First Quarter. Lesson XI. Matt. XIV. 1-12— Sunday March 13 1904. DEATH OF JOHN THE BAPTIST. Extremes met in the fortress palace of Herod Antipas on the occasion of his birthday banquet. Nazaritish abstemious- ness kept vigil in the dungeon. Herodian wantonness blazed and reeled in the ban- quet-chamber. Self-oblivious devotion be- low is matched by an overweening ambition above. The forgiving spirit, ready to pray for despiteful users, is offset by a vindic- tive thirst for the blood of one whose very life was a rebuke to sinners. Oa the inky agate of the Herodian court the character of John Baptist stood out in high relief, a clear-cut cameo of snowy luster. If any Herod ever needed a post-graduate course in the art of luxury, this one had it. He received his finishing touches during bis visit to Rome. At that capital of de- bauchery he contracted the incestuous and adulterous connection which called forth the Baptist’s stern and constant *‘'t is not lawful!’ This banquet seems to have been, in part at least, a military affair. Antipas was toasting and feasting his officers. He was | putting them in heart for the war into which his unnatural crime had plunged him. Their ivory coaches rested upon tessellated floor of banquet-hall in the mar- ble palace, within the impregnable fortress of Macherus. The tetrarch’s couriers had brought in haste from every quarter the daintiest viands of fish, tlesh, and fowl, while wine filled galden goblets to their brim, and the air was scented with jet and spray of perfume. = EE EEE EERE EERE Aa Herodias was in her boudoir. Ambition was her ruling vice. She had discarded her rightful husband, father of her beauti- ful daughter, because, forsooth, he had no title. She married one who already sus- tained the relation of uncle and brother-in- law to her, and in doing so displaced a loy- al wife from her husband’s side. At length Herodias had a title and nu- merous palaces and fawning courtiers; but she had also a Nemesis, whose imperious *‘It is not lawfal,’’ neither threat nor oca- jolery nor bribe could silence. Her strait was desperate. The uncompromising preach- er of righteousness was making prog- ress with her paramour. If he converted him, she would be discarded, and all lost. She had secured the Baptist’s imprison- ment. But locks and bars seemed no re- straint to his subtle influence, while his dungeon-walls seemed to echo bis ‘It is not lawful! with ever louder detonations. The desperate and wicked woman baited her hook with her daughter's modesty, and wens angling in the pool of drunken revel- ry. When Antipas found himself caught, he lacked moral courage to snap the hook. He feared to vex Herodias, and had super- stitious scruples about breaking his oath. He doubted the effect of his vacillation up- on the courtiers and chiliarchs whom he was seeking by this very banquet to attach more closely to himself. On the other hand, he was apprehensive of the effect on the people of the murder of one who stood so bigh in their regard. Wretched man! This was the turning-point in his career. With the infamous choice of this hour he began the descent which terminated in disgrace exile, death. A moment later, Salome, a paragon of voluptucus beauty, flushed with her laseciv- ious dance carries, with an inbumanly steady hand a golden platter from the ban- quet-table, on which rests the head of the martyr. A choice dish that for Herodias! It was her share in the banquet. THE TEACHER'S LANTERN. A character in which there is no balance- wheel of principle is despicable. When such a one reaches a position of power it is public calamity. ‘‘As a roaring lion and a raging bear, so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.”’ Some who would be lavish in their upbraiding of a social out cast are singularly mute before sin while it is shrined in wealth, luxury, and power. John Baptist was not of that order. : No station in life is so lofty as to lift its occupant above the reach of the pains and penalties of sin. They can pass even pal- ace- doors and fall with their full weight upon kings’ hearts. . It is a fearful thing to deliberately cherish hatred and re- venge in the heart. It is the seed of inur- der, and is sure to bear its crimson fruit. . For his oath’s sake. A poor woman of my city said to me last winter that there came a day when they had not a scrap to put on the table. She put her shawl on, aud went down to the corner saloon, and stated the fact to the saloonkeeper, remind- ing him, in addition, that her husband bad spent a good deal of money at his bar. He professed to be sorry for ber, but said he had promised not to aid anybody, and .there- fore could not help her, Surprising how tenacious some men are of their oaths and promises when it suits their conveience! That proverb has no weight with them, ‘‘A bad promise is better broken than kept.”’ . . This was that Herod who, in mockery, clothed Jesus in royal robes and sent Him back to Pilate. . . . . Oautof the cor- rupt court of Herod Antipas, Manahem, his foster brother. and Chuesa, his major-domo, rose to discipleship with Jesus.

