IXTRODUCTIOX. Tho voice of
Amos, the faithful witness for God,
was hushed. Jeroboam II, tho reign
ing king, who heard tho warning,
studied in our last lesson, went the
way of all the earth. A period of
anarchy followed, variously estimated
as to Its duration. The kingdom of Is
rael was tottering to its fall. Zachnr
lah, Shnllttm and three others gnlned
the throne in succession, but only for n
brief time, several of them to suffer n
violent death. Another period of an
archy, and Hosea assumed the scep
ter. Through all these changes the
people continued their mad course of
sin nnd folly. Perhaps they had for
gotten the predictions of wrath, and
had come to think that the old prophet
was u fanatic. But God had not for
gotten. (Psalm clll, 9.) Although He
had mercifully wnlted, giving time for
repetniice, His purpose had not
changed. At last the day of His judg
ment came, when tho words of Amos
should be fullllled. In tho yenr 721 B.
C, 254 years after Its founding, the
northern kingdom, comprising ten
tribes of Israel, censci1 as a nation, its
territory being absorbed in tho Assy
rian empire. The brief record of that
downfall, and tho influences that led
up to it, forms our lesson today.
SECRECY. The put pose nnd plan of
the prophets In writing history were
unlike the purpose and plan of secular
wrlUrs. Tliey sought chiefly to show
tho nature and results of sin, nnd in
doing this they sketched the beginning,
progress nnd end of sin, (James I: 15,)
which is ns important as to exhibit the
various phases of n disease. Hence, In
our lesson, we nre told that Israel be
gan Its wicked career secretly. (Verse
0.) They practiced In private "those
things that were not right In the sight
of God." It Is n singular circumstance
that men vainly imagine they can de
ceive the Almighty, that His eye does
not behold nil their transgressions.
(Ezek. vlll: 12.) They therefore make
bold to do Iti tho darkness what they
would fear to do In tho full light of
day. (Eph. v: 12.) It Is only when the
doctrine of the Divine omnlscence
(Psalms cxxxlx: 2-3,) is received and
made operative In human life that se
cret sins aro hated most of all (Psalm
xlx: 12.) as being most dangerous to
the person and most offensive to God.
PUBLICITY. But he who practices
sin secretly is likely In time to do so
openly. The thought that God sees
only what man sees will soon give
place to the thought that He does not
see at nil. Besides, what is done in
private quickly dominates the man.
becoming a kind of second nature.
Hence nfter a period of hidden Indul
gence, during which tho outward forms
of religion were maintained, Israel
eventually cast off those forms and
ndopted others in harmony with the
spiritual condition. (Veres 10 and 11.)
This was tin next phae In the na
tional development, making tho out
ward conform to the Inward. (Matt.
xil: 33.) In this way Idolatrous wor
ship was introduced. Images nnd
groves were set up In every high hill,
nnd tinder every green tree. The re
ligious customs of the heathen who
dwelt In the 'and prior to the conquest
were adopted, notwithstanding those
people had been consigned to destruc
tion. The reason ior all this Is plain.
Heathenism was preferred to the In
stitutes of Moses because the former
satisfied more fully tho longings of de
praved hearts and ministered to the
unholy appetites.
DISOBEDIENCE. All this depar
ture, vvhethet secret or public, result
ing from tho degeneracy of tho people,
was the more offensive to God, because
It had been expressly forbidden. (Verso
12.) Had the nation been gradually
corrupted with false Ideas which by
degrees' had undermined their faith
and pirverted their practice, thero
would have been some apology. Hut
in the lory low upon which were bulld
ed nil the Institutions nnd In which
centered nil tho hopes of Israel, In tho
law delivered by Moes, the venerated
founder of the civil and ecclesiastical
code, there were commands the most
explicit and positive, forbidding tho
things which had been done. (Ex. xx:
3.) The people could not be ignorant
on this subject, for they had been in
structed for seven hundred years.
(Lev. xxvi: 1.) As well might nn
American clnlm to know nothing of
tho Declaration of Independence na
theso Israelites might plead ignorance
of the many statutes ngalnst Idolatry.
(Deut. Iv: 19.) Theirs was unmistaka
ble and flagrant disobedience ngalnst
the commandment of God, ngalnst tho
traditions of tho nation, ngalnst the
constitution nnd genius of tho govern
ment, against the religion of their
fathers.
WARNING. To make matters still
worse theso people wero repeatedly
warned. The God ngalnst whom they
tinned did not Immediately forsake
them. (Verse 13.) Hut Ho raised up
prophets and seers teachers and those
who foresaw and sent these men to
tho nation to testify against it. Thin
was a separate and independent order
of ministers, amenable only to the
Lord. The priests performed certain
rites and ceremonies nnd maintained
the stated services of the snered sea
sons, but the prophets. Inspired for
the work, came with messages direct
from heaven. There was a long lino
of these Illustrious men. (Luke 1: 70.)
Before one passed away another ap
peared. Samuel, Elijah, Ellslia, Amos,
Isaiah. Hosea and others, nil imbued
with one spirit, nil zealous for the
cause of God. hod urged Israel to turn
from her evil ways, and to keep the
commandments delivered unto tho
fathers in the Infancy of the nation.
The world has never seen such s"lf
denylng nnd holy men as those whom
God commissioned to bring back this
wandering people to their ancient loyalty.

