Again, the church in -niy text is appro

thoroughly irrigated. No gulden could
prosper long without plenty ol water.

a garden. Many of you have tiled the
garden of this world's ih-light. You havu
tiiiind it has been a chagrin. So it was
with Theodore Hook. He made ail the
world laugh. He makes in laugh now
when rcud his poeins, but he could
not make his own heart laugh. While ill
the mid.it of his festivities lie confronted
a looking glass, and he saw liiniselt mid

as I am, done up in body, mind and
purse." So it was of Shenstone, of whose

senium. He sat down amid ihovc bowels
and said: "1 have lost my road to hap

Some years ago a vessel struck on tho

that lifeboat the passengers anil crew

shall I do to inherit eternal life?" Tho
iincstioii is highly important. Kternal ble
is the true spiritual life of the mill that
which is natural to it in its highest state,
and of all things in this world is mini wor
thy the seeking. His question was, llow
can 1 become n child of Cod nnd a pos
sessor of that true spiritual' lifu that will
endure forever?
'Jti. "What is written." As a teacher of
the law lie should be able to tell, nnd He
was able, ns His answer shows. "How
readest Thou." What wc gain from the
Jlihle depends upon how we rend it.
27. "lie answering said." He replied
by punting the great summary of man's
fluty toward (iotl in Deuteronomy H: 5,
and n statement of the law ot love from
Leviticus 19: IK. "Thou shall love." The
religion of the Hiblc ibs-s not consist in
good external acts, in prayers, in our real
tor Christ, in pcrlorming the deeds of the
law, or in being made happv, but in Invi
to I. oil and num. "With all thy heart."
this is supreme nffcctinn to (iod. The
heart is the seat of the affections, desires
motive! and will. It is the centre of nil
physical mid spiritual life, the central fo
cus from which nil the rnvs of the moral
ble go forth. "With nil thy soul." He
loves Cod with nil his soul, or rather,
with all his ble, who is ready to give up
life lor llm sake to endure unit sulfcr
i at hi r than dishonor (iod. "With all thy
sticn;;tn." To the extent of giving nil til'
our physical powers in llm service. "With
nil thy mind." The intellect belongs to
Cod. This einbraiis the whole num. A
persons who thus loves (iod will be wholly
and unit senedlv given to (Jod and will be
satisiicd with 1 1 1 in . lie will admire ami
oliiy (iod. There will be no looking to
this vain world for delight and happiness,
lor all our joy will be in Him. "Thy
neighbor as thyself." '1 his is nothing
short of the golden rule. Matt. 7: 12. 1.
We will have no ill will for our m ighlior.
2. We will recognize his r ghls. X Pro
tect his interests. 4. Actually love him.
We are even rcipiircd to love our enemies.
28. " This tin, and thou shall live." Shalt
have already eternal lite, the hie of heaven;
for this luart of love is eternal life. It is
the life of saints and angels in paradise.
It makes heaven what it is.
2!l. "Desiring to justify himself." (U.
.) The conscience of this learned law
yer was tout bed nnd he saw that he was
destitute of the love he had just declared
to be necessary in order to inherit eternal
ble. "Who is niy neighbor?" The degree
in which he had kept the law of love would
depend on the answer to this ipiestion.
How wide a circle ilocs "in ighbor" em
brace? I'nwinil that word neighbor, and
it measures oil the whole of our earthly
life, it covers all our practical, everyday
duties. Hut to the Jewish mind "neigh
bor'' was simply ".lew." The Samaritans
urn! (ientiles were, of course, excluded.
.'ill, ".lesus answering said. ' Here it was
that Christ could, in a parable, show how
tar .liiiliusm was from even a true uudcr
staiitltug, much more from such perfect ob
servance of the law, us would gain heaven.
"From Jerusalem to Jericho. ' It was a
very dangerous road, lying much of the
way in a deep ruviue through soft rocks in
which caves iihtniiid, aflording shelter to
miscreants who sallied forth to prey upon
travelers.
.'11. "Certain priest." A large number
ol priest -I and Lcvites dwelt at Jericho.
This priest might have been passing to or
friiiu the temple service ul Jerusalem,
"lie saw him.' And knew that a fellow
man was suffering and in need. "On the
other side." He no doubt could frame
many excuses for not stopping.
.12. "Likewi.-e a lx-vile. A r.cvito was
one of the tribe of Levi; a prict wus of
the family of Aaron in that tribe. The
l.evites performed the humble Kcrvices of
the temple, as elianiii. currying fuel ami
acting as chorister-!. The scribes and law
yers were freitucntly of this tribe, which,
in fact, was set npart by Moses as the in
tellectual boily in the nation, "Passed by."
His conduct was the same as the priest's
had been. These two men would naturally
lie cxiicctcd to befriend the man. lleiug in
the line of religious work does mil m-ccs-Mirily
make a man religious.
,'t.'l. "A certain Samaritan." The Sama
ritans were a half-heathen people, greatlv
despised and hated by the Jews. "Had
compassion." Although they had no
right to expect any help from n Samaritan
yet he hastened to assist the siill'i-ring man.
.'it. "bound i his wounds." lie did the
very best he could for the ninn with the
remedies he had at baud. "On his own
beast." 'This nil took time anil effort, but
he did not hesitate nnd make excuses,
lfcnl love floes not ask how little, but how
much it may do, "To an inn." Thin was
n public house where all coiners were re
ceived. 35. "On the morrow." lie evidently re
mained with him that night. "Two
pence." A pence or Human denarius is
worth about sixteen cents, but it would
be equivalent to eight or ten times us much
in our day.
30. "Which thinkest thou." This ques
tion almost compelled the lawyer to sneak
highly of the Samaritan. "Was neighbor
unto' him." The parable imfilies not a
mere enlargement of Jewish ideas, but a
complete change of them. It is truly a gos-pel-parable,
for the whole old relationship
of mere duty is changed into one of love.
The question now is not, Who is mv neigh
bor, but, Whose neighbor am 1 ? The gos
nel answer the question of fluty by point
ing us to love. Wouldst thou know who is
thy neighbor? Hceouie a neighbor to all
by the utmost service thou ennst do them
iii their need. '1 he paruble points up to
Hun who, in our great need, became neigh
bor to us, even al the cost of all He hail.
37. "Do thou likewise." lie to whom
you ought thus to show mercy in order to
become his neighbor is your neighbor. I
should Imj ready to belli every person who
needs my assistance. The command is im
perative, "(io ami tin thou likewise." X
should "go" wherever a human soul is to
be found anil, with a heart tilled with love,
carry the gospel of Christ. There ure bur
dened nnd sorrowlul hearts who need a
word of cheer; hearts crushed under the
load of sin who need to be pointed to the
Saviour, and it is my fluty to use my best
endeavor to do this even though thev may
live on the other side nf the globe. To the
extent of my ability 1 am responsible for
the sulvutiou of the world.

