THE WINDS AND WAVES OBEY HIM lets of Jesus as Well Words Parabolic. as PASTOR RUSSELL ON THE SEA The Storm on Galilee Furnishst Ttxt : For a Discourse The Tsmpttt as Typo and tho Master and Hit Dit clplst at Types Few of Jesus' Para , blst Explained to Hit Apostle A Blessing In Disguise Calm After 8torm A New Morning Dawns. Aboard "The Empress of Ire land," - on - the At lantic, July 27. "There arose a great tempest In the aea, but tlo was asleep. And Ills disciples awoke Him, say ing, Lord, save us: we perish. Then He arose and rebuked tho winds and the sea; and there was a great calm." Matthew 8:21-20. Tho Bible informs us that all of Je sus' teachings wero parabolic. The Master explained the significance of some of Ills actions and words to Ills disciples, saying, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but to all outsiders these tilings are spoken In parables and dark sayings, that hearing they might hear and not understand." Jesus did not explain u!l of His dark sayings even to nis Apostles. t Indeed, very few of Ills parables were explained. On tho con trary, He said, "When tho Spirit of Truth is coino the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and after, He shall guide you into all Truth, and Lrlng all things to your remembrance whatsoever I have spoken unto you." On another occasion of similar Import, He said, "What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter." Thus we seo that it has been possi ble for all the followers of Jesus since Pentecost to understand tho Master's teachings in a way that His earliest followers could not understand them. The reason for this Is plain. It was not expedient that tho natural Jewt or other natural men should under stand clearly the Divine Flun. For them to understand would have meant that in many instances God's plans might have miscarried. As, for in stance. St. Tetcr informs us that If the rulers of tho Jews bad known, they would not have crucified the Trlnce of Life. But only by tho crucifixion of Jesus could the Dlvluo Tlan be carried out, and thereforo It was hidden from those for whom it was not intended. Nor was there any Injustice in this; rather it was a blessing in disguise for them. If they had done the same things under full light and knowledge, their guilt would have been many fold greater. They are not therefore, to be punished according to their deeds entirely, but according to the measure of light and knowledge which they possessed, which was very limited. And tho saruo principle obtains lu re spect to the whole world from then until now little light, little responsi bility; more light, more responsibility. Ho that knew the Master's will and did it not. will have many stripes; he that knew not the Master's will and did things worthy of stripes, shall be punished with few stripes. On the contrary, those who are begotten of the Holy Spirit, and thus accepted as God's people. Into God's family, have the highest responsibility, because they have the greatest knowledge. They, and they alone, could possibly commit tho sin unto deal It. us St. Paul ex plains In Hebrews (i;l-0. and 10:20, 27. When the Scriptures declare, ."The wise shall understand," the reference Is to those who uro especially enlight ened by tho Lord through tho Holy Spirit and through tho deeper under standing which they gain respecting tho truo meaning of God's Word. On tho contrary, wo have the assurance also that "none of tho wicked shall un derstand." St. Paul explains tho situa tion to us, snyiug, "Tho natural man recelveth not tho things of the Spirit of God, neither can ho know them, be cause they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual Judgcth all things, yea, tho deep things of God." Here, then, is tho secret of deruarca Hon between tho Church and the world. The former have tho begetting of tho Holy Spirit to a now nature, and with that begetting go privileges and opportunities of knowledge of God and of Ills plans, purposely secreted from all others not spirit-begotten. Hence, in all our attempts to spread tho knowlodgo of God, we should re member to impress tho thought that only the outlines of tho Divine charac ter and plan may be clearly discerned and appreciated by those not splrlt-bo-gotten. All who desire to go on unto perfection, and to grow la grace and knowledge and character, should be Informed that the Bccond step after the primary study Is consecration. Those who will not consecrate will not have tho privi lege of looking deeply Into and discern ing clearly tho lengths and breadths and heights and depths of the Divine