VVESTFIELD REPUBLICAN, WEDNESDAY JULY 27, r3^3. The longeryou sift the less you save. There is no economy in using a coal stove in .summer, no matter how careful y o u a r e . A modern VAPOR STOVE will reduce your fuel bill, lessen your labor. You can do anything on a Vapor Stove that y o u c a n d o on an}- other stove, a n d d o i t bet- ter. It makes no dirt, is always read}', and never over-heats the house. STOVE GASOLINE is the most economical fuel you can burn, because there is no waste to it. It is the cleanest fuel you can burn because there are no ashes. Therefore no dust or dirt. If you want to know what real comfort is, get a Vapor Stove. If your dealer does not sell Vapor Stoves and Stove Gasoline, write to the Standard Oil Company, New York City. .International S. S. LtMMMs for July 31. Naboth's Vioeyanf. I Kings 21:4-16. Read tne whole chapter. Gfoldea Text— Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house." Ex. 20:17. An I?r:telite earned Naboth had a.vine- ard in the city of Jezreei. near Aliao's palace, which the king coveted, and asked niaa to sell, in violation of the command if the Lord: "When ye come into the laud which ] give you . . . The land siiail nol be sold forever, for the land is mine: i . ?>• are strangers and sojourners with Me. ' And Naboth said, "The Lord for- hid that I should give the inheritance of aiy fathers unto thee." Then the king was displeased, and Idia down on his bed, and would not eat: but the unscrupulous queen Jezebel said to him, "Dost thou now govern Israel ? I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth." So she wrote in the kiag : s name pro- claiming a fast, and ordered Naboth to be set on high among the people. Then two >f lawless men were directed to bear false witness against Naboth saying, "Thou didst blaspheme God and the king,'' and then to carry him out and stone bim to death. And when this evil <pieen heard that Naboth was dead she told her husband, and he took possession of the coveted vine- yard which Naboth's family were prob- ably afraid to keep. But the Prophet Elijah was not afraid to denounce against the king and queen the vengeance of one higher than they. The Lord told him to go to Aiiab who was in the vineyard of Naboth to possess it, and to say to him, "Thus saith the Lord, in the place where dogs licked u p t h e blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine." A u d of Jezebel also spake the Lord, saying, "The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreei."' The judgment upon this gu'uty man "which did set himself to work wicked- ness in the sight of the Lord, whom Jeze- bel his wife stirred up," was tliis: "I will take away thy posterity . . . for the prov- ocation wherewith thou hast provoked Me to anger and made Israel to siu." When Ahab heard these words he humbled himself before the Lord, and God said because of this, "I will not bring the evil in his days, but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house." Soon after this, at the battle of Ramoth- Gilead, Ahab was slain, and the dogs lick- ed np his blood at the pool of Samaria. And the whole house of Ahab perished in t h e field of Naboth, 13 years later, as the Lord had said. "The way of the trans- gressor is hard." Thousand-.

MERE FORMAL PROCEEDINGS TV>i*c For the Week Beginning July 31. Comment by Rev, S. H. Doyle. TOPIC—Tin: evils of covetou^iiess.—Ex. xx, 17; Lake xii, B-2L CorvetoaanesB i s a n inordinate and un- lawful desire for that which is not ours. It usually loads to an effort to possess what we wish for most inordinately, whether by fair means or foul ones. Covetoosness is forbidden b y t h e l a w of God. "Thou shalt not covet" i s t h e final command of God in the summary of the moral law given to Moses. Covetousuess is selfishness. It does not consider the rights of G o d o r t h e rights of man, but only self. The rich fool, w h o h a d such abundance that he did not know what to do with i/, did not i n q u i r e , " W h a t would God have me do':" or "What d o m y obligations to humanity demand that I should do?" b u t o n l y " W h a t shall I do?" a n d t h e conclusion reached w a s a selfish one— "This will I do, 1 will pull down my barns and Imild greater, and th«-ro will I bestow all my fruits and goods," not to n s e f o r G o d o r humanity, b u t f o r h i s own ease for many years. That which lead.- us to disregard <1<A and to fail to consider our fellow men is a great and grave evil. Covetonsness is one of the most dan- gerous evils to.which humanity is heir. It is a sin of the heart a n d i s n o t s o easily Been and its dangers realized. It creeps upon n< gradually a n d h a s u s i n its toils bet ,]•• w e a r e aware of it, and. in fact, while its prisoners many never realize the i,e-r. N o s i n i s s o insidious, and in this fact lies one of its greatest dangers. It is also a prevalent evil It affects, more or less, the whole human race. Man naturally desires that which is of value and attractiveness to £ him, and it is an easy step from the natural, proper desire to a n inordinate, sinful desire. Being so prevalent, it is lightly treated by men generally. It is forbid- den b y t h e l a w of God, b u t n o t b y t h e law of num. It is often called by other I names, and applauded by the world I rather than condemned by it. But ir is I no less an evil in the sight of God. God look.-, at the heart and not on the out- ward man. The world's standard of judgment is not God's standard. We may escape the judgment and punish- ment of men, but when we stand before God we will be judged by what w e a r e and n o t b y what we seem. The cure for covetonsness is Chris- tianity. Christianity teaches m e n t o live for God and for humanity rather than for self. Such a m a n c a n never bo covetous. Christianity shows us the ab- solute deceitfiflness and uncertainty of the riches of this world a n d of t h e folly of saerinVinjr eternity for time. Chris tians themselves are often too much ab • sorbed in the things of this world. As Christians aud as Endeavorers let us prove to the world by our lives and teachings that godliness with content' meut is the most desirable of all pos- sessions. Bible Readings.