HERE are two classes of people
whose failures in character ana

One class Is made up of those who fall
notwithstanding unusually favorable
advantages and privileges. Of this
group Esau la the familiar scriptural
representative. The other class of
failures to which I refer is composed
of those who go down In spite of
many admirable traits and even
splendid gifts of genius and ability.
And in this latter group the classic
example is the case of Saul, Israel's
first king.
Handsome of stature, valiant In
battle, animated with xeal for the
greatness of his country, Saul stopped
suddenly short in his promising ca
reer, as though paralyzed by a mys
terious power. Upon the horlson of
public life appeared the figure of a

the maidens of the nation to greet
- him with paeans of victory. "Saul."
they sang, "hath slain his thousands,
and David his tens of thousands." It
r was a bit of popular sentiment that
the self-centered ruler could not en

David from that day forward."

the wretched monarch. His disposi

Story Repeated far Ages.
The story has been repeated all
down the ages. If one were asked to
name the most common and demoral
izing passion in persons and in whole
populations, it would not be hate,
for there are evils that should be
hated; it 'would not be scorn, for
there are men and things who de
serve scorn. It would be that malig
nant disease of the soul which "blends
the ignominious and basest elements
of human nature into one penetrating
flame called Jealousy." No one seems
to be entirely exempt from its rav
ages. No page of history is free
from Its records of deception, cruelty
and crime. It affects all classes, agi
tates every group, demoralizes indi
viduals, and drives great nations to
policies of insanity. Under Its hyp
notic spell men and women seldom, if
ever, correctly evaluate their powers
or their positions. It respects no holy
purpose, no lofty principle, no ex
alted station, and is as disastrous to
the rich as it is to the poor. Able
scholars, characters endowed with
genius, people who apparently had
the world at their feet, have been
known to make shipwrecks of their
lives upon the rock of Jealousy.
Every avenue of life is marked with
tha serpentine trail of this green
eyed monster.
It was Jealousy which lighted the
conflagrations that destroyed. ancient
Troy and originated the conflicts be
tween Rome and Carthage. Under
the delusions of Jealousy popes have
ex-communlcated one another, while
kings have officially butchered or
secretly assassinated their most effi
cient servants. In its Inception the

most depressing feature of it all is
the terrible certainty with which this

Jealousy Is Active Today.
For jealousy Is as active today in
modern civilization as it ever was In
the most primeval epochs. They allow
Jingoistic Journalism which defiles so
much of our own American society
gets its color from the jaundice of the
nation's soul. Should a visitor from
Mars ask you why commonwealths,
having every facility for trade, edu
cation, and moral improvement, should
degenerate Into habits of intercourse
reeking with the filth of the jungle,
the answer would have to be found
in their contemptible political Jeal
ousies. Beneath many a fair word
of diplomacy the nations today eye
one another as Saul eyed David.
One of the big problems of the 20th
century, as all students of history
well know, Is the industrial problem.
And there Is no question that much
of the present restlessness of Indus
trial circles is due to the festering
sores of unredressed wrongs. History
makes it perfectly clear that there is
no other source of social upheaval
that may equal a plain injustice cap
ablo of being rectified. Nevertheless
It is perfectly evident, both In
Europe and In America, that the
thing which rankles at the core of
economic maladies and hinders their
cure Is the plain but putrid passion
of human jealousy.
The rivalries among employers
themselves and. the conflicts between
employers and employes all have their
roots not so much in an unjust so
ciety as in a Jaundiced heart. People

a text book dealing with underlying
causes of the struggle.
In "Portraits of the Nineties." by
E. T. Raymond, we have again a. note
of wistful longing for the "good old
days": "The sun shone brighter in
those days; the east wind was less
bitter; the steaks were Juicier; the
landladies were a kindlier race.
There was a zest and flavor In life
lacking today. Youth was emanci

