ONDON', 1900," bus been a
Wilton-word for the Christian
Endeavor hosts for a long
time. The next convention
will be held In London. Ens-
land, July 15 to 20. The Pennsylvania
transportation managern have secured
the splendid steamship "Aller" of the
North German Lloyd lleet, for the ac
commodation of the delegates from
this state. The "Aller" ranks with the
St. Paul, tho St. Louis, the Lucania,
and vessels of that class, hence tho
appointments are of the very best: tho
time of the ocean voyage Is seven
days and four hours from New York
to Southampton. Already the entire
sailing list is full, only twenty-one
places are vacat.I. The managers urge
any who aie contemplating the trip
to the convention and a further tour
with the varlcus parties throughout
Europe, to secure their berths on the
steumer at once. Hcv. Robert F. Y.
Pierce, who Is expected to be one of
the speakers at the eonent!on, has
Invited Mr. Gillespie, of Philadelphia,
the chairman of the transportation
committee, to give a stereoptlcon lec
tro In the Penn Avenue rhuicli next

has recently been abroad anil arranged
for the accommodation Ol the Penn
sylvania delegutes, and he will give
an address to the Endeavors of the
city and others Interested on the con
vention and the various touts which
have been planned.
Newspapers In various parts of the
country have been commenting exten
sively upon the large number of di
vorces recently granted by the Lacka
wanna county cnurlh. The increasing
number of applications for divorce is
not so much dud to the laxity of the
coutt as to tho great number of misfit
marriages. Rev. Robert F. Y. Pierce
will preach upon this timely topic,
"Unequally Yoked Together," at the
Penn Avenue Baptist church on Sun
day evening.

Mm. Minnie Fiedler, of Mt. Pleasant,
Iowa, says :
" I was afflicted for years with St.
Vitus' dance. The first symptoms of the
disease began in 1889, when the nerves
began twitching in my left hand. I con
sulted physicians of this city, but none
of them ever did me a particle of good.
After I had suffered for two and one half
yean, the disease continuing to grow
worse, I heard of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People.
" It was in 1891 that I was induced to
try them, and I was surprised at my
rapid improvement. I took only two
boxes, and was entirely cured. It was
hard to realize that I, who for over two
years was scarcely able to walk, and who
often found it almost impossible to talk,
should be restored to perfect health and
in full possession of all of my powera by
two boxes of this wonderful remedy.
" I am happy to state that my health
is still perfect and I have never had the
slightest symptoms of a return of the
disease, although it is eight years since
I was cured. "
Dr. Williams' rink Pills for Pale People
contain, in a condensed form, all the ele
ments necessary togjve'new life and richness
to the Wood and restore shuttered nerves.
They are an unfailing specific for such dis
eases as locomotor ntnxia, partial paralysis,
St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia rheu
mutism, nervous headache, thoafter-eflecUof
la crippe, palpitation of the henrt, pale and
sallow complexions, all forms ol weakness
eituer in male or lemaie.

followers. (Verses 1(1 to 10). lie was ottr-iealo'H
in seeking souls, in our lesson he cmplojs two
methods, appealing first to tha fears and then
to the hopes of Ills hearers.
IMPENITENT. Capernaum, Dethsalda anfl
Choratln, three clues blng on the northwest
coast of the sea of tlalltee, were highly favored
during the ministry ot Jesus. In the first Ho
mado Ills home (Matthew, Iv, 12) after His re
jection at Nazareth. There He wrought many
miracles (Matthew, lll, 5) and delivered many
sermons. (Matthew, I, 21.) There He suffered
me giory oi ins character to shine forth, ami
gained fame, which endured to the end of His
career. (John, , 21.) Theme lie went forth
on missionary tours In vaiious parts of Calllee.
His reputation pretedlng His (Luke, si, 2J) and
thither He returned amid the plaudits of the
people who followed Hetlraida was the home
ot three ot tho apostles (John, 1, 41) and was
Irequcnlly tisited by our I.oid, as was (liirazln.
And jet the ptople of those communities, not
withstanding the presence and labor of such an
illustrious person, failed i appreciate Him.
Neither did they reptnt if their sins. iV'Tte 20).
In utter indlfTeicnce to merry ou"ercd and to tho
new life made pcsiMc they remained in wicked
ness. ItnrROACIir.D. Jesus did not alwajs bear a
benignant look. He did not alwajs speak in
gentle tones. There were times, not many, to
be sure, when He grew stern and when His
words were severe (Matthew, jixlll, 13), as when
He called the Pharisees lijpocrltes. There is no
indignation like that of the righteous, (ltcve
lations, ri, 10.) Alter many months had been
spent In these lake titles, teiching and laboring
for their good. Ho turned to the people with up
braiding for their hardness of heart. He de
clared that they were more obdurato than were
the heathen of Tjrc and SUIon, two great com
mercial cities on tho Mediterranean, who-o peo
ple, uunder the ministry of Kzoklel dleklel,
ixvli, 1M), six centuries before, would have re
pented in saik cloth and ashes had the old
prophet performed miracles as Christ had done.
(VerH'S 21 and 21). He also declared that in the
day of retribution these impenitent Jews will
receive a greater condemnation than the fcyro
I'hoenkians. (Verse 22.)
1'IlKDICTED. Turning net to the future,
whoso events were alwajs spread bcfoic His

be nrfsent.

