London, of Pitts boro, has aunounml himself a candidate for Corporation Co mm is sionor to sumd Mr. Heddingtield Major London is a man of ablility and has been a life long Democrat and done much service to his party an the State. We would be pleased to see him elected to jthe office to which he aspires. As a matter of information to our neighbor, the Topic, we will say that the Editor of the News has paid his poll tax and expects to vote for prohibition. As an able committee has been selected, however, to conduct the campaign in this county, we do not see the need of the News tearing its shirt in the matter. The Supreme Court of the United States has handed down its deci siou in the celebrated Railroad, rate cases and the decision is a complete vindication of Judge J. C. Pritchard, of this State. The decision was almost unanimous, Judge Harlan being the only one dissenting. Of the nine Justices composing the Supreme Court, six are Republicans and three Demo crats and Justice Harlan, the only dissenting member, is a Republi can, so it cannot be truthfully said that the court was in any way influenced by political bias. The decision is a "solar plexus" blow at the States rights advocate who talked so long and loud during the recent railroad agitation. Mr. Kitchen and Mr. Craig have both felt called upon to denounce some of the newspapers of the State, or rather as they are pleased to term it, defend themselves against attacks of the newspapers. Both of these young men seem to have explanations and defenses to make in regard to their positions on certain questions. This being so it would seem to be the wise thing for the Democratic party in this State to take up Mr. Ashley Home, who probably has no su perior in the State in point of in tegrity and business capacity and make him Governor. Mr. Home has a record any man might be proud of and would make a Gov ernor who would inspire confidence and revive industrial progress all over the State. The young men can well afford to wait four years and let us have a successful busi ness man for Governor and not an ambitions politician.

Tsxt of th Lmmd, Prov. xxiii, 29-35. Memory Vara, 31 GoMen Ttxt, Prov. xxiii, 32 Commentary Pro pared by Rev. D. M. 8tern. lOopyrigfat. 1906, by Americu fnm AaocUtioo. All Scripture is given by Inspiration of God and is profitable. that the man of God may be thoroughly fur nished unto all good works. Whatso ever things were written aforetime were written for our learning (II Tim. ill. 1G. 17; Rom. xv, 4). These sayings certainly include the book of Froverbs as well as every other part of the Scriptures. This has been called a book on godliness or holy living, con trasting God's wisdom and man's fol ly; it Is God's wisdom for man's Igno rance. The words wise and wisdom are used over 100 times, and the words fool, folly, foolish, foolishness, over ninety times. In chapter vlil and elsewhere wisdom evidently refers to the Son of God. for lie Is the wi Join of God (I Cor. i. 24). By contrast we think of the fools of wbom He Himself spake, who hear His words hut do them uot. who tire rich on earth, but not rich toward God; who have no use for prophecy (Matt, vli, 20; Luke sii. 20, 21; xxlv. 2o). In verse 4 of this lesson chapter we read, "Labor not to be rich; cease from thine own wisdom," for It Is man's wisdom to get rich quickly and at any cest, for he Is slow to believe that riches make themselves wings and fly away (verse 5). Our lesson, with Its Immediate con text, sets forth the folly of bad women and strong drink, two of the great evils of this world by which the great destroyer destroys multitudes. Con cerning the former it Is written, "Her house is the way to hell" (chapter vii, 27). and, concerning both, they cannot Inherit the kingdom of God (I Cor. vi, 0-11). but that even such have been saved and may be saved, for Christ Jesus came into the world to save sin ners, to seek and save the lost. Woe and sorrow is the present portion of all such, and if they die In their sins then It will be ferment that will covet a drop of water to cool the tongue, and finally the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and bis angels (Luke xvl, 24; Matt xxv, 41). But God Is not willing that any should perish, and In the person of His Son He became a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, was wounded and bruised for us, bearing our sins in Ills own body on the cross, suffering the Just and the unjust that He might bring us to God (Isa. lilt 3-5; I Pet 11. 24; iil, 18), and he It Is who says, "Wisdom Is the principal thing: there fore get wisdom, for wisdom Is better than rubles, and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to It. for wboso flndeth Me flndeth life and shall obtain favor of the Lord" (chapter Iv. 7; vlll. IL 35). All sin Is a form of selfishness, the gratification of the carnal mind, wbtch is enmity against God, and the only hoe for any kind of a sinner Is a new heart, a clean heart, which God Himself must create in us, and does when we receive niin who was made sin for us. Every one, moral or openly sinful, must be born of God, as we learned In our recent leeeon on John ML The carnal mind, the natural man, is incorrigibly bad and never can be made new (Rom. viil, T), but the Son ef God, the wisdom of God, wfll receive any sinner who comes to Him (John vl. 37), will enter any heart that is opened to Him, and then the sinner becomes a new creature in Christ If Christ is then allowed to have the right of way In the life that He has redeemed and to work out the works which He has prepared (Eph. 11. 10). God will be glorified and the life of Jesus made manifest In that life. In verse 33 of our lesson we read of the eyes and the heart, and In I .am. ill, 51. we learn that the eye affects the heart, and in Job xxxl, 7, that the heart walks after the eyes. If, there fore, we would live as we should we must look in the right direction and continue so to do. In verse 31 we read, "Look not," but there must be a counter attraction, therefore the com mand. "Look unto Me and be ye saved." "Behold the Lamb of God," "Run with patience, looking unto Jesus" (Isa. xlv, 22; John i, 20, 36; Heb. xll 1, 2). By looking unto Him there Is life for every lost one, and by continuing to look there is a life of triumph for every saved one. Apart from Him there Is no life, and looking anywhere else bnt unto Him there is no victory. The words "at the last" in verse 32 should lead us to consider well that there Is a last opportunity to repent, a last call to turn to God, and "he that being often reproved, bardeneth his neck shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy" (xxlx, 1). For the sinner of every kind there is a last indulgence and then, if cnt off Ira sin. eternal woe. Consider Dan. v, 30; Luke xfj, 20, and the context Verse 34 of the lesson makes us think of that word of David, "Truly as the Lord Hveth, and as thy son ltveth, there ts but a step between me and death" (I 8am. xx, 3). The last verse suggests chapter xxtII, 22, 'Though thon shouklst bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his fooMshneM depart from him." I Apart from God and His 8pirbt and. the blood of His dear Son, the case of! any and every sinner is utterly hope less, but to such a Shepbesd . as! Saviour nothing is too hand.

Tis she, the steadfast one, Whose frienship made ns feel That life, with all it's change and chance, Still held things true and real. And as the angels lead her on, Up to the waiting King, A shining peace is on her face For joy that she may bring Not empty hands, to meet His clasp, But full and running o'er. Of ransomed souls who watched for her Upon the farther shore. ' For 'twas her life of righteousness That shone, a strong white light, To point them, as the way grew broad. To paths of truth and right. Aud hear ye not the Muster's voice Saying "Come thou faithful one Thiue is the crown, the victory. For a noble life well done." The world seems poorer now by far.
