LEIS ®. YE ~JASHINGTON LETTER, special 10 The Commercial. official Washingbon will have some- thing to do beside going to the ball games after the glorius fourth is past and gone. Congress will by that time have got down to a hard grind again, with the Senate ding-donging away ab tariff bill and probably the House en- grossed with the banking and currency islation. Ge is little attempt to conceal the fact that Congresc does not relish the task of revising the currency laws this summer. Washington is not famed for the salubrity of its summer climate. A temperature of 100 degrees is not uncommon here and the Congressmen are not keen about remaining here during the dog days, butif the country expresses an anxiety that the financial system of the country be reformed at this session, Congress will bow to the verdictiand buckle down to work. SOCIOLOGICAL REFORMS. It is interesting to see the White Housefgiving inspiration to the work- ers in the field of humanity. Both the President and Mrs. Wilson are in- terested not only in making Washing- io a model city from an artistic stand- point and inits system of government, but in making it the best place in the country for the people who ordinarily enjoy but few of the advantages that come g¥most unasked to the rich. By personal Binyestigation Mrs. Wilson has become§acquainted with the dis- trossing conditions prevailing among the many alley homes in Washington, and itis directly through her benificent interest that congressmen are asking what they can do to improve the slums and wipe out conditions which make for disease andjerime. : While Washington is studying this question, it may be well to submit that the San Diego Exposition there will be a practicatillustraction in 1915 of what a modelicity;should be. The buildings now going up there will be permanent, fireproof, sanitary structures em body- ing the latest ideas and the most re- cent improvements. : The exposition itself will constitute a model municipality,fso far as the physical features of it are concerned, } with a perfect water and sewerage plant, complete lighting arrangement, an emergencyfhospital which has for months past fbeen at the service of those building the exposition,anursery for children, ress rooms for visitors, amusements andfplay grounds, in short everything that can be devised for the wellfare, comfort and amusement of the public. The whole will be set in a set in a great garden with good roads, smooth paths, and a surprising profdion of flowers and ornamental shrubs and tree bordering velvety lawns. As a model city exhibit the San Diego Exposition will be well worth the consideration of all who are interested in city planning and in the elimination of slums from cities. pa ger Clears the Complexion.

This is the time of the year when many lettesr are reaching Prof. H. A. Surface, State Zoologist, at Harris- burg, from bee-keepers of Pennsyl- vania, requesting aid in suppressing the diseases of bees that are destroy- ing over one million dollars worth of preperty, and resulting in the loss of production of about the same value of property in the way of honey and wax in this State. A correspondent from Tunhannock wrote to Dr. Surface that he had sixty-four colonies of bees, some of which were infested, and asked for State inspection service and a means of curing the disease. To this Prof. Surface replied as follows: «While “there is a law providing for such service in this state, yet at this time there has not been any money appropriated to defray the expenses of an inspector. I would consider it a very important subject. As president of the State Bee-keepers’ Association I have been looking after this for some years and it seems to be now in sight. As soon as this money is available we can arrange to send someone into your district. It is not a difficult matter to clean up the disease without losing the brood if it is done with full care and complete understanding of the subject.

GOLDEN TEXT—“This is the victory jthat hath overcome the world, even our {faith.” I John 5:4. ¢ The reading lessons for today are a |New Testament commentary upon the past quarter's work. The first lesson ‘is taken from that marvelous defense ot Stephen the first martyr. As he ‘traces the history of the people of Israel, he shows God's continued ac ‘tivities and purposes from the hour he ‘called Abraham until the holy one of Israel came to fill to their fulness all ,of these same activities and purposes. Stephen also shows us that alongside iGod’s activities was the equally per: ,sistent disobedience of the people (which culminated in the betrayal and (murder of that holy one. In the por ‘tion selected he sef§ before us how Joseph is sold into Egypt, yet God was iwith him and delivered him: how the famine came and Jacob is thereby brought into Egypt only later to be jcarried back into the land of promise. { Teach Faith, i The second lesson is taken from that great catalogue of heroes as re jcorded In the Epistle to the Hebrews. {Here we have set before us the fact ‘that God's eternal purpose with man iis ever that of faith. Isaac, Jacob ‘and Joseph are here mentioned and the faith of each set befcre us. ; Leaving out the Easter lesson we ‘have covered a period of about 50 'yeams, eight lessons dealing with Jo- iseph, and four with Jacob. Attention has been called to Jo ‘seph a8 ome of the most remarkable {types of Christ to be found im the Old | Testament (see comments oa lesson ;of April £7). ‘As we have alwe sug ‘gested Jasob is not so gremd a char ‘acter as Abwabam yet is mmeh more ‘like the average MAD. : It ie interesting to go over these lessoms and follow God's pumpeses and ito observe how like Christ Jesaph was. : In LBSSON L we behold Jaseb at the instigation of his mother deestvimg his ;poor old father and being esmpelled ‘to fiy thet be might save his life. Re ‘bekah thomght she could exeeubde God's ‘purpases; but i is never wight do do ‘evil that good may result, In I1MSSONX IL. Jehovah appeared be: fore this comscience smitten refugee ‘and again promised tha. the Mmmsing, yes, his own divine purpose, would 'be worked ont in Jacob's life. 2 lesson on the grace of God. LESSON IIL sets Jacob before us after twematyone years’ servies and Sepevatien from his beother MHeseu This ia a great lesson on Ged's desire ‘and traneforming power. He trans ‘forms Jacob to Israel a “primes” and ‘softened the héart of FMeem. Faith ‘overcame and is strengthemed and confirmed. - In LESSON IV, we first behold Jo ‘seph particularly loved and favored and as bitterly hated; he was thrown into a pit to die but is taken ur (typical of the resurrection) and sold into slavery. The development of en: vy and the persistent, delivering pur ‘pose of God are here presented in strong contrast. : LESSON V. shows Joseph's enter ing that dark maze beyond whieh God was to highly exalt him. By faith he overcame that fierce temptation and his treatment of his fellow prisoner ‘was God's useful agency theugh it seemed accidental and insignificant. ’ God’s Continued Purpeee. LESSON VI. is the completion of Lesson V. and in it we see Jeseph seated in the place of power, able tc save the country and also his breth: ren. LESSON VIL shows us God's con: tinued purpose and the beglmming of the fulfillment of his word thes the descendants of Abraham were to dwell in captivity (Gen. 15:18). LESSON VIIL is a contimmmtiem of Joseph’s dealings with his brothers in which their guilty consciences are still further pricked and God reveals to us his immutable purpose. LESSON IX. is a tender one of the meeting of Joseph and Benjmeadm while ‘at the same time it suggests te us the ‘certainty of the fact that we mmy “be sure your sin will find you out.” Un: "less covered by his forgiving blood our sin is mercilessly upon our tems. In LESSON X. we behold Joseph ‘made known to his brethren and those dn fear are urged to draw near. Jo ,seph’s faith in God saved him from ar- ‘rogance and retaliation and Inclined ‘his heart to tenderness and love in Ris ‘dealings with his brothers.
