This, indeed, was the very acme of happiness. The old man and his son waited on Miss Fanny Fairlie after the ballet was over. “Fanny, darling,” cried the lover, “this is my father, who is almost in love with you himself, don’t you know. It’s funny, isn’t it?” “I think I have met Miss Fairlie before,” said Mr. Quibble, coolly, ar- Must | ranging his eyeglass and looking the lady full in the face.

Poor Percy was puzzled. “Let me see—it was at the Daisy ‘She was Lucey Music Hall twenty-five years ago, wasn’t it?” “You've an excellent memory, Archie,” replied Miss Fairlie. ‘‘Per- haps you remember other things, too?” “Rather, Fanny, replied Mr. Quib- ble, chuckling. ‘You're almost as fresh as ever, and as cunning, too, I see.” ; “How much will you pay to get out of this mess?’ asked Fanny. “Five hundred—cash down. Take it, Lucy, and don’t bother any more.” “Fork over, old man.” Poor Percy's little brain was in a whirl. He had no power to inter- fere. The crisp greenbacks were passed over, and Fanny said: ‘“Ta-ta; but do you know that my real lover is little Jerry Traddles— old Tom's son? He was only a child when you and I were chums, Archie. He's in Cleveland now. We shall have a roaring old time when he gets back.” Then she skipped off. “You're a nice fellow, you are!” exclaimed Mr. Quibble, as he but- toned his overcoat. ‘Come along. I'll leave you to your mother now, and what a laugh she will have at vou for your insane infatuation for that seasoned beauty. Why, she was a heart crusher twenty-five years ago.” “But don’t you think it would be well if you made little of the affair, sir, in her presence, and helped me to get off lightly?’’ said Percy.

As Percy failed to return to his hotel, Mr. Quibble decided to go to the Globe Theatre and see the object of his son’s affections. Percy had been sitting ‘in the front row of the parquet for a few minutes only, when his father took a seat beside him. ‘““You infernal young fool!” the old man muttered into his son’s ear. But the seats were nearly all oc- cupied, and further remonstrance was out of the question. Just then the curtain rose, and the first scene of the wonderful ballet, ‘‘Mazeppa,” filled the stage. Percy almost forgot the presence of his father, for was not Fanny there, looking quite ethereal in the pale limelight, as she sat on a rock, waiting for the return of her soldier lover? “That's she—that’s she!” he hoarsely whispered. His eyes saw nothing else; his thoughts were cen- tered on that vision of pathetic love- liness. “Oh! that’s the girl—is it?” said his father. He regarded the languishing madden earnestly for a few moments. Then he laughed—Ilaughed so heart- ily that his neighbors wondered, and his son was amazed. “Beautiful girl, Percy, my boy! “By George!” he exclaimed, after ,sninute’s thought, ‘‘you’re not such Hel after all!”’—New York Weekly.

