thOBe who coiue after us,
Tlie solloitude arises from our conscious
Insufficiency nnd unwisdom of discipline.
Out ot twenty parents there may be one

It Is 12 o'clock, it is half-pnst 13 o'clock.
Then they hear a rattling ot tho night key,
nnd George comes lu und hastens upstairs
lest he be nneosted. Ills fatbor says,
"George, whore have you been?" He says,
"I have been out." Yes, be has been out,
and he has been down, and he has started
on the broaiiroad to ruin for this life and
ruin for the life to come, and tho fattim
suys to bis 'Wile, "Mother, the Ten Com

that boy with religion; you had nosym

INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS
FOR APRIL I.
Subject! Tim Hrstltadea, Mall. Iv 8,1 to
v., It Oolden Tut. Mull, v., S
Mrmory Versa, n-f)-f oininrntury on
the liny' Lesson.
3S. "Grant multitudes." Attracted by
His great mlrceles. This even according to
the Jews was one proof of the days of thn
Messiah. "Decapolls." A country cast of
tho sea of Galilee, containing tea cities.
Thus we seo that His fame had spread,
nnd thn people were coming to Him from
all dln-cilons.
1, "Seeing the multitude." Ho was Im
pressed with their great need. "Into a
mountain." Nenr tho center of the west
roust of the sea of Galilee, a few miles
bnek from the seashore, now culled the
"Horns of Hnttln." He could be heard
mucn better In thn mnuntnln. "When Ho
was set." The usual position for teaching
among the Jews. They stood to read the
Scriptures but sat to teach. "His disci
p'.es came unto lllm. Ttier occupied a
position near to Him and the multitude
was farther owny.
'J. "Opened His moutb," The expression
marks the solemnity and importance of
the discourse. The Lord tins given us a
mouth, and we must open It and confess
the truth without fear. ' And taught them."
The moment has come when the principles
of the new covenant are to be enunciated.
8. "lllassod." Happy. The dispositions
here rucominanded are not only the way to
future blessedness, but they also imme
diately confer the truest and most noblu
happiness. "Poor in spirit." All the
beatitudes ere utilised to unlikely condi
tions,) show that the judgment ot Christ
and of the world are dllTereut. One who
Is deeply sensible of his spiritual poverty
aud wretchedness. Tho geueral oplnlou Is,
happy U the person who Is rich, and
great, and honorable In the world. The
philosophers did not reckon humility
among their moral virtues, but Christ puts
Iks first. "Theirs Is." Now, at this pres
ent time. "The klngdnn of heaven."
The kingdom of heaven aud tho
kingdom t God mean the same thing,
nnd have reference to that spiritual king
dom which Christ sets up In the hearts of
Ills children. Pan I deilnes the kingdom of
ot God ns being, "(llghteousnuss, peace
and Joy In die Holy Ghost." Horn. 14:17.
Ilut why called a kingdom? 1. Because it
lias Its laws the precepts of the Gospel.
'J. Its subjects all who believe In Jesus
Ohrlst. S. Its King tlie Hoveiclgn of
heaven nnd earth. It Is culled tliu king
dom of heaven because God desigas Uis
kingdom of grace here to resemble the
kingdom of glory above.
4. "They that mourn." Thnt Is, those
who, conscious ot their spiritual poverty,
mourn. 1. Ou neeouut of sin aud It conse
quences, a. because of having offended a
holy nud righteous God. "They shall bo
comforted." The Lord comforts hy speak
ing the words ot pardon and pencn to their
besrts. True Joy it- frequently tho Irult of
sorrow. This promise Is positive, "shall
be" comforted. Our bord In pronouncing
"the poor" and "tlie mourners" happy
does not say that a state of poverty
nud mourning is to be desired; hut they
are pronounced happy because, seeing
their spiritual poverty and mourning on
account of their sins and b irronuess ot
soul, they have the promise of thn "king
dom of heaven" and "the eo.nfoit ot tho
Holy Ghost."
5. "The meok." They who suffer in
love, or love in patience; they who, In the
strength of love, boldly yet meekly, meek,
ly yet Ouldly, bear Injustice, and thereby