In nit upright pnsitoti by a lid of paper
or tin, Willi a hole in the centre. The
blotting paper is then placed over the
basin so that lis: cent re touches the
slightly protruding- wlek. The blot
ling paper, thus foil by the wick, ab
sorbs the Ink. tvblle the blot grows
in the liiini of a circle anil gradually
widens owing to the force of capil
lary attract Ion. In less than an hour
It will probably bo four inches across;
It may dually attain a iliaiiirter of
alioill twelve inches.
It must not lie suppnsvd that there
Is anything at all ilillit-tilt in the way
nf blot-growing. If you have not n
lutsin, a wick fir a tube at hand, dis
pense with the basin, put any extem
porary wlek say n piece from n low
ers fringe In any extemporary tube
II piece of a fUlll pen, for Instance
anil place the wick and tube in the
ink bottle; arrange mailt I'M so that one
end of the wlek touches Hie Ink anil
the oilier end touches the blotting pa
llor, nnd wait for the blot to develop.
Your Interest will grow with the
Idols. It will be observed that the
edges of the circles into which the
blots form are sometimes serrated or
daintily scalloped; although some inks
preserve n perfectly smooth outline
for each of the two. three or more
concentric circles into which they
may break. It becomes absorbingly
interesting to observe the different fie
vclopmenlH caused by various inks;
every new experiment yields a new
result.
When the blot lias been grown with
n certain kind of ink, it Is interesting
to dilute the Ink with water nnil then
to grow another blot and note the dif
ference, which will often be surprising:.
Or this experiment may be varied by
feeding a blot with plain water after
It lias been grown with undiluted Ink;
the water will often cause the original
blot to spread in a most remarkable
and unexpected manner. Pearson's

A novel expedient Is being tried to
shorten the running time of trains on
the Central London Kallway. the un
derground electric Hue that was
opened recenjly. This line has twelve
or thirteen Millions and a length of
six and a ball' miles. The track of the
Central Loudon is not laid altogether
level. Just before reaching a station
It rises l.lii! feet to a hundred, anil
immediately after leaving if descends:
even more rapidly for a short distance,
the grade then being M.ll per cent. The
object of this plan Is to stop a train
more quickly when It Is arriving, and
hasten Its departure when It moves
onward again.
It has often been observed Hint,
trains on the elevated mud in this cily
waste more lime in slowing down and
getting up speed again than they
spend wllh open gates. A train may
remain motionless only six or eight
seconds, but the loss of time from the
other causes Is two or three tl s as
great. Hy accelerating bolli stoppage
and start a saving of ten seconds
might be made. This repented a dozen
times would make a difference of two
minutes In the total run. The advan
tage secured by the eviieflient em.
ployed in London is apart from nnd
iiiiiiiiionai io llie use of electric mo
tors, which enable a train to develop
full speed sooner than slcain does.

Judpe Finn of the First Jluniclpal
court, New York, Is one of the coolest
poker players on Manhattan Island. A
lase was before him the other day In
which tho defendant refused to pay
a poker debt of $92. The judge asked
what poker was, and five lawyers, with
oil of whom he hr.s often played, diffi
dently opined that It was played with
cards. "Is It a game of chance?" In
quired the court. "That depends a'.to
