The7 difference between tho old dispensation and the new, between the Jew and tho Gentile, is found In those two words law nnd grace. "The l.n was given by Moses, but grr.co nnd truth cn.no by Jesus Christ." Therq is a very striking passjgo in the book of Hebrews which sets forth the dif ference between tho religion of the Jew nnd the religion of the Chris tian. Tho writer of that book Is striv ing to show what an improvement Christianity is over Judaism and he says: Contracting Dispensations. "For ye are not come unto tho mount that might be touched, ni-1 that burned with Are, nor unto bin eh ness, nnd darkness, nnd tempest, ml tho sound of a trumpet, nnd tho volte of words: which voice they that her.;l entreated that tho word should not bo spoken to them any more. (For they could not endure that which was com manded. And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart; and so terrible was tho sight, that Moso3 said, I exceedingly fear and quake.) But ye are como unto Mount Zion, and unto the city of the living Cod, the heavenly Jerusalem, nnd to an in numerable company of angels. To the general assembly and church of tho first-born, which nro written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to tho spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speakoth better things than that of Abel." Christianity No Annex. By such words as these Apollos up sets the contention of the Jewish peo ple that Christianity is a mere annex of Judaism and that all tho converts from heathenism must start whore they did, from Sinai's smoking mount. Apollos says, No! Christianity means Zion in tho place of Sinai. Wo huvu got beyond clouds, and lightnings, and thunderbolts, and earthquakes, nnd paralyzing fear, and terrible visions nnd ilcelng from tho presence of tho awful cataclysm. We have como to a mountain which is tho joy of tho whole earth, We are attracted, not re pelled. Wo are wooed, not driven. We are drawn by love, not coerced by force. Wo aro charmed with tender words, not stunned with thunder blasts. Wo arc surrounded with an gels, not enveloped in blackness nnd tempest. Wo have a city, tho Heav enly Jerusalem, not a barren de.urt, overhung with gloomy mountains. Wo have a new covenant written on our hearts, not a covenant carved on tnblets of stone, Wo have glorious liberty, not a yoke of bondage. Wo have divine principles, not a sot of rules. Wo arc treated as sons of God, nut servants of the household. We aro saved by grace, not by legal ism. Wo are not under the curse, but under grace. We dc not walk accord ing to an ancient rule, but according as He walked. We do not seek to make evolves acceptable to God by doing, wo do bocauso we have been made acceptable to God. We are not pleasing Moses, we aro following Christ. We are not putting the law always before our face, we aro put ting the Lord always before our face. Wo do not ask, What does Moses say? We ask, What does Christ say? Wo read the commandments of Moses, by tho interpretation which Jesus gave them. We are not living in tho year 1500 B. C, but in the year 1909 A. D. Legal Bondage Still. And yet the sad fact is that in spite of the plain teaching of the Bible there is a vast amount of legal bond' ago In the church to-day. Not only Romanism but Protestantism has la mentably gone back into the legal bondage of tho Mosaic dispensation three thousand years behind tho times. They have not only resumed the laws of Moses, but they have mndo a thousand more and added to their burdens, already Intolerable, Tho people work day and night and still fall far short of their duty. Ignor ant of the fact that Christ has for over superseded Moses and Aaron, trl uraphantly fulfilling tho law by pay- ing all its penalty, they still stagger along under the law dispensation, In stead of tho grace dispensation of the Redeemer. The gospel is the great emancipation proclamation to the world. In sweet and loving follow- Bhlp and harmony with pur deliverer wo nro Just as free from tho law as If there were no law. Rules and reg- ulations cannot exist where lovo Is, Law and Lovo Contrasted. The model home Is not founded on Slnal but on Zion, to grieve tho parent with disobedience hurts the child more than the strap. And the teacher who wlnB tho lovo of her pupils has no nso for tho ferrule. The new dispen nation under which we live la the dis pensation of love. ALMOST QENER0U8. Casey was Close But Once He Came Near "Loosening Up." Harry M. Daugherty, of Columbus, who, some persons believe, will bo tho next United States Senator from Ohio, whllo in .e national capital recently told this story to the Washington Post. Two Irishmen wore discussing tho death of a friend. Said Pat: " 'Sure, Casey was a good fellow.' "'Ho was that.' replied Mike. A good fellow, Casey.' "'And a cheerful man was Casey.' said Pat. " 'A cheerful man was Casey, the checrftilcst I over knew,' echoed Mike. " 'Casey was a generous man, too,' said Pat. " 'Generous, you say?. Well, I don't know so much nbout that. Did Casey ever buy you anything?' '"Well. nearly,' replied Mike, scratching his head. Ono day he came Into Flaherty's ,barroom, where me and my friends were drinking, and ho said to us: "Well, men, what are wo going to have rain or snov?"'". SAME OLD WAY. Teacher Now, if I should give a smart boy this sentence to punctu ate: "Mary Jane a beautiful girl ran down the street," what would he do? John Make a dash after tho girl, of course. A New Use for Cheese. An English farmer recently went into n restaurant In Liverpool and call ed for some bread and cheese. 