wjuur'w .; vr i a a a Brown Eyes or Blue? By JOSEPH When Elolse's lover remarked that he pbmninated bine eyes In women be cause they were often tricky and de ceitful. It wan not to be marveled at that Elolse'B big violet orbs widened firm In surprise, then In Indlgnntlon and finally In the worst sort of wound ed love and prldo. How did she know that Koyco was color blind? She would not lower herself to do mund nn explanation of Roycc's rude ness; that It was deliberate ami cruel was obvious. Furthermore, such un observation could have been prompted only by some bidden motive whether df resentment or puro malice Bhe did not know and did not enro. Tim result was the samo, and self respect left her no alternative but to break the en gagement at once and without the abasement cf words or a sceno. This she did by returning by express a dry goods box full of the accumuated presents of six months and the be trothal ring by registered mall. The frigid farewell she had accord ed him the night before had prepared Noyce In part for what was coming. How had he offended her? They had had Innumerable differences dur ing tlio brief period of their engage ment, but these had been followed In evitably by explanations and ecstatic adjustments. She was leaving no ave nue open to him now. Sho had dis missed him with a cold formality that signified one thing she had made a ndstake In her choice and wanted it rectified before It was too late. She did not love him (hat was manifest. And nothing else mattered. For a long time Royce sat In thought. Should he go to her, force rr cncinnatii SHE car iv sharply me oceept her to show her hand and take his medicine like a man? Or ought ho to accept her rebuff ns final, maintain something of her own silent proud iiess, and go his way? At this point Fato solved the prob lent for him In tho shape of an urgent telegram summoning him west nt iince on Important business. He would lii.ve to take a C:10 train for Chicago and tliero was enough work at the utliiv to keep him busy tho entire aft ernoon. Perhaps by. tho time he re turned his nt bulous thoughts would have assumed rational form. Two hours Infer, on tho way to luncheon, Noyce's feelings had under gone a change. Passing a familiar florist's shop, he paused almost uncon sciously and bought a huge bunch of violets. Elolse had worn violets tho first time he saw her; he had carried them to her on the night of her bo thrnthal nnd well, It couldn't matter so much one way or the other If be snt her some now, by way of fnrewoll, with a brief lino regarding his depart ure. It would serve to soften tho break. If nothing more, and prove to her that lie silll cherished something of the old sentiment If she did not. He scribbled a short message across one of his visiting cards, paid for his purc hase nnd left the address for de livery. Then, with Ills heart Beveral degrees lighter and eyes loss hopeless, he swung on down tho avenue. Klolse packed her trunk between spells of grim silence and Irresistible "inbreaks of tears. It wns only too true that he had stopped caring for her after all. else the salutary step sho had taken would have elicited some protest, some Inquiry. Ho had slung her Into the act by a contempt ible Innuendo and shown further bow neatly she had fallen Into the trap. He was glad of it, glad to be free. As luck would have It an luvltatlon had come the day previous begging lier to come to Cincinnati for the fewer festival. The litter was from an old school friend, and Velna Pros- "Turned Down" J- H. Halo, the millionaire fruit grower of South Glastonbury, Conn.. 'ho la known all over the country as oiio of the largest peach growers In tho woiid, Is perhaps the only man In the country who ever "turned down" a unanimous election as United States wmator. Mr. Hale owns something like 350,000 fruit trees in Georgia. It cost him Inst year nearly $160,000 merely to put his enormous crop on the market, but he is oe of tho most delightfully unostentatious men In Connecticut. Ho haB always been Interested In movements for the betterment of his town and state. Some few years ago no was tendered the election as sen ator "on a silver plntter" as Li aptly Put It. When waited upon by the leg "lntlve committee Mr. Hale literally uhl up his