Elkins Won’t Stop Marriage to Duke
QENATOH ELKINS will not opirosc
O the marriage of his daughter Kntli
erlnc to the duko of the Ahruzzi after
all. The wedding probably will be
solemnized In November.
If the duke were us sure of this as
la Washington society, he would he
npared a lot of worry. As a matter of
fact, the duke Is about to sturl for
Washington, fearing all the while thut
the senator will withdraw his consent
to the marriage on account of Queen
Helena's unrelenting opitoaition.
The duke fears Senator Klkins will
play the part of a high spirited Ameri-
can and endeavor to prevent the mar-
riage, fearing that with the Itallun
royal family so bhiighty, his daugh-
ter's position ul court would he rather
equivocal.
Senator Klkins Is said to have given
the matter careful thought utid de
elded that on account of the duke's
high position, the young women would
soon force merited recognition.
Queen Helena is one of the most
uncompromising enemies of the mar-
riage. Her majesty, u princess of
Montenegro, seems anxious to show
her devotion to the dignity of the
house of Savoy, which her own mar-
riage Imperiled, aa disappointed match
making royal mothers saw when it
was celebrated.
Save among Republicans and So
flutists, public opinion In Rome, ac
cording to a dispatch, reflects, dls-
tortedly. the royal opposition. The
Italians are angry because the Amorl
cans, Instead of loudly rejoicing that
Miss Klkins was to marry Into the
royal house, have taken an unonthusi-
asilc attitude toward the love affair.
Government Clerk Is Sadder But Wiser

I Stephen K. Booth, government
ilerk, is no more aggravated than
nany another story that might In* told
iy persons who have come to Waah-
ngton to settle down in a federal
rerth for a life of happiness and peace
f not luxury and affluence—only to be
•udoly awakened to a condition of af-
airs that would cause an ordinary
lerson to turn pessimist even to the
mint of wishing that there were no
inch thing as a government.
Considering everything, Stephen
’ared remarkably well. In the end he
-ame out with a government job; not
is good a one as he had bultded on.
rerhaps, but a government job. just
he same. Thousands have not sur-
vived so fortunately.
Stephen comes from Minnesota. For
*ight years he labored, if that word
yan be used properly in connection
with the things that a government
Merk does in order to draw Ills salary.
He worked in the bureau of the cen-
ius. Gradually his compensation was
increased during that, time until it
reached the figure of >1.200 a year.
Then Stephen became fired with an
ambition. He took a look around him
and decided be could do better in
some other department of l'nolo Sam's
aervice. So he “accepted" a position
as a special agent in the immigration
aervice, under the department of jus-
ire. This was in May of this year.
Stephen is a man of a family. His
lew work took him back to Minnesota,
which Is one of the pathetic features
of the story. His headquarters were
at St. I’aul. where he moved his fam-
ily after disposing of all his household
effects in the capital city. For a short
time—less than a month, in fact—he
enjoyed his new field of work and his
increased salary, for, with the addi-
tion to ills responsibilities there had
also come an increased amount in ills
semi-monthly pay envelope. In the
evenivgs he was wont to stroll out
and mingle ugaiti with his old-time
cronies. He talked to them knowingly
about matters pertaining to the na-
tional government, and incidentally
impressed on them that perseverance
is the only requisite of success under
the civil service.
One day Stephen received a letter
from Washington. It was couched in
formal language, but from reading it.
Stephen gathered that the government
had no longer any need for his serv-
ices. or words to that effect. The gov-
ern meat was very, very sorry, so said
the man whose signature was attached
to the letter.
It was this way: Congress had
failed to grant the amount required
and expected for Hie service, ami it
would be necessary to dispense with
the services of the new appointees. It
meant a laying off of a number of em-
ployes In each of the 11 districts, into
which the service is divided.
Stephen is now back in the bureau
of census. His salary is only >1.000
n year, for his place bad been filled
ns soon as he left, and it just hap-
pened that Director North had a va-
cancy in the lower grade. 11 cost him
something to move out to Minnesota
and back again, but. taken all in all
and in the light of experience had by
others which turned out less fortunate
ly. he considers that, at least, it might
have been worse.

