The Sherwood one dollar a day pension law has passed the Hou$t of Representatives and is now pend­ ing in the Senate. This bill it is es­ timated will increase the amount paid in pensions to the surviving soldiers of the Civil War *30,000,.00 a year. I t is rumored th a t Presi­ dent Taft will veto the bill lr it pas­ ses the senate on the ground that the country cannot afford to pay this extra amount. We do not know whether there is any foundation for the report of the intended veto of the President. We hope there is not as we believe, tha t if there is any class of men who de serve to be treated liberally by the government it is the old soldiers, The objection to the Increased ex­ penditure of the government t0 -meet fchiB additional charge and. the talk of a veto on tha t ground seems nn- justand unfair tp us.

Still,' we are expending hundreds of millions of dollars is year for these purposes.

Other Ship. The “ship of the desert," like any other ship, may be capsized and in that predicament .the camel •Is said to be absolutely helpless under certain conditions. - The queer beast’s maimer of lying down to rest is to fold his legs beneath his body. If he happens to roll upon, his side he cannot recover his feet again. This infirmity. of the animal was amusingly illustrated in the ex­ perience of a French explorer whose caravan was made up of camels. The leader had ’bought some.new ones and .had no idea of taking any other animals into a country largely composed of loose sand. Trouble be­ gan at the very outset One camel, as' awkwkard as any of the species, managed to tumble into a ditch of thick mild between, the road and a wheat field. When once fallen a cam­ el can only get up again If he can arrange his feet, conveniently under him and if the ground is nearly ,flat„ |n this case it was not so. ’ The ani­ mal lay with all four’feet In the air, perfectly resigned and Incapable Of a single movement to help himself. To' draw' him out required more than half an hour and took the united efforts of many men with cords passed under the camel’s back. World-Famed Tree, In.the botanical gardens of Calcutta la the famous banyan tree. It covers 2 * 4 'acres of ground and fills the Visi­ tor with admiration and awe. The utmost care Is' taken of thlB wonderful tree, for every tender young root, as It begins to fall like a sta-. factite from the branch overhead, Is encased and protected from harm In.a bamboo. It is hoped that this particu­ lar tree, nursed and nurtured like a baby, will Within the next 50 years, coyer at least 15 acres of ground. It is supposed to have 1,500 aerial roots, a number of which 'it is probable that a cypher has been accidentally omitted, Tho mother trunk is an al­ most shapeless mass by this time, and contributes very little to the susten­ ance of Its multitudinous progeny, v The banyan tree flourishes in India as in no other part of the world, al­ though they do, reach an enormous size—with hundreds of roots—In some other lands. Good for Business. “Such a perfect gentleman!" gushed Miss Softwin. “Xt was bo good of you to introduce.him to me last night, dear. We had a most delightful and interesting conversation after the con­ cert was over." "Yes?" calmly queried Miss Knox, who was cynical enough to know that there was. something more to come. "And after hearing me sing," said J Miss Softwin, “he told me—quite se-1 rlously, you know—that he would give anything If he had my voice. He said I it was worth a fortune. I’m sure he 4 the 0trength that comea from OTercom- Tb go over all the lessons separate­ ly, one after another, to repeat titles and Golden Texts in order, to select certain truths we have learned—this ■Is not review. What we need is the movement of the whole period of the history, to studyUnmeaning, toWhat it is leading, how each event, each charac­ ter, bears upon this end, to help or to hinder, to see God In the history, and to learn the lessons the whole period teaches us. Reviewing is looking backward from some tower or hilltop, over the land- 'scapfr through which, we have been traveling, The Mils, the valleys, the cities, the villages, the forests, the fee tile fields, we have been seeing in de tail through the quarter, we now see as one broad country, and we understand the meaning and power of the land as a whole. ' , The principal countries where the events took place should be noted on the map, their relations to one anoth­ er, the modern name# of these lands given, and the events in each reported. The Bible history Is made more real, and more Interesting, when the con temporary events of secular history are connected with. It, Joining day school with Sunday school. And often the secular history throws light upon the Biblical history^ - The monuments, the remains of ancient times found In the ruins 91 their great cities within the last century, add greatly to pur knowledge and'lnterest. The history we are reviewing, nat-"* uraHy falls into fOur eras or periods, ( 1 ) The two streams of the divided kingdom. (2) The single stream of Ju­ dah. (3) The Exile. ■(1) The 'Return and Restoration! I. First Period. ‘The Divided King­ dom.