MUGHWORKONHAND UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT NOW IN SESSION. MANY GASES ON THE DOCKET Eight Hundred of Them for Consider ation Which Will Require Until May. Washington. The supreme court of the United States will convene Mon day at noon after s four-months' re cess. It will remain in session until the last of next May and will consider as many of 'the 800 cases now on the docket as time will permit. An esti mate has It that the court will dis pose of about 400 cases during the term, but that about 200 additional cases will be docketed before next June. The members of the court have ar rived with the exception of Associate Justice Day. The illness of Mrs. Day has detained him in Canton. O. Chief Justice White was among the first to arrive while Justices Harlan, McKen na. Holmes, Lurton, Hughes, Vande- Yttiter and Lamar returned in ample time for the opening term. Unlike past sessions, members of the court returned from their vaca tions to meet duties other than the routine work of their offices. Chief Justice White and Associate Justices Lurton and Vandevanter are to complete their work, if possible, at an early date, of revising the equity rules of the federal courts. At their suggestion the circuit judges appoint ed, committees to recommend amend ments to the rules, which generally are regarded as having outlived their usefulness. Some of these committees are ready to submit their reports. Others are expected to send in their recommendations soon. These recommendations will be con sidered by the committee of the court and a final draft of new rules prepared for promulgation by the tribunal. Dur ing the summer Justice Lurton spent some time in England learning directly impressions of the English jurists, who recently prepared new equity rules for the courts of their country. Because of the abolishment, on Jan uary 1, 1913, of all circuit courts of the United States. leaving only the dis trict courts, the court of appeals and the supreme court, it will be neces sary to revise the rules governing pro cedure in the supreme court.

A long list of important cases, sec ond only to the great Standard Oil and tobacco cases, will demand the court's attention during the first mouth of its session. Three cases involve ajleged violations of the Sherman anti-trust law. These are the suits against the principal anthracite coal carrying rail roads and coal owning companies and against the railroads operating the bridges over the Mississippi at St. Louis.

RASH ALL OVER BABY'S BODY Itched So He Could Not Sleep "On July 27, 1909, we left Boston for a trip to England and Ireland, taking baby with us. After being in Ireland a few days a nasty rash came out all over his body. We took him to a. doc tor who gave us medicine for him. The trouble started in the form of a rash and was all over baby's body. head and face, at different times. It irritated, and he would scratch it with all his might. The consequence was it developed into sores, and we were afraid it would leave nasty scars on bis face. "When we reached England we took baby to another doctor, who said his condition was due to change of food and climate, and gave more medicine. The rash got no better, and it used to Itch and burn at night so bad that the child could not sleep. He was com pletely covered with it at different .times. It was at this time that my mother advised us to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for about nine months the places disap peared. There are not any scars, or other kind of disfigurement, and baby is completely cured by the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. We have no fur ther trouble with baby's skin. Xoth tag stopped the itching, and allowed baby to sleep but Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment." (Signed) Mrs. Margaret Gunrt. 29 Burrell St., Rox bury, Mass., March 12, 1911.

The first captivity was by Nebuchadnezzar, when Daniel and his friends were car ried captive. Seventy years from this brings us to B. C. 536, the time of the completion of the return described in this lesson. Nebuchadnezzar again captured the city, sent a great amount of treasures from the palace and the temple to Babylon, with 10,000 of the more im portant of the people. Among these were the prophet Ezekicl and the great-grandfather of Mordecai, Queen Esther's cousin. The third captivity was also by Nebuchadnezzar, who, after a siege of a year and a half, in July, 686, completely destroyed the city and the temple. Seventy years from this time brings us to the com pletion of the temple. B. C. 515. The discipline of the exile has ac complished its purpose so far that It is wise and safe to permit a large number to return and renew the an cient nation. It would be useless to bring back to Judea people who would commit the same sins which made the exile necesary and who had not learned to some. extent the lessons which their hard discipline was sent to teach. The power of idolatry was forever broken. They never again yielded to Its fascinations. They were taught to set a new value on the filling of all the forms of worship with the spirit of religion. God bad allowed even the city which was the type of heaven, and the most glorious temple dedicated to his worship to be destroyed when these became a substitute for true re ligion instead of an aid to it. They were also taught by their absence the value and necessity of religious insti tutions, of the means of worship, of tho Sabbath day. It led to renewed study of the sa cred Scriptures. The exile was the period in which the guardianship. transcription and study of the written Scriptures became the special care of a distinct class, afterwards famous as the great order of the scribes. It led. also, to the establishment of the synagogue for social worship and read ing of the Scriptures, with its accom panying schools. To this period and that of the return belong the author ship of some of the noblest and high est religious literature. The captivity served as a mission ary scheme to spread the knowledge of God over the world. It was an aid In preparing the world for the com ing of the Lord Jesus Christ and for the spread of the gospel by the apos tles. Thus there was the promised land; the homeland the center of re ligious life, and the dispersion as an agency in every country of the known world. The Journey home and the whole movement may be made most real to all, and especially to children, by tracing the journey on the map. Note the great rivers to be crossed without bridges, the desert lands, the savage tribes, the countries of their old ene mies, the rugged mountains to be traversed, hunger, thirst and pain, the long weary months of travel on foot, and the desolate city and devastated homes at the end of their journey. If we may trust later traditions, the setting out of the "captivity" for Pal estine was joyous in the extreme. An escort of 1,000 cavalry accompanied them, for protection against the des ert Arabs, then as now given to plun der, and they started to the music of tabrets and flutes. Forth from the gates of Babylon they rode, to the sound of joyous music a band of horsemen playing on flutes and tab rets, accompanied by their own 200 minstrel slaves and 128 singers of the temple, responding to the prophet's voice, as they quitted the shade of the gigantic walls and found themselves In the open desert beyond. "Go ye out of Babylon. Flee from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye. tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye. The Eternal hath redeemed his servant Jacob." It was like the procession of the vestal vir gins, with the sacred fire in their hands, in their retreat from Rome; like Aeneas with his household gods from Troy. For all who have gone into the cap tivity of sin there is a call to repent and return to the Father's house. A book has lately been published giving the stories of Twice-born men. The trials and sorrows and pains In the service of sin are meant to make us weary of that service and lead us to repent and return to God. Some one ? writes: "If it were not for the slough of despond and other hindrances by the way, the kingdom of heaven might be full of persons unqualified for citi zenship therein." The sins that led to the exile were not a fall upward. The fall into sin is never a fall upward. The man who throws away the "gold, silver and pre cious stones of life" for the "wood, hay and stubble." may be saved, but "so as by fire." a fire that burns, up the little gains of sin. There is great joy in returning from captivity of sin, not only the Joy of the returning wan derer, but the Joy of the angels who know how great beyond conception ia the blessing of the return.
