The Insurgents will want to know ex? actly what powers have been be stowed on Senor Carabajal. It Is said, for Instance, that Senator Braniff and Senor Obrejon. who have been in? terested in the negotiations, will act with Senor Carabajal, but In what ca? pacity It 13 not known to the Insur reete leaders. Should it develop that Senor Cara? bajal is to be the sole envoy with plenary powers, the insurrectos will invest Dr. Gomez wdth similar cre? dentials, Francisco Madero, Sr., and Senor Suarez acting in an advisory capacity. Th* lnsurrecto leadtrs are deter? mined that formal negotiations shall not begin until the federal envoy's present credentials authorizing them to act for the government. The substance of the lnsurrecto demands Is known in a general way. The revolutionists Insist on parties pa ttbsj in government affairs an<i point out that the onlj way to guaranty it i< to place some mOAhberi of ?hel: party in the cabinet and to select at least a dozen of their supporters as provincial governors pending new elections. While the resignation of President Diaz la said to be hardly mentioned In the lnsurrecto demands, the rebel3 beltOVS that with a majority represen? tation In governmental affairs the per? sonality of the executive will be of Httle Importance. tThey emphasize the fact that there is no personal quarrel, but a political revolt. One reason for the absence of any discussion at present concerning Pns ' I Ident Diaz's part In the forthcoming transactions Is that there are few reb? els who believe that Diaz Intends to continue in the preside ocy. No one has assurance of any resignation but the Insurrectos generally declare oth? er hands are steering the ship of State In th*> Mexican capital. The military leaders are invited to the conference merely to advise th" peace envoys of the progress of the negotiations. PRESS C. P. SANDERS' CLAIM.

Ho mad6 a good beginning, was reverential toward God ftod put his capital and the remainder of his kingdom into a good condition for defense against enemies. When think? ing of the wars of Israel we are to re member that this nation for a time represented God's rule in the earth in a sense that no other nation ever did, either before or after them. Israel's kings were anointed by Di? vine commission and authority, as were no other kings, ami they were snid to "sit upon the Throne of the Kingdom of the Lord." as no other kings before or since have bold domin? ion, /heirs was not. however, the Kingdom of God for which we pray, VThy Kingdom come; thy will be done on earth." but merely a preparatory arrangement with the typical Israelites. Ho Shall Reign For a Thousand Years God's Kingdom will really come to tarth after Messiah shall establish it. For a thousand years He shall reign to uplift tbe humble and to bless all who seek righteous? ness and to pun? ish and correct all others aud finally to destroy the incorrigible In the Second Death. It was, therefore, quite In line with the _ . .. , " Umziah b leprosy. arrangements of that time that the kings of Israel and Judah should fortify and strengthen themselves aud defend the land which the Almighty had specially given to their nation. Tbe truthfulness of our text was il? lustrated In King Uzziah when his fame bad spread abroad and he began to feel bis greatness. Pride came in; he forgot that he was merely the Lord's representative in the kingdom. Having accomplished great things from a political and military stand? point, Uzzlah essayed to a religious | d&itlnction. Tie evidently felt tl>at , Ood was proud of him * would be ; very piocsed to have bin. enter the> ! temple after the manner of the priests ] and offer Incense nt the Golden A liar, lie knew of the rules governing the temple and its service, but considered himself above tbem. He would go di? rect to God and not recognize the priest. There Is but tbe One Way of Approach to God Many successful people fall into the same error of supposing that their success in business or In politics, their brilliancy of mind, or their polish of education are tho only requisites In the sight of Jehovah. They feel that If they go to Church and acknowledge Ood, God should be very proud to have them and, of course, should give them the first place in everything. This is a mistake. The great King Eternal, "the Lofty Ono that inhab lteth Eternity," has rules and regula? tions governing all attempts to ap? proach Him. There in the one way of approach and no other. King Uzziah knew of the Divine ar? rangement, that his prayers as Incense could be offered to the Almighty on the "Golden Altar" only by the priest, so those who now have come to a realization of tho fact that Jesus is the great anti typical Priest through whom com m unlcntlon with the Father has been opened up would come under condem? nation should Humility before honor. int?tle Into the Divine pres? ence In prayer, Otherwise than as pro? vided in the Divine arrangement, as King Uzziah was smitten with leprosy for his presumption and pride. A Lesson of Humility "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth." (2 Tim. 2:15.) The lesson seems to be one of humility, both for the Church and tho world. Rome are born humble minded and oth? ers self conceited. Humility is impor? tant, not only on its own account, but also because the other graces of the Holy Spirit cannot be cultivated with? out It. The Apostle begins the list of these spiritual graces with meekness. How could one be patient and sub? missive in the trials and difficulties of lifo if not meek? How could ono be kind toward opponents and in all things if he were not meek? How could one be patient toward all if lie were not meek? How could ono be Godlike without meekness? How could ono be loviny In the Scriptural sense without meekness? Along these lines all who will he of the Churc h will be tested. Meekness and humility must be cultivated and must abound in the heart in order to enable the cultivation of the other fruits of lb,- Spirit.

Davis, Galena, Stone county, Mo., writes: "I have been in bad health for thirty-seven years, and after taking twelve bottles of your Peruna I am cured." Mr. C. N. Peterson, 132 South Main St., Council Bluffs, Iowa, writes: ??1 cannot tell you how much good Peruna has done me. Constant confinement in my store began to tell on my health, and I felt that I was gradually breaking down. I tried several remedies, but obtained no permanent relief until I took Pe? runa. I felt better immediately, and five bottles restored me to complete health." A SINCERE RECOMMENDATION. Mr. D. C. Prosser, Bravo, Allegan Co., Mich., writes: "Two years ago I was badly afflicted with catarrh of the stomach. I had had a run of typhoid fever, was very depleted. I could find nothing I could eat without causing dis? tress and sour stomach. Finally I came to the conclusion that I had catarrh of the stomach and seeing Peruna advertised, began to take it. It helped me soon, and after taking three or four bottles 1 was entirely cured of stomach trouble# and can now eat anything.n DR. No G. OSTEEN, JR., DENTIST. 18 W.
