made the iron that formed the nails and
uuo woou mac rormed the cross and the
men who nailed Him there and consent
ed to be subject, to all for the timo.
86. "And sitting down they watched
Him thoro." Compare Gen. xxsvii, 25
Estheriii, 15. How desperately wicked and
hard and dead is the natural heart of man
no one knows but God Himself (Jer. xvii,
9, 10). Perhaps you could not look upon
Christ on the cross for you you could not
bear it. But can you look upon the mul
titudes for whom He died, who know not
of Him, and be indifferent as to whether
they ever hear of Him?
87. "And set up over His head His ac
cusation written, This is Jesus, the King
of the Jews." It was written in Greek
and Latin and Hebrew (Luke xxiil, 38),
for it was and will yet be seen to be a
truth of worldwide import. Until it be
comes a reality in the eyes of all nations
the world will never have the peace and
prosperity that are in Ktrr fnr hnr iu
17; Isa. he, 6, 7; Luke i, 32, 33). Let us
bo obedient to Isa. lxii, 6, 7, and remem
ber Ps. exsii, 6.
38. "Then were theso two thieves cruci
fied with Him, one on the right hand and
another on the left." It is added in Mark
xv, 28, "And the Scripture was fulfilled
which saith, And He was numbered with
the transgressors." In His life they bad
called Him glutton, winebibber, devil,
and in His death they would proclaim to
the world that He was naught but an evil
doer and a liar, and He meekly submitted
to it all.
89, 40"Save Thyself. If Thou be tho
Son of God come down from the cross."
Thus they reviled Him in His agony and
self imposed helplessness and made sport
of His saying that He would raise tho tem
ple in threo days (John ii, 19-21), not
knowing that they were preparing tho way
for Him to do that very thing. He could
have saved Himself. He could have come
down from the cross. But He could not
save Himself and others too.
41, 42. "If He be tho King of Israel, let
Him now come down from the cross and
we will believe Him." But they lied, for
they were children of their father (John
viii, 44) and of the same stock as those
who rejected God as their King and de
manded a king like those of other nations
(I Sam. viii, 7; x, 19). How great the
contrast in Nathaniel, who said from the
heart, "Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God;
Thou art the King of Israel" (John i, 49).'
43. "He trusted in God. Let Him de
liver Him now if He will bavo Him, for
He said, I am tho Son of God." Thus
they denied the Father and the Son and
rapidly filled up the measure of their in
iquity. See-their word "now," they
would have it done now. There is much
sin even on the part of God's people in
their setting Him a time and saying
"now," this day or week or month or year.
And because Ho does not humor them
they find fault with Him. This is neither
faith nor patience, but is more apt to be
self and the devil.
44. "The thieves also which were cruci
fied with Him cast the same in His teeth."
But one afterward repented and gave Him
tho joy of faith in Him and went to para
dise with Him that day (Luke xxxiii, 41
43). On the cross is seen as now here else
the love of God to us (I John iv, 9; iii,
16), and about the cross is seen every
phase of the human heart.
45. "Xow from the sixth hour there was
darkness over all the land unto the ninth
hour." Possibly the reference in Amos
viii, 9, includes this darkness while point
ing onward to something yet to be fulfilled.
We know that God is light, and in Him is
no darkness at all (I John i, 50, and dark
ness is suggestive of evil and of satan (I
Thess. v, 5; Eph. v, 8; Col. i, 13; Jude vi,
13). Even the sun refused io look upon
such a scene as its Creator suffering for
me sins oi men.

HLiu uunigs oi nerou ana dilate and the

are but seven sayings of Christ recorded
in tne wnoie iour gospels, and they seem
to have been in the following order : Luke
xxiii, 34, 43; John xix, 27; Math, xxvii,
16; John xix, 28, 30; Luke xxiii, 46. One
sueeests that thev tell ns of His lnm fnr
sinners, receiving the penitent, caring for
our neeu, tne aeptn oi ills sunerings, His
thirst for souls, the boundless word, the tri
umph of faith. Another has said concern
ing them that they are deeper than the sea,
higher than the heaven, brighter than the
sun, and need not the lamplight of our
explanation. Concerning the one in our
lesson some refuse to believe that He was
forsaken and 6ay that He only felt like it
because the agony was so great. My only
answer is that He was the Truth, and He
always spoke the truth.
47-49. His saying was about as well un
derstood as many of His sayings were by
His own disciples. He was talking to God,
His Father, and they thought He was call
ing for Elias. Not much worse than when
speaking to His disciples of the false doc
trine of the Pharisees they thought that
He was speaking of bread for the body.
50. "Jesus, -when He had cried again
with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost."
In verse 46, as well as here, Matthew
speaks of His crying with a loud voice.

