They appreciate that ho spoke as he did after consideration and not fiom tho Inspiration of the banquet cup. His personality Is known from Irkutsk to Washington. The coldbloodedness of his nature gives authority to tho statement that his speech of a week ago was a dhect warning to continen tal Europe that In time of need the Anglo-Saxon would be a unit nK.ilnst the Latin and the Slav.

The Temple Repaired., 2 Chronicles, XXIV, 4-13. BY J. E. GILBERT, D. D., LL. D., Secretary of American Society of Religious Education. CONTEXT. Jehoshaphat, the good king of Jud.ih, nfttr venrs of faithful servlco committed ono great blunder he made a league with Ahub against the Sllans Al. though afterward he sought to repair the mischief, troublo resulted, clouding tho closing jeais of his life. Ills son, Jo hotniii, forxook tho godly cxuinplo of his father, slew bin brethren and reigned eight j. curs In wickedness nu followed the course of Ahub nnd restored licatlicn worship (II Chron. xxl), setting up im ages in tha gloves. Ab a consequence God withheld his protecting care, nnd tha Eel omltcs nnd the Llbr.ilians, wlio liad been subject from the time of David, rebelled. Ho died in a horrid innuiier, unci was sii" ended by his son who followed in bis footHteps. Atliallnh then took up tho government, n bloeid-thlrstv woman, whose nmbltlout) designs urought the na tion vvcll-nlgh to anarchy But snlviitlju came at last throush Jfhold.i the priest who emplovcd the urmv to put Joa!i on tlie thione, the joung prlnee who had I een concealed during the time of slaugh ter Joash vns onlv seven jears of ogo vhcn he vas made slug, the solo survlu) of tho seed of David.

And to this eat of .lonsli was nu exhibition of tho goodi c s ot his heart, the piomlsc of the new dnv that, under his reign i-houkl came to the kingdom of Judih.

In Ills whole life, even In his op position to home mle, which he moie thnn any other man defeated, Cham boilnln has never varied fiom support of those- sentiments Ho is less of a socialist today. than ho once was, less of an Impel lous itidlcnl, so far as tho cential government of England Is con cerned, but ho Is steadfastly for the amelioration of the conditions sur loundlug tho middle and common classes of his nation His tofoim plnttorm. outlined by himself in IS").', proposes shortening the bonis of woik of inlnois, i emulations for tlie caily closing of shops, arbitra tion in labor disputes, compensation for injuries to employes by employers, old ago pensions for deserving poor, lesttlctlon nnd contiol of pauper Im migration, Inci eased facilities to local authoiltles to make town Impiove ments, power to local authorities to aid woikmen to become house owners. Certainly In this ho is moie than abreast of his time, nnd bv foice of his support of such measures and his peisistent Insistence on unity between England nnd all hoi colonies he has even feiced the house of lords to not ulllv tear but respect lilm A pei feet system of unity for im pel lal England can never comprehend an nlllonee with nnv foreign power of Euiopo oi Asia Tho alliance if to be made, must be with the Anglo-Saxon or Celt (ns ou choose) of Ameiiia, nnd Mr Chamberlain, In the oj i n nf diplomats In Washington, has hi fore warned tlie wotld that If not today fifty jears hence the I'nlted States and England will be as one In matters of external polle. He Is supported In his position by the Duke of Fife, by Sir Charles Dllke, by the Duke of Aigvll, and Innumera ble eminent public men of England In (our own country tlio opinions vary much us to the advantage of such an alliance Pi. Lyman Abott advocates a formal alliance; othets of equal prominence oppoo It as a departure fiom our ttadltlonal policy of standing aloof. Lord Hrassey is foi an Anglo Saxon pact Prime Minister Sagustu of Spain teimed the famous speech as reckless Tlie Journal des Debuts of Pails arrives Mr Chamberlain of being the author of a plot to suddenly ntt.uk the Punch fleet and destroy It Tho Matin declares war between Eng land and Franco Is now within meusui able limits In St. Petersburg the speech was denounced In unmeasured terms Here at home, of our senatois, both Cullom and Toraker pralcsed tho declaration, although not committing themselves to favoring the ulllunce hinted at. With a voice which they say tesem bles that of a "London cabbv," Mr Chamberlain has succeeded In aiousing the world of diplomacy as It has not been stltred In years Not even the difference which wp have on now with Spain has given so much concern aa this speech from the lips of a cabinet oillcer of England T3ut then Mr Chamberluln never does anything, they say In his home, that Is not extruordl naty nnd wot thy of tho closest consid eration. If you chance by London way this season nnd meet n slendorly built man wearing a huge monocle and an orchid you will know tlint it is Cham berlain, the man who was termed by the lords when he was flist on his way to tho commons to mice his beat. "The black man fiom the countty, clay pipe in mouth, clothes soiled with dlit." The lords do not eay that now. ItEPItOOr. The men thus sent outwero reluctant to enter upon their work.