SfRMONCTTE
The tore of the return of the
Jews from thotr cspttvtty at
Babylon wa* definitely fixed and
made known by God to his
prophet Jeremiah, and through
him to the people.
When God «o graciously re-
vests his "times and seasons” to
man, it is that they may get into
step with the Divine program
and falter not in faith until
promise becomes reality.
How wonderful and reassur
ing is the thought that after all
that man can say or do the fact
remains that this old world is
in the control of the infinite and
Is being run according to the
schedule set by God away back
in the beginning of time.
Man's iniquity may confuse
and obscure. His disobedience
to the Divine will and law may
hinder and delay, but they can-
not stay for one moment the
unfolding of the larger purposes
of God for the world.
"Seventy years," God said, and
70 years it was.
But God does not always re-
| Jij veal the definite time of his
| $ movements, and it were folly for
man to try to penetrate the veil
of the unknown and learn the
secret schedule.
Christ is coming again, but "of
that day and that hour knoweth
no man, no, not the angels which
are in heaven, neither the Son,
but the Father.”
Therefore watch!
Tl'e “thus saith the Lord,"
which declares the promise of
the return and fixes the date on
which the wonderful explana-
tion: "For I know the thoughts
that I think toward you,
thoughts of peace and not of
evil, to give you an end and an
expectation.”
And the unfolding of God's
plan for the world since then
has gloriously confirmed and es-
tablished this declaration.
“Thoughts of peace and not
of evil." God extends to the
world thorugh his Son the olive
branch of peace. Whose fault
will it be if that olive branch
refused becomes at last the
avenging sword of God's judg-
ment against evil?
O
oooooooooooooooooooooooooo
THE STORY.
la thy love is toward ihy wayward
people of Israel, O God."
The words were spoken in an ec-
stasy of religious fervor, and the
prophet Jeremiah arose as he spoke,
and going to the open door, lie looked
out across the landscape towards I lie
east. But as he stood there lie did
not seem to lie studying Ihe scene
which stretched in all its beauty be-
fore him. His eyes seemed only lo
be looking into space, as though striv-
ing to penetrate to regions beyond the
range of his vision.
“All," he broke oul at last, "my
brethren over there shall find comfort
in this message, and the mouths of
the false prophets will be stopped. The
captivity is hard, and those whom
Nebuchadnezzar lias carried to Baby-
lon yearn for Jerusalem, but there can
be no return until God opens the way.
God has revealed his purpose and has
fixed the date," and again the
prophet relapsed into silence.
It was before the complete destruc-
tion of Jerusalem and after Nebuchad-
nezzar had visited thp city and had
carried off many of the elders of the
people, the priests and the best of ttie
people. Jeremiah had been suffered
to remain behind in Jerusalem, and
he had striven to bring the people of
the city into the spirit of submission
to the judgments which were falling
upon the nation.
Word had come to him not man)
days before that certain Jews had
passed from Jerusalem to their breth-
ren it! captivity saying that they
brought a message from the laud that
the captive Jews were soon to return
and help strengthen ihe hands of their
brethren in preventing their beloved
city of Jerusalem from falling into
the hands of their enemies. And to
back up their testimony and main-
tain that they were true prophets sent
by God they quoted passages from the
book of the law which declared that
God had promised to restore the cap-
tivity of Judah. This hail created a
spirit of unrest among the captive
Jews, and, utterly helpless as seemed
the chance of successful sedition, the
purpose began to form in the minds
I of the boldest of them to make th"
I attempt.
And w hen word of these things had
reached Jeremiah he had been great
ly troubled, knowing that such false
I teaching could only end disastrously.
! not only for ihe Jews in captivity, but
I for those that still remained in Jent-
i salem.

