Too Big a Man for a Mere Honor at St. Louis. Empty other interpretation. Yet he is but a creature of finite power. From Job ii, 7 and Luke xiii, 16, we see that he has exercised an in explicable influence over men and their physical health, and from He brews ii, 14, he seems to have in some sense the power of death. But his doings are under God’s control, for he could not enter into the herd of eight years ago he would have been one of the most radical of the radicals, and instead of acting as a peacemaker would have been one of the chief dis turbers. It was Tillman, we are told, who effected the compromise on tTie financial plank. Bryan and his adhe rents wanted a straight silver plank, and Hill and the eastern men wanted a straight gold plank. Tillman effected a compromise by which the financial swine without God’s permission. {See plank should be eliminated altogether from the platform, and that Judge Mark v, 12). His influence over the good men is mysterious and why he should be per mitted to impede the work of the Gospel we cannot say, but he does. So Paul thought. First he hinders the progress of the Gospel by endeavoring to keep sinners from going to Christ. See the case of the young man in I Luke ix, 42. "And as he was yet a- Parker should supply it in his letter accepting the nomination. Again, w'hile the committee was in session framing the platform there were many bitter clashes.

Second. Satan hinders the work of There are few if any Democrats in the country exerting a greater or a the church by inciting unfriendly med- i dling. See this in the rebuilding of j the temple of Zerubbabel in Ezra iv, 1-4, and in Nehemiah iv, 7-8, in the | reference to Sanballat and Tobiah, in the building of the walls of Jerusa lem. These men, Sanballat and Tobi-, ah, have many successors, and unfor tunately they will hinder the work and occasion great delays. Third. Satan hinders by stirring«ip persecutions against the church. This has been the experience of the church more wholesome influence upon the Democratic party today. A Legend. [National Advocate.] There is an old legend of a man who sold his soul to Satan. The con ditions: For a certain number of years this man was t » have all his de sires gratified, at the expiration of which his soul was forfeited. When the time agreed upon had ex in all ages. The persecution of the ■ pired, this man was unwilling to tul- church by Hainan in Esther, and of Saul of Tarsus and of the Thessalo- nians and of many of the Roman em perors, notably Nero—will be recalled at once. But satan did not intend these to till his part of the contract, and asked Satan upon what terms he could be released. The reply was: "If you will curse God 1 will release you.” “No,” said the man, “I cannot curse catter the knowledge of the gospel as 1 the Being whose nature is love. Give God has done. He makes the wrath of man to praise him and the remainder •ot wrath He restrains. The blood of the martyrs becomes the seed of the church. Fifth. He greatly hinders the work by leading some good men to sin. The sad story of Eden is well known by all. In i Chron., xxi, X, David’s expe rience will be recalled. While Judas was not a good man yet he too was led by satan to sell his Lord (Luke xxxii, 3) and Ananias and Sapphira (Acts v, 1-11) were influenced by sa tan to lie to the Holy Ghost. He has no respect of persons. He tempted our Lord, and he tempts his servants, as he did Joshua at the al tar and Job in his integrity. me something less fearfully wicked.” “Then kill your father,” replied Sa tan. "and you go free.’ • No answered the man, “that is !oo horrible to think of. I will not commit o great a crime. Are there no other conditions?” "One more,” replied the tempter. “You must get drunk.” "That is a very easy thing to do,” the man answered, "and 1 accept your proposition. 1 cannot kill my father, 1 will not curse my God, but I can get drunk, and then when 1 become sober .ill will be well.” Accordingly he got drunk, and when in this condition he happened to meet his father, who upraided him, which so excited the ire of the drunkard and The only safeguard against him is razed man, that he slew his fa in Christ, who is satan’s Lord and i the ,.

