LESSON FOR JULY 13
i.-v-
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
-JJUTIES TO GOD.
Ex. xx:l-ll.
by nnv. j. n. oildeiit, d. d.
BeereUrjr of American Society of Itellfflom
Kduntlon.
INTHODL'CTION.-Two months after
tho events recorded In our last lesson, or
three months after leaving Egypt (Ex
odus, xl::, 1), Israel reached the plain of
Slnnl, where an encampment was mado
for nearly a year. That time was all oc
cupied with arrangements necessary to
tho setting up of a system of government
and religion. Up to that tlmo the family
had been the unit, nnd that had gradual
ly expanded until tho tilbal system pre
vailed. For tho further und fuller pur
pose of God tho twelve tribes, bearing
tho names of Jacob's sons, must bo com
pactly Joined together, not losing their
old spirit, but gulnlng In moro perfect
form tho Idea, ot unity, that they might
stand togetho'r for the ono great thought
which had led Abram from Ur of the
Chaldecs Into tho promised land. These
peoplo had much to learn. Having been
long in bondage they were, ignorant of
many of tho leading, and, Indeed, essen
tial features of advanced civilization. In
struction must bo given on many points
which nro now. well understood.
DECALOGUE.-It Is worthy of special
noto that tho beginning was laid In a
scries of commandments, what Is ordin
arily termed the decalogue, or the ten
words. This was virtually the constitu
tion, the foundation on which everything
vested, a kind of charter, the Hrst In
the language of men. Considering the
timo when It was promulgated and the
fact that It has never been abrogated,
although thlrty-threo centuries have
passed away; It Is ono of the most re
markable documents in political history,
oven now admired by theologians, states
men and philosophers. The decalogue
was delivered by God to Moses, who
called him up Into Mount Sinai alone to
receive It. This method Invested It with
peculiar sanctity, causing tho peoplo to
hold It with utmost reverence, as worthy
of their constant care. Tho decalogue Is
In two tables, or parts ono covering du
ties to God, tho other duties to men. We
shall study tho Hist part today.
POLYTHEISM. "Thou shalt have no
other gods before me." In the attempt
to explain natural phenomena and human
history, tho ancients multiplied deities,
nnd introduced various rites to placate
them. This habit resulted hi Innumerable
evils, which could not be corrected until
the cause was removed (Romans, I, 28.)
In setting apart a people for himself the
Almighty therefore began His covenant
by claiming the solo nnd nbsolute loyalty
and service of Israel, enforcing It by tho
consideration that He had liberated them
and brought them forth. (Verso 2.) Ho
thus gave to this peoplo the high mission
of holding and propagating tho doctrine
of tho divine unity until the whole human
family should receive It. (Isaiah, si, 9.)
How unfaithful they were to this mono
theistic idea their history shows. (II
Kings, xvli, 7.)
IDOLATRY. "Thou shalt not mako
any graven imago" to worslilp. It Is tho
natural tendency of an undeveloped mind
to locate the deity and give Him foim,
thereby hoping to come into moro inti
mate relations. But this exercises a most
degrading nnd corrupting influenco upon
the devotee (Romans, i, 23), as appears
in tho condition of the whole heathen
world. Man becomes like that ho wor
ships. God Is a spirit (John, Iv, 24), un
created, Invisible, immortal. Ho has
neither body nor parts. He Is omniscient
and omnipresent. This exalted view of
Him Is a prima condition of acceptable
and profitable approach. One who comes
to such a being Is drawn upward out of
the material and sensuous Into tho realm
whore tho dominant forces play. To for
bid Idols was, therefore, necessary in
training Israel, and In training tho raco
toward that new manhood destined to bo
realized in Jesus Christ (Romans, vill, 6),
who is tho way and the riatlorn.
PROFANlTY.-'Thou shalt not take
tho name of thy God In vain." Reverence
for God Is as necessary as a conviction of
Ills spirituality. It is indeed the begin
ning of wisdom (Psalm. cxI, 10) and ot
every virtue. To exalt Him In one's
thought promotes humility and trust, and
theso minister constantly to tho higher
elements of character. (Proverbs, xv, 33.)
Tho very name npplled to tho Deity, Al
mighty, Jehovah, God, whatovor it may
be, educates, because It convoys certain
Ideas to tho mind and produces appropri
ate emotions. Hence, also, the manner
In which tho name is pronounced is a
matter of great Importance, It is said
that ojio name ot God was hold so sacred
by tho Jews that they never spoke It, In
their reading they passed It in silence. To
enforce this third command, blasphemy
was punished with death (Leviticus, xxiv,
10), and the whole congregation, by ston
ing the criminal, expressed their abhor
rence of Ids sin.
INDUSTRY.-After three negative or
prohibitory commands there ramo onu
positive and mandatory In two parts, re.
forcing lo the use of time. Six-sevenths
of one's days should bo devoted to work
In secular nffalrs. (Verse 11.) This was
needful at that tlmo among people who
had been slaves and who might deslro to
escape work, who wero fed with manna
from heaven and had less reason on that
account for work. It was also necessary
for all time. At the beginning man in
ids Iminccnco had tasks. (Genesis, , 19.)
In setting up a nation nnd preparing it
for its future, tho Alinlehly deemed It
essential to enjoin Industry, to innko tho
week day work a duty nnd an honor,
Not by Idleness which Is always iIsr-iico-ful
and dangerous (Proverbs, vl, (i). but
by honest toll may fortunes bo bullded,
characters developed, wealth acquired,
and coveted good secured, Labor Is the
price to bo paid In all landB and ages
for overy personal and national blessing.
This Is God's word on the subject. .
SABRATII. Thoro might bo correct
notions of God and yet llttlo religion.
Nesallons might prevent bad actions
there Is needed something positive to pro
moto and support a holy life, If a part
of time was allotted for secular things
It was as well lo havo another nart for
tnered things. A holy day was there-
fore appointed, ono In overy week, follow,
lag all t)io work days. Six dai of work
and one day of rest. (Verse W.) Tho
lauuuago in which this command Is giv
en Indicates that It Is pot a new enact
meat, but an old law re-enacted. "Re
member'' slgnllles something tlint has ex
isted and Is (o bo carried forward. The
argument for a prlmltlvo Sabbath, ob
served )u the time of Noah and In tho
wilderness (Exodus, xy, 5), lias been fre
quently imuto and Is regarded by tome
bcholurs ns conclusive. But whether
there has been a dlv(no Institution co.
ovul with the m.t mid therefore bind
TRIBUNE - SATURDAY,
ing upon nit men (Murk, II, 27), as la hlp.li
ly probable, It Is noW-ndmUlcd1by all. that
tho day-sacredly observed Is suited to tho
highest mental, moral and social good
Of man Under every form of civilization.
Its appointment hero was thoreforo an
act of great wIsHom,
CREATtON,-As nn Inccnlivo to the la
bor of tho six days and tho rest of thu
seventh day Clod presented Ills own act of
creation, During six periods of tlmo ot
uncertain length (The Hebrew word yom,
translated day, hail no equivalent in our
language), tho Almighty had worked hi
the physical, nnd on the seventh period
Ho laid retired Into tho contemplation
und movements uf" the spiritual (Go).
llil-3), This reference Is Immensely im
portant. It rIvcs sanction to the account
of creation, which sonic havo regarded n
legend, but which Is hero treated as his
tory. Moreover, tho conduct ot men in
the uso of tlmo Is to he regulated by tho
Very constitution ot things. Tho material
universe Is constructed on tho septenary
plan. Ho who caused nil things has Im
pressed upon nil llilnsH Ids own law,
and that manifests Its wisdom by Its
ndoptnllon to human needs. It amounts,
thoreforo, to this that God's law of time
Is simply n declaration of tho nature and
illness of things.
REFLECTIONS.-!. These four laws
(tho one on tlmo being In two parts) rest
ed upon an authority which deserved to
bo respected by Israel, Ood claimed the
light to govern because ho had been tho
deliverer from bondage (verse 2). llo
might have rested his commands upon
his sovereignty, but that would not havo
been so easily understood. Every man
knew the, galling slavery. In Egypt nnd
rejoiced In tho freedom. Tho appeal to
tho sense of gratitude for mercy would
bo moro effective." 2. Piety, a vlght re
lation to God, lies nt tho basis of good
character, and ronseqpcntly of good gov
ernment. Allcglaiico to ono God. nn ln
llnltc spirit who cannot bo represented In
material form, and reverence for, his
iinmo Is tho beginning' ot wisdom and
virtue (Prow lx:10). tho germ of lofty
thought nnd holy desire. All tho' great
nations of the world havo boon raon
thcistlc. 3. The proper uso df tlmo, as
tho first gift of God, s the most valu
able of all our possessions In this life,
Is nn clement of piety. Ho must divide
our tlmo under two heads one. having
chief reference to tills world, the other
to the unseen world, and all ns leading
to Just conceptions of God's plan ot liv
ing. The work days and the rest days
succeeding each other onoblo life.

