V: 22-24; 35-43. BY REV. J. E. GILBERT, D. D. LL.D., Secretary of American Society of Religious Education. PARALLEL. The passage for to day's lesson, llko that studied March 18, covers events recorded In tho writ ings of two other evangelists. (Matt., ix:18-19, 23-26; Luke, v:21-21, 33-43.) The account In tho first gospel Is brief est, contradicting tho theory of some wlio claim that Murk and Luke copied from Matthew, while the main points, those of chief Interest, arc to bo found In till three of the records. It Is inter esting to note these correspondences. When some mattets are omitted and others are related, greater importance must attach to the latter, and the stu dent should have this thought In mind as he advances. It is also worthy o comment that tho three writers break their narrative to insert an Incident, which, as it has no relation to tho main event, is not Included 'by the lesson committee In our present meditation. REQUEST (Verses 22, 23, 21). As Jesus returned to Capernaum from that memorablo voyage on tho lake, In which He stilled the storm. Ho was met at the shore by Jalrus, one of the rulers of the synagogue. He came In an hour of extreme anxiety, asking that his only daughter might be healed, then lying at the point of death. In token of his earnestness he knelt down before the Master, an atti tude of reverence and prayer. (Mark, 1:40.) The healing of the court olTlcial and of the servant of the centurion, there or In the Immediate neighbor hood, were sufficient to arouse the faith of tho suppliant In tho ability of tho Savior to perform this miracle. There was also this additional fact to strengthen his confidence that Jesus had several times spoken in the Caper naum synagogue, and that with the consent and even Invitation of this ruler, and His words on all occasions, had made a most favorable lmpiesslon upon those who heard. TIDINGS (Verse 35). The response of Jesus to the ruler's Invitntlon was prompt, and he set out for the house of the dying girl, followed by a great company. The episode In the xvay (Verses 2,1 to 34) gave opportunity to test and develop the faith ot Jalrus, but It does not come within the range of our present thought. As they pro ceeded, one who had hastened from the house for the purpose brought the In telligence that the daughter was dead. Tho Intention was to terminate any further effort in her behalf. The fatal hour had tome, and all w as over. There was no longer any need to trouble Jesus with the matter. It was a very natural conclusion which any person would reach under like circumstances, and the motive was kindly, viewed from any standpoint. Death is ever to be regarded as a finality. We do what we can for friends, but pause when life is extinct. large choir of children will sing some Easier hjmns at both morning and evening services and two or three good recitations will aNo lie given by some of the Sunday school seholars.

Doubtless he ex perienced a sudden shock which comes only when hope departs. Rut the power of Jesus had not been exhausted, neither had It yet been applied. Death was no serious obstacle to Him. Ho timc to bo the conqueror of death, tho giver of life. (John, xl:25.) Some about Him may have expected some new ex hibition of His power. Jnlru3 himself. rafter tho pang of the first announce ment had subsided, may have begun to cherish a new hope, a faint spaik may have kindled In his breast, prom ise that all was not lost. "With Infinite tenderness Jesus turned to the grlef strlckcn man, even before he had op portunity to speak, and said, "He not afraid, only believe." Those nssurlng words in such an hour were like a cor dial, causing the fainting to revive. WITNESSES (Verse 37). With full purpose of benevolence Jesus continued his way to the house of Jalrus. He de sired that his deed should be known, that a salutary Influence might there by bo exerted upon the minds of all, to tho nd vantage of His cause. This was not His primary motive. Confess ing the divinity of Jesus we would ex pect Him to do good unt6 unfortunate humanity, simply through the prompt ing of a loving heart. Rut It was right and proper that He should also have regard to the kingdom which He came to set up. (John, xlvtll.) Hence, on this occasion, He selected three Peter, James and John to be witnesses of what might transpire, and dismissed all otheis. (Matt., xvlltl.) These men were favored In a similar way In sev eral other Instances. They were lead ers of the three great divisions of tho church, and were therefore properly chosen. DER1SOX (verses 2 and ."0.

Here is one of the marked perullaiitles of the ancient world. Be fore Christ came death was the king of terrors. It was regarded by all classe'S as an unspeakable calamity. Little was known of future life, and that little was seldom proclaimed by public teacher.-.

Tho weeping, noisy crowd was ordered out of the apartments (Acts, )x:40). The father and mother of the girl and tho three apostles were suffered to accom pany Him, and tho six entered the chamber of death. Five sympathetic hearts wero beating with mingled emo tions of hope and faith as the door was closed, and the silence was broken by the mighty voice of Him who had called Lazarus back to the homo at Ilethany. "Talltha cuml," was all He said. The words were not Greek, the language spoken by the people, nor Hebrew, the language of Jewish rabbis, but Syrlac, destined to be a vehicle of thought In the early centuries ot tha Christian era. RESULT (verses 42 and 43). These two words, "Damsel arise," awakened the sleeper and restored tho dead. Tho Master's authority had been recog nized: His command was obeyed. Once more tho life blood coursed through tho veins. The girl arose un aided. She sat up. She left tho couch and walked.

Itlvers ells cusseel tho acutenesH of heating' In sav aRes. In this respect none of the Tor ies Straits natives were superior to ono of the Europeans composing the expedition, while the majority weie In ferior. No great weight, however, could he attached to the observations, because all the people were divers an occupation that certainly damaged the ears to some extent. To Investigate their range of hearing a Galton's whis tle was used, and it was shown that they could hear very high notes. Their sense of smell was tested by means of a series of tubes containing solutions, of varying strength, of odorous sub stances like -alerIan and camphor, and the results, while not altogether sat isfactory, tended to show they had no marked superiority in this respect over the members of the expedition. With regard to taste it was very difllcult to get Information, as the natives, na turally enough, did not like strange ob jects being put Into their mouths. Ono fact, however, wns noticed, which was interesting when it was remembered that sweet and bitter were probably our most definite taste sensations, and that was tho complete absence of any word for bitter. For the sense of tem perature the data were veiy scanty, but it was found that the natives had points on their skin specially sensitive to cold, exactly ns was the case with Europeans. As to touch, when tested to see how close the points of a pair of compasses must be put on the skin before they ceased to be felt as two, their sensitive ness was in general better than that of the members of the expedition. As to pain, there was a consensus of opin ion that savages were less sensitive than tho Euiopeans; but there was always tho doubt whether they were really able to bear pain with more for titude. However, tho conclusion that the Murray Islanders were distinctly lets sensitive than tho Europeans in the expedition was supported not only by tlvlr subjective statements, but also by object tests depending on th condition of the blood pressure. In the discrimination of weight It wns curious that these natives, who had to express it, and who, moreover, could have had no practice, were more ac curate than a practiced European, Fin ally Dr. Itlvers, while commending on the defective knowledge of some of the senses he had treated and on tho ab sence of comparative data, concluded that In general the sense organs ot the savage wero not mnrkedly supetlor to those of the normal of average European, and that tho recorded In stances of appaient extraordinary acuteness were to be explained by his habits of observation and specialized knowledge.
