“Now ELISHA was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows. And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it; and Elisha put his hands upon the king’s hands. And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the Lord’s deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria; for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them. And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed. And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it; whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice.” 2 Kings 13:14–19. This little story illustrates how the Lord’s people and His cause may be robbed of victories which He designed they should enjoy, because their leaders did not exercise more faith in the Spirit of prophecy. Elisha first showed Joash that the Lord’s porpose was that Israel, under the king’s leadership, should smite the Syrians until they were “consumed.” But the king, as leader of the people, manifested so little faith in the promise that it could not at that time be fulfilled. So it was fulfilled only to the extent that faith was shown in the prophet’s word. “According to your faith be it unto you,” is a principle to be borne in mind. CONTAINED IN THIS NUMBER.

Fact is cold and dead; truth is living. A man may be a complete bundle of facts, and may die as he lived, of little or no use in the world; but he who possesses truth is moulded by the truth into a glorious character. Christ Jesus is not said to be fact; but He is the truth; and is therefore the way and the life. Let It Pass.—If people say evil things against you, never mind. Do not hear them. If you have heard them, let them pass. They may not have uttered, after all, the real sentiments of their heart. They may have said what they did to please someone else; they may have said it in the heat of anger; they may have taken that way to exalt themselves by depreciating you. But never mind their motives, let it pass. It hurts them permanently; it can never hurt you more than temporarily unless you choose to let it. Do not let it stop with you; let it pass. Why Not?—A contributor to a religious contemporary says:—
We never ask whether murder, or lying, or stealing, or adultery, or any other high crime is right. We never ask whether love, mercy, kindness, chastity, honesty, truthfulness or any other attribute that is commanded by both God and man are wrong. Let us content ourselves by doing what the Lord commands, and not be partakers of the sins of others. That is a fine statement, but, to be logical and consistent, the author ought to observe the Sabbath day according to the commandment. "The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work," is just as explicit as the command against murder or any other "high crime" mentioned above. Then why not, with reference to the Creator's memorial, "content ourselves by doing what the Lord commands, and not be partakers of the sins of others?" Roman Catholics and Public Schools
Roman Catholics and Public Schools.—We are frequently told that Roman Catholics are not against our public schools; and it is doubtless true that many lay Catholics are not; but the hierarchy condemns them in toto. Archbishop Elder of Cincinnati is a good representative; let him speak. In a recent letter to the priests of his diocese, which was read in the churches the last Sunday in August, he expressed his regrets that “some fathers and mothers . . . send their children to non-Catholic schools.” He says that it is “the doctrine of the church . . . that to attend a non-Catholic school constitutes usually a grave and permanent danger to the faith, and that, therefore, it is a mortal sin for any parents to send their children to such a school, except where there is no other suitable school, and unless such precautions are taken as to make the danger remote.” He furthermore declares that the parents are not to decide as to the child’s attendance or non-attendance, but the bishop. Yet the Roman Catholics are rapidly putting teachers in the public schools. Divinity in Humanity,

We noted in our news columns not long ago the death of Dr. Niels R. Finsen of Copenhagen, who died at the early age of forty-three. He was chiefly noted for his successful red-light treatment of smallpox, and electric-light treatment of lupus, or skin tuberculosis. There are forty-three sanitoriums founded for carrying forward his well-begun work. He was, those who have met him tell us, of modest temperament, in love with his work, and burdened for suffering humanity. This is what the daily Vort Land, of Copenhagen, had to say of his work:— The universal judgment of him will sound like a universal thanksgiving—thanks from the land whose honored son he was, thanks from the scientific world for which he opened up new avenues of achievement, thanks from the unfortunates from whom he lifted the heavy burden of disease. Himself an invalid since early youth, his first and last thoughts and desires were to aid others. What he has accomplished has been indorsed by all civilized countries, and more than twenty great sanitoriums in as many cities throughout the world stand to-day as lasting monuments to his fame. But he who did so much for others was himself a sufferer from a disease which baffled medical men. A few days before his death he requested his physicians and friends to perform an autopsy on his body in order that, even in death, he might serve his profession. The dissection revealed the fact that he had been suffering from slow ossification of the heart membrane, a rare disease which generally results fatally after a much shorter period than it did in Finsen's case. His remarkable will-power no doubt prolonged his life for several years; he simply could not leave the labor he loved. The Slocum Disaster Investigation
The report of the Federal Government Commission on the Slocum disaster in New York Harbor declares that the condition of that ill-fated vessel was “not abnormal, but typical,” and no more dangerous than hundreds of vessels carrying passengers in different parts of the country. The number of passengers perishing by the Slocum’s burning was 995. Reinspection of 268 vessels revealed the fact that fire pumps, hose, and life preservers were in bad condition, tho pronounced good. We are told that the Nonpareil Cork Works had put upon the market blocks of compressed cork for life preservers, each of which blocks contained a piece of bar iron weighing several ounces. Such business is infernal. There is no law against such practices, because no one imagined that such a deed could be done. Christ’s Kingdom De Jure and De Facto
This earth is the kingdom of Christ de jure (rightfully); but "we see not yet all things put under him." Satan, "the prince of this world," still rules, permissively of God, but by choice of men. But not always; Christ is coming into His own; and then "the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ; and He shall reign forever and ever." Not till then will it be both the kingdom of Christ de jure and de facto. God’s Purpose in the Far Eastern War
Out of the fearful war in the far Orient God will bring glory to His name. History is truly read only as it is read in the light of His purpose. “He removeth kings and setteth up kings.” “The wrath of man shall praise Thee; the remainder of wrath shalt Thou restrain.” A Carpenter’s Open-Shop Union
A new kind of carpenter's union is reported from Louisville, Ky. It is organized for the purpose of promoting the open shop, and to prevent strikes and lockouts. It has no walking delegate Lieutenant Tichbourne, a National Guard officer, has been expelled from the plumber's union of San Diego for refusing to withdraw from the military service.
