Si Disgrace of Arrest Has Wreck- ed Ex-Dictator ' s Health. MORTALLY SLL i TEXAS. Too Much Strong Drink Is One Rea- son Given For Hia Sickness—Con- stantly Guarded by Representatives of This Country, There Is No Like- lihood of Escape, They Say. The belief that General Vietoiiano Huerta is suffering a mortal illness has resulted from reports received at the department of justice in Washington as to bis condition. General Huerta lies closely guarded ii> , an officer ' s home on tbe reservation at Fort Bliss, El Paso , Tex. His strength is gone and his spirit broken. The attorney general' s desire to ascer- tain the condition of his health result- ed from a request that he be released on bail pending his recovery. As a result of the inquiries-: made by the agents of the government at Fort Bliss the belief has gained ground that one of fate's ironies is likely to be con- summated in bringing about the ex- dictator' s death iu imprisonment under the government which he flaunted with such high bravado In the early days of President Wilson 's adminis- tration. The exact cause of Huerta ' s illness has not been given in the reports which have been laid before the attor- ney general. All of them agree that he Is " seriously" and " critically" ill and that no fear for his escape need be entertained if bis release Is permitted at this time. Too Much Strong Drink. Early reports had indicated that Huerta had suffered from the effects of too much alcohol imbibed botb be- fore and after his arrest at El Paso last summer. These reports recall the stories which came to the United States In the days when the Huerta regime at Mexico City was tottering, which de- scribed midnigh t parties in the cafes of the Mexican capital and one in par- ticular which ended with a lnng drive in one of the parks in the presidential limousine, during which the dictator drank freely from a bottle of his fa- vorite cognac. The strong body and iron will of the ruler who wns able to defy the wishes of the United States for so long u time have been broken either by the ex- cesses or by the humiliation of his con- finement. The reason why a request is now mnde for Ihe withdrawal of the department if justice ' s guard from his bedside is not t<> permit his removal to more agre. able quarters, but merely to relieve the mind of the old soldier of the displeasure caused by the fact that he is constantly under guard . He has told his friends that be is never permitted to ln> alone even to receive visitors . It was understood tbat the guards will be withdrawn temporarily and that no bail will be demanded for this accession of liberty. The old man is so ill that the govern- ment officials have no fear of his es- cape from the military reserv ation , nor do they believe it physically possible that he should attempt to leave the officers ' quarters , where he has been lodged for the past several months. The story of Huerta ' s misadventures since his arrival in the United States nearl y a year ago is a pathetic one. When he was finally compelled to bow to President Wilson ' s dictu m "Huerta must go " and to retire from Mexico City he went to Spain , where he dwelt for Severn I months with his family among friends of earlier days. Last spring he decided to return to the United States and took up his resi- dence on Long Island. Departm en t of justice secret servic e agents watched him closely from the first. They knew of reported activities of his former friends, and before very long the at- torney general ivas receiving reports indicating tha t the former dictator was considering the practicability of return- ing to his fatherland for a new effort to gain control of the governmental power. Huerta Closely Watched. Evidence that Huerta was permitting himself to becom e involved In the plans to create H condition in Mexico which might iii' r I'TTT-'itate intervention by the United States caused agents of thi* government to keep him under the clos- est surveillance. Finally no was arrested at Bl Paso and charged with having contemplated an insurrectionary exjiedltloh into Mex- ico In violation of the neutrality laws Qf the United States. He was guard- ed for a time in the residence of his daughter at El Paso and might have been released on ball without opposi- tion from Washington had he so de- sired. He was frightened , however , at re- ports that attacks " might be made on him by agents of Carranza and Villa and demanded that he be accorded the protection of the United States govern- ment. This demand resulted ln his in carceratlon at Fort Bliss , where he had the quarters of an officer and was guarded by deputy United States mar- shals. Our Average Incomes.

