J ti i t n in are houses whose names nre inter
twined with the history of their respective
nations symbolic of imperial authority.
liut I preach of a family more potential,
more rich nnd more extensive the royal
house of Jesus, of whom the whole family
m heaven and on earth is namenl. Ve arc
blood relations by the relationship of the
cross; ull of u.i are the children of the
King.
First, 1 sneak of our family name. When
we see a descendant m some one greatly
celebrated in the last century, we look at
him with profound interest. To have had
conquerors, kings or princes in (lie ances
tral line gives lustre to the family name.
In our line win n King ami ( 'oiupiernr.
The Mar in the Kant with baton ot light
woke up the eternal orchestra that made
music at Ilia birth. Irom thence He
started forth to conquer all nations, not
by trampling them down, but by lifting
them up. SI. John saw Him on a white
horse. When 11c returns He will not
bring the nations chained to His wheel or
in iron cages, but 1 hear the stroke of the
hoofs of the snow-white cavalcade that
brings them (o the galea in triumph.
Our family name takes lustre Irom the
ntar that heralded Him, nnd the spear that
pierced Him, and the crown that was
given Him. It gathers fragrance from the
frankincense drought to His cradle, nnd
the lilies that Hung their sweetness into
His sermons, and the box of alabaster thai
broke nt His feet. The ( 'oinlnrter at
Jlcthany. The ltetuincctor at Xnin. The
supernatural Oculist at ltethsaiila. The
Saviour of one world, and the chief joy ol
another. The storm His frown. The sun
light His smile. The spring morning His
breath. The earthquake the stamp of llis
loot. The thunder the whisper of llis
voice. The ocean a drop 011 the tip of His
linger. Heaven u t,parklc on the bosom
of His love. Eternity the twinkling of
Hia eye. The universe the (lying dust of
His chariot wheels. Able to heal n heart
break or hush n tempest, or drown a
world, or flood immensity with His glory.
What other family name could ever boast
of such an illustrious personage?
Henceforth, swing out the coat of arms!
(ireat famines wear their coat of arms on
the dress, or on the door of the coach, or
on the helmet whin they go out to battle,
or on Hags and ensigns. The heraldic
sign is sometimes a lion, or a dragon, or
nu eagle. Our coat of arms worn righli
over the heart hereafter shall be u cros,
a lamb standing under it, and n
dove Hying over it. Grandest of all es
cutcheons! Most signitic.int of all family
escutcheons! in every battle I must huvu
it blazing on my flag the dove, the cross,
the lamb, and when 1 fall, wrap me in
that good old Christian flag, so that the
family coat of nrms shall be right over
my breast, that all the world may sec that
1 looked to the Dove of the Spirit nnd
clung to the Cross, and depended upon
the Lamb of (iod, which taketli uwny the
sin of the world.
Ashamed of Jesus, that dear friend,
On whom my hopes of life depend;
No! When I blush, be this my shame
That I no more revere Ilia name.
Next, 1 speak of the family sorrows. Tf
tyouhlc come to one member of the family
ull feel it. It is the custom, utter the
body is lowered into the grave, for nil the
relatives to come to the verge of the grave
and look down into -it. First those near
est the departed come, then those next of
kin, until they have all looked into the
grave. So, when trouble and grief go
down through the heart of one member
of the family, they go down through
them all. The sadness of one is the sad
ness of all. A company of persons join
hands around nn electric battery; the
two persons at the ends of the line touch
the battery and all the circle feels the
shock. Thus, by reason of the filial, ma
ternal nnd patciiial relations of life, we
ntuiid so clone together that when trouble
acts its battery, all feel the thrill of din
tress, in the great Christian family the
sorrow of one ought to be the sorrow of
all. Is one persecuted? All lire perse,
euted. Does one sillier loss? We all uf
fer loss, la one bereaved? We are ull be
reaved. Their streaming eyes together flow
For human guilt and mortal woe.
Jf you rejoice at another's misfortune,
you ure not one of the sheep, but one ol
the goats, and the vulture of sin hath
alighted on your soul, and : it the Dove
of the Spirit.
Next, 1 notice the family property. Af
ter n man of large c.itate dies the rclutive
assemble to hear the will read. So much
of the property is willed' to his sons, and
no much to his daughters, and to much to
benevolent (societies. Our Lord Jesus huih
died, and we are assembled to-day to hear
the will read. He says, ".My peace I give
unto you." Through llis apostle He says,
"All things nre yours." What, everything?
Yes, everything! This world nnd the
next! lit distinguished families there nre
old pictures hanging on the wall. They
are culled the "heirlooms" of the estate. ,
They nre very old, und have coiuc d'own
frofn generation to generation. So I look
upon ajl tli? beaut jf of the natural world
ns tlie heirlooms of our royal family. Ihj
morning breaks from the cast. Tie mists
travel up, hill nbovc hill, Hio3iitain above
mountain, until sky lost. The forests ivro,
full of chirp, unit buzz, and f onj. . .Tree s
leaf und bird's wing flutter with gladness.'
Houcyniakei'M in the log, nnd beak against
the bark, and squirrels chattering on the
rail, and the call of the hawk out of a
clear sky make you feel glad. 1
The sun, which kindles conflagrations
among the castles of cloud nud seta mina
ret and dome iilhime, stoops to paint the
lily white, and tlje buttercup yellow, nnd
the lorgetmeiiot blue. What can resist,
the sun? Eight for the voyager over the.
deep! Light for the shepherd guarding'
the flocks tttield! Light lor the poor who,
have nn lamps to Linn! Light for the
downcust und the lowly! Light fur ach
ing eyes and burning brain and wasted

