Ckeab&f Public tad Private.
(American Magazine.)
F.P.Dunne, writing the "In
terpreter's House," says in part:
. "What we - have to do is to
make people feel that political
dishonesty is as disgraceful as
private dishonesty; to force upon
men who regard themselves as
leaders of human progress the
conviction that they must play
the game fairly, and that bribe
giving and bribe taking are as
shameful as forgiug noUs, or
cheating at cards, or pulling a
horse in a race. Of course there
is no comparison between the
crimes. A man who would slip
an ace up Ins sleeve or bribe a
jockey to put a horse in a pock
et is a gentlemanly sportsman
compared with the man who will
sow corruption through the
whole body of a community in
order to gain an unfair advan
tage in the game of politics.
Yet decent people who will shun
a black leg of the race course or
the card table will not hesitate
to take their dinner publicly in
the company of a man who is
avowedly corrupt in his relations
witti the government.
"A card sharp is kicked out
of the game. One lapse con
demns him forever. We have
known of a brave and wo think)
honest man who was pursued to
his grave by the mere rumor
that he cheated at cards. Yet a
man may cheat at the far great
er game of politics, he may sell
his hand to an opponent, or
throw away the stronger hand
for a bribe, and be none the
worse off in the opiniou of the
public. He can't live down a
jieek at his neighbor's hand, but
he cannot only live down but he
can thrive on bribing a jude."
Aaks Uncle Sam To Hunt Ghoit.
Washington, D. C. Feb. 10.
Uncle Sam, a man of large
family and varied employment,
has been invited to take a job of
ghost hunter. The obnoxious
spirit is said to abide at .Jonas
Pidge, North Carolina, and the
suggestion is made that the gov
ernment send an expert down
there to "investigate" it.
It. T. Clay well, of Morganton,
in a letter to Congressman Webb
says:
"For two or three years visi
tors at Jonas Ridge (Cold
Springs) have been right much
wrought up over a strange light
they could see every night about
9 o'clock. Some of the fishing
clubs have had letters from Mr.
Lovin in the last few days, and
he says that the light is still do
ing business at the old stand.
Looking at the mountains and
peaks, the light seems to be a
bout eight miles from Mr. Lov
in's house. It rises up to the
height of fifty feet, and then
gradually disappears. In talk
ing with Rev. Mr. Gregory, pas
tor of the Presbyterian church
here, this morning, he told me
that when he saw it last summer
it was very bright, so bright
that it hurt his eyes like the sun
What is it? Can't you get the
government to send an expert
down here to investigate it? If
you do this, make 'Red Buck'
Bryant come with him."
And Now A Bond Issue.
(Catawba County News.)
Did you hear one word about
a bond issue during the cam
paign to meet the expenses of
running this State government.
Did you hear one word about a
State debt and the need of such
a thing as a bond issue? And
now comes word from Raleigh
that we are to have a bond issue
in order to pay olT our debts and
to run our state institutions.
If this legislature issues bonds
under these circumstances, it
will be more tolerable tor Sod
om and Gomorrah than for tin
men who do this thing.
The striking New York wait
ers threaten to reveal kitchen
'secrete. After all we may be
able to determine "what is
hash."

Lesson
By K. O. SELLERS, Director of Eve
ning Department The Moody Bible Ia
tltute of Chicago.)
LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 23
ABRAM AND LOT.
I.FSSON TEXT Oen IS 1-11
GOl.PKN TEXT ""The blessing of Je
hovah, it maketh rich, and He addeth no
sorrows therewith." Prov 10.21.
During the time that Intervened be
tween this and last week's lesson we
read of Abrani's journey "down Into
Efcypt," a story that is rich with sug
gestive typical lessons. Abram's de
ceit is discovered by Pharaoh and he
is driven from Egypt. Fear Is the
root of unbelief, and when we fall we
are sure to can-y some one with us
But a man's sin is sure to be discov
ered, so It was that "Pharaoh com
manded his men. and they sent him
away, and his wife, and all that he
had." Egypt, a type of the world,
turned Abram out ( 12:20) when he
tried the "good Lord good devil" mode
of life. Compromise and separation
are not compatible.
