"The ,ds would have us to visit freely your ibitations and show you how to pre 'nt the pestilences which dei lur your imbers." This program was vociferously ac aimed; but Croft's experience of na ves was too wide to allow of reliance jon ' their momentary enthusiasm, lashing a stern glance around, he fed them Into silence. "If all this Is done peacefully," he mtinued, in threatening tones, "ye tall rest in safety. But if again your ands^ are lifted against us. your nlies shall be burned afresh with blue re-devils f , Your women shall he ?tin; your little ones thrown to the arks.' The wrath of your god will bring down," waving his hand threat ulngly skyward, "and turn you Into ?rtured slaves. If ever again ye molest ie great white chief or his wife!" Kear overawed the natives' en msiiism, They fell on their faces Pi in. babbling incoherently of obedl ice and mercy. He motioned them to Se; then he drew back, satisfied.

The old man wed fo>vard the crowd of faces, etching/ in tense apprehension: AH are tare. O Mighty Chief." Cpon this arose a chorus of di? fntient cries, mixed with shouts of Meama:v !> Meamaa!" The natives resse .urge. O Chief! It Is again the house of Roowa! Let the great 'lie chief save us from the scourge, 'he Sacrifice of the Full Moon to [Kht??* ptoowa uttered a great cry, and fell Ms knees before Croft, eyes w^ld. 1155 outstretched, babbling protesta J'ns and pitiful -supplications. |The white man fully realized the Pftiaess of these fellows, also tbe l"?-ary of his own position, with the r essity of causing no offense In this 1 action as overlord. Hl? face set (hs most determined. Impenetrable es; his eyes flashed round on all eseat, inspiring fear in the hearts of those upon whom they occasionally tested. Recognizing at last the man he sought, he motioned him forward. Larger than most, more brutal of countenance, Barbara quickly recog nized her late pursuer. .. "What h he called?" Croft demanded of Chimabflhoi. , { "Babooma, O Greatest of Chiefs!" The two faen regarded each other silently; and in the look of the native Croft recognized hatred and defiance, in spite of the fear lurking in the bold eyes which met his own. A dull murmur arose, in which his ear was quick to note hostility. The old chiefs face was full of anxiety as he.'stepped forward, pulling his beard nervously. "Few have so straight an aim as Babooma, Great Chief. He is of kin to my house. He will become chief in my stead. Many." he added in a low voice, "would have him now; for I am old and my heart is dead with my ions." "He hath not found favor in 'ray sight,'\ replied the gods' messenger curtly, frowning upon the wretch, whose expression of defiance was rap idly fading. "He hath raised his eyes and his hand to the white chiefs wife!" he thundered,, glaring ferociobsly at the now trembling figure. Like a sudden breeze rippling over a group of poplars, a breath of fear swept across the listening crowd. Ba booma began a stream of gabbling pro test : he was unaware of the sinfulness of his action; he had not seen the great chief nor heard of his mission from the gods; It, was the Vow. ... ( Croft waved hlra' away. , "Thou knowest now. Take heed, over-hold one!" Then he turned to Roowa. still on Ids knees in despair. "Roowa," he asked, "thou iovest thy little ones?" "A-aa! As myself. Mighty Chief!" The look in his eyes touched Bar bara. It was another glimpse into a human soul, although as yet slie under stood nothing of his trouble. ; "It Is well. Take heart, Roowa! My will Is not" to offer up thy sick babe; but to go with thee now to thy hut, and, perchance, cure the child." The joy which transfigured the na tive's face was indescribable. Upon the dismissal of the tribe, he led the visitors to his hut. incoherent In his excitement. As Croft had guessed, the child only suffered from fever, needing more air and cleanliness?the filth and stench being abominable. Ordering thdse necessities, he produced from his pockets one of his fever antidotes, Meamaa watching him In terrified be wilderment ; then he precipitately pushed Barbara out into the fresh air again. The feast, to which they were now led, was spread upon the ground in an open space between the huts and the lagoon. Only the men squatted round to eat. the women?occupying a lower position?waited upon them, with the pleasant expectation of finishing their leavings. ( At the end of the feast the pair be came aware that all eyes were fastened on them. The sun had set. ,The sacri fice must be decided upon. An air of anxiety, of strained expectation, was manifest. Croft's wits had not been slumbering. "Qur gods have toJd me." he Informed Chlmnbahol confidentially, "that thy god, Bnlhuaka, doth not hunger for the flesh of man this mooi\; neither doth he desire fish or bird to be offered unto him. H^vdesireth to taste the dishes thou hast prepared for those who have sailed here from the skies.' All that we have left uneaten shalt thou collect, therefore, and offer unto him. It Is food tabu to those sent by the gods: therefore doth he require It beyond "all other food." , This distinct greediness seemed more In character with a peevish child than a celestial being; but to Chlmahaho! It appeared natural enough. He con) muntcated the decision to the tribe, which showed vociferously its unmis takable relief. The ambrosial remains were there fore gathered together and placed in receptacles of plaited reeds. Lighted reeong Jagged flame leapt up . . ? Hen another, and an other. . . Tbt beacon was on fire. She gazed at It, fascinated. What did It mean? Rescue at last? The rescue for which they bad looked, and longed, and lived, all the*e weeks and months Suddenly. Hke a heavy cloak, all the previous excitement and exultation fell from her. A feeling as of a cold wind, full of vague foreboding, chilled her heart i? that warm evening air. Anyway, both man and woman now have the eamo thought* and feelings. What next?