character and plan. This also is for their good a wlso provision of God's love. For any baring come unto the begetting of tho Holy Spirit can bare so further elalui with the world unon N ' A t I f J Sod's general provision for human Restitution. Their hope must be on the spirit plane. Begotten of the Spir it, they miiNt develop and be born of the Spirit in the resurrection, in order to have life eternal at all. Spiritual Lessons For the 'Spiritual Household. There is a precious lesson in this miracle for alt of the Lord's followers. We also have need of faith and of tests of that faith. Our daily expe riences since we became the Lord's followers have been guided and guard ed apparently by the Power unseen, to the Intent that as pupils in the School of Christ, we may all be taught of Him and develop more and more the graces of the Spirit, particularly more faith. now important this item of faith Is we probably cannot fully appreciate now. It seems to be the one thing which the Lord especially seeks in those now called to be nia followers. "Without faith it Is impossible to please Him." With faith "all things are possible." "According to thy faith be it unto thee." Proper faith, of course, is meant, not credulity, not re liance upon the words of men, but im plicit faith In the Lord for all that He has promised to then who lore nim supremely. Hebrews 11:0; Mark 053. So important a grace must of ne cessity require many lessons for its proper derelopment, and therefore we find that in our Individual experiences as Christians we hare those corre sponding to the experiences of the Apostles, as recorded in this lesson. How suddenly the Adrersory may at times bring against us a whirlwind of temptation or of opposition or of per secution! How overcast, how dark, our sky seems at such times! How tho waves of adversity or of affliction have almost overwhelmed us! And how tho Lord has seemed asleep, heedless of our distress! Such experiences are tests of faith. If our faith be strong, we would keep on with our proper endeavors to ad- Just matters, corresponding to tho ef forts of the Apostles to keep the ship afloat, but with implicit faith in the Lord's promise that "all things work together for good to them that lovo God, to them who are tho called ac cording to Ills purpose" So accord ing to our faith shnll we be able to rejoice even in tribulation. Not that we enjoy the sufferings; but we enjoy the thought which faith attaches to them that theso are only light afflic tions, intended to "work out for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory."-Roraans 8:28; 2 Corinthians 4:17. The Boat and the Storm In Antitype. We may regard the incidents of or lesson from a typical viewpoint Thus the boat would seem to bo tho Gospel Dispensation, or God's provision for carrying Messiah and Ills followers to the other side. The Master asleep would seem to prefigure tho apparent Indifference of the Lord, the Head of the Church, to the storms of persecu tion and suffering assailing Ills Church. The disciples awakening Him would seem to imply the prayers of the Church throughout tho Ago, crying unto the Lord, "Carest Thou not that we perish?" What a tempestuous storm broke up on tho Lord's peoplo after Jesus had gone from them! Persecutions from tho Jews, then from the Gentiles, fol lowed one another until the entire his tory of the true Church has been mark ed by severe trials, disciplines, test ings of putlenco and of faith. Many a tlmo have the Lord's people won dered at the amount of affliction and opposition from the world, the flesh and the Devil that their glorified Head permits to come upon them. Verily, it denied as though He were asleep, as though He cared not for their welfare! The storm on the Sea of Galilee may have arisen lu somo ordinary. way, for aught we know to the contrary. It must have been a very severe storm; for the disciples were expert experi enced fishermen. Wo might reason that surely God would not specially raise up such a storm; and that If Ho had Jesus would have submitted to It and would not have worked contrary to tho Blvlno arrangement On the other hand, v,o might reason that, since Satan is Scrlpturally term ed the "Prince of tho power of the air," It would be qulto In lino with his disposition to seek to destroy Jesus and tho Church, represented by the Apostles. He might have thought thus to nip In the bud tho Divine arrange ment which Jesus had outlined; name ly, Ills crucifixion in fulfilment of the Scriptures. At all events, Jesus when I wakened did not hesitato to use the fowor Ho possessed