MARK 10:46-52. ■46 And they came to Jcricho: «nd as he went out of Jericho ■«ath his disciples and a rsat number of prople, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway sid« begging. -17 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry uut, and say, Jesus, thou Son of Da vid, have miercy on me. 48 And many charged him that he shcald hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood stii!, and coci- rr’Snc'ed him to be called. And they callei. the blind riian, saying unto him, Jfe of good cottiiort, rise; he calieth thea, ■ ■ -' •iO And he, casting away his gai- menl, rose, ard camo to Jesus. 51 And Jesus answered and said unto him. What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The biin.d man said un- t“ him, Lord, that I might receive my wgii:. ■'2 Ai:d .fesus said unto him. Go ■ thy way; thy faith haih made thee «hole. .-^i’.d immediately he received his sight, and foiiowed Jesus in the -v^ay. GOLDE-V TEXT. "Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall t.e unstopped. Then shall the lame mar; leap as an hart, and the tongue cf ihe dumb sing.” (Isa. 3.5;5-C.) No one tbouglit a poor blind man de sired acj^iag mpre than eooufrh food to live on, and the passing thnwg was content to help feed him, if, indeed, any attention was given him at all. PFwS^ (ilVrXG SIGHT TO THE 3LIM) .MAN. The city of Jericho vviis a rich and important center of trade, situated in the valley cf the Jordan about five jnile,s north of the Dead Sea. It was Oil a highway of commerce betwcGn the Mesopotamian countries and the vulley of the Nile and therefore broagh within its borders men of ail classes. A commercial center always presents a cosmopolitan populatioPr combining the best and the worst in the business, intellectual, and moral world. Jericho had it« proportion of fuccesses and failures, rich and poor, respectable and outcast. The city is very frequently mentioned in both the OVi and the New Testament, and was the home of Jew and Gentile. So far as the public rerord gives us informa tion, Jesus was in Jcricho only once d Jing his public ministry, althougrh he mentions the city in one of his par ables. On his brief visit, however, he put upon the Gospel roll thii names ‘■'f Zacchaeus and Bartimaeus^ a pub lican and a beg-gar, both of whom be bic-ssed with his kindness and love. Zf it is only food that man wants, it is as well be blind as to have good eyes, for evpn a blind beggar can live* But it is as true of the blind ss of the seeiiig that “man does not live by bread alone.’* No one had e vei suspected the truth about Barti** maeus, but deep in his heart he iesir« ed something more than the feeding of his bpdy. He felt n great longing and a calling for Bght, even if it was lo be had at the cost of the coi*.’? and c^’Ufr'ta that people threw hrw. Who would. really suppose that even a blind man would be fully satisiied with a fa- vcred place of begging / When Bartimaeus heard one day chat Jesus of Nai:areth was passing by he threw out the filmost /ra.*Jtic ytarning of his soul in one long; eag er ,piteous cry for mercy. Not for crumbs and pennies diii he plead, but for mercy suited hi^ case betten than U’jything A man is made up of huni?cr. not body hun^or. Bar timaeus >va.s unfortunate, not unhu- and the blessings that made life sweot and joyous to che shouting mui- tUude passing on the highway wef*j Jjist as desirable ani imperative in nir, own .soul. We are prepared, there fore, to appreciate; the words which ha began and continued to cry out4 Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy cft me.’’ TBE rFFi.UiT TO SUPPRESS THE| BUND MAN’S CRV. When we undersiar.! what the real h'ingvr of human lii- is we do not murvel at the ip.fi.-ttnt cry of the l.iii d mnn. Nor are we greatly sur- [j-j.-ied that tl:e multitude thought his l»)ea for mercy an iiftru.'sion, for ev ery man is prone to think that his deepest w’anis arc peculiar to himself. But it is disappointing to lind the- disciples entering ino the conspiracy lo silence the blind man's rotfjest, for cnly a short time before Jesua had said to them, “Be servants of ail men/’ ‘"I am the minister cf every nt^n,” “I am the ransom of the many.” These words had silenced their am bition, bnt they had not learneri their meaning of love. The disciples doubt- ies? had a new idea of liTct but they had no tjractice in loving the unfor- ti naU*. They wert? as veady to check the blind man’s plea as the most ig- mrsnt in the multitude. Their at- tudfc toward a wan crying for li^ht just thi? same as that :7f a strang er who had never se'/a the sw'eet cour- t«sy of the Mosu»r\s love. But, being asi'ociates cf the Master, there wjis ylrong hope that their spirit would 0:1c day be transformed into the liko' ■ess of their Lord. MAGAZJLN'E MIBN JUIg.&UBSTED.

For even the Son of mar. c.inie not to he ministered unto, liut to minister, and to give his life a ran som for many." The incident in the lives of the disciples that called forth ih»‘se words might lead us to suppose that they would be eager to act upon the principle contained in these wond erful words. But not so eager were they to imbibe the Master's spirit, ixno it is not certain that we are pu pils more apt in the Master’s school of f en icc‘.