hands. "tlentlemen," he said, "I don't want o he cBrted tQ your augugt 8enat0 ;ay 1 don't. I'd rather be a farm ,r "C8lleB-there's more money In And Mr. Hale, who has gained imw AM, n n A. PALCAR ton's name at the end of It suggested no end of glittering possibilities for b gay perhaps a desperate fortnight, mused Elolse. Site waited six hours for some shallow of response from Noyce to the packages she had sent; then, with a broken heart and a brain teeming with reckless resolutions, she began to take out her clothes and pack them for tho trip. At four o'clock she snddenly remem bered that sho hud not time to write nnd must send a telegram to her friend stating when to expect her. Sho ran to the telephone only to find that It was "dead." The nearest neigh bor was a block away, but that tele grim was essential, nnd, snatching up a scarf, she wound It about her head and hurried down to the Kelceys. Anl'a Kelecy met her at the door. Sho vore a mammoth bunch of violets In her belt. Tho odor of them camo In a sickening rush to Elolse's senses, but she trampled down her feeling, uu she said, lightly: "What exqulslto blossoms! Whero did you get them?" "The queerest thing," replied the other girl. "A boy brought them up about noon from Mllford Noyce. It seetnH he's going off on a business trip to be absent some time. Iiut I can't Imagine why bo should have sent mo the flowers except that we used to be good friends and I had a sort of half way engagement to go with him to tho opera next week. Hut of course you know all about his going" "Oh er yes yes, of course. Rut I came to ask tho use of your phono for a moment, dear. Ours Is out or order and I'm rushed to death to get away on that six o'clock train for Cin cinnati." Elolse never knew how she got through with her message nor how she got out of the liouso without betray Ins herself. Anita Kelccy! Of all girls In the world she was the very last she would have dreamed of as a rival. At 5:30 she was ready for tho Jour ney. At 6:35 she stepped Into a taxi cab and was whirled toward the sta tion. She took up her position In line at the ticket offtco and waited Impa tiently for her turn to come to secure transportation and got aboard her train. As she turned from tho window the hot blood splurged to hor cheeks; lier gaze trembled bewllderlngly Into the earnest, all-at-onco entreating eyes of the man who had yesterday been dear er than all others. "Elolse!" The name escaped him Involuntarily; ho took a quick step toward her, every resolution of the morning forgotten. Rut the girl lifte.l her head with a swift touch of dignity and passed him with a cold noil of recognition. In a second ho was beside her. Her Indif ference maddened him, and casting prudence to tho winds Royce blurted out the first thing that came into his thought. "For heaven's sake, whnt Is It? Why why aren't you wearing my vio lets?" Thoso violets! Could It he possible that they bad been meant for her In stead of Anita Kelcey? Her mind worked rapidly. Ah! That explained tho dozen American beauties sent to her by young Hoc tor Rrean that morn ing they were Anita's; tho delivery boy had got things mixed. She half opened her lips to speak, when sho suddenly remembered that Indignity of the previous night. Then she began to walk mpldly dowri tho platform, Noyce keeping Imperturbable step at her side. "Where are you going?" ho asked her sternly, "it seems to me that after everything, you owe me somo tri fling" "Cincinnati!" she cut In sharply, "the green car over there" "The bluo car, with tho diner at tached, you mean." Elolse stood stock still and stared Into Mllford Royco's perplexed face. "Mllford!" she exclalmod, relief and amusement struggling for the mastery of her pretty features, "look at me! Whnt color are my eyes?" "Your eyes? Why, brown, of course." He looked at her stupidly. "You haven't been crying, have you?" A train bell rang. With his hand on her arm, Royce hurried her Into tho chair car. "Oh, dear!" cried the girl, as the train pulled out. "this car Is going to Chicago." "Po are we. little girl." "Hut but you don't understand. I have an engagement with" "You had a prior one with me. I shall -tako you straight to my broth er's house. He's a bishop, you know " The world grew suddenly black.