ness of a dying moment under such awful
circumstances, Dut ramer coniirm tils
words elsewhere: "No one taketh My life
from Me. I lay it down of Myself." Somo
say that He died not because of the suffer
ings of crucifixion, but because of a bro
ken heart, which was made manifest when
the blood and water flowed from His 6ide.
It is finished. He is dead. His body is left
for Joseph and Nicodemus to lay kindly
away. He committed His Spirit unto His
Father, and to His Father He went and
very soon welcomed the redeemed one from
the cross next' to His own. Where are
they? What is it like? Why does no one
come back to tell us more about it?
Blessed are they that have not seen, yet
have believed that to die is gain, to de
part and be with Christ is far better.

decorous enough, but when it came to
hose he turned an effulgent fancy loose,
and the result was fearful and wonder
ful Friends said, "Where on earth
does he get the atrocious things?" and
his wife cajoled, ridiculed and threaten
ed and even wept in vain. On the mat
ter of neckties he might give in, but
when it came to hose he was as ada
mant Now, however, he is a reformed
character, and this is the way it came
about:
One day he received word that a syn
dicate was to meet in Cleveland which
would affect his business interests vital
ly. His presence might swing thiDgs his
way, but there was hardly time to make
the trip. By close figuring on time ta
bles he found that if he could make an
exceedingly close connection in Chicago
he could reach Cleveland in time for
the meeting. He telephoned home for
his grip and took the night train.
The train was due in Chicago at 7
o'clock in the morning. About 6:30 the
Minneapolis man wakened and was be
ginning to dress when the porter stuck
a scared face through the curtains.
"Foh de Lawd's eake, suh!" he said,
rolling his eyes wildly.
"What's the matter, John?" Mr.
Smith inquired, nonchalantly fasten
ing his suspenders.
" 'Deed, suh, I dnnno how it happen
ed." "What happened?"
The porter backed away as if he ex
pected Smith to hit out from the shoul
der. "I tuk yoh shoes, suh, to shine 'em,
an I went out on de platfohm, an 1 done
lost 'em off'n de cyah. "
Smith sat up suddenly and cracked
his head against the upper berth. That
didn't make him feel better.
"Why, you bullet headed idiot," he
shouted, "what do you snppose I'm go
ing to do without shoes?"
The porter cringed in contrition.
"Why, son, I'll go out'n procuah yoh
some direckly we arrive in de city."
"But I haven't got time to wait. I've
got to make close connections."
The porter looked worried. Then ho
brightened up.
"Ef I cud make so bold as tr nfFnh
dem, suh, yoh cud heve my shoes foh de
time oein.
He pulled off a shoe as he spoke, and
Smith tried to cut it on. It w tnn
small by several sizes, and as th fnli
awkwardness of the situation dawned
on him he gave vent to remarks that
were more forcible than elegant. He
couldn't miss that meeting, though. It
meant thousands of dollars to. him Of
course he could take a cab at the station
in Chicago, but he would have to go out
to the cab. He looked A nwn at Vila hnco

For the first time in his life he thought
iney looted too gay. He had been proud
of those socks. They were turquoise

hesitated because he thought they seem

loudly.

distinguished looking gentleman of 40
walking shoeless thronch the Rtt.inn
and displaying a most gorgeous pair of
socks to the Raze of the mnltitndo Th
multitude appreciated it and showed
ineir appreciation in facetious remarks.
Smith broke into a r.nld norBnirat-inn
and wondered whether $100,000 was
worth the agony, but he reached the
street and hid himself in a cab. During
the ride he amused himself by thinking
of the wrath to come when he should
reach the other station. It occurred to
him that he'would send some one in to
buy his ticket and then would sprint
for the train, but there wasn't a minute
to lose. There wouldn't be time for any
one to bring a ticket back to him.
Once more he graced himself for the
ordeal and emerged into publio view.
By the time he reached the ticket office
he had a crowd following him, and as
he moved toward the wicket the excite
ment swelled to tremendous proportions.
Publio opinion was unanimous and
openly expressed : The man was crazy 1
Some one ought to. look after him 1
The gatekeeper stopped him, and a
burly policeman loomed up and showed
an inclination to arrest him. Smith ex
plained desperately, tying bis sentences
into knots and justifying the theory of
insanity, but he prevailed upon the offl.
cials and fled down the platform to the
parlor car, where he took refuge in the
stateroom and made the-air blue deep