Text of the Lesson, Acts i, 1-13—Mem- ory Versos , 3 , 4—Golden Text , I Cor. iii , 16—Commentary Prepared by Rov. D. M. Stearns. The event of this lesson , the coming of the Holy Spirit , was on the day of Pentecost , or the fiftieth day after the resurrection of Christ. It was fore- shadowed , as was all else, in the law. In Lev. xxiii there is a record of the feasts of the Lord (verses 4, 44) in which anointed eyes may see His death and resurrection, tbe coming of the Spirit and His return in glory. When He was here in the days of His flesh these feasts ' had become merely feasts of the Jews with tbe Lord left out , like much of the worship of today which is only out ward form witbout reality. The passover typified the death of Christ , our passover. The sheaf of first fruits on the morrow after the Sabbath clearly Indicates His resurrec- tion , Christ the first fruits. The other first fruits fifty days after the former suggests the lesson of today, the anointing of believers, the beginning of tbe church story, and the feast of tabernacles points to His coming agahi ln glory and the conversion of all Is- rael. There is great profit in a special study of all these. See how sin in believers is typified by the leaven in the second first fruits (verse 17). Re- turning to our lesson , from which we wandered to Lev. xxiii because of the fiftieth day, note the expression " with one accord" which, if I have counted correctly, is used In Acts Just eleven times, sev en times in a good connectiou , as in chapters i, 14; ii , l , 46, nnd four times of the enemies of the Lord , as in vii , 57. If but a few believers could be heartil y of one ac- cord in the Lord' s sen-ice great things migh t be accomplished, as when the disciples continued in prayer and sup- plication , about 120 men and women (1, 14, 15) . When the time was fully come the promised comforter, the Holy Spirit, came upon them and filled them all (verse 4; i, 8; Luke xxiv , 49). There was a sound as of a rushing, mighty wind , and cloven tongues like as of fire sat upon each of them (verses Ll. 3), both the wind and the fire bein . - ' symbols of the Holy Spirit (Matt iii. 11; John iii, 8; Ezek . xxxvii, 9, 1>»I. The Spirit on tbis occasion enable-! them to speak in the different lan- guages of the people named in verse* . 9-11, but note carefully that they all understood what the disciples said. and they all talked of the wonderful works of God. Contrast this with the so called tongues movement of our day, much of which consists of strange sounds which no one on earth can un- derstand. See also what the Spirit says by Paul concerning the necessity of speaking words easy to be understood and that he would rather speak five words that could be understood than ten thousand that no one could understand (I Cor. xiv, 9, 19) . Note that the only epistle that makes mention of tongues is one in which those to whom the epistle was written were spoken of as babes and carnal (I Cor. iii , 1-4). See also how love is exalted above all else, the love that is kind and thinketh no evil (I Cor. xiii), and contrast such love as is there de- scribed with tlie seeming lack of love which says that , if sick , we have no faith , and if we do not speak in tongues we are not Spirit filled. It does seem to me that tongues which do not glorif y God by helping some one to know Him better cannot be of God , however well intentioned and zealous the people may be. Our Lord said that the Hol y Spi:*it. whom He would send, would enable them to bear witness unto Plim (i , 8), and the one only thing for wbich believers are on earth is to bear witness to the fact that Jesus Christ is alive and tbat He is living His life in us , that those who know us may want to know liim because they kuow us and thut we may help to make Him aud the glorious story of His great salvation known to the end? of the earth. We said In last lesson that the com- ing of the Spiri t was in no sense the coming again of "this same Jesus," for he said that the Spirit would be " an- other comforter " (John xiv , 16), and " another " cannot mean "the same." He said that the Spirit would abide with us, dwell in us, teach us all things, bring His words to our remem- brance , testify of Him , guide us into all truth , show us thiiigs to come and glorify Christ (John xiv , 16 , 26; xv , 26; xvi , 13. 14). These things the Spirit loves to do, as well as to convince of sin and of righteousness and of judgment (John xvi, 8). Whatever Is not along the lines of the work which the Spirit came to do must be the work of some other spirit. These Spirit filled people were accused of being drunken , and there ls some- what of an analogy, or a contrast , if you prefer, between a drunken person and a Spirit filled person. The man filled with Wine is indifferent to what others think And acts as if he owned the whole thing; the man filled with the Spirit knows that all things are his and is not moved by what others think or say of bim. See Eph. v, 18. Ac- cording to chapter i, 14, Mary, the mother of Jesus, was one of those Spirit filled people, and that ls the last time we read of her.

HUERTA MAY DIEPRISONER OF 0. Si

Disgrace of Arrest Has Wreck-ed Ex-Dictator 's Health.

MORTALLY SLL i TEXAS.Too Much Strong Drink Is One Rea-

son Given For Hia Sickness—Con-stantly Guarded by Representativesof This Country, There Is No Like-lihood of Escape, They Say.

The belief that General VietoiianoHuerta is suffering a mortal illness hasresulted from reports received at thedepartment of justice in Washingtonas to bis condition.

General Huerta lies closely guardedii> , an officer 's home on tbe reservationat Fort Bliss, El Paso, Tex. Hisstrength is gone and his spirit broken.The attorney general's desire to ascer-tain the condition of his health result-ed from a request that he be releasedon bail pending his recovery.

