now a wretched Moslem village. The

et the Jewish cermonial of uteurning
that many, ten at.. least, stiould come
and console ((en, 37; 35, 2 Sam. 12;
17; Job 2; 11). It is said that the
usual period of mournIng was thirty
days; three of -weeping; seven of la-
mentation., twenty of sorrow. lettt the
instances in scripture vary. -Cam. 1311).
II. Resurrection Power in Jesus (vs.
eQ32). 20, Martha -went and met him
-Jesus halted outside tee village, and
as soon as Martha heard of his con-
ing Ole went to meet him, "Her poet -
tion here, it may be seld, is obviously
that or the elder sister, the head and
manager of the household." -Smith. It
Is natural that she should be the first
to go forth to meet the Master. Mary
till sat in the house (R. V.)- The,
same characteristics of Martha and
Mary, respectively, are seen here in
the tncident described in Luke 10; 28-
42. The sitting posture was usually
assumed by those who were mourning.
21. Lord -Master, if thou hadst been
here, my brother had not died -Mar-
tha does not reproach Jesus for not
having come, .but regrets that he was
not present Wheal him while he was
sick. There was not Unto for Jesus
to reach him after word was sent to
him •that Lazarus was ill. She ex-
pressed her confidence in his healing
power, but supposed tlfat he must be
present in person to do the work. 22.
Whatsoever thou wilt ask of Goda-lier
words indicate that site believed Jesus
could ask the Fathersto raise the
brother from the dead and his prayer
would be answered. She had prob.
ably heard of the raising to life of the
wen of the widow ot Nein and of the
daughter of Jairus. She must have
anown of the Old Testament miracles
of resurrection from the dead. Her
declaration of faith must have been.
Pleasing to him. 23. Thy brother
shall rise again -Although Martha un-
derstood these words to refer to the
final resurrection of the dead, she
must have been comforted; yet it is
evident that Jesus was giving her the
promise of raising Lazarus to life. 24.
knotv that he shall ries again -.
Martha did not belong to the Sadduc-
ean sect of the•Jews, for she believed
In the resurrection or the dead. She
was assured that Lazarus woaid be
raised "Lu the resurrection at the last
day," That did uot satisfy her pre-
sent desire. She longed for his re-
storation to lite at once.
2s. Roam said unto her -41e recog-
lazed the deep agitation of her soul
and &poke the word that must have
moved her deepest moral and spiritual
nature, as it has moved hearts all
dawn the ages. I am the resurrection,
and the life -Note the Ilse ot the de-
-- ginite article in connection ;with the
words resurrectien and life. Jesus is
the only source of life. Ile is the giv-
er of life and the restorer of it. Jesus
employs the preeent tense, saying, "I
am,e not, "I will be." Ile gave Martha
to know that He had, at that very in -
stoat, power to restore Lazarze to
life. He that ,believeth In Me -To be-
lieve In Jesus then was to accept Eim
as the -Messiah, to acknowledge Me
slivine power and to receive Him as
Saviour and Lord. To believe in
Jesus now means the same. The bee

1. Sounded the depthe of human
woo. As soon as Mertha.and Mary
apprehended danger, they sent for
jams. Two .sharply contrasted types
of natural character are exhibited in
these two sisters. Martha's creed was
sound, but not complete. She thought

dealt with her according to her nature
tind temperament. • Martha had fully
grasped whet Jesus was in relation to
God, but not what, he was in himself,
the Source and Giver of life. Her
faith had not risen to the divinity of
his Person and mission. Her love was
stronger than her faith. She didenot
see the connection between Christ's
delay and the good of all concerned.
Jesus did not try to 'annihilate Mar-
tha's grief, but to infuse it with an-
other spirit. The death of Lazarus
bad spread a dark shadow over tbe
heeets of many. Jesus beheld death in
all its dread significance as the wages
which sin had wrought. Humanity in
all its sin and •misery was portrayed
in that. gatherinrs at the grave of Laz-
arus. Jesus knew how much the dark-
neso rind sorrows of death were inten-
sified and aggravated by the state of
Ignorance and unbelief in which the
world lay. His grief was connected
with man's misery. While in his di-
vine thought aud sorrow Jesus pene-
trated to •the root and source of all
evil, the mighty attendaut suffering
awoke In bim the truest and deepest
Compassion and tendernees toward all
men. His tears were human, but ais
eompassion and sympathy were di-
vine. By his example he gave sanc-
tion and limit to sorrow, the limits
in which sorrow is sacred and hallow -
in', and beyond which it is barnitql
and weakening. The heart which

II. Established faith in Himself, As
it regarded the manifestation of the
glory of God, the aerival of Jesus was
neither too early nor too late, By
His delay Jesus tried the character of
ail who knew the ease. The restora-
tion of Lazarus from death was more
beneficial to faith than fies preserve-

lifted her beyond the atmeephere of

things concerning Himself. His first
purpose was to get their minds away
from death. His next purpose eels to
get them to identify +Himself with the

