God raises no Moses to lean the Lsrattlites out of bondage. He is educated in Phar - Rolla court and then spends forty years iu Arabia, after 'which God calls him to deliver Ids people. Moses consents -with much reluctance, and God gives him his brother Aaron as his itemetant. Ten plagues are brought on the Egyptians aftex• which Pharaoh thrusts them out. At the Ohne of their departure the Paste over is instituted. The Israelites pass through the Red Sc. in safety, hat the Egyptians are drowned. Thus God de- livers his people. from, the imwer of their oppressors. Chronology. Abraham was born in Ur, 13, C. 1090. Abraham, was called the first time, D. 0, 1920. Abraham remained in Haran, D.

Mesopotamia, where Jacob fled,. 3. Egypt, where the nation was raised up. 4. .Arabia, the land to which Moses fled and where he received his call to deliver Israel. We have studied the lives and the characters of three great men: 1. Jaeoh. ri. man of prayer aed faith, who gained a signal victory and received a great blessing. 2. Joseph, a man ef integrity, who became great. 3. Moses. Study (1) the training, (2) the character, (3) the influene,e and power, and (4) the suc- ems of Moses. "God's people were, 1. Persecuted. In the person of Joseph by bis brothers. and later, in Egypt, the descendants of those same brothers hated and oppressed by the Egyptians. 2. Protected.

IL joseplo I. Sincerity, This is one of the most noticeable qualities of this unstained character. Ile may have erred in. telling so freely the dreams that he had, but if so lie did it out of Ins arts less shuplicity. One of bie brothers might have dreamed the same dreamt, and told them as freely as Joseph did but .Toseph would. have been tee sincere and innocent to be unfavorably affected by them. Men vary in sincerity eater - ally, but the impartation of divine grace - will nutke us all sincere. tl. Patience. The eonditione of life that Satan imposes upon us with a view to our destructiou will, through the power of divine grace aecording to our faith, work in us a degree of patience that will qualify us for lie's activities. 3. Honor. It was not Judah nor Simeon that attained to tumor in Pharaoh's court, but it was Joseph, their victim. The chartieter that joseph possessed would bring honor to him anywhere. Those who seek honor among men fail to secure the honor that cometh from God only. Those who honor God. with their thoughts, their words end their acts will receive honor from Him. Joseph took the course he did, not to secure the honor that came to him later, but because he chose to obey God. A heart that is reaching nut after Gotl will surely find him. When God changes one's name there is a significance in it. The evil designs of enemies often work in a direction opposite to the one intend- ed. Faithfulnees even in prison is not unappreciated. Man could ret so well have managed the affairs of Pharaoh and &Loeb as did God even against nuons evicts. No wrong against man is too great to be forgiven. Goa'e people fall into difficulties but he promises them grace to stand. God knew where to find the "proper child" to train for the pe- culiar service that was demanded. Tbere is safety in faith and obedienee. If we have God's presence with us we can at. tempt great things for Him. Tlad there been no oppraesion there could have been no deliverance. God permits Iris people to be brought into difficult pietas at time that Ete may show His love and power. Illustration. Prisons have been among the most pro- fitable plecee for God's people. Bunyan while in prison wrote his "Pilgrim's Pro. gress;" Samuel Rutherford used to date hie letters, "Christ's Palace, Aberdeen ja.il."-Illustrative Notes. A fine example of reverence for God is found in the conduct of a geeat scien- tist, as related by A. Hodge. Ile says: "When a boy in Princeton College it wis my inestimable privilege to be the pupihassietarit of Profestior Joseph Hen- ry, the illustrious Christian Scientiet, in his original experiments. When for the first time electric signals were sent from point to point, the earth itself being use4 for the reture eurrent, Professor /Ienry put me at one end of the eir- euit, while lie stood directing the experi- ments at the other.