(Psnltn II: 2.)
APOSTASY. Thero Is no hope of re
form In the man who Is offended when
rebuked for sin, who increases in sin
because urged to forsake It. In such
a enso tho whole nature Is Involved,
the will as much as tho Intellect and
affections. He Is then unalterably Join
ed to his evil way. (Hos. iv: 17.) The
laws of the spiritual nature have been
broken, and an nbnormnl state Induced
from which thero Is no escape by any
power iu tho man himself. Into such
condition has Israel come through cen
turies of obduracy. There was a com
plete abandonment of the religious
faith previously held, and the adoption
in Its place of u system of worship de
rived from other nations, from the
Egyptians and the Canaanitea (Verses
1G nnd 17.) The downward movement
of a great people, apparent to the
teachers of the time, became more
rapid as the years passed and ended In
total apostasy. How shocking wero
their practices tho historian portrays to
us. They caused their sons and daugh
ters to pass through the lire, a system
of consecration nlso employed, umong
thy ancient Druids, ns Caesar shows.
(Gallic War.) They used divination nnd
enchantments and worshipped the host
of heaven. (2 Peter II: 22.)
DESTRUCTION. Thero nro those
who think of God ns a being of
unlimited love, who imagine that with
Infinite good will He regards all men
ns children, whatever their character
nnd conduct. But there Is In Him nn
element of justice so that Ho distin
guishes between the righteous and the
wicked, rewarding the one and punish
ing the other. There came, therefore,
a time when the forbearance of the Al
mighty censed. His patience toward
Israel was exhausted, and His love was
changed Into nnger. (Verse 18.) The
nation which Ho had established and
maintained, which He had nourished
with pecullur care as His own, He now
removed out of Ills sight Ho looked
upon It no more with fnvor, but doomed
It to destruction. A remnant only, the
tribe of Judah, one out of twelve of the
original group of tribes, was spared.
And that tribe was suffered partly for
David's sake, (1 Kings XI: 13.) and
partly for Jerusalem, the city nnd its
temple, the memories that clustered
about it, the lnlluonces that centered
in it, and tho future that would spring
from it.

CONCLUSION The chief thought of
OHDURACY. All this only increas- the lesson is thnt uttered by un orator
during our revolutionary period. "There
ed the national shame. To tho secret
and open offences already described,
the dlsregaid of time-honored and
well-known law, there was added tho
sin of obstlnncv. (Verses 14 nnd 15.)
They "hardened their necks," as an
unruly ox resists the will of Its owner.
The calls of the prophet were resented.
They became more determined in their
course tho more they wero urged to
forsake It. They openly nnd purpose
ly rejected the very slatutes which
they had received from heaven, end
they would not so niucn an listen to
tho messages of God's servnnts. Thy
became vain, that Is, trilling nnd care
less, and followed tho ways of vanity,
nnd sought and courted the friendship
of the heathen that wero near to thorn.
As the child, bent on an evil way, re
sists as an unwarranted interference
with personal liberty, all instruction
nnd restraint of parents, and even des
pises parental advice and authority, so
did Israel toward tho Almighty, grow
ing worse and worse, wandering fur
ther and further nwny from God, ex
pecting to break the bonds and attain

mi
is a Just God who presides over the
destinies of nations." States arise and
fall according to His will. Ordinary
men do not see Him at work in history.
They see only the strivings of mortal?,
each Intent on his own business and
pleasure. Ily help of the Holy Spirit
the sacred writers beheld the Almighty
thrusting into the freo actions of men
His own wisdom and power to ac
complish what men could neither plun
nor foresee. Another great point in tho
lesson Is the disclosure of the secret of
national decay. In a recent speech Lord
Salisbury declared there were two
kinds of nations, the living and the
dying, and that all the former are
Christian. This truth Is illustrated in
tlie fate of Israel, When the people did
wickedly nnd practiced idolatry the
seeds of dissolution wero sown. Sin
is the source of national death, because
it pollutes the whole body politic, dis
turbs the proper relations of men,
alienates them from God, deprives them
of His favor, provokes His Judgment
and weakens the public faith.