a stern step-father in the state. The
world was all before one and the fu

South Africa. The author and com
piler had made a considerable study
authoritative standards of morality
and religion, which alone can meas
ure permanent prosperity and the
real values of life. They have al
lowed themselves to be browbeaten
by material temporalities. As for
being "content with such things as
they have," an apostolic injunction
which experience has proved a pre
servative against malice, envy, rail
ing and the rest of ths filthy brood
mothered by Jealousy, many folks
nowadays would hiss the apostle out
of court. Intense' desires, not for a
living wage alone, which is alto
gether right in any honest workman,
but intense desires for luxuries, then
extravagances, and finally for ener
vating excesses, beckon us all on In
a crazy dance which winds up in
moral disaster and spiritual destitu
tion. Having become addicted to fast
living we soon exceed the need limit.
Sumptous surroundings, gay clothes,
staring pictures that would give
Oscar Wilde a stroke of apoplexy,
automobiles costing the price of a
boy's college education, owe their
demand by the foolish to the spirit of
jealousy which prompts their emula
tion by other fools. The eye that
glowered in the head of Saul Is not
altogether foreign to present sight

of silly women and shiftless men. .
Professional Life Discussed.
Again, we may trace this vice of
Jealousy not only In political and in
industrial life, but also in profes
sional life. Be the reasons what they
may, and certainly they are anything
but obscure, professional people seem
to be even more susceptible to the
ravages of this moral Jaundice than
the people who buy and sell.
The Jealousy existing between
clergymen is today one of the chief
obstacles in the path of Christian
unity. The quarrels of authors, to

DES MOINES, la., Jan. 28. An in

of the United States of Amer

by Dr. Lewis Seymour Mudge of
Philadelphia, Pa, stated clerk of the
church. Dr. Mudge was In Des Moines
making arrangements for the annual
general assembly of the donomination
to be held 'here beginning May 18 and
continuing for ten days.
Dr. Mudge announced that the num
ber of communicants of the church
now exceeds L700.000. This, he an
nounced, is a gain of more than 85,000
over last year. The church also has
more than 1,400,000 Sunday school
members.
Contributions during last year. Dr.
Mudge said, exceeded 347,000,000, of
which more than 84,200,000 was spent
for foreign missions, 83,701,000 for
home missidns and more than 81,000,

