Extra strain needs extra strength.
When a man begins to add to his hours
of labor, and subtract from his hours
of rest, he is putting an extra strain on
brain and body. In such cases many
men make the serious mistake of using
stimulating liquors, or alcoholic medi
cines. These can only injure. The spur
forces on the horse, but .does not
strengthen him. Stimulants are only
spurs. The need of the body is
strength. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is invaluable to overworked
men ana women. It strengthens the
stomach, increases the blood supply,
nourishes the nerves, and gives vital
power to brain and body.
There is no alcohol in "Golden Med
ical Discovery." It contains no opium,
Wcocsine or other narcotic. is strictly
F temperance medicine.

MARK 31. 13-22.
BY REV. J. E. GILBERT, LLD.,
Secretary of American Society of Religious Education.
PARALLEL. The passage of Scrip
ture set for our study today follows
immediately upon that of last Sabbath
thero Is no omission to break tho con
tinuity of tho thought, although the
transition from ono Incident to the other
Is abrupt. It Is especially worthy of
comment that three evangelists (the Byn
optics) record .the snmo events (Matt. Ix:
9-17; Luke v: 27-37), with much agreement
of details. This three-fold parallelism
occurs only three times previously In tho
Gospel, and Indicates that we have
before us matter considered to be Im
portant when viewed from the different
standpoints of theso writers. But why
Important? Because the act of our Snv
lour In this connection concerned every
branch of the church In after yenrsi Gen
tile, Jewish and Middle Christian being
Involved.
RESORTED (Verse 13).-After curing
the man sick of the palsy Jesus left Ca
pernaum and went forth ulong tho shore
ol the sea of Galilee. TIiIb movement
from tho city to the open country was
frequently practiced (Mark Iv: 1), be
cause It afforded opportunity for a dif
ferent kind of mlnlrtry and released our
Lord from tho pressure Incident to con
stant contact with the city population.
Besides, It separated His audience Into
two classes. Those who had been drawn
together out of mere curiosity would
naturally repair to their homes, while
those who were specially Interested, from
whntcver reason, would follow Him. 80
It occurred that the crowd went with
Him ' on this occasion, und He, never
weary taught them. Thero is no report
of Ills sermon.
INVITED (Verse 14).-Whlle walking
along, attended by his eager audlenef,
Ho came to the olllco of the tux-gathercr,
11 place of considerable Interest In a com
mercial town. There sat Levi called
Matthew (Matt. lx:9). attend? to the
duties, of his station. To him lesus
addressed two words only, "Follow me."
This Invitation hud but a single meaning
and must havo been understood by nil.
A rabbi or teacher g lined pupils In that
way (John xil: 20). It signified Unit one
should become a compmlon and earner.
The custom was to commit precept- to
memory nnd reduce them to practice.
Thnt was In the spring of the year 2',
perhaps a year after our Lord began His
ministry. It must have surprised all
who heard that He hnd chosen a publi
can to be one of tho number who shuuld
become supporters of His cause. And
what was till more surprising, tho man
at once forsook his busin m, its nonors
and reward, and obeyed.
QUESTIONED (Verses 15 and 1K).-As
an Indication of the gladness with which
he responded Matthew made a great
feast In his house (Luke v: 29), In honor
of his new Master. He must have been