Then he called upon me to uncover my head and worship in silence. 'Because,' lie *id, "God is here. I an about te ask Ged it question:" Practical Applications. Three names stand out prominently in the lessons of this quarter, and from their eheractere and acts seine practical trutht ftiay be drawn. L Jacob. 1. it warning. The condi. tion of Jacob on this journey was kought about by his selfish and deceit. fttl conduct toward his brother. Here is A picture of one, through divine pro. taise entitled to the blessings of a, frist- born, fleeing in fear from the one whom ha had wrongtd. lIe had introduced So much of human seherrting into the affair, that he eaves to feel its bitter effects; c v.bile if he had implicitly, trusted Gad, w III. Moses. 1. Preservation. From first to last Moses was the inan of the hour. It would be idle to attribute his being kept alive to accident. God's pro. vidence set a train of events in action that gave to Egypt and Israel a Moses. Pharaoh had one thing in mind in the training of Moses, but God had a, very different one. 2. Choice. He chose `-ra- ther to suffer affliction..,than to enjoy the pleasures of sin." We heve induce- ments presented to us again and again to be identified with the world. We have to choose between the reproach ol Christ and the pleasures of sin, between the joys of salvation and the empty joys of earth, between the riches of God's grace and the uncertain riches of this world. We are encouraged by the choice that Moses made to make a similar one. 3. Discipline. The choice was iinmediately followed by forty years of discipline. He was constantly comforted by the eon. scieusness of having made the right choice, and was in a position to endure the things that befell him . Moses at eighty was better fitted for leadership than MoBeamt forty. Ile who maintains his favor with God year in and year out is undergoing discipline, and is increasing i and ripening n Christian experience. D. S. W. SHE WANTS ALIMONY. DR. ACKLAND ORONHYATEKHA DE- FENDANT IN NEW YORK COURT. Former Wife, "Gaygengoran,"Stops Him on the Way to Europe With a Claim for Alimony -The Doctor Explains the Circumstances -The Case En. larged. According to the New York Sun, Dr, Ackland Oronhyatekha is being Noseeuted for abandonment by his former wife, Natalie Brand, in the New. York Court. The woman, whose tribal name is "Gaygengorah" (Fair Flower) wants alimony, and says she will be satisfied with $50 a week. Dr. Ackland Orme hystekha was on his way to join his second wife, formerly Miss Theresa Han- son, in Rotterdam. He showed his first cable steamship ticket and regretted that his arrest should postpone his trip, but was confident the Court would final- ly decide in his favor. The Sun says he claimed to have a divorce from Ms first wife. It was obtained in Dakota, but the complainant ie. Court said that if there was any divorce she didn't know anything about it, and that no papers had been served on her. That was why ehe made the complaint of abandonment on which the warrant was (*ranted The complainant said her husband went alone to Australia in 1002, and Ate remained in New York. He sent her money for her support for some time, but finally stopped the remittances. Then she got employment in business offices. Last Tuesday she was surprised to see her husband coming out of the Ashland House. She had just left her home at 274 Fourth axente. She has- tened to Court and got a warrant. The lawyers wanted time to prepare for the legal battle and asked that the case be postponed. • * THEIR NARROW ESCAPE, Lieut. -Gov. Dunsmuir's Yacht Took Fire at Sea. Vancouver, B.

Further progress was made in the diatribe - tion of spring merchandise this week, but the season is still very backward and much stock will be carried over. Confidence is not gen- erany shaken, although some evidences of caution followed the violent riee Itt prieeS ot wheat and frequent rumors of erop di asters. Latest reports indicate that. watm weather in some States and much needed rains in Other sections have given the tardy gram aud cotton A better start. Leading manu- facturing industries have not curtailed opera- tions. several advances IA wages have oc- curred, and there are nuraerous encottraging developments to offset elOw progree.s on the hums, including more prompt naereantile collections at many claw.

He was fishing out of a boat and his father, suspecting something wrong, went down to the water and found a coat and line in the boat, and the boy missing. Searchers pulled the body out a short time afterwarde. It seems that 'before the alarm was sounded the boy's mother became pos- sessed of the idea that something was wrong. Hurriedly securing it horse, sale drove to where she was aceustomed to meet the husband at the bank or ate stream, opposite where he worked in Drader's mill, and there saw the }march- ers pulling the body out of the water, The poor woman is prostrated. 4 • e; Cut Down on 'Track.

McKinley, the widow of President McKinley, fell into the sleep that knows no awakening. The transition ,froin life to death was so peaceful and gradual that it was with difficulty the vigilant physicians and at- tendants noted when dissolution came. There WAS no struggle, no pain. Mrs. MeWKinley • never knew of the efforts made for days to prolong her life, nor of the hope against hope of 'her sister and other relatives and friends that she might recover.