Conscience performed the office of ten thou- sand accosers. That the way of the transgressor is bard never had more apt illustration than in the case of Herod and Herodias. The inordinately ambitions wom- an induced her thushand to go to Rome and enter his claim to the title of king. But he lost even what he had‘ and both perished miserably in exile. CHILD-STUDY AND SUNDAY-SCHOOL METH- ODS. Benjamin Kidd affirms the sense of rev- erence to hea preponderating element in the type of character which the civilization of the future demands. It will be observed that we bave ready at hand an efficient agency for the cultivation of reverence. It is the Sunday-school. In America alone ten million scholars are enrolled. In spite, however, of great numbers and thorough organization, it is an open question wheth- er the end desired is always conserved. It has taken the Sunday-school a hundred years to outgrow the semi-secular tinge Robert Raikes gave it, a secularity for which he is not altogether responsible— which, under the circumstances, he could hardly avoid—but for which there is no‘ the slightest excuse at the present day. The idea that the Sunday-school is an an- nex or addendum to the Church should not be tolerated. In the true ideal, it is the Church. The Church resolves itself into that specific form for the time being for the specific purpose of stimulating reverence and imparting religions knowledge. If this be true, the same spirit which per- vades the publicservice should characterize the Sunday-school. The worshipful and reverential spirit need not be lugubrious or severe. In fact, the real article is never that. The smart, patronizing, affectedly- stirring conduct of a school is palpably out of harmony with the. high ideal of rever- ence. The unecclesiastical furniture, cast- off, second-hand, marble-top tables and wornout divans, are at war with the rever- ential spirit. The appointments of the Sunday school should be ecclesiastical. The symbols of faith should be displayed. There should be a lecturn. As an object- lesson, the superintendent ought to read from a large Bible, in sight of the children. The singing, too, must be worshipfnl. The business incidental to a Sunday-school shonld come before the opening—the hooks returned and taken out, and the library closed and the librarianin a class. The secretary takes the census, and the treasur- er the offering, before the school is called to order. By this rule certain very desir- able ends will be conserved. Interruption of class work will be avoided and a contin- gent added to the corps of teachers or scholars. The following order of service is suggested: 1. Silence. 2. Invocation. 3. “‘Gloria Patri.”’ 4. Lesson study (when the scholars are freshest; short; not too many things; some things thoroughly). 5. Supplemental ethical lesson. 6. Review from the desk, if desirable, and if there is one present who is competent to conduct it 7. Or an ethical address. 8. Silence. 9. Passage read from the great Bible at the lecturn. 10 Hymn. 11 Prayer. 12. Bene- diction. 13. Silence. 14. Separation.

Stylish and Best, Fitting Clothes oo ATEN on Gifts of Emperor Menelek. Lion Cubs, Elephant Tusk and Trade Treaty Cost $200,000. "Two lion cubs and an elephant tusk for the president; a treaty with Emperor .Menilek, who imports and exports about $1,500,00, a year from all sources and a bunch of decorations for himself and his marine guards are the total result of the trip of Consul Skinner to Abyssinia. This trip cost the government about $200,000, as Consul Skinner was given a special war ship and a big guard of United States marines in order that the Emperor might be impressed properly with his im- portance. In the ordinary course of events Consul Skinner’s teport would have been made, public in consular reports, hut be- cause of the interest taken in the lion cubs and elephant tusk by the president it is to be issued as a kind of ‘‘state department extra.’”’” The consul is back at bis post in Marseilles, France, enthusiastic over his trip. Koreans Interested in Photography . Seoul is a picturesque place. Most of the houses are one-story in beight and are boilt in a style unfamiliar to occidental eyes. The more wealthy residents usually build with very heavy timbers, and the greater part of the walls is of clay and“ mud. The roofs are often steep and pic- taresque. They are built over a lattice work filled in with clay and mud. Clay tiles are laid over the roof. Poorer residents have houses resembling those of the rich, except that the timbers are lighter and the roofs are thatched with rice straw instead of clay tiles. Photography is an art which interests thousands of Koreans. Over ten years ago photographers were well patronized in even the smaller cities of the peninsnla. In the larger towns the photographers were well advanced in their line. —Hart- ford Times. It SAVED His LEc.—P. A.
