True Love of Christ Means Love of
Fellow Man
"If yo love mo keep my conunand-
t1letUs."—tet. Julia xiv. 15.
Now, when two truly love a being for
the possession of qualities we ourselves
would fain enjoy and exhibit, that love,
If it be worthy the name. is transform -
Ing. We would be like the beloved ob-
ject by which our affections are aroused.
Granted that Christ is the most lovable
being who ever Iles existed, it logically
tollew:s that 111011 should love Hin► and
that the love we bear Ism should make
ise strive to be like Hint.
How can This likeness be brought
about in us—made real by us? Christ
Himself in this thrice -repeated injunc-
tion has pointed out the method—by
keeping )lis commandments.
But what are His commandments? is
at once asked. Certainly they have cornu
down to us in many forms and in vari-
ous ways, and our duty is to keep thein
ell. His words were never meant simply
for thaso to whom they were addressed
directly, as the disciples on this occa-
sion, nor can they be restricted in the
case under discussion absolutely to any
particular set, group or selection from
His manifold admonitions. 111' .spoke let
dhc world for all time and for all men,
yet it is equally true that in this famous
direction Ife referred definitely to
CERTAIN INJUNCTIONS.
We look back into the preceding chap-
le,- and we tlnd what they were. In this
sante lienal interview before His betrayal
fie told His disciples specifically to do
two things as different at first sight as
clay and night, hitt nevertheless insepar-
ably bound together. The first was that
Alley should wash one another's feet ; the
second that they should love one
another.
I would not iinit the meaning of
Christ's words by confining them merely
lo a pitifully literal interpretation. The
torso commandment is broader than a
mere ceremonial. It is a commandment
of service by man to men, and the
second commandment is its comelement,
for it refers to the spirit in which the
ter•vieee should be rendered. Christ's
whole life was devoted to the service of
sten, and every incident and episode in
every word spoken throughout it,
flowed from u spirit of love toward seen
s) completely and convincingly evi-
denced that we can think of no better
alma for God, suave Christ's time, than
that Ile is Love.
There is plenty of service to men in
this world, but mighty little love. GoOtbe
thanked even for the servieo which
springs from a stern sense of duty or
from whatsoever compulsion it may. 11
is certainly better Than disservice or in-
difference.
But we shall never reach the high ideal
and we shell never have peace among
men until the service of one to another
arises from
I'l1F ' WE OF ONE TO ANOTHER.
Th rmwing class antagonisms—I hate
the word class—the growing race antag-
onisms. the present strife and bitterness,
will never bo done away with by any
service whatever unless love—and not so
ntt.ch love toward God as love toward
sten, bo it remembered—be its inspira-
tion.
We are all children of a common
Father. The rich have no exclusive pri-
vilege of relationship to Him or right-
eousness in Him. Neither has the one
o: the other a monopoly of evil and
folly, for that matter. The man who
works with his brain and the man who
labors with his hands—the capitalist and
the toiler, the employer and the enhI•loye,
tite master and the man—all stand on a
common level before an Infinite God.
The rich and the poor meet together ;
the Lord Ile is the Maker of them all.
And -no man, however noble his achieve-
ment or however great his desire, can
say he lovas Christ unless all he does for
tnan is done as touch for the love of plan
as for the lova of God. For this It is to
keep His commandments, which are kept
in no other way.
If we could only in some way get the
principle of love for men actively at
stork as inspiration for the law of ser-
vice to then, heaven would be found here
and to -day.

Lesson IV. The Golden Calf. Golden
Text : 1 John 5. 21.
THE LESSON \\Ylltl) STUDIES.
Based on the text of the Revised Ver-
sion.
Bull Symbols in llebrew \Vorship.—
Tho word translated "calx' in our lesson
passage is somewhat misleading. It is
used in Hebrew in a much wider sense
and very frequently designates the
grown animal. animal. 'Thus in Jer. 31. 18, and
in Judg. 14. 18, the reference is to a
young bull and a young cow respective-
ly. full-grown and ready to be broken to
the plow. Among the agricultural
people, suet as were the Hebrews, the
most natural symbol of strength and
vital energy was the young bull. it \was
natural, therefore, that This people when
in quest of an appropriate symbol under
which to represent the presence of Jeho-
vah, whom thus far they had learned to
know almost solely as the God of )cower
and irresistible might, who brought
death and destruction to his enemies,
and spoke oven unto his own poorle in
tones of thunder foam the cloud -covered
mountain height, should do as so many
other peoples Ft11111II1'{y situated, and
some of them closely related to the Is-
raelites racially, had done, and clothe
their ideal of the Divine Presence in this
material form. The origin of bull sym-
bolism among the llebrews may there-
fore bo sought in the native religious
tendencies of the people themselves—
tendencies which they shared with other
Semitic peoples about therm. in the re-
ply to the contention that the Israelites
simply imitated the Egyptians, with
whom they had so long been closely
aesociatcd, It may be said : 1. The
Egyptians worshiped not golden. but
living hulls, which were regarded as the
incarnations of certain well-known
national deities; 2. 11 would seem In-
consistent, if not amort, for Aaron to
speak as he did of the golden cstl( as
representing the god that had delivered
the Israelites from the hand of the
Egyptians, had the calf been n reflection
of any Egyptian deity ; 3. In the case of
a similar a}:osliisy under Jeroboam nl
the time of the division of the kingdom
't Kings 12. 25), the attempt of the new
king to consolidate different parts of
his, the northern, kingdom. demanded
That the forst of worship established be

