DODROW 1 NEXT PRESDENT ? An Interesting Letter From a Citi zen of Raleigh Who Has Just Seen and Heard the Schol ar Statesman. "The' student in politics" will lie resented by the. interests; and... the seeker after truth, if so be, is not always the strongest candidate in any election except one which fol lows some great -disaster. A reformer . is not the most repre sentative' man, if the scriptures be true nor the easiest to elect unless the "Stuarts" govern the country and the need for a Cromwell is man ifest. the evils which Mr. Wilson seeks to cure have become engrafted in the body politic irfttil the remady is. only a little better than the disease. Mr. Wilson stands for reform of the public service corporations which means a change in their char acter and constitution and has phrased a defiinition well enough to make some of the Northern periodi cals take notice. He says that the courts have er red in treating governmental func tions farmed out to corporations as property in the ordinary sense of the word. In the exercise of sucli pow ers they are and can logically be nothing more than the agents of the people,, and the only pretext for the use of such powers is the benefit of the people whom by accepting their trust they have undertaken to serve. The abuse of the powers of govern ment is the sure road by which the -great corporations have ridden into wealth and monopoly and political power. -- ;( " Mr. Wilson does not state the Ills the people are fighting better han Mr. Bryan and perhaps he does not know who are the public enemies as well; but be has not been a candi date and if Bryan says he is' the best. man for President we will all endorse him I mean the one and I two horse farmer and those ir. touch with him when l say all. Wilson is certainly a well equipped man and has long been considering the problems which have been grow ing more Insolvable for a quarter of a century or more, and for which I v see no solution except the second coming; of the Lord Jesus. W. J. PEELE. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT Whereas on Wednesday, May 30, 1911, death was permitted by an all wise Providence to remove from our Midst our brother, A. J.

K IXO IIEZEKIAII of Judah has a wonderful record as a man of God, a reformer, a patriot, yet he was the son of a bad father, who in turn was the son of n good rather, who in turn was the son of a bad father. .The alterna tion between good and bad for four generations Illustrates the fact that, although heredity has much to do R-ith every member of our race, nev ertheless, there are counter-balances In nature. We are all members of Adam's fain- fly, and as such we are all sharers In the general weakness, mental, moral and physical, which far six thousand years has aescenaea upon us. sc. Paul refers to this, saying, "By one man's disobedience sin entered Into the world, and death as the result of sin; and thus death passed upon all men, because all are sinners. Ro mans 5:12. The downward or sinful tenden cy Inbred In our. very constitution Is so stroDK th;t none Is able fully to overcome it. The best that Destroying Hot. any of us can do is to set our wills In opposition to our inherited weaknesses and to fight courageously against them. The Apostle assures us that if it were possible for humanity to fully gain such a victory over Its fallen self as to bring itself back to perfection then doubtless God would have pro vided that way of salvatiqn. Hazakiah tha Refirmar The King's father had introduced idolatrous worship erecting, altars and groves to the worship of Baal. God's temple was strewn with rubbish. Un der the direction of the King, the Levltes began a cleansing work. It required eight days to carry out the rubbish from the court, etc. Tnen the priests, who alone were authorized to enter into the Holy, or temple proper, were directed to cleanse the temple it self. ''.'-' . But as a preliminary work, before the.cleausing of the court or the tem ple began, the King directed that the priests and the Levltes sanctify them selves afresh to the" Lord and His service. How appropriate! How in harmony with the words of the Proph et Isaiah, who lived at that time and who was the King's counselor "Be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord's house:" Isa. 52:11. But let us not forget the instruction of St. Peter upon this subject. . Com paring the priesthood of Israel with the institutions of the Christian church, St. Peter gives us the thought that the priests of olden times do not find their antitypes- in the clergy of today, but in God's saintly or sanctified peo ple, whether iu or out of the public ministry. Thus St. Peter says to all of the con secrated Church of Christ, "Ye are a Royal Priesthood, a Holy Nation, a peculiar people, that ye should show forth the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvel ous light." The Divine Blessing The .conclusion of the feast was a Divine blessing upon all the people, through the Priests and Levltes. So there goes out a Divine blessing from the Lord's sauctitied people from all the consecrated of the household of faith to the peo ple in general to their neigh bors, their friends and vis itors from afar. Let such be our in fluence amongst Betckiah't great Paw over. men. v In this connection let us remem ber the power of the tongue, of which the Apostle said, "Therewith praise we God, and therewith curse (or injure) we men." Let our tongues and all our powers be used in blessing the people aa well as in praising our God. The King wisely began his reforma tion at the temple and gave the priests and Levltes the first share therein. ; It was later that the idols of the city of Jerusalem were gathered and hurled Into the valley of Kedron, and it was after the