~ WASHINGTON LETTER.
gn
Special io The C smmercial. .
Washington, Dec. 13.—The atmos-
phere around the Capitol is in marked
session. The second session of the
63rd Congress opened with practically
a full attendance in both the Senate
and the House, and with a great ap-
pearance of vim and zest for the work
before it. The jaded Senate perked
up and began the consideration of the
banking and currency bill, which the
majority undertook to crowd through
before Christmas under the threat
that unless the bill were passed there
would be no holidays. There was
opposition to the program of meeting
at 10 o’clock in the morning instead
of at 12, as usual, and of continuing
until 10 or 11 o’clock at night. The
republicans thought that this was too
strenuous, and they complained that
such a program would give them no
time to attend to correspondence,
committee meetings, orto the various
matters which should occupy their
attention.
Protests were not Kindly received
however by Senator Kern, leader of
the majority, and his democratic col-
leagues. They endeavored to force
their plan upon the minerity, which
snlked and showed resentment by re-
peated demands for roll calls on the
| plea that there was no quorum. On
last Thursday evening when 11 o’clock
the hour of adjournment approach-
ed, the absence ef a quorum was
noted and the minerity refused to
| adjourn until Sergeant at arms sent)
out and secured emough Senators bo!
make a quorum. Eight Senators
were found at a “get together’ bam-
quet given at a hotel by Senator
Chamberlain of Oregon. Senator
Walsh was making a speech, and as
soon as he was through the Senators
were rushed intaxis to the Capitol.
It broke up the banquet. Such imei-
dents show the determination of the
democratic leaders to get the mew
currency and banking bill passed.
HETCH HETCHY DEBATE.
The Heteh Hetchy bill intemposed
to cause delay in the currency legis-
lation program, but as that was:to be
disposed of on the 6th, it could not be
said to be serious, although it annoy-
Senator Works
made a leng speech in opposition to
the bill, which also had warm cham-
pions. It provides, as is now very
generally understood, thai the Gov-.
ernment shall give the city of San
Francisco reservoir privileges in a
rtion of the Yosemite reserve,—not
what is generally known as Yose-
mite Park, but in the high Sierras
which have heretofore been practi-
cally imaccessible to tourists,—in
order that it ma store water from
the Toulumne river and pipecit to the
t city by the bay, developing «inciden-
tally a larce amount of water power
‘for eleetrical energy. Semater Works
created a mild sensation by references
to the ““lobby’’ that was working for
the bill, mentioning partienlarly the
name of Gifford Pinchot. &t was re-
ported that Theodore A. Bell, the
demoeratic political leader of San
Franeciseo, was working just .as hard
against it. Because of the opposition
of the “nature lovers” to the use of
a part of the public domaim - for the
benefit of San Francisco, there has
been created a wide-spread interest
in this effort of San Franciceo to se-
cure an ample and assured supply of
pure water.

LESSON FOR DECEMBER 21
DIVISION OF THE LAND.
LESSON TEXT-—Joshua 14:1-14.
GOLDEN TEXT—“Seek ye first the
kingdom of God and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto
you.” —Matt. 6:33.
Following the defeat at Al we see
Joshua building an altar at Ebal (ch. 8)
and reading again “all that Moses
commanded” (v. 35), to the Israelites
and the strangers as well. Then fol-
lows an account of his campaigns. A
military eritic has classed Joshua with
the Alexanders, Caesars, Napoleons,
Wellingtons and Grants of all ages.
His dealing with the Gibeonites and
its after effects was one error in his
campaign, for he failed to take coun-
sel of Jehovah. At the close of the
war (ch. 11) Joshua is ready to divide
the long-promised inheritance, chap-
ters 12-21.
1. Those left behind, vv. 1-5. Read
carefully Numbers ch. 32 to recall the
story of those who, like Lot of old,
saw good grazing land and chose it in
preference to that on the farther side
of Jordan, that possessed by the “chil
«dren of Anak.” Subsequent history
reveals the foolishness of their choice,
for they were the first to fall before
the enemies of Israel when the kin
dom was broken up. The Levites
(v. 4) were not to have a portion but
rather they were to ‘dwell in selected
cities with suburban property.
Caleb Not an Israelite.
