THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
WESSON I, FOURTH QUARTER, INTER
NATIONAL SERIES, OCT. 2.
Text of the Lesson, II Chron. xIt, S-ia.
Memory Tersea, 2-5 Golden Text, II
Chron. xlT, 11 Commentary by the Eer.
2. "And Asa did thAt i.i. .
nnd right In the eyes of the Lord bis God."
Last quarter was spent chiefly with the
prophets Elijah and Elisha, men of God
and nnv va am t-n . '
.. U19 k, nave several lessons on
fuf 8ho were men of God- Asa was the
third king of Judah after the kingdom
was divided at the death of Solomon, and
w uo ngnt in the sight of the
Lord. This statement is made concerning
seven other kings of Judah, bat not once
concerning any of the kings of the ten
tribes. The throne was called the throne
of the Lord, or the throne of the kingdom
of the Lord over Israel, and the king was
said to bo king for the Lord his God (I
Chron. xxlx. 23: xxviiL ti- tt
ix, 8). '
8. "Ho took awav the altars nf tk.
strange gods. ' Although the Jaw of God
said, "Thoa shalt have no otter gods be
fore me" (EX. XX, 8). vet Solnmnn In.
troduced many strange gods to please his
wives, and beth Rehoboam and Abijnh
uuuniuueu me iaoi worship. It Is diffioult
to go against the customs of your father
and grandfather, but Asa feared God rath
er than man and was determined to do
right before Him. -
4. "And commanded Judah to seek the
Lord God of their fathers. " In vnrw 8
and 4 of the next chapter we read that
israei had been for a lone season wlthnnft
the true God, and without a teaching priest,
unu wiinout law, Dut when they turned
to the Lord and sought Him He was found
of them. In verses 12 and 15 we read that
they sought Him with all their heart and
soul, even with their whole desire, and He
gave them rest round about. The Lord
takes heed to our hearts rather than our
words and will fulfill the desire of them
that fear Him.
5. "The kingdom was quiet before
him." Verse 1 says, "In his days the land
was quiet ten years. ' ' Quietness is one of
the great gifts of God which shall yet be
fully enjoyed not only by all Israel but by
all the world, when "the work of right
eousness shall be peace, and the effect (or
servioe) of righteousness shall be quietness
and assurance forever" (Isa. xxxii, 17). In
quietness and in confidence is strength,
and the ornament of a meek and quiet
spirit is in the sight of God of great price
(Isa. xxx, 15; I Pet. Hi, 4).
6. "The land had rest, because the Lord
had given him rest." In Joshua xxiii, 1, it
is writton that the Lord had given rest
unto Israel from all their enemies. In I
Chron. xxii, 9, the Lord had told David
that his son Solomon (peaceable) would be
a man of rest and that Israel would enjoy
peace and quietness in his days. Lamech
said concerning his son, "This shall com
fort us concerning our work," and so he
called him Noah 1. e., rest or oomfort.
The earliest rest is that of Gen. ii, 3,
which was broken by the devil doubting
God's word and God's love, and thus he
still seeks to break all rest.
7. "Because we have sought tbri Lord
our God He hath given us rest on every
side." When Solomon was about to build
the temple, he said to Hiram, "The Lord
my God hath given me rest on every side,
6o that there is neither adversary nor evil
occurrent" (I Kings v, 4). The rest of
the kingdom that is coming will be glori
ous (Isa. xl, 10), or, as in the margin,
glory. Even now He says, "Come unto
Me, and I will give you rest," and "When
Ho giveth quietness, who then can make
trouble?" (Math, xi, 88; Job xxxiv, 29.)
When, even in our ordinary daily affairs,
we allow the government to be upon His
shoulder and the peace of God to rule (Isa.
ix, 7; Col. iii, 15), we will have a glorious
foretaste of the rest of the kingdom. Some
say that they seek Him yet do not seem to
find Him as their rest, but it must be that
they do not seek Him with the whole
heart (Jer. xxix, 13).
8-10. The adversary will not allow us to
rest if he can help it, so here we have over
a million of Ethiopians gathered against
Asa in battle, and he has but little over
half as many with which to meet them
Wars will not wholly cease from the earth
until the devil is cast into the lake of fire
at the end of the thousand years (Rev. xx,
7-10), for, while the millennium will be a
time of peace, it will end with a great
war. Israel had no reason to fear her ene
mies, however numerous, for the promise
of Uodr was that one should chase a thou
sand and two put 10,000 to flight. The
deliverance from Egypt and the conquest
of the Canaanites, with the many deliver
a noes and victories in the days of the
Judges and in the time of David, would
strengthen the hands of any one who
feared God. David could say, "I will not
be afraid of ten thousands of people that
have set themselves against me ronnd
about." "-Though a host should encamp
against me, my heart shall not fear" (Ps.
iii, 6; xxvii, 3; xlvi, 1, 2).
11. "And Asa cried unto the Lord bis
God and said, Lord, it is nothing with
Thee to help, whether with many or with
them that have no power. " Jonathan 6aid
to his armor bearer, "It may be that the
Lord will work for us, for there is no re
straint to the Lord to save by many or by
few" (I Sam. xiv, 6). . The greatest hin
drance to the Lord's work is generally our
fancied strength or wisdom, and there is
no proverb, much more nnscriptural than
this, that God helps those who help them
selves. In the matter of salvation it is
only the lost and helpless and ungodly
for whom it is provided, and it has been
provided wholly by our Lord Jesus Christ
and is given freely to every penitent sin
ner. In the daily life for God it is God
who works all our works in us and for us
(Isa. xxvi, 12). He delivers the needy, the
poor also and him that hath no helper
(Ps. lxxii, 12). When Gideon had only
82,000 men against an innumerable host,
the Lord said to him; " The people that are
with thee are too many, lest Israel vaunt
themselves against me, saying, Mine own
band hath saved me" (Judg. vii, 2)
God must be glorified in all things, and no
Jlesh dare presume to glory in His presence
(I Cor. i, 29, 31; Isa. if, 11, 17, 22). If we
are living in the name of the Lord and
seeking only His glory, no man or demon
can prevail against us or even touch us
without God's permission.
12. "So the Lord smote the Ethiopians
before Asa and before Judah." Tboy were
destroyed before the Lord and before His
host (verse 13). Yet when the king of
Israel came against Asa in the thirty -sixth
year of his reign he forgot this great dellv
erance and relied on the king of Syria
rather than upon God, and when rebuked
for it he grew angry with tne Lora s serv
ant and put him in prison (chapter xvi)
So prone are we to forget God and to lean
upon an arm of flesh instead of patting
oar whole trust in the Lord! Blessed are
11 they thai trust in Him (Ps. ii, 12).