who recently spent six mouths traveling
through Japan, China, and tho Philippines
for the purpose of soliciting trade, af
fords good evidence that there i3 much
commerce to be secured by Amerlcaus if
It Is properly sought. These young men
studied the Chinese language in Sail Fran
cisco and acquired a sufficient knowledge
of it to make themselves understood
They had, therefore, the great advantage
ot being able to do business directly with
their Chinese, customers. As It was their
ilrst trip to the Orient, they did not bring
a largo variety of samples, but the re
sults havo been so encouraging that they
propose to return equipped with an en
larged outfit. Tho method pursued by
these young men Is worthy the attention
of our manufacturers. I have received a
letter from the salesmen who mado this
experimental trip during the' past year, in
which they tell of what they havo accom
plished. In speaking of cotton piece
goods, they refe'r to tho market In south
ern China. The letter, which may be ot
interest to American manufacturers look
ing for trade in the Orient reads:
"As wo did not know exactly what class
of goods of American manufacture the
market lias required, wo came to mako a
test, and brought with us the following
lines: American watches, rings, lockets,
coIIrj- and cuff buttons, watch chains,
electrical supplies, clocks, cotton piece
goods, etc., all of which wo pushed to the
utmost.
"Watches. Notwithstanding tho fact
that at present Swiss watches have tho
greatest sale, with those of French mako
a close second, we had no difficulty in
obtaining good orders, even though our
prices wero a trifle higher than those
asked for European goods.
"Watch chains. In this line, wo found
trade very good, our only drawback us
ing that wo did not have tho patterns de
sired, although the juices asked were
satisfactory, if wo had had the patterns
desired, In the quality of otif samples, our
orders would havo been trebled.
"Jewelry. In tho general lines of jew
elry, rings, etc., we had a very good trade
and wo found a fair demand for Ameri
can plated jewelry of all descriptions.
"Clocks. Our line of clock Is a low
priced one, but oven so, oar prices could
not comparo with those nsked for clocks
of Japanese mako; therefore wo could not
compote.
"Electrlcnl goods. Wo had an excellent
trade In electrical supplies, and found the
Chinese ready buyers of American goods.
"Cotton piece goods. Wo regret exceed
Ingly to report that, owing to the lack
of enterprlso shown by our manufacturers
nt home In not attempting to enter to
tho wants of this market regarding
widths, lengths and qualities desired, wo
wero unable to obtain any business from
tho Chinese, for tho reason that the
qualities weie too (Ino and the prices loo
high for tho market. In fact, for somo of
our goods the prices wo wero expected to
got wero double those asked by our Eu
ropean competitors foi products of an
equal grade. Wo will add that wo found
tho Chinese very much Interested In
American cotton goods, and, wero It not
for the handicaps above stated, America
would today be getting her fhaio of tho
piece-goods trade hi this market,
"Soliciting trade. Tho trade solicitor
employed by commission houses through,
out China Is a being known as tho "mar
hot shroff," who, us n, rule, performs tho
combined duties of a salesman nnd col
lector. As a general thing, his only
qualification, for filling tho position Is that
he can cairy on a conversation In "pid
gin English." Judged from the stand
point of an American, ho Is a rank fall
urn as a salesman, As an Illustration, wo
will stato that on our arrival In Shanghai
It was our Intention to g" after tho tratlo
with tho assistance of "shroff" who
was recommended to us, hut after show
ing him our samples nnd being Informed
by him that they wore not suitable for
tho market, wo decided thut this' was only
his opinion, and that wo would go from
shop to shop with our samples and satis
fy ourselves. This wo did, with tho re
sult that on tho goods which tho shroff
condemned, wo met with great success.
We also find that the .fttct that wo speak
tho Chlneso lauuuago has had great
weight with tho merchants.
"Payments. All our bills sold were paid
on tho letter-of-credlt basis.
"Prospects for future iiusiness, In our
opinion, there Is a splendid opening In
China for American-mado goods, and wo
aro now hurrying home, ariued with sam
ples of goods, together with the prices at
which thoy aro told in the Chlneso mar
ket, and copious notcH regarding classes
of goods In which tho United States is
not represented hi tha Held, which wo