Only legend, this particular case, but how true to the facts regarding the liquor curse. That Sobered Me. [Youth’s Companion.] A gentleman high in commercial cir cles in a Western city was relating some of his experiences to a group of friends. . "I think,” said he, “the most singu lar thing that ever happened to me was in Hawaii. My father was a mis sionary in those islands, and I was born there. I came away at an early age, however, and most of my life has been spent in this country; but when 1 was a young man, too, I may say, I went back there once on a visit. The first thing 1 did was to drink more than 1 should have done. While I was in this condition an old man—a native —persuaded mo to go home with him. He took tne into his house, bathed my head, gave me some strong coffee, and talked soothingly and kindly to me. " ‘Old man,’ 1 said, ‘what are you doing all this for me for?’ “‘Well,’ he answered, Til tell you. The b< t friend I ever had was a white man, and an American. I was a poor drunkard. He made a man of me, and I hope a Christian. All I am or ever hope to be 1 owe to him. Whenever 1 see an American in your condition I feel like doing all I can for him. on account of what that man did for me.’ This is a little better English than he used, but it is the substance of it. “ ‘What was the name of the man?’ I asked him. ‘“Mr. Blank, a.missionary.’ “‘God of mercy!’ I cried. ‘He was my father. "Gentlemen, that sobered me. and, I hope, made a man of me. It is cer tain that whatever 1 am today 1 owe to that poor old Sandwich Islander.” Wouldn’s Miss First Chance. They had been talking about Eng lishmen of title who took up useful work, says the Courier Journal. Some body mentioned Lord Ross, who is a good practical engineer, and then somebody else told this story: “Lord Ross having once—unknown to the employes—entered the engine room of a large manufactory, the en gineer’s attention was attracted by his odd behavior. “’Well, what’s up now?’ he growled at the peer. ‘What are you shaking your head and pulling out your watch for? What have you got to find fault with, anyhow?’ “‘Oh!’ replied Lord Ross, ‘It is all the same to me. 1 have got no fault to find. I am just waiting till the boiler explodes.’ “‘Boiler explodes? Why, you are a crazy man,’ exclaimed the engineer, angrily, preparing to turn the peer out as a dangerous crank. “‘Well,’ retorted the earl, ‘if you work ten minutes longer with that lose screw there the boiler will cer tainly explode.’ “The engineer, gazing in the direc tion indicated by Lord Ross, paled and jumped to stop the engine. “ ‘Why didn’t you say so sooner?’ he blurted out. “‘Why should I?’ answered the peer. T never yet have had an op portunity of seeing a boiler explode.’ ” Iron left too long in the fire will become useless; virtue left too long on ostentatious exhibition corrodes and rusts until it becomes a vice. date said: ’The North Carolina delegation met and formally decided to present Governor Aycock’s name to the con vention. the delegates from South Car olina and Virginia stating that they would vote for his nomination. Jo sephus Daniels went to see the New York delegation about the matter. He was told that the gold plank hail been withdrawn from the platform largely out of consideration for the South, and suggested to Mr. Daniels that it would not he good policy to urge a Southern man for vice president. It became apparent thath Governor Ay cock would not be nominated and the friends of the governor thought that he was too big a man to need empty compliments and decided not to pre sent his name. Governor Aycock was recognized by all the delegates as the leading governor of the South,and not only the leading governor, but that no man stands higher in the opinion of the nation than he does. He was not only known and recognized by the representatives of the different States, but admired by them all.’ “Asked as to the confusion and dis order incident to the telegram of Judge Parker after the New Yorker’s nomination, Mr. Craig said: ‘The start of the confusion about Judge Parker's telegram was when The Star, the leading Republican paper of St. Louis, published in a most sensa tional manner extra issues saying that Judge Parker in a telegram to Senator Carmack, of Tennessee, had repudi ated the platform and declined the nomination. Newsboys seblng the Star ran over the streets of St. Louis shouting, ‘Parker refuses the nomina tion.’ As a matter of fact. Judge Par ker had sent no such telegram, and did not send any telegram at all to Senator Carmack. After the contents of his telegram had been made known and the convention had considered the matter the delegates came to the con clusion that Judge Parker had acted wisely and manly.’ ” Mania for Getting Rich, [Success.] The mania for getting rich—the mad, false idea that we must have money—has played worse havoc among ambitious people than war or pestilence. A member of the Chicago beard of trade says that the meu and women of this country contribute $100,000,000 a year to the sharpers who promise to make them rich quick. They work the same old scheme of a confidential letter and shrewd baiting, until the victim parts with his money. Thousands are plod ding along in poverty and deprivation chagrined and humiliated because they have succumbed to the scheme of some smooth promoter, who hyp notized them into the belief that they could make a great deal very quickly out of a very little. The great fever of trying to make $1 earn $5 is growing more and more contagious. We see even women secretly going into brokers’ offices and "bucket shops,” investing every thing they have in all sorts of schemes, drawing their deposits out of the banks, sometimes pawning their jewelry—even their engagement rings —and borrowing, hoping to make a lot of money before their husbands or families find it out and then to sur prise them with the results; but fh most cases, what they invest is hope lessly lost. Thousands of young Americans are so tied up by financial or other en- tanglments, even before they get fairly in their lifework, that they can only transmute a tithe to their real Jews in Japan. [Jewish Daily News.] The Jews of Nogasaki, Japan, have given further proof that the Jew is in to tho Char- i tensely patriotic and ardently loves the country which allows him to de velop unmolested. The Nogaski Jews have displayed their keen sense of patriotism and loyalty by subscribing liberally towards the Red Cross Soci-' ety and by arranging a special service ; in their synagogue to pray for the continued success of the Japanese! arms. Nogaski, which is equal to Shanghai in Jewish population, pos-. sesses a beautiful synagogue founded nine years ago by the late Mr. It. H. ! Goldenberg. The deceased married a j Japanese lady, who ultimately em-; braced Judaism, together with two sons and a daughter. The congrega-1 tion is in a prosperous condition and ! is highly respected by natives and i foreigners. nwi:; - * iHiumiuaiK'' N - If a man knows how to saw off a leg he may not know any more about political economy than the man who can put a new wooden leg on the crip ple. All that prayer is to man is simply an evidence of his faith. Neither God nor nature can drop special gifts simply for the asking. h; HANcocks Nature's Greatest Germicide.

Baltimore, Md. A prominent Southern lady, Mrs. Blanchard, of Nashville, Tenn., tells how she was cured of backache, dizziness, painful and irregular periods by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “Dear Mrs. Pinkham : —Gratitude compels me to acknowledge the great merit of your Vegetable Compound. I have suffered for four years with ir regular and painful menstruation* also dizziness, pains in the back and lower limbs, and fitful sleep. I dreaded the time to come which would only mean Buffering to me. “ Better health is all I wanted, and cure if possible. Lydia E. Pink- liam’s Vegetable Compound brought me health and happiness in a few short months. I feel like another person now. My aches and pains have left me. Life seems new and sweet to me, and everything seems pleasant and easy. “ Six bottles brought me health, and was worth more than months under the doctor’s care, which really did not benefit me at all.
