Bally, of Toronto, n thn Denartment of Agriculture, Ottexa ) A despatch from Los Angeles eaysi Bev. Frank Do Witt Talmage preach- ed from the following text; :-Judges ix, 14, "Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Conie, thou, and reign over us." Thai Commie parable or fable of Jothant was truly realistic in mere ways than one. For a convention al trees It had a perfect. topographic setting. On tho southern side of this famous valley is mighty Mount GeriKim. On 110 .northern side hoary headed illount Ebal lifts Its seared and wrinkled face. These two moun- tains as sounding hoards tossed the echoing; voices of tho cheering dele- gates backward and forward, even as the shuttlecock might be thrown through the nit by the powerful blows of two hattlettoors. The soli of that valley was black and rich. Tliere the guegling waters of many l'ountains Sounded a musical accom- Pattiment to the murmuring: of many Voices trying to win votes for their favorite Sons. Isaiah, in prophecy, new "all the trees of the fields elap their hands." ,Totham, In vision, 0aw the trees, as convention dele- gates, with moving hands, moving foot, moving lips end oparkling eyes. Theie rustle was to hint articulate speech. Their branches were out- stretched arms. Their namos were symbols to him of honor and truth or of dishonor and disgrace. Hardly had this great convention of trees asseniblecl in the valley or Sheehorn to select a king than it be- came self evident that the great ma- jority of the delegates were rody to be stampeded for one tee°. "Como," the majority cried, "come, let us make the olive tree our king!" To Jotham the olive was the &symbol of strength and wealth and power as well as of healing. But the olive tree would not become king. It de- clined the scepter of kingebip over the trees. Then this. great. conven- tion wanted to elect the fig tree king. The delegaine next offered the nomination for rulership to the vine, whose rich blood had made the vine- yards of Shechem famous. Ilut the fig tree and the vine both refused the scepter of the forest. THE /3AD ELEMENTS GOT CON- TROL. But In this Jothran parable, after the cilive and tho fig aud vine had ell refused the scepter, the worst ele- ments. got control of tlie convention hall. Then these bad elements said to each other : "Let. us nominatea king after our own spirit. Let us melee the cuese of the field our king. Hail, bremble! King Bramble! Hail, bramble, our future rulerl'' Jotham's purpose in this parnble was to show a danger which menaced his own country and has menaced our country all through ito history. Thore have been in the past, us thine are to -day, men who censpire to got control of tho. political parties 111 or - dee teat they may nominate men utterly until; for the high office of the presidency of the United States, Thank God, they have not succeeded yet, for the men who have been nom - elated by the varioes !tartlets are men of higli character and sterling worth. But: we need to bo on our guard against tho conspirators, who Will will never masa their etforte to wi11 tlicut great prize. Let, es iden- tify 'them, that we May sedulously pmand against: thole insidious at' tacke. Now, for my part, While T hold that denominationalism ought never to be taught in a stale institution, I contend that no youlig 111011 is pro- perly educated who bus not been made familiar with the Iiible and its religious and morel principles. 1 chitin •that LIS educated men aad WO - mon it is just as important to know who were Moses and Joshua nerl David its who were Shakespeare and Berns and -Walter Seott and Goethe and 'Victor 'Hugo. I claim that it is snore important educationally to know who Jesus Christ is than who Illohaattned WAS and what was the cause of the Trojan war, If the atheistic elements of this country aro not trying to gat poeseseion or this goveenment, why did certain in- fidel newspapera a. few years ago de- nounce the presidentiel act or taking the oath of office upon the leaves of am open 1311)10? They claimed that, "as the government had no estab- lished church, therefore the president elect had 111 right. to render elle- gimlet) to any one partieular Men who ',write sophistries of this kind are eneeden whom WO cannot afrord to deride.

