GILBERT, D. D. LL.D., Secretary of American Society of Religious Education. INTRODUCTION. The college ot the apostles was formed gradually. The Compels relate the manner of appointing soma ol them, while others were brought in quietly, without men tion. Tho number being complete Jesus de termined to send them forth for a short time, perhaps for a month (Luke i: 10), as mis sionaries. Several ecisldcrations may have in duced Him to do this. He might have de sired to be alone fur Divine communings, as was His custom (Matt, xiv: 23). It is moio probable that Ho sought to test them, and to prepare for fuller instruction, for, when ab sent from Mini, many questions would arise in their minds. Besides, by this method Ho in creased tho number of voices and agents In His cause, tor they went two and two (Mark, vl; 7), and He took another direction (Matt xl: 1), thin nuking seven parties engaged In evangelis tic work. Today's lesson contains previous cir cumstances of tho commission and the instruc tions given before their departure. THE MINISTRY (Verse ). The intense ac tivity of Jesus, u short time prior to His send ing of tho disciples, Is shown. He madp s per sonal visitation among the cities and villages ef Galilee, the names of the towns being omitted (Majk vl: 0), from tho record. Evidently Ho was eager to reach the great mass of the people, all ol whom needed Him. In this visitation He engaged in His double ministry. lie taught and preached, in the svjiagogucs on tho Sab bath and in other places" hercver He could ob tain an audience. His one theme was the Gos pel ol tho kingdom of heaven, the same theme upon which He discoursed at the beginning (Ma.tt. iv: 17), as bad John the RaptM before Him (Matt, iii: 2). Ho also healed diseases, and that ol every kind, thus ministering to the body as well as the soul. That two-fold service was especialy necessary at that time. Jesus must have Lccn less thin human had He paid no at tention to the sick who gathered continually about Him. THE COMPASSION (Verse 30).-Thc condition ot the people among whom Jesus moved was pitiable. As they came together in great crowds they appeared weary and faint, cast down In spirits with little animation or hope. That resulted from their poverty. The Industrial af fairs of the time gave little opportunity for the acquisition of even the necessarlrs of life. Pau perism was common (l.uko xvl: 20), Wealth was the possession ot the few, As a result the masses moved about from one person to another, from one place of excitement to another, loudly hoping that some ono vould arise to espouse their cause and to bring relief. Rut all such hope was vain. Thus far no teacher had ap peared as their shepherd, their spiritual adviser and friend. All tliU moved Jesus to compas sion. He longed to bless the forlorn masses who thus day by day ramc before Him as He preached. THE rRAYKR (Verses 37 and iS).-It was un der such circumstsnecs that Jesus sought tho assistance ol Ills disciples. He had perfect knowledge of the situation. He had gone over the ground. He had teen the people, lie (elt In Christian Character." All members ol tho Patriotic Order, Sons ol America, are Invited to be present at the evening service. Members ol camps not attending in a body are invited to seats with the brothers. MOSCOW. Memorial day was observed hero with tho usual ceremonies.

Special to tho Scranton Tribune. Waynnrt, June 1. Mis. Dclphina Tutl.lll, widow of the late George It. Te thill, died at her residence here at 0 30 o'clock Sunday morning. Mrs. luthill was in her sixtieth year and was born and hid ri sided heic continuously all her life. She was a woman of fine intellect, kind and loving. .She is survived by four son, Harry A. Tuthill, of St. Clements, Midi.; Charles I,., ol New York iltyj Uojil, of Illnghanitoii, and Eton E., of Hobokcn; also two slstcis, Mrs. l.innu and I.irzic Stone, who live, in the wist. The funeral was held at her late rcsld-ncc Tues day afternoon nt 2 o'clock, services being con ducted by the Rev. L. W. Karchucr, assisted by Rev. William Rawllngs. Tho bearers were Messrs. George Leonard, George Pciklns, S. h. Olmstead, P. V. Carr, Daniel Anniucott, Hubble Rounds. Interment was made In the family plot in Ca nam ceintcry. Edward Dojlc, jr.. and friend, Andls, of Wilkes-Barrc, passed Memorial Day with the for mer's parents here. C. O. Ellis, one of Wajmirt's prominent citi 7cn, was quietly married hero at his residence last Saturdiy night at 0 o'clock by the Itev. Wil liam Rawllngs, to Mrs. l'earcc, of Providence. The bnjs turned out en masse Monday night and reminded Chirlle of tho times when he was a boy. Hp gavo tho boys a rousing treat and they departed, wishing Mr. and Mrs. Elis many happy ears of congenial bliss. The exercises conducted by the Patriotic Or der Sons of America hoe Memorial Day were largely attended, llemy Lee, rsn,., of Hones dale, was the chief speaker. The puscntation of tho dig polo by U. G. Gruver was the chief event and shows that gentleman's generosity for the welfare of tho town. Tho pole stands seventy feet in height, being perfectly straight and ot poplar wood. that the work was urgent, fir surpassing Ills ability alone. Thcro was a demand for an in crease of workers lie knew that men are to be saved through the instrumentality of men. Rut what kind ot mm nnd how shall the be qualified His method wis the one tint ought to be followed. He asked the disciples to pray over the subject. He would have tho prompt ing and guidance of the Holy Spiiit for men who go out. The missionaries must go in the spirit, prompted by a Divine impulse (John It 0). If ever men might go without prajcr tint was the time, for Jesus, the head of the church, was there, and His word was all that was need id. Fortunately the example set on that occa sion may bo quoted foicver after. THE CALLING (Verse l).-Piobably tho ex press wisli of Jesus was granted. A day or two of prajcr may have followed. The men may have assembled to unite their petitions, or, what Is mote likely they separated caih finding some secret place whtro he might meditate upon the needs and then Implore the Lord of tho har vest to send forth men. It is probable that In our day wo lose much by many prayer meet ings and few closet meetings (Matt, vl: t). Tho sense of personal rcsponlbillry is not easily cultivated in large assemblies. Rut after the prayer, however conducted, Jesus called His dis cljilu unto Him. Each one had received a communication directing him to the mission field, and, like one of rid exclaimed, "Hero am 1; send me" (Isj. vl: S). The company of will ing ministers then ucehed their commission. Jesus authorised them (for so the word signifies) to go as His representatives and do what He had done. THK PERSONS (Verses 2 and 4). Peter and Andrew, James and John, Philip and Bartholo mew, Thomas and Matthew, James, the son of Alphcus, and Lcbbacus Thaddcus; Simon and Judas theso wcro tho honored representatives cf the Lord Jesus.