'What kind would you like, sir?" inquired the waiter. "Cheshire, York siro or Gorgonzola?" "Fancy name, that last," said the farmer; "I'll try a bit of that." He thought it so tasty that ho bought a pound, took it homo for his wife late at night, and left it for her on the sideboard in tho kitchen. Next morning he came in from his before breakfast round nnd asked her If she had found tho parcel. "Oh, yes," sho replied, "I saw it there all right, and very good mottled soap It Is, no doubt, when you know how to use it. But I couldn't make it lather very well when I washed the children, and after I'd done they smell- ed so strong that I've turned 'em out for a breath of fresh air, Just to sweet en 'em a bit before they go to school." He Would Return. Marlow was throe years old. One day his mother said to him, "Now, Marlow, you may go outdoors to play for a while, but If I see you crossing the street to play with that naughty little boy, Willie Burr, again, I'll give you a hard, hard spanking." Half an hour later the mother look ed out after her boy and saw him playing with Willie Burr. Sho raised the window and called, with forced gentleness: "Marlow, come hero to me." Marlow came, but as he did so, ho turned to his companion and said: "You stay wight here, Willie. I'm doin' in to det spanked. I'll be wight back." Back to the Farm. "Well, Silas, what did you find new down to the city?" "Why, somethin' wuth sceln'. The hull place is full o' cabs with cash registers on 'em, an' red Hags to show folks It's dangerous to dispute the fare. They call 'em taxidermy cabs, 'cause ef you don't mind, the drivers '11 jest take tho skin off ye." The Saddest Words. Said a poet to an unfortunato specu lator: "Don't you think that the open ing lines of Tennyson's little poem, 'Break, break, break,' are plaintive and sad?" "Yes," was the melancholy reply. "But I think that 'Broke, broke,' is a good deal sadder." Advice. "You's got to put a certain amount of dependence on yohself," said Uncle Eben. "De man dat goes nroun' look In' foh too much advice is liable to find hisself in de position of de gem man dat gits so interested readln' de time-table dat he misses his train." Holding Back the News. "I suppose your wife was tickled to death at your ralso in salary?" "Sho will be." "Haven't you told her yet?" "No, I thought I would enjoy my self for a couple of weeks flrsL" The Way of the World. Uncle Biff says: "Some hev patcheB on their knees from knoolln' in pray er, also in th' seat o' their trousers from backalldln'!" Sensible Advice. Look the world square In the eye, It lt'a friendly, smile and hold out your band, If It tries to trip you, duck, dodge and biff It In the neck. UNCANNY ANTIGS CREDITED TO BO! Dishes and Knives Fly and Bible Flops Over in Wisconsin Norwegian Household IS HE A LITTLE BROPHY MEDIUM? Strange Manifestations Are Repeated When Lad Is Removed to Another Town Scientists on Psychic Socie ties Interested in Phenomena. Superior, Wis. Tho llttlo village of Mount Horob, Wis., of which few persons outside of the State probably had heard until recently, has attained a distinct position on tho map through the uncanny attributes accredited to an cloven-year-old boy. He is James Henry Uropliy, the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Knut Lund of Mount Horob, pioneer Norwegian settlors in tho town of Sprlngdalo, where they had lived for fifty years. Tho boy is known variously as "the wonderful child medium" and the I "Mount Horeb child of mystery," ac cording as the narrator is a believer in or is skeptical of the cult of Spiri tualism. Ho is a mixture of Irish nnd Norwegian, ills mother being Mrs. Patrick L. Tralnor of Madison by a former marriage. He Is a pretty child, witli fine hazel eyes and curly brown hair. Ills features aro delicate, almost girlish, and his pale, oval fnco suggests a sensitive mentnllty. Ho would be noticed In a crowd because of a certain llowerllko beauty and shy ness. The first uncanny happening occur red on March 1), when, as tho boy en tered tho kitchen of his home, a snow ball came ilylng out of space, struck him In the middle of the back, and knocked him flat on the tloor. Thero is a wide open lot on that side of tho house, and there was not a soul in sight outside. Precisely the same thing happened the following day, when the boy came from school. Tho next evening a series of events put the household In a panic. Cups Hew from tho table and broke; a lamp chimney was shattered, and the spool of thread on the sewing machine be gan to unreel rapidly of its own voli tion. Tho boy's grandfather became distracted with terror, and news of the strange events spread rapidly. The next day there was a funeral In the village, which tho boy's moth er attended, afterward spending the iilght at tho home of her parents. That night things were particularly nimble, and some of tho neighbors were sent for to compose