Tim VISIOX.-('s. 1. 2, ,l)-Our lesson poi tains to tho fifth of eight visions granted to Zechurlah In the night. (Zeeh. I: S) These, given at one time, tot forth an ordeily pi ogress of thought which may be had only by leading the entire seiles, from chapter I: 7. to vl. S This lslon may bo called "Tho Golden Candlstlck with the Two OHe Trees" The candlestick was foi mod after the pattern of the one In the tabernacle (i: xv: .11-37) but with -come remarkable variations It had a. lound vessel on tho top, seven feeding tubes for each lamp, and two tiees nt its sides, none of which weio in the original In the sanctuary. Tho candlestick represents the chinch as tho appointed, light beaier In a dark wen Id. This is confirmed bv sevoial passages In the New Testament (Matt, v: 14.) spoken bv Christ nnd Paul (Phil. II. ID.) and by the oxpiess statement of the angel In explaining a somewhat similar vision to John In Patmos. (Hev I: 20). Tim MYSTKIIY. Vs. 4 and 5 ) What Idld all this mean? Zeoharlah was convinced that some Important truth was to bo communicated to him, but ho was unable to Intel pi et tho pic ture, or, if he lrid some conjectuio con cerning the significance of it. he de sired to be assured. Hence ho asked an explanation fiom the angel who had been sneaking with him. The angel's countci -question Implies that tho pro phet might hao learned the object of tho vision from tho analogy of the gol den candlestick in the holy place Hero a epiestion arises for our consldeiatlnn Why did God piesent to His servant that which was in Itself so mysteilous as to require an explanation Why was not tho message spoken at once In Its simplest fnim" Because tho visual method was adapted to the un developed mind, calculated to convince one of a supern.itui.il presence. This wns tho reason for the burning bush. (12. Ill: 3.) seen bv Hoses, and the cloven tongues that appeared to the apostles. (Act. II 3.) ei s was a geneial In the intlltla.

LOYALTY AS COLLATnitAU Amei leans capitalists who feel In clined to lend that $10,OOU,uoO previously mentioned to Haiti may bo Interested to learn that, by article 40 of tho con stitution of the Haitian republic, "pub ljc debts are guaranteed and placed under tho safeguard of the loyalty of the Haitian nation." Sir Spencer St. John, formerly British minister to Haiti, tells a good story on this head. Tho Haitian minister In Pails went to a famous French banker to con tract a loan for Haiti and natuially the capitalist asked him what security he could offer. The minister replied, grandiloquently: "The constitution place th pu'bllc debts under tho safeguard of the loyalty of the nation." The banker eyed him curlouslv for i moment and then s.ild "Thane; yo.r I have business to attend f. Good morning." Tho Now York bank -s c whom President Sam Is now apolylng will no doubt agree In wantl.ig soine better security than tho "consfl'utlon" offers.

This figure of speech wns employed by Jesus In an nddiess to the disciples (Mutt x. II 20.) when He declared their ability In His service. It is in full har mony with all those utterances In which tho help of God men are made strong. Listen to Paul's confident ns- seitlon (Phil 1 13,) and see the ptom Ise to those who abide in Chi 1st.

