PRACTICAL NOTES,
Verse 1. The Lord appointed other
seventy also, Revised Version;
enty others," referring not to any pre-
viously appointed seventy, but to the
twelve. That the selection of twelve
apostles was symbolical is evident
from several, passages, notably, from
the promise that they shoulcl $ic on
twelve thrones, judging the twelve
tribes of Israel. Seventy, sometimes
seventy-two had grown among the
Jews to be almost as sacred a number
as twelve. Moses haat chosen seventy
elders to assist leim in the govern-,
! ruent of the new-boen nation, and, ac-
,
, cording to tradition, when the nation
had its second birth the elders whom
Ezra enImmonect to be his counselors
were seventy or seventy-two in num-
ber; as a consequence the Sanhedrin
numbered seventy; and when the He-
brew Scriptures were, turned into
Greek it was by seventy elders. Fol-
lowing the traditions and the eenti-
ments of his countrymen, Jesus now
selects seventy disciples to proclaim
ttim. This commission is not noticed
by the evangelists. Its special ob-
ject was to prepare the way for our

neighbors take it upon themeelves to

way it is done:
The unfortunate person, whether it

banks of the River Nainengume, par-
tieipated in by hunareas of peaple

native priest, who is the master of

natives that supernatural agencies

bottom of the river and stays there un.

On t.he other hand, if he is not "pos-

So generally topsy-turvy are the
conditions in the Laos, that portion of
Indio -China through which the Nanan-
gume River flows, that only acknow-
ledged maniacs live in any sort of
social rebellion with each other. The
majority of the people live a solitary
life, dwelling at the most in groups
of twos and threes.
This condition of things, in so
neglected and remote a country, helps
to produce eccentricity, if not actual
lunacy. Queer personal habits are

therefore the most densely populated

cultivate to their hearts' delight the
idiosyncrasies which have served to

peaCeable, but fall in lave, marry and
have children, who, in most cases, are
even more eccentric than their 'par-

things as are set before you—a phrase
that might include all the necessities '

The Mngdona. of God is come nigh un-
to you. This was a proclamation of
the Messiah's kingdom, and a mirac-
ulous sign of the truth of the pro- ,
clamation. But it was more than this.
It was seeking, in John Wesley's
phrase, the good of "the bodies and
souls of men:" it was an announce-
ment of the 'twofold mission of the
Gospel, which gives promise of the life
that now is, and of that which is to
oorne. It was a challenge at the out-
set to every part of man's nature,
the secular as well as the spiritual,
the mortal as well as the immortal.
Cities which rejected the disciples, and
in their persons rejected the Messiah
himself, were :also to receive a two-
fold treatment—a sign of rejection on
the part of Christ, and a repeated
statement of the nearness of the
Messiah. Even the very dust of Your
city, which cle,aveth on us, we do wipe
off against you. See At 13. 51. The
action was both testimony and warn-
ing, and was in harmony 'With oriental

of God is odnee nigh unto you. Al-

for the teacher to dwell upon. There le
a sense in which kingdoms occasional-
ly go on their travels. Ain: injury in-
flicted on a national ambassador is
felt as an injury by the nation he
repres.ente; an honour offered to him
Ls offered to the nation. .And so in
this case, thlorugh the King of God's
kingdooa, Jesus of Nazareth', never en-
tered the cities which had rejected his
disciples, it was true that the king-
dom had come nigh unto them because
his ambassadors had offered them
their services.