—Judah and Israel .side by side, a double experiment in the progress of the kingdom of God. This period ex tended from 982-722, about 260 years. Judah’s territory contained about 3,400 square' miles; Israel's (1,400, Judah's capital was Jerusalem with Its tem­ ples; Israel’s was Samaria, with two centers of false worship. - Judah was more sheltered than Israel from close contact with the heathen, both politi­ cally and religiously. Judah had one dynasty of 11 kings, and one queen, all of. the hotisa of David; and Israel 19 kings and 9 dynasties/ ludah had several very good kings,.and great revivals of-religion, and reforms of morals; while to Israel from (lie first was a deterioration Of varying de­ gress, with great) elp from Elijah and Elisha. ' ' ' The principles"we^ave been study­ ing apply to our.own. times, but ate worked out to ways adapted to modern life. “The church Is ah army on duty, an army for the Chrlstiafi conquest of the world by. Joying,faithfulness." There are great evils to he driven ont of our country. The whole land is wak­ ing up to realize the need of civic right­ eousness. There (s always. need ef awakening' new reforming zeal, For every step We gain gives us views of new needfi, and new ideals. Every Christian land, ought to be a perfect ex­ ample of the kingdom of God, and of the blessings that abound to IL Every failure to live that life lessens its In­ fluence over the heathen nations. II. Second Period. Judah the Sole Kingdom.—Length of Period, 136 years —from destruction of Samaria 722 to final fall of Jerusalem and destruction of the temple to 586, . Every failure from the perfect life, every moral wrong, every fall Into Idolatry, dlmln-. ished their powerfqr good; and it was necessary that punishment should fol­ low such conduct, both to persuade them Into the ways Of God and right­ eousness,.and also to show the heath­ en that only obedience to God could lend to the blessings prepared -for Gods people. III. Third Period. The Exile in Baby­ lon. Length of period, 70 years, 605- 536 and 686-516. A period of discipline, of Sifting like wheat, of the refiners purifying fire, Tho Jews learned their need of God, tho value of religion, the blessedness of the Word of God; they gained the broadening of their ideas, and sympa­ thies, the increase of their culture. Discipline, purifying to the furnace, Was perfectly sincere in saying it, too." ‘Tm certain he was," retorted Miss Knox hopefully, "Perfectly sincere! You see,'dear, he's an auctioneer." The First "Working Test. Nothing convinces like experience. \ The doctors havo been telling, its for years that public drinking cups were disseminators of disease. Now comes Walla Walla with tho report that con­ tagious diseases have disappeared from the schools since, the Commoh cup was eliminated.-—Portland Ore­ gonian. r lng, Is the need of all individuals and churches today. IV. The Fourth Period. The Return, i Tho New Spiritual Nation,—This pe- j riod extends from the first return la ! 536 to the close of the Bible history, j 400—with an onward vision to the coin* 1 ing of Ghrlst. Preparations for .the coming of Christ, ——'—*~ The forerunner. Before and After, "How does this noted healer Who cures his patients by touching them, differ from a regular physician?” “Why, he toucher, them before hj cures them." A CURE FOR CARE, “DP hot worry; trust Instead!" That is what the Master said. And It canndt be denied That his teaching, when applied, Proves a sovereign cure for care, Lightens brudehs anywhere, Heathen men who never heard Of the Master’s restful word May be. pitied if they l e t . Anxious thoughts their spirits Ifot, But disciples AUmay learn Of the Master to discern, That, while God doth reign above, “Providence" means watchful love, ISBEAUTY WORTHMURWHILES ViolaCream .!r Pi « h wwwjMflfwrharm* ptoprnmoa and CIWtS&fcY/n! l6t k>n*h*HW*OT»*M loo ,1 Tomdetohi», Piles orSmiles?
