We can almost ?f;c them rooting themselves like etorm-defving oaks, and opposing the ix;cial corslets of Christ's foes with the breastplate of their invulnerable affection. Ve can almost ee them converting Geth semane into a Gibraltar of affection, and shattering the onset of embittered perse cution upon the impregnable front of a devotion that was stronger than death. We arc well nigh envious of their oppor tunity of renown. The possibility of such loyalty ha 3 not yet passed away, it has not yet become im possible for one to show a stalwart alle giance to Jesus Christ in the face of con tempt and antffonism. ''They are not yet dead that Sk the younst child's life." Christ decs not recede with the ebb of passing years. The men of His age are deening in their sepulehers. The iirst element of heart failure is dis appointment. The apostles had a very well defined theory as to what Christ had come to do Tor thero. but they had thought very little of v!ur they were to do for Him. They had a clear conception of the prere quisite of discipleship. They were deeply concerned as to the pattern of their crowns. They kntw io a nicety the comparative altitude of their thrones, and they were anxiously parcelling out thr I citfes over which they were to rvle. With their feet treading the very ascent to Calvary they were badgering each other .as to which of them should be jrreatest. Jesu1 had come to give them a life of ease artd self-satisfaction. Xo more stormy nights out upon Gennesr.rei; no more tugging at the nets and pulling the wet c-orda-jc of their boats; no mere weary clays brawling id the Caper naum market place to get sa'Jt for their . meat and butter for their bread. Christ had a whole cornucopia of splendors to empty into their lap kingship, and dig nities, and thrones, and scepters. When a3 with a lightning stroke all these fond dreams went whistling down the wind, and their cloud palaces vanquished like rnist at sunrise, disappointment thrust its iron into the soul, and away they went, spurred by an impulse which for the mo ment was irm":stib!e. Their thought had been centered on the good they were to get. not upon the good they were to do. Ttis not impossible that you and 1 should just as mistakenly interpret the purpose cf Christ's mission. ( In some piv otal moment the consciousness of sin un expectedly leaps up and chills us with its shaacw. YVc are iashed by the scorpion whip of conscience. Wc. shudder at the .tnought of death. The awe of eternity overshadows us. With timid fingers we open the Book of God. With ca'er eye we scan the page of Scripture. A wondrous gospel salutes 'us. Glad tidings ring like music through our hearts concerning One who b.i a welcome for the outcast, who an whiten the most soikd soul, who will -uplift, the. fallen and recall the wandering, and who has planted His nighty heel upon the head of death. We kneel" rejoicingly at the foot of the cross. We surrender our Ixfe into the keeping of Jesus. We vield Him tne ready homage of our hearts Then .comes the danger hour. Then we are' "Ik peril ot thinking how much Christ has to give, and too little of what He is training us to give. I hen we arc prone to dwell in imagination with the spirits of just men made perfect, and the companies of the ehining ones who walk with Christ in glory, until, we lose touch with the men and (Women who throng about us warped and stained with "the sin and sorrow of the wond. We forret that forgiveness is not the last word but the first word ci the Gospel. Wc forget that pardon is not the last utterance but the first utterance that Jesus has spoken. - We overlook the fact thnf. rhpvo ic .1 nltn 1 character which demands the energv of a hero and the patience of a devotee, that there is a service of others that calls for the cruc;h:;;on of self Another element cf heart failure is - doubt. ,II.ow was it possible fan the apos tles to recognize a Messiah under arrest? Was tlm the upsuot of centuries, of proph ecy.' Was tins the storv tW.Hir gers of God had been "telling of majesty andV.ory and of victory? Was the Prince 01 tnottouse trz uavid to-be rTrageed away in, cham3 and the Lion of Judah to be thrust into a cage? Clouded in their per ceptions, confused in their thought, con founded by the inrush of doubt, Jesus' disciples hurried awav beneath the shad ows of a night that but faintly suggest the dark questionings that must have shad owed their devoted hearts. This is an age of doubl.- Demon whis pers are upon every-breeze. Siren songs are at every turn. Faiths are under the scalpel. Creeds are in the crucible. Be liefs arc unon the anvil. A searching and pitness criticism is passing under its lens everything tnat men have counted helpful and W m the days gone bv. For one, J Mn tArf.?v.et U- F!affie will never harm fro.a.