DOMESTIC SCIENCE
"Something cold"!a tho nlmost uni
versal refrain theso days, when the
question comes up, "What shall wo
cat or what shall wo drink?" Fortu
nate, Indeed, for tho cook thnt "cold
things"' are ensy to prepare, that near
ly everything can be made In tho cool
ot tho day, and that they llnd nlmo3t
universal acceptance,
"I nlways thought cold victual nice,
My cliolco would bo vanilla Ice,"
snug the genial Autocrat at tho
Breakfast Table, years ago, and near
ly every ono agrees with him,
Tho making of frozen dishes was
once very elaborate; but Improved
methods nnd utensils have simplified
tho operation until now tho veriest
tyro may bo ntire of success If certain
rules nro followed.
Of course, tho mixture to bo frozen
must bo cold when put In tho freezer.
Tho Ico should bo crushod as lino as
possible and a third as much rock salt
as Ico used. Tho easiest way to crush
tho leo Is to put It In a stout gunny
sack and pound It tine with a hammer
or tho back of an axe. Having mndo
tho cream nnd poured It Into the can,
set it in tho wooden tub and place
around it alternate layers of crushed
lee rtnd salt. Let tho layers of Ico bo
two or three inches deep, with ono
Inch of salt sprinkled ovenly ovor tha
Ice. Let the Ico mixture como a few
Inches above tho cream In tho can.
Now for tho freezing, which should
be done very slowly nt Ilrst, as rapid
turning makes a lumpy cream. About
five hundred revolutions will usually
suffice to freeze the cream. Ono ex
tremely methodical man who prides
himself on the velvety smoothness ot
tho Iced products which he says ho
has frozen for the homo dessert every
Sunday for twenty years, turns tho
crank just one hundred times, then
rests llvo minutes, turns a second hun
dred, rests again and finishes with tho
third hundred. This occupies about
twenty minutes in all.
When sufficiently frozen, remove tho
dasher, replaco the lid and cork tight
ly. If tho cream nr Ico Is tn ho nerved
$" within un hour, no more ico will be
needed; Simply push tho can down
Into tho Ice, put a weight on top to
hold it and cover with a piece of old
enrpetlng. Sherbets and Ices are real
ly better to be served as soon as pos
sible after freezing.
Tho methodical man before men
tioned only begins freezing his Ico
when his wife commences to set the
table. Cream, however, Is richer If al
lowed to "ripen" several hours before
using. In this case draw oft tho su-
perfluous water, pack with more Ico
nnd salt, cover and stand away In a
cool placo until ready to serve. If
these directions aro carefully fol
lowed, tho cream should bo smooth
and velvety, perfectly freo from
lumps. When a granular consistency
is required, as in frappes, use a larger
proportion of salt.
in the following recipes are to be
found somo tempting summer deserts,
and this Is a lemon sherbet, for which
one of tho best known ranches in Ari
zona. Is famous:
Six lemons, scant two quarts of
water, ono pint of sugar, one table
spoonful of gelatine. Put tne water
nnd susnr on to boll In n clean nasln.
Boll until clear, skimming if neces
sary. Meanwhile squeeze tho lemons,
and grate a little of the yellow peel
into tho Juice. Dlssolvo ono table
spoonful of gelatine In a llttlo bit of
cold water, heating it over tho tea
kettle. When the syrup is clear, pour
Into tho lemon juice, to which tho
gelatine has also been added. Freeze.
Tho beaten white of an egg may bo
substituted for the gelatlno to glvo
body.

