THE INTERNATIONAL SUNDA ¥-S8CHOOL LESSON.
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.

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. Nothing
prevented Herod himself from rising but

bis love of self and sin. . . . Whom I
beheaded: No need of the Baptist now!
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.

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-