—Joshua vii, 16-26; I Sam. x v , 10 2 5 ; I I Kings v, 15-27; Ps. x, 8; Prov. xv, 27; xxi, 24-26; Isa. v, 8; Eocl. v, 10; Ezek. xxxiii, SI; Math, xxvi, 14-16; Mark v i i , 2 1 , 2 2 ; Acts v, 1-11; Rom. xiii, 9 ; E p h . v , 5 ; I Tim. vi, 9-11. The Active Love. Contemplate the love of Christ—that which made his life so much t o t h e world, so much t o y o u a n d m e , was ac- tive love, or love in action. I f w e would study that perfect character more, w e w o u l d love it more, a n d o u r o w n characters would become more like His. The Christ life would bring us very near to God. If a piece of iron i s p u t close t o a n electrified body, the iron be- comes charged and both become mag- nets while together. If we will keep close t o t h e Father spirit, we shall fee the magnetic touch of His love, a n d o u r hearts will thrill with new life. The great G o d a n d Father of all, the eternal spirit of love, can never fail. He is the same yesterday, today and forev- er, and that spark of the Infinite i n o u r own breasts shall never cease to burn until w e a r e purged from all dross. God has loved us into being and will love us until the great purpose of our creation is accomplished, until everything shall be subdued unto H i m , " a n d H e shall be all, a n d i n all. "—Universalist. French Ambassador Instructed to Open the Negotiations. Great Sins. The great danger in the Christian life is the supposition that only great sins affect the life. O n t h e contrary, it is rare that the evil comes in like a flood. There is in the embankment the little crack through which the water trickles almost unobserved, and in such small quantity that it is not regarded as worthy of effort to restrain it. But each minute it works its deadly work, re- moving particle after particle, until, under the stress of the storm, it opens the way for the giving away of the embankment, a n d i n a moment the flood with its ruin!—Lutheran Observer. • O R X A . •The Kind You Hate Always Bought The Bible.

His First Duty to Ascertain If the United States Would Consider Any Peace Pro- posal That the Spanish Government Might Make—The President Will Sub- mit the Proposition to His Cabinet and Inform the French Ambassador Later on of the Conclusions Reached — Thus Par It Is Not Known What Terms Spain Will Propose, or What Terms the United States Will Offer or Accept. WASHINGTON. July 27.—The Span- ish grovernn-.eni hap sued for peace, not directly through the great powers of Europe, but by a direct appeal to President McKinley, The proposi- tion was formally submitted • the president at 3 o'clock yesterday after- n.xin by the French an.bassador M Jules Cambon, wha had received in- structions from the foreign office at Paris to d-liver to the United States government the tender of peaee form- ulated by the Spanish minister. At the conclusion of the conference be- tween the president and the French ambassador, the following official statement wis issued from the White Hnuse: 'The French ambassad >r on behalf of the government of Spain, a n d b y d i - rection of the Spanish minister of for- eign affairs, presented t.> t h e presi- dent this aft -neon at the White House, a message from the Spanish government looking to the termination of the war and the settlement of terms of peac •." This was the nnly official statement made public, but it sufficed to pu; at least all conjecture an.l to make clear and definite that at least Spain had ;akeii the initiative toward peace. Al- though p ace rumors have been our- rent aim..si daily heretofore since the war began, not one .if them had the shadow of foundation, and until the French ambassad >r received Instruc- ti ms fmm Paris late Monday nisiht no overtures of a n y kind had been re- ceived. Shortly before midnight a dis- patch to the French embassy made it known t.> t h e embassy that the am- bassador would be- charged with the important mission of opening peace negotiations in behalf of Spain. The complete instructions, including an official letter from Duke Alraodovar Rio. Spanish minister of foreign af- fairs, was received yesterday morn- ing. Thereupon M. Thiebaut, first secretary of the embassy .called at the state department and asked that an hour be appointed for a call b y A m - bassador Camion on the president. The purpose of the call was not stat- ed. It was arranged at the White House that the call should be made at 3 o'clock. M. Cambon first went t o t h e state department, where he was joined by Secretary D a y a n d t h e t w o of them proceeded together to the White House. The <iall lasted about half an hour, and after the first formalities had been executed by If. t'ambon. the talk be- came general and quite informal, the president, the ambassador and /the secretary of state discussing the out- look for a conclusion of hostilities. The proposition submitted by the ambassador acting for the Spanish government was quite general in terms and was confined to the one essential point of an earnest plea that nego- tiations be opened for the purpose of terminating t h e w a r a n d arriving at terms of peace. The communication of the Spanish government did not suggest any specific terms of peace nor was there any reference made to ('uba. the Philippines. Porto Rico or other Spanish possessions.