childhood und for the dim vision of the
octogenarian! Light for queen's coronet
and for sewing girl's needle! Let there bo
light! Whoso morning is this? My morn
ing. Your morning. Our Father gavo us
the picture nnd hung it on the sky in loops
of fire. It is tho heirloom of our family.
And so the night. It is the full mooii.
The mists from r hino to shore gleam like
shuttered mirrors, und tho ocean under
her glance conies up with great tides,
panting upon tho beach, mingling, ns it
were, foam and fire. The poor man
blesses (iod for throwing such a cheap
light thruuiru the broken window puno
into his cubin, nnd to the sick it seems a
light from the other shore which bounds

ture of the night? It ia the heirloom ot
our family. Ours the grandeur of the
spring, the crystals ,f the mow. the coral
of the beach, the nilnrs of the garden, the
harmonics of the air.
You cannot see n large estate in one
morning. You must take several walks
around it. The family property of this
royal house of Jesus is to Great that we
must take several wiim' ti'pst H"Y iJr
of its extent. lt the first walk be
around this enrth. All these valleva, the
harvests that wave in them, nnd the cat
tie thut pasture them all these mount
ains, and the precious things hidden lie
neatli them, and the crown of glacier they
cast at the feet of the alpine hurricane
all these lakes, these islands, these conti
nents, are ours, in the second walk go
among the street lamps of heaven, nud
nee stretching off on everv side n wilder
ness of worlds. For us tVy shine. For
us they sang at n Saviour's nativity. For
us thev will wheel into line, and with
their llnniing ton lies mid to tlie splendor
of our triumph on the day for which nil
other days were mnde. In'the third walk,
go around the eternal city. As we come
near it, hark to the rusli of its chariots
and the wedding peal of its great towers.
The bell of heaven has struck 12. It is
high noon. We look off unon the chap
lets whn h never fade, the eyes that never
weep, the temples that never close, (he
loved out that never part, the procession
that never Iwlts, the trees that m ver
wither, the walls that never can be cap
tured, the sun that never sets, until we
can no longer gaze, nud wc hide our eyes
nnd exclaim: "Eye hath not seen, nor cai
heard, neither have entered into the hrart
of man. the things v Inch I iod hath pre
pared for them thut love Him!" As there
tides of glory rise we have to retreat nnd
hold fast lest we be swept oil ami drowned
in the emotions ol gladness nnd thanksgiv
ing and triumph.
Almost every family looks back to n
homestead some country place where
you grew up. You sat on the doorsill
You heard the luotsteps of the rain on
the garret roof, inn swung on the gate.
You ransacked the barn. You wailed into
the brook. You thrashed the orchard foi
apples, and the neighboring woods I'm
mils, and everything around the old
homestead is of interest to you. I tell you
ol the old homestead 01 eternity. "In
M y Kilt Iter's house arc many mansions."
When we talk of mansions we think ol
t 'hatsworth and its park, nine miles in
circumference, and its conservatory that
astonishes the world; its galUries of art
that contain the triumphs ot ( hantrey

must be, for the llible says that "(joe

no tears there, how could He wipe their
away? They cannot be tears of grief ot
tears of disappointment. They must be
tears of gladness. Christ will come aim
say: "What! Child of heaven, is it toe

under the gladness of this reunion? Then
I will help thee." And, with His one urn