Subject: Jesus Christ. Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme, “Jesus Christ,” the Rev. I. W. Henderson, pastor took as his text John 1:14: ‘‘And the word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” He said: . The character and career of Jesus Christ are the ground of human hope and the basis of mankind's belief in His power as the Saviour. His life, as the evidence of the sincerity of His speech, is the source of His success. The outward action of our Master is the signal and the surety of His inward healthfulness of heart. ‘mn His life, precept and practice were at coincidence. With Him thought and deed always were concurrent. His words conveyed His real intentions and His innermost ideals. His language was to lead men unto eter- nal life and was never used to con- ceal a wicked thought. Preaching a gospel of light unto the salvation of the world and pro- claiming His personal sufficiency as the Saviour of mankind from sin, Jesus Christ talked truth, walked true, died on Calvary, in devotion tc His divine commission, unto the sav- ing of the souls of sinners. The life of Jesus is remarkable, not only as it reveals His oneness with divinity, but also as it shows to us what qualities of manhood are potent for a real success. Tack- ling the mightiest problem in the world the Christ exemplifies what are the means that we should use to win success in all our lesser strife. He teaches us a lesson that should count for much in all our daily do- ings; which should make us forceful factors which shall lead men up to God; which should push us ever near- er to Hi§ holiness and grace. The life and the death, i. e., the career of Jesus Christ, reveal to us four divine qualities of character that every man should possess. In His downright earnestness; in His fiery intenseness; in His clear cut, sharp directness; and in His faithfulness to the truth and to His trust, the Friend of humanity leads every man suc- cessward, if he will to go. The earnestness of Jesus Christ is a secret of His power. Tendering: to men a surety of eternal life, He did not fool their time or His own away. Professing a pledge of -upliftment from the depth of sin, He held His word in serious regard. The salva- tion of the world was not mere child’s play, but a whole man’s, yea, the God-man’s, labor. The need was for a man who was dead in earnest. Such a man was the Christ. Earnestness made Christ a win- ner. Clearness of vision as to His mission would have becn of none effect had the Christ been weak of will. Love for men and loyalty to His Father made strong demand for earnestness. The pluck and the push of the Master secured the consumma- tion of His purpose. Irresolution would have merited defeat, and it would have gained our Lord oblivion. Lack of zeal would have lost th: Christ to history. But for His ear- nestness and determination the story of His virtues never would have reached our ears. Earnestness :nrle Christ push the fight into the coun- try of the enemy; courage and resolu- tion won Him fame and secured Him in His place of glory in the Father's home. With a fiery intenseness Jesus battled for the souls ¢f men. His was no lukewarm, milk and water, blow hot and blow ccld, half-hearted enthusiasm. The Christ was always ardent. His spirit never cooled, but was ever at a rich, white-heat. His was- enthusiasm compounded. Be- lieving, as He did, ‘hat the happiness of the human heart and the saving of the human soul are the main con- cerns of human life, our Lord had ever a zeal that was glowing. Trast- ing in the power of divine aid and knowing the need of the human race to be saved from sin, Jesus Christ was as full of earnestness as He was of grace and truth. Grace is good; truth is a talisman of might, but grace and truth need grit and fire ere they do their greatest work. Iron is a mineral of worth, but for battle give me tempered steel. Mer of muscle are goodly to the sight, but for action send me cut the man of courage and the souls who want to win. But with all His earnestness and intenseness the Saviour made un- erring aim. Directness was not the least of His commendable traits. The need was for good marksmanship and a sure sight. Sin was at the centre of the world’s distress and to hit the middle of the target was the mis- sion of the Christ. Jesus never minced matters when He dealt with sin. Without care for the conse- quences and with mo circumlocuticn our Lord let loose His flaming wrath upon the works and the workers of iniquity. His was no uncertain, wav- ering voice. The fear of the outcome of His fierce denunciation of spiritual and moral lawlessness was foreign to His heart. Clear, sharp, with an incisiveness that cut to the very core of the matter, He stated the funda- mental propositions of the Kingdom of our God and then made His ene- mies admit the power of His points. His was no halting, thin-toned state- ment of eternal virtues. Feeling within the deepest recess of His heart that sin was the cause of man’s suf- fering and knowing that © re-birth was necessary to a full salvation, the Master sent forth those firm, direct and forceful messages that have been the object of the curses of a few rnd the hope and inspiration of a mighty 2nd unrumbered host who do honor o His name. To supplement His earnestness and flaming directness Jesus added sur- passing faithfulness. Faithfulness is but a simile for steadfastness. To be faithful is to have a cordial cer- tainty that the right must win and | “It was his teeth.”’