THE KING SITTING IN JUDGMENT.
International Bible Lesson for Oct
16, '10 (Matt 25:31-46).
Every activity of man, every work
of his hands la In reference to Investi
gation, (scrutiny and Judgment. From
tlio hour when the littlo child brings
to its mother tho first rude nttompt
to mako somotlilng, to Uio time when
tho old manifolds his weary hands
upon his breast and lies down for his
last sleep, everybody works for tho
tost of Judgment.
The parent, tho teacher, tho em
ployer, tho auditor, are but so many
Judges Bitting upon the throno of au
thority to pass Judgment upon our
work and to condemn and punish, or
npprovo and reward thn workor.
Every day is a day of Judgment. Every
act is being canvassed, weighed, In
vestigated, scrutinized, condemned or
approved, and there is no person to
whom this does not apply. It Is as
universal as tho race, as far-roachlng
as tho human family.
Not Incredible.
Why should It be thought a thing
Incrcdlblo therefore that God should
appoint a day In which He shall Judgo
tho world as to spiritual values and
moral qualities? In view of all the
facts of life every ono feels Instinc
tively that tho conditions of tho uni
verse demand a time when wrongs
shall all be righted, when Injustice
Bhall bo overthrown and iniquity
punished, when vice shall ho unmask
ed and virtue crowned, when tho
sheep and the goats shall be sepa
rated, finally and Irrevocably. If it
were not to bo so, tho suffering hu
man heart would break, and tho raco
would sink down into the belief that
a cast Iron God was Boated on the
throno of the universe, whom to wor
ship would be a mockery and to In
voke a blasphemy.
Righting of Wrongs.
In the teaching of this lesson, ut
tered by our Lord two days before He
stood a prisoner at the bar of Pilate,
the fact Is unequivocally stated that
tho hour Is coming when every wrong
thing will bo straightened out, when
every right 'thing will bo enthroned,
when ovory Iniquity will feel the lash
of Justice and every righteous deed
will bo proclaimed and applauded
that men, angels and devils may fully
understand. In that day the nations
will be Judged, the Individuals will be
judged, tho thoughts and intents of
all hearts will be Judged, and all men
from the least to the greatest will re
ceive tho deeds done In the body ac
cording to what thoy have done,
whether it be good or bad.
In other words, tho record of every
Individual is to be scrutinized and
passed upon. And the Judgment is to
be based upon Just one essential thing
conduct It is not said that ho will
put tho rich on his right hand, and
the poor on his left; tho noble on his
right hand and the despised on hia
left; the learned on his right hand
and the illiterate on his left; but the
godly on his right hand and the un
godly on his left All other divisions
and subdivisions will then bo abol
ished; but tho great distinction of
men into thoso who have done good
and thoso who have done evil will re
main forever.
Judgment Satisfactory.
But mark you, this investigation
and scrutiny will bo mado by tho King
Eimself. And therefore it will bo
universally satisfactory. Tho infer
ence is that many will bo surprised
to discover that He is aware of every
good deed they have done, and others
will bo overwhelmed to discover that
He knows the occasions when they
failed to do a good deed througn
Btubborness of heart. The inference
is emphatic that no faith but that
which proves Itself by works can so
curo a title to tho Kingdom of Heav
en. If a man has real faith his works
will demonstrate It; if he has no good
works his claim to have faith will
avail him nothing In that day.
A person might claim to be able to
paint a picture, carve a statue, write
a poem, but if he never did It, his
claim would amount to nothing. So
a man may claim all tho graces of n
Christian llfo, but If ho cannot point
to the exhibition of those graces in
Christian living his claim is a sham.
In the Judgment no man will have
the audacity to claim Christian char
acter if in tho record of his llfo tliero
la no account of good deeds accom
plished. Thus It will happen that many peo
ple who havo been considered heretics
on earth will bo crowned in hcavon;
and many who have hypocritically
bold high plnece will go down to
ehame and everlasting contempt The
lesson is plain, he who truly loves and
helps man, out of unselfish sympathy
provca that ho loves God also, for ho
does over again the work that Christ
Himself did when Ho was hero on
earth and He says, "Inasmuch as yo
did it unto ooo of the least of these
my brethren, ye have done It unto me."
Good Works th Tet.
Evidently we shall have to revise
our ideas of the Bheep and the goats.
lor according to those words of Christ
only He who knows tho heart 1b able
to distinguish them. Men havo ever
been swift to Jude their follows and
to put their ecclesiastical tags on
those whom they approve It is the
most natural thing In the world to
rule people off according to our ideas,
and to sit down In smug satisfaction
to say. Tho temple of God, tho torn
pie of God are wo!"