from the Father to quell the storm to turn asldo the mischievous designs of Satan. "And There Was a Great Calm." We reod that when awakened, Jesus first reproved His disciples for insuf ficiency of fulth, as mnnlfested In their doubting that with Him present with them they would bo entirely safe from all powers of wind and water and the Adversary. Thon He rebuked tho storm, and It quickly subsided; and there was a great calm. What could these things mean antl typically? What lesson could we gain from them along spiritual lines? The lesson is that the storms of life which havo beset God's people throughout this Gospel Age have undoubtedly been chiefly under the administration of the Evil One. He was unsuccessful as re spects the Lord, whose faith triumph ed, loyal unto death. Satan has since tried, however, to wage a bitter war fare against the followers of Jesus, through persecution, slander, misrepre sentation and falsehood. But la all of these be has only fulfilled tho Lord's prediction, saying, "Marvel not if the world hate you; ye know that it hated Mo before It hated you. If ye were of tho world, the world would lore Its own. But now ye are not of the world, because I hare chosen yon out of the world; therefore the world hatethyou." Throughout the Gospel Age It has been sought to keep the Church pure by keeping the world out of it. even though wave after wave sought to fill the boat with the undesirable qualities and to swamp it Throughout the Age it was the proper course for too Church to reallre that the Lord was with her In all her afflictions, even as He bad promised, "Lo, I am with you olway, even unto the end of the Age." Ke- nemberlng this, the Lord's brethren should have bad full confidence, noth ing doubting. The extremity of the disciples in calling upon the Lord for aid seems to Imply that at the close of this Age there will be a special stress upon all the followers of Jesus, causing them to cry out for deliverance from the overwhelming powers of the Adver sary. Then the Master will seem to awaken, as though He had not previ ously noted the condition of affairs. Then He will arise, and bid the storm to cease; and there will be a great calm. Storm of Trouble It Near. Bible students are more and more convinced that the great storm of trou ble upon the Church is rery near. Of just what character It will be we need not try to prophesy. We are to re member, however, that the majority of the storms upon the Church hare come from professed people of God, rather than from the world. It was the Scribes and Pharisees and Doctors of the Law that really crucified Jesus. It was they who excited the mob to cry out "Crucify nim! Release unto us Barabbas!" They, and not Tilate, were responsible for Jesus' death; they, and not tho Roman soldiers, real ly crucified Him; as St. Peter declares, "Ye denied the Holy One and the Just and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; and killed the Prince of Life."-Acts 3:14, 15. Our expectation would be that sim ilarly tho Body of Christ, the Church, In the end of this Ago will have its most trying experiences, not from the world, but from professed brethren. Do we not indeed see a preparation along these very lines at the present time? The formation of Church Fed eration has indeed a sincere and inno cent look, but is not this really a dis guise? Is not the purpose and object of the Federation rather to fortify and de fend sectarianism and to hinder any one outside their own pale of influence from letting shine any light of Truth upon God's Word? Should we not ex pect really that when tho Federation shall gain the measure of political in fluence and power that the symbolic ! book of Revelation Indicates will be the case, then those holding a simple faith in God and in His Word, and striving to walk in tho narrow way and to uphold the banner of God's Love, will be evilly spoken of, misrep resented, traduced, slandered, , "roast ed," and eventunlly hindered from any part in the Master's service? Our consolation is in tho thought that when this shall have been accom plished, the chiseling and polishing and glorification of the Church, the Body of Christ, nis betrothed Bride, will have been completed. "Blessed and holy are ail those who have part in the First Resurrection. On such the 8econd Death hath no power, but they shall be priests unto God and Messiah, and shall reign with Him a thousand years." Rerelatlon 20:0, Next, the World's Tribulation. The Lord seems to Indicate that His special Royal Priesthood will be per fected on the Heavenly plane before the