When the time came to utter the word of the Lord in the Cull maturity of His powers and to take the leatlershla of the nation, Samuel stood result'. Penetrating to the deepest source of their defeat; Samuel placed the recog- nition of Jehovah at the basis of ,all national reform, He addressed all the tribes with a voice of moral author- ity that recalled the admonitions of Moses and the last words of Joshua. Samuel had Coro of will to resist the tide of evil and to aid it recede, He distinctly (*Imaged the house of Israel with haying gone *Wray from the liv- ing 000,epteiridbletry was not a mere fancy lior a mere selfish indulgence. It Was an insult, a dishonor to their Ciod. Therefore Samuel's first great act as prophet -judge was to call the people to a thoroegb religious and moral cleansing, embracing purity ot - heart, lemperence In spirit, cltastitY Of body and righteousness one toward another. The steps leading to this must be a hearty renunciation of all idols, the confession of sin in humili- ation of spirit and by epecial prayer. Rennnelation of sin combined with positive acts of obedience Was the or- der of things, Upon their sincere re- pentance a new order began, Nation- al repentance .was followed by a na- tional assembly. A most • important Part of the prophetic office was te maintain the spiritual character at the Hebrew worship, •and .to prevent degeneracy or the people into ritual- ism. Israel's experience of defeat and oimression bad taught them their own weakness and cured their presumption. Their urgent request of Samuel foe prayer in their behalf was 'ap evidence of their reliance on Jehovah, Where Israci experiencea an overwheardog defeat twenty years before, they now gained aesignal victory and were re- stored from apostasy. That victory was achieved at the throne of grace by Samuel's interceasion. He was the means of Israel's help, As snit as the . lamb woo elitto the blessing began to descend upon. Israel and the entse ups on their fens.

Around Mesa- labroch the Russians are reported to be SlICeesSfully holding their posi- tions, and at several points to have repulsed the Germans. The German advance from East Prussia upon the Towns of Kovao and Grodno appears designed to out the railroad communications to War - sew rather than to an effort to take ttehreritursy.stan fortified positions in that Along the Plock -to -Niemen line, which is a little short or 200 miles in length, there has beet intermittent fightitg.

To this an emphatic dental is meets in the 'debt statement, it declaring the enemy was literally driven out of his positions at that point. The score of an allied offensive has been measured on every occasion by the strength of the counter attacks with which the Germans have replied. The enemy's efforts yesterday and to- day show that the recent progress of the allies has been most decidea, fee the Germans have launched aseault after assault In a vain effort to eti- eeeer the grouna they hay% lost. SANGUINARY 13AYON1IT CHARGES. The fighting has been unusttally violent, particularly in Chainpagne, along the front of &Main, Iterates and Beausejour. There the Germans made tremendous efforts to recapture the treuches taken from ahem on treb. 16, and were not repulsed until the French infantry soarmed from their positions in an irresistible and san- guinary bayonet attack.

It is not censidered that Germany's response is a satisfactory answer to American demands for assurances re- garding the safety of American ships and lives. The suggestion of a convoy is ridiculed for the reason that neither Germany nor the conyoying is ridicul- ed for the reason that neither Germany now the convoying warships can ob- tain safety front floating mines for American merchant steamers. In fact, the convoys themselves would be Im- periled, for under no circumstances could the Germans furnish guides through the mined areas.
