Some Democratic Thoughts. THE SUIDH SCHOOL Lesson XII. Second Quarter For June 23, 1907. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Ttxt of the Lesson, a Comprehensive Quarterly Review Golden Text, Isa. xliii, 2 Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Copyright, 1907, by American Trem AaociitioB.) Lesson I. Jucob's vision and God's promise (Gen. xxviii, 1-5, 10-22). Gold en Text, Gen. xxvlii, 15, "Behold, I am with tbee and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest" How glo riously the love of God is revealed In this marvelous record of au opened heaven to a penitent sinner, with such promises as should have comforted him In all his future life! Then think of the far reach of this vision, iu the future fulfillment of which we as be lievers shall have a part (John I. 51). Lesson II. God gives Jacob u new name (Gen. xxxii, 0-12. 22-30). Golden Text. Luke x, 20, "Rejoice, because your names are written in heaven." In the first part of Uiis lessou Jacob hum bly confesses his unwortliluess and pleads the promises of God. Iu the second part God deals specially with Mm and breaks him down in such a i way that lie would be always con- I Hcions of it in order that He might j bless him. and sinful Jacob becomes j I'rince Israel, having power with God j i.ud man. Li:sos III. Joseph sold by his broth- j ers i.Grn. xxxvii, .". -2Si. Golden Text, ,Tas. iii. Id, "Tor where envying and I strife is tin-re is confusion and every evil work." l-'or a tale of heartless cru- i lty tliis has rarely been surpassed. ! iind yet the time came when the suffer- er, looking back, rmilil say, "God meant j it tint i good" 1 1. I'iii. Hated and envied and s cr'.:i-lly ill treated, Joseph is woiide: fully ty.:e;,l of Christ, and as ; truly i,s all his dreams were fulfilled j so shall it be with all the predictions OlieeI'Iiing our Lord .lesus. Lksso.n I V. .Iis( -ph faithful in prison , (Gen. xxxix. 20. to xl. l.'i. Golden Text, Itev. ii. Id. -lie thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." Chapter xxxix describes a man sold into slavery and afterward wrongfully accused and unjustly Imprisoned as a prosperous man because the Lord was with him. Note the five times "all that he had" of Potiphar in Joseph's band. Lesson V. Joseph the wise ruler in Egypt (Gen. xll, 38-49). Golden Text Jas. i. 5, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God." Joseph as a pris oner, interpreting the dreams of his fellow prisoners, was preparing the way for his exaltation, aud, though for gotten by the chief butler for two years, he was not forgotten by God for a moment. Lesson VI. Joseph forgives his brothers (Gen. xlv, 1-15; 1, 15-21). Gold en Text Eph. iv, 32, "Be ye kind one to another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." The literal fulfillment of Joseph's dreams, the brothers' remembrance of their guilt and conviction of their sin, their full forgiveness by Joseph and bis kind care of them, all point to Israel's peni tence and forgiveness as a nation iu the future. "God will surely visit you" Is still true of them (1, 24). Lesson VII. Israel enslaved In Egypt (Ex. 1. 1-14 f. Golden Text. Ts. evil, 13, "Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses." It Is written In Amos iii, 7, that what the Lord Intends to do He always tells His servants the prophets, and in Gen. xv He told Abraham about this bondage Into which his posterity should come, but He also told him of their deliver ance In due time. Lesson VIII. Childhood and educa tion of Moses (Ex. 11, 1-15). Goldeu Text .Acts vll. 22, "Moses was learned In all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was mighty in words and in deed.'" In ail the Scriptures we see God work ing out His eternal purpose, nud here He is preparing HIr deliverer for Is rael. Trace the hand of God In all the events of this chapter and believe that the same God ( fashioning your life if you are Ilia redeemed one (Eph. ii, 10). Lesson IX-Moses called to deliver Israel (Ex. Ill, 1-14). Goldeu Text, Ex. ill, 12, "And ne said. Certainly I will be with tbee." Moses, finding a wife by a well, like Isaac and Jacob, is one a the ntoat suggestive studies for anointed eyes and ears. The forty years at God's school In the desert fol lowing the forty years' studies In the Jchoola of Egypt suggest how much the nan of God must unlearn If be has 'been filled with the wisdom of this world. Lesson X. The Passover (Ex. xil. 21-30). Golden Text, Ex. xil, 13, "When I see the blood I will pass over you." During the plagues upon Egypt Is rael bad been protected, and now In thla last plague of death the deliver ance if remarkable Illustration of our deliver from eternal death by the blood of the Lamb of God. The blood baring been thed does not avail un less we art under its protection, but when we fpilf receive Christ It Is no longer a f t(on of what we are, but or whM it is. Les)04 XI. Israel's escape from Egypt "jUGa, xlr, 13-27). Golden Text Ex. xlr, SO. "Thus the Lord saved Is Tf w! Ohat day out of the hand of the i:2SfWaafl. and Israel saw the Egyp aVdtaad upoa the seashore." Egypt repeated having let Israel go and sought again to capture them, but whom the Lord redeems He cares for. and ao He fought for Israel and slew their enemies. TUe friends of Senator Daniel of Virjtini., sre pushing his caudulucy tor the Democratic nomination for president with a z?al that leu to a curious complication at Norfolk, Va. Congressman Lassiteriti introducing Mr. Bryan as tbe speaker of the day caused a sensation by suggest ing Senator Daniel for the Presi dency and called on Mr. Bryan to second his nomination. In reply Mr. Bryan said: 'I don't know whether my good friend expected me to use this occa sion to join in the nomination of the candidate for President or not: I will say this that I join v.ith him in tbe admiration he has expressed for Virginia's givat son aud states man. And 1 have said time and time aeain that section should not control the selection of o n- candi dates." Comment in the Southern news papers takes a ver sensible viw of the conditions necessary for the nomination f such i-amlalates for president a? SVnutur Daniel of Vir ginia, Governor Hoke Smith, of Georgia ;;ih1 several others who have heen urged for iiominarion by the DeiiKiera'.s. "When it is i-er-tainlv drsir.il!'