world's tribulation shall break upon it in fullest fury. We read, "Watch ye therefore, and pray always. that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all those things coming on tho world, and to stand before the Son of Man." True, tho escaping of the world's trouble may be in the sense of being enabled to live above It on a higher plane, ns not affected by it, but we think not Wo believe that tho Church will have passed Into glory be- foro tho culmination of the world's Day of Wrath, Just as at the First Advent all the Jews who were Israel ites indeed, we believe, were called out Into tho new Dispensation before tho wrath of God came upon their nouse from tho sixlnl aud political quarter. But no matter! Tho Lord's will be done, whether His people will bo with the world in the midst of tho world's trouble, and yet be protected from that trouble by virtue of their easo of mind, or whether they shall be first deliv ered, before the troublo comes. Other Scriptures seem to indicate that the Church will have something to do with tho authorizing of the trou ble of tho Day of Wrath, saying, "This honor havo all Ills saints, to execute tho Judgments written, to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of Iron." In any event, the Lord's people will bo quite con tent knowing that all things are work ing together for their good, and ulti mately for tho glory of our Heavenly Father and of Him who redeemed us through Ills own precious blood. Soon the time will come for tho Lord to arise and say to the raging ele ments, "Peace; bo still!" Thou will follow a great calm, tho great rest from the Evil One for a thousand years, during which he shall be bound, that he may "deceive the nations no moro until the thousand years ore ful filled." Then will come tho eternal rest of heart to all who are now In the ship with the Lord, and who will then have the blessed opportunity to be co laborers with Hlni In the great and glorious work of blessing tho world.

"On to Downing Street" Cry Sweeps Woman Off Her Feet Police Check Onrush' and Succeed In Placing Leader Under Arrest. London, July 28. Sylvia Pankhurst, the militant suffragette, who was out on license under the "cat and mouse" law, was the leader of a suffragette demonstration which surpassed all previous affairs of the sort. In the rioting which followed Miss Pankhurst was rearrested and taKen to Holloway jail. The meeting, held in Trafalgai square by the Men's Federation for Women Suffrage, had been announced in advance and this fact, also a rumor that a charge upon Premier Asquith's residence, with resolutions, was planned, brought enormous crowds in to the square. "On to Downing street" proved to be the watchword, and but for vigor ous work by the mobilized police, who arrested Miss Pankhust and twenty men and women supporters, there would have been window smashing and perhaps worse damage at the pre mler's house. The procession of men and women marched from White Chapel to Trafalgar square, followed by constantly growing crowds. Mis? Pankhurst made a dramatic appear ance from among the crowd and was dragged to the Nelson column amid great cheering. "The time for speaking Is over," shf said. "Deeds, not words, are wanted Let us go to Downing street." She concluded by saying she would defy the authorities and carry resolu tions to the premier's residence her self. In an instant Miss Pankhurst with a bundle of papers In her hand was swept off her feet by the mob and the square was a mass of excited and struggling peopl?. Anti-Militants End Hike.

PEACE MEETING WEDNESDAY Balkan Situation to Be Considered it Bucharest This Week. London, July 28. The Balkan peaci conference la expected to open a Bucharest next Wednesday. Meantime serious lighting continues. The Greeks refused Bulgaria's re quest for a three days' truce, and af te; heavy fighting have scaled Kresui pass, Inflicting a defeat on the Bulga rlans at Slmekle, capturing three siegi guns and driving the Bulgarians bad on Djuma. The Greeks claim they an nihllated the whole left of the Bui garlan army aud that they have forcec the Bulgarians back along the Strunu valley. Unless peace la speedily nego tlated another great battle may occui at Struma. No news was received of fighting ot the Servian frontier, but the larg number of wounded men arriving li Belgrade Indicate that severe action; are taking place. The proposal made by the Russiar government that a joint naval demon Btratlon be made off Constantinople to coincide with the mobilization ol Russian troops In the southwestern provinces has been abandoned.