—ChicagoNews. also to be ready to stand firm and valiant for the truth until righteous- ness shall prevail. 'The Christ was pre-eminently faithful. His was the incorruptible devotion to the de- mands of duty which should be the ideal of us all. To Him we must turn do we wish to see the ideality of ser- vice. From Him must we learn would we get the wisdom that shall gain us our ambition’s goal. Sitting at the feet of the Master do we enter into knowledge of a fine fidelity which commands respect. Earnestness, intenseness, direct- ness, faithfulness—these are the four words that point the lesson for us now. To Christians and to the Christ- less souls of the universe of God, the Saviour is the interpreter of the salient qualities that are necessary for a life’s successes. He it is who illustrates and objectifies for us what our lives should be. The need for these cardinal virtues was never more evidentor well voiced than in this day. In the world of business they are no less needed tuan in those religious spheres where moral and spiritual verities are up- permost. The necessity for the cxer- cise of these qualities that make for manly might is everywhere apparent. To the man who would attain busi- ness predominance and commercial power they are invaluable and indis- pensable. Deduct the moral crim- inality which has made possible the success of many of the industrial and financial leaders of our day and the fact that their influence is largely based upon indomitable pluck and energy and dutifulness still outstands all else. Backbone and push have been the reason for the rapidity in advancement of a throng. A clean bull's eye gains applause for the man with the hand and the true sight. Directness brings to a man the con- fidence of the crowd. Half-heated, poorly-fired, swaying, swerving, ir- resolute men without sense or sand enough to be true to anything for any considerable length of time nev- er reach the top, never attain, never are lifted to a place of power. The world has small use for moral weak- lings or men without spunk and grit, at the front. These characteristics which we have denominated as among the dis- tinguishing features in the Christ's career are most essential, however, to the man who would reach the highest usefulness and be most a blessing in the world. Needful as these quali- ties may be to those who would be famed for physical and material achievement they are still more re- quisite for those who desire spiritual graces. Especially are they compul- sory and mandatory for those who have not acknowledged Christ and would wish to call (Him® Liord.-- The soul’s restoration depends entirely upon the willingness of the sinner to seek salvation earnestly and in faith. Spiritual baptism is the gift of the Father to those only who come straight to the point. Excuses and attempts at palliation of our personal guilt merely delay the crisis. Ex- tenuation and mitigation are of none avail. Decisive and conclusive vield- ing of the heart to the Master is the one concession that will bring a spir- jtual surcease from the woe of a wicked life. Earnest endeavor to be faithful to the trust of the Christian Sonship gives growth and greatness in the spiritual life. These gospels from the life of our Lord have special bearing upon the activities of the church. The church of Christ is not so earnest, not so in- tense, not so faithful, as she should be in the spreading of the seed of salvation. The church has lessened her directness too much in her at- tacks upon the strongholds of sin. We have been conient with medioc- rity while the devil has gained as- cendance. The church, to be the agent for godliness that she is called upon to be, must get down to busi- ness. Half-heartedness puts the flag of the Christ at half-mast. We must nail our colors at the top and keep them there. Directness demands clean-cut, un- wavering work done with faithful ness, fidelity and with hoping hearts. The church, each of us and all of us together, must cease to be satis- fied with poor work or none. The salvation of our own souls and the procuring of temporal and eternal blessings for ourselves is not enough.’ Are we to attain success, as an or- ganization, in the spiritual work that counts, we must be all on fire with the desire fo save men’s souls, and to bring happiness to their hearts and lives while here. Lack of zeal will condemn us as unworthy. Feehle fire proves remiss- ness. A poor aim lays us open to the enemy’s assaults. Unfaithfulness is unworthy of us and will meet the condemnation of our God. Celestial Investments. Everyone who is so happy as to get to heaven will have in God's presence ‘‘fullness of joy’ and at His right hand ‘‘pleasures for evermore,” but that does not say that they will all have joys and pleasures alike. A pint cup may be full to overflowing. A quart cup may be full to overflow- ing. But the quart cup holds more. The Bible makes it very plain that there will be differences among the redeemed. Some will be saved ‘“‘so as by fire.” It speaks of ‘‘greatest” and ‘least’ in the kingdom of heav- en, and of some as having an ‘“‘abun- dant entrance,” and distinctly tells us to ‘‘lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven,” thereby assuring us that it is both possible and worth our while to do so.—Rev.

