have preached on tho slda of Olivet fifty

philosophers sneered at His ministrations
and said. "This will newer do." The law
yer earioatured, but the eommon people
heard Him gladly. Suppose you that there
were any sleepy people in His audiences?
Suppose you that any woman who ever
mixed bread was Ignorant of what He
meant when He compared the kingdom ot
heaven with leaven or yeast? Suppose, vou
that the sunburnt fishermen, with fish
scales upon their hands, were listless
when He spoke ot the kingdom of heaven
as a net? We spend three years In college
studying ancient mythology, and three
years In the theologloal seminary learn
ing how to make a sermon, and then we
go out to save the world, and If we can
not do it according to Claude's "Sermon
ising," or Blair's "Rhetorin," or Karnes
"Crltlolsm," we will let the world go
to . perdition. If we save nothing
else, we will save Claude and
Blair. We see a wreck in sight. We
must, go out and save the crew and pas
sengers. We wait until we get on our fine

then we push out methodically and
scientifically, while some plain shoresman,
in rough Ashing smack and with -broken
oar lock goes out and gets the crew and
passengers and brings them ashore in
safety. We throw down our delicate oars
and say: "What a ridiculous thing to save
men in that wayl You ought to have done
It scientifically and beautifully." "Ah,"
says the shoresman, "if those sufferers had
waited until you got out your One boat
they would have gone to the bottom."
The work of a religious teacher Is to
save men, and though every law of gram
mnrshould be snapped in tho undertaking,
and there be nothing but awkwardness and
blundering in the mode, all hail to the
man who saves a soul.
Christ, In His preaching, was plain,

INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS
FOR AUGUST 19.
Imso Texts "Abitalalag For tha fiakeel
Others." I Cor. will., 1-13 (A Temper,
anre Leeeon) Golden Text! Romans,
Tlv., 7 Commentary by Raw. Stearns.
1. "Now as touching things offered nnto
Idols, we know that we all have knowl
edge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity
edllleth." The It. V. has for the last clause,
"Love edlflctb, or bulldeth up." The words
'Now as touching" introduce us to new
section ot the epistle. Compare chapters
vll., 1; xtl., 1; xvl.. 1. This section seems
to reach to the end of chapter xl., and
might be summed np In the words of chap
ter x., 81, "Whether therefore ye eat or
drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the
glory of God." The great Incentive to this
Is "Remembrance of Him till He eome,t
(chapter xi., U-36).
a. "And If any man think that he know
eth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as
he ought to know." It is said that "to
know our Ignorance is the first step to
knowledge." The great men-1! the Bible
story knew nothing exoept aenhey were
told by God. Noah knew nothing concern
ing the ark, nor even when to enter It or
leave It, exoept as God told him. Moses
knew nothing concerning the tabernacle,
nor the journeylngg of Israel, except as
Ood told him. The prophets, and even our
Lord Jesus Christ, were told by God what
to say (Ex. lv.. 12; Deut. xvill., 18; Jer. J., 7).
8. "But if any mnn love God, the same is
known of him." The Lord knoweth them
thnt are His, and those who know His name
will put their trust in Him. Wo love Hlm
because He flrst loved us. He so loved as
to give His only begotton Son. and the Son
of God loved me and gave Himself for me.
Unless His great love so takes hold of me
and constrains me that I give mvself
wholly to Him to serve and please 'Him
only I do not know His love as I should.
Love seeks not Its own, and Is not provoked;
uui nuiu-rmu long, ana is Kind and henreth
all things (chapter xlll., 4-7). God Is love,
and will manifest It in us.
4. "We know that an Idol Is nothing In
the world, and thnt there is none other God
but one." This is fully set forth In I:.n. xll.,
M; xllv., 9-20: "Ye are worse than nothing,
ond your work worse than of a vlpor. An
abomination chooseth you." "They that
mukea graven Imago aro all of them vani
ty, and their delectable things shall not
iirollt, and they are their own witnesses,
:hoy see not nor know; thnt thevmnvbo
ashamed." But the people of God'are wit
nesses that He Is the living and truo God,
oJ thut there Is nono beside Hlm (Isu, slv..
6. "Forthough thorn bo that are called
goaa, to us there Is but ono God, tho Fath
er, of whom are all things and we In Him,
and ono Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are
all things, and we by Hlm." All things
were created by Him nnd for Him, and He
Is before all things, nnd by Him all things
consist (Col. I., 1, 17). From Kev. Iv., 11,
and I Pot. lv., 11, we mnv lenrn to snv,
"Thou art worthy, O Lord, and I am for
Thy pleasure, that Ood In all things may
be glorified through Jesus Christ."
7. "Howbelt, thero Is not in every man
thnt knowledge." There are those to-day,
as there were those nt Corinth, who bear
the name of Cnrist and yet olTor their time
and strength and money to the idols of
fashion and pleasure and the vain things
of this world, and think It all right so to do.
If you ask, Aro they truly Christ's people?
we can only answer that If they are they
aro not truly serving him. As to this being
His, chapter III., 14, 15, and v., 5, seem to
luggest thnt possibly they may be, nnd
thoy may bo saved as by lire, Just bare'y
C1.1 DU
8. "But moot commendeth us not to God."
What we eat or do not eat is a small ques
tlon, except as regards the body's health.
The kingdom of God Is not meat anil drink,
but righteousness and pence andioy in the
noly Ghost (Horn, xlv., 17). Our Lord Hlm
elf sold, "Whatsoever thing from without
entereth into tho man, It cannot defile him;
that which comoth out of the man, that do
Illeth the man" (Mark vil., 18, 20). The
salvation of the soul depends wholly upon
tho finished work of the Lord Jesus, and
we nre accepted by God as His children en
tirely upon the morlts of Christ. Wo do
serve nothing but punishment for our sins.
Yet, coming as sinners, wo are Justilled
freely by Ills grace (Horn. III., 21). The
enme grace, and thnt nlono, makes accept
able what we do unto Him,
0. "But take hood lest by any means this
liberty of yours becomes a stumbling block
to them that are weak." Liberty is ulwavs
out of place when it hurts others. Love
soekoth not her own. Mnny things mav be
Inwful for us that are not expedient. The
question Is not, How will this or thnt affect
me, but how will it affect Him nnd His
cnuso for whom I am living here? We are
on the witness stand all tho day long, and
we nro either truo or fulse witnesses unto
Him by tho books we read, the company wo
keep and the places wo frequent. Wo are
either pointing people to Christ and draw
ing them to Hlm, or wo nre like Naomi,
sending some Orpah back to Moub and
Idolatry.
10, 11. "Through thy knowlodge shall
Ihe weak brother perish, for whom Christ
died." As Christ died for all. then all who
will mny oome to Him nnd be snvod. But
It I, a Christian, am seen In the Idol's tem
ple, the theatre, the ballroom, the card
party, and there Is present somo poor soul
enjoying these things becnuso ho knows of
nothing bettor, yet hungering for some
thlna he has not and cannot Und, although
possibly having "heard that Ohwst CAn sat
isfy, and he sees me In such a place, then he
muy well any or think that there Is nothing
In It, for, see, these Christians are just as
hungry as I urn for tho pleasures ot this
world.
12. "But when yo sin so agnlnst the
brothren and wound tholr weak conscience
yo sin against Christ." All that Is dono for
or agulust a child of Ood Is dono for or
against Ood nnd His Christ. The "Inns
much" ot Math, xxv., 40, 45. Is always ap
plicable A Christian may be a stumbling
block over whom somo unsaved soul may
stumble into eternal torment, or may by In
consistent conduct not only lose tils own
works, but lead others so that their works
Will perish too. This will be avoided if wo
remember that wo aro embassadors for
Christ ond that we are hero In His stead to
say and do what Ho would If Ho woro hern
(II Cor. v., 20).
"13. "Wherefore, If meat make my broth
er to offend, I will ent no flesh while the
world staudeth, lost I make my brother to
offend." One says that whatever hurts
the weak ought to bo avoided by tho
strong. Sometimes It Is as Important not
to do as to do, Daniel was a great re
fralner. He refused the dainties nnd seem
ingly essentlnl things ot the king's table
for conscience's sake toward Ood, Lesson
Helper.