FIGHT FLOUR RATE RAISE Nebraska and Kantat Object to Pro. posed Increase to California Points. Lincoln, July ,28. Membert of the Kansas and Nebraska railway commis sions have taken fixed ground in ob jecting to freight rate raises on flour between points in the two states and California points. The matter is now before the interstate commerce com mission and at a hearing just conclud ed at Kansas City, Expert Powell and Commissioner' Hall of the Nebraska commission took a hand in the fight brought there to prevent the consum mation 'of the step. California believe that they should be allowed a sufficiently low rate on wheat to enable them to ship the raw product into the ' state and there manufacture flour which could enter into competition with flour shipped in from Nebraska and Kansas, wheat producing states. The present rate on Minnesota and Dakota flour is 75 cents per hundred and 65 cents ner hundred weight on flour from the Jaw hawker and Cornhusker states. The application provides for a raise of in cents per hundred on shipments from the two latter states, thus putting them on a parity with the northern states. At the same time the westerners de sire the wheat rate left where it Is at 58 cents per hundred weight be tween Kansas and Nebraska points and points In their own state.

Lincoln, July 28. Labor Commis sioner Pool is receiving communica tions from some sections of the state protesting against the universal use of the public library, claiming that as a disease spreader it rivals the public drinking cup, which has recently been put to the bad In this state. Some of these communications state that the common library book goes In to all kinds of homes, some of them of the most unsanitary nature and many where contagious diseases are prevalent. The hooks are returned to the library filled with all sorts of dis ease germs and are taken Into other homes. Jnst what action can be taken In this matter Mr. Pool is unable to say, but he is of the opinion that as a dis ease spreader the public library book Is in a class far ahead of the public drinking cup. PHONE INSURGENTS ACTIVE Lancaster Men Seek to Invoke Fuller County Ownership Law. Lincoln, July 28. The Insurgent band of anti-telephone agitators is pre paring to carry the war against the Lincoln Telephone company to the ex treme of calling for a vote on a propo sition to vote a 2-mill tax for the pur pose of buying the present plant and to build one In competition. They have already secured the required number of signatures to a petition and after getting a few more to make good measure will file the same. They will call Into the game the Fuller county telephone law passed by the last legislature, which provides for a 2-mill levy to start with and an Issuance of bonds not to exceed 2Vi per cent of the valuation of the county.

For at that time a dairy train is to be sent out over the milk and cream producing sections through which the Northwestern and Burlington lines operate. The schedule in detail has not been determined, but will be announced later; present plans contemplate from Norfolk north and west over the Northwestern, Sept. 15 to 20; from Crawford south and east over the Bur lington, Sept 22 to 27. The train will consist of a large furniture car fitted to carry representa tive milch cows of the Holsteln, Jer sey, Ayershlre, Guernsey and milking Shorthorn breeds in charge of two herdsmen; these cows will be from the dairy herd of the university farm. The end of the furniture car will open out to a flatcar with a railing around it and on thi3 flatcar these milch cows will be exhibited and used for demon stration purposes. A baggage car will be used for an exhibit of dairy appllffees and things useful and helpful In the dairy Indus try; this exhibit will be made by the dairy department of the state univer sity and will consist of appliances for feeding and handling milch cows and for the care of milk and cream; Illus trations of desirable and undesirable dairy conditions; of cow barns and alios.

Between now and Aug. 12 thirty high schools of the state are to be des ignated by the state superintendent's office as agricultural training schools and each of the institutions is to re ceive $500 from the state for further ance of branches taught in connection with this study. Conditions under which application for this aid must be made are just being sent out by Su perintendent Delsell. According to the rules promulgated each school must have at least seven pupils in each of the agricultural, home eco nomics and manual training classes and must have adequate rooms and equipment worth at least $400. Like wise not less than five acres of ground must be owned or leased for a long time by each applying school. The courses of study must be for four years each In the three general sub jects covered. Convicts Want to Know. Members of the board of control will soon be called upon to make re ply to questions asked by convicts with respect to the operation of the new Dodge law, providing for payment of a percentage of money earned in work outside the penitentiary. The law is thought to be plain In making this provision only for those convicts who are sent to other Institutions, but a number of the prison Inmates have written to the board asking If It per tains likewise to tho money earned within the prison walls. Tho contracts with the Lee Broom company are still In force and adjustment of the Dodge law will not be taken up until thoso expire, in all likelihood. Securities Ready.
