Several rear sons have been presented why Elijah rqxtested Elisha to tarry at Gilgal. 1. His humility led him to avoid publi- city- while that great honor was beiug bestowed, 2. His leve for solitude as- serted itself in view of this, the meet momentous event in his life. 3. He wished to Snare Elisha the sight of his departure from earth. 4. He desir- ed to test Elisha's devotion to him and to the work in which he was engaged. The first and the last of these views seem the most reasonable. 3. Knowest thou -The "sons of the prophets" knew what the day would Oring forth, probably by a direct re- velation to them, for it is not likely that Elijah had told them of his ap- proaching departure. Front thy head -Recognizing that Elijah was the chief of the Prophets, they must have considered it a serlaus thing for him to be removed when the worship and service of the God of Israel were greatly neglected and idolatry was valent, Yea. I know it; hold ye your peace -This knowledge brought with it a sadness and a sense ofsthe res- Ponsibility that must rest upon him, that made him feel that the subject was too sacred for discussion. 4. Jeri- cho -About twelve miles southeast 01 Bethel in the valley of the Jordan. Here also was a school of the pro- phets. These schools were places where young men were trained, under the direction of a recognized prophet, for religious service. They were not necessarily the eons of prophets. Their study was principally the law of Moses. Elijah was evidently making a farewell visit to the "sons of the pro- phets" at Gligal, Belle" and Jericho. 6. The Lord hath sent me to Jordan -The journey was toward the place from which he was to be taken up to heaven. It led from Gilgal to Bethel, to Jericho, to jordan, and beyond. Ell - proved his devotion and fidelity by not allowing himeelf to be separated from Elijah. 7. l'afty men .... stoed to view afar off- There was intense interest in what was soon to take place. Stood by Jordan -Evidently it was not at a fording -place. e. Elijah took his man- tle -it was doubtless of undressed shill, and the symbol of his office, which he had worn for years.

Tbe parting meant most to him, lie was to continue tbe struggle of life. He was to stand be- fore wicked kings and ungodly men as the meeseuger of God. The change which passed over Elijah which eul- minuted in his reception into the in- visible world is incomprehensible to vs. We regard the, entire event as a singular honor placed upon a singu- larly great and good Man. it is an assured fact that God directed in the matter of closing a career which he had so perfectly controlled. Ellijahis movements were directed by theamirit of the Lord even to the last, He moved in sublime '• calmness to the most Solemn crisis, ever thoughtful of the intereete of others. His lifelong obedience and fidelity to God and zea) tor hie name, made him learlese whet) he approached the close et life. With him there was on murmur, ao unwill- ingness to depart, no shrinking from entrance into the unseen world. He was fully prepared for translation. IL 'ensile appointed to service, The great respcnsibilay which was to fall upOn lelisha en the departure of Elijah was the matter which weighed upon the mind ef the former as the two traveled together. His master had dieplayed a spirit of fidelity to duty, ef faithfulness in rebuking sin, of feerleesness and courage in the pre- sence of danger and also of marked tenderness and love. Elijah's sugges- t= that hlisha tarry drew out the qualities at his nature which proved him capable cf receiving the answer to his request. it was no vain cur- iosity which prompted hlisha to go with Elijah. He had a correct per- ception of real worth with true aspir- ation after it. Admiration, rever- ence and devotion mingled in Elisha's love for Elijah. Ho Made the wisest choice that ,could have been made in view of his future life -work. As lehjah was taken trom Elishe's experi- ence was similar to that of Isaiah when he received his prophetic call. Hitherto he had looked to his Pro- phetic master for direction and en- couragement. Here his eyes were fixed upon the embattled might of Je- hovah. He was eonscious that the place was filled with God's presence. His view of the situation was unsel- fish and patriotic. Ihe falling man- tle was a symbol of tha transference of Elijah's unfinished tasks as well as an indication of Elisha's appointment as his successor. Mishit was assured by this token that his request was granted. His prayer-lor spiritual en- dowment for his work was answered. His importunity had prevailed, He had witnessed the departure of Elijah and recognized the hand of God in his translation. A vital faithiin the pre- sence and power of God in the world was begotten. That faith had sus - Wiled Elijah in ali his' service. It should also become an anchor to El- isha. In the school of prophets with Elisha as their head, the influence of Elijah would be perpetuated. Through the young men the vital life of godli- ness should be kept alive in the world. 'the theceraey which Elijah had founded, regardless of Ahab and Jezebel, could be perpetuated through the schools of prophets. Elijah had wcrked with a view to the future con. tinuance et true riety in the world. Thcugh the nation should continue in its tolerance ef idolatry, and though it sheuld at last go lens captivity, there ehould be a bedy of faithful witnesses through whom God weuld declare His love and mercy, and through whom He could warn and admonish his people.

Vienna, Oct. 4, via London -The Neues Wiener Journal has a report from Sofia that Albanian troop s have occupied Elbassan, 64 miles southeast or Scutari, after defeating forces un- der Essad Pasha. The reference- to Albanian troops is somewhat difficult of explanation, az there is no established Albanian, Gov- ernment, although Haiti virtually has claimed central of the country since the war began, Previous despatches have reported that forces ender the command of Essad Pasha, former pro- visional, President 'of Albania, were figlaing with lifirditee,members of an Albanian tribe. It is possible the Mir- dites may be the troops who have oc- cupied Elbassian. SLEW 46 NUNS Awful Work of Anna in Bombard- ing a Hospital. London, Oct. 4.-A Petrograd de- spatch to Iteuters Telegram cent- pany says that the RuSsian Red Cross Society has publiehed a list of forty- six Sisters of Mercy who perished in the bombardmeht of a hospital by the Austrians and Germans. The Germans have constructed huge railway workshops at WirbaIlen, where they are employing French and ticiglan prisollere, the despatch con- tinues. Nine thousand Atistrian rea- mers, including 185 offieers, belong- ing to five Hungarreds . and Heaved regiments, have arrived at Kiev. These regiments had entrenched themselves in the hille near the celebrated Pet- chaeff mOnastery, in Voillynia, but were cleverly outflanked by the Mis- states. Their desperate efforts to M- ule° wero feestrated by the terrible Ituesien fire, and finally they were forced to surrender.

He placed himself irrevocably on record as opposed to militarism and every- thing in connection with it, particular- ly preparedness. "I tell you now," he .saici, "and I mean every word I say, that I would willingly, gladly give every cent, every dollar I possess in the world if I could put art ed -to title awful ear - nage." "I should not in any sense of the word be considered as pro -German for anything I may have said In con- nection with the war loan. I am only a plain Araericari citizen and trying by utmost to follow President Wilson's neutrality proclamation. While I do not besitate to declare I was and am still averse to the loan, my only rea- son for this etand is, that I believe it violates the neutrality we, as Ameri- cans, should try to observe." - Speaking of the fiction of Toronto civicsofficials in their decision to make no further purchases of Ford automobiles., the automobile manufac- turer said he believed they should have waited to learn the truth 'before tak- ing such action. in closing the interview, leir.
