CONGRESSIONAL
July 20. At 12.15 this morning the
house of representatives passed the
report of the conference committee on,
the tariff bill by a vote of lsi to 118.
The bill now goes to the senate for con
currence and will become a law as soon
aa It Is signed by the President. Every
republican present voted for the re
port. The democrats, with five excep
tions, voted against the report. . The
exceptions were Slayden, of Texas;
Brousaard, of Louisiana; Meyer, of
Louisiana; Davey, of Louisiana; Kle
berg, of Texas. The populists and sit
veritea did not vote solidly. Mr. Sha
forth, of Colorado, and Newlands, of
Nevada, sllverltes. abstained from vot
ing. Mr. Hartman .siiverite, Mojitana,
did not vote. The populists who voted
aganist the report were as follows: Ba
ker. Barlow. Botkln, Fowler. Jett,
Lewis, Marshall, Martin, Peters, Simp
son, Strowd and Vincent. Four did not
vote Howard. Kelly, Stark and South
that 180 republicans and Ave democrats
erland. The other populists were ab
sent. An analysis of the vote shows
voted for the report, and 106 democrats
and 12 populists against it.
After some routine business the sen
ate resumed consideration of the tar
iff conference report.
Five paragraphs, from amendment
C62 to amendment 588, were disposed of
without question, but at that point Mr.
Jones, of Arkansas, said he had not
been able to keep track of the matter,
and the reading was begun over again,
so that explanations might be given.
July 22. Senator Jones of Nevada,
chairman of the committee on conting
ent expenses, submitted the report of
that committee on the resolution Intro
duced by Senator Tillman for an In
vestigation of the charges of speculat
ing In Sugar stocks, etc. The report
takes a strong position against order
ing the investigation and is a very ex
haustive review of the procedure of the
senate in the past in such matters.
The report takes the position that,
aside from the names of the newspaper
men themselves, only the name of
Senator Smith of New Jersey Is men
tioned in the newspapers making the
charges on which the resolution was
based. The position is taken that the
newspaper men do not count, "inas
muchas these gentlemen do not profess
to write from knowledge and usually.
If not always, decline to disclose the
sources of their Information."
Representative W C. Stone of Penn
sylvania, who was chairman of the
committee on coinage, weights and
measures of the last house, Introduced
In the house a bill to authorize the
appointment of a monetary commis
sion and to provide for Its expenses.

I Cor. III., 11 Cammeatary aB th
Lmmb by the ttmw. Dr. D.. M. Btoeraa'
1. "After these things Paul departed
rrora Athens and eame to Corinth." He Is
Mill led and controlled by the 6plrit, end if
the Spirit had not now wanted him ia Cor
inth He would not hare suffered him to go
fohapter rvl., 6, 7). Thus also we may
know His way lor us. If we are honestly
living unto Him who has bought us to be
et apart lor Himself, then wherever He
would have us to go the door will be open
nd the wsy plain, and where He does not
want us He will close the door and hinder
us from going.
2. "Ami found a certain Jew named
aqulla, born in Pontus, lately come from
Italy, with his wife rriscills." Then as
now, the Jews were mad to move on.
rhey had chosen t'rcsar instead o( their
Messiah, and instead o( rest, which Christ
would have given them, they have been to
this day driven hither and thither and per
secuted in many lands. It Is written "I
will command and I will sl(t (or caue to
move) the house o( Israel among all na
tions." It Is also written. "He that scat
tered Israel will gather him," and. again
'I will plant them upon their land, and
they shall no more be pulled up out of their
land whleh I have given them, satth the
Lord thy dod" (Auios X., 9, i5; Jer. xxxi.,
8. "And beenuse he was of the same craft
he Bbodo with them and wrought, for bv
their occupation they were tentmakers."
Paul loved, when possible, to earn h!s own
bread, and he often testllled that he did so
that he might not be a burden to any of
them (I Thess. II.. 9; II Thess. 111., 8. He
said to the elders o( the church at Ephesus
'Yea, ye yourselves know that these hands
nave ministered unto my necessities and to
them tlmt were with me (Acts xx., 84).
4. "And he reasoued In the synagogue
svery Knhbnth ami persuaded the Jews and
the tlreeks." He would talk on the same
lines as at Thessaloniea, showing (rom tho
Scriptures that Israel s Messiah had to
Jiiffer and die and arise from the dead be
fore Ho could be the Immortal man on
lavld's throne who had been foretold, and
that Jesus of Nnzaroth had fulfilled every
prediction concerning the sufferings ami
death and resurrection, and would certain
ly in duetimn fultlll every prediction con
cernlng the kingdom and the glory ( Aets

