lessons on the Kingdom This topic

Today's study Is another of the King?
dom parables It Is the embryo King
dorn tbst Is pictured; It relates to this
Gospel Age. and the work of selecting
the Church
The F-eld Is the World."
This pnrui-ie also shows us the very
commencement of
the Lord's mil for
His Bride from
amongst all ns
ttons 8t Tsui ?Se?
ele re? to the Jews,
"It was necessary
that the Gospel
should be preach?
ed first unto you,
but seeing ye re?
ject It, ? ? ? lo. ws
turn to the Gen
ttlea" (Acts slit e&) Tbe entire world
constituted tbe -field" for the sowing
of the "good seed," which Is strictly
defined, "the Gospel of tbe Kingdom "
Jesus and the Apostles aowTu* this
"good seed,** and all ills true followers
since have been authorised to continue
the work In His name. But the Ad?
versary. Slat an. as pointed out here lo
the parable, brought In s different kind
of "seed " snd sowed this over the
"wheat field." The result Is that today
the "Urea" are so pleutlful that they
think they are the "wheat." and the
world In general so considers them.
The "wheat" class are considered "a
peculiar people." Of their good fruits
the Apostle mentions meekness and
humility, snd these tend to bow their
heads, while the "tares" stand proudly
up In the display of their "form of
sjodUlnesa"
The Lord a I bowed the matter to go
on, fully ensured that He would have
In the end the crop which He desired,
snd very content to allow a great lee
son to be taught by the presence of
the "tares" snd the ultimate treat men
accorded the "wheat"
The Lord could bare hindered ic
Adversary from bringing In the ' lse
doctrines, or He could have separated
centuries ago between the wheat ond
tars class es, but this was not according
to His Intention. He purposed to "let
both grow together uutll the Harvest."
In the Common Version tbe word a.
"Tbe Harvest ts tbe end of the world."
have been seriously misunderstood. It
does not mean tbe end of time, uor the
end of the earth?Its destruction- nor
the end of Divine favor It merely
means tbs end of the present Age
"In the Tune of the Harvest."
This expression signlQes that the
Harvest of this Age will not be an in
stantsneous work, but a gradual OAS.
requiring tiuus. There Is good reason
for believing that tbe Harvest of Ihr*
Age Is s period of forty years, as the
Harvest of the Jewish .Age was of that
length. In this time of the Harvest
two thlogs will be accomplished: (li
The "Urea" will be gathered Into "bun
dies," ready for tbe "burning"-dr.
structlon. (2) The "wheat" st the
same time, will be gathered Into the
"garner"?the heavenly Kingdom.
I "They shall gather out of His Kltsg
dom all things which offend, and tbem
which do Iniquity; ? ? ? thereshall ha
walling and gnashing of teeth." There
will be two classes amongst the
??tares"; one class, "doers of Iniquity"
(Inequity, unrighteousness), the other
clsss. those that have caused others to
* stumble. DmibtleH* this will Include
many teachers and preachers, and
many doers of wonderful works
But we nmi?;t not forget that we are
considering a parable, and that the
"tares" sre symbolical, and likewise
the "furnace" and the "fire." The In?

Mr. Keed. who is the rifcht bower
of William J. Hums, is spending a
few days in Atlanta, the guest of
Attorney Thomas B. Felder, in whose
employ he was when he secured the
evidence against Nichols and Hlease.
It was Detective Heed who exposed
th?. Atlantic City grafters, 80 of
whom have been convicted by the
grand Jury, *nd it was he who traced
Harvey Login n, the famous Montana
train r' bber, to South America. A
history of him and his work would

Began When Sixteen.
It was back in 1S89, when Mr. lived
then a boy of 16 years, pulled off
his first big detective stunt. He had
been assisting his father, wh was
alao a detective, .n running down
some of the criminals who infested
the Black Hills ? ountry in South
Dakota following the Sioux Indian
uprising.
One day a judge by the name of
Wood, who had learned of young
Heed's familiarity with the trails and
passe? of the then wild and undevel?
oped territory, came to him and of?
fered hint a large sum to locate a
little girl who had been abducted
and who was believed to have been
carried into the Black Hills.
Judge Wood told Heed that the
child's name was May Chase; that
her grandfather, an unscrupulous
Chicago millionaire, had hired a dar?
ing cowboy to kidnap her and hide
her away. It was explained to Heed
that the child's mother, the daugh?
ter of the millionaire, had been her
father's private secretary and in this
cupaclty had become familiar with
i
many of his crooked deals. She de?
veloped religious tendencies and her
conscience prodding her, she threat?
ened to confess her father's rascality.
Becoming alarmed, the father sought
to force her into a marriage With a
man WROlfl he hail ?elected, believ?
ing the marriage would close her
lips.
I The ceremony was arranged and
whet) the prospective gronin appear?
ed tin girl spat in his face and de?
clared |g the onViating minister that
?he would not marry the man. Neith?
er thrown nor persuasion would
cause nor to relent and her father
made her a prisoner In her own home,
<?ne day she sought to elope with a
former sw?-et heart and. in Jumping
out of g window, broke her leg. She
II 11 kept to her bed for months, but
linally oscaped, married the sweet?
heart and disappeared into south
Dakota, A little girl was born to
the woman, and when the child was
three years old it was kidnapped. Af?
ter < oirsideruhlo search it was locat?
ed and returned to the mother, only
to !<?? kidnapped again when it wa*?
its yean old.