Ath Street Methodist Episcopal Church Rev,
lay 6,
mind, Jesus proclaimed the laid cf tho (tty of
Ills adoption. (Verse 23.) For a moment He
recalled the opportunity of Capernaum as "ex
alted to heaven." a figure of speech cmplojcd
by Jewish poets (Isaiah, xlr, 12), covering a
thought that early possessed the minds of men.
(Genesis, xl, 4.) Tils rlty that had such ambi
tions and prides "shall lie brought down" to
destruction. What a hazardous prediction! Who
unless gifted with prescience, dare tnako it?
So had tbc old prophet warned (Samuel, 11, 1);
so Jesus altcmard, as he stood before Jerusalem,
announced Its destruction. (Luke, xlll, 33.)
Tirt titles, one in t'.e north, nnd the other in
the south, the metropolis of commerce and the
seat of religious power, both doomed because
they rceelicu not the Lord. The prediction was
fulfilled. The great and prosperous tjapernaum
came to utter ruin, and the very spot un which
it stood Is a matter of dispute. The traveler
finds only here and there some fragments to
show that It once existed. (Verse 24.)
COMMUNED. The sad spectacle o. a city has
tening to ruin is enougli to make the heart sick.
No one tan meditate long upon such a disaster.
Instinctively the mind turns away for comfort.
So was it with Jesus. From the dreary prospect
He passed to nobler contemplations. As on
other occasions, after much labor and many
conflicts. He sought communion with heaven.
(Luke, vl, 12.) As if replying to some message
that came from above. He breaks forth In
thanksglv'ng iversc U) .is He icm?imVi-i the
divii e plan of dealing with men. If the great
and worldly wise are blinded to their beat in
terests, so that the glory of righteousness does
not appear (I Cortn'hlans, 1, 19) it is never-tlHcs-
true that tho meek and simple, the uiy
babes in ...cir own estimation, may know,
(I'silm, vlli, 2.) Iteflectlng on this fact, Jesus
passed Judgment upon its wisdom in a brief
soliloquy. (Verse m.) He approved what had
been ordained; He was satisfied to have some
who thought themselves great reject Him, pro
vided that others would accept.
I'UM.ISUED. Had our Lord' words ended
with the twenty-sixth verse, some might havo
misjudged Him, supposing that He was a mere
prophet, like unto tliosn who had gone before.
Hut the twenty-seventh verse prevents any such
conclusion. In It He plainly sets forth His
nature and office. He publishes to His fellow
townsmen indeed to all the world that He is
the head and source, tho administrator of the
new covenant. All things have been delivered
to Him. (John, Hi, 3.1.) He is of such trans
cendant glory that no ono knows Him except
the Father men wilt perpetually belittle Illin.
He Is so necessary to Hie world that men may
seaich foicver and never know Hod until Jesus
reveals Him. What a timely publication vtas
thisl Just at the time when men failed to ap
preciate Him, when in their impenitence they
were hastening on in tho parth to destruction,
when He appears to he alone anil unhonored,
then the declaration came bursting out of His
consciousness that He was the very one whom

these people, and all people, need.
INVITED. There Is something exceedingly
beautiful and highly attractive In the lnex
haustlble patienco and in the unwearied, cffoik
of Jesus for men. The cities had not accepted
Him, the masses pushed on in sin regardless ot
Him. Hut He turns, after considering Clod's
plan and His own office, to offer Himself to the
few, those who were weary with sin, who vain
ly sought relief by ceremonial observances
These may be found In very community. To all
such He extends an Invitation, a two-fold Invi
tation. (Verses 23 and 2!).) First, let them
come to Him, accept His as Saviour and teach'
er and guide. Then let them put on His joke,
emblem of service anil become submissive to
1 1 tin and learn of Him. Such Invitations, eponk
en at such an hour, were proofs of egotism and
audacltj' If He were a mere man, but the ex
PessIons of tender love and solicitude it He
were divine, as the world believes.
ENCOUItAOED. Why should men come to
Jesus? How may they be persuaded to accept
His invitations? He assigns two reasons or mo
tives. (Vcrtcs 28 and 2!).) First, He ft "ineek
and lowly in heart." (Zeiharlah, Ix, 0.) He
does not seek His own glorj-, neither does He
call men that they may minister to Ills vanity
and establish His power. On the contrary He
invites that He may save and bless. (Matthew,
I, 21.) He expects to win a following beeau-e of
what Ho is. Second, He promi.es rest to those
who come, a twofold rest a rest givtn and a
rest found the first the feast of pardon (lto
mans, v, 1), the other tho peace of personal
lovaltj-. The uqulrementa of Christian disciple
ship, unlike those of the old dispensations, arc
llgh and easy (Verse 30), jlelcung sitisfaction
to lilni upon whom tliej- are laid, never to be
regarded, therefore, as burdens. What forte m
that connective "for." "Come for," come be
cause of what Christ is.-come because of what
will bo gained In coming.
SUMMARY. The divine message to man al
ways has these two elements warning against
impending danger and invitation to possible
hle-lngs (Jeremiah, xxl, 8.) Sometimes one
element seems to be obscured nernti-e of empha
sis laid cm the other, but both arc always
really present. Each Implies the other. So
there are two sides to the character and mission
of Clu 1st: Tliej' misunderstand Him who sup
pose Him to be wholly a being of love, and
that He never administers Justice. (Matthew,
xxxv, 41.) Herein the gospel makes IU true
adaptation and successful apiieal to universal
humanity; it meets tho pern and Inspires the
hope. Its two great words to be proclaimed to
the ungodly arc "woe and "come." fetaitlcd
by the iln.t and arrested In their headlong career
tnat ends in destruction, they may hear the
succt volte of the pleader who waits to be gra
cious (ltevelations, ill, 20), and, turning to Him.
tliej- may find that all His promises arc sure.
(Rilah, iv, 1.) lo every toul there is presented
an alternative suspended upon a choice.