ica. CONGRESSMAN KAHN OF CALI
FORNIA ON PHILIPPINES.
I have been rather astonished at the
statements made from time to time by
my friends on the other side of tho
chamber, who likewise had visited the
islands last summer. They seemed to
llnd llttlo or nothing to commend in the
Islands, tho native inhabitants, or the
American soldiers nnd civilians who
were there in the service of their coun
try, nnd I understand from their re
marks thnt they favor tho abandon
ment of our policy and the withdrawal
of our forces as speedily ns possible.
Sir, In thnt connection I am reminded
of a llttlo Btory that Max O'Rell, the
brilliant French wit and satirist, told
in the coui'so of his lecture on "Jonath
an and his Continent." In his Inimit
able way he stated that he had occa
sion to visit Milwaukee some yeurs
ngo and soon after his arrival thero ho
was Invited to listen to an address by a
Mr, Johnson on "Purls, the Wicked
City."
Being a Parisian, Mr. O'Rell was nat
urally interested In learning what an
American would havo to say about tho
gay capital of Franco and he promptly
accepted the Invitation. Tho lecture
was delivered In a church nnd Mr.
O'Rell was given a front seat. Mr.
Johnson commenced Ida discourse and
took his auditors from nno den of In
iquity Into another. He pictured tho
wretchedness, the misery, the tilth, ami
tho licentiousness of "Gny Puree," and
ended with a magnificent peroration
admonishing all God.feurlng Christian
people, ns they valued their souls, to
abstain from visiting that "hell of im
morality," By this time Mr, O'Rell concluded
that Paris needed a defender, mid he
asked permission of ono of the elders of
the congregation to say a few words u
reply, which permission was cheer
fully accorded him. "I never knew un
tl,l tills hour how wicked and demoral
izing Paris was, but In all fairness I
desire (o ask Mr, Johnson a few ques
tlons. Did ho go to tho Louvre and
look upon the magnificent paintings of
the musters of the nenaU-suuce and
also those of our own era? And was
ho not Inspired by the sight,? Did he
look upon the masterpieces uf the
world's great sculptors, uml did not his
heart beat in rapturous admiration at

