political consequences

alone Napoleon's career, but the destiny of France and the map of Europe, hung upon the result of Friedland. Had Napoleon been defeated by Alexander I. of Russia at Friedland his successes at Jena and Ansterlltx would bar# been undone. Prussia would have been restored. Austria would have been aided by thc conqueror at Friedland to take revenge for Auaterlltx and would In the end have won back the Italian territory lost at Marengo. Friedland resembled the battle of Marengo In a military sense. At Marengo Napoleon so manenverod as to force the enemy. Austrians, to leave their fortlfl cations and attack the French. The Austrians began the attack when the French were scattered over a wide field and at the dose of the day were poTninRliy victors. Napoleon, however, gathered his force* and by a most Impetuous attack, ordered after 5 o'clock, won a decisive triumph. At Friedland Napoleon again maneuvered to draw the enemy—Russians, under General Bennlgscn—from their fortifications. In so doing he separated his several corps by many miles, and Bennlgsen fell upon the French corps of Lannes at the town of Friedland. on the banka of the river Alle. The Russians crossed the Alle to get at Lannes. but. falling In rapidity and decision, were stood off by Che French until 6 o'clock In the afternoon, when Napoleon and bis whole army reached the field. Bennlgsen was caught In a trap, with die river behind him, spanned by bm one good bridge and a poor pontoon bridge and having only a single ford and that almost useless. Napoleon's chief of artillery, Senannont. trained thirty guns to play upon the river crossings, supporting by cannon fire des|>erate attacks made by the French Infantry, under Marshal Xey and Marshal Victor. The Russian disaster was as great as that suffered by the Austrians at Marengo, and Napoleon was again In a position to dictate terms which settled the fate of klngBefore the battle of Friedland Alexander L of Russia was the savior of Europe as against the grasping designs of Napoleon. A few days later be met his conqueror at Tilsit and In the most notable treaty of modern times recognized the Corsican “upstart" as the legltlma'.e emperor of France. All of Napoleon's acts, even the dismemberment of tbc kingdom of Alexander’s ally. Frederick of Prussia, were sanctioned. Small wonder that Napoleon said In ids last days that this was perhaps the happiest moment In his life, because “I found myself victorious. dictating laws, haring emperors and kings iiay me court." It la Interesting to note here how Napoleon's career was marked in periods of Jost seven yean. At the age of twenty-four. In 1793. he scored his first battle triumph at the siege of Toulon. Every year up to 1900. when be arts thirty-one. saw him advance, and that yaar, at Marengo, he showed himself the master soldier of his time. Each year added new martial or political victories up to 1907. when at Friedland the Emperor Napoleon, who was then thirty-eight, became master of Europe. But the tide turned. In 18X

Christopher Columbus when he sailed westward from the port of Palos In 1-192 had In view Identically the same object which Inspires the cutting of die Panama canal—namely, the discovery of a water [mssage to the orient.

Dawes, the financier, recently laid stream upon the evil of "easy money” promoter* “Distrust the financial demagogue aa you would the political demagogue” be say* That advice la Just as good the other wny end as sorely needed.

For thirty years or more some of our people have been looking to the government to straighten out kinks Intraslia. opportunity, and all that. This only another way. of waiting for lay money." No government, howw wise, iiowerful and geueroua, can Iiermanently help any class or any man wants something for nothing. Government Is a plain business proposition and as hard In It* way as poverty and adversity. Its primary duty Is to p a system and keep order, while the citizens.

Comment and Sugsjestive Thought. Th* Divine Guidance.—Fx. 13:17— 14:4. Three great routes led out of Egypt to the east 1. The Phllistla road, or "the way of the land of the Philistines" (Ex. 18:17). was the northern road, and crossed the line of the lakes which form the bed of the modern Suex canal Just north of Lake Ballah, at a point still known as El-Dan tarah, "the bridge." 2. The Wall Road, "the Way of Shur," L e.. wall (Gen. 16:7). Is the central road, starting from the northern end of Lake Tlmsah. near the modern town IsmalUa. It goes straight Into the desert, and leads to Palestine by way of Beermheba and Hebron. It was probably along this road that Abraham and Jacob went Into Egypt. But there was a long stretch of desert, and It would require a continuous miracle to sustain the people and their flocka. S. The Red Sea Road, “the Way of the Wilderness of the Red Sea" (Ex. 13:18). was the road "which swept across the wilderness, between the two arms of the Red sea. from the head of the Gulf of Suex to the head of the Gulf of Akabah." It Is today the great route of the pilgrim caravans to Mecca. The natural choice of Moses was the first route, the northern or Philistla road. He was not yet guided by the pillar of fire, nor, In the first flush of victory over Pharoah. did he probably realize the weakness Hebrews, and their need of long discipline before they could conquer Canaanltes. The pillar of cloud and of fire made Its appearance at Etham, again to desert that pilgrim band till the Jordan was crossed and It had settled down to brood over the house of God."—F. B. Meyer. It was the presence of Jehovah, manifested supernatural fire, which gave lofty column of smoke, visible afar over the host by day. while at night the Fames were reflected brightly upon the smoke, like the Inner fires of Vesuvius that Illuminate the dond cap of the volcano. Some such signal was needed to guide the great mass of people. Moreover, the cloud was protection against the heat of the aun; and, beat of all It afforded a — slant assurance that God had not them to themselves. Pharaoh's Pursuit. — Ex. 14 Some time most have elapsed before Pharaoh would have pursued Hebrews. "The piety of the I riant to the dead was so great the weightiest political affairs would necessarily be neglected while the king paid the last honors to hla dead son. Besides, the families of the officers and soldiery had also been universally bereaved." — Oelkle. ~ Pharaoh soon found time to repent of haring let the Israelites go. "The public works stood still (or lack ol labor. Vast territories were suddenly unoccupied. There was a sudden loss of revenue and service which he could ill dispense with."—F. B. Meyer. Th* Divine Encouragement.—Ex. 14: 10-18. “The sea before and that serried host behind,—It able alternative to men who could neither fight nor swim."—Hamilton. before were a people In so evil a case; to the right of them and to the left of them rose lofty monnand behind them were the soldiers of Egypt But one way i bpio—the way upward, the way God's throne and heart.”—R. 8. Mac’Arthur, D. D. The fiokle and ungrateful people, however, turned upon Moaes with bitter reproaches Hla i one of the grandest exof faith recorded In the

Bible.

Th* Miraculous Passage.—Vs. 19-2*. The night came on. The first part was moonless, for It was at least three or four days after the full moon of the Passover. In the light of the pillar of fire, however, the Israelites moved forward In obedience to M< But that light would disclose to Egyptians the movements of the Hebrew boat, and therefore the great cloud removed behind the Israelites, turning toward them Its bright side, but Interposing between them and their toes a barrier of Impenetrable black, like the plague of darkness which they had recently experienced. Practical Points. Wa have no miraculous pillar of cloud and fire to guide us, but we have none the less the actual presence of God which waa back of the cloud and fire. God's guidance brings Christians Into positions of great dlfllcultyi from which they see no escape. But such a position "la a platform for the display of God’s almighty grace and power."—F. B. Meyer. “ d leads us Into danger He safely through ft.'—W. M. Taylor.