Asa'a great victory over the Invading Hthloplun was gulned at Atureatiah, 'S nillca aouthweat of Jeru aulem. Asa was the grandson of Rehoboam. His grandmother, the queen-mother at the beginning of his reign, was Maa chah, an Idolatress who hud set up an Idol and Its debased worship In Jerusalem. Apparently Asa was quite a young man when ho came to the throne, perhaps twenty years old. Asa lived In a corrupt court, under the Influences of an Idolatrous grand mother, surrounded by Idolatry, flat tend by courtiers. Ills fulher and his grandfather were neither of them good character for a boy to look up to. There were also some good Influ ences from godly men and the temple worship, the good priests and their teaching of tho Word of God. Ho looked out upon his father's kingdom, and upon the northern king dom, and saw what was going on; tho Idolatries and the evils that followed In their train, and the heathen na tions and the fruits of Idolatry In them. His heart burned within blni, and urged him on to reform. There are two possible effects of the presence of great and prevailing evils. Some are overwhelmed by their power and attractions, and becomo a part of their downward tide. Others are repelled by them, hate them with a perfect hatred, and arouse all their being to destroy thera. We all know instances of this. One of the best business men of my acquaintance lived when a boy amid the vilest sur roundings. Rut he had open eys. He saw the effect of laziness, aud re solved not to be lazy. He saw the ef.'ects of drinking and smoking, and res-ilved not to drink or smoke. He saw tho degrading effects of profanity, nnd he determined not to swear. And bo through the whole list. So Asa "did that which was right In the sight of the Lord, as did David his father." Asa Immediately began his reforms. There was a period of ten years of rest from extornal attack. In these years Asa himself did right and obeyed God. His example stood out before all his people. It Is a great thing to have rulers who are true ex amples of goodness. This Is the source of the greatest power any per son can have over another. He taught hits people the word to God, to seek God, to keep Ills com mandments. Education, knowledge of right and wrong, are the guides of the Impulses to seek God. From Egypt In the southwest there came up an immense host, one million Btrong, with three hundred chariots, and like nil early Orlentnl armies, living on tho country, consuming the crops, burning the houses, capturing futilities, and leaving devastation nnd ruin behind them, like n tiro on the prairies, or tho grasshoppers on a farm. They had reached Maresbah, twenty-five miles from Jerusalem. No wonder tho people, were terrified. Hut Asa used both faith nnd works. Ho went out with his nrmy, and llko Cromwell with his Ironsides, "cried unto the I.ord his God, nnd said, 'Lord, it Is nothing with thee, to help, whether with ninny, or with them that havo no power; help us, O Lord our God; for wo rest on thee, and In thy name wo go against this multitude. O Lord, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.'" It was God's cause as well as the peoplo's, nnd they were strong In that trust. The Ethi opians were overthrown, and their spoil fell Into the hands of the Juuali ites. The people entered Into a covenant to seek the Lord. This wns llko tho public profession of Bervlng Jesus Christ when Joining the church. Some seem to think that they can be as good nnd as useful without a profes sion ns with the covenant relation with others, and public vows to obey Jesus Christ and our Father In heaven. Hut this Is a mistaken feeling. A public covenant gives one a far greater Influence for good. It makes known your valuation ' of the cnuse. It makes each Individual stronger. The principles In the work of King Asa apply to our own times, but are to be worked out In ways adapted to modern life. "The church Is an army on duty ,an army for the Christian conquest of the world by loving faith fulness." There are great evils io be driven out of our country. The whole land Is waking up to realize the need of civic righteousness. . There Is al ways need of awakening new reform ing zeal. For every step we gain gives us views of new needs, and new Ideals. Religious consecration to God und Ills kingdom Is needed not only for ourselves, but for our country. Pres ident Garfield In bin Inaugural ad dress says: "To fall to give our young men a Bense and appreciation of the dynamic force of religious faith In the progress of, human affairs. Is to leave them Ignorant of the greatest and' most profound fact of history." Today religion lies at the founda tion of our nutloiml hopes and of our Individual character.