It was the second cast that ileed

house in the Black Hill country,
where he found she was in the care
of an Old vornan and guarded by a

abeest at n round-up, he came upon
the old woman and Kill at a spring.

land Logan and kept a Standing of?

the red tape of extradition from Ar?

Atlantic City Case.
The most recent a-nd perhaps the
most Important piece of work ever
done by Detective Rssd was the
rounding UP Of the Atlantic City
gratters, which he completed a few
weeks ago. After opening offices on
Wall Street, New York, securing elab?
orate apartments at the Waldorf Ho?
tel in that city. Heed, posing as J. K.
Harris, a millionaire contractor, went
to Atlantic City, ostensibly for recre?
ation. He took a suite of rooms in
the Marlborough-Blsnhslm, which he
Connected up with dictagraphs.
Ascertaining that the city was
spending 940,000 a year for repairs !
to the famous boardwalk, of which
190,000 was divided in graft to the'
city officials and bosses. Reed gave
OU1 an interview suggesting that the
Old boardwalk should be replaced '
with a concrete walk; that in the
Snd It would he cheaper and more '
satisfactory. He studiously avoided '
I
the i ity officials and his interest ap?
peared to he that of a disinterested 1
but experienced contractor. I
The concrete walk suggestion at?
tracted attention immediately, and
the trade bodies and civic associa?
tions invited him to address them
upon the project. After he had
created an almost universal demand
for the new walk, one of the leaders
In the council called on him at his
hotel and adroitly negotiated a deal
Whereby 19 members of the council,
the city attorney and other official!
were to be paid certain sums for put?
ting through the concrete walk or?
dinance. Seventy-live thousand dol?
lars was to he divided among them.
One by one the other councilmen
Wore drawn into the negotiations and
conversations were had with various
Official! at the Marlborough-Blen
hslm, the Waldorf in New York and
the Continental Hotel In New York.
Bach of these convsrsatiom was re?
corded by the dictagraph.
The MDhrvyM Planned.
The ordlnunce, which was passed
by the grafters, provided that Reed
was to receive 7 per cent of. the
91,600.000 to be expended on the
concrete walk for engineering servi?
ces, 7 per cent for his own personal
supervision and 980*000 for his plans,
etc. This last mentioned sum was
under the agreement to be divided
among the grafters.
So skittish were the grafters tha\
they would not accept the money at
any Of the hotels, but insisted that it
be paid over In a back room oi Ma?
lta's comb nation saloon and hotel,
a di\c t u a by an alderman by the
name of Malia, who was one of the
gang,
It was necessary for Heed to in?
stall his dictagraph In thta dive. He
must do thla without creating suspi?
cion, so he hit upon the Idea of send?
ing a crow of linemen from X.w

tensibly in the employ of a local pow?

SENATE DISCUSSES (WAL BILL.
Opinions D'hVr (( tUgftts of
i Rifted States.
Washington, July 17. --Senator
O'Gorman, i New York, charged in
the Senate today that railroad in?
fluence was behind Great Britain's
protest, against the Panama ('anal
bill and he joined with Senator Lodge
in declaring that the United States po
lessed full rights under the British
treaty to give free passage to ships
of American regtgtfcr. These two
speeches marked the debate In the
Senate on the Panama Canal btIL
Both Mr. Lodge and Mr. O Gor?
man declared this nation was not
bound by the Hay-Paunccfote treaty
to give foreign ships all the privileg?
es granted American ships. Mr. Lodge
favored a bill to rebate the tolls to
American ships, however, while Sen?
ator O'Gorman, declared the United
States possessed the full right to give
American vessels free passage, if de?
sired. Senator Lodge conceded that
if the case went to the Hague Court
the United States will probably lose.
The support today for the provision
giving free passage to American
ships, against which Great Britain has
protested, was more emphatic than at
any time lines the Senate began con?
sideration of the bill. Mr. O'Gor?
man, Mr. Cummins and others declar?
ed that if the United States had to
construe the treaty literally in giving
the ships of all nations equal treat?
ment, jt would, by other terms of the
treaty, be prevented from defending
the canal in case of war.
"If g Japanese fleet appeared at the
western end of the canr.l," said
Senator Reed, of Missouri, "bent up?
on passing through to attack the city
of New York. the United States
would have no right, under such a
construction of the treaty, to take
any steps against it."
Senator Rurton. of Ohio, who made
the first speech Monday in support
of the British theory that the Unit?
ed States can give no special privil?
eges to its own vessels, declared war
would suspend the operation of the
treaty. Senator McCumber. however,
in a speech today against the free pro?
vision, conceded that it was his belief
the canal would have to remain neutral

United States would be forbidden by
the Hay-Pauneefote treaty from tak?

Senator O'Gorman declared that
