Serpent." Num. 31:1-9.
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
Recent weeks have witnessed a
widespread controversy concerning' the
causes of the August panic in the stock
market. The subject has been dis
cussed with much heat. The general
Inability to diagnose business, politi
cal and social conditions is really quite
remarkable in this are of efficiency
and exact science. Not so' with the
calamity which overtook an ancient
people in the wilderness round about
the Red Sea. Their panic ana suner
Jng was increased by the fact that they
clearly perceived the reason therefor.
They, in their simplicity, knew that
there is a direct relation between evil
conditions and offenses against God.
Herein modern civilization may learn
a valuable lesson from them.
The Unlearned Lesson.
The man who stumbles twice, or
twenty times, over the same obstruc
tion, can scarcely expect to find a
niche among the wise men. Just so
foolish had been the Children of Is
rael. For nearly forty years they had
been in the wilderness, ever sinning
the same sin and being heavily pun
ished for it- Their principal failing
waa lack of faith in God. With every
reason to trust him, they yet per
versely persisted in unbelief. The
forms of offense varied, but their na
ture was ever the same, lack of faith
in God. From the first whimper on
the Egyptian side of the Red Sea to
the murmuring at Merlbah. it waa ever
the same distrust of the divine Leader
who had given them every reason to
repose implicit confidence in him.
Btill they remained a rebellious and
nrrateful people. We are not sur
prised that Moses got mad at them.
It is no wonder that Jehovah waa re
peatedly ready to give them up as a
bad Job. Even the long waiting at Ka-desh-barnea,
when every man above
twenty perished because of the unbe
lief which refused to go up into the
promised land, had not wrought a
cure of complaining. Of course there
were seasons of repenting, and Israel
seems to have see-sawed up and down
between contrition and misconduct
through all the forty years in the wil
derness. Broadly speaking, though,
faith was lacking. For that matter,
Is not the sin of all sins today unbe
lief? What was the query of Jesus:
"When the Son of man returns, will he
find faith In the earth?" We try to
substitute the machinery of civilization
for faith; but the Son of man will not
look for civilization, and the cunning
works of men's brains, when he re
turns, but for faith the very sort of
faith which was missins from among
the Israelites.
The Visitation of Serpents.
The pilgrims were on the march,
had left Kadesh-barnea, the place of
penance, and Were Journeying by a cir
cuitous route to the land of their de
sire. But they were discouraged. It
is only the rare spirit which is not af
fected by environment; spiritual con- i
dition Is often, although not necessar
ily a thing of circumstances. The hot
sands of the desert, the blinding glare
of the sun, the heavy-footedness of
such travel, the burdens to be borne,
the fleas, the enemies, and all the in
numerable annoyances and privations,
email and great, had worn the people's
nerves. So "because of the way," they
were discouraged, and everything
looked blue to them, as it always does
to a discouraged person.
Then they began to "lay it on the
Lord." as we still have a fashion of
blamieg all our troubles upon a bene
ficent Providence. Of course they
found fault with Moses, but that was
only an indirect way of shifting the re
sponsibility upon Him whose repre
sentative Moses was. They complained.
In the old way, that they were likely
to die in the wilderness, that there
waa no bread and no water, and that
he manna was not desirable, and that,
altogether, they would better have
2een left in Egypt.
Everything must have a limit, ex
cept the love of God. His patience has
Straits. Some eminent law-breakers
are today pouting and whining like
spelled babes because the public at
length reached an end of its forbear
ance and demanded a reckoning of
,them. Why, the very patience of Je
hovah himself has an end as the
complaining Israelites found when the
(visitation of serpents came down upon
'them. The same God who had
plagued Egypt with frogs and locusts
and files could chastise his own with
serpents.
The Dawn of Terror.
Of all the creatures that inhabit this
earth the serpent la everywhere re
corded as the most loathsome. He is
the dread of all simple peoples, and
revelation makes' him the incarnation
of the temoter. What a terror must
have smitten the camp when this
?ilague first fell upon it. The sudden
nerease of the bitten ones, the simi
larity of the affliction and the ubiquity
of the snakes all argued against acci
dent. Conscience instantly told the
sufferers why the punishment had
been sent. Orientals will sit down in
calmness, as I have seen them, In the
presence of the black plague. But
this sudden alarm of serpents spring
ing with deadly fang from wayside
footprints, from the shadow of rock or
shrub, and infesting the very house
hold equipments this was a nerve
racking terror. The scream of the
newly-bitten, the groans of the thirsty
dying, the Bhrlll walling of the be
reaved, were not more awful than the