fervor of the Passover occa sion that the seal of the people in gen eral rose high, and they went forth all over the land, destroying the idols, the groves of Baal, and every symbol of disloyalty to God. And so today: Everywhere the light of our day Is showing more and more of the meanness, selfishness, corrup tionsome of it centuries old, and some of it bred of special privilege and opportunity. The call for reform is beard on every hand, although some times but feeble. The proper place for reform Is, as in-Hezekiah's day, with the aanctlflcation of the priests and the Levltes themselves. I ii ilii IMPERSONATING SIMS REEVES. How Quick Witted Man saved a Riot. The late Sims Reeves was billed to appear at Newcastle, and a large house was assembled to hear the great singer. Por some Unexplained reason he did not turn up. Other vocalists were put. on and received coldly. The house began to grow impatient, and the manager "was 1n despair. Just as a serious criBls ap proached a personal, friend of the be lated tenor resolved to save the sit uation. Knowing that he bore some physical resemblance to Sims Reevos, !'e left his place in the stalls, r t ied round to the stage door, and hurried ly gaininig the stage, walked to the footlights, bowed, and was greeted with a tumult of applause. "Ladies and gentlemen," he said; "I offer you my humble apologies foi the delay. (More cheering.) But a Power which controls the destinies of us all had" Here the singer seemed overcome with emotion. "La dies and gentlemen, I have just had a narrow escape from an awful death. (Sensation.) My nerves are natural ly much unstrung. I throw myself on your indulgence. (Great cheering.) In a few moments, however, your pa tience will be rewarded. (Cheering.) Will you kindly allow the others to proceed with the concert, as at this moment, Heaven is my witness, I cannot sing a note?" Further exclamations broke forth and the speaker retired to the wings, where he was received by the mana ger, who was breathless with emo- ftion "I only told them the truth," ex plained the impersonator; "for as I was rushing out from the front of the theatre, I was nearly knocked down by a cab, and, as Heaven is my witness, I cannot sing a note." "But suppose Reeves doesn't turn up?" queried the manager. "How are you going to get us out of this scrape? Ten minutes later the famous ten or appeared, and explained that he had unluckily overslept himself after dinner at a strange inn. He proved to splendid voice, and quickly caus ed his audience to forget any dis crepancies between bis own appear ance and that of his audacious im personator. From the June Strand.

Concerning wolves I was much itt- terestod trying to discover whe er these animals, (which, though sel dom seen by daylight, are very num erous In Labrador) clmse or attack the lonely traveler or hunter, a pas time, that according to the report and the iiilustrated papers, their cousins of Europe undoubtedly indulge In. Who can not recall ti picture of a flying droshky and its bearded driv er, with a passenger shooting a re volver over the crook' of his arm at the pursuing wolf-pack? But on the Labrador near the set tlements, at any rate the wolf bears a faiirly good character in this respect The only instance that I know of when wolves ;ittacked a man I have on the authority of Bish op Martin, of Naln. A settler had killed some seals on the edge of the Ice and returned to his home. Later on he went back to bring in the car casses, taking with him only a spada; s the place was not far from the station. While he was engaged in shovel ling off the snow which had collected on the bodies of the seals, four wolves came down upon him and seemed threatening. He was rather helpless, having no gun with him, but he defended himself by cutting at the neck of one., of the animals with his spade. Then keeping his spade towards them he held them off with the spade as he retreated in the direction of the shore and the settlement. The fact that they meant an attack seems to' be proved by their following him for some dis tance, but he escaped. From Across Unknown Labrador" in the June Wide World. WHEN BANISTER, THE ACTOR, SAT ON THE WOOLSACK. Borrowed Lord Chancellor's Robes On one occasion a gentlemanly-ap pearing lndivildual walked boldly up the steps of St. , Stephen's, passed the various officials, turned into the House of Lords passage, and in a self-possessed manner entered the robing room. "Lords , Normanby's robes." The , attendant looked surprised. "But, my Lord " he began. "I know it's absurb," said tihe stranger, "but the tailor cannot fin ish my robes in time, and I must at tend this sitting. Lord Normandy was so kind as to offer You un derstand?" "Oh, certainly, my Lord," respond ed the rober, obsequiously. The crimson and ermine was pro duced and donned, and the pseudo peer strolled into the House, where few peers were waiting, adminis tered a series of affable nods right and left, and finally took his place on the woolsack. For full thirty seconds he sat there, while those present tried to collect their facul ties. Then he siowly arose and, re marking to the clerk," how stupid of me! I now remember I have an ap pointment elsewhere," retired from the chamber. In, the robing room ha remarked. "Thaind Lr(i Normandy, and tell his lordship I have just re-, called a pressing appoinitmeint with the King." "Yes, my lord. What name?" "What name?" echoed the other, in assumed astonishment. "What name? Really my good fallow you must be careful very careful. It does not do to forget yourself in this assembly. But I will overlook your elip this time. Good morning." That evening it was known at the 3eefsteak Club that ( Banister, the actor, had won a bet rf 50. From 'Cheek" in the June Strand.