As a result of the inquiries-: made bythe agents of the government at FortBliss the belief has gained ground thatone of fate's ironies is likely to be con-summated in bringing about the ex-dictator's death iu imprisonment underthe government which he flauntedwith such high bravado In the earlydays of President Wilson 's adminis-tration.

The exact cause of Huerta's illnesshas not been given in the reportswhich have been laid before the attor-ney general. All of them agree thathe Is "seriously" and "critically" illand that no fear for his escape need beentertained if bis release Is permittedat this time.

Too Much Strong Drink.Early reports had indicated that

Huerta had suffered from the effectsof too much alcohol imbibed botb be-fore and after his arrest at El Pasolast summer. These reports recall thestories which came to the United StatesIn the days when the Huerta regime atMexico City was tottering, which de-scribed midnight parties in the cafesof the Mexican capital and one in par-ticular which ended with a lnng drivein one of the parks in the presidentiallimousine, during which the dictatordrank freely from a bottle of his fa-vorite cognac.

The strong body and iron will of theruler who wns able to defy the wishesof the United States for so long u timehave been broken either by the ex-cesses or by the humiliation of his con-finement. The reason why a request isnow mnde for Ihe withdrawal of thedepartment i f justice's guard from hisbedside is not t<> permit his removal tomore agre. able quarters, but merelyto relieve the mind of the old soldierof the displeasure caused by the factthat he is constantly under guard. Hehas told his friends that be is neverpermitted to ln> alone even to receivevisitors.

It was understood tbat the guardswill be withdrawn temporarily andthat no bail will be demanded for thisaccession of liberty.

The old man is so ill that the govern-ment officials have no fear of his es-cape from the military reservation, nordo they believe it physically possiblethat he should attempt to leave theofficers ' quarters, where he has beenlodged for the past several months.

The story of Huerta's misadventuressince his arrival in the United Statesnearly a year ago is a pathetic one.When he was finally compelled to bowto President Wilson's dictum "Huertamust go" and to retire from MexicoCity he went to Spain , where he dweltfor Severn I months with his familyamong friends of earlier days.

Last spring he decided to return tothe United States and took up his resi-dence on Long Island. Department ofjustice secret service agents watchedhim closely from the first. They knewof reported activities of his formerfriends, and before very long the at-torney general ivas receiving reportsindicating that the former dictator wasconsidering the practicability of return-ing to his fatherland for a new effortto gain control of the governmentalpower.

Huerta Closely Watched.Evidence that Huerta was permitting

himself to become involved In the plansto create H condition in Mexico whichmight iii'r I 'TTT-'itate intervention by theUnited States caused agents of thi*government to keep him under the clos-est surveillance.

Finally no was arrested at Bl Pasoand charged with having contemplatedan insurrectionary exjiedltloh into Mex-ico In violation of the neutrality lawsQf the United States. He was guard-ed for a time in the residence of hisdaughter at El Paso and might havebeen released on ball without opposi-tion from Washington had he so de-sired.

He was frightened, however, at re-ports that attacks "might be made onhim by agents of Carranza and Villaand demanded that he be accorded theprotection of the United States govern-ment. This demand resulted ln his incarceratlon at Fort Bliss, where he hadthe quarters of an officer and wasguarded by deputy United States mar-shals.

Our Average Incomes.The average annual income of each

resident of the United States is nearly$350. The average annnal income ofeach -htsldent of Great Britain is $280.

THE NEW YEAR AND THE OLD.

Cus hail the New Year with a racket

of joy,Witli handshakes, confetti and

horns,And greeting of gladnesa to stran-

gers and friends.While a smile every feature adorns.

Let us frolic and rollick in time to thechimes

That are ringing and swinging on high,And pouring the notes from their silvery

throatsIn a musical shower from the sky.

'Twas a faithful old year, we will drop ita tear

As Into the past it departs,Ere we hurry along with a. laugh and a

songIts successor to clasp to our hearts.

But no matter how good were tha thingsthat it takes.

Or the pleasures that vanish from view,There are better to come, and so let us

be offWith tho old year and on with tho new .

—Minna Irving.

A NEW YEAR'S WISH.SPEED a blessing on this day

To friends at home and far away ;Wing thy love into each heart,Ere the season's joys departOn the dovvneast and depressedBend a year of peaceful rest-Bid all sorrows melt awayWith the snow of New Year's day.

—Martha J. Oplo.

SUNDAY SCHOOL.Lesson II.—First Quarter, For

Jan. 9, 1916.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.

Text of the Lesson, Acts ii, 1-13—Mem-ory Versos, 3, 4—Golden Text, I Cor.iii, 16—Commentary Prepared byRov. D. M. Stearns.

