The Incident recalls tete Mihite Ages, When kidnapping was en honorablo cal- ling and hokd.ng to ransom was a pro Gkt'b1e busines, This is not the first time that Rai• Suit has made money by reverting 10 I nodiarwal ways. Some four years ago lite captured the correspondent of the London Times on the outskirts of Tan- gier and did not give hint up till he eecurrsl in exchange the release from {prison of some of his adherents. Not long afterward he seized en American and a llritish subject, and this time not Only got from the Sultan Abdul Aziz a ransom of some fifty tbousand dol- lars but also an nppointtnent to bo Gov- ernor of a district where his interests lay. (laving been dismissed from thls post tib tut a year ago, he forthwith re vetted to brigandage, and all atternpte Ir coerce him failed, although ono of the towns controlled by him was occu- pied and a number of his followers and bonne women o1 his harem were cap- tured. in June of last year, believing that more could be accomplished by diplo- macy than by force, the Sultan sent Sir Harry MacLean to negotiate with the bandit, but after one interview the envoy venturei to go to another with out adequate safeguards and on July 1 was made prisoner. Tho efforts to Secure his release were tong Tuttle, -ow- ing to the preposterous terms imposed by the Megan!. 11 ,isuli ultttnately de cI,ncd to treat wflh the Sultan Abdul Aziz and insisted upon entering into direct negotiations with the British Government. Even after an agreement had been reached with Sir Gerard Low- ther, the British Minister at Tangier, a hitch occurred, because the authority of 'Atxiul Aziz had become so weakened at Fez that it was impossible to secure the Moorish prisoners detained there %rho were to be exchanged for Sir Harry MacLean. Atter Mulai Hasid, however, had been proclaimed et Fez, the prix• oners were given up and reached,Tan' gier tato in January. Thus the last obstacle to the eomen• tion of lite agreement for ransom dis- appeared. and on February 0 Ralsuti himself brought Kaid MacLean to the British Legation. Tho terms upon which tho release was procured were cabled at the time. Not only did the bandit re'eivo from the British Govern. rnent 3100,000 and tho release of fifty. six Moorish prisoners, together with the slave women who were token after the destruction of a house of his, but he became himself, together with twen- ty-eight of his relatives, a British pro- tected subject. Of the money 125,000 was paid in hand, but as a guarantee of good behavior Iho remainder was to be .teposittel for throe jeans in the State Bank, though by way of Interest 8250 Sea3 to be paid to hint monthly. What heightens the methanol flavor of tido story is the fact, attested by all who have conte in contact with him, that Reisult is as courteous and engag- ing a person as ever robbed on the high - Way or cut a throat. The correspon- dent of the London Times who had been his captive four years before visited him on the evening of February 7 and testa* not only that his manners were as usual polite and friendly, but that hie merest were high and he showed himself capable of considerable humor.

This is but one lick ill a chain of tersely put elements that go into the making of Christian characLer. But witlwut this ono link, that St. Paul has hi the very heart of the chain, the strength of the chain, whatever the beauty and power of the other lurks, wilt be a tope et sand. When the soul has no longer the power to hope, no matter what the ttarknees of the passing hour, it has ksl the divine spark that makes life worth while. As long as the soul has !tape it has courage, it has faith, it has lita-and it will light and struggle and refuse to know defeat. Ilope engenders all the quuht:es of ,irength-it Ls the very foundation of them. It gives joy and sunshine to life, to work, to every aspiration. We can rejoice in hope, but without it we can only wail and mourn. Out of hope grows pa4ienee end endurance, and (hese virtues are twins. f'atlenea to endure; endure because we are patient, and beth because we havo hope -be- cause We con look beyoni the moment and see the flush of sunrise on the dis- tant horizon. Hope enables a mean to koop a 000l head, a dumb tongue, a sweet, temper under tho most trying circumstances, because ho can rejoice in hope in the knowledge that NOTHING LASTS FOREVER, that Terhnps the next turn of the wheel of fortune may lift hint to the coveted height and if ft doesn't because of his hope he does not despair, but silently works and struggles on. But let the man lose hope, let the di- vine spark di:' to his bosons and set hint down amid all that perplexes, annoys, eondernns and hinders and you snake el hint a weakling or a madman. But ell these are insignificant things when the soul that hopes compares them with the victories and achievements he ho- I'eves await hint in the future and he finds .strength to master the spirit of resentment, anger and despair. It was a lope of this kind that ere nbied St. I'aul to say: "Our light altlic- ttuns, which are but for a moment, w•orketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." So hope not only works in us the power to endure present struggles and hard.thtps, but It gives us the oppor- tunity to develop the strength through which we are to overcome In the gird. Find the strongest and most firmly r. oted oak of a forest and you will find one that has best combatted the fury of a thousand storm,;. Go Lind a mean who stands high among hs (eltow•e and sou will find a than who has passed through some of the heed places of life, who hes suffered and fought, but be- oause of hie hope and the vision iC in- spired hos overcome and eon. HE REJOICED IN IIOPE. Ge find the saint, the beautiful poised Christian character, who breathes with spirit of the Chriat, who is touched with sympathy and loves everything that is weak and helpless, everything that struggles and suffers, and you will find a soul that has passed through the fire, a soul that has met temptation and has fr ught and fallen and got up and struggled on tilt with the fighting there hes o•nne strength and understanding and the spirit that in tho end has con- quered, rejoteing in the hope, rejoicing in the victory seen frons afur. \Vo must not despair; we cannot af- fc.rd to grow skeptical because tete Christ does not conte in our own way and in our day.