Savage Animal Escaped From Its Cage and Charged Into Crowd of Spec- tators -The Beast Finally Shot and Killed by a Spectator, Twin Falls, Idaho, May 26. -The fu- nerte of four-year-old Ruth Rosell, who was killed by a royal Bengal tiger, whica escaped from its cage at the per. fonnance of the Sells.Floto circus here yesterday afternoon, will be held on Tuesday. Mrs. Rosell, the mother of the child, who was knocked down end badly shaken by the tiger, is overcome with grief and the shock of her experi- ence. The tiger charged into the crowd, kill- ing the, little girl and a Shetland pony, and mauled several. other spectators and ponies before it was shot and killed by a man in the audience. For a few mo- ments there was a panic in the mena- gerie and women screamed and fainted. The elephants tugged at their chains and. trumpeted Wildly, and there was a great commotion until the tiger rolled over dead in front of the main entrance. Hundreds were iu the menagerie tent at the afternoon performance when the time came for feeding the animals. Mar- kel, the tiger, Red his mate, A.gnes, had been restless for some time. At the sight of the meat Markel beat furiously with his paws on the door of the cage. The door gave way and the tiger sprung from his cage to the back of it Shetland pony fifteen feet away. The tiger's keeper seized a bar and streck the animal between the eyes. 3.Tarkel released Ids grip on the pony's neck and leaped upon the back of -an- other pony. Again the keeper felled him with the iron, and be relinquished his hola of the second pony, only to seize it third. Another stiff blow front the iron drove the tiger from his prey, and he leaped into the crowd. Markel headed for the main entrance, forty feet, wildly. In his rush he struck several people with his shoulders, knoeking them down. Mrs. S. E. Resell, of Twin Falls, and liar little daughter Ruth could not es- cape' the tiger's rush, and were bortie to the ground. The tiger held Mrs. Resell with his paws, while his fangs sank into the neck of the child. J. Beli, a Twin Falls blacksmith, wa startling beside Mrs. Rosell, whert she was attacked. His wife and ehildren too were with him and at the mercy of the beast. Thrusting his family aside, Bell drew a revolver and opened fire on the tiger at a distance of three feet. When the first bullet struck Markel behind the shoulders, he winced and opened his jaws, growling viciously and lasbing his tail against the wall of spectators. The second bullet caused him to release Mrs. Roteh rola her daughter from the grasp of his paws, and the third put him on the rue. Mrs. Resell and her daughter were takee to the office of a physician, where everything possible was done for the child. It was found that the teeth of the tiger had frightfully lacerated the neek tied breast of the little one, and much blood was lost before the wounds cotild be closed. The little girl died two hours later, and Mrs. Rosell was removed to her home. Bella aim was good, as Was shown when the tiger was skinned and SiX wends, any one of which might have been fatal, were found in the carcase. -4..

FOURTEEN PEOPLE SAID TO HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES. Many Injured and Much Loss of Pro- perty -Use of Cyclone Cellars Alone IPrevented Appalling Loss of Life. Fort Worth, Texas, May 25,--A severe rain and electrical storm swept over northern Texas last night, causing much damage to property and some loss of life. At least three persons are known to have been killed by .lightning. Near Denton, eight members of the Wardlaw family were injured, one fatally, when the home was overturned by wind. Scores of barns and other small buildings were destroyed. The eastern portion of Willspoint was struck by a tornado, which cut a swath 200 yards wide, killingthree persons and injuring many others. The reason so few were killed is at- tributed to the timely use of storm cel- lars. In many cases'houses were torn to kindling wood, while the owners escaped harm in the cellars. Emory was circled by the tornado, and six persons were killed, while forty or fifty were injured. Every building on the county poor farm was demolished, as well as several reeidences. Tim greatest destruction, however, occurred in the negro settlement. Many of those injured may die. At Gribble 'Springs two persons were killed and it score or more injured. EXCHANGE OF TEACHERS. Question of Reciprocity Raised at Federal Conference, London, May 26. -Lord Meath presided at the meeting of the Federal Educa- tion Conference on Saturday. Speaking on the question of the exchange of teach- rs, Inspector J. L. llughes, of Toronto, said he hoped educationists would set an example of unity to the empire. In Canada they were going to keep on rap- ping at the door, which was dosed, and were going to oil the hinges so that it wouldopen by -and -bye. 31r. W. L. Grant, of Nova Scotia, thought the best teachers might be given an opportunity to travel as it reward for good work. Mr. Barnett, a member of the Board of a.1 Education, said the board wits prepared eonsider it practical scheme for a com- mon certificate, and it was decided to ap- point a, committee to draft a scheme for the interchange of teaehers and to con- sider the question of the mutual recog- nition of certificates, The resolution was confirmed at the afternoon meeting, when Prof, Sadler estimated the cost of exchanging it total of 300 teachers yearly at X13,000. 4.0.