The event of this lesson, the comingof the Holy Spirit, was on the day ofPentecost, or the fiftieth day after theresurrection of Christ. It was fore-shadowed, as was all else, in the law.In Lev. xxiii there is a record of thefeasts of the Lord (verses 4, 44) inwhich anointed eyes may see Hisdeath and resurrection, tbe coming ofthe Spirit and His return in glory.When He was here in the days of Hisflesh these feasts' had become merelyfeasts of the Jews with tbe Lord leftout, like much of the worship of todaywhich is only out ward form witboutreality.

The passover typified the death ofChrist, our passover. The sheaf offirst fruits on the morrow after theSabbath clearly Indicates His resurrec-tion, Christ the first fruits. The otherfirst fruits fifty days after the formersuggests the lesson of today, theanointing of believers, the beginningof tbe church story, and the feast oftabernacles points to His coming agahiln glory and the conversion of all Is-rael. There is great profit in a specialstudy of all these. See how sin inbelievers is typified by the leaven inthe second first fruits (verse 17). Re-turning to our lesson, from which wewandered to Lev. xxiii because ofthe fiftieth day, note the expression"with one accord" which, if I havecounted correctly, is used In ActsJust eleven times, seven times in agood connectiou, as in chapters i, 14;ii, l, 46, nnd four times of the enemiesof the Lord, as in vii, 57. If but a fewbelievers could be heartily of one ac-cord in the Lord's sen-ice great thingsmight be accomplished, as when thedisciples continued in prayer and sup-plication, about 120 men and women(1, 14, 15). •

When the time was fully come thepromised comforter, the Holy Spirit,came upon them and filled them all(verse 4; i, 8; Luke xxiv , 49). Therewas a sound as of a rushing, mightywind, and cloven tongues like as offire sat upon each of them (verses Ll.3), both the wind and the fire bein .-'symbols of the Holy Spirit (Matt ii i .11; John iii, 8; Ezek. xxxvii, 9, 1>»I.The Spirit on tbis occasion enable-!them to speak in the different lan-guages of the people named in verse*.9-11, but note carefully that they allunderstood what the disciples said.and they all talked of the wonderfulworks of God. Contrast this with theso called tongues movement of ourday, much of which consists of strangesounds which no one on earth can un-derstand.

See also what the Spirit says by Paulconcerning the necessity of speakingwords easy to be understood and thathe would rather speak five words thatcould be understood than ten thousandthat no one could understand (I Cor.xiv, 9, 19).

Note that the only epistle that makesmention of tongues is one in whichthose to whom the epistle was writtenwere spoken of as babes and carnal(I Cor. iii, 1-4). See also how love isexalted above all else, the love that iskind and thinketh no evil (I Cor. xiii),and contrast such love as is there de-scribed with tlie seeming lack of lovewhich says that, if sick, we have nofaith, and if we do not speak intongues we are not Spirit filled. Itdoes seem to me that tongues whichdo not glorif y God by helping some oneto know Him better cannot be of God,however well intentioned and zealousthe people may be. Our Lord said thatthe Holy Spi:*it. whom He would send,would enable them to bear witnessunto Plim (i, 8), and the one only thingfor wbich believers are on earth is tobear witness to the fact that JesusChrist is alive and tbat He is livingHis life in us , that those who knowus may want to know liim becausethey kuow us and thut we may helpto make Him aud the glorious story ofHis great salvation known to the end?of the earth.

We said In last lesson that the com-ing of the Spiri t was in no sense thecoming again of "this same Jesus," forhe said that the Spirit would be "an-other comforter" (John xiv, 16), and"another" cannot mean "the same."He said that the Spirit would abidewith us, dwell in us, teach us allthings, bring His words to our remem-brance, testify of Him, guide us intoall truth, show us thiiigs to come andglorify Christ (John xiv, 16, 26; xv, 26;xvi, 13. 14).

These things the Spirit loves to do,as well as to convince of sin and ofrighteousness and of judgment (Johnxvi, 8).

Whatever Is not along the lines ofthe work which the Spirit came to domust be the work of some other spirit.These Spirit filled people were accusedof being drunken, and there ls some-what of an analogy, or a contrast, ifyou prefer, between a drunken personand a Spirit filled person. The manfilled with Wine is indifferent to whatothers think And acts as if he ownedthe whole thing; the man filled withthe Spirit knows that all things are hisand is not moved by what others thinkor say of bim. See Eph. v, 18. Ac-cording to chapter i, 14, Mary, themother of Jesus, was one of thoseSpirit filled people, and that ls the lasttime we read of her.
