THE KINQ AND HIS NUPTIAL AT-TENDANT3.
International Bible Lesson for Oct. 2,
10 (Matt. 25:1-13).
A wedding 1b always find every
where an Interesting event, but In
Oriental lands It Is attended with
long-continued ccronioiilos and bols
torous festivities, In which whole
communities unite. References to
marriage customs are frequently met
with In the Now Testament, and
Christ based eonio of His most strik
ing utterances upon them. In the para
"bio of the wise and foolish virgins ho
emphasizes a great truth.
A Marriage Custom.
Ono of tho marrlago customs In tho
East Includes a company of young
women who attend tho homo coming
of tho brldo, with songs and dances.
They gather in some appointed placo
and on a given signal, go out to meet
tho bridegroom with flaming tbrchos
nd conduct him to tho nuptial feast.
Such a company, says Christ, wore
tho ten virgins, flvo of whom wero
wlso and flvo wero foolish. For somo
Teason, In this Instance, there was do
lay 60 long contlnuod that all tho
watchers fell asloep. It was not un
til the midnight-hour that the Bleep
ers were awakened with the shout, Be
'hold, the bridegroom comotb. Then
they all sprang up to trim their
lamps, when to their consternation,
five of tho attendants discovered that
their lights had burned out, and thoy
'had no oil with which to replenish
them. Tholr fatal folly consisted In
their neglect to provide for the un
looked for emergepcy. Thoy were not
permitted to enter tho new homo
with their empty lamps. Tho wise vir
gins went In -with Joy and gladness
and the door was shut.
Character Not Transferable.
In such dramatic languago Christ
points out tho fact that personal piety
and readiness to moct the bridegroom
of our souls can neither be bought
nor borrowed. He who Is wise must
bo wlso for himself, the foolish can
not have their lack supplied from tho
fullness of the wise.
The foolish virgins said to the wlso
virgins, "give us of your oil for our
lamps are gone out." Dut tho trans
fer could not be made. It was too
late to buy. It was Impossible to bor
row, i
This Is a startling, but perfectly
logical and matter-of-fact statement
Wo can do much for our fellowmen
in this life. If mono is needed, we
con give them that It employment
is required, we can help them to that.
If office is sought, we can assist them
in that. Wo can feed the hungry,
clothe the naked, give medicine to the
sick and comfort to the sorrowing,
but character cannot be transferred,
personal piety cannot be handed from
ono to another. If one Is wise bo
must be wise for himself, but It one Is
a scorner, ho alone shall bear it. No
man will be admitted to heaven on
his wife's tickot Credentials to Para
dise are markod "Not Transferable."
No person can by any possibility take
enough of tho oil of grace with him
on tho road to the kingdom bo that
ho can loan It out to those loss fav
ored. It la a moral Impossibility. Tho
wise virgins without doubt sympa
thized with tholr unfortunato com
panions, but they could not help them.
They could pity, but they could not
relievo. Thoy could not permit tho
shortsightedness of tho foolish to rob
them of the pleasure of the marriage
feast. Personal piety Is a personal
asset and cannot bo transferred.
Oil Only Thing Lacking.
It will be noticed that there was
just one thing In which these virgins
differed. They were all virgins, thoy
all started with lamps and oil, they all
fell asleep, but when the crucial mo
ment came live of Uiem found that
their lamps had gone out, their oil
was exhausted, and it was too late to
replenish tho supply. Tho evil was
not In falling asleep, tho evil consisted
in falluro to make euro of a full sup
ply of oil.
Tho waiting period is tho testing
time. If tho Almighty took every bouI
into heaven at tho moment of conver
sion, eternal llfo would bo attained
more certainly. It 1b tho long and
weary llfo time of waiting that causes
bo many people to fall asleep. Thoy
can run well for a season, but thoy
grow weary In well doing, prodigally
waste their oil, allow their lamps to
dio down, flicker, Bmoko and go out.
In spiritual things as in natural things
it Is necessary often to Bnuff tho can
dle, but not to Bnuff It out Tho good
housokoeper regularly fills and trims
the lamps. She does not wait until
the gueBts begin to arrlvo boforo at
tending to the lighting arrangements,
Tho wnltlng period evidently ex
hausts tho original supply of grace,
the warning consists In taking It for
granted that tho original supply Is
sufficient Because you once were
filled with tho spirit Is no ovldence
that you aro to-day. Tho world Is
full ol peoplo who havo fallen from
grace, Onco thoy wero burning and
shining lights, but tholr lamps are
gono out If sudden summons should
como to them to appear In tho King's
nudlcnco chamber thoy would be
Btartled Into consternation at tholr
lack of tho all-essential thing tho
light of life Fraught with tremendous
force Is tho warning of tho Master,
"What I say unto you, I say unto all,
Watch I" 1