Consul General De Kny. at Berlin,
writes to the State Department at some
length concerning the efforts thnt are
being made In Germany to prevent the
Importation and Bale of American bi
cycles In that country. Several schemes
have been devised, and the probabili
ties are that increased tariff rates, to
be imposed In some form, will be adopt
ed to curry out the desires of the Ger
mans. Mr. De Kay also suggests that
some International plan should be
adopted to protect American bicycle
trade marks in Germany.

Uitght in his time have pronounced sur
gery to be the profession of licensed
mayhem. Hut medicine and surgery
have made great strides not only since
that day, but since the time when thou
sands died under the inucet In the hos
pitals of our civil war or came home
mere fractious of their former selves.
Some statistics brought forwurrt at the
annual meeting of the Massachusetts
Medical Society arc eloquent as proof
of the triumph of the new surgery ovei
tho old. The comparisons were drawn
from the operations made In the Boston
city hospital between the years 18ti4-C9
and those of 1XSO-W. During the for
mer period there were treated 120
cases of eomiiound fractures. Of theso
Ctl per cent, cuuie to amputation. In
the case of compound fractures of the
tipper extremity 41 per cent, died; of
the lower extremity, 00 per cent, were
futal. ThLs terrlblo record of mortal
ity occurred too In a new and well
equipped hospital, an Institution which
would compare favorably with any of
that time.
In the Inter period the beds hnd In
crensed Troiu 250 to 800. but lu spite
of that fact the numtier of amputations
had fallen to eighty-two, and of these
the mortality wns exactly one-third of
whnt It hud been. In amputations at
the thigh the mortality was red need
from M pt-r cent, to 12 per cent-
while those of the leg from U2 to 13
or me arm from 38 to 10 per cent. In
short, the mortality from compound
fractures wns two-thirds less than un
aer the old methods. The physicians
attriDiito this snving of life to nscpsls,
riM
" surgery permuted the Bur
geons to wnlt niuch longer thnu for
meriy Defore operating. They could
now wait until the nseptle regime to
see If the compound fracture did not
lieul Itself, which It frequently did, and
in the majority of cases amputation
wps uuiiccesstirr.
;t t i
Limor the new surgery healing Is
painless. The only pnln now felt Is that
of the Incisions. After that bus sub
sided there Is no pain In aseptic hcul
nig. ine old nnd lingering fevers
which so often followed surglcul tipcr
ntlons have vanished, for with perfect
asepsis there Is no surgical fever. The
danger of suppuration nnd secondar
hemorrhage has also gone, from the
same cause.
As to visceral surgery. Its triumph
cno peeu marvelous. Surgeons now
open the visceral cavity ami perform
the most astonishing feats. eratloiis
which to-day are performed with Im
punity by young surgeons would have
lieen deemed ns preliminary to nothing
short of cold-blooded iniirdor by the
lust generation. Scarcely a part of the
iKHly of living man Is unexplored by
science, nnd feats of trephining ulmost
Incredible are performed daily In our
hospitals. Of course with this rapid
ndvnneo of surgery has come a tenilcn
cy to overoK'inte, nnd conservative
surgeons will agree that reckless sur
gery has gained some headway In late
years. This Is confined to the younger

OliarlesUm luirlior, mode of the tniuks
of tho palmetto, repulsed the attacks of
a British fWt under command of Kir
I'ter Parker, and when tlie State of
South Carolina was organized, tlio
State wmlI, which wns first used hi
May, 1777, was made to commemorato
this victory. A palm tree, growing
erect on the seashore, reprcwflits tlio
HtreiiRth of the fort, while nt Its ba.Ho
an onk: tree, torn from the ground njid
deprived of Its branches, r rails the
British fleet, built of oak Umber, ovur-
comc by the juilmetto."
