LESSON
(By & O. IIB.TJCPB, Director of Waning
Department The Moody Bible Institute,
Chicago-) *
LESSON FOR OCTOBER 13.
CLKAN AND UNCLEAN.
LKBBON TKXT—Mark T:l-2t
GOLDKN TEXT—"For the Kingdom of
Ood Is not eatlns and drinking, but right
eousness and peace and Joy la the Holy
Ohost"—Rom. 14:11 R. T.
This lesson deals with the last of
those four events that marked the
crisis In the life of Jesus at Caperna
um. It occurred Just before the third
period of his Galilean ministry and hla
final departure for Jeruaalem.
Lessons 11. and Yll. of the second
quarter of this year ehowed us Jesus'
sttltude towards the law. Here wo
see his attitude towards rabbinical tra
dition. (1) They are the tradltlona of
men, and not the law of God. (t) They
were made a pretext whereby men
evaded the commands of the law.
We see before us three general divi
sions, I.—The accusation, ▼. 1-6; 11. —
The answer, ▼. 6-13, and 111. —The ap
plication, ▼. 14-21.
Ceremonial Neglected.
The crowing hatred of the Phari
sees led them to make the long Jour
ney from Jerusalem that they might
observe him lad find wherein to BO
SOM him. While they were studying
him they at the same time revealed
their ideal of the kingdom of Uod.
They took special notice that the dis
ciples of Jesus ate without the careful
observance of the oeremonlal cleans
ing of their hands. We mast not un
derstand this to mean so much the
removal of actual uncleanness, but
rather that the disolples had neglect
ed the ceremonfVl oservance of the
washing of hands of which the Phari
sees were so punctilious, lfark (v. >
and 4) adds illumination by calling
especial attention to these traditions
to which the Jews adhered so tena
ciously. Thus we can see that their
Ideal of man's relation to God waa
largely a matter of external ceremony.
Purity to them was an outward mat
ter, something largely governed by the
traditions of men and whioh they had
"received to hold" ▼. 5. The answer
of Jesus reveals a very opposite Ideal.
He begins by calling the Pharisees
hypocrites. A hypocrite is a play
actor, one who hides behind a mask.
Then applying the prophecy of Isaiah,
Jeans tells the Pharisees that they
are hiding their true character behind
the mask of oeremonlal cleansing.
Buoh play actiag Is but a poor
tatioa of the real heart condition IP
manded by God (Ps. 51:10). Their
hearts were far from God even though
with their lips they professed to
serve him, "and many like things
ye da" The service which Is pleas
ing to Ood Is the doing of his will. It
consists not In the fulfilling of a rit
ual, but in the fulfillment of life, a. g«
a growing character.
Disciples Perplexed.
Jesus takes advantage of this dis
cussion and turning to the mutitude
upon whom the Pharisees would bind
such a grievous burden of cermonial-
Ism and falsehood (Matt. 23:4) warns
them that it la not so much that which
enters into a man that defiles him, but
rather that which proceeds out of a
man, v. 18. It seems quite natural that
the disciples should be perplexed and
should ask Jesus what was meant by
such a statement Jesus' answer, ▼.
18-23, shows us very clearly that
these things coming forth, reveal the
corruption within. Read Matthew
12:34, 35, Gen. 6:5 and James 3:10-13.
Real purity Is purity of heart, If the
heart be not cleansed, what will It
avail if we wash the bands T What,
then, Is the application for this pres
ent day? Clearly we are taught the
danger of lip service without a change
of heart The danger of substituting
the good for the best Forma and
ceremonies are good and have their
plaoa. They are significant. They
are important teaching factors, but
they must not be substituted for a
pare heart We must beware last wa
hide behind such a mask.
There it here also (he plain teach
ing a* to Jesus' estimate of the Pen
tateuch and lnferentlally of the proph
ecy of Isaiah. He specifically calla It
the "Word of CkxL" Sorely we can
accept hla estimate as contrasted
with the traditions of the elder* or
the "consensus of modern thought"

AN AWFUL HANDICAP.