Subject: Jesus on the Cross, Luke xxiii., 33-46—Golden Text, Luke xxiii., 34—Memory Verses, 42, 43—Commentary. 1. Jesus crucified (v. 33). 33. «When they were come.” A great company of people and of women fol- lowed Jesus to the cross, who also bewailed and lamented Him. The three Marys were there: Mary, the mother of Jesus; Mary, the wife of Cleopas; and Mary Magdalene, with several other friends (v. 49). ‘“Cal- vary.” Calvary is the Latin, and Golgotha the Hebrew word with the same meaning. It is just outside the city of Jerusalem. ‘They crucified Him.” His hands and feet were nailed to the cross (Luke 24:39, 40), and then it was lifted and sunk into the ground with a sudden shock pro- ducing great pain. ‘The malefac- tors.” Two thieves were crucified with Jesus, one on the right hand, and the other or the left. II. The mocking crowd (Vs. 34- 37). 34. “Father, forgive them.” There were seven sayings of Christ while on the eross. This, the first one, is a prayer for His murderers. “parted His raiment.” The four sol- diers divided among themselves Hig outer robe, head-dress, girdle and sandals, but for His “coat,” that is, His tunic or under garment, which was without seam and which would have been ruined if divided, they cast lots (John 19:23, 24). ‘Cast lots.” See Psa. 22:18. What a picture! 35. “The people stood beholding.” Vast crowds were in Jerusalem to attend the feast of the Passover. ‘The rul- ers.’ The dignitaries and members of the Sanhedrin. ‘Derided Him.” The crowd mocked Him from 9 till 12 o'clock. The women were last at the cross and first at the grave. ‘‘Let Him save Himself.” They thought that if Jesus were the Messiah, surely He could deliver Himself from the Roman cross. 36. “Vinegar.” The soldiers pre- tend to treat Jesus as a king, to whom the festive cup is presented. 111. The superscription (v. 38). “Superscription.” The white tablet nailed upon the cross, above the head of the victim, to declare the crime for which He was crucified. ‘Was writ- ten.” Pilate wrote this superscrip- tion evidently in derision (John 19: 19). “King of the Jews.” The words are somewhat different in the differ- ent gospels, probably because some of the writers copied from one lan- guage and some from another. IV. The robber’s conversion (vs. 39-43). 39. “Railed on Him.” The two thieves crucified with Him may have belonged to the band with Barabbas. ‘‘Save Thyself,” ete. Prove your claim to the Mes- siahship by delivering yourself and us from Geath. 40. * “Dost not thou fear God.” Whatever the reckless crowd may do, thou art near death; does this have no effect upon you? 41. “We—justly.” » He is.a-’ true penitent, confessing his sins. ‘Noth- ing amiss.” He may have heard and seen much of Jesus at the trial. 42. “Lord.” The very use of the word implies faith. “Thy king- dom.” He thus recognized Christ as a real King. 43. “To-day.” This was the sec ond saying of Christ on the cross. “Paradise.” This is a word of Per- sian origin, denoting a beautiful park. V. The supernatural darkness (vs. 44, 45), 44. ‘Sixth hour.” Noon. “Darkness.” The darkness continued three hours, from noon till 3 o’clock. “Over the whole land.” (R. V.) Of Palestine. This darkness was. typi- cal of the moral darkness that filled the land. This was a miraculous oc- currence, showing the amazement of God at the wickedness of the cruci- fixion of Him who is the light of the world and the sun of righteousness. “The ninth hour.” The hour of the offering of the evening sacrifice. Dur- ing the darkness occurred Christ's fourth utterance on the cross: “My God, My God, why hast Thou for- saken Me?” (Matt. 27.46). The fifth saying was, “I thirst” (John 19:28). 