One of the most recent contribu tions to medical literature deals with an original mothod of treating chronic alcoholism. Tho writer, Dr. J. W. Kcnney of Snn Antonio, Tex., declares that the only mentis of curing alco holics Is by surgery. In proof of his contention ho cites a series of cases so treated by him, asserting that in a majority of them a euro wns effect ed. His article, entitled "Tho Alco holic Case and a Surgical Operation for the Cure of Chronic Alcoholism," appears In the current Issuo of the Texas Medical Journal. Doctor Kenney's method Is to make an artificial opening In tho stomach loop up tho Jejunum (a part of tho Intestine), make an artificial opening In the Jejunum, and unite the two ar tificial openings. The operation Is culled gastrojejunostomy. Here nro Doctor Kenney's reasons for resort ing to this operation: "1. Hecause medical trentment falls In a majority If not all rases, and must necessarily contlnuo to fall be cause It does not remove tho cause of tho gnawing or craving for alcohol. "2. Hecause the pathological condi tion cnused by alcohol Is almost Iden tical with pathological cor. Iltioiis pro duced by other causes which are ro llcved by surgical treatment. "The drunkard In giving a history of his case usually points to his stom ach as tho cause of his drinking. Very few claim that the taste for liquor has anything to do with It. In the stont nch will also be found tho first evi dence that the physical basis of life protoplasm has been Injured and the physical structure or that organ Is tho first to present pathological condi tions. "It bns been proved that alcohol stimulates the action of the senses and organs of the body for a short time. This supranornial condition Is quickly followed by tho Infra-normal, which Indicates a partial paralysis of the nerve ends, and untuully of the uervo centers. "Continued repetition of this proc ess results in hardening and partial paralysis of the musculur coat of the stomach, nnd an Inflamed or ulcerated condition of the mucous coat. Such a condition produces a vitiated appetite and Impairs the action, of the stom ach, which Is the most Important of tho digestive processes. To relieve this condition, when produced by any agent other than alcohol, surgical nuitsures are demanded. Why not apply the samo principle In tho alco holic case? "Reasoning along this lino con vinced me that all hope of curing a case of chronic alcoholism lay In a surgical direction, and I resolved to try tho operation that I had In mind upon the first caso that would grant mo the privilege. An Ideal case soon presented Itself a young man of high degreo, who bad descended to the lowest depths of salooudotii. and hud floundered about In It for sev eral years, presented himself with tho request that I do something for him. "After a two weeks' preparatory treatment, a posterior gastrojejunos tomy by simple suture was performed upon him. lie left the hospital thirty days later. This patient was about thlrty-llvo years old, nnd had been drinking for about ten years. During the last three years business bad so Intorfered wilh bis drinking that ho quit business and drank day and night, consuming from one to two quarts of whisky during the twenty four hours, lie was one of the best known drunkards in the city, and no one could remember having seen him sober during the three years preced ing this operation, and ho was looked upon ns past redemption and abso lutely valueless, from a business standpoint. Today ho Is assistant manager of n largo mercantile estab lishment In this city and n sober, re spected citlen. "Case No. 2 Is that of a young den tist nbout thirty years of age. Ho stated that for several years he had ooi.siiuiod all tho liquor ho could get during the day and took a bottlo to bed with him at night. Ills conslatit drinking bud made a veritable neiiius thonii: of him. Ho consulted mo re garding the operation, and was ad vised to have It performed. "Ho finally came to the sanatorium nnd had the operation performed. From a vagabond dentist, hounded by dozens of people whose money he bad taken dining half-sober Intervals as advance payments on work which ho was never ablo to perform, he Is now, and has been ever since tho operation, a sober man, and no one hesitates to trust him with bis work. "Cuse No. 3 Is that of a traveling man about thirty-live years of age. He had been drinking at Irregular In tervals for a number of years. The Intervuls had gradually grown closer together until life became Just one long drunk. He entered the sanato rium nnd had the same operation per formed. "It la not my purpose to advocate so grave a surgical procedure In all cases of chronic alcoholism, but only tu those apparently hopeless cases where everything else has failed, and tho pntlcnt is still In fnlr mental and physical condition and wants to he cured. The result at my hnnds bns thus far exceeded expectations." Use of Alcohol, Dr. Andrew H. Smith of New York, whllo stanehly defending tho use of al cohol as a medicine, says: "I contend that like morphine, It tins absolutely no place In health. Every drop of al cohol, as well as every particle of mor phine, that a well man tnltcs, mnkes him less a well mnn. I believe that clinical facts will bear out this state ment In every case. Those who use alcohol and still