S Memory Vorart, S-0 Commentary
on the l.ay'a I.eaaon.
1. "The Lord appointed." This np.
poititiner.t wna temporary nnd not lierma
nent like the appointment of the twelve
apostles. "Seventy others." ( V) The
twelve apostle- ,nd been commissioned
and sent out about a year before tins. As
the number of the npostles had reference
to the number of the tribea of Israel, so
he seventy disciplea sent out call to mind
tirr number of the elders who were chosen
J assist Moses in governing the people.
And sent them.' The chief purpose of
this sending was not to train these messen
gers for a later independent mission, but
it was n new attempt to influence to deci
sion nt least a part of the people-, and bv
word and deed to prepare the roming of
the kingdom f (iod in the midst of them.
two and two. The same mnnner in
which He sent out the apostles. This wns
done. 1. lo teach them the necessity of
concord among the ministers of righteous
ness. 2. That in the mouth of two wit
nesses evel'V thilnr miul.t Ka .i.kl;.I..J
3. That they might comfort nnd support
I each other in their difficult labor ''He
J fore His face." They were to visit tliosn
cities nnd places that He intended soon to
visit. It was an important mission. Christ
was about to make one tinul effort to reach
the eommon people. As John the Haptist
bad. at the lust, heralded the coining of
Christ, so now two heralds appeared to
announce His advent, at the close of Hia
ministry.
'1. " Therefore said lie unto them." The
instruct ions given them were distinct from
and yet similar to the instructions given
the twelve apostles. The twelve had grent
er authority to work miracles, and they
were to receive persecutions which are
not mentioned with reference to the sev
enty. "The hnrvept truly is great." The
harvest is plenteous, the grain is ripe nud
spoiling mid must be garnered immediately
or it will be lost. There Has need for sucli
a mission, as the district in l'eren had been
little visited bv Jesus. There were multi
tudes who had not yet heard of the coin
ing of "the kingdom of (iod." Y. U. "Tho
laborers are lew." True workers have nl
ways been hard to find. This is the great
est calling in the world, and vet there nre
so few who nre renily to make the small,
temporary self-denial that is nece-ssarv in
order to see ntcccss in Christian work.
"I'rny ye therefore." They must set out
with prayer, nnd have n deep concern for
precious souls. "Send forth. True labor
ers must receive their commission from
(iod. "Laborers." Ken I workers. If souls
are brought to (iod to-dny it will take ear
nest, persevering effort on the part of llis
people.
3. "As Iambs nmong wolves." This wns
n rtiiwipi- nav III HHI Ml H gC SeVCIIlV UICH
just starting out to preach, but they had
faith and knew that when Christ' sent
them they were sale even among their ene
mies. 4. "Carry neither purse." etc. Trust
Ood for your support. "Salute no man."
Kustt-m salutations ure elaborate and cer
emonious. This would take a great ileal of
time, nnd their mission was urgent. 1.
They hud their particular places assigned
them, nnd they must deliver their mes
sage without needles ceremonies. 2. They
must go ns trieii of business.
5. "I'eace be to this house." l'cace
among the Hebrews had n very extensive
menniug; it compri lu-uiled nil blessings,
spiritual and temporal. To wish peace to
n family, in the nut ind by the authority
of Christ, was in eli'ect a promise of id',
the good implied in tlie wish. This was
paying in advance.
ti. "If the son of peace." Any truly
pious man who is worthy of such a bless
ing. The disciples were to coinmimicate
their message of peace to all whether wor
thy or not. and if it falls on inattentive
ears or stubborn hearts, yet it shall not be
fruitless, since the duty performed shall
bring pence to themselves "it shall turn
to you again."
7. "In-the same house remain." Their
stay was to be short. Thev were not to
choose the best places and neglect the
poor, and were not to spend time going
from house to house in search of la tter nc
ceiinmodutioiis. "Is worthy of his hire."
The one who really labors is worthy of
being aupported, but drones need not ex
pect the workers to feed them very long.
8. "As are set before you." l'robahly
Christ here refers to the traditions of the
elders about their meat. They were ex
tremely critical, und a dish of meat could
liurdly be set before them but there was
some scruple concerning it. Christ would
not liiive them regard those things, but
cat what was set la-fore theiu.
9. "Ileal the sick." Their mission was
twofold. 1. They were to gain the atten
tion of the people by healing their bodies.
"Say unto them." 2. The important part
of their work was to preach the gospel of
the kingdom.
It), "lieeeive you not." Do not receive
you kindly nnd accept your message. "Juto
the streets." The most public place. lx-t
every one see the result of rejecting tho
truths concerning the kingdom of (ioil.
11. "We do wipe off against you." The
.Tews conside-red themselves defiled with
the dust of heathen countries, and the ne
tion here enjoined siguilied thut these
Jews were holy no longer; it was. in reali
ty, placing them on a level with the heath
en. "He ye sure." The message was
again to be repeated, if, perchance, somu
might hear ut tlie last moment.
17. "With joy." Thev hud succeeded.
"Devils nre subject." Their couiniissioii
did not reach this fur; they went merely
commanded to heal the sick, but, gaining
confidence ns they went forth, tln-y had
commanded the devils, and they had
obeyed. "Through Thy name." Here was
the secret ot their power and success.
18. "1 beheld Satan-fall." In this brief
speech Ho sums up the whole gri-at eon
tliit with and elefent of the power of evil.
Ho refers to the original fall of Satan,
which had been proceeding ever siiue. step
by step, nnd should continue until nil
things were put under the feet of Jesus.
Tlie fall was both very sudden und very
apparent. Thus should be the fall of the
corrupt Jewish state, nnd of idolatry in
the (ientile world.
10. "1 give until you power." Authority.
(H. V.) And this forbids our taking the
words in a literal sense. It is possible that
by serpents our Lord mentis the scribes
and l'liarisces, whom Ho calls serpents.
Matt. 23:33. l!y treading on such would
signify a complete victory over them.
2(1. "Names are written." Do not re
joice in anything which you may be able
to accomplish, for this might lend to self
seeking and pride, but rejuice rather that
you ure heirs of God.