constant fear, fresh in every mind.
that each might be the next victim.
The leader at whom the people had
railed they now thronged with plead
ings, beseeching Moses to pray for
their deliverance. To them the ser
pents stood for sin their own sin of
unbelief. So their contrite cry rang
out, "We have- sinned, because we
have spoken against the Lord, and
against thee; pray unto the Lord that
he take away the serpents from us."
When the Sliip Went Down. '
One of the" revealing stories which
come from the recent terrible wreck
on the Pacific coast told how the sur
vivors had gathered, around a minister
of the gospel and prayed, as only
drowning people can pray. In its deep
need every spirit instinctively turns to
uod; alas, that it should require a ca
lamity to bring this to pass with so
many of us. The Israelites were obey
ing one of the deepest human instincts
when they turned to Jehovah for
help. The final argument for prayer
is not to be found In the books, -but
in the breast of man.
Forbearing, . long-suffering, patient
still, God heard. Since the affliction
had been sent as a punishment of un
belief, the healing should be by an
act of faith. The sufferers should be
saved through a symbol. Moses was
directed to make a serpent , of brass
and erect it upon a pole in the sight
of the whole camp, so that, whosoever
should look upon it would find life.
God made faith a test of healing; the
man who would not look, could not
live. .
The effect of the proclamation is
thus imagined by one commentator:
"As the herald passed along, what a
Bcene the camp would present! There
you might see a man all but dead, rais
ing himself upon his arm, and strain
ing his glazed eyes, ft haply he might
behold the glittering svmbol: vonder
another, wiping away his tears of an
guish to look upon the glorious ob
ject; and yonder still, a mother with
her child, eagerly pointing to the staff,
if perchance she may fix her loved
one's rase upon the mystic healer."
The Story with a Moral.
Following the example of the Great
Teacher, this dramatio incident must
be used primarily for its illustrative
value. It points one great truth, the
truth of all others which forever is
the need of the times, Man has been
sorely bitten by the serpent of sin. He
must suffer and perish unless saved.
But he can be saved Only by faith.
"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in
the wilderness, so must the Son of
man be lifted up, that whosoever be
lleveth in him may have eternal life."
The healing of the world's suffering
from sin is only by the up-raised
cross.
"There is life for a look at the Cruci-
nea one."

