Advocates Silence. Silence Is the element In which great things fashion together, that at length they may emerge full formed and majestic, into the daylight of Life, which they are henceforth to rule. All the considerable, men I have known fore-bore to babble of what they were creating and projecting. Nay, in thy own perplexities, do thou thyself but hold thy tongue for one day; on the morrow how much clearer are thy purposes and duties; what wreck and rubbish have these mute workmen within, thee swept away when Intrusive noises were shut out Maurice Maeterlinck. JEREMIAH CAST INTO PRISON Soby Seles! Ltsm far Aif.

20, 1911 Specially Arrmngtd for This Papsr LESSON J7. MEMORY VERSE. 15. GOLDEN are ys, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil aralnst you falsely, for my eake-Matt. 8:11.

TIME of this lesson waa B. C. 688-634. It years after our last lesson during the laat aleg-e of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnex car, from the 9th to the Uth year of Zede-klah's reign. PLACE.

Jerusalem, surrounded by the besieging- armies of the Chaldeans, and suffering- from famine and pestilence (Jer. Jeremiah had prophesied nearly 40 years (since 626) and waa a prematurely old Ban. Zedeklah waa the laat king of Judah, reigning 11 years. Nebuchadneisar. 13th and Uth year of hi reign.

Jeholaklzn reigned six years after thadburnd-the roirot Jeremiah's prophecies, which, like the fabled phoenix rose anew and fresh from the ashes. He was slain In 597. The first blow of the' threatened doom of Judah had fallen during the fourth year of hit reign, the first tolling of the bell of judgment hould hare summoned the very dead In sin to awake. But they gave no Jehoiachln, his son, ascended the throne, a bad, weak boy, utterly unfit to cope with the situation. His reign lasted only three months.

Upon Jehoiachln descended the full force of the divine vengeance Incurred by previous generations. He was scarcely on the throne when the Chaldean forces, which had been ravaging Ju dea, were joined by Nebuchadnezzar himself, and closed around Jerusalem, and Jehoiachln surrendered at discretion. The arm of Babylon raised to strike his father fell on him, and fulfilled the prophecy against Jehola-kirn. "He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David. Jehoiachln waa kept a prisoner In Babylon for 87 years and waa then released.

Ezekiel waa carried away with him, and the great-grandfather of Mordecai, Queen Esther's cousin. This was the second blow of divine-Judgment, the beginning of the second captivity, when 10,000 people were carried captive to Babylon. Among them were the king wives and officers, and 7,000 that were strong and apt for war, and 1,000 craftsmen; and a large part of the 5,400 vessels of gold and silver from the Temple and palaces. The policy of Nebuchadnezzar was to remove out of the way all those who might be able to organize a revolt when he and his anny had departed. Such men It would have been dangerous to leave behind.

It would leem as If all this would have been sufficient to prevail on the people to repent and be saved. Zedeklah, the brother of Jehoiakin, was placed upon the throne by Nebuchadnezzar, "a shadow kins over a desperate band of men. During the first nine years of his reign the nation, instead of embracing the opportunity of repentance, plunged more deeply Into folly. The dregs of the people, left behind In Jerusalem, laid this flattering unction to their souls: "We have been spared by Jehovah, therefore we are righteous 1 hie sight." During a brief respite while Nebuchadnezzar left Jerusalem free while he fought the Egyptians Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin. His1 home was at Anathoth In Benjamin, three or four miles north of the city.

It was apparently to secure his share of the tithes and produce of the Levltlcal glebe of the village, due to him as one of its priests. Knowing that the Chaldeans would return, it was imperative that he should obtain the means of subsistence to take back into the city, soon to be beleagured afresh. Oth-era think it was to secure himself in the possession of an inheritance. There was a natural rush to get out of the city after so long a confine ment Jeremiah went with the' others. When Jeremiah was In the gate of Benjamin, the north gate of the city, that by which any one would go to the country of Benjamin which adjoined Jerusalem, a guard said: "Thou tallest away to the Chaldeans; you are trying to desert to the enemy." Hla well known prophecies of the destruction of the city, and advice that the people should yield the city to the Chaldeans, gave color to this accusation.

Then said Jeremiah: "False! A lie! I fall not a way to the Chaldeans." He. was arrested by the guard, and brought to the princes, the officials of the government, who were wroth with Jeremiah. He had compared them to rotten figs. He was the strongest and most resolute opponent of their war policy. But for him they would have had It all their own way.