Hero Is a Calsktll recipe for the va
nllla cream that cannot bo excelled:
Bent the yolks of four eggs until
lemon-colored and thick. Add ono

or milk which has Just been brought
to tho boiling point. Cook two min
utes in a double bollor; no longer. Stir
in the whites of four eggs, beaten un
til stiff, a tcaspoonful and a half ot
vanilla and half a tcaspoonful of nl
mond. When cool add a quart (11 pint

two ounces grnted chocolate or cocn.i
with two cnpfuls granulated sugar,
one-half cupful water, a tablespoonful

cinnamon. Cook until tho mixture
forms n soft ball, when dropped in
cold water. Removo the stick cinna
mon, add a few drops of vanilla, pour
into a pretty pitcher and sent uboiit
with the cream, to bo poured over It.
Tho maple sugar sauco with walnuts
is a llttlo newer than tho chocolate;
but either is so good that a, cliolco be

those wonderful creations of the sculp

"Did he go to the Champs Klysee and

sounds, the productions of the world's
greatest musical composers, for the ed
ification of Jacques Bonhomnie and his

An Interesting Exnmple of It Shown
by Pierpont Morgan.
From tho World's Work.
A fow years ngo u Wall street firm
was agent for a coterie of street rail
road capitalists in Philadelphia. The
agents held about 60,000 shares of stock
for the capitalists on margin shares
that the Phlludclphluns were under
moral obligations to control. Ono day
the agents sent word to the Phlhulel
philips that those shares must he taken
up nt once or they would b thrown
on the market. The New York men
knew thut It would be Impossible for
the Pennsylvnnliins to take up those
stacks on such short notice, Antici
pating their failure to do so, the Now
York ugents hud agreed to sell nt a
low price far more of the stock than
they had held. They expected that
when the CO.Opo sliure.s were cast upon
tho market, they would be able tu buy
at a still lower price all that was need
ed to till tjier own contracts, and that
a heavy gain would bo made. This was
a scheme thut in other years .would
have worked, and to the serious injury
of many more than those Immediately
concerned.
