What It Means.
The writer has been taking Into ac
count the meaning of one-half cent per
day, from the members of the Metho
dist church In this country to the
missionary fund, nnd the amount is a
surprise. With our present member
ship, one-half cent per day from each
member, for one year would total $527,
717, almost double the sum now con
tributed from all sources. For some
years past we have hardly been equal
ing one-quarter of a cent per day.
Surely our people can be made to see
and feel their duty In this matter, so
that "all the tithes may bo brought
Into the storehouse The difficulty at
present is not so much with those who
give as it Is with the many who con
tribute nothing. On all our circuits
the majority of our members and ad
herents are not among the patrons of
the Missionary society. The demand of
the hour Is, that a more vigorous and
systematic campaign musf be entered
upon in the name of the appealing mil
lions for whom Christ has died. One
cent per day would bring Into the treas
ury twice the amount above stated.
Why not begin a campaign on the half
cent basis? The result would be an
immense increase ove.r present returns.
All our friends of the cause, let us
arouse ourselves, and in the name of
the Lord seek to make this advance..
Jt can be done, and it ought to be done.
-R. J. Elliott, in Guardian.
Headquarters of Universal Method
ism. Ro.bert William Perks, M. P., of Lon
don, treasurer of the Methodist mil
lion guinea fund, has announced that
the Methodists have secured the Royal
Aquarium theatre property, facing
Westminster abbey, on which they
'would build" a" great hall 'which is to
be called the "Central Headquarters of
Universal Methodism." The price paid
Was $330,000. The ground comprises
two and one-half acres, and on it also
stands Mrs. Langtry's Imperial thea
ter. It is probable that some arrangement
Will be made by which the Imperial
theatre will remain where It is, though
It may be transformed Into an annex of
the church house, the building of
Which is expected to commence early
In 1903. Since it was opened In 1876,
the Aquarium has been a famous place
f amusement for Londoners.

SUNDAY-SCHOOL
LESSON FOR JULY 2?
WORSHIPING THB GOLDEN CALF
Ex. xxli, 1-6:30-35.
BY REV, J. K. GILBERT, D. D.
Smittry of Amerlcin Society of liellcloue
Sducttlon.
CONTEXT, Tho Ton Commandments,
treated In our last lesson, wuro dellvored
by tho voice of God. Tho form of tho
revolution was more than tho people
could bear, and they prayed Moses that
he would speak to them In the place of
God. Ho therefore drew near to tho
thick darkness where God was, while tha
peoplo Btood ufur off, And ho received n,
series of precepts, as a practical Inter
pretation of tho Decalogue. Part of these
wero civil, pertaining to tho various rela
tions of life, nnd part of them covered
sacred things. Punishments wero fixed
for offenses, and Instructions wero deliv
ered concerning tho ark, the mercy scat,
the golden candlestick, tho tahernaclo,
the altur. the priests and their garments,
the sacrifices and ceremonies, All this
was written down by Moses, and tho ten
laws were graven In stono by tho llngar
of God, Forty days and forty nights
wero thus passed In tho mountains. (Ex
odus, xxlv, 18.)
DIBCONTENT.-At length tho people
giew weary und restless, The monotony
of camp life led to suspicions mid whis
perings. They could not understand tho
long delay, and lost confidence lu Moses
as a leader. Not knowing when ho would
return (Matthew, xxlv, ), they mur
mured as they had done before (Exodus,
xlv, 11) because he had Induced them to
leave Egypt. But, knowing their desti
nation to be the land of their fathers
(Exodus, ill, 17). and desiring to be mov
ing toward It, they determined on anoth
er leadeishlp. Thoroughly Imbued, how
ever, with the religious spirit, they did
not think of departing In tholr own
strength, nor yet did they propose to
elect a human captain. And no, after
holding a public assembly to consider ttva
subject, they demanded of Aaron. Moses'
brother, that gods should be made to go
before them. In this they proposed to
break two of tho Commands Just deliv
ered, (Exodus, xx, 3-4.) They showed
how unnblo they were to hold to tho high
Idenl of n monotheistic system, nnd sub
ject themselves to a supremo test, (Acts,
xlx, l.)