.'," savs tin- Augusta Chronicle, "tsiat a rvKitnen, niaii be male President, 'nr n'lj-vi must lie ace ui,p'i!n i a'.o:i'.' n,i'ii a tiiciv gecgoii; hi'-..! iii-cu!-.-!.: of l!.t!i. l'r the voter.--if r." cou vy to :,.-: the-,- haP- ! foi a cur.didu'e nim-'y beC:iiise he is a Souther :er wouU tie is insatie a? Southern people cas'it!r theirs against the candidate simply :ic(,n;S" he hails from New Yotk or M'Kt'lAL C OKRIPOIr.Ci:. any other Northern State. What Democrats want is a candidate that, can win, and the best display of Americanism they can make, will ! to unite iu supporting such a man." The papers North and South are teeming with comment favorable on Senator Daniel as an available can didate for President. Personal opin ion has also been very geneially ' t noted on the same subject of which I the statement of Forresc V. Brown, a prominent lawyer of Charleston, j W. Ta., is a fair sample: " The St-n atou can have the delegation front West Virginia any time he wants it, for West Virginia is iu the South i again, as far as its realization that j Senator Daniel would make an ad miral candidate is concerned. If nominated, he would run very strong in the State, for he is regaided as a , clfun and able man and a repieseut ative of both th old and new South, lie would run strong in my patt i f the State. We should like to see Senator Daniel nominated for th Presidency and the tariff revised." Tho.-e who expect the Republicans iva!ly intend to reform th'.- tariff should take heed of the declai'UMon of Speaker Cannon that the coming ' :!. jr-ss ah? elected on the platform of " i'-t well enough alone." Asl'n .!e i ii prohablv be reelected Quaker ai'il inns again boss the rep !vser,ta'iv", the standpatters will have the inside track and icforu; till be po.-tjioncd unt 1 V'eT, then tee Democrats control Uonsr-t sc. i'he -1 stion whether loin Law son has made peace with the "Fren zied Financiers" is not so much in doubt since hv has declared "that Mr. Roosevelt is absolutely sure," of being, "the next President of the United States." That is the posi tion of nearly all the frenzied finan cieis for they have taken the Presi dent at his own word to Mr. Ilarri nian as being a "practical" politi cian. Practical politics makes all Republicans look alike to most of us. The first test of the power of the Interstate Commerce Commission to control railroad rates under the new law has been decided in favor of the i t commission by the U. S. Supreme J Court. The case involved an advance in rates on lumber from the South to Ohio river points, and the Com- j mission issued orders foi bidding the. enforcements of the advanced rates, : which the Court ba9 now decided ! , were unreasonable. ! How can the tariff which protects , ! the ti lists be "revised dovn by its I fiiendt?" The principal friends of ; I the tariff a.e the trusts and fie Re- . publican politicians, who participate j in the plunder though fat fried j from the trusts aud protectid inter- ' ests. ! The New York Jonrual tf Com merce asks ?,who pays the railroad peualties?" Well, we should guess ; ihut everyone pnys his share, from ' Iddy to a tramp, who eats, dr'tiks, : or wears, anything that is carried bv ; rail. ' ; The Miiltrs Convention just he'd at Sr. Louis dedaied for reciprocity. ' but as tile Aiillers have been demand-', ing rccii-rocity for ten years of the : : Repnb'i.-an Congresses, one would I think they would soon gel tiled of i it and help tne Democrats out with , their tariff reform program. FLUE CURING IMPROVES TOBACCO LSK PROV Flue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste Found fn Schnapps that Satisfies Tobacco Hunger There are three ways used by far mers for curing and preparing their tobacco for the market; namely, sun cured, air cured and flue cured. The old and cheap way is called air cured ; the later discovery and improved way is called flue cured. In flue-curing the tobacco is taken from the field and suspended over intensely hot flues in houses especially built to re tain the heat, and there kept in the proper temperature until this curing process developes in the tobacco the stimulating taste and fragrant aroma found in Schnapps tobacco, just as green coffee is made fragrant and stimulating by the roasting process. Only choice selections of this ripe, juicy flue cured leaf, grown in the famous Piedmont country, where the best tobacco grows, are used in Schnapps and other Reynolds' brands of high grade, flue cured tobaccos. Hundreds of imitation brands are on sale that look like Schnapps ; the outside of the imitation plugs of to bacco is flue cured, but the inside is filled with cheap, flimsy, heavily sweetened air cured tobacco; one chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger longer than two chews of such tobacco. Expert tests prove that this flue cured tobacco, grown in the famous Piedmont region, requires and takes less sweetening than any other kind, and has a wholesome, stimulating, satisfying effect on chewers. If the kind of tobacco you are chewing don't satisfy, more than the mere habit of expectorating, stop fooling yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco. Schnapps is like the tobacco chew ers formerly bought costing from 75c. to $1.00 per pound; Schnapps is sold at 50c. per pound in 5c. cuts, strictly 10 and 15 cent plugs. R.