At th!a fe-aon of the year one Is
reminded of the? annual content waned
ngalnat (trowlns vegetation to preserve)
railway tracks in clean condition. Kb
pevlally Ir thin true of the dlrt-hil-lasted
tracks In the western etatea,
where the expense entailed In keeping
vegetation down by grubbing with a
shovel Is a formidable figure, com
pared with the expense of tho sam
work where tracks are ballasted with
a good quality of gravel. For many
years western roada havo resorted tc
numerous experiments for killing veg
etation, with marhinery, the moot
successful of which has been the
scheme of subjecting it to scorching
heat produced- by burning crude pe
troleum under a shield carried a few
Inches above the track. Machines of
this description are used on the Chi
cago, Milwaukee St. Paul; Atchi
son, Topeka & Santa Fe and Chicago
Great Western roads. In the construe
tion of this weed burner use ia made
of an ordinary flat car, on tho front
end of which (as It runs In service) Is
mounted an upright th!rty-horse-pow-er
boiler and a pair of engines. By
means of sprocket chain connection
between the engine shaft and car axle
the car Is made self-propelling. After
r.onte experience It was found neces
sary to connect the- second axle of the
truck with the flrnt. or thnt driven by
the engine, by means of a sprocket
chain. In order to overcome slipping
duo to the lopping of long weeds ovtr
the rails. Dy this means of locomo
tion a speed of from ten to twelve
miles per hour Is easily made, as
when running for Ftations to meet
passing trnlnn. The water supply for
the boiler and for extinguishing fires,
which may be set accidentally, is car
ried In a wooden tank In the center
of the car. On top of this tank there
are two air reservoirs, and inside of
tho forward cab there aro two nlr
pumps for creating the air pressure
nece-enary to spray the oil Into the
burners. The burner rigging Is sus
pended from a rear platform, built
upon four T-ralls. Tho shield anil
burners nre hung from the outer end
of this platform upon bell cranks, and
an old reverse lever and quadrant are
used, to adjust the burners to the de
sired height from tho rnll. The burn
ers are easily taken down when It Is
desired to couplo the! car In with a
train. The oil tank for supplying oil
to the burners Is located Insldo the
rear cab or Just in rear of tbe water
tank.

