Another General Election Before Coming Session of Legislature. 'Vancouver, B.C., Oct. is a set- tled fact that there Will be a general election in the province before the coming eessioe of. the Legislature is far advanced. The Seinlin Government proposes to break loose from many recognized rules of political warfare. It will do no jug- gling to secure a majority in the House, not even to the extent of electing a Speaker froze the ranks of the enemy or from those who might offer as oondition • al supporters. The Government will make no bid for any Opposition or doubtful candidates' support. • It wfil eeleat a Speaker from its own avowed following. By so doing it will be left in a nainority ef one in the louse'ana au appeal to the country will soon foliow. The Govern- ment invites the appeal, and the result, its supporters ere confident, will justify fair and straightforward dealing in Brit- ish Columbia polities.

".And jehosapbat, hie on, reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel." Israel, or the ten tribes, had proved themselves to be the commies ot God, and to steed. with God means to steed against His (monies (Jas. iv, 4), How great the ontrast in cbapter xviii, 1, whore we see Jebotaphat toining affin- with Ahab, the king of Israel, and thus ). neceesitating the rebuke of the Lord in chapter xix, 2, "Sheitiziest time help the I ungodly arid love them time bate the 1 Lordf" To be for God at all times and! under all eintunistances is a rare thing 1 and is seen perfectly only in the Lord Jo- susC`laAlti 2.'he placed forcein all the feneed cities of Judah." Every king was king for tee Lord (11 Cbron. ix, 8), and bis strength Was to be in tbe Lord and not in berme and chariots (i)out, xvti, 16). When we put our trust Jet things visible, we ere apt to, cease to seQ and, role neon God (e'er. xvii, 5). This is a constant temptation and a snare. Tbe Lord 'soften proving us as He did Philip, and we, like Philip, venture to suggest to Rim bow it might be done, hut all the while Re HIM - self knows wbat lie will do (John vi, 6-7). When we obediently and trustfully, under God's guidance, melte ordinary Provision, all is vrell, The difficult)* is when we cease to see God. 3. "And the Lord was with Jehosaphat," This Is the secret of all blessing. The Lord was with Joseph (Gen xxxis, 0, 8, 21, 23). The Lord was with David (II Um. v. 10). Ms comfort to Moses, Joshua, Old- s= and Jeremiah wes the assurance that Be was with them (Ex, iii, 12; Josh. 1, 5; Judg. Ye 15; jer, 1, 8), So when the Lord .Tosus sent His followere into ell the world the greatest encouragement Re could rive them was Ills assurance: 6'101 power is gifen unto Me in heaven and on earth. Go ye, therefore, and, lo, I am with 7004t1417 =1 071,eit18o even the end the elle" 04 4. "lie sought to the Lord Ood of bis father and walked in Ries eammand- rnents." It is written of 'Zacharias and Elizabeth that they were both righteous! before God, walking in all tee command - mots and ordinances of the Lord blame- its:t they w (Luke 1, ebaoede kel Israel e t Ris covenant, they would be a peculiar treasure unto Hint above all people (Ex. xix, 5), and iu Titus ii, 14 (R. T.), it is written tbut ilo gave Hiniself for us to redeem us from all iniquity and purify unto Himself a people for His own posses, sion, zealous of good works. 5. "Therefore the Lord stablished the kingdom in his band." Joshua was told that if be would observe to do according to all the law, Ids Way Would be prosper- ous aud lie would bevel good success (jostma i, 7, 8). In 11 Chron. xx, 20, Johoshaphat Is heard saying to the people, "Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye bo estab- lished," and in Ise, vii, 9, is the contrast, "If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established." in Cod and in His word Is the only establishment, for all else shall be shaken. Wherefore we receiving a king- dom which cannot, be shuken let us have grace wbereby we may serve God accept- ably with reverence and godly fear, for our God Is a constuning lire (Bele ail, 28, 29). 6. "And Ids heart was lifted up in tbe ways of the Lord." Tim margin says that ho was encouraged in the ways of the Lord; those who seek to walk in the way of the Lord shall not hick encouragement to contieue therein. There will be many o hpngui oneepaed foe ne op impose to lead Cs iu RI'S way (Ruth ii, 16). They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with Wings as eagles (Isa. xl, 31). The way of the Lord was so attractive and enjoyable that the way of the world and the devil became distasteful and tee high places and groves were taken away. We cannot walk with God unless we bumble ourselves so to do and make up our minds to be agreed wtth Him (Mb. vi, 8; Amos iii, 3). 7. "Also in the third year of bis reign he sent to bis princes to teach in the cities of Judah." What a suggestive foresbadow- ing of the time when "A king shall reign in righteousness and princes shall rule in judgment, and the work cff righteousness shall be peace, and the effect of righteous- ness, quietness and assurance forever" (Isa. xxxii, 1, 17). There cannot be any- thing more important than that nien should know the Lord and His ways, and wben kings and princes take up this as their mission, the kingdom will either have come or be very near. Just now our government has given $50,000,000 for de- fense, for the purchase or manufacture of warships or war material, but was it ever heard that any government ever gave even $1,000,000 to make known the living God? 8. "And with them Levites and priests." The priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth, for be is the niessenger of the Loth of bots (Mal. II, 7). Their calling is sim- ply set forth in II Obron. xxix, 11, in these words, "My sons, be nonnow negli- gent, for the Lord bath chosen you to stand before Ilim to senve Him and that ye sbould minister unto Him and burn in- cense." Priests, prophets and kings were to recognize God alone as their lelaser and live oniy nnte Hine 9. "And they taught in Judah and had the book of the law of tho Lord with them and went about throughout all the cities of Judah and taught the people." There is nothing on earth so heavenly as the 'Word of God. It is all "true from the he• ginning" and "foreeer settled itt heaven'. (Ps. exix, 89, 160). We are to receive ii meekly, hold it fast, rightly divide it and hole it forth, for itis an engrafted word, a faithful word, a word of truth and a word of life (Jas. 1, 21; Titus i, 9; II Tim. ii, 15; Phil, ii, 16). If all ministers and teachers taught only the Word of God and honored it as the Word of God, how much Ill di% would be aecOmplithed for Goal Bet wimp those who profess to be its friends dishonor and even set aside many portions of it what shall we say? • Just this, "Fom. eraenrv,0. r Lord, thy word is settled in h • 10, "And the fear of the Lord fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were mend about Judah," There was no war. Other nations brought presents and trib- ute. and aelaosapbat waxed great exceed- ingly (v eeses 11, 12). The remaining verses of the chapter tell that his army was 1,160,000, but the very next chapter tells • of his dewnfall. tleziah was marvelously helped till he was strong, but his strength was his weakness and the cause of his fall (II Chron. xxvi, 15, 16). Our maly strength Is in the Iserd. Be strong in the Lord and In tin power of His might. WHEAT WEAK. CoatInued Large -Receipts and Reports of Freer Movement From Bessie Bred tbe alarbet-The nriees.

The only young woman nurse to go inta Santiago direetly after its capture who was net a trained nurse and not an im- mune was Miss Annie L. Wheeler, daugh- ter of "Figbting Joe." Bravo and bowio was the work Miss Wheeler did there, faz- ing yellow fever and other forms of dis- ease. When the troops came north, she went along with them, busier than ever on the sick laden transports.