St Petersburg, Sept 37. Count Tol

be made tho recipient of tho Nobel
pence prize for the present year, de
clared that he would ngnln refuse the
honor, ns ho did In 1S07.
He proposes that the priwj slwuld be
given to the Doukhoborn, who carry

HUGHES FOE CHIEF JUSTICE.
His Name Only One Disoussd at Cab
inet Meeting.
Washington, Sept 27. Governor
Hughes' name was the only one men
tioned for chief Justice of the supreme
court at the cabinet meeting. TImj gov
ernor's qualifications were discussed at
considerable length, but nothing defi
nite came from It
The names of several other men were
taken under consideration ns possibili
ties for other vacancies on tlie supreme
court bench. These included United
States Senator George Sutherland of
Utah, Chancellor Pitman of New Jer
sey and Justice Swayze and It V. Lin.
dabury, also of Now Jersey.
Tho consideration of these names
would seem to indicate that the presi
dent desires to give the Third and
Eighth Judicial circuits direct repre
sentation on tho supreme bench.
POWERS OF NATIONAL BANK.
No Right to Pay Premiums on Policy
For Its President
Washington, Sept 27. in answor to
many inquiries from banks Comptrol
ler of the Currency Murray has ex
pressed an opinion that a national
bank has no power to use its funds in
paying premiums on a policy of insur
ance on tho llfo of its president or
other officer not Indebted to tho bank,
though the policy be payable to the
bank.
Powers of a national bank other
than those expressly granted must bo
such, Mr. Murray holds, as are reason
ably Incidental to the exercise of the
powers expressly granted. Insuring
tho life of Its olllccrs, ho says, is not
such nn Incidental power.

What Democratic Victory M
Mean to Pennsylvania,
VAST INTERESTS AT STAKE
Prosporlty Under Protection and Dis
tress and Free Soup Houses Under
Cleveland Regime,
A boastful and blatant Democracy
throughout tho country Is not only de
claring that the next houso of con
gross will bo Democratic, but Ib pre
dicting that the Buccossor to President
Taft will bo a Democrat
Late election returns havo unques
tionably given the Democrats groat
encouragement and reports from cer
tain states until rocontly reliably Re
publican put tho rosult In November
In doubt Thoughtful men, while
dreading tho outcomo, are at a loss to
understand how tho great American
peoplo could return to power a party
which has cnusod bo much misfortune
and dlatross, both to the business In
terosts and tho wago-earnera of thi
Union.
It has only been within the last few
weeks that tho citizens of Pennsyl
vania have apparently begun to real
ize tho soriouB nature of the situation,
and tho re are evidences upon every
hand that the voters of tho Koystonp
State will not bo carried away with
the tide of heresy and fanaticism that
Is swoeplng over tho country.
Warnings are going out In every
direction that Pennsylvania must
Btand firm; that this bulwark of Re
publicanism must remain unshaken
and that evory vote must be polled,
bo that the oloctlon returns shall
sound a trumpet blast to the world
that tho eane and sober citizenship of
the Keystono State has rallied again
around tho bannor of true Republican
ism and protection.
Pennsylvania as the foremost Indus
trial state has more at stake than any
other commonwealth, and her vast
army of wago-earnors, the workers in
the mills and the mines, realize the
Interest oach and every one of them
has In a continuance of Republican
domination of tho affairs of the state
and tho nation.
A Pennsylvania Tariff.
Tho tariff Is more of a vital issue
today than it has been at any time in
the last decade.
Tho tariff act rocently framed and
now In force wero drafted with partic
ular reference to tho fostering of
Pennsylvania interests, with Senators
Penrose and Oliver and a united Penn
sylvania Republican delegation un
flinchingly adhering to tho policy of
protecting the business and Industrial
onterprUos of their homo state, until
the bill became a law with theso In
terests all protected.
If this tariff, with tho few minor
changes proposed, shall bo allowed to
Btand, Pennsylvania wage-earners and
Pennsylvania capitalists can look for
ward to an unprecedented period ot
prosperity.
But the advance agents of business
demoralization, of closed mills and
mines and of shut down factories and
workshops of every description are
abroad In every state. They are
preaching Democracy and disseminat
ing false and misleading doctrlnce.
and especially aro they holding out
falso hopes to the worklngmen, upon
whom they count to swing the elec
tions In evory debatable district. To
the Democratic politicians they are
holding out promises of postmaster
ships and other federal patronage.
Thoy make no mention of the sor
rows and sadness that followed tho
last national Democratic triumph Id
this country. Thoy do not toll of the
popular distress and the destruction of
manufacturing, commercial and all
otbor lines of business brought ubout
through the enactment of tho Demo
cratic tariff bill.
Thoy show no pictures of the free
soup houses that had to he established
by charitable Individuals and, In some
caBes. by municipalities where thou
sands of men, women and children
were out of employment for many
months, many ot them lu u starving
condition, children without Btioes or
clothing, and families evicted toi non
payment of rent.
Pennsylvania votorB will bo called
upon at tho coming election to Bend
men to congress who will stand by the
Taft administration and resist every
effort to change or amend the tariff
especlall) those provisions inserted to
protect Pennsylvania capital and
Peniibylvanlu wage-earners
Elect Republicans tc Congress-
Pennsylvania mubt elect Republican
congressmen to block the schemes of
tht Democrats, who will without doubt
be sent from many doubtful districts
in othor states.
Pennsylvania must, by tho size of
her Republican majority for John K
Tener, nominee for governor, and his
colloaguos on tho Republican state
ticket, emphasize tho foalty of tlila
Btato to tho causo of Republicanism
and the loyalty of tho Republicans of
the state to tho national admlnlstra
tlon.
Should tho Democrats bo successful
In Novombcr In electing a majority
of tho members of tho noit national
bouse of representatives, a disastrous
period of two years to the mercantile
and manufacturing Interests would In
evitably onsuo, and- If this period bo
followed by tho election cf a Demo
cratic president a calamity would be