RELIGIOUS THOUGHT,
Gems Gleaned from tho Teachings of

REAL CHRISTIANS.
Christian life is not conformity to
rules,- whether mada by apostle or
council or local church. - Men cannot
be legislated into sons by either civil
or ecclesiastical, enactment. Only .a
spirit, within, automatlo and self-regulative
in all realms, - makes us really
children of God. He trusts us even
when we do not . trust ourselves or
when men distrust us. That is the es
sence of his forgiveness. Rev. Dr. W.
C. Bitting, Baptist, St. Louis.
A DREAM WE) OUGHT TO DREAM.
- -Suppose Christianity were realized.
Suppose everybody lived Christian
lives and called Christianity the truth.
That la a dream, it Is true, but one
about which, we ought to dream.
Rev. Charles F. Aked, Baptist, New
York.
INTELLIGENCE AND KNOWLEDGE
Knowledge is power, but growth in
knowledge and growth in grace are not
at' all Identical. Intelligence can be
Bhown as well by a shrewd schemer or
a polished rogue as in a bank, presl- j
dent, isoucauon is not merely infor
mation. Rev. T. H. Nash, Episcopal- 1
lan, Newark, O.
GREAT IN GOD'S SIGHT.
Man is greater in his goodness than
he is in anything else in this -life;
therefore the man who strives to do
the will of God is greater In his good
ness than the man who wins battles
on the field. If we wish to be great
in the sight of God,' let us try to fol
low in his footsteps. Rev. A. F. McAl
lister, Universalist, Riverside, CaL
CHURCH INFLUENCE.
Every church carries the gospel
message by its every outward- appear
ance and speaks to - every heart of its
divine purpose. The mere - sight of
men, women or children going or re
turning from church or Sunday school
gives' its message to the heart and de
clares something that we will find in
the great sermon the Saviour uttered.
Rev. C. O. Jones,' Methodist, At
lanta, Gs
LIFE'S VALUE.
Every life has a threefold value a
value in itself and for itself, a value
In Its relations and for society, a value
In its destiny and for God. These can
not be separated in any life, but they
must be appreciated In their separate-
ness in order that they may be effective
In their completeness. Lire s value is
In itself. No life is simply means to
an end. Every life is an end in Itself,
in Itself a purpose of God and a plan
of God. Rev. Dr. John F. Carson,
Presbyterian, Brooklyn.
CHRISTIAN LIFE'S TRUE NOTE.
Being a Christian man is being all
a man can be. Holiness is near kin to
haleness, which means health, and
haleness close kin to wholeness, which
means integrity, soundness. Complete
ness. Christian life is not giving up,
but growing up; not lopping off, but
looming up. Its true note Is not as
cetic, but athletic, and when Christ an
nounced that he came that men might
have life more abundantly he did not
mean longer life, but life overflowing,
rich In content and extent, with far
horizons and wide outlook. Rev. F.
Boyd Edwards, Congregatlonalist
Brooklyn.
FACING OUR DUTY.
Only a coward runs away from duty.
If you have committed a sin, walk
right in and confess it, and your life
will be clean of that sin and you will
be strengthened. I tell you, most peo
ple about facing their duty are like a
young mare from the country who
shies when she sees a street car and
runs and prances until the" master
leads her right up to the car by. the
bit, and the filly is not afraid any
more. The devil keeps you scared
about your duty all the time, and the
best thing for you to do is to come
right up and look it in the face. Don't
be afraid: It won't kill you. Rev. Dr.
S. Edward Young, Presbyterian, Pitts
burg. GOD'S GLORY IN THE FACE.
You will see a great deal ,of the
glory of God in the face of a woman
when her face is willing to let Us sec
ret lie in the open the face of a wo
man that has e-on a way long enough
to have had her face shaped a little bv
the things she herself has. done ana
by the life she herself has lived. My
conviction Is that there are not many
things on earth or in heaven so beau
tiful as a woman's iook wnen mo
a chance to shine its way through.
Sometimes I have seen a woman bend
over the bed of somebody asleep, and
had no thought, no thought at all, of
how she herself was, of how she her
self looked, bending over the bed of
somebody asleep, smoothing a pillow,
rearranging a tangled lock of hair,
picking the head partly up with much
care so as to get a chance to hug the
sick body a little without seeming to
hug It at all. If you ever saw that,
you saw a face which wore the re
fulgent look -of the love unspeakable
of God. The glory of God was in it,
because It was a glory of love. R?v