Lesson's Picture.
I. "Up Out of Egypt." vv. 15 Again
we have presented the lesson of sepa
ration. This portion Is a great pic
ture of repentance. Abram carried
with him not only his own possessions
but also those of his nephew Lot No
tice. Abraro's wealth did not make
hlni acceptable In Egypt. The world
desires not alone the wealth of a man.
but also the man bark of the wealth.
Again Abmrn turns from conflict un
to Pethel, the house of God, that place
of confession, of consecration, and of
encouragement.
These returning pilgrims were not I
ordinary men, no more is the man who
Is in Christ, and God was already
given evidence of the blessing prom
ised to Abram (12:2) and of that ma
terial blessing so definitely promised
to the descendants of Jacob We
read (v fi) "their substance was
great " But there Ib far greater dan
ger however In material prosperity
than In adversity. This was a greater
danger to these pilgrims than that of
the Canaanltes who dwelt In the land
II. "And There Was Strife," vv. 5-9
The evidence of this danger manifest
ed Itself when It was found that the
land could not support both Abram an. 1
Lot (v. 6) Paul calls Timothy's at
tention to this same danger (I Tim
fi:9L and we are constantly seeing it
Illustrated all about us.
Lot'e History.
Lot was Journeying with Abram
rather than with Jehovah (12:3).
doubtless in a great measure he was
governed by cupidity and selfishness
when he beheld Abram's prosperity.
Millions In America profit by the se
curity and the prosperity of this which
so nearly approaches a Christian na
tion and yet In scorn or In neglect re
fuse to believe in or to serve the Ood
who sends the blessing. The whole
history of Lot Is one of selfishness
which later resulted In sorrow and
sadness and In his being shorn of all
of his selfishly acquired prosperity.
Lot had no particular claim upon
Abram nor have we In onr own right,
or because of our own merit, upon
or be causeof our own merit, upon God.
There Is so little that divides most of
us and so much that we hold In com
mon that It is but little short of crim
inal to waste our energy upon that
which is ephemeral or of slight Im
portance. What a difference In the
choice of Lot and that of Abram. One
entered Into the path of the wicked.
Prov. 4:14, 15. while the other Into
the path that "shlneth more and more
unto the perfect day," Prov. 4:18.
III. "And Lot . . . Beheld All the
Plain of Jordan," vv. 10-13. Lacking
the counsel and guidance of Jehovah
Lot followed the choice that which
was pleasing to the eyes and made a
sorry mess of It, for in the end he was
a great loser. Already the land was
doomed (v. 10) and so today the man
who chooses the world In preference
to Christ makes a bad bargain (I John
2:17) and the greater condemnation Is
his for be makes, his choice in the blaz
ing light of nearly twenty centuries of
the Gospel. Lot made a" willing com
promise, a superficial choice and came
near losing his own soul. Matt, 16:26,
6:33. He dehberately entered into
danger when he "pitched his tent to
wards Sodom." The believers peril is
worldllness. Lot's journey (v. 11) led
at last to Sodom v. 12.
Abram aspired to know Ood, Lot
had an ambition to possess the things
of time and sense. . Abram coveted
righteousness (Matt. 5). Lot eoveted
success in this life only. Well has
Goethe exclaimed. "Choose well: your
choice is brief and yet it is endless."
Eternity alone will reveal the results
of our choice of surroundings, upon
ourselves, upon our families and upon
our friends.
IV. "Lift Up Thine Eyes," vv. 14-18.
After separation comes fellowship and
fruitfulnese. God invited Abram to
;irise arid to Inspect his promised pos
sessions. So may we contemplate the
vast possessions Ood has promised
ijh in Christ Jesus. Rom. 8:17. 2 Cor.
4:18. After our separntlon and our
fellowship comes true fmitfulnesB and
no ;per!ty, I Tim. 4:18. Abram went
to Hebron (v.iiich means fellowship),
Mnd there in the midst of Mamre
(which means fatness) he built an al
tar unto God. Worship and sacrifice
ko hand In hand today aa they did In
agtis past.
