LAW AND GRACE.
International Bible Lesson for
June 20, '09.
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.

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,

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.