London, Cabitt.-Lord Roberts
Cecil, the British Blockade Minieter,
this evening made reply to the latest
utterances or Dr, von Bethmann.
Hollweg, the German Imperial Chan-
cellor, in a statement to the Ain:io-
dated Press:
'Ale German Chancellor claims
that Getman in the past renounced
the unrestricted use of her submarine
weapou in the expectatlen that Great
Within could be made to observe in
her blockade policy the laws of hu-
manity and international agree.
melted'" said Lord Robert, "It isedif-
rieult to say whether this statement et
the more remarkable for its hypocrisy
of for its falseness. It would hardly
seem that Germany is in a position to
speak for huttlallitY or international
agreements, since she began this war
by deliberately violating the interne-
tional agreement guaranteeing the
neutrallly. of Belgium, and has con-
tinued it by violating all the dictates
of humanity'.
"I -las the chancellor forgotten that
the German Vireos have been guilty
of excesses in Belgium, unparalleled
in history, culminating in the at
tempted enslavement of a dauntless
people; of poisoning wells, of bom-e
barding open town, torpedoing hos-
pital ships and sinking other vessels
with total disregard tor the safety of
non•tombatants on board, with the
result that Many .hundreds of in.n0-
cent victims, including both women
and children, have lost their lives?
London, Cable.- "During the.
night of Mafeli 28-29 part of our naval
forces cruised In the barred acne off
the south coast of England;" says an
official statement received here from
Berlin. "Beyond the armed English
steamer Mascotte, which we encoun-
tered eight miles east of Lowestoft,
and slunk by artillery fire, neither the
enemy fighting forcer; nor merchant
shipping was Bighted. Seven men of
the Maecotte were 'made priscner."
The British Admiralty, in referring
to the (lerman statement that German
navel forces had been, crulsing oft
the isouth coacd, of England, ways: •
"During tae night of March 23.20
eome firing was observed some miles
off shore from Lowestoft. Our patrols
were sent to the scene with the tit.
most speed, bat nothing was. seen of
the enemy, who had made off. .
"There is only cne Britieh steamer
named Mascotte in the register, and
ehe is unarmed, but it is assumed the
German message refers to one of our
patrol trawlers. steeled eMascot,"

QUOTES CFIANCHLLOR'S WORDS.
"The latest manifestation of this
policy is to be seen in the devastation
and deportations carried out by the
Germans in their forced retreat on the
western front. The Chancellor states
that it is Itecause the allies have not
abandoned their blockade and have
refused the so-called peace offer of
Germany, that unrestricted submarine
warfare is .now decided on. As to this
will do •nte more than quote what
the chancellor himself said in the
Reichstag 'hen announcing the adop-
tion of unrestricted submarine war,
"He said that as soon as he himself,
in agreement with the supreme army
command, reached the conviction that
ruthless U-boat warfare would bring
Germany nearer to a victorious peace,
then the U-boat warfare would. be
started. He continued:
"'This moment has now arrived.
Last autumn the time was not ripe;
but to -day the moment has conte when,
with the greatest proupect of Success,
we can undertake this enterprise.
We must eot wait any longer.
Where has there been -a change? In
the first place, the mosimportant fact
of all is that the number of our sub-
marine's has been very considerably
Increased as compared with last spring
and thereby a firm basis has been ere-
Ittett for success;
"Does not this prove eanclusively
that it was not any scruple or any re-
spect for international law or neutral
rights that prevented eurestrieted
warfare from being adopted earlier,
but merely a lack of means to carry
It out? I think it may be useful once
again to point out that the illegal and
tnituman attack on shipping by the
Germans cannot be justified as a re-
prisal for the action of Great Britain
In attempting to‘cut off front Germany
all imports.
"The submarine campaign was
clearly •contemplated as far back as
December, 1914, when Admiral ton
Tirpitz gave are indication to an Am-
erican eorrespondent in Berlin of the
projected plan. As for the plea that
the Allies are aiming at the annihila-
tion of Germany and her allies and
that ruthless warfare is theretore jus•
titled, it Is • %sufficient in order to re-
fute this to quote the following' passage
from the allies' reply of January 10,
1917, to President Wilsoh's note:
"'There is no need to say that if 'the
allies' desire to liberate Europe from
the brutal covetousness of Prussian
thilitarlem, the extermination and
political disappearance or the German
people have never, , as has been. pre-
tended, formed a part of their design.'
"The allusion made to Russia by
the German Chancellor can hardly
be treated seriously. A Government
'of Hohenzollerne cannot pose as the.
Champions of freedom and self-gov-
ernment as against entoeracy. When
the German people enjoy the benefits
of a truly • repreeentative, Government
and are no longer dominated by a
military atitocraeY, Gerntany may
aispear in that role, but not until
then."
During a debate in tite Norwegian
Parliament, according to the Stand -
Ode' Copenhagen correspondent,
Foreign alinister Mem announted
that the (lovertateht had officially
protested against the German blockade
of Norway's north coast.
Christiania adviees of 'Mara 23
announeed that the German Minister
there had officially notified the Nor-
eveglan Govertunent of the extension
of the area of unrestricted submarine
warfare to the waters giving access
to l'Iorthern Russian 0Orts. The zone
eetends front the northern part at
ItiOrway eastward to the nOrtlt of the
Russian and Siberian etlast.