The dew on hia wings lay wet.
And th voice of hia wistful greeting
Waa weary with old regret.

A flower, that bears no thorn,

He left me to toil forlorn.
And now, in life's quiet evening.
When long are the shadows cast.

He has saved from a hungry past.
And into my heart, unquestioned,
I take him to rest at last.

A SECRET KEPT.
"Why, sister, isn't this our birth
day?"
"Yes, I suppose it is."
"I declare, it completely slipped my
mind, so much happening. I never failed
before to star up a cake. Did yon re
member it?"
"On, yes, I remembered it I couldn't
well forget it with such a fine present
coming to us.
The sisters were sitting on either side
of a wide, open fire in high back chairs.
So exactly alike were they in form and
feature and dress that onlv one who
knew them well could have told them
apart.
Their fingers were busy with knit
ting. Jane's work was a scarlet and
orange afghan. Ha da was rounding off
tne toe oi a pair of gray woolen stock
ings. In the center of the room by the claw
legged table a young girl sat, apparent
ly reading, though her eyes rested on
the two figures before the fire.
"What present did you get, Jane?"
Hulda stopped her work and looked
over her glasses. Jane smiled and nod
ded her head toward the young girl
seated by the table.
The tall clock that stood on the wind
ng staircase at the end of the lona
drawing room struck 1. The three start
ed and looked around, and the girl
threw down her book and sprang to her
feet, laughing.
"Old Father Time has come to life,"
she said. "He objects to our being so
quiet Come, Aunt Hulda; let us do
something to celebrate Aunt Jane's
birthday. Aunt Jane, what shall we do
to celebrate Aunt Hulda's birthday?"
The eyes of the two elder ladies were
still fixed on the clock, and they made
no answer. The girl came and stood on
the hearth rug, and, stooping, took
Jane's face between her small, plump
hands and kissed her. Then, catching
up the afghan, she ran down the room
and up the stair and threw it over the
face of the clock. The sisters laughed
merrily.
"That was the hour we two came
into the world," said Hulda. "You
can't say but it was rather startling to
have the old clock ring out that hour.
It hasn't made a move to my knowledge
since you went away, Amy. "
"Oh, well, it just happened. Aunt
Hulda," Amy answered, with the hap
py carelessness of youth. "Besides, it
isn't 1 o'clock now. It is only 7:80. "
She danced across the room and seated
herself at the piano. ""Come. Aunt
Jane; let us sing something."
"Why. child, I can't sing."
"You used to sing beautifully. "
"I'm afraid you forget that we've
grown old since you went away. Peo
ple don't sing much as a rule when
they are 60."
The girl wheeled about on the music
stool and shook her finger at the cov
ered clock.
"You have done this," she said.
'You pretended to be sitting up there
doing nothing all these years, but
you've proved tonight that you're up to
your old tricks, running away with the
years. "
The sisters laughed again.
"Ton nsed to stand and talk to that
clock when you didn't come up to the
drops of the weights. Amy," said
Hulda.
" We've a long account to settle,"
Amy answered, shaking her head. "To
come home and find you both so quiet
and complaining of growing old, when
we used to have such good times. Shall
1 get some knitting and sit down in the
corner and grow old too?" -
Hulda rolled up her work and stood
up.
"I suppose we do seem changed,
child, " she said anxiously. "What can
we do to amuse her, Jane?"
"We might dance the minuet" said
Jane, standing by her sister's sida
"That used to amuse her greatly when
she was a child. "
"Oh, do, "cried Amy. "I'd forgot
ten about your doing that "
She turned to the piano and began
the stately musio of the minuet Dain
tily the two little old ladies stepped for
ward in time to the music. Their small
faces at first were grave with the desire
to please, but presently the melody en
tered their hearts. Their faces lost the
dull line of years and shone with the
pleasure of youth.
Jane's hair fell out of coil and hung
in soft silver curls about her face. Hul
da picked up her skirts .and tripped air
ily away, showing her trim little feet
in blue embroidered slippers.
" You do it even better than you used
to, : Amy cried, clapping her hands as
the musio ' came to an end. "I never
saw any one more graceful and pretty
than you two are. Sixty isn't old.
Why, you could go to Washington and
be the belles of the season yet if you
only wanted to. You have just staid
here in the country, and you haven't
any idea how lovely you are. "
, The sisters looked at each other and
smiled. Jane dipped her hand into
Hulda's.
' We haven't been discontented, or 1
suppose we would have made a venture
put into the world," she said.
"I wish you would make a venture
this winter." said Amy seriously.