grandfather Lund, who was on the verge of col lapse. The Row Mr. Mostrom, with Sam Thompson, another respected citizen, responded to tho call, but as soon as Mr. Mostrom entered the sit ting room a Bible, which was on tho table. Hopped over twice and fell to the floor at his feet. "There," ex claimed the old couple, "you see how it is!" The clergyman tried to explain mat ters rationally, and finally sat down at the organ to play a hymn. Meanwhile Mr. Thompson was sitting about three feet from the table with the boy on his knee, when the boy suddenly ex- claimed: "Look out! Instantly a big carving knife, ivhlch had been on the table, Hew through the air and stuck in the iioor In front of them The boy could not have touched it, Mr. Thompson says. The same phenomena occurred with a hatpin, and Mr. Thompson nnd the minister owned up afterwards that they could not sleep for hours that night Some of the citizens finally declared that the house, which was equipped with electric lights and telephone, had become electrified, causing the dls turbance. Accordingly, two well-known citizens went to tho house one night and, despite the protests of the fam ily, who feared to be left in dark ness, had the electric wires discon nected. This failed to effect any re form, however, and the boy, finally becoming suspected either of posses sing unusual powers or marvelous sleight-of-hand abilities, was sent to the homo of his undo, Andrew Lund, in Springdale. As soon as he entered his uncle's house a pall of water in the kitchen went spinning over the lloor, upsetting Its contents. A spoonky night fol lowed; all sorts of household utensils apparently went on a spree, and this proved that the boy, wittingly or un wittingly, was responsible for the manifestations. "You had better take down that looking glass." said tho boy to his uncle soon after he arrived. His un cle laughed, but soon afterward tho mirror fell with a crash. As in Mount Horob, country people camo in droves' to see tho boy. A neighboring boy who camo over to play marbles with Henry, was so terrified by tho queer actions of tho marbles that ho ran home and told his mother about it He said that when it became his turn to shoot ho was utterly unablo tc guide (ho direction of the marbles which would fly directly from his fin gers Into Henry's pocket. Also, he said, when Henry shot, tho marble would stop short when going swiftly and fly back to the shooter. Andrew Lund declared, too, that the boy would sit on a chair with a cigar box con talning marbles In his lap, and that the marbles would Jump out of the box without tho boy touching them. Tho case 1b attracting the attention of scientists and societies of psychic research from far and near, but tho boy is becoming shy of viators, nnd frequently cries when they come, WORLD NEWS OF THE WEEK.

TRUST PAYS $10,250,000 TO END SUGAR SUIT Gives $2,000,030 Cash, Cancels $1,250, Loan, and Returns $7,000,000 Se curities Trial Stops Suddenly. New York, N. Y June 15 Whipped to a standstill' in the courts and fear ful of Indictments nnd prosecutions which might land several of its' lnllu ential men in Jail, tho American Sugar llellnlng Company settled tho $30,000, 000 suit brought against It by tho Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Com pany. The penalty which the Sugar Trust paid for wrecking tho Pennsyl vania company, causing one of its financial backers to commit sulcido and entailing great loss on many inno cent Investors In Its securities, was not announced officially. The settlement Involved tho pay ment of $'-',000,000 In cash, the return of $7,000,000, par value securities and the cancellation of a loan of $1,500,000 by the trust to their independent rivalH. Tills Is piobably tho largest pay ment over mado In private settlement of a law suit. This result Is a distinct victory for Frank S. Blnck, Samuel Untcrmyor and J. D. Junkin, chief counsel for the Independents. Tho trust was defended by John G. Milburn, Henry W. Taft. brother of tho President, and John G. Johnson, who arc among the most em inent lawyers in the country. This suit was one of the greatest of tho many catastrophles or expos ures which have overtaken the all powerful Sugar Trust recently. First tho trust was caught by Tho Now York American red-handed In a sys tematic method of extorting rebates from the railroads. Tim American collected the evi dence, published It, and on this evi dence tho trust was convicted in the United States courts. Next the trust was caught using false scales In weighing raw sugar received at the re fineries. It paid $2,000,000 two months ago to settle this suit Next it was ac cused of systematic smuggling. City officials brougnt charges of stealing city water from unmetered water mains during a long series of years. Then the suit of the Philadelphia In dependent sugar refinery, which It haTl crushed and whose suit was once dismissed, was revived and forced to a trial, with the result a payment of millions In settlement agreed on. By sugar men, the settlement Is re garded as not only a tacit admission of the conspiracy chargej made by tho Pennsylvania Company, but also as evidence of the strong desire of tho Sugar Trust to prevent further pub licity of Its business methods.