In an official statement concerning
the church by Dr. Mudge in the re

It Is recorded: "The Presbyterian

of Christ by Judas is generally at

the lineage of Judas and you will find

these often fade Into insignificance

The Bridie, by M. C. L. PickthalL The
Century Co, New York city.
A new American novel that has a
peculiar Interest, and having in it a
plot that includes a psychic drama
which uses to the full of its possibili
ties certain laws of the mind that
psychologists teach.
Sand storms so terrific that houses
and beached ships are swallowed up.
a love that persists neurly to the gates
of death, five murders, a strange hero
and yet a stranger heroine, and other
strong elements make up the warp
and woof of the story. The scenes are
laid around the great lakes, probably
centering around Cleveland, O., or
near to Detroit, Mich.
In the first chapter Alan Maclear.
civil engineer and bridge builder,
cringes and shivers because he, the
engineer who drew the construction
plans, had seen to it that the central
borings of Berslmls bridge bad not
gone as deeply as they ought, so that
construction expenses had been
cheaper, with more profit to the firm
that built the bridge. The result was
that one day the bridge falls and car
ries with it four men, one of whom is
Alan Maclear's own brother Gordon.
Retribution comes with remorse and
terror for what Alan has done and
for many days he fancies that he
hears, even in his troubled sleep, the
crash of falling steel. He had loved
his brother Gordon as he loved his
soul.
Molra, widow of Gordon, calls on
Alan. In the old days Alan had
thought he loved Molra. Now Molra
looks strangely at Alan, as if she
would read the secrets of his mind.
Her womanly intuition tells her that
Alan Is the guilty one that made the
bridge fall, so that more dollars could
make their way to the engineering
firm, and suddenfy the widow cays to
Alan, with compassion In her voice:
"Poor Cain."
Aware that his secret has been dis
covered, Alan plana flight. The lake
is before him, wide and troubled, and
with quick purpose Alan dives down
into the water to end his unhappy life
right there. He sinks down and down.
Then he seems to arise to blackness
and then oblivion. At last he awakes,
to find that a stranger had hauled him
to a wharf, a stranger who originally
had followed him for the purposes of
robbery.
Alan and his rescuer see an old lake
schooner loading stone, the Marline
Mcsier, belonging to Alan's firm, and
Alan cries to her captain: "Take me
out. I must go anywhere where I
shan't hear the bridge. Anywhere
where I can forget." They sailed on
the lake for days and when they came
to Tallis island Alan said: "Put me
ashore here."
Nearly everywhere is sand and ther
are only a few houses left that the
sand has not engulfed. Here Alan
makes his home in a partially ruined
boarding house. A storm of wind and
sand begins and Alan had to fight for
his life with the sinking, drifting sand.
On the beach he sees a young woman,
blown about with foam and gazing
toward the coming night.
"Hold me," said Alan, "hold me fast."
He looked to her as an anchor amid
the drifting sand and "she held him
fast against all his storms." She says
her name is Sombra Lux, and she and
her brother Salvator live with a man
named Malt Ransome. Alan falls in
love with Sombraaand she with him,
but she ever Insists that she is lower
in the social scale than he, and feels
troubled about it. Sombra Is described
as being "strange and beautiful." She
tells Alan she knows by intuition that
he has committed some wrong and he
tells her about the bridge disaster and
his connection with it as construction
engineer.
Ransome attacks Salvatore and,
fearing for his life, Salvator kills his
assailant. By this time Alan and
Sombra are married. She thinks that
she is accursed as a murderer's sister
and she runs from her husband, refus
ing to live with him. Alan calls to
see her and finds her asleep. When
he retires Sombra says: "My husband
has been here," and he seems to pos
sess strange powers of divination.
The point argued out is: Is Alan,
who is responsible for various deaths,
not more guilty than Salvatore, who
only caused one death? And what
about personal responsibility? Lat
terly Alan passes a good deal of his
time trying to persuade his wife to
live with him and in looking for a
mental bridge to bring them together.
His love Is pictured as the most pre
cious possession in his life.

this green-eyed monster In Its real
nature.
For the home, well constituted,
founded on the love of God, and- gov
erned by the precepts of Christ, Is
our one foretaste of paradise.
Thither we repair when wearied of
the strife, and there we find rest for
body and soul. But once let Jealousy
enter this incipient paradise and It Is
as though tha fires of the hearth had
been lighted by the flames' of hell.
The face we adored becomes sullen
and disfigured and the voice that
once made our muslo Is vibrant with
discord.
On this theme Shakespeare has
built one of his greatest dramas.
"Othello" has become to English
literature what Saul was to the
Hebrew scriptures. But the tragedy
ot the household devastated by Jeal
ousy is not confined to the classics.
Dally we confront the sickening scene
as we scan the headlines of extras
and special editions. The precincts of
domestic love may be invaded by
many enemies, but certainly by none
more terrible than this demon which
looks on an innocent David with the
eyes of a selfish Saul.
Hunger, revenge, to lep are potty foes.
But only deatn. tbe Jealous eyes can cloae.
But there Is one more region of
jealousy that I must not fail to men

Jealousy, I am pained to admit. Is not
unknown even in the fellowship of
Christ's church. Indeed there are few
other tendencies more Insidious and
more inimical to Christian work and
worship than Is this jaundice of the
soul.

