UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
NOW IN SESSION.
MANY GASES ON THE DOCKET
Eight Hundred of Them for Consider
ation Which Will Require

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

sary to revise the rules governing pro
cedure in the supreme court. It is be
lieved the court will not only revise
them to meet the abolishment of the
circuit courts, but it will modernize
them in many ways.

ond only to the great Standard Oil and

roads and coal owning companies and
against the railroads operating the

a trip to England and Ireland, taking

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

mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap

other kind of disfigurement, and baby
is completely cured by the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. We have no fur

There were, three eras of captivity
for the children of Israel as there
were several eras of return. 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.

WANTED TO BE AN AVIATOR
Missouri Girl Evidently Vary Much in
Earnest in Her Desire to Nav
igate the Air.
Mr. Claude Grabame-Whlte, the fa
mous English aviator, is constantly
besought by young women to teach
them to become aviators. Many make
application by letter.' One of these
letters reached him the other day
from a point in Missouri. Cleared of
its errors in grammar, spelling and
capitalization, it read something like
this:
"Oh.. Mr. Grahame-White, teach me
to be a 'planer.' I saw one of them at
Kansas City, and I think it is Just
heavenly. I would like to run a
Wright monoplane or a Bleriot bi
plane, but if you have a better flyer
I would try that. I think I would look
cute running a baby flyer. Pa says he
wouldn't mind my having a baby one.
Couldn't you bring one out here for a
week or so and show me bow to run
it? I assure you a good time?"
Mr. Grahame-White was compelled
to decline the young woman's kind in
vitation. Some Mosquitoes.
"Yes." said the traveler who had
Just returned from South Africa. "I
.was one day so annoyed by mosquitoes
that I was compelled to take refuge in
an old iron safe which lay discarded
on the veldt.
"My first emotions of Joy at my
happy deliverance were hardly over
when the mosquitoes, scenting me, be
gan to drive their stingers through
the safe. Fortunately, I had a ham
mer in my pocket, and as fast as their
stingers came through the iron I
clinched them, until jit length such
a host of them was fastened down in
this way that, when they started to
fly away, they carried me and that
safe miles.
"Then, one by one. they died with
the exertion, and I was able to come
out with safety. Yes. wonderful
things happen in foreign parts."
Ideas.
Overheard In Venice.
"Isn't it romantic, John, dear." said
she, as they sat in the little Venetian
garden, "to sit here and listen to these
Italian troubadours singing their bal
lads bathed in the moonlight?"
"Yes, dear," replied John, with a
deep-drawn sigh. "But 1 sometimes
wish they'd bathe in something be
sides moonlight, don't you. It might
less romantic, but it would be a
darn sight more hygienic." Harper's
Weekly.

thing rather than sit still and do noth