There are doubting days in the cal endar of experience when the earth trem bles beneath t the feet, when the guiding stars of destiny are veiled with a cloud, when the altar flame, of life burns into ashes, when' the eyes of faith are blinded with a mist of tears, and when hope bows her serene head and hides her radiant face. Another element of heart failure is dan ger. There was an element of personal peril that night which we must not forget to-iiftroduce into our analysis of the im pulses that drove the apostles away from Christ. In all likelihood the thought of danger little affected the comrades of Jesus. With us it is apt to be the over mastering consideration. The retreating apostles were not so much afraid of .some things as we are. We talk about absolute monarchy. We rehearse stories of Siberian atrocity "until the blood ,chills. There is but one absolute monarch the czar of hu man opiniori. The ukase which he issues drag3 us all into a Siberia of meanness but faintly tipyfied by the degradation of those gloomy mines that burrow into the Asiatic mountains. The opinion of the world exiles finest feeling. It dungeons truest manhood. It rivets chain and ball on our loftiest aspirations. It vetoes inde pendence. We dare not be free and manly and genuine. It makes our feet fast in the stocks of its whims. We are all the while asking which way the weather-cock points and we trim. We are diligent in inquir ing how the current sets, and we veer, in stead of asking whither the needle pVints and setting our prow to the pole star; in stead of reading the chart and laughing to scorn the fret and roar of the billows. We serve Christ, by the world's permission. Why should we be so deferential to the world's opinion? If you slip, will the world help you up? If vou have blotted the fair page of your life, is the world helping you to whiten it? If you are sick, will the world play physician? If you are struggling with all the energy that is in your soul to scale some starry height of purity and of nobility will the world lend you a hand? When your path enters the valley of the shadow will the world walk beside you on that lonely and mysterious way? When your stay here is ended will the world spend one thought upon you, keep lowers growing on your grave or tear the lichens from your tombstone? There is one who loves you, one who. whenever you slip, has an arm of love ready to catch you: when you fall has messages of hope ready to whisper in your ear. He will whiten your soul. He will gird your weak ness. He will school your ignorance. He will share 3rour sorrow. He will companion you as you cross the frontiers of time. He will iutroduce you into an unclouded eternity beyond. Why care very much fot the opinion of the world in which avc arc but a fraction now, and in which to-morrow, we will be a cipher? Why not very keenly care for one whose love envelops our being as with an atmosphere? Turn the page and read the later story of apostolic loyalty. The sen.uel i? different from the preface. Call the roll of that glorious company of the apostles and hear every compass point ring with iidelity to Jesus. Head how they sowed the earth 'with martyr blood from Abyssinia co In dia. Beajin the chronicle with that tradi tion of Simon Peter, who was led out to death in the Roman amphitheatre while his wife was crowned with martyrdom before his eyes, to shake if possible the stanch rock of his bedded faith. And while she suffered he ca'ded her by name aij'd addressed her in terms of most endear ing affection and exhorted her to remem ber the love of the blessed Iord and to be iirm until the very end. His turn came next. He had but a single favor to ask from God as he stood there in the old Boman circus face to face with death, and that was that lie might remain firm for one more hour. He had but a single favor to ask from man, and that was that he might be crucified head downward, as it' was too great an honor for one who had deserted Jesus to suffer in the same vay Jesus did. The whole company of the apostles went sweeping home to their Master in chariots of lire. They sealed their allegiance to Him with their blood. Since the night of panic they had come to see Jesus under a new aspect. They had known Him as a friend. He had a place at their table and a voice in the home talk. He had a- seat at their firesides and a share in their plans. They had strolled together up and down the field paths. xney had paccrl side bv side through the city streets; He had colored their sym pathies, molded their character, enriched their lives; but the bond of friendship broke in the hour of trial. They had known 'Him as a teacher. They had been tascinated by the crystal-clear form of His statements. They had thrilled to the" searching and subtle touch of His moun tain sermon. Thev bad felt thp Rnht'p charm of His parables, but the spell of His wisdom did not keep them true on the nisht of His betrayal. They had seen Him as a' miracle worker. They had beheld the storm sleeo like a child at His com mand. Thoy had witnessed leprosy con verted into purity at Wis touch. They had feen, the winter of the sepulcher bloom into the spring when His sandals touched the lintel of the tomb, but the power of Jesus did not armor them to look upon the face of fear. But since that hour of heart failure they had come to know Him as their Saviour. They had seen Jesus die for them. They had felt the touch of- love that death could not quench. They had been beneath the arms ' of the cross out stretched to shelter them. They had caught the accents of His parting prayer, "Father, forgive." They had heard