THE JUDGMENT OF THE NATIONS LESSON TEXT?Matt: 25:31-46. GOLDEN TEXT?"Inasmuch as y have done It unto one of the least of thea? my brethren, ye have done It unto Me."?Matt. 25:40. PRIMARY TOPIC?Kindness Pleases. JUNIOR TOPIC?Christ's Picture of the Judgments INTERMEDIATE A'ND SENIOR TOPIC?Christ's Picture^ of Judgment. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC ?Practical Christianity. The subject selected by the lesson committee is "The Last Judgment," but this Is an error. * According to legitimate textual and contextual sig nification it is the judgment of the living nations which still lies in the future (v. 32). The Idea of a general judgment which Is of such frequent occurrence In religious literature and teaching Is a fundamental error. It is not once found In the Bible, neither the idea whieh It 1b Intended to con vey. Doctor Pentecost most truthful ly says, "It is a mischievous habit that has led the Christian world to speak of the judgment as being one great event taking place at the end of the world when all human beings, saints and sinners, Jews and Gentiles, the living and the dead, shall stand up be fore the great white throne and there "be judged. Nothing can be more wide of the Scriptures." The Llble speaks of several judgments, different in re spect to the subjects to be judged, the place of judgment, the time of Judgment and the result of Judgment. I. The Judge (v. 31). It Is the Son of God who came and died to redeem the humfln race. He Is now seen clothed with majesty and power sitting upon His throne acting as Judge. Those who accept Jesus Christ now as their Savior shall not come into Judgment (John 5:24). II. The Time (v. 31). This Judgment will take place when the Lord comes In His glory accom panied with a retinue of glorious angels. This will take place after He has gathered the elect remnant of Is rael. There will be no resurrection In connection with this Judgment. III. The Place (v. 31). I The prophecy pf Joel, the third chap ter, and Zecharlah 14:1-5, show that It Is to be In or near Jerusalem. The angel said to Mary, "Thou shalt call His name Jesus. He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David. And he shall rfelgn over the house of Jacob forever; and of His kingdom there shall be no end." (Luke 1:31-33). As David was a literal king and reigned in a literal place, there shall be a literal Judge occupying a literal place of judgment. IV. The People Judged (vv. 32-45). These will be the living nations upon earth after the church has been translated (I Thess. 4:16, 17). These are nations to whom the gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached ^just prior to the coming of the end. "And this gospel- of the kingdom shall be preached In all the world for a witness ( unto all nations; and then ghall the end come.'' (Matt. 32:14). This gos pel Is distinct from the grace of God, which is now being preached. The preachers of this gospel will be the Jews (see Revelation 7 and Romans 11). These are the brethren of the Lord In tfce flesh who move among the nations of the world with the startling message of the news of the Lord's approaching kingdom. Some of the nations will gladly receive the message and kindly receive the king dom messengers, giving them clothing, food, shelter, etc. Others will perse cute them, thrustlhg them Into prison. Here the first will visit the messengers of the Kinc and provide for their wants. At this time the Judge will separate the nations, placing the sheep on the right 'apd the goats on the left hand. The sheep are those who have given proper treatment to Christ's brethren. The gpats are those who rejected and mistreated his brethren. If these three classes, the sheep, the goats and the brethren be kept sep arate, all confusion will be avoided.' V. The Issue of the Judgment (v. 46; Cf. vv. 34-41). 1. The Sheep Entering into the In heritance of a Prepared Kingdom. 2. The Goats Going into Everlast ing Fire Prepared for the Devil-and His Angels (v. 46). This Judgment shall determine their destiny.