Christ our Lord Is euough.
0. "And when Silas and Tlmotheus were
come from Macedonia Paul was pressed in
the Spirit (II. V. constrained by the word)
and testllled to the Jews that Jesus wan
the Christ." He had left these two brethren
at lleren when he had gone to Athens
(chapter xvll., 13-15). Hut now they have
Joined him, and he must have been some
what comforted by their coming. I'uul
knew what sorrows were, and he kuew
what real comfort was. nnd It Is from the
heart that he speaks of (lod as "the Father
of mercies and the God cl all comfort"
(II Cor. I., 31.
ft. "Your blood be upon your own heads,
I am clean. From henceforth I will go un
to the gentiles." This ha said as they op.
posed him with blasphemy, for our Lord
Jesus had taught that if 'the message of
Ills servants was not received the servants
were to wipe the dust oft their feet as a
testimony against them nnd pass on to
those who would hear. When the gospel
Is faithfully preached, the messengers nro
unto (iod asweet savor of Christ in them
tlmt are saved and in them that perish (II
Cor. II., 15).
7. "And ho deported thenco nnd entered
Into a certain man's house, named Justus,
one that worshiped (iod, whoso house
joined hard to tho synagogue." Ho' when
one door is closed another opens, ami
whether it bo just next door, as In this
case, or across the street, or in some other
city or town, or In some other land, tho
Spirit of Ood will lead His people, ami
thev have only to follow where He leadoth,
with no desire but to bo controlled by Him
and to please Him.
8. "And ("rlspus, tho chief ruler of tho
synagogue, believed on tho Lord with all
his house, and many of the Corinthians,
hearing, believed and were baptized."
Crismis was one of tho very few whom
Paul baptized with his own hand (I Cor. I.,
14-10), for ho said that preaching the gospel
f not that ho in any way made light of ordl-
iiinn-ts, urn mi) oinpiitisizeii mat salvation
depends wholly upon believing or receiving
Christ and not upon any or all of the ordi
nances. Neither baptism nor Joining tho
church nor taking the communion can
save or help to save a soul, but salvation is
through tho finished work of Christ alono
Without any possible addition.
9. "Then spake tho Lord to Taul !n the
night bya vision, lie not afraid, but speak
and hold not thy peace." Ho said to the
Corinthians In hls llrst epistle, "I was with
you In weakness and In fonr and In mneh
trembling" (I for. 11., 8), go that there wrtH
some occasion for this special visit from
his blessed Master and for this encourag
ing "Do not afraid." Tho eyes of tho Lord
are over upon ills people, for their good
and to show His strength on their behalf
til Clirou. xv!.. 9). K necessary. Ho will
end Onlirlol or even n nost or angels on
our behalf.
10. "For I am with thee, and no man shall
set on thee to hurt thee, (or I have much
peoplo In this city." It would seem that
there were much disturbance and probably
threats o( violence, to the person o( Paul.
Of these ho would not be afraid, for he had
already been scourged and imprisoned and
stoned to death, but as tho Hplrlt had re
cently been leading him on from city to
city he might naturally think, In the light
of recent leadings, that he was again to
move on; hence tho Lord's special visit
nnd message to him. As parallel passages
for our own strength and encouragement
note Ex. lit., 12; iv., 12; Joshua I., 6; Judge
vl., 10; Isa. xll., 10, 13; Jer, i 8, 19; Hag.
I., 13; II., 4; Oen. xv., 1: Math, xxvlll., 20.
Tho Lord's own "I am with youj fear not,"
Is full of mighty comfort.
11. "And he continued there a year and
six months, teaching the word of Ood
among them." He bad but one theme,
Jesus Christ of Nazareth, His life, death,
resurrection and coming glory, but one
book, the Hcrlptures, and but one power, the
Holy Spirit. Compare Acts xxlv., 14; xxvl.,
22; xxvli., 81; then see I Cor. II., 1-6. The
Spirit will guide us When to go, and when
to stay, and how long to stay. He will
give us the words to speak, and He will do
all the work convincing of sin and right
eousness and Judgment. It is ours to be
fully under His control for the glory o
Ood. Lesson Helper.
Troubles Canted by Tea.
The startling announcement is mad
that there Is hardly a morbid symptom
which may not be traceable to tea aa
Its cause. The irritability that over
takes women so frequently may some
times be clearly traced to an excessive
Indulgence In afternoon tea. Taken In
strict moderation, and with due pre
cautions In the mode of preparation, tea
is, like alcohol, a valuable stimulant.
Perversion of the sense of hearing is
not at all an uncommon symptom pa

or objective existence.'

And the mellow days of autumn gone
Berause the storm-tleniU run and shout
And scrawl red lingers on the dawn,
Should we lose hope, ami weeping say,
"Our joy Is hid 'neath the drift on the

And love was buried yesterday.
And the tender mercy of Ood withdrawn?"
Nay. nay. (or the very winds that blow
Heavy with death will come again
With April music, and none will know
That life held ever a tear or a pain.