But Joash vvns not to bo thwarted In his purpose. Ho vvns not one of thnt sort who aban dons a good causo on account of tho apathy or even opposition ot others, 'lho men who had been appointed to thl.i ser vice were culled to account (verse 6). 'i ho rcci cant ofllclals must have felt chagrined at the stern leprcof ndmlnlstcicd by faelr monarch In theco davs men wero so de pendent upon their superiors that ny brench of trust wis liable to be attended by serious contequences. INCENTIVE It was no ordinary mo tive that Incited tho king to the resolute execution of his pin pose, ills person il loaltv to God, combined with his desire to restore the worship of Jehovah, would have been sufficient to sustuln lilm In so laudable nn undertaking. But besides these conslricratlrns there was the unholy conduct of his predecessor In conttast with tho righteous iclgns of Asa and Je hoshaphat. It was the act of Athallao, "that wicked woman ' nnd of her sons that hod broken up the house of tho Lo"il and had destrejeel or misused tho saci'd things (vcri-e T) Atliull ill vvns u mur deress (If Chron x. 10) She came to power with hands stained In blood of tho lojnl seed She would have put Joash tn death but foi the Interposition of Jelios.l nbeath, the wife of Jel oida Jeiash thcr' foro felt that as iiari bee p spared througn tho klndress of the pilest's household ho was obligated to undo the mischief wrought by this iiRont of Satan, thnt her name and Influences might not be con tinued In tho land. TKEASUnY.-HivIng stlircd up the ot ccr.s to do their duty tho king pic pared a. ticasury (verses S und '.') A dun or box was constiucted with n hole In the lid (11 Kings Nil, S). This box was made conspic uous In several vajs Tirst, It was set beside tho altar on the liaht side as ono inteied the house of tho Lord, tho place being chosen to attract the attention of nil. Second the priests who kept the door, who weio the custodians and the eoneluctois of lellglous excriise.s In their outward or initial forms were station' d near this box nhle nt all times bv the functions of their ofllco to give It promi nence Third, this being done a proclo niatlun was mule, not in Jcrtmlom onlv, but In all p.uts of Judih us well, that K throughout the entire 1 ind (verse )), c ill. lng attention to the fact that the treas ury was esabllshcd, and piobablv an nouncing the purpose for which money was desired By these provisions it will appear that the king's method was changed. In the beginnlg he directed Hie priests und Levltes to go Into the cities and collect (verse 1). Now he orders tho peoplo to bring their gifts. OITEIUNG -The remit of this new method was gratlfjlng First, there was general rejoicing among the princes nnd STRIKING CONTRASTS. DiiYeiences in the American, Spanish nnd Cuban Soldiers. Cuban Correspondence London Chronicle The American soldier, tho ptlvato In the ranks, Is magnificent. The per centage of men rejected to those ac cepted is unknown in any other ser vice. The very small standing at my makes It possible for tho men to be selected with tho greatest care, both as legal els their physical, moral and Intellectual rcquliements. Of every hundred men who seek employment, ninety of them are rejected, w hich In sures tho accepted ten being veiy nar lowly picked over Even now, when tho emergency icquired tho lesimcnts to be reciulted above tho peace strength, the general average has not been much reduced, and tho recruit who knew nothing of soldleilng until n lew weeks ago has born fatigue as v'll as the seasoned veteran, and stood unnio"ed while the bullets went whis tling over his head. The conttast between the Ameiican and Spanish soldier Is as striking phy.slc.oll ns it Is every other way. The Aineilc.on pilvnte Is luoacl-shoul-dercd and well set up- the Spanlatd Is small and lithe. Put the greatest con trast Is ti- their Intellectuol status. The American soldier not only follows tho plan of campaign with Intelligence, but has his own plan, which he fre eiuently conMdeuuto he better than his olllcers' The Spanish private knows nothing of what goes on around him Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder Cut Off the Ravages of Catarrh in a twinkling. While the pulpit has chronicled many wonderful heallDgs from Catarrh by this wonder ful remedy, the press presents its quota of equally marvellous and credible cures. Chas C Brown, manager of tho Independent Press Bureau of Duluth, Minn , suffered from throat and nasal Catarrh for over 20 jears, saj s he spent a small fortune in trying to rid himself of what he terms "the disgusting malady," and to use his own words, " without relief until I tried your incomparable remedy, and I want to add my mite to the sum total of general approval " rifteen minutes after the first application of Dr Agnew's Catarrhal Powder he got relief, and three bottles have completely eradicated the whole Catarrh taint from his system and left him a permanently cured man, and he courts correspondence regarding his case.

The money being pro vided tho work vvns prosecuted with vigor (veises 12 and J3). The king nnd Jeholc'a gave personal supervision, being united In their design and having a common in terest. Three classes ot workmen were cmploveel carpenters, those who wrought In wood, masons, those who wrought in slum und metallurgists those who vvotked In Iron nnd brass This enumera tion shows how greatly the house hot lullcn to decay anil how general and thoi. ough was the renovation Moreover, tho hired mon received their wnge-s promptly It was mi old-time economic principle or lulo among tho Jews that wages should not bo kept bock even over the nlgnt (Lev. xlv, 13), nnd under ( hrlstianltv it was said tint tho complaint of tho op pressed workman wns'lfc.irri In heaven (James v, 4) So tho gl id hearted and well-paid tellers continued their labou, until the temple built by Solomon was fully restored to Its orlRhnl beautv, roadv for tho oillces of worship Once more It shone In the morning sun ns tho beams kisseel tho dome, the pride ot the people (Ps dm cx.xil, 2).

And as Interesting as both the Amer ican and Spanish soldier Is the Cuban Smaller even than the spanlatcl. living on nothing, and ragged, ho has brought Spain to her knees. The Cuban, of course. Is a fanatic solely. I imagine thnt very few of the natives have any comprehension of tho meonlng of the woid liberty, although they know very well that Spain hns oppressed them, and anything is better than a continu ance of Spanish rule. An one sees the Cubans their brown bodies visible through their i.oga, their general air of neglect, he may laugh at the Cuban Idea of soldiering, but he must still tespect them for what they i,aNe donc.