solemn here, and yon know I haven't

"We might recite her some of the
plays, Hulda," said Jane.
"What plays?" asked Amy eagerly.
"Yea, I'm sure that would auiuse
her, " said Hulda. "I hope you don't
think, Amy, that we are women who
settle down and spend all our time and
mind on our work?"
The two left the room, and Amy waa
presently surprised by their returning

years of their solitndo and leisure in
learning from beginning to cud a num

amusement had bought several chest cf

We'll send a lot of invitations and hav
the gayest home party that was ever

To this plan Hulda and Jane gave
slow consent.
A month later every guest chamber
in the fine old country boost' was tvu
pied. The news of his t.ist.r wonder
ful accomplishments drew the beloved
brother in Washington to tho homo he
had not visited for 20 years.
They were mostly the brother's
friends and Amy's, who r.i.-vle tbt place
gay with laughter and ui.
But ono room wua reserved for a
guest whom Hulda and June bnd spe
cially invited. It was late cu evening
after all the others had rftm-d that he
arrived. Amy was greatly arnufed and
surprised the next morning when sh.
met on the stair one of tho mar.i
neighbors an old gentleman who lived
just across the country nmiL
"Why, Mr. Weston." she eicUiin.-d.
"Are you the guest of honor?"
He was a tall, hand.somo man, with
a most dignified bearing.
"I've always U-en an honored fjrtet.t
in this house." ho replied, holding out
his hand. "The girls thought I couldn't
really be one of the party unless I oIowmI
ray bonse and came over beg nnd

just keeping it to yourself, let th-m
think I'm a dignitary from wuue remote
quarter of the globe, and they will ap
preciate me, but if they know I'm John
Weston, who livt acrn the road. I'll
figure for -a simpleton."
"No, indeed, you wouldn't, " Amy
laughed. "You'll be tho life of tho
party. I hoped you'd couio over every
day, as you always do, but it will be so
much nicer to have you in the house."
Half an hour later, when tho merry
party had gathered at the brvakfast ta
ble, the guest of honor was presented
No one had ever a truer gift of conver
sation than John Weston. He naturally
assumed the position of his long friend
ship with the family, and it was noticed
that Hulda and Jane deferred to him in
all things, as though they were used to
depending on his judgment.
The following day it was rumored
that the sisters intended giving the
cony scene from "Romeo nnd Juliet"
in their first appearauce 'before their
guesta
Amy had been out sleighing all tho
afternoon with a number of the young
people and had not known that her
aunts intended representing these ju
venile lovers. The drawing room was
being set in readiness for the amuse
ment when the party returned.
John Weston, acting as stago archi
tect, was banging a Minted screen
against the winding staircase. "I'll
have to run over home and get my
screen with the woodbine," ho was
saying to tho man who was assisting
him.
There was a burst of merry laughter
in the doorway.
"Oh, Mr. Weston, what are yon do
ing?" Amy exclaimed, running for
ward, "Aunt Jane and Aunt Hulda
surely can't act Romeo and Juliet. "
"Can't they? Wait till you see them
try it You heard me say that I live
across the road, didn't you?" he added,
smiling at the young people who bad
followed Amy into the room. "Well,
we need both bouses to circle round in
any way. "
With a girl on each arm John Weston
presently went down the snowbeaten
path and across the road to his own
home among the evergreens.
"I asked Amy who lived here the
other day," said one of the girls, "and
she said, 'An old gentleman, who spent
all his time with his books.' I've been
so interested wondering what you were
like. What made you keep it secret
that yon lived here?"
"Oh, Just for sport 1 didn't really
expect to be able to keep it all through
the month. "
"But this is such a beanrifr.l home."

"I'll rae the party," said John