With twlstless arms to the sunless sky,
Will see the spring coming the same old" way,
And shake out her green leaves merrily.

llelli-ve anil lie Saved.
"Relieve iu the Lord Jesus Christ, and
thou shalt be caved,'' is the only, and it is a
sufllcieut answer to every anxious sinner
seeking refuge from the storm. You must
seek fur comfort in Christ, or you will seek
in vain. Rut apply to Him, aud you cauuot
fall, hay as Peter did when he began to
sink, "Save, Lord, or I perish," aud He will
put forth his hand at once. It is already
held out to you. Lay hold -of It by fn .tu.nnd
salvation is yours. "Heboid the
Lamb of (iod, which taketh away
the sin of the world. Look unto me,
and lie ye saved." You are invited to re
gard Him not as the Creator, but the Sa
viour, not as the Judge, but the Advocate;
not as tho Ruler, but the Mediator. When
conscience accuses, hear lllm sav, "It is 1;
1 who have fully atoned for thy sins; I who
have blotted them all out by my blood."
When thethought of (lod alarms, listen to His
voice, -It Is I; I who have made peace by the
blood of the cross; I. bv whom the just (lod
becomes the Justiller of the ungodly."
When the painful conviction of shortcom
ings, after all our striving, overwhelms,
itgaiu tie says. "It Is I; I whose white robe
will cover all thy lllthy rags, I, from whose
perfect obedience, ami not from thv own
unworthiiii'ss.thou art to look for acceptance
with Ood." When a sense of weakness and
inability to cope with the many difllculilee
and dangers which surround us, depresses
the mind, ngalii His voice Is heard. "It Is I
I who have engaged to perform things for
thee; I who will never leave thee nor for
sake thee."
"The Si-hoolor (inil."
In these days of hurry nnd bustle we find
ourselves fnce to face with a terrible dan
ger; and It Is this - uo time to be alone with
(lod. The world, Iu these last ilavs, is run
ning fast; we live in what Is called "the age
of progress," and "you know we must keep
pace with the times. ' So the world suys.
Ilut this spirit of the world bus not con
llued itself to the world. It is, alas: to bo
found among the saints of (iod. And
what Is the result? The result Is-no time
to be alone with (lod, and this is im
mediately followed by no Inclination to bo
alone with (iod 'Mils "desert life," us
home may call It. Is of an Importance that
i imm bo overvalued. Let us turn to tho
pages of (iod's Rook, (in scanning lis
precious pages we llud that tho uion of
Cod (Iod's mighty men were those
who had been In "the school of (lod," ns
It has well been culled; ami His school was
simply this "In the desert alone with
Himself." It was there they got their
teaching. Far removed from the din and
bustle of the haunts of men -distant ulike
from human eye and cur -thore they met
alone with (iod ; there they were equipped
for the battle. And when the time came
that they stood forth in public service for
(lod, their faces were not nsliaiiicdnay,
they had faces as lions ; they were bold and
fearless, yea, and victorious for (iod ; lor

sink? "( thou afflicted, tosed with tempest
and not comforted," listen to the voice o
Jesiis.who comes to thee in the storm walk
ing upon the water, ami Mivs, "It is 1; be
not afraid." Tim design of rellgloii is to
mnku us of good cheer. This world Is in
deed a vale of tears, but tho Man of sorrows
has visited It, that wo may rejoice. We are
surrounded by causes of alarm, but the
grispel bids us fear not. And that which alono
can enable us to be of good cheer amid sor
rows ami of good courage amid perils. Is
the presence of our (iod and Saviour. To
bollove in'lllm ns always near, always kind,
always mighty to save, is the true ami solo
antidote to fear and grief. It Is only in pro
portion as we recognize His voice as'tlmtof a
friend, saMHK', "a is I. thai m- can comply
with His exhortation, "Re of good cheer ; bo
not afraid."
A Life of Leisure.
Tho record of our Lord's life Is f 11 of
strange, serene leisure. His l'nther'f ln:si
uess was done (or 30 quiet years M ,Nu'.n
reth. The Son of (iod served so loi.g an ap
prenticeship of patience before Hi. i .imstiy
began. And afterwards, when II i Iii iiiiio
the vortex of eddying multitudes, lie never
showed a trace of hurry or excitement.
Through all those crowded days of healing
and controversy, He never knew what it was
to be feverish or (lurried or distraught. Hu
moved like a king In his own realm, mnster
of the pageant that stavs for his pleasure.

Failure PoUiiwh One.
A student mfttsed learning but one single
lesson. At the end of the year the principal
problem given to him In the examination fell
Iu the lesson he hud missed, nnd he failed in
It. Then a hundred times In after years did
he stumble and make mistakes in problems
and calculations, because he had lost . that
particular day's lesson. Thus failure in any
duty, any day, may fling its shadow to the
close of life. J. R. Miller, D. 1).
Ood sows June Molds with clover, and tho
world
Drondcast with common kindnesses,
With plain, good souls that cheerfully fulfill
Their homely duties in the common Held
Of dally life, nmbitlousof no more
Than to supply the needs of friends or kin,
Vet serve Uod s higlierwlll to human hearts.
Samuel Longfellow.
There is only one way to get to know Ood,
nnd it Is along the path of obedience, along
tho path of bowing our stiff knees, nnd
opening our lockjawed mouths, and pray
ing out of our hearts, ami giving our entire
obedience to His will. Rev. John McNeill.
Life In the soul Is the lido of tho Divine
ocean flowing as It hag opportunity through
the narrow channels of human nature.
Everything else is only a colorable ImlVation
of life, and a mode ol existence. John Wat
son, D.D.