45. ‘‘The veil.” The great veil of the temple that hung between the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies, 40 cubits (60 feet) long, and 20 (30 feet) wide, of the thickness of the palm of the hand, and wrought in 72 squares, which were joined together. These veils were very heavy. “Was rent.”” Its rending typified ‘‘that the veil that shut out the vision of holi- ness from the hearts of the people had been taken away’ (2 Cor. 3:14- 16). ‘‘Its rending was emblematical and pointed out that the separation between Jews and Gentiles was now abolished, and that the privilege of the high priest was now communicat- ed to all mankind.” VI. Our Lord’s death (v. 46). “With a loud voice.” As it were the triumphant note of a conqueror. What He =: id first at this time is re- corded in John 19:30, and was His sixth saying on the cross. “It is fin- ished.” ‘‘Father,” etc. This was His seventh saying. ‘The word ‘Father’ shows that His soul has recovered full serenity.”” Not long before this when struggling in the darkness He call. l to His “God;’”’ now the dark- ness is gone and He sees God as a loving “Father.” ‘I commend My spirit.” I deposit My soul in Thy hands. Here is another proof of the immortality of the soul, and of its separate existence after death. ‘‘Gave up the ghost.” “He dismissed the spirit.” He Himself willingly gave up that life which it was impossible for man to take away. As Jesus gave up His spirit there was an earthquake of such power as to rend the rocks and open the tombs (Matt. 27:51 53). World's Vast Fellowship. Sometimes the hope arises within us that the idea of the world’s vast fellowshid will triumph in the mind and life of humanity, and bring in the great glad age, when ‘“‘the peace that is passionate and the passion that is peaceful” shall reign.—W.

The old Irish Parliament House, which according to rumor may be oc¢c- cupied by a national council under a devolution scheme ere long, is one of the architectural glories of Dublin. In its exterior aspect it remains the same as it was when in the possession of the lords and commons of Ireland, but internally it has been knocked about to meet the requirements of the Bank of Ireland, into whose hands it passed after the act of union. The legislative hall of the commons, which once resounded with the eloquence of Grattan, Curran, Plunket and Flood, has been practically destroyed and the present public banking chamber occupies part of its site. But the House of Lords remains intact, just as it was at the fime of the union, and is the most interesting and at- tractive part of the building to visit- ors.—Loncon Chronicle.

The Navy will shortly issue orders providing for an increase in pay for expert marksmen in the Marine Corps, placing them on a footing with the expert marksmen of the army. As the Marine Corps has no ranges at its northern posts, General Elliott proposes to arrange with the Bay State, New York State and New Jersey State Rifle Associations to al- low the marines to shoot on the ‘range near Boston, at Creedmore, New York, and at Sea Girt, Ne Jersey. The marines at Portsmouth, Boston and Newport wili use the Boston range, those at New York will go to Creedmoor, and those at League Island to Sea Girt.

Twenty-five years ago the custom of making New Year's calls was a de- lightful one for all concerned, until some of the boys got more ‘“egg-nog”’ or ‘“‘apple-jack’” than they could suc- cessfully carry. Then the ladies tried to be charita- ble and the gentlemen tried to be as chivalrous as ever and stand up at the same time. If anyone thinks there has not been considerable improvement made in the last quarter of a century i: the use of alcoholic beverages, let him stop to consider/among other things, the fact that the old custom of New Year’s calls and the genteel tippling is nearly obsolete. . The custom of calling on one’s friends, however, at the beginning of the new year, is a good habit, and another good habit to start at that time is the use of well-made Postum instead ‘of coffee or spirits. A Staten Island doctor has a sensi- ble daughter who has set Postum be- fore her guests as a good thing to drink at Yule Tide, and a :good way to begin the: New Year. Her father writes: “My daughter and I have used Postum for some time past and we feel sure it contains wholesome food material. “I shall not only recommend it to my patients, but my daughter will be most pleased to give a demonstration of Postum to our Christmas and New Year's callers.”” Read “The Road to His death was the last segment in the perfect circle of His life, Wellville,” in'pgks. ‘There's a rea- son.” . a oo dO od ory Sl UL A BD Piel fad oa OFF LOSN Te TOO Ard wD rhdd yd FATA O + Oct dH a4 0 da od Hed OMe