(Based on the text of the Revised Version.) A Group of Discourses. -in chapters 7 and 8 of John's Gospel are reoorde t several separate disoourses of Jesus spoken by him at Jerusalem during and just after itis autumnal vLelt to the capital city to attend tho Feast of Tao- ern.ac!es. At this point In John's uar- raUve we trust Insert the synoptic re- cord covering the later or third period of the Galilean ministry of Jesus, and also tete beginning of tho so-called Po - ratan ministry. The events of these perio L -u are recorded In Matt. 15. 21- 19. 2; Mark 7. 24-10. 1; Luke 9. 18- 10. 42, and several scattered references in Matthew. Among the most import- ant events of this period must be in- cluded the visit of Jcsuts to Tyre and Sidon, the healing of the blind man near 13ethLsaida, the transfiguration, tho sending forth of the seventy, the par- able of the good Samaritan end the visit of Jot is to Martha and Mary at Bethany. At the close of the dL oourso or Jesus recorded In John 7. 10-39, the Jewish officers sent to take him return- ed elnpLy•hand.sl and made their re. sort to the Sanhedrin. leaving Jesus unmolested. Then, after a brief inter- val, possibly an another day he again addresses the multitude, lhLs time tes- tifying of himself as to the source of truth and life, "the light of tho world." Again, shortly aflerwarvt, hie theme 'e spiritual freedom. Everywhere tho mulUtudos heard hint gladly, though thin tact only exeeperetet hLs opponents among the Jewell). officiary the more.

HUNGRY ENGLISH PUPILS DISTRESS REVEALED BY THE WORK OF SCHOOL BOARDS. Appeal issued in London for Fund to simply ilreakfasts to Under- fed Children. Tho most conspicuous appeal to charity during Christmas season was that issued by f)i).e London County Council asking for subscriptions to n fund for the purpose of feeding such et tete children in the schools under its control as are unable to obtain proper sustenance, writes a London correspon- dent. The appeal Ls signed by Lords Rosebery, Avebury and Rothschild and Mr. Balfour. These gentlemen ask for aid mainly on the ground that it is not expedient W put into force the education (feed- ing of children) act. This act is not compulsory, but permissive, and al. lows the local educational authority to levy a tax for this purpose equal to ane cent on each $4.80 of tete actual rental value of residential or btslncos property. Thus the occupant of a dwelling rented at .£100 would have to pay additional laxation of 11.01. The suer raised by this tax can only he used for the feeding of necessitous children. and the act provides for full Inquiry to be trade into the home cir- cumstances of children provided with meals and also gives permission to the authorities to prosecute parents, of the children fed if it is disooveresl that they nre able to provide food, but have failed In do so. Tho County Council ts.ued a form to the school manngere asking questions as follows: Are there any children in your de• partment who are unable by reason of lack of food to take full ndvantage of the education provided for them? \\'hat is the estimated number of children (nocessitous end others) for whom it is desirable that meals should le provided at certain periods during the year? •1'tse answers ret'eived were sen un• satisfactory That tho council has ap- pointed committees to dent with the matter. 1!p to date 353 commitlies have been appointed In the schools of the council and sixty in schools under the direction of religious bodkss. Those committees report every week on TiHE STATE OF Till; CHILDREN. An average report is that of the week ended November 9: No. of No. of Schools.

This motion was defeated by 5t votes to 40. The first appeal of the council for funds for this winter was issued through the press on November 5. The appeal asked for 172,000, but the sum realized amounted to only 1553, and up to tho third week in December it fell ?short of $9.600. An example of the fallen of this means of raising money is given in Bermondsey, a south London suburb. At Chaucer School after investigation 419 pupils were found to be in need of food. A funi was at once opened. 1t resulted in a sufficient sunt being raised to feed 148 children; but in three other schools to the borough, where the number of necessitous children was 108. 271 and 245, an appeal for help was in vain. IN THE BOROUGH OF HACKNEY. ar. East End district, over 1300 children are reported as starving and there are no funds In hand. The Salvation Army which last year supplied over 350,000 breakfasts to chil- dren at a charge of half a cent each. abandoned this side of their work among the poor on the passing of the act. Owing to the distress it has been compelled to resume the distribution of (hese meals. it has already opened dining rooms at Custom House, Bee ntondsey, Shoreditch, Canning Town, Sc,uthwark and South Lambeth. These are all poverty stricken districts. The army has issued an appeal for funds to supply the difference in the cost of these breakfasts and the charges made. These half cent breakfasts con- sist of a currant roll weighing six oun- ces and a mug of cocoa; the average cost 1.s two cents. The children pro- vide their own drinking vessels. These ccnssst of anything that will hold hot hocoa, ranging from a cup to a sardine can. Most of the great provincial towns have already adopted the act, but Leeds, which Is receiving considerable dona- tions from local philanthropists, has Op to the time of writing been able to ?supply an needed meals. I.iverpool has refereed to put the sat into force. Bradford has published the report of the medical superintendent of tbo schools, Dr. Crowley, and also gives the menu of tete breakfast and dinners supplied by its education committee. Breakfast consists of porridge with milk and molasses, followed by bread and margarine or dripping. Dinners con- sisted of two oourses, varying from day to day. A FEW SAMPLE DINNERS are given, the cost of which never ex- ceeded 3); cents and occasionally tell to 2 cents, Pen soup, jam rely poly pudding. Haricot soup with dumplings; Jam pudding.