Jeremiah was placed In a dungeon under the prison building. Jerusalem was honey-combed with subterranean cisterns, vaulted or arched overhead, and cabins, vaults, the subterranean, arched spaces of a cistern, containing water. At last Zedeklah, the king, secretly took him out to inquire: "Is there any word from the Lord?" Jeremiah replied: "There Is." The word was: "Thou shalt be delivered Into the hand of the king of Babylon." At Jeremiah's request, and to escape from the guilt of being the murderer of the prophet, Zedeklah bad him cared for In the Court of the guard, and supplied him with dally bread. We are not all called to be martyrs, but all are called to have the martyr spirit, to be ready to suffer for the Lord and the coming of his kingdom. There are many martyrs not known to history, but whose names are recorded )n heaven.

Persecution Is the very opposite of Christianity. Christianity bears burdens, persecution loads them on. Christianity loves, and persecution hates. Yet persecutors are often well-meaning man. Jeremiah's enemies thought they were patriots and he was a traitor.

It Is easy even for a Christian to persuade himself that he Is right and his opponents are so terribly wrong that they must be suppressed by force Instead of argument, by worldly weapons Instead of truth- THE COURIER. FEDERATION OF VIRGINIA COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS' WORTHY ORGANIZATION FORMULATED PLANS THAT WILL RE- SULT IN MUCH GOOO TO THE RACE IN VIRGINIA. Roanoke, Va. The Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of Virginia held its annual meeting at Roanoke, and formulated many plans that will result in much good to the race in Virginia. These ladies are determined to have a state industrial home school for colored girls of tender years, who are so unfortunate as to fall Into the hands of law, and by this: means keep them from the jails and! the state penitentiary.

The members are firm believers in, doing all in their power to lift up the fallen before appealing to the general public. They have been signally sue-: cessful In their efforts, and deserve, io oe complimented for their activity along this line. The Roanoke Times has the following to say about the meeting: "Colored women from various cities of Virginia, including Richmond Lynchburg, Norfolk, Petersburg, and' Portsmouth, are meeting in the High Street Baptist church in Roanoke this week to discuss and form plans for the advancement of the negro race.) Many subjects of interest are being-discussed and yesterday six hundred! dollars was subscribed to a fund lor, the establishment of an Institution: for rescue work. It has been said1 that God helps him who helps himself.1 The Individual, the community or the' race, satisfied with conditions and content to depend upon others for pro-! gress, usually will either stand still or deteriorate. Self help is necessary; to growth, mental, physical and spiritual, and the fact that colored people of Virginia and the south are recog-j nizlng this principle, may be regarded as a most encouraging When members of the race work fori themselves and are anxious to keepi pace with the march of results can be expected.

Coming into close touch with each other and being In position to teach and to advise their people as to what will best contribute to their welfare, philanthropy ind educational organizations among them should find a fruitful field of. labor and be able to accomplish much food. In these efforts will have the sympathy and earnest cooperation of all citizens who are interested (n their country and anxious to see It attain to the highest development." PRIZE FOR LAWLESSNESS EASILY TAKEN BY HAITI New York. "I have been in many corners of the world, but Haiti Is the most lawless country I ever saw." This Is the summing up of the situation in Port au Prince given by Captain Wllley Arena, the German officer who brought the mysterious Haitlen cruiser. Consul Grostuck, across the ocean on her recent trip from Italy.

On his arrival In New, York Captain Arena said positively, that General Cipriano Castro had not been either one of the crew or a passenger on the Consul Grostuck on the voyage from Italy. 'The voyage of the Consul Grostuck, with her leaky boilers, is one I shall not soon forget," he said. "The hip was in awful shape. Her funnels were rusted away at their base and her guns were well-nigh useless. "When, at last, the steamship was delivered to President Simon four salutes were fired and since then the guns have not been used.

As the ammunition lies exposed to the heat of a tropical sun, it would not be surprising If a premature explosion blew the ship out of the water. The funnels are uncovered and everything is rusting. The city of Port au Prince is full of knaves and thieves. I was attacked, robbed and nearly killed In the public square and afterwards never left the hotel." ROBERT NAMED PRESIDENT Jackson, Miss. In keeping with Its policy of turning Its large negro schools over to the management of negroes as soon as practicable, the American Baptist Home society has recently named Prof.

Z. T. Hubert, of Atlanta, president of Jackson college, located at this place. This fact, together with the installation of Prof. John Hope as president of Atlanta Baptist college, and the turning over of the new Roger Williams university to negroes gives the society a warmer place in the hearts of the colored people of the south.

Prof. Hubert, who is one of the most advanced representatives of the young educated negro, succeeds Dr. Luther G. Barrett, who was president for seventeen years. By his coming, an all-negro faculty will be in charge of the work of Jackson college.

The new president was born and reared in Georgia, and understands thoroughly the economic and educational needs of his people. He is an alumnus of Atlanta Baptist college, the Massachusetts Agricultural college and Boston university. HIS IDEA OF ECONOMY. His Wife "But don't you think joining the golf club is rather an extravagance?" "Not if we economize in other ways. I thought we might give up our pew in church." Life.