conquer. When this dun composure ol
mind bus reference to God, It Is termed
"resignation;" when It Is exerted towards
men, it Is "mildness nnd gontlnneaH;" when
we consider it with regard to ourselves, wo
style It "patlenoe." The meek can be cool
wheu others are hot, and huve the rule ot
their own spirits, "inherit the earth." The
land; an expression frequently used by the
prophets to signify the laud ot Canaan.
Underfills figure our Lord promises the
nbundanco of spiritual good provided for
in the Gospel. The Cnuaau ot perfect rest
und Joy uud peace Is tho Inheritance ol
those who are truly meek.
6. "Hunger and thirst." A figurative
expression. Hunger nnd thirst are thn
strongest of bodily appetites. "After right.
eoiisuuss." The state, or quality, of being
right with God: exact rectitude; holiness,
o iinpreliendlug holy principles, and nflee
tlous ot heart, and conformity ot life to
the divine law. Righteousness here Is
tnkon for all the blessings of the New
Covennat; a fnll restoration to the Imago
of God. "Shall be filled." With right
oousness. Everything olse falls to satisfy.
God tins Himself created the desire uud tie
will satisfy the soul. Hplrltual hungering
uud thirsting Is an evidence ot spiritual
health.
7. "The morelful." The mercirul are
those who wtep over the calamities of
othors, who feed the hungry and clothe
the nuked, admonish those in error nnd
pardon the o (Tend lug. The merciful brave
ly address themselves to the wants of tho
world. "Obtain mercy." As wo deal with
others God will deal with us. Mercy is
pnrolinsud at tho price of mercy itself.
H. "Pure in heart." The heart is the scat
of the affections, the desires, tho motives,
tho will; with the pure heart these will all
bo pure. ' Tho heart Is purified by fatth.
Acts 15:9. True religion consist lu heart
purity. "See God." That Is, possss and
enjoy God. None but th j pure ure capabio
of seeing God,
9. "Tho peacemakers." Those who avoid
contention themselves, nnd labor to restore
peace wherever it Is broken. "Tliu chil
dren of God." God is tlie fathor of poacB,
and those who promote It are said to bo
His children.
10. "I'ersocutod." Those who aro pur
sued by an enemy. "Fined, Imprisoned,
banished, scourgod, tortured, always de
livered unto death aud accounted as bbeep
for the slaughter." '"For rlghl oousness
anke." Duca'.iso of right doing. "Kingdom
ot heaven." Hee on verso 8.
11. "Itevlle." To slander; "to he abusive
in speech or aot." "Falsely for My sake."
It must not only bo raise, but "for His
sake;" because we are Christians and are
bringing forth fruit unto holiness.
la. "Hejolce." F.ven rovllers contribute
to our bldsseduess. To bn persecuted for
Christ's sake Is to be orowued. Itnv. !i:10.
"lie exonedlng glnd." Leap for Joy. Tuere
are cases ou record where this has literally
been done, "The prophets." We are to
have au Inheritance with the prophets.
Persecution has been tho portion and thn
proot of the most eminent saints lu all
ages.
TKACitiNns. When Jesus opens nis mouth
we should open our hearts. Jesus Christ
never saved a soul that He did not govern;
nor Is He preclous,to any person who does
not feel a subjection to thj) Divine will.

consecration ot a cemetery In England.
The town was Stow Market, a place
of about G.000 Inhabitants, In Uuflolk
county. The district council ot the town
met to decide upon what parts of the
burying ground should be consecrated,
and, es no agreement could he reached,
W. C. Ransom, ono of the councilors,
met (he chairman at the cemetery and
with him fllppod a penny. Ransom
won and chose a strip at the left side
ot the ground to be consecrated. The
two parties to the flip reported the re
sult of the choice to the council, but
the rest of that honorable body re
fused to accept this means ot arriving
at h decision. In the meantime the
church authorities made up their
minds to apply to the court for a
mandamus to compel the rite of conse
cration to be carried out decently and