Il. Caleb «<laims ‘his inheritance,
vv. 6-12. Joshua was old and stricken
in years (13:1) and now Israel is be-p
fore him, each of the remaining nine
and one-half tribes, to have appor-
tioned unto them a permanent -dwel-
ling place after the long years of wil-
derness wandering, and the more re-
cent campaign of subjugation. Before
Joshua casts ‘the lot, however, Caleb
recalls the promise Meses ‘had made
to him 46 years before (v.10). From
a comparison of v. 6 R. W.,:Gen. 15:19
and Josh. 15:13 it appears that Caleb
was not:an Israelite by birth, but nev-
ertheless 'he claims @an inheritance
among them, based upon the promise
of Moses, “the man of God,” because
God” v.'9. His name literally means
“a dog™—yet this dogof a Gentile got
more than the crumbs that fell from
the master’s table, Matt. 16:26. Caleb
rested upon the sure word of God, and
to remember this promise was not an
act of selfishness. How those events
in the valley of Eschel must have
stood out in the memory of Caleb and
Joshua. They remembered how their
compamions caused the hearts of the
people “to melt” Num. 14:37. That
day’s ‘work ‘was one of: serious results
and so shall it be for their imitators
of the ;present day. To.see the giants
and mot, as Caleb, to see God had
brought death. In his heart, however,
Caleb treasured God’s word. and now
at eighty-five he has ‘not alone been
“kept alive,” but he iis as strong as
on that day, when in‘the prime of his
manhood, Moses had -sent him forth
with the ‘twelve.
Remembered Gail’s Promise.
111. A promise fulfilled vv. 13-15.
Joshuazat once recognizes the justness
and validity of Caleb’s claim. He re-
membered God’s promise, Num. 14:24-
30; Deut. 1:36-38, therefore he at once
grants the request and adds to it his
blessing. Hebron, means “joining,”
“union,” “fellowship.” Thus we see
Caleb emtering into all the rights,
privileges and blessings of any of the
descendants of Jacob. Is this not
typical of our privilege in Christ Je-
sus? Jobhm 15:5; 14:20; I John 1:3.
See also Matt. 8:11, 12. "The only con-
dition is that of faith im God and in
his Word, Gal. 3:7, 26, 29. “Thus faith
in the case:of Caleb is revealed as the
principle which follows fully, waits pa-
tiently, asks for new opportunities for
its exercise, and gains finally .a wic-
tory.”—G. Campbell Morgan. 1
The Golden Text. The essential
value of this lesson is expressed in
these words cf our Lord. To seek the
kingdom of God and his righteousness
first, is the matter of supreme impor-
tance and involves following the Lord
fully. Frequently, constaptly, this
means a long postponement of the
«day of our visible vindication. Yet
such postponement is not the result
of the capriciousness of God, nor is
it delayed beyond the hour necessary
for the working out of the plans of
Jehovah, in accordance with the very
best means. As Caleb waited those
45 years his strength waxed not, and
all things needful were supplied. The
point is not so much that he at last
gained the inheritance, but that dur-
ing the period of waiting his suste-
nance and his raiment were provided.
All through the year we have been
hearing of promises which were con-
ditional upon loyalty to God and obe-
dience to his will. Today we see a
fulfillment of the promise made over
and over again that Israel should pos-
sess the Promised Land. Dr. J. Wil-
bur Chapman asked Gen. William |
Booth for the secret of his success in |
the Salvation Army and his reply was,
“God has had all there was of me.”
Caleb’s was a vigorous, happy old
Flies Linger in Warm Rooms.
A correspondent from Northampton
county wrote to Prof. H. A. Surface,
State Zoologist, Harrisburg, Pa., and
asked how to destroy ‘‘flies which in-
vade the house in the early fall and
flourish uatil spring, when they dis-
appear.’”’” The reply of Prof. Surface
contains information that will be
helpful to many housewives, and is as
follows:
‘“T'o get rid of flies that pass the
winter in your room, I can say that
the best thing to do is to open the
windows on some cold night when it
is frosty, and let them get cold and
stiff, and in the morning sweep or
brush them together and destroy
them. This is perhaps the most effec-
tive andgleast{expensive method that
can be used.
‘“The flies get into the rooms in the
fall of the year, because they find the

They pass the winter in this congenizl
place. They may not do any parti-
cular harm there, but it will not be
difficult to try this method of getting
rid of them.
‘*‘Several species hibernate in houses
but the reason is doubtless because
the temperature is more congenial tb
them. It is not because they aie
there for any special purpose of com-
Joitting depredations. Of course they
can be killed by fumigating with chr-
