He is a brilliant man but there
is nothing pyrotechnic about him.
He presents his facts without un

His intellect is vigorous, his

a close student of political history,

the imitation of every youth in

of hate and scorn of scorn for op

love of love for all that is honest,
pure, generous and true, he has
labored diligently to inculcate
these principles into the minds
and hearts of others. He seems
to possess a special strength, a

men and to Peter, and in the af-
ternoon while two of the disciples
were on their wav to the town of
Emmaus, Jesus joins them. He is
not recognized until they sit down
to the evening meal together.
Then He disappears and the aston
ished disciples hasten back to Je
rusalem, and tell their story to the
others. At this point the lesson
of today begins.
LESSON STORY.
Ten of the disciples are together I
on Sunday evening. I he doors
are closed for fear of the Jews.
Jesus appears and salutes them.
He convinces them of his identity
and they are glad. He then
speaks peace to them, communi
cates his Spirit to them, instructs
them concerning their mission to
the world, and lays upon them
heavy responsibilities. They are
to be his representatives.
The ten disciples tell Thomas
about their vision of Jesus. Thom
as declines to accept their testi
mony, and declares that nothing
less than the testimony of his own
i ,
suffice to overcome
Uoo.. and greets them with the
rammar saiuiauou. x nomas is
present. Jesus addresses himself
directly to Thomas, calling upon
him to test the vision in order that
he may overcome his unbelief.
This draws from Thomas a notable
confession of faith. Jesus then
pronounces his blessing on those
who shall believe without such sen
suous evidence.
LESSON ILLUMINED
The disciples are struggling be
tween hope and despair, between
light and darkness, and now light
comes to them. Dr. Cuyler says:
T once ascended Mt. Washing
ton with a party of friends on
horseback, and we were overtaken
by a violent storm, followed by a
thick, blinding mist. After our
rough scramble over slippery
rocks it was a woeful disappoint
ment to find on our arrival at the
Tip-top House," that we could
not see any object two rods from
the door. But late in the after
noon the clouds began to roll way,
and one mountain after another re
vealed itself to our view.

Reach and See. H. N. Stanley
went to search Africa for Living
stone and afterward said:
T went to Africa as prejudiced
against religion as the worst infi
del in London. To a reporter like
myself, who had only to deal with
wars, mass-meetings and political
gatherings, sentimental matters
were quite out of my province.
But there came to me a long time
reflection. I was out there away
from the worldly world. I saw
this solitary old man there, and I
asked myself: 'Why does he stop
here in such a place? What is it
that inspires him?' For months
after we met I found myself listen
mg to him, wondering at the old
man carrying out tne words.
'Leave all, and follow me.' But
seeing his piety, his gentleness, his
zeal, his earnestness, and how lie
went quietly about his business, I
was converted by him, although he
had not tried in any way to do it."
WHAT OTHERS SAY.
This interview, the crown of the
appearance on roaster lay, is an
interview with the assembled body
of disciples, whom the Lord in
vests with a sacred mission, As
my Father hath sent me, even so
send I you;" equips them with the
needed power, ' Receive ye the
fioly Ghost;" and unfolds to them
the solemn issues of their work.
Here we have the great thought
hat every Christian man and wo-
- a mt
man is sent by jesus. mere is
no question here of the preroga
tive of a class, nor of the functions
of an order; it is a question of the
universal aspect of the Christian
lfe in its relation to the Master
who sends, and the world into
which it is sent.
The work of Jesus Christ is con
tinued by his servants. Our Lord
here presents the thought that his
work continues during the ages.
and is now being wrought through
hi: servants. We Christian men
and women do not understand our
function in the world, unless we
have realized this: 4 'Now, then
we are ambassadors for Christ,"
and his interests and his work are
intrusted to our hands. Maclaren.
The worst thing a man can do
when disbelief or doubt shrouds
his sky and blots out the stars, is to
go away alone and shut himself up
with his own morbid thoughts.
The best thing he can do is to go
amongst his fellows. If a fire is
going out, draw the dying coals to
gether, and they will make each
other break into a flame. One
great reason for some of the less
favorable features that modern
Christianity presents, is that men
are beginning to think less than
they ought to do, of the obligation
and blessing of gathering together
for the worship of God. Maclaren.
At the very time when our Lord
is pleased to convince his doubting
follower of the reality of his sa
cred body, of his perfect humanity,
the apostle so pre-eminently recog
nizes his Lord's divinity. With
evidence the most distinct that he
whom he was permitted to touch
was man, the convinced disciple,
in terms most explicit, .declares
him to be God. EUicott.
This was a rare and memorable
hour for Thomas. He is carried
entirely out of himself, and sees
nothing but his Lord. The pas
sion of joy with which he regains
in a transfigured form his lost
Leader absorbs him quite: "He
had lost a possible king of the
Jews; he finds his Lord and bis
God." He can but utter his sur
prise, his iby, and his worship in
the cry, My Lord and my God."
Dods.