V. a-t -.ngs now going 6ut to wage
ersri.'.rt! from tho most Intelligent :l
tho mon ainilated with labor organlza
tlons point out that now Is the time
to nvort tho disaster.
Business men, appreciating tho com
mercial and Industrial heights thW
country has rcachod during the last
twelve years, and tho scope and mag
hltudo of our foreign trado, demand
thnt Pennsylvania shall remain stead
fast to tho cause of Republicanism for
their own protection and tho safety
and salvation of tho millions of clti
ions of this prosperous commonwealth
Pennsylvania, the Gibraltar of na
tional Republicanism, It Is predicted,
will roll up a tromendous Republican
majority on Nov. 8 and will send prac
tically a solid Republican delegation
to congross.
ERRY IS JOLTEO
BY MANY BOLTER!
Ho) Over Desertion by Formal
Treasurer Sheatz.
HE HELPED FORM PARTY
Control of Movement by Bryan Demo
crats Too Much For Independent
Republicans.
A series of desertions from the Key
stone Party last week greatly embar
rassed the Berry campaigners.
The trouble was due to the fact that
tho coterie of Dryan Democrats who
have captured the Independent organl
zation persist In Indorsing Democrats
for congress and the legislature. This
is resented by Independent Republl
cans, few of whom have any heart In
the movemont Blnco a Democrat,
Berry, was put at the head of their
Ucket.
Tho most sensational break from
the Berry forces was the resignation
of former State Treasurer John O,
Sheatz, who was ono of the organiz
ers of tho Keystone Party and was
chairman ot Ito first committee on or
ganization. Sheatz wanted an Independent Re
publican named for governor by the
Keystono Party. He took an active
part in the convention, but he and hlB
associates were defeated by the Demo
cratic combination headed by Eugene
C. Bonnlwell, who landed Berry at
the head of the ticket. Then thoy put
up CaBey and Scully for seeretary ot
internal affairs and state treasurer re
spectively, leaving but one lndepend
ent Republican, GIbboney, on the
ticket. He 1b supposed to be running
for lieutenant governor.
Too Much Democracy.
Following up their victory In the
convention the Berryltes havo Indors
ed a big batch of Democrats for con
gress
In resigning from the Keystone
county committee of Montgomery.
Charles Heber Clark, who was a
prominent delegate In the Keystono
Party's state convention, wrote n
scathing letter In denunciation of thf
Indorsement ot Dlffendorfer, Democrat,
for congress on the Keystone tickot.
In which, among other things, he says:
"I will never permit myself to hp
used for the undermining of the na
tlonnl house of representatives ot that
protective tariff system which, In my
Judgment, Is of vital Importance to
the welfare, not only of wage- earners.
but of all the people of tho land. I
urn confident that tho election of a
majority of Democrats, or even a ma
jority ot fanatical tariff revisionists,
to the next congress will produce
widespread depression of business
and millet hurt upon multitudes ot In
nocent peoplo. My hands shall bo
free from tho guilt of helping to pro
duce that great calamity."
On the following day, former Stnte
Treasurer Sheatz Bent u letter to Stato
Chairman Thomas L. Hicks request
ing that his name be taken from the
list of tho committee
Mr Sheatz In commenting upon his
action said ho resigned because he Is
u Republican He found that his
businoss associates In Philadelphia,
members of tho Manufacturers' club,
the Union League and other organiza
tions, are virtually all going to vote
tor John K. Tenor for governor nnd