- The evi- dent purpose of the Madrid authori- ties was first to learn whether the United States would treat on the sub- ject of peace and after that to take up such terms as the two parties might suggest. Neither was there any sug- gestion from the Spanish government that an armistice be estrblished Dend- ing the peace negotiations. It seemed natural, however, from the proposi- tion that formal peace negotiations be entered upon that pending their con- clusion a cessation of hostilities would occur. Owing to the importance of the com- munication the ambassador adopted the usual diplomatic procedure of reading the communication from the original in French, the translation be- ing submitted by M. Thiebaut. In the conversation which followed the reading of the proposition neither the president nor the ambassador entered upon the question of the terms of peace. The instructions of t h e a m - bassador had confined him to the on? essential point of opening peacp over- tures and it was evident that the president desired to consider the prop- osition at this moment before giving any definite reply. It was finally de- termined that the president fNOvM consult the members of his cabinet concerning the proposition and after a decision hud been arrived at M. Cam- bon would then be invited at the White House for further conference and for a final answer from the Unit- ed States government. Before the call closed, and there will not be another was agreed upon in order to set at reat misleading conjecture and to give to the public information on subject which had advanced beyond the point where diplomatic reserve was essen- tial. When the president will submit the Spanish proposition to the cabinet has not yet been announced. The call of the ambassador was Jtwo hours after he cabinet meeting of the day had :losed, and there will not be another •egular cabinet meeting until Frt- iay. It is generally understood, how- ever, that a - special cabinet meeting will be held in order to make prompt reply to the proposition. Secretary of the Navy Long arrived at the White House Shortly after the French ambassador had departed and had a talk with the president, dur- ing which the Spanish proposal was s;one over briefly. Mr. Long said af- terward that it was an initial move, 'but in r, ply to inquiries as to whether it was likely to bring a speedy cessa- tion of hostilities, he expressed some ioubt, saying that no decision o n t h e points involved had been reached thus far. • Naturally the plea of Spain to open peace negotiations opens a wide field for conjecture on what the terms of peace will be. Thus far there is no official warrant for saying what terms Spain will propose, or what terms the United States will offer or accept. So far as this country is concerned it is the general impression that the com- plete Spanish evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico will be insisted upon as a sine qua non. There is not the same certainty as, to the Philippines, La- drones and Carolines, although t h e b e - ief is growing that the terms of t h e United States will include coaling sta- tions in these groups. On the part of Spain it is believed that she now has reached such a re- alization of her misfortune that she will readily consent to terms for the evacuation of Cuba and probably Porto Rieo. The Spanish idesire is apparently very strong for the reten- tion of the Philippines, although there is little doubt that coaling stations there and at other points "would be conceded. The matter of w a r indem- nity is for future consideration, al- though there does not appear to be a disposition amons- the officials here to pil- up a heavy war indemnity against Spain in her present helpless condition.

Cambon presented his cre- dentials to President McKinley J a n . 15, Ivv PREPARING AN ANSWER. There Will He No Acceptance Which Will Imply tin- Stoppage of W a r . WASHINGTON, July 27.—During th.- late aftem ion and evening the president conferred with most of the members of the cabinet, and the Span- ish proposition was thoroughly can- vassed. S. ( retaries Day. Alger and Long were at the White House dur- ing the afternoon and in the evening the president was joined by Secretaries BlisS and Wilson an.l Postmaster Gen- eral Smith. There was no cabinet meeting In the ordinary s^nse. but these talks with individual members served about the came purpose a s a formal meeting. It was understood the president would be prepared to trive an answer within the next few days and certain- ly before the next regular cabinet day on Friday. No intimation came from any official source as to the probable character of the answer. There were strong Intimations, however. that there would be no acceptance which would imply the stopping of t h e w a r when the American arms were adding victories on victories and the embark- ing on a vague diplomatic negotiation. It was felt that this government had everything to lose in a subtle game of diplomacy, in which the only certain element would be the inaction of .air army and navy. For this reason there was a disposition in official quarters to know what terms were in sight be- fore entering upon general negotia- tions. In case the peace negotiations are opened, the means by which they will be carried on are not determined nor have they been officially considered. It is understood, however, that one means likely to be proposed is to au- thorize direct negotiations between Spain and this country. Spain being represented by Senor Leon Castillo, the Spanish ambassador at Paris, and the United ^States by General Horace Porter, our ambassador to France. This plan is quite tentative, however, and is rather doubtful whether the United States government would con- sent to have such important negotia- tions removed so far from Washing- ton and conducted in a European capital where the atmosphere might not be conducive to forwarding the desires of this country. Spain's peace proposal excited deep- est interest throughout Washington and for the time being war news gave way to animated discussion of t h e prospects o' peace. This was partic- ularly true in diplomatic circles. Sev- eral of the foreign representatives made inquiries of the state depart- ment as to the meaning of the French ambassador's call and learning that he had presented Spain's proposition for peace, full reports were cabled to the foreign offices. ^ASE BALL.