the obnoxious socks.
Then be took the porter into his con

was sent to the friend, telling him to
meet tbe train with a pair of men's

and was royally rewarded, and Smith
arrived at the syndicate meeting in all

THE BIGGEST BEEHIVE.
California Cnrlaatty Gaaad mX
potrnl DUUm.
Did yon ever see a bee tree, with a
Bwara of bees around it? WelL
fy thia about 10,000 time, and yoa will
ave Bght idea of natural beehive
in Mendocino ooontT. Cat It ia a Hfk
in the face of a cliff, and tradition baa
it that there is a large cave on tb in
side, where the myriads of busy InaecU
make their homes.
This great natural acrioaity la knows
to residents of the adjaoent country as
"Bee flock," and tbey have grown to
look upon it as a commonplace when
in reality it is the only beehive of the
kind in existence.
There is no danger of a peraon getting
very near to this natural beehive with
out knowing it, for at all boon of the
day a swarm of insects hover about
eral hundred feet ia all direction An
incessaut, maddening buz fills the air
that caa be beard an eighth of . mLU
and serves as a warning not to venture
too near. But men do venture near aft
er having first put on a suit of leather
clothing, fastened a mask of wire icttcq
around their hat brim and lighted a
good, big torch. These precautions are
absolutely necessary.
It takes nerve to approach close to the
opening in the rock, and tbe experience
is a never to be forgotten ona Bees to
the number of millions of millions will
light on tbe intruder, humming fiend
ishly and endeavoring to iting him to
death. Tbey form a perfect cloud and
the air is filled with a fetid mll and .
fine dust that gets through the wire
screen and causes an irritation to the
eyes. The tiny insects really ahow aigns
of viciousnesa and fly into the flame of
tbe torch in countless numbers as
though they intended to extinguish it
Round and round they fly with a deaf
ening buzz, and strong lndfi is the
man wno can stand the onslaught of the
tiny foes for more than a few minute.
It is almost impossible to make out
just whore the entrauce to this natural
beehive is. There is a sort of cavern in
the cliff that seems to have a crack
through the inner wall from top to bot
tom, but most of the bees hover sronnd
a hole about 18 inches wide and appear
to make that tho point of ingress and
ogress. Many days it is impossible to
even see the cliff, so thickly coven-d is
it with tbe insects, and they roll in and
out of the opening like a stream of mo
lasses.
During the summer dead birds can al
ways be seen on the ground around th
mouth of the hive. Thry have been
stung to death while attempting to fly
through the 6warm of insect Four foot
ed creatures never venture within half
a mile, seeming to know that death
lurks there. In front of tbe mouth of
the hive there is a pile of dried honey
that has flowed from the interior. It
looks like a heap of molten lava that
has been hardened after being discharg
ed from a volcano.
A party of men living in tbe vicinity
ciaim to nave entered tho beehive sev
eral years ago. They selected a cold day
in winter, when the beos were half dor
mant, and poured coal oil and benzine
around and into the opening. Then they
made a big fire of wood, so that the
whole cavern was filled with flames.
Then they poked tbe redbot embers
down into tbe opening and so killed ev
ery bee in it.
But there was not much to see after
the men got inside; only a large cave,
with the walls covered with wax and
dried hooey, and enough of the sweet
ness in pools in the bottom to last a big
city for several years. Of course tho
honey was unfit for use on account of
being full of dead bees and ashes from
the fire. The men, however, did nut
linger in the cave any great length of
time, as it was foul smelling and ti
fling. Although countless millions of
bees must have been destroyed on this
occasion, tbe next summer tbey were as
numerous as ever and just as viciou
Indiana of the neighborhood say that
in "tbe good old days " tbe bad men of
their tribe were bound baud and foot
and carried to within a short distance of
the beehive by men wrapped in blan
keta. There the helpless creature were
left to suffer tbe awfnl agony of being
stung to death. San Francisco Call.
A King- Killed by a Hr Boo.
The king who died in this house was
that young Dane wbo appears to have
been an incarnation of tho ideal Danish
brutality. He dragged his brother's body
out of its grave aud flung it into the
Thames, he massacred the people of
Worcester and ravaged the shire, and he
did these brave deeds and many others
all in two short year Then be went to
bis own plaoe. His departure was both
fitting and dramatic He went across
the river to attend the wedding of his
standard bearer, Tostig the Proud, with
Goda, daughter of the Thane Osgod
Clapa.
A Danish wedding was always an oc
casion for hard drinking. When men
were well drunken, tbe pleasing sport
of bone throwing began. Tbey threw
the boues at each other. The fuu of tbe
game consisted in tbe accident of a man
not being able to dodge tbe bone which
btrac mm ana probably killed him.
Archbishop Alphege was thus killed.
The soldiers bad no special desire to kill
tbu old man. Why couldn't be enter
into the spirit of the game and dodge
the bones? As be did not, of coarse he
was hit, and as the bone was a big and
a heavy bone of course it split open his
skull.
One may be permitted to think that
perhaps King Hardicanute, who is said
to have fallen down suddenly when be
"stood up to drink," did actually inter
cept a big beef bone which- knocked him
down, aud as he remained comatose un
til be died the proud Tostig, unwilling
to huve it said that even in sport bis
king had beon killed at his wedding,
pave out that the king fell down in a fit.
This, bowevet, is speculation. Sir Wal