Loat Valley. by Katharine Fullerton
Grould. Harper & Brothers, New York
city.
Madge Lockerby, strong, courageous
and gentle, is a character In this New
England novel that shines like a star
in the firmament. She Is the good
angel of the household to her sister,
Lola, a girl of wonderful beauty, but
the efforts of those who will. Dis
tinctions of property, education and
general privileges among professed
Christians often make the church
most fertile field for growing the
weeds of jealousy. That which ought
to be a garden of love is converted
into a jungle of prejudices.
Think of the awful tax upon the
long-suffering of Almighty God im'
posed by the jealousies of churoh of
ficers and church teachers and church
committees and church musicians.
The fact Is, a strong argument for
the church's divinity may easily be
built upon its age-long survival of
the puerilities and idiocies of so many
of its members. About the only thing
apostollo with a lot of disciples is
their childish -imitation of the twelve
apostles In their Jealous quarrels
to which of them should be the most
conspicuous in tha kingdom of
heaven.
How can people worship God when
they come to church with their minds
as full of evil thoughts about their
neighbors as a hole in tbe rock Is
full of rattlesnakes? Oh, yes, you
may try to excuse yourself with the
plea that you are not really Jealous,
but only a little "super-sensitive."
But you had better be sure that God
is not colorblind, but is able to de
tect the real jaundice of what euphon
iously you call your dignity or your
self-respect.
Men and women, let us have done
with all of these social and personal
jealousies! If there are those who
can sing better or give more or look
wiser or talk faster than we can,
let us thank God that we have such
accomplished neighbors and in the
grace of Jesus Christ endeavor our
selves to be master of at least one
art the fine art of living humbly
with one's God in order to live
smoothly with one's fellows.

ROME, Jan. 28. Pope Benedict de-s
rived much pleasure from 4ha
BChool of tapestry which he caused
to be established among the many
workers who spend their lives In
decorating or repairing the immense
palace of the Vatican,
The school is now In full workM
Ing order and producing beautiful
painted copies of the tapestry pic
tures. It la housed In some of tha
rooms of the old papal mint, off tha
Vatican gardens, and, after his after
noon walk, the late pope, often looked
In to see how the work was progress
ing and to order fresh subjects.
The school recently completed nt
copy of Grlvelll's Madonna, In tha
Vatican picture gallery, which It has
taken 14 months to produce, and tha
pontiff Just before his death ordered
a reproduction of the upper part of
Raphael's marvelous "Dlaputa,"
which will measure 12 square yards
and will require seven or eight years
to complete.
The Vatican contains the most
glorious tapestries in the world, many
of them almost unknown to the gen
eral public. There are tha famous
Raphael tapestries In the Stanze, the
15th centnry tapestries of the Borgia
apartment, the Incomparable Farnese
tapestries and thbso given by Louis
XIV of Franco to the pope of his day.
Negro's Pica Ingenuous.
Abe Jackson (colored) was indicted
for stealing money from the station
agent of a railroad. As the railroads
were then under the control of the
government, tha trial was In a United
States court.
The station agent, who was white,
testified that he did not know Jack
son and had never seen him before
the day of the theft.
Jackson's defense was ingenuous.
He did not deny that he got tha
money from the agent, but claimed
that he won It.
The presiding Judge seamed as
tounded at this defense, and asked:
'Do you mean to tell me that you
won this money from tha agent
shooting craps?"
"Yes, suh."
"Why, the agent don't know you
never saw you before that day!"
"Deed, Judge, you don't have to
know folks tuh shoot crap wlf "em!"
Jealousy Is one of those devils of
which the Master said that .they coma
not out except by prayer and fasting.
Strenuous measures must be used
here. It Is a battle in whloh there
Is no substitute for a regenerated
heart. On this score mere culture
has Its distinct limits, while educa
tion often becomes only an aid to
the enemy. Some of the most Jealous
minded people In the world-are peo
ple finely trained and highly cultured.
Nothing but divine regeneration can
heal the soul of its Jaundice. In tha
majority of Instances this vice is due
to morbid self-esteem. Its main In
centives are the worship of one's own
person and affairs and a correspond
ing' depreciation of tha Interests of
others.
To meet and overcome these evil
tendenoles, supplicate the glorious
Son of God, who laid down the one
rule that can best exterminate Jeal
ousy. That rule Is: "Let him that
would bn first among you be the
servant of all.''
I plead today for a humane, broad
minded, generous, sympathetic fel
lowship. Worship Godl Love Christ!
Cherish your friends! Forgive your
enemies! Harbor no Jealousy against
men or nations. For thus only you
be children of your Father, who
"maketh his aun to rise on the evil
and the good and sendeth his rain on
the Just and the unjust.
