KORAH'S INSURRECTION SEVENTEENTH --In Cloud and Pillar Series A STORY OF THE WILDERNESS JOURNEY OF THE HEBREW PEOPLE By the "Hishway and Byway" Preacher (CopyrigLht,~1, I, -) ate uthol. W. 8. Edbon.) Scripture Authority: - Numbers, Chapter 16. SERMONETTE. } "Seemeth it but a small thing p unto you, that the God of Is rael hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring ; you near to himself to do the i service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the + congregation to minister unto them? And he hath brought thee + near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee. And seek ye the priesthood also?" This ninth verse brings be fore us two thoughts of deep significance to the Christian + worker of to-day. ÷ First. The dignity and honor + of any service to which God may , call. + Second. The wicked presump. + tion of coveting the seemingly higher places in God's service. + Let us consider the first es pecially. How glorious is the + thought of the completeness with which God has ordered the affairs of his kingdom, so that there is a place for every soul, a duty for each to discharge, a shar' in the fellowship and bless ing of the Lord,- and a right in the end to hear him say: "Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of thy Lord." Never does the question arise as to whether the servant has wrought in place of high or low degree, but as to how faithful he has served in the place as signed. Never does he ask how much, but how well. The cup of cold water given in the name of the master, receives as high commendation as would the one who had ministered a kingdom in the same name. There is honor at the Lord's hands for the one who serves in lowly, ob scure places as well as the one to whom greater talents have been given and serves in the place of distinction and honor. The head cannot say to the foot, the body hath no need of thee, neither can the foot say to the head, thou art nothing to me; I will not serve with thee. Each has his place to fill. Happy that Christian who has learned that it is no small thing that the Lord hath separated him to bring him near to himself and to do serv Ice in his kingdom. If Korah had remembered that it was God, not Moses, he was serving, he might have escaped the aw ful sin into which he fell and have never suffered the terrible judgment of God's wrath. + It is sadly true that the sin of Korah is common to-day among Christian workers in kind, if not degree. Many an one aspires to a place in the visible kingdom of God to which God has never called. Many a heart is palsied with Its weight of jealousy, so that the Christian's usefulnes is all destroyed, and the place he might fill is deserted, and, worse still, the influence upon othert il demoralizing, and others are led away from God. Let not the first seed of jeal- , ousy find lodgment in thy heart. Serve God with an eye single to his glory. Remember Jesus' Words: "He that exalteth him elf shall be abased, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted." THE STORY. , AMRLY 20 years had passed since that fateful day when Israel had ntned away from the Lord and had *tUged to go and possess the land. ha b d been years of wandering wi Weary struggle in the wilderness, :*%ihthor God had driven them as pun Slaent for their sin, but up to the U of our story there had been no ct or well-defined opposition at Moses and Aaron in their 1Esrhip and their ministry before PDeople. :h first intimation which had come ith there was trouble brewing was On0 of Moses' faithful servants ) brought the tidings that Korah C eaed his allotted ministry in h ttple service and was leading nto a similar neglect of duty. cdkly it became noised through t Camp of Israel what Korah i 4doe, that he refused longer to n the place Moses had as anmd that he declared that d no more authority than W h as vested in every first [L Many an ominous shake ~ he.s and sympathetic utter '- iacted that this move of Ko ta Popular approval, and It as told Moses that the peo being drawn into the insur. * arose and in haste went ile whither Kora* and his bd gone. 15 Will see what Moses will S the people, as they ider hurrying on his way, olowed at a distance and I o MOses entered the place Sat4 those concerned with the insurrection had gatheled. Unannounced and coming in abrupt. ly, Moses created something of a stir as he pressed forward through the assembly. The followers of Korah fell back itf guilty fear, making a passageway for Moses, but as they turned and saw the bold defiance of their newly chosen leader, they took new courage. Moses said not a word, but fixing his eyes on the man before him, he looked him through and through, and %rs, waited for him to speak. Apparently unmoved by the searching gaze of Moses, Korah spoke up at once, bold , ly declaring so that all could hear: "Ye take too much upon you, Moses, seeing all the congregation are holy, 4 every one of them, and the Lord is among them; wherefore then lift ye up yourself above the congregr tion of the Lord?" At these startling words. Mos,es fell upon his face and cried in shame t and sorrow unto the Lord. Then he + arose and again fixing his stern gaze upon Korah., said: "Even to-morrow the Lord will show who are his, and who