It was not a subterranean prison as that in Jonathan‘s house (chapetr xxxvii. 15), but a pit or cistern, which had been full of water, but was emptied of it during the siege so that only mire remained.

"We cannot do good to others save at a cost to ourselves, and our own afâ€" flictions are the price we pay for our ability to sympathize. He who would be a helper must first be a sufferer. He who would be a savior must somewhere and somehow have been upon a cross: and we cannot have the highest happiâ€" and we cannot have the highest happiâ€" ness of life in succoring others without tasting the cup which Jesus drank and submitting to the baptism wherewith he was baptized." EoTmgg NUTT ie en en omeee F wer was bold and clear (Jer. xxxvii. 17). Never had he been more definite and conâ€" cise. There was no equivocation or qualâ€" ification. He forgot that he was a priâ€" soner speaking to a king and only reâ€" membered that he was a prophet speakâ€" ing for God. Jeremiah was one of those who "out of weakness were made strong" (Heb. xi. 34). His was a gentle, timid, shrinking nature. Suffering was terrible to him. He piteously pleaded for the king‘s help "lest he die." Yet how strong he became under the power of God. He was not "afraid of their faces" and "not dismayed" (1: 8â€"17). He "spake all" that was commanded. Though weak and wavering naturally, you may be strong and steady spiritually. If you ask God and trust him he will do for you what he did for the prophetâ€"make You a "defenced city, aa iron pillar, a brazen wall." (1. 18). Jeremiah put the kingdom of God first and selfâ€"interest afterward. . He delivered God‘s message, then pleaded his own cause. _ He would not soften a word of the truth for any personal advantage. _ Abraham put God first when "he went out not knowing whither he went," and "so journeyed in the land of promise, as in a strange country" (Heb. xi. 8, 9). He put God first when he "bound Isaac his son on the altar upon the wood and stretched forth his hand to slay his son" (Gen. xxii. 9, 10). Abbie C. Morrow. Lt h io csetinas!

United States Roosevelt Lays Down Law of Monâ€" roe Doctrine. President Speaks Before the Chauâ€" Chatauqua, N. Y., Aug. 14.â€"President Roosevelt arrived here this morning and delivered an address before the Chauâ€" tauqua Asembly. When he appeared on the platform he was greeted by ten thouâ€" sand people and was given an ovation, President Roseveelt spoke, in part, as follows: "Toâ€"day I wish to speak to you on one feature of our national foreign polâ€" iey and no one feature of our national domestic policy. "The Monroe doctrine is not a part of international law. But it is the fundamental feature of our enâ€" tire foreign policy so far as the western hemisphere is concerned, and it has more and more been meetieng with recognition abroad. The reason why it is mecting with this recognition is because we have not ollowed it to become fossilized. If is out of the question to claim a right and yet shirk the responsibility for execâ€" cising that right. When we announce a policy such as the Monroe doctrine, we thereby commit ourselves to accepting the consequences of the poli¢cy, and these consequences from time to time alter. Let us look for a moment at what the Monroe Doctrine really is. It forbids the territorial increase of nonâ€"American powers on American soil. Ii‘s purpose is partly to secure this nauuon against seeing great military powers obtain new iootholds in the western hemisphere, and partly to secure to our fellow reâ€" publics, south of us, the chance to deveâ€" lop along their own*lines without being oppressed or conquered by nonâ€"American powers. "I do not want to see any foreign power take possession permanently or temporarily of the customâ€"houses of an American republic in order to enforce its nblications. and the alternutive may at temporarily of the customâ€"houses of an American republic in order to enforce its obligations, and the alternutive may at any time be that we shall be forced to do so ourselves. "In the interest of justice, it is as noâ€"| cessary to exercise the police power as | to show charity and helpful generosity. But something can even now be done toward the ead in view, That something, for instance, this nation has already done as regards Cuba, and is now trying to do as regards Santo Domingo. "Santo Domingo has now made an apâ€" peal to us to help it, and not only every principle of wisdom but every generous instinct within us bids us respond to the appeal. The threatened danger came to them in the shape of foreign intervenâ€" tion. ‘The previous rulers of Santo Doâ€" mingo had recklessly incurred debts, and owing to her internal disorders she had ceased to be able to provide means of paying the debts. The patience of her foreign creditors had been thoroughly exhausted, and at the dleast one foreign nation was on the point of intervention, and was only prevented from intervening by the unofficial assurance of this Govâ€" etnment that it would itself strive to help Santo Domingo in her hour of need. "Accordingly the executive department of our Government negotiated a treaty under which we are to try to help the Domingan people to straigitten out their [inances. # & In regard to effective supervision and regulation of gcreat corporations doing an interâ€"State business, President Rooseâ€" velt said much of substantial nature had been accomplished, but further legislaâ€" tion was advisable. Many corporations show themselves honorably desirous to obey the daw, but, unfortunately, some corporations, and very wealthy ones at that, exhaust every effort which can be suggested by the highest ability, or se eured by the most lagish expenditure 0| money, to defeat the purposes of th« laws on the statute books. Future in vestigation along these lines may h. more drastic, he continued, but it mus l‘no understood that it will be because 0 the acts of great corporations in seekin: to prevent the enforeemei it atands.

The tallyâ€" hos and automobiles which reported at the entrance of the Wentworth Hotel at the usual hour this morning were sent back to their quarters. The heat was sweltering. Baron Koâ€" mura and his colleaguwes remained in their rooms. They have figuratively folded their arms, and await the Russian response. M. Witte was at work early and with his secretaries was busy deâ€" ciphering telegrams from St. Petersburg before 8 o‘clock. Ail the threads are in his hands. He controls and directs everything on the Russian side. His colleague, Baron Rosen, accompanied by M. Pokolitoff, went into Portsmouth in an automobile to do some shopping. Think Peace Will Be the Result of the . Negotiations, A Berlin cable: The Foreign Office without giving judgment on the equitâ€" ableness of the Japanese peace term* as exclusively obtained and summarized by the Associated Press, believes that the negotiations will continue until an agreeâ€" ment is reached. The Foreign Office is convinced that the desire of both powâ€" ers for peace is strong enough to lead to mutual surrenders. ____ Abstracts of the conditions were cirâ€" culated quickly among the diplomatic agencies. They are as the Associated Press learned, at three Embassies, conâ€" sidered extreme. The prevailing view is that Russia cannot be expected to accept them, but that they are not an imposâ€" sible first demand and that negotiations may begin on the basis of these declaraâ€" tions to be ultimately concluded on someâ€" thing quite different.

Every woman who neglects the care of her health at this time inâ€" vites disease and pain.. _ When her system is in a deranged condition, or she is predisposed to apoplexy, or congestion of any organ, the tenâ€" dency is at this period likely to become active â€"and with a host of nerâ€" vous irritations, make life a burden. At this time, also, cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work. Such warning sympâ€" toms as sense of suffoâ€" cation, hot flashes, headâ€" aches backaches, dread of impending evil, timidâ€" ity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipaâ€" tion, variable appetite, weakness and inquieâ€" tude, and lizziness. are (Ml‘ promptly hceeded by inâ€" telligent women who are approaching the period in life when womanr‘s great charge may be expected.