His triumph snout, "It is finished." As their He deem er Jesus riveted them to Himself with hooks of steel. In this day of force vorship it is timclv to uplift Christ as the vitalizing energy of humanity. It is pertinent to emphasize the deathless power that resides in Chris tianity. Itis interesting to watch it soar ing like a phoenix from the ashes of Jeru salem, smiting like a mailed giant the forces of the Graeco-Roman civilization, sweeping like- a white-winged angel of mercy beyond the Alps and the Rhine, and scattering glorious benedictions upon Scandinavian, Celt and Saxon; to watch it as it carries the same beneficent potencies to the dark continents and hermit nations of our own time, and blessing with ' its exhaustless bounty attic and cellar, avenue and alley, and parlor and schoolroom, and market place of latter dav civilization. In this hour of culture craze it is timely to mark the unique wisdom of the Christ and to note that through all the ages a train of gifted minds has brought the treasures of "their life and laid them at the feet of Him who was cradled in the Bethlehem manger; to observe the masters of human tnought bowing with wondering homage before tho sweet and the clarity of Christ's insight; to remark how the boldest of the skeptics become deferential and unsandal when they pass within the charmed circle of this singUiar personality. But when I see one who dwelt in the light of the face of God hastening down into the shadows and mis eries of this stricken earth; when I behold Him stripping Himself of those robes of divine majesty which lie wore before the world began and appareling Himself with that sad-nued vesture which we mortals wear, stained with woe and broidered with tears; when 1 behold Him who was the centre of anselib adoration, in nathptif loneliness, becoming a target for the scorn ot tneworid. despised and rejected of all m?n, spurned by bigots in the tribunal of His people and buffeted by brutes in the guardroom of the Roman; when I mark the bolt of doom that was whistling -in its flight toward my heart bury itself in the bosom of His love, and all this for me, for me, a Binner. then I am His. Then, if ever, the elemental depths of being are stirred and a loyalty of affection u enkin dled that knows no swerving. A woman is never so lonely as when she knows a secret and hae no one to tell i( Jo, THE SUNDAY SCHOOL INTERNATIONAL WESSON COMMENTS FOR JUNE 'l4. Subject: Paul nt Home, Acts xxvlll.. 16-31, 30, 31ftoklen Text, Bom. 1., 16 Mem '.ry Venei, 33, 24 Study Verses, 10-31 Commentary on the Day's I-eason. Paul enters Rome (v 16). 16. "Came to Rjme." Rome is reached at last and the leng journey is at an end. At this time the city of Rome was at the height of its glory. It held away over nearly the entire known world. Within a circuit of little more than twelve nvles more than 2,000,000 of inhabitants were ' crowded, of whom about 1,000,000 were slaves. , "But Paul." Nero, the emperor to whom Paul had ap- Eealed, was too much engaged in his de aucheries and pleasures to care much for such a man as Paul or such accusations as were made against him by the Jews. "By himself." This lenitjpwas probably due to the commendation of the centurion Julius. "With a soldier.". The custom 'was to chain the prisoner by one hand to the guard. To this chain the apostle frequent ly makes allusion in the epistles to the Kphesians,. Philippians and Colossians and in his friendly note to Philemon, all "of which were written during this imprison ment. See Eph. 3:1; 4: 1; Phil. 1: 13, 16; Col. 4: 18; Philem. 1: 9, 10. - The first interview with the Jews (vs. 17-22). 17. "After three days." Three days after Paul's arrival at Rome .he in vited those who presided over the Jewish community to visit him. His first steps on passing beyond the narrow circle of those already converts Were directed, in accord ance with his established principle, toward Israel. And as his circumstances did not allow him to seek the Jews, as he had done in other places, he requested the represen tatives of the Jewish congregation to come to his lodging. "Men and brethren." This address to the assembled Jews is of a per sonal nature, and is intended to counteract certain prejudices which the Roman .Jews might entertain. "Delivered prisoner." In as mild term3 as possible he recounts his uncalled for accusation 'by the Jews in Je rusalem, who delivered him into the hands of the Romans. I 18, 19. "Let me go." He narrate3 briefly the events given in chapters 21 to 26. The Roman officials repeatedly failed to lind cause of offense in him. "To appeal." Paul declared that his appeal to the em peror had become indispensably necessary, because the Jews opposed his acquittal to which the Roman authorities judged him to be entitled. He states that it nd not been his intention to bring any accusation against his people before the emperor. 20. ;'Hope of Israel." The hope of Israel is the general expectation of the Messiah. In Jesus Paul believed that the expected Saviour had appeared, and for preaching this he had been attacked and made a prisoner. He held the same faith as all the Jews, only going in this matter further than they, in that; he believed the ancient pmmise was now fuHilled' We can see from the reply of the Jews that he un derstood their position exactly. "This chain." Roman chains, Tike our handcuffs, usually indicated crime, but Paul's chains stand for patriotism and the loftiest relig ious conception. 