is holy; and + will cause him to come near unto +him; even hint whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him. I Do this: Take your censors, Korah, + and all your company, and put fire( +iltherein. and put incense ill them h,, fore the Lord to-morrow; and it shall 3 be that the man whom the Lord doth + choose, he shall be holy. Ye take too much upon you, ye son of Levi. Seemeth it but a small thing unto you that the God of Israel hath sep arated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them? And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee; and seek ye the priesthood, also? For which cause + both thou and all thy company here are gathered together against the Lord. And what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?" Having said which, Moses passed quickly out and returned to his own tent before the door of the tabernacle. Nothing else was talked of in all the camp of Israel that night save the contest which was to take place on the morrow, and at the appointed time all the people came together. Korah and his following were al ready there and with their censors in their hands were preparing for the test. Full of bold confidence he passed among the people, and it was plain 'to see that nearly the entire congregation stood with him. Then it was that the glory of the Lord shone out with startling vivid nes to all the congregation of the peo ple from the pillar of cloud overhang. ing the tabernacle, and the Lord the people declared it thundered, and fear fell upon them. And the Lord said: "Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment." Then Moses and Aaron rushed out towards the people, and, falling upon their faces, they cried unto the Lord, saying: "O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one .man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congrega tion?" And the people, when they heard the cry of Moses and saw the glory of the Lord overshado-ving them, trem bled, and in response to the command of the Lord, Moses and Aaron arose and came forward to the place where Korah and his followers were stand ing, and said: "Depart, I pray you,.from the tents of these wicked men. and touch noth ing of theird, lest ye be consumed Sin ,all their sins." Thus warned, the people departed, + but as they moved away, Dathan and . biram, two of the leading spirits with Korah. came' forward and de rided the people for their fears, and + called to them to return. Then came SOn, the son of Peleth, one who up to Sthis time had been active in the in Ssurrection, and made as though he Swould follow Moses and Aaron, who had turned and were departing to their place. Lce ad And Dathan and Abiram cried after ad them in derision, and their wives and d. their sons and their little children ng standing with them joined in the rid icule, charging them with being cow n ards and menials of this man Moses, he whom, from now on, they were going no to cease to serve. on And Moses lifted his voice and said: er "Hereby ye shall know that the >re Lord hath sent me to do all these works. If these men die the common me death of all men, then the Lord hath ras not sent me. But if thev Lord make its a new thing, and the eartn open her ah mouth and swallow them up, with in all that appertain unto them, and they ng go down quick into the pit; then ye ty. shall understand that these men have oh- provoked the Lord." ah Scarcely had the words of Moses to died away on the air when with a as- fearful rumbling the earth broke asun lat der at the point where Korah an, an Dathan and Abiram, together wilh rst their wives and children, were gath ke ered, and with one awful shriek of er- agony and terror, they all were swept Co- from sight into the yawning chasm. nd And while the people beheld in eo- speechles horror, the earth closed ur- again. Then the people broke and nt fled in terror, saying: "Lest the earth his swallow us up also." And there came a fire out from the ill Lord and consumed the 250 men that .ey offered incense with Korah. Thus ay, perished those who had considered so nd lightly their own duties and had in Le jealous presumption sought to dis led credit God's anointed.

There ought to be-CO-OPERA. e TION, CONFIDENCE, PATIENCE t e and PERSISTENCE! In the writer's family the fruit bill 1. Is considerably larger than the meat s bill, and there is no doctor's bill. That e looks like a good text for those who e have a spot on which they could plant e some trees or berries. With a family of five, we have have put up as many as e 250 half-gallon jars of peaches and t 1. berries year after year, and then buy . apples all winter besides. The fruit eaten is about evenly divided between d raw and cooked. Or course the doctor needs business, but the man that gives d the doct3r the largest business is the worst off. e A livelier interest should be takt, in the management anti provision for it public sclools than the Unions have' n heretofore taken. There is great need .f reform in many districts; some are 1 y pt holidays than teacher holidays, Ev. .r- cry parent and guardian should have e wards; and, sorry to have to say it, some parents and guardians shoui;l ' get on better terms of acquaintance with their chiltdren and wards them- I d selves.