s-
WEAtCNESS.-Anron was lint the man
for tho occasion, lie did lint possess tho
nittlvo strength of his brother, to whom
he was only nn assistant (Exodus, IV, 14),
neither had ho received such direct com
munications from God ns Moses hnd (Ex
odus, III, 4) to confirm his faith, Wo
cuntiot Judgo his motive, whether ho was
timid or iinbollevlng ho seems after
ward to lutvo been Irresnlulu and super
stitious. (Exodus, xxxlll, 21-21.) Yield
ing to tho popular clamor, ho directed
tho earrings to bo brought to him from
tho entlro assembly, These ornaments
hnd been obtained from the Egyptians
(Exodus, xll, 3.1-36), nnd wero murks of
honor. (Ezoklcl, xvl, 1112). Tho orlen
tnllsts were accustomed to wenr Jewelry
(Genesis, xxlv, 22-17), nnd sometimes tho
quantity was very, great. (Judges, vlll,
24-27.) The people cheerfully compiled
with this request, und gnvo up their most
prorlous things, stripping themselves of
ornaments, that Idols might bu made for
them. Tho spirit of sclf-dcnlal was nd
mlruhlc. IDOLATRY.-Tho peoplo having thus
consecrated their treasure, the way was
open to speedy national nposlusy. Tho
graving tools, mndo for another purpose
(Exodus, xxvlll, 9) wero used to enrvo
out the form of n cnlf, tho cmblom of
Osiris, one of tho national divinities of
Egypt. This figure, probably of wood,
wna covered with the molten gold of tho
earrings. When the workmen hnd com
pleted their tnsk, Anron caused the calf
to bo set up on the plain, nnd an nltar
erected before It. Then camo the public
proclamation, "Theso bo thy gods," and
on one of the feast days, set apart for
dlvlno worship, solemn rites were offered
to tho new god, This done, with seem
ing satisfaction tho peoplo arose to en
gage In sports, after heathen custom.
Thus Israel had enst off Jehovah and
returned to tho god of Egypt. Flvn cen
turies after, the worship of the calf was
again established by Jerelionm (t Kings,
xll, 28), which sin wns denounced by tho
prophets flfoscn, vlll, ii-6), nnd frequent
allusions to It entered into sacred litera
ture. (Isnlah, xl, 1S-20; Acts, xvll, 29.)
DISCOVERED.-Whllo all tills was
transpiring, Moses, "the man of God,"
(Deuteronomy, xxxlll, 1) was In tho
mount, neither eating nor drinking (Ex
odus, xxxlv, 2S), receiving dlvlno instruc
tion for Israel's future One man alono
for God, millions nrrnyed against Him!
The structure of theocracy being bullded,
nnd nt the same time demolished! In tho
heights, faith! In the low grounds, un
belief! Thu Interview between Moses und
bis Instructor was cut short by Intelli
gence from the latter that tho peopla
had gone nstray. (Verses 7-S.) Tho all
scelng oye, that penetrates Into tho re
motest corner and beholds tho minutest
net (Proverbs, xv, 3), had witnessed
Idolatrous Israel's wickedness through
the days of complaint, of consultation,
of construction and of formal worship.
What a spectacle spread out before tho
searching gaze of h beneficent God!
Man's sins frustrate God's plan. (Isaiah,
Ilx, 2.) How tho weary centuries have
waited for' men to comprehend their
privilege and co-operate with God! (Luke,
xlx, 42.) "Go, get theo down," was tho
Lord's direction to Moses. Nothing more
.can bo dono In the mountain, no more
laws or Institutions can bo set forth, un
til this abomination Is removed from tho
plain.
CONDEMNED. Tha lesson committee
omits Verses 9 to 29, which tho student
should read. Tho Intercession of Moses
for his people, his descent from the
mountain, his destruction of the calf, his
complnint ncalnst Aaron, his slaughter
of three thousand offenders, his recon
secratlon of the Levlles, that he might
bo assured of faithful ministers nil this
shows how ono man, loyal to God, la
mighty In a. good cause, what heroic
deeds ore required In an hour of peril.