"But why sit here lu idleness?" he
exclaimed, after he had returned front

rite chair that stood before the rude
table. No time must tie lost."
' Thus saith Ihe Lord of hosts." he
wrote, us he had seen the words slum!
out upon ihe purrhtneni upon which
the finger of God had moved, “unto all
that are carried away captives, whom
I have caused to be carried away from
Jerusalem unto Babylon: Build ye
houses and dwell in them; and plant
gardens and eat the fruit of them;
take ye wives, and beget sons and
daughters, anil take wives for your
sons and give your daughters to hus-
bands. that they may bear sons and
daughters; tiiat ye may increase there
and not diminish. And seek the peace
of ihe city whither l have caused you
to he carried away captives, and pray
unto the Ixird for it; for in the peace
thereof shall ye have peace. Kor thus
saith the Lord of hosts, the God of
Israel: lx*t not your prophets and
your diviners, that be in the midst of
you, deceive you, neither harken to
your dreams which ye cause to he
dreamed. Kor they prophesy falsely
unto you in my name: I have not sent
them, saitli the Lord. Kor thus saith
the Lord. That after 70 years lie
accomplished at Babylon I will visit
you and perform my good word toward
you, in causing you to return to
tills place. For I know the thoughts
that 1 think toward you, saith the
Lord, thoughts of peace and not of
evil to give you an end and expecta-
tion."
Willi ltiis message Jeremiah has-
tened to the king, and. having won
his consent, placed it in the keeping
of two messengers. Klasali and Gemari-
ah. and started them on the journey
to Babylon.
Little more remains to be told. Tlv
words of the lord spoken by Jeremiah
the prophet quickly quieted the cap-
tive Jews and caused them to bow in
humble submission to the punishment
of God. But word of the treachery of
tlie false prophets reached the ears of
King Nebuchadnezzar, ami lie caused
Ahab, the son of Kolaiah, and Zedekian,
the son of Maaseiah. to he apprehend-
ed and to he slain before Ihe eyes of
their brethren.
Origin of Courts-Martial.
The custom of holding courts-mn
tial in our navy after every case
shipwreck lias a curious origin. In
17-tl the Wager, one of Commodore
Anson's vessels, was wrecked off the
coast of Chile, most of the crew being
saved.
The men and some of the junior
officers held that they were no longer
amenable to discipline, because their
pay ceased with the wreck, lint the
captain, whose name was Davy Cheap,
differed, treated them as mutineers,
and shot one of the midshipmen. He
was then deposed and most of the
crew made off in the boats.
Later, when it was proposed to pro-
coQd against the so-called mutineers,
the law officers of the crown decided
that the men had been correct in their
view. This discovery led to the fram-
ing of section hi of the articles of war.
which provides that in case of ship*
wreck, destruction or capture by tlie
enemy a ship has to he deemed to re-