(Kzra III- 11), Seeing then that such success was cei tain, tho angel who spoko to Zecharlah addressed a word of repioof to the faint-hearted, to those who had looked with discouragement upon tho struggles of the years since the people leturned from Babylon. Those were days of small things not to be despised Tho Jews themselves and especially their enemies, who had frustrated and hindered them, must think these feeble efforts were nil for nausht. The eyes of tho Lord w hlch run to nnd fro through nil tho earth beheld this work. Ho know what had been done nnd with what motive, and He would bring all things to pass In Ills own time. Tim QUESTIONS (Vs 11 and 1J ) The piophct appeals to have giasped though even the best-tasting, thorough ly rlne and perfect choiiles start up veiy lino cases of colic and cholera morbus, which are very annoying. The colored people of the south think, and It may bo that the same belief exists olsewheie and among otheis as well, thnt all the cramp or colic Is taken out of tho cheiry by eating It, swallowing stone and all. That unquestionably was the practice once, but In recent years feats of appendicitis may have changed It somewhat, though for the life of me I cannot understand why It Is so dangerous now to swallow apple seed, grape seed or cherry stones, when in old-fashioned times It was tho rule to do so, rather than the exception." INSURED FOR 810,000,000. The Aggiegnte of Policies on the Piince of Wales' Life. From tho Chicago Pecord. A big Insurance man told mo recent ly In New York that tho Prince of Wales was the heaviest risk of any patron of the Insurance buslners, nnd that his death would cost Hngllsh, Ger man. French and American companies not less than $10,000 000. "No other person carries 20 per eens of that Insurance " he said, "but com paratively little of It Is for the bene lit of his family, peih.ips not moie than $1,000,000. Some voars ago large poli cies were taken out by his ciedltors as security fot money loaned. If ho should over pay his debts thev would, of course, revert to him, and might b2 can led for tho benefit of his family, but his premiums, like the premium on all of the royal families of Kurope. ur voiv high much higher thin those paid by private Individuals for the same amount of Insuiance 'It Is a curious fact." continued mi insurance ft lend, who spends a good deal of his time in l.ngl.ind, "that $2, 000,000 oi J'l.OOO.OOo of Insuiance per haps moie than thnt, has be"n placed on tho life of the Prime of Wales as i speculation b poisons who do not know him unci never had any lolatiom with him whatever.

This In quiring splilt Is highly commendable j It has been well said thnt pattlal knowledge Is only disturbed Ignorance It fioquontly occuis that people, Inn i Ing gained n limited view of a subject fall Into most serious error, resulting in damage to themselves und to others While it Is true that in this life all knowlerlgo must be imperfect (1 Coi Kill : 12,) '.' should ever be remembered that Investigation should bo pushed up to the boundary of all that Is possible U who voluntnrlly stops short of that line misses the glory of life and dimin ishes his power for good. (llos. Iv 0)1 Tim DlSCLOSUim (Vs. 13 and II ) Zecharlah's Inquiry was promptly ie- I wnrded. The angel gave him Informa tion of great Impoitnnce. The two olive trees, two olive branches, nnd tho two golden pipes were emblems of the two anointed ones that stand by the Loid. There has been some discussion among scholars, but the gcneial opin ion Is thnt these two anointed ones weie Zerubbabel and Joshuu, the gov ernor and tho high priest. They repre sented the civil nnd the religious pow 01 s, through whom God comes to men, ns the oil llowod through tho branches and tho pipes to tho candlesticks Here Is plainly taught that the state and the church are tho channels through which Divine lntluences proceed to the good of men. This truth Is plainly taught In many pastnges of Sciipture. See tho words of Jesus as to the chuich (Matt xvl: IS,) and of Paul as to the state. (Horn, xlll: 1.) It was of tho utmost Importance to make this disclosure nt this time to Zocharlah to exalt his Idea of both Institutions. Tti:FLi:OTIOXS. The order of Di vine Providence Is often obscured Many men stand at the open door of gieat opportuntlos, fearing to advance because of untoward clroum'stnnces In ancient times God was pleased by spec ial message to make known Ills will, speaking by men upon whom His spirit wns laid. (II Peter I: 21.) Now He di rects us to the record of earlier revela tions which aie more reliable (II Peter 1. 19,) and bids us study to know what Is right and best. Of one thing nil may be assuied that Ho will accomplish His puipose, overcoming obstacles and bringing to pass even what at times may bo continry to human foresight. In that accomplishment of that pur pose Ho ordinal lly employs political and ecclesiastical forces, both which aio the appointed agencies or channels of His grace, nnd they should ever bo so legarded.