MUSICAL GOSSIP,
The date ot the organ recital to be
given' by Mr. Haydn Evans In the
Piovldence Presbyterian church has
been fixed for Monday evening, March
26, Mr. Evans will be assisted on this
occasion by Mrs. Lizzie Hughes-Brund-age,
who will be kindly remembered
by many friends, new and old, from
this part of the city. It was at this
church that Mrs. Brundage gained her
first laurels In the musical circles, to
which she hus so bountifully contri
buted of her voice and assistance. In
the choir of this church, under the di
rection of Mr. W. 8. Hulslander, Lls
ale Hughes began her musical career,
which has been marked with pleasing
effeot In the different church and social
a gentleman of large property to bo able
to do this. Naturally he Invited to that
table many of his old friends, publicans,
men of the world, who hnd no particu
lar Interest In Jesus or His teaching, but
who were pleased to be recognized In
this way. Mixed up with 'the guests were
the disciples or Jesus, forming 11 motley
crowd ot saints nnd sinners, quite unlike
the ordinary groups on Jewish festive
occnslons. Gathered about were scribes,
those scholars who sorved as copyists
and expounders of the law, who were
greatly horrified at this procedure. Then
began the whimpering of the critics, who
cared more for established custom than
for righteousness. Drawing the disciples
nslde they questioned concerning this
Irregularity and Bcandal.
ANSWERED (Verse 1T).-The flsclples
muy have reported the conversation to
the Master, or He may have overheard It.
By whichever way He became nwnre'of
the question He proceeded to answer,
Tho feast, ns to Its guests, was In full
harmony with His exalted minion. As
a physician He hnd not como to well
people but to the sick, e.nd He r.iuft
therefore associate with those who He
sought to bless. If thev were sl'tners
Ho had come to call them to repentance
(I Tim. 1; 15). Here was a rebuke to the
Pharisees who were Intent upon saving
themselves by separation from all un
holy Influences. Here Is tho law that
must govern all who seek to save oth
ers (John III: 16). Contact and sympa
thy with men, without following in their
evil ways. Is essential to any large In
fluence over them for good (James 1: 27).
WONDERED (Verse 18).-Tlic answer
was doubtless a satisfactory explanation,
but only In pnrt. Jesus might associate
with sinful men for their good. The crit
ics could understand that. But, then,
another question arose, "How could He
and His followers engage In a fast nt
all?" Religious leaders before Him had
fasted, expecting spiritual good through
bodily privation and mortification, ac
cording to the time-honored theory that
thero Is a necessary antagonism between
soul und body (I Cor. Ix: 27). John, the
Illustrious preacher of righteousness,
who had attracted national attention,
had been abstentious (Matt. Ill: 4), and
so had been the eminent men among the
Pharisees, nil of whom had enjplned slm
liar hublt upon their disciples. Why,
then, should these followers of Jesus
unite with one who has recently accept
ed Him In a feast with the ungodly?
EXPLAINED (Versus IS und 20).
Christ's reply was simple and com
plete. He explained by asking a ques
tlon concerning a very familiar custom.
A marriage was u. time of festivity. How
could the guests assemble on Buoh an
occasion In a solemn, thoughtful spirit,
organizations with which she has been
affiliated. At all times Mrs. Brundage
Is the painstaking, sincere singer, and
at all times highly appreciated.

xxv : 5), whose presence was sufficient to
awnken gladness. Thero was no occa
sion for sorrow while Ho remained (John
HI: 29). On the contrary, thero was ev
ery reason for those who gathered about
Him to rejoice (Psalm xvl: 1). If ever
His followers should beoomo sad and
dejected, and If ever they should enguge
In any acts of mourning It would be
after His departure from them (John
xvl; 0).
ADAPTED (Verses 21 nnd 22).-Jesus
did not pause with this personal allu
sion, appropriate and adequato as It was.
He had como nlto the world to establish
a new system of religion not a new re-
liglou, but a new method of spiritual cul
ture. This fasting belonged to the olo
or Jewish system and was not adapted to
the new or Christian, at least not to that
particular stage of the Christian system,
Ho did not Intend to condemn the prnc.
ttce altogether. There is evidence to
the contrary. He Himself fasted (Matt.
Iv: 2), and showed Its utility under some
circumstances (Matt, xvlll: 21), and Cor
nelius found favor with God by the same
physical exercise (Acts x: 30). The church
at Antloch, moreover, made this an Im
portant part cf religious worship (Acts
xltl 2-3), But tho frequent and excessive
fasting of tho Jews was not to be car
ried over to the disciples. Such rigid
observance would be like putting new
wine (the Intonscr spiritual life), Into old
bottles (the formalism of the old dlspcn-
tlon).
REFLECTIONS. In this lesson Jesus
Illustrates by His conduct the broad and
liberal spirit of the Gospel, contrasting
It' with tne narow bigotry of the Phari
sees, In three, particulars: 1. In the
man chosen to be an apostle, Levi, the
publican. Only the posterity of Aaron
could minister at Jewish altats (Ex.
xxvlll: 1). Under Christianity all whom
Jesus calls are worthy to publish the
glad tidings to men (Rev. xxlt: IT). 2.
Judaism meant separation from the
heathen, that there might be no contam
ination (Ezra, x: 11). The Gospel re
quired believers 'to seek the ungodly
(Matt, xxvlll: 19), nnd to win them from
the error of their ways. 3. Judaism en
joined many observances as means or
grace or memorials of mercy, Chris
tianity released these burdens and re
quired the service of the 'heart In much
Joy (II Cor. vlll: 12). Who will not ac
cept Him, tho mighty Saviour, tne ever
present Friend, whose cross Is ' easy,
whose burden Is light? (Matt, xl: 29).