remain in good health nre enabled to do so by a reserve of vital power which would otherwise bo available In another direction." God's Covenant of the Law By PASTOR RUSSELL I Brooklya Taberascl 330 TEXT The Lord, whom ye aeek, ahall aiiddenly come to Me temple, even the Menxe tiger of the covenant, whom ye de light In, aald Jehovah of Hum; but who may abide by the day of hla coming? Malachl III. 1 1. Six thousand years ago In Eden our Maker, In Justly sentencing his dis obedient children to dea.h, intimated that ultimately the seed of tho woman would bruise the serpent' head. This hidden promise was the first Intima tion of the divine mercy which our gracious Creator purposed In himself from before the foundation of the world. Ever noble, kind and gracious, our Creator restrained his merry for the good of his creatures that they might loarn to appreciate the exceed ing sinfulness of sin. For the good of the angels also, and that they might fully know of his justice, as well as of his wisdom and power, God insist ed upon dealing with bis creatures from the standpoint of exact Justice. They had sinned and thereby had for feited all claim upon the eternal life which he had given them conditional ly. Eternal torment, a we have already seen, did not In any sense or degree enter into the divine Intention. His sentence upon man, plainly stated, was, "Dying thou shall die," not. Liv ing thou shall live In torment "The soul that slnneth It shall dlo" (Gene sis II, 17; Ezekiel xvlll. 4). God In tended to exemplify In his dealings with our race a principle of divine government to be made operative everywhere ultimately among all his creatures on the spirit plane, as well as upon the earthly. Israel's experiences of tribulation and bondago In Egypt were probably necessary to prepare them for God's great proposition that they should keep the law and as a reward have life everlasting.. As It Is written, "He that duetb things shall live by them" (1evltlcua xvlll, E). Israel greatly re joiced In this manifestation of divine preference for them more than for all others of humanity. The law covenant was mediated. The sacrifice of bulls nnd of goats mado a typical atone ment for them fcr a year, so that they might enter Into the covenant rela tionship with God. 1 1 nt when they at tempted to keep the law they wero disappointed. They failed. The law of God being the full measure of a perfect man's ability, and the Jews, like other men, being Imperfect, found that they had undertaken an Impossi bility. Not a Jew kept tho law perfectly. Not a Jew, therefore, gained eternnl life during the first year. Hut God, foreknowing this, hnd mado prepara tion for a repetition of tho atonement day every year, so that the people might continue striving to attain eter nal life. Year after year, century after century, they failed, and dis couragement took the place of hope. God was teaching them a great lesson respecting the need of better sacri fices than those of hulls and of goats, and also teaching them that there Is no other means of Justification In his sight. They got blessings under tho covenant educational blessings, but not the blessings hoped for, not life eternal. Hence they were not In n position to become, as they had hoped, a national Messiah, a national seed of Abraham, for the blessing oi all the nations. The first begotten of tho Father, ns his glorious agent In the great work of creation, had the honor granted him of becoming the great messenger of the covenant, the great pnpht, priest nnd king of Israel, the great Michael of Daniel xll, 1. Hut there were tests connected wi'h his attain ment of this high position: (ll Ity falth ho must lay atdilo bis heavenly glory, In obedlenco to the Father's will to become a man not a sinful man, but a perfect mnn holy, harm less, undcfllod, separate from sinners. (2) Thus prepared to become the Re deemer It was his privilege to make full consecration of his earthly Inter est and the Father's pleasure to beget him of the holy spirit nt Jordan to the spirit nature on the highest jlnne. For three and a half years his sacri fice burned upon the altar. It was indeed better than tho sacrifice of bulls and gontB, for It was a cc.rre (ponding price for Adam; un eyo for nn eyo, a tooth for a tooth; a man's life for n man's life. (3) When Jesus had thus snerlflelally parted with his earthly life he experienced a resurrec tion change from human nature to spiritual, like what be was originally, only higher and more glorious. Thus ho was at once both a sacrifice and the spirit-begotten priest who offered that sacrifice. Then why did he not at once begin his great work as prophet, priest, king and new covenant mediator for Israel and through Israel for the world? It was because there was to he more than one sacrifice In the divine plan on the day of atonement. When this bride class shall hnve completed her sacrifice In and under the merit of the great prlost, then every arrangement for the blessing of Israel as Abraham's seed and of all nations through Israel will have forth with commenced. Thus seen tho reve lation of Israel's great messenger of the new covenant Is very Important not only to tho Jew, but also to the world of mankind, who must receive their blessings under lsraol by a com pliance Kith he aame new law cove- Peaceful Condition.