No Change, Says Griscom,
In Convention Plans.
HOLD OYSTER BAY CONFERENCE
Colonel Roosevelt and His Supporters
Discuss Situation In New York Is
Promised Majority at Republic
an Saratoga State Gathering.
Oyster Hay, N. r.. Sept. 13. That tho
progrqsslvo wing of the Republican
party Vlll be In full control nt the
Saratoga convention is the assertion
made by Lloyd C. Griscom, president
of tho Republican county committee,
following his conference with Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, which lasted for
nearly three hours.
No change has been made, Mr. Gris
com said, In the program to present
Mr. Roosevelt's name for the temporary
chairmanship In opposition to Vice
President Sherman, who was selected
by the Republican statu committee.
In addition to Mr. Griscom, Repre
sentative Herbert Parsons, who for
merly was head of tho New York coun
ty organization; Representative Wil
liam M. Calder, F. J. II. Kracke, the
naval oillcer; William A. Prcudcrgnst,
comptroller of New York city, and E.
M. Vorhees, postmaster of Brooklyn,
were summoned to Sugamore Hill and
participated In the conference. The
political situation in the state was can
vassed and Mr. Griscom assured Mr
Roosevelt that a majority of tho dele
gates to the Saratoga convention will
support him in his light for "clean cut,
progressive" candidates and n "progres
sive" platform.
"There has been no chnngo In the
program to carry the fight into the
state convention," Mr. Griscom said,
"nnd we are not disturbed as to what
the result will be there. In the pri
maries todiiy New York city and Buf
falo will elect delegates friendly to
Mr. Roosevelt and tho cause which he
represents."
Mr. Griscom said that at the confer
ence possible candidates for the gov
ernorship were discussed. While he
declined to give the names under con
sideration, ho did say in response to
questions that no mention was made
of William II. Hotchkiss, state com
missioner of insurance, or Clark Wil
liams, state comptroller, who Is under
stood to be favored by William Barnes,
Jr., leader of the "old guard" organi
zation. Asked regarding the boom of
Mr. Prendergast, . Mr. Griscom slde-
tepped the question by saying:
"Mr. Roosevelt has no desire to die
tato the nomination of any man. Sev
oral names were discussed, and the
question has not narrowed down to
any ono man or even to two or three
men."
Although Mr. Griscom did not say
so, it can safely be said that the names
mentioned at the conference with Mr.
Roosevelt Included Henry F. Stlmson,
formerly United States district attor
ney; Charles s. Francis of Tray, for
merly ambassador to Austria; William
Loob, Jr., collector of the port; Wil
Ham A. Prendergast, comptroller of
Nuw York city; Seth Low, formerly
mayor of New York city, who recently
announced that he was In sympathy
with the plan to overthrow the "old
guard," and State Senator Davenport
of Oneida county, who was defeated
for renomlnatlon to the state senate
because of the opposition of Mr. Sher
man.
While It Is said no slate will bo ar
ranged by the "progressives" In ad
vance of the meeting of the Saratoga
convention, It is understood that an
effort will be made to bring leaders
together from various parts of the
state to discuss candidates for the
various state olllces and the party
platform. It Is believed here that Mr.
Roosevelt personally favors the noml
nation of either Mr. Davenport or Mr.
Prendergast. Both Mr. Loeb and Mr.
Stlmson are thought to havo been en
tirely eliminated from tho contest be
cause of the fact that they have no
large personal following.
After tho conference Mr. Griscom
said that Mr. Roosevelt had requested
him to nnnounco that President Tuft
Is in full nccord with tho fight being
mado In New York state to dethrone
tho "old guard" leaders.
Mr. Roosevelt will attend tho Suf
folk county fair nt Rlverhcad nest
Thursday uud will there make his nrst
political speech In the New York suite
campaign. lie will attend the state
fair at Syracuso on next Saturday and
mako a speech.
HIGHLANDERS DROP BAK.

Games to Boston.
New York, Sept. 3. Double headers
are the bane of tho Highlanders. Six
times this season they have lost tw
games In one afternoon, and only once
have they won two. They lost two In
Boston yesterday, and to add to the
gloom, they fell to fourth place. The
Bostons passed them and bo did the
Detrolts, who won from tho CIovo-
Innds.

made to the comtnlttte on labor and
wages of tho city's commission on
congestion by Miss Mary Yon Kleeck,
TIP FOR PROBERS
)ity Club Makes Sugges
tions to Graft Committer
CACHE TO PRODUCE BOOKS.
New York Bankers Submit to Requesl
of Qulziers After Much Wrangling.
Names Not Connected With In
vestigation to Be Withheld.
New York, Sept 14. The committee
ppolntcd to probo alleged graft exist
ing In New York state will again meet
today to inquire into the accounts and
dealings of various business institu
tions in New York city. Chairman
Merritt of tho committee sent n letter
to the City club asking for any Infor
mation that might be useful to that
body regarding crooked legislative In
surance methods.
He received a letter from the club In
nswer to his own, in which that or
ganization nsked for a probing thnt
would keep the committee- of "graft
hunters" busy for about two years.
Tho suggestions made by tho organiza
tion Include the inquiry into many bro
kerages and mnny different kinds of
petty grafts alleged to havo been pcr-
potratod during tho last few years.
Tho list caused quite a stir when look
ed over by Mr. Merritt nnd was set
aside for further scrutlnizatlon by the
entire body nfter they pass upon tho
matters now before them.
Chairman Merritt will submit the
letter to u full executive committee
meeting If he can get all the members
behind locked doors.
Leopold S. Bache, head of the bro
kerage firm of J. S. Bache & Co., came
to terms with the legislative commit
tee that Is Investigating graft and con
sented to produce such nccounts of the
firm's customers as are desired by the
committee. The brokers held their
ground to the last ditch and only capit
ulated when convinced that District
Attorney Whitman was on tho point of
Issuing a warrant for the arrest of the
senior partner for violation of section
1330 of tho penal laws.
After a conferenco between counsel
for both sides before District Attorney
Whitman tho terms were agreed upon.
They were tho same that were origi
nally proposed by tho committee
namely, that Bncho & Co. should sub
mit to them a list of their customers
from which they might select the ac
counts which they desired to Inspect.
Jules S. Bache said: "I returned
from tho country and find n tempest In
a teapot.
We haVe agreed to give the com
mittee what we would have given
them from the start and what we havo
constantly offered them If sought In
the manner provided by law.
"We have submitted to them a list
of some 25,000 names now on our
books or at some time during tho pe
riod in question, nnd when thoy have
selected from these names the ac
counts which they desire to Investigate
those accounts will be submitted to
them unless the owners of such nc
counts shall file proper objections."