CORTEIYOU IS MUM
#HY DOESN'T HE TELL WHAT
HE KNOWS CONCERNING THE
ARCHBOLD CHARGES?
LOOKS DARK FOR ROOSEVELT
Assuming the Standard Oil Man Told
tha Truth, All Othere Concerned
Ara Involvad In What Was a Na
tional Diegraoa.
Where la Cortelyou and what has
ha to aay regarding tha Archbold
charges? Alone of tha living partici
pants In that famous deal, ha haa
kept silent. Yet It was to him that
Mr. Bliss reported, and to him that
Roosevelt "appealed" In his letters
and telegram. He knowa and should
tell whether Archbold haa concocted
this story la order to caat discredit
upon Roosevelt aad the Progressive
campaign or Is reciting facts. Hia
apparent unwllllngneaa to aay any
thing on thla case la certainly an
alarming phaae of the altuatlon. It
can be construed In either way, for
or ar«lnst Roosevelt. Cortelyou'a
loyal l ■ to hla old friend and patron
may ra'*e him reluctant to expoae
that fr. nd. On the other hand, be
la nov . resident of the New York
Oaa company, brought to New York
by Prank Vanderllp, prealdent of tha
National City bank, and If ha war*
minded to dispute Archbold, his new
alliances might give him pauae. Yet
In the very nature of thlnga ha mnat
speak and give his version of the die-
ggf Without his teetlmony or with
IP., .-Jthe affair may not be settled.
Indeed. It blda fair never to be eet
tled. One Item remains for Mr. Arch
bold to produce and that la Mr. Bliss's
reoelpt That certainly ought to be
somewhere In the Standard'* flies,
and If It la not found the failure to
find It will be cited aa a point In Mr.
Rooaevelt's favor. Thus far the col
onel'* denials have lacked substance
and vertalmllltude. In the old daya
he was lavish with and
other material with which to over
whelm hla critics. Now he Indulges
In lurid adjectives. The case looks
dark for him.
But, assuming that Archbold told
the truth, it looks almost as dark for
all others concerned. Mr. Archbold
acknowledges or claims that he gave
the money with the distinct under
standing that Roosevelt should know
of tt, which means that the president
of the United States was thereby to
be put under obligations to the
Standard OH company. Quid pro quo,
clearly. Later there was demand for
more and when Archbold hesitated.
Mr. Bliss feared the Standard people
were "making a mistake"—which
freely translated, meant that unless
they came down again they would
feel the pressure of governmental dis
favor. 'ln other words, blackmail.
And In this blackmailing were In
volved the president and his adjutants
In the anti-trust hunt on the one hand
and Mr. Archbold and his ramifying
associates on the other.
"Dear Mr. Bliss" was Involved, too,
In a sense, for he later expressed to
Mr. Archbold his deep regret at the
preeldent's actions, bewailing his own
failure to Influence him. Mr. Cortel
you is Involved too, for he must have
known what was going on, at any
rate during the campaign. There
were thus two parties to the trans
action, the bribe-givers and the bribe
takers. All the brige-glvers seem per
fectly at ease In their consciences at
their action, regarding It as simply a
phase of politico-commercial life. How
their acts will appear to posterity
and to the world at large may be an
other matter. The only Justification
for them lies in the fact that they
were approached by the other side
In the beginning. That, of course, Is
usual, but not Invariable. Then, too,
they had courage enough to refuse
to be Med still more, although warned
Remove the Odium.
Secretary Fisher's order that the en
tries upon Alaskan coal lands, com
monly known aa the Cunningham
claims, be canceled, was really the
confirmation, after a rehearing, of a
decision rendered by him some time
ago. This reversal of the Alaskan
land policy, which has become Identi
fied with the name ef Secretary Fish
er's predecessor In office, la a gratify
ing termination of a painful episode.
It will hardly relieve the Taft admin
istration, however, from the discredit
that they would suffer for It. But it
all ahows tha horrible plight of poll
tics in this country and Is a disgrace
to the natloh. How the London
dailies and weeklies will exult at
these revelations! How especially
will the Saturday Review rejoice at
a Justification of almost every fling
It has made at American corruption!