J. M. Cavaness of Chanute has
emerged. This time his medium is a
dainty little book with an Illuminated
cover, which he calls Jayhawker Ju
leps. Any inference that it may relate
to tha famous Kentucky concoction is
dispelled as soon as the cover is turned
back, for there is found a brief intro
duction by Governor E. W. Hoch.
And every one knows he would not
have a thing to do with anything hav j
tng such a flavor. '
Governor Hoch's bouquet is as fol
lows: "I have not seen all the ma-.
terlal which is to constitute the new
candidate for public favor, Jayhawker
Juleps, but I know the author, J. M.
Cavaness and have read much Of his !
verse. No Kansas poet is more con
scientious than he, and the work of
none more wholesome. As an author, !
he is original, sentimental, and inspir- j
ing. The world is better because he j
has lived in it, and the realm of let-:
ters is richer because of his contribu
tions. I doubt not his Jayhawker Ju
leps will add to his laurels."
It has been many years since Mr.
Cavaness published in conjunction
with his brother, who has since died,
"The Poems of Two Brothers," and his
latest effort will be welcome. Here is
a single stanza from the first poem
in the book which will give a sugges
tion of his style and sentiments:
"I would not- be a boy again,
Upon my mother's knee.
When her old slipper fell like rain
On parts I could not see;
Nor was it any easy thing
To face a father's wrath
And hear a switch in high C sing
Out by the garden path."
There are, of course, more serious
things in the hook, but the- style
throughout is free and - refreshing.
A little story is being- told of a
rather pleasing incident which oc
curred aa a result of the perusal of
Anna Katharine Green's detective
story, The Mayor's Wife, by two young
people in Chicago. The gentleman in
question having found uie novel interesting-,
. sent a copy to a clever girl
friend, who is more than attractive to
him. The lady enjoyed the book, and
in writing her note of thanks and ap
preciation transcribed her message in
the cipher used in the tale. ; On the
envelope she wrote house and street
number in plain English, but used the
characters of the cipher (In spelling
her admirer's name. . The young man
Uvea on an avenue which crosses a
business street that is largely occu
pied by Chinese laundries and restaur
ants, and the mall carrier of the dis
trict, who delivers much matter to the
Celestials, jumped ' to the conclusion
that the peculiar-appearing- name on
this letter must be Chinese, so he took
It to one of-the laundrymen .to be in
terpreted. Hop Ling was deeply inter
file letters absolutely unrelated to his
ested. - but emphatically pronounced
language. The carrier then presented
the note at the proper address, say
ing: "Here's a letter from some
heathen foreigner who has used your
bumber by mistake. I know it isn't
for any of your people." Fortunately
the lover himself was present and rec
ognized the handwriting in the ad
dress. He claimed the missive, and
then devoted three days to digging out
tne maaen meaning- of tne delightful
communication.
A new book by that forceful writer.
Ralph Waldo Trine, is now in the
presses- of Thomas Y. Crowell & Co.
It is entitled "This Mvstical Life of
Ours," and is a selection of Mr. Trlne's

by members of the large cosmopolitan

through generations of inheritance, a
representative dish of his or her par
ticular nationality, including the Span
ish, Mexican, Italian, French, Ha

of cookery. The selection is so admir
able that it leaves little or nothing to
be teslrtd. The formulas are given
in terms so clear that even the novice
will be able to approximate in execu
tion to the intention of their contribu
tors, while the finished cook will see
in them opportunities rarely presented
to add piquant concoctions to the rou