I would like, If there lied bean time enough, to have spoken of ane other form of evil threatening this land and bidding for kingship. 1 al- lude to the bramble of licentiousness or of immortelity. I know that most people will lift their hands in horror as I speak and say, "Why, there is no danger like that threat- ening usl" Yes, there is, my friends, When an honest man is elected to the highest executive offire of a city he finds out, much to surprise. he cannot shut up the bro- thels as he would. lie e1110101 stop the immoral evils of the low dance halls. leverywhere our cities aro honeycombed with vice, merely be- cause the voters at the polls back up dishonest officials in their wil- lingness to allow these evil resorts to exist. I have spohen only the sober truth when 1 have warned yoa that bramble atheism, bramble gold, bramble alcoholism and. bramble li- centiousness, the four great evil forms of the would bo bramble king, are trying to take possession of our American liberties and throttle out their life. Thus jothrim's fable or perable teaches Us that a rnan has a respon- sibility to those Nieto shall rule over hira as well as to those under him. 13y this statement am I here to tell you for whom to vote? Oh, not I would speak to you just as that great man Andrew Jackson said to that groat future statesman, Richard Tbompson of Indiana, when a young boy •he went with his fatber to call tEpon the president. After a short conversation Richard Thompson's fa- ther thcatod and said: "IVfr. President Illy 8031 Dick is not of my political faith. I fear he is going to vote against you in the next election," Instead of upbraiding the son, "Old Hickory" turned and said: "Young man, I 'have no advice to give you except this: 'Always think for your- self and let your conscience be your guide,' " So in the coming election I say to you, "As a Ohristian man think for yourself and let your -con- science be your guide." But hereaf- ter, in the home or on tho street and ia church, always make your public business your Christian business. Al- ways make your ditty to your city, to your state, to your nation, your Christian duty.

Anar- chy in its resistance of God always ultimately means anarchy in resis- tance to human authority. I was never more impressed with the; thought than when nom years ago from a noted atheistic as well as anarchistic. paper I cut out the full developed polsonoun results of those two nccursed doetriees. Like Siamese twine, these two words, atheism and anarchy, in their ulti- mate meaning should never be separ- ated. This was the editorial I found in that famous sheet : '"ehis is our doctrine : We believe in no divine government. Might only is right. The only rentedy for wrongs th but- chery,. The tree of liberty bears fruit only when inanured with the bones of fat usurers, insolent des- pots, perfidious politicians and black- legs generally. lf squatters oppress you, plant rackarack for theie bug- gies; also fire low and lay them out.

Use bullets, steel, melinlle, kerosene, phosphorus, nre sticks, torpedoes, lithofractour, poison, blasting pow- der, bombshells -any weapon you can get hold of. Mao you must steal like Spartans thinic like heroes and lie Bice hell." Such is the full ;grown, poisonous plant which the soil and seed of atheism will ulti- mately produce if left, alone. Ah, niy follow eountrymen in the conven- tion hall of the American peoPlo, fight this foo miscalled "free thought" as you would fight death. ilriVo Clod away from your land, and you Mord over this government to bo the plaything: of anarchists, the sport of nihilists.

'When Joseph was told to take Mary: and the child Jesus and go down. to Egypt, the command was, "13o thou there until I bring thee word," and the same messenger brought him word when It was time for hini to leave Egyfint. God was managing; Joseph had only to 011ey (Matt. ii, 13, 20). Turning from Elijah for a moment, we learn that Ahab hail as ruler of his honse a God fearing man nstmod Obadiah, who, as his name implies (servant of Jehovah), served the Lord in that ungodly house, remind- ing as of Joseph in Egypt rind Dan- iel. in Babylon and suggesting to us that it is possible to serve the Lord under any circumstances in which He may permet us to be placed. About the time that the Lord sent Elijah to meet Ahab both Ahab and Obadiah started forth, Alfab going one way by himself and Obadiah an- other way by himself (verse (3), to see if they could find water rindlerass to save the horses and mules alive. Elijah met Obadiah cold said to him, "Gio tell thy Lord, Behold, Elijah is here" (ve(se 8). Obadiah replied that it was as much as his life was worth to do such a thing, inasninch as Ahab haa calomel search to be made for Elijah everywhere end had taken an oath of every kingdom and nation that they could not find him (ve(ses 9-14). Although Obadiah feared the Lord and was bravo enough to risk the vengeance Of Jezebel when he saved alive a hentired of the Lord's prophets by 'hiding them ill caves at the -Lime that she attempted to kill them all, yet he feared death, for note his threefold, "Ho ev•ill slay me" (verses 9, 12, 14).

Tbore are still many believ- ers who are all their lifetime subject to bondage througlt fear of death. but there is no need of it, for Ito is able to deliver from all such feat's. Elijah's reply to Olindith's fears was, "As the 'Lord of hosts liveth before whom. I stand, 3 will euroly show resseelf unto Min this elay" (verse 5).