Can anything be said tn reply? Very
little. We can only construct a dia
bolical plot by Archbold, Penrose, at
al., to ruin Mr. Roosevelt and the
Progressive causa. There are very
law things to Justify such a theory.
Among these Is ths death of Mr.
Bliss snd the fact that his books as
treasurer of the committee were de
stroyed by him; so that any accusa
tlon whatever could be made and no
proof of his falsity could be pro
duced. Of coune this argument will
apply aa well to the other side of the
case. Naturally the Standard Oil peo
ple are furious at Roosevelt for his
prosecution of the trust and would
do almost anything to checkmate his
ambition to be president again, but
that they would devise such s plot Is
hard to believe. If we Inject Mr.
Penrose Into the affair, we may say
that his 13,000,000 story about the
Progressive campaign thla year is so
absurd that It Is difficult to credit any
of his charges. On the other hand,
Roosevelt's relations with Harrlman
during this campaign were such as to
make It probable that he welcomed
contributions. Ws know that he
asked Harrlman to help in the New
Tork state campaign of that year.
And It was no worse to aak Harrlman
than It was to ask Archbold. More
over the distinction between state and
national campaign funds is mythical.
The burden of proof is decidedly on
the colonel. Ha ought at once to
produce some proof. Let him testify
himself, and especially let him pro
duce Mr. Oortelyou. Then we shall
still have an unsolved question but
the burden may not seem so heavy
agalnat the ex-presldent.
EXPOSES THE TARIFF FRAUD
American Company's Offer of Steel
Ralls to Manchester, England, la
Illuminating.
Recently the city of Manchester
England, wanted steel rails for Its
roads. The contract was not a large
one, but when It waa advertised the
bidding for tt was sharp and bitter.
Manchester Is In the Iron and steel
district of England, and In a position
to command the lowest price on the
domestic product
When the bids were opened, how
ever, It was found that an American
concern, the Lorain Steel company of
Johnstown, Pa., had made the lowest
offer. In round figures, the Lorain
company would sell for $51,000 what
Its English rivals demanded |fi&,ooo
for.
The American company was pre
pared to manufacture the rails, pay
freight and handling to the Atlantic
seaboard, pay freight and handling by
sea to England, and again pay freight
and handling to Manchester, and still
make a profit on Its sale at nearly
ten per cent, under the British price.
And yet, In the face of such a show
ing as this, the stand pat Republican
still maintains that the present tariff
on steal rails is absolutely essential
to the prosperity of the Industry in
this country. The steel business Is
still to him an Infant Industry, even
though It can go Into the heart of
Britain and win contracts In competi
tion with hard-headed, close-calculat
ing manufacturers of the tight little
Isle.
As it is with steel, so It is with a
number of other products of our man
ufacturing plants, and with much of
our raw material. Some day the Amer
ican cltlsen will wake to the fact that
he has been swindled by the tariff
mongers who have fattened on his
toil, and then the day of reckoning
will come.

In observing the physical character

ent on the regularity of the bowels.
When the bowels become clogged with
the stomach's refuse, loss of appetite,
restlessness, irritability, and similar
evidences of disorder are soon appar
ent. Keep the bowels regular and a
healthy, happy child is assured.
At tha first sign of constipation the
mother should administer a mild laxa
tive to carry off the congested waste
from the stomach that is fermenting
and forcing poisonous gases into the
system. A simple compound of laxa
tive herbs with pepsin is highly recom
mended as being very mild, yet posi
tive, in its action, a teaspoon ful at
bedtime usually serving to bring an
eaay, thorough, natural inovement
next morning. This compound Is
known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
and is sold by druggists everywhere
for 60c a bottle. A larger bottle, put
up especlslly for the family medicine
chest, costs one dollar.
Tha use of salts and violent purga

ed. They are too harsh and drastic,
tending to upset the entire system.