In all the walks of life there are ip frauds and hypocrites, and if some 1 happen to get into the Union, and at I in times get into prominent places, it is i. only a natural occurrence. This fact at i; not to be held up against the Union. It is a thing to be remedied by cast i:lg out the unworthy. Kill the nox iois weeds in this field just the same as yti d(1) in y(ur cottn patch.

The Farmers' Union doesn't shift I and vary its position to suit the plans and schemes of speculators. It does j not declare for eleven cents minimum at one time only to threaten to demor alize the market by retreating to ten cents shortly thereafter, and then a little later make another somersault r in the air and declare for fifteen cents. , It believes that the farmer is entitled I to at least eleven cents for his cot- I ton. Isn't that right.-Mercury Pass word. The chump that is selling cotton ..n the streets at any old price somebody offers him deserves about what is com- it ing to him, and If were the only suf ferer, all would be well. He isn't the t only sufferer, for his demoralization 8 of the market hurts everybody. There v 0o is hardly an act that he can perform I that has not some bearing on some- IF body else. Good missionary work can be done by every Union man along this line, and his preaching will be a b whole lot more effective if he will fol t low it up with a perfect practice. The n Union man has set the price at eleven a 'r cents, and the man who fails to stand 5 to it is not a Union man. BUILD We WAREHOUSES! t' p Now, that the fall is fully upon us, t we again ask if the tools, implements and vehicles of the place are all under In il a protecting shed. A ten-dollar shed will make a seventy-five-dollar wagon last three times as long as it would if . left out of doors. There is hardy a t farmer in all the South that could fairly wear out a good wagon from y usual use on the farm, but the fact d that many farmers have to buy new c wagons every three or four years shows that they go somewhere, and Sthat somewhere is to the tooth of the destroying elements. It is an I honest fact that no man has a right to let valuable tools and vehicles stand out in the weather till they are ruined. is A country paper in Utah advertises II Id a pure bred Jersey calf, of the "mas.

The men who operate large farms. and depend on hired help to do the work are now finding it hard to get men who will stand for the long hours and low wages that farm hands must receive to make such farming pay. Now, of all times, the officers of Local and County Unions should be active and alert. Everything depends on vigorous action by Union men now. Our enemies are exerting themselvcs to the utmost to dishearten and dis concert us. Do you assent to the doctrine that the producers is entitled to the full value of what he produces? If you do not, then the Farmers' Union doesn't need you. It seems probable that the Co-opera tive Congress called to meet at To peka, October 22, will be well attend ed, and that men will be present from almost every State in the West, the North and the South. THE CHICKEN FOR THE FARM. In selecting a breed of ohickens for the farm to add to its appearance, also bring in a nice profit, there are a few points we must consider. First, laying qualities. Second, quick growth. Third. reasonable hardi ness. Fourth, nice appearance. The farmer and his family are en titled to the best the farm can pro duce. In everything we get the fresh est and choicest products of the soil. FARMERS UNION AT STATE FAIR OF TEXAS. President E. A. Calvin will be mas. ter of ceremonies. A number of distinguished speakers have been invited to make addresses on this occasion, as follows: Thos. M. Campbell, of Palestine. "The needs of the State Board of Agri. culture." N. A. Shaw of Texarkana.-"The Growth of the Cotton Industry." Green B. Patterson of Oklahoma "The Necessity of Organization and Co-Operation..' N. C. Murray, Ex-President Farmers' Union-"The Progress of the Farm ers' Union." An immense crowd is expected. Be on hand. The famous singer, Madame Sembrich, will also give a selected concert in the Auditorium, and orches tras and bands will discourse popular airs. A olored roof is much prettier than one permitted to grow brown. Shin. gles dipped in paint or coal tar or stained before putting on, will last much longer. If seed are saved from the best specimens on the best vines or stalks they will not run out, but will grow better all the time. It pays much better to save seed than it does to buy them. New and desirable varie ties are frequently found among the ordinary plants. These should be saved. LEARN LESSONS IN AMERICA.