It did not liotior God nor religion The
prophet Haggal ti ll, five ccnturim
later, uliered the Lord's rebuke to Ida
people, Is It time for you, O ye. to
dwell in your celled houses, and tIlia
house He waste?"
The king, with .1 noble longing for
tlie good of ills people and the honor
of fiod. desired to build H temple that
would worthily express the uation'n
feelings toward their God am)
strengthen their religious moral lift*
Accordingly lie consulted with Nathan
the prophet.
V. 2. "Nathan said ... Do all
that is In thine heart: for God is with
thee." David's desire was right.
V. 3. "The same night. . . . tho
word of God came to Nathnu." In a
vision (2 Sam. 7:17.)
The prophet was right in the assur-
ance that the object of David's desire
was pleasing to God, but there was
need of light upon the best way of ac-
complishing it. God had a better an-
swer to David's prayer than David
Imagined.
V. -I. "Thou shall not.” Emphasize
the pronoun—"THOU shall not build
nte a house to dwell in." it. shall he*
built, hut not by David's hands.
There is a deep lesson for us in
God’s treatment of David's plan. We
are tempted to do a right thir.g in a
wrong way, or a second best way.
God approved of Jacob's possessing
the birthright, hut not of his method
of obtaining it. The early Christians
were right in their expectation of the
raet of ihe early coming again of
Christ. )>>x< not necessarily of the exact
method of his coming. God approves
of our desire for the conversion of
men. for the unity of the church, for
the reformation of the land front cer-
tain evils, hut that does not. necessari-
ly carry with ii his approval of every
method and saving of revivalists and
reformers.
instead of David's building a house
for God, God will build a house for
David. “I tell thee . . . the Lord
will build thee an house.” The em-
phasis is on thee. Ms descendants
shall be on the throne for evermore.
V. 14. “I will settle him in mind
house and in my kingdom for ever."
The real kingdom of God consists of
his people, gradually increasing in
numbers, in character, in power for
good, till the kingdom shall Include
the wide, wide world, the spiritual
temple in which God dwells, and is
worshiped by all creation for evermore.
Through the whole history of Judah
there was hut one dynasty, while in
the Northern Kingdom there were
seven different dynasties in their 19
kings.
"After tlie destruction of the temple
and the extinction of David’s dynasty
in Jerusalem, the writer in Chronicles
and the post-exilian Prophets regard
the promise as still in force, and still
in process of fulfillment, to the seed
of David, with no limit to its eternal
operation.” This was the period of
transition from the formal to the spir-
itual, but none the less real, kingdom
and inheritance of David. The com-
plete fulfillment was in Jesus Christ,
"great David's greater Son.” In the
works of Keil. "Tlie posterity of David
could only hist forever by running out
in a person who lives forever; that is,
by culminating in tlie Messiah, wha
lives forever, and of whose kingdom
there is no end.” "The prediction <V
Balaam, of a scepter and star arising
out of Jacob, is now to be unfolded
in the scepter of David's line." The
New Testament repeatedly speaks of
Jesus as tlie son of David, and inher-
itor of the promises (Luke 1:31-33;
20:41-44; Acts 2:29-31; 13:22, 23.)
Soon after Christ's death, authority
and almost existence as a separate na-
tion was taken away from the Jews, at
the destruction of Jerusalem. But be-
fore this time Christ set up his king-
dom. which was David's kingdom, in
another form, for David's kingdom was
in his time the visible kingdom of God
in the world. And thus David's king-
dom. through liis descendant and heir,
still continues, and will abide forever,
bringing all nations and peoples under
its sway, and more than realizing all
tlie visions of glory which filled the
Jewish heart.

Gave It to Them Straight.
At a heavy transfer point on Sixth
nvenue, says a letter to the New York
Times, few seats being vacant on a
Twenty-third street car, a youth dart-
ed under the arm of a stout woman
and plumped himself down in the seat
she was about to occupy. Glaring,
she hurled at him: “If I wasn’t a per-
fect lady I'd swat you one on the
mouth.” Another young man arose,
raised his hat, and begged her to sit
down. When seated she beamed upon
him end said: "Sir, you're a gentle-
man; them others is hogs.”
Was Used to It.
On a very hot Sunday morning
James was required to accompany hia
father to church.
That was contrary to his inclina-
tion.
“Father,” said he, "why need i»oo-
ple go to church when it is so hot?"
"My son,” his father replied, "Satan
is around as much in hot. weather as
at any time.”
"Oh,” said the boy. "but Satan does
not mind hot weather!"

But Tells Facts About Postum.
"We have used Postmn for the past
eight years,” writes a Wis. lady, "and
drink it three times a day. Wo never
tire of it.
"For several years I could scarcely
eat, anything on account of dyspepsia,
bloating after meals, palpitation, sick
headache—in fact was in such misery
and distress I tried living on hot water
and toast for nearly a year.
“I had quit coffee, the cause of my
trouble, and was using hot water, but
this was not nourishing.
"Hearing of Postum I began drink-
ing it and my ailments disappeared,
and now I can eat anything I want
without trouble.
"My parents and husband had about
the same experience. Mother would
often suffer after eating, while yet
drinking coffee. Mv husband was a
great coffee drinker and suffered from
indigestion and headache.
"After lie stopped coffee and began
Postum bofh ailments left him. Ho
wdl not drink anything else now and
we have it three time- a day. I could
w rite more but aut no gusher—only
state plain facts."