Here was the experience ot ago and tho vivacity ol youth, with various ages lying be tween, llut they were chosen men they had not como ot their own accord into this ofllce, neither had they been thrust into it by their fellow-men, but Jesus, luvlrg seen in them some qualities which might be used to His pur. pose, invited them and commissioned them.

Services In the Presbyterian church becauso they had the Sciipturcs (Rom. ill; 1), which told of Him (John v: 39). Jesus, tlieie fore, proposed to gain fioni among the Jews those who would become Ills first ministers, best able to carry forward His woik. lie was not willing now to devoto time to tho Samaritans, who were a mongrel race, a mixture of foreign- cis with a remnant ot the ten tribes (II Kings vl: St). Their religion was a compound of Judilsin and Idolatiy. True, Jesus preached theic one (John Iv: 0), but nothing was done for them afterward, so far as we know, until tnu Pentecost (Acts till: 5). Till: WORK (Verses 7 and 8). What were tho apostles to do? Five things preach the kingdom of heaven; heal tho sick; cleanse the lepers; raise tho dead; cast out tho devils. They were to do this oj they went, become itinerant not settled ministers. Their preaching treated tho same theme as that of John the Baptist and of Jesus (Matt. Ill: 1; iv; 17), the ushering in of the new dispensation, and tho propcT prepar ation for It (Mark vl: 12). In unfolding their them they doubtless intcrprctul tho prophets (Dan. 11; 41), showing that tho time and the Person expected by pious Jews had actually como (Luke rill: 20; John Iv: 0). They prob ably dwelt most on the nature of tho kingdom not an outward and temporal affair, with pomp and power, but inward and spiritual (Matt, ill: 2; John ill: 3; Rom. xiv: 17). The power which they received and exercised (.Vts i: 30), was designed to attest their commis sion und exhibit tho benevolent character of the kingdom. This work was to be done freely, without price, even as they had received the grace of Christ. They were not to be hire lings. CONCLUSION. Note theso Instructions: 1, Tho minister should go where Jesus sends him. Thcro is a right order and direction In religious efforts; there are strategic points to be taVen first (Acts xvli 0), 2. The compassion of Jesus survives all the ill-treatment He receives. Though many turned against Him, jet, like a good shepherd (John x: 11), Ho regards the wayward people as lost sheep, and send messengers to fold them (II Pet. Ill,- ft). 3. The Gospel is free. Ko man, entering the ministry, rray fit a price upon it (Acts tlt; 18), Rut he is entitled to a support, a living, as good as that of those to whom ho ministers (I Cor. ix: 11). They may take him homo and divide with him or supply a home for him. 4, The best entertainment lor a minister la in the homo of pious, not in the place of world prldo and wealth. There ho may bless and be blessed, free from criticism and ttmptatlon, S. An ur gent cause demands sacrifice. He who goes to tho poor may best go poor. Ilut woe to the rich who suffer God's ministers to want (Gal. vl: 6). There are two proper measures ol a ministers income, two extremes between which it way vibrate that pittance which he cheer fully accepts for tho Master's sake when ne cessity requires, that abundance which grateful wealth may bestow. 6.