The Century Co. has obtained from
fin Italian noblewoman, Lisi Clprlana,
an unsual manuscript which will be
published this fall under title of "A
Tuscan Childhood." It is the record '
of her own childhood; and is said to
present an authentic and charming '
picture of domestic life in an Italian
patrician family. .
The Macmlllan company, one of the
largest publishing houses in America,
is occupying- temporary quarters this
summer while extensive additions are
being made to their building at S4-68
Fifth Avenue, New York. When the
present building was erected in 1898
It was thought to provide ample space
for the prospective growth of the busi
ness. But years ago the old building
was entirely outgrown, and the addi
tion now in process of erection will
more than double Its capacity. The
company expects to take up its occu
pancy of the new building before the
end of the year.
Elinor Glyn has cabled to Duffleld
& Company that she will provide a
Preface to the American edition of
"r, ree Weeks," which they are pub
lishing. The storm of discussion which
the book has roused in England has
provoked the author to deny some of
the unconventional views Imputed to
her by her critics. Mrs. Glyn, who
will shortly visit America, is a sister
of Lady Duff-Gordon, , whose daugh
ter's engagement to "Viscount Tiverton
has just been announced.
Among the autumn publications of
F. A. Stokes company there will be
novels by Francis Hodgson Burnett,
Harold Bindloss. Elisabeth ' Robins,
Weymer Jay Mills and Duffleld Os
borne. There will also be a special
gift edition of "The Garden of Al
lah," by Robert Hichens. This edition
will contain thirty-two full-pare il
lustrations of unusual beauty from
photographs or tne scenes of the novel
taken for this purpose. The book is
printed on special paper with wide
margins and has a handsomely de
signed binding-.
Owen Wlster's interest in American
history has been so repeatedly shown
that the announcement ef a book by
nim on ueorge wasnington is not alto
gether a surprise. Each of his novels
has been a genuine contribution to
American-history. "The Virginian" is,
and is likely to remain, our classic ac
count of the frontier civilization in
which the cowboy was the dominant
figure. "Lady Baltimore," represent
ing another phase of American life
has been commended by no less a his
torian than James Ford Rhodes, as al
most indispensable to the understand
ing of conditions in the South since the
War. It will be recalled also that Mr.
Wlster's little biography of General
Grant, published some years ago, was
one of the most successful examples of
miniature biography ever produced. It
is understood that the forthcoming
book, the title of which is "The Seven
Ages of Washington," Is not to be a
bulky and detailed account of Wash
ington's life, but rather a comprehen
sive summing up of his character and
Influence. Strangely enough, this seems
to be the one thing that Washington's
innumerable biographers have not yet
done, and Mr. Wister may, therefore,
be said to have this particular field to
himself, in spite of the familiar ap
pearance of his subject.

tober, the most finely illustrated work
upon this subject in the field. The
book ts to contain reproductions of one
hundred and forty-three paintings of
American artists. These include work
by every American artist of note. Most
of them are unfamiliar to those who
have never sen the originals, and
some of them have never before been
reproduced. This Is doing a service to
American artists in the way of stimu
lating public interest for which they
should be gra'.eful.
The recent false report of Tolstoi's
death was given such widespread pub
licity as to awaken renewed and wide
spread interest in his work. Nor has
this interest been confined to his best
known books, for it has turned to
some of his earlier writings, in which
he used more of action and incident
with less of philosophy. In early man
hood he was a soldier and fought In
the great defense of Sebastopol
against, the allied armies: and among
the most impressive of all his books
is a little one which he wrote shortly
after the siege, entitled Sebastopol. In
vivid realism it is unsurpassed by any
thing in his later and more pretentious
works, for, although written In the
form of fiction, it presents his personal
impressions of war scenes, set down
while those impressions were new and
strong. Some years ago the Harpers'
published an admirable translation of
this book, with an introduction by
William Dean Howells. The book con
sists of three parts: Sebastopol in De
cember, 1864) Sebastopol in May,'
1856; Sebastopol In August, 1865; and
all are written with tens and vivid
brevity of style.
The neatest, most artistic and hand
somest book of travel ever published In
Kansas hes Just come from the press of
Adams Brothers of Topeka. The author
Is Mrs. J. W. Going, wife of the secre
tary of the Shawnee Fire Insurance com
pany and it bears the appropriate title
"Going Abroad." The book is written in
a pleasing, direct style and begins with
the start of the journey at New Tork.
The reader is taken along Just like a
companion on the long trip for the little
things which are always Interesting but
are usually overlooked by the travel
writer are not forgotten. For Instance,
Mrs. Going tells how the ship Is provis
ioned and includes the fact that the Ice
cream for 850 persons was frozen be-,
fore the ship left New Tork to last for
the three months' cruise. The author .
does not worry the reader with the des-
crlptlon of well known places like)
Gibraltar and hersentenees are short and,
Incisive. The traveler is taken through:
Egypt, Algiers, the Holy Land, Italy, '
Greece, Switzerland, France and Eng
land. Mrs. Going writes well and she
has taken the pains to Illustrate her
book quite as well as any of the books
of travel published nowadays and much
better than most of them. There are 80
full page half tones, every one of them
a gem. - Fortunate Indeed will be the
friends of the author who receive a copy
for it is printed privately, not for gen-,
eral circulation and only 250 copies are
published. , . ,