When all this was done Moses spoko to
tho people. (Verse 30.) Ho camo to them
ns a man sent from God (John. I, 6),
jealous of His honor. Ho charged them
with their sin. Thero was no word of
apology or of doubtful Import. It was a
direct, clear-cut message, "Ye havo
sinned a great sin." sent home to their
consciences. (Isaiah, lxlll, 1.) It was
Just such a message ns overy minister
will deliver If ho Is anxious to save men
from their transgressions. But Moses
did not leave tho people trembling under
tho senso of ill-desert. Ho sought, not
simply to condemn and convict, but to
reclaim nnd restore. Grateful, Indeed,
must lmvo been his proffer of Interces
sion. "I will go up unto the Lord; per
ndventure I shall make, nn atonement
for your sin."
PRAYER. Isiael lay In their camps on
tho plains, while Moses again sought tho
mountain top. Their hopes now cen
tered In him ns nn Intercessor. Thoro
wero two courses by which tho Almighty
might accomplish His plan by mercy
and by justice. Ho had proposed the
latter (Exodus, 10), offering to destroy
Israel, as Ho had destroyed tho nnto
dlluvlan world, und to mnko Moses him
self, as Ho had nuido Noah, tho pro
genitor of a now ince, Little did tho
ldolators know that tho sword of dlvlno
justice was already drawn for their de
struction. Moses went up Into the moun
tain to stuy the avenging hand and su
curo mercy. It wis a desperate case.
Ho confessed beforo tho Lord that tho
people had sinned (Verso 31), and then
lie threw his own life prostrate before
God ns a ransom that Israel might live.
It was a reniarknblo sclf-sncritlco upon
the alflir for n nation's Bake, "If thou
wilt not forgive, blot mo, I pray Thee,
out of Thy hook," (Verso 31.) That wns
Chrlst-llko und dlvlno, (I John, l, 1.)
It Ih tho most marvelous display of
vIcarlousuesH to bo found in tho Old
Testament. It marks this man as wor
thy to bo leader and law-glvor of tho
peoplo of God,
ANSWER, Such a prayer could not bo
rejected. The ground for answer is lu
tho nature of God und of man, To turn
asldo such a lender would send conster
nation among all Intelligences und dis
turb tho spiritual equilibrium of the uni
verse, (I John, I, 9.) The details of tho
nnswer nro oxccedlngly Interesting.
"Wliosouvor hath Binned him wilt 1 blot
out of my book." Tho guilty shall suffer
no others. Some of tho multitude, wero
not greatly at fault. They had yielded
to the suggestions nud Inliiicneo of oth
ers nnd might bo forsiven. Tho trans
gresiors, the rebels against God und
Moses, shall be cut off not Immediately
destroyed, but east out of covenant rn
latloii, Suffered to live, thoy will 'form
no part of God's people. (Matthnw, jclll,
28-30.) Then followed tho direction to
lend tills mixed company, part of It no
cepled and part of It rejected, on to tho
land of their destiny, With tho promlsn
that Ills nngo should go beforo and show
the wny, (Exodus, xxxlll, 2.)
REMEMBERED.-The mercy of (lod
on that occasion secured, not nbsolutu
pardon, but postponement of punishment.
It was expressly told to Moses that tills
slu would bo remembered, and that God
would chastlso tho people for It. This
wns not n display of vlndlctlvoness. The
whole nation was sunken so low In in
telligence, they had been so lung lu
bondage, they had so constantly wit
nessed heathen rites that idolatrous
practices wore suited to their nature.
(Exodus, xxxll, 9.) They needed to bo
corrected by tho visitations of fhe Al
mighty (Hebrews, xll, 9), to be remind
ed of His presence and power, ns well
as their sin und weakness. Affliction af
ter uflllctlon was sent upon thorn dur
ing many generations, partly penal but
always reformatory (Psalms, cxlx, 67)
that they might turn away from Idols to
serv6 the living and true God, Ths rcc-J