The Republican Party Faces tho Na
tion with a. Clear Conscience.
Colonel W. A. Stone, at Pittsburg,
llavo tho predictions of tho Republican
rurty been verified since tho Inauguration
of tho present administration at Wash
ington? L.t us pause a moment wnlle
wo reflect upon tho conditions us they
wero then and ns they aro now.
In IS!) I, ufter two years of Democratic
rule, tho annual expenditures of tho gov
eminent wero f09.M)3,2Gl.O0 greater than
Its Income, although they were years of
profound peace. In order to pay tho ac
tual current expenses of tho government,
tho Democratic administration was com
iullcd to lssuo bonds In tho amount of
two hundred and sixty-two millions of
dollars, bearing 4 per cent. Interest, and
tho national debt, which nas been steadily
reduced by tlio Republican party Bin
ISiii), was proportionately Increased. Tho
lucrcaso in tho national debt, however,
largo us It was, is insignificant In com
parison to tho grout loss to tho Individual
citizens of tlio country in tho decrcaso of
property values of every description. Tho
loss In tho valuo of our material re
sources and pioducts was so largo as to
bowltder tho mind of tlio statistician. Wo
learn from tho American Economist nnd
from other rcllablo sources that tho fall
ing oft In itho valuo of farm products dur
ing tho four years of Democratic admin
istration as compared with their valuo In
1W2 was:
In tho valuo of wheat J300.S3.'.3M
In tho valuo of corn 3K!,72".C1S
In tho valuo of farm animals.. S.5G0,43'J.0CS
Tho decrenso In the value of theso thr o
articles alono In the aggregate. Is more
than three thousnud millions of dollars.
It must not bo forgotten that these fig
ures nro taken from olllclal publication'!
compiled by Dcmocrntlo authorities, and
will not, therefore, bo gainsaid by our
opponents in tills campaign.
Tho country wus In a deplornblo condi
tion when President McKlnley wns in

victory for a protective tarllf, Bound

wheels of industry have been set In mo

Thousands havo tried from time Im
memorial to discover Bomo elilcacious
remedy for wrinkles and other impcr
fectlons of tho complexion, but nona had
yet succeeded until tho Misses Bell, the
now famous crnplexlon Specialists, of ,3
Fifth Avenue, New York City, ottered
tho public their wonderful Complexion
Tonic. The reason so many lnlled to
make this discovery before Is plain, be
ctuso they hnvo not followed tho right
principle. Balms. Creams, Lotions, etc.,
never have n tonlo effect upon tho skin,
hence the failures.
'Jiio Misses Hell's Completion Tonic has
n most exhilarating effect upon the cuti
cle, absorbing and carrying oft all Im
purities which the blood by Its natural
action is constantly forcing to tho mir
fnco of tho skin. It Is to tho skin what a
vitalizing tonic Is to the blood nnd nerves,
a kind of new lifo that Immediately ex
hllarutcs and strengthens wherever np
plied, Its tonic effect Is felt almost Im
mediately, and It speedily bnnlahes, for
ever from tho Bkln. freckles, pimples,
blackheads, lroth patches, wrinkles, liver
spots, roughness, olliness. eruptions, nnd
decolorations of nny kind.
In order that nil may bo benefited by
their Great Discovery, the Misses Bell
will, during tho present month, glvo to all
cnllers at their parlors ono trial bottle of
their Complexion Tonic absolute)' "Co,
and In order that those who cannot call
or who llvo away from New York may bo
benellted, they will send ono bottlo to
any address, all charges prepaid, on tho
receipt of 23 cents (stamps or silver) to
cover cost of packing und delivering. Tha
prlco of this wonderful tonle Is $1.10 per
bottle, nnd this liberal olfer should bo
embraced by ull.
The Misses Bell hnvo Just publlsh'd
thslr new book, "Secrets of lt:aty.
This vnluablo work Is freo to nil desiring
it. The book treats exhaustively of tho
lmportunco of n good complexion; tells
how a woman may ucquiro beauty and
keep It. Special chapters on tho euro nf
tho hnlr; how to havo luxuriant growth;
harmless methods of making tho hulr