21. "Neither received letters." Why the Jews in Judea had not forwarded the accusation against Paut to their brethren in Lome, that they might continue the prosecution before thel" emperor, is not known. It is probable that they regarded their cause as hopeless, and chose to aban don the prosecution. Paul had been ac quitted successively by Lysias, Felix, Fes tus and Agrippa. 22. "Desire to hear of thee." They im plied that they had heard of him by their request to know what he thought of this new sect. That they spoke so cautiously, and subsequently made no demonstration of hostility against Paul is readily account ed for. The apostle was held in special favor by the chief officer of Nero's house hold, and the Jews of the synagogue were themselves subject to persecution so that they were powerless to persecute the disci ples of Christ. The second interview with the jews (vs. 23-29). 23, 'Came many." They came in, great numbers. Manv accompanied the chief Jews. "Expounded," etc. Paul takes as his theme that doctrine of the kingdom of God which was the central truth of the Old Testament and the New, that great disclosure of the prophets which wa3 still, as it had been for centuries, the supreme thought and hope of the whole Jewish people. Again Paul follows the very line of "h'13 risen Lord's exposition to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus. "Moses prophets." Beginning at Moses and all the prophets he showed that the predicted kingdom is not limited to one nation, but :o-extensive with the world. He showed them that in Jesus of Nazareth all the condilions of the expected Messiah were fulfilled. "Morning until evening." This shows (he effort Paul put forth to save the Jews. 24. "Some believed," A few were won to faith in the Christ, but the many disbe lieved the teachings of their own Scrip tures, and rejected the suffering Messiah. ko plainly disclosed. The seed of the word fell here, in some cases, by the wavside; in others upon stony places, or among thorns; nevertheless, some fell into good trround. 25-29. "Spoken one word." With these solemn words of the Holy Ghost, spoken by Isaiah. Christ had opened Hia teaohi by parables (Matt. 13: 14, 'lo), and had. niiaiij uiuaeu ma minsirv among the Jews (John 12: 40). And now Paul, as if himself commissioned by the Holy Ghost as a pro phet of the Jsiew Testament, sadly redeliv ers the same message, enforced by the aw ful emphasis of the Master's double utter ance. Thus the apostle, under divine di rection, formally and finally seals up the gospel offer to God's disobedient and re jecting people. In this fearful process there are three distinguishable agencies ex pressly described: The ministerial agency of the prophet; the judicial agency of God, and the suicidal agencv of the people them selves. "Unto the Gentiles." Paul was never discouraged. ' If theigospel was re jected by one class of people he was ready to offer it to another. Paul's residence and ministry in Rome (vs. 30, 31). 30. "Two whole vears." Why he was not prosecuted before the em peror during this time is not known. Asf there was no prosecution Paul was suffered to live in quietness and safety. Nothing certainly is-known on the subject. It is evident, from 2 Tim. 4: 16, that he was at some time arraigned before the emperor, but when, or what was the decision, or why he was at.last set at liberty, are all in. volved in impenetrable obscurity. ot D- i,; 1 x 1 ' t ti , i. xicttcum tiiiu teacning, J. aui did a great work during these two years in Rome: 1.

After the announcement of the British success at Tel-el-Kebir the guns in St. James' park, London, "'were, not fired, and Mr. Gladstone, who was prime minister at the time, wrote to ask his war minister why the guns were silent. He himself, Mr. Gladstone added, had had them fired for the In dian victories in 1846. There was a neat turning of the tables in the reply. Mr. Gladstone had told the house of commons that there was no legal status of war with any,' recognized state or power and .his secretary, for war wrote back that the - only excuse the war office had was that, relying on the premier's statement, "we have hitherto believed that wo have not been at war." r. ;! . r - ;.,- Tonsoriat Artltt, n.t door to Port Office. -lUaof honing to perfection. r alao repair hoe nd can gurnte iy work.

When David takes Goliath's weapon he loses his heavenly ally. Prosperity is liable to turn the Christian race Into a dull trot. It is better to give evidence of sal vation than to be able. to understand it. ' If there was salvation in legislation Moses would have rendered Christ un- necessary. i It is hard for churches to grasp the law that when they are dead they have to be buried. It is hardly fair to expect God to provide us a home there 'if we shirk the responsibilities of a home herev God's justice cannot be weighed in the scales of our scruples. A good deal of laziness of mind is called liberality of opinion. Greatness of soul is not synonymous with littleness of sense. The modern pharisee knows enough to adopt the publican's prayer. The sign of the dollar is the one most sought by this sinful generation. The flight of time ought to remind us of the coming of the time of our flight. It is of little use making earth like heaven until we make men's hearts like God's. To be called God's child is not so much an expression cf your doctrine as of your destiny. The indifference of the masses is to be accounted for partly by the dif ferences of the churches. There are churches where Christ in stead of driving out the traders would have to cast out the devils. The survival of the fittest may be the way of law, but the salvation of the failures is the way of love. A virtue is not a deceased vice. Sorrow is a stronger link than joy.