The first silver wedding dates back
to tho time of Hugh Capet of France.
Two servants had grown nray In his
service), a man and a woman, ar.d what
could he give them as a reward? Call
ing tho woman, ho raid: "Your service
ia great, greater than this man's,
whoso service Is great enourjh, for tho
woman nlvays finds work harder than
a ninn, and, therefore, I will give you
c reward. At your age, I know of nono
better than a dowry and a husband.
Tho dowry Is here U1I3 farm from
this tlnio forth belongs to you. If this
man, who has worked with you five
and twenty years, is willing to marry
you, then the husband lo ready."
"Your majesty," cald tho old servant,
"how is it possible that we should
marry, having already silver hairs?"
"Then it shall bo a silver wedding,"
and tho king gavo the couple silver
enough to keep them In plenty. Thi3
soon became known all over France,
and it becamo a fashion after twenty
five years of married life to celebrats
a silver wedding.

Some time ago we told of a man
who accidentally caught a tiger with
a hook and Hue, and now wo have tu
tell of a man who purposely caught a
grouse In the sume way. lie had been
hunting all the afteruoon without suc
cess, and, becoming disgusted at the
poor luck, put away his gun nnd
started out in tho afternoon with fish
ing tacklo. While Halting he saw a
grouse in the grass on the bank of the
Btream, and, baiting his book with a
grasshopper, made a cast to the bird.
Like a llsh, tho grouse swallowed tho
bait, hook and all, and started to fly
off. nut ho was held fast and the
fisher bagged his queer gamo. Atlan-

You will never find our Doc
tor out. He is here to give
advice without charge to those
who need him to those who
don't, sometimes. He doesn't
always recommend the Ayei
medicines, because the Ayet
medicines are not "cure-alls."
Perhaps if we tear a leal
from his correspondence it will
show you what we mean. Here
is a letter which came last
March.
"Dkar d. Aym 1
I want your advice for my little boy,
lie ia getting very Ihin. lie haa no appe.
tite. He ia fifteen year. old. When h
was four yearn old he had lung fere r, but
hit health waa good until two year ago
Since then he Is failing faM. The doctors
here say he has the bronchitis. lie spits
all the time awful bad. The spits are big,
thick, and white. Yours tnilv,
Mrs. Maruasit MunrtiY,
,March 30, 1900. Kinbrae, Minn."
And this is the way the Doc
tor answered Mrs. Murphy:
"Dsar Madam:
" We enclose our bock cn The Throat
and Lungs, in which we trust you will find
just the information you desiie.
" You should begin at once the use of
this Cherry Pectoral for your son, giving
it in moderate doses. Then procure some
good preparation of cod-liver oil, ai
Scott's Kniulsinn, and give him that, a
well, ray particular attention to his diet,
giving hint such nourishing foods as rare
Meak, lamb chops j:ood milk, eggs, etc.
Above oil, keep him out of doors all that
the weather permits. There is nothing
that will do him more goud than plenty of
fiesh air. Let him live out of doors all
lhat is possible, py carrying out these
general sugKestior.s we fliall hope to hear
soon that your son is imnrovinn in everv
I way. Very truly youts,
April 5, 1000. J. c. Aver."
You see, it wasn't only the
Aycr medicines that we recom
mended. The first idea of the
Doctor was to cure that boy.
The result is told in this letter:
"Dear Dr. Avrr, :
' My littlo boy has improved ao much
since I received your advice that I want to
write and tell you how thankful I am.
"When I first wrote you, on March
o, he only weighed 50 po-inds, but now
ho weighs S2 pounds; and all this gain
since the 8th of April, when I first began
U follow your directions.
" Please let me thank you again for what
yon have done for my boy.
July 17, i'x. Margaret MuRntY."
Perhaps it was the cod
Hvcr oil; perhaps it was the
Cherry Pectoral. Probably it
was both. I5ut, more than
cither, it was the good,' sound
iidvicc the Doctor gave in the
first place. We are here to
serve you in just the same way, '
and we will tell you the medi
cine for your case or tell you
what medicines to avoid.
Five out of ten of our cor
respondents need a doctor
rather than a prepared medi
cine, and we tell them so. If
the doctors only knew it, we
are working with them every
day.

He thinks he lives, but he's a dead
one. No person is really alive whose
liver is dead. During the winter
most people spend nearly all their time
in warm, stuffy houses or offices or
workshops. Many don't get as much
exercise as they ought, and everybody
knows that people gain weight in
winter. As a rule it is not sound
weight, but means a lot of flabby fat
and useless, rotting matter staying in
the body when it ought to have been
driven out. But the liver was over
burdened, deadened stopped , work. There
you are, with a dead hver, and spring is the