lnet !mill it foreign land. We ares there-
fore, not to think in either case of wee
limy of n deliberate Introduction of crass
iolatry, but rather of a sincere. though
mistaken and wrong attempt to synl-
helize both the presence and the cove-
nant of Jehovah with his people. This,

sive in spea'h, he was a valuable aseis-
lant to \loses, who was "slow of speech,

the people he was a mere tool in their
hands, either unable or unwilling
courageously to oppose their will.
Wives, ... sons, . . daughters --Tho
c• \plied mention of both wives and
daughters, tegother w1111 the omission of
tho husbands or men, seems to imply
that the sten did not :it this time vogue
the articles of jewellery referral to,
though in an earlier day the members
of the household ut Jacob, ineluduig the
men, seem to have worn rings.
4. Fashioned it with a graving tool—
This clause in the Hebrew is diflicull Io
understand, and has been variously in-
terpreted. Tho sante Hebrew verb is
trunstated in 2 Kings 5. 23, "bound (that
1410 goldj in bags." '1'ttis rendering
here would .tern more in harmony with
the following clause, and matte it a
molten calf. The rendering "fashioned
it with it graving tool," is, however, in
harntuuy with conclusions basial on n
careful comparison of this verse with
verse 20 rook the calf which they had
made and burnt it with lira"), and of
both these verses with other passuges in
which the manufacture of similar
images is describe 1 (Deist. 7. 25; Ise.
3'). 22; 40. 19 ; 44. 10), all of which
seem to point to a wooden acre overlaid
with gold. in support of this view it
may be added that the expression in
looses:s denunciation of the practice of
this very forst of idolatry (loos. 8. 6)
lransloated "pieces" ("yea, the calf of
Samaria shall bo broken in pieces") is
in the Talmud rendered "splinters or
shavings of wood," seeming to indicate
that the object broken was at least in
prrl com):osed of wood.
Offered burnt offerings, and brought
peace offerings—\\'e have in this state-
ment very conclusive evidence of the
fact that both these forms of sacrifice
existed prior to the specific regulations
of the tabernacle ritual given by verses.
The people sat down to eat and to
drink, and rose up to play—Feasting
and merry -making were among the
mere innocent accompaniments of
idolatrous worship. Often, however,
these degenerated into the most corrupt
practices, so common among the nearest
neighbors of the Hebrew people.
7. Thy people, that thou broughte t
up out of the land of Egyrt—As though
tow apostasy of the people had already
definitely and permanently separated
the whole congregation frau Jehovah.
30. The intervening verses (9.29),
which, while not printed In our lesson
helps, nevertheless constitute part of the
assigned lesson passage, record the in-
tercession of Moses with Jehovah on
behalf of the people, and the subsequent
return of \loses to the camp of Israel,
the breaking of the tabhs of stone, the
destruction of the golden bull symbol,
and the punishment of the clticf often -
dere, excepting Aaron.
Sinned n great sin—They had not only
broken a definite promise, but in so
doing had been guilty of gross ingrati-
tude toward Jehovah.
Peradventure I shall stake atonement
foe your sin—Appease in some way the
wrath of Jehovah. •
32. Forgive their sins—; and if not,
blot ate, i pray thee, out of thy book—
We are to supply in thought the ellipsis
indicated by the dnslh, inserting some
such words as "w -ell and good." or, "1
am content," or, "1 have no more to
say."
34, 35. i will visit their sin upon them
—It Ls not clear whether the threatened
visitation of punishment is to be thought
••f as following immediately, or at smite
later time. From 1110 expression, And
Jehovah smote the people, sante have
inferred the firmer, while others think
ilial lite punishment referred to was the
ultimate perishing of the entire genera-
Ikon in the wilderness, spe0ifi:ally men-
Ilcned in Num. 14. 35: "In this wilder-
ness they shall be consunnd,•(11d there

PROPHECY GAME RIGHT
KING IIAAKO? AND THE FORTUNE
TELLER.
Prince Carl of Denmark Changed His
Name Without Changing Ilia
Language.
Among 111e many weird prophecies
that have leen uttered with regard to
kings and princes, the following one
about King Ilaakon, which is current
It Scandinavia, may not he equally well
known in England. Tne Paris corre-
spondent of the London Leader tells
the story.
In 1890, Matson, then Prince Charles
cf Denmark, was cruising in the Medi-
terranean on tee corvette "Heimdal" as
a member of the senior class of the na-
val school.
'Phe corvette put into the port of Ma-
laga, and the prince and his chum,
Iterdebrcd, went ashore with tate other
ci.dcts.
The boatswain, who had knocked
resold all the ports in the Mediterranean,
had told the young sten that in a cafe
in the Calle Carsten there was a beau-
tiful fortune teller, Delores de Isla, ( ►
great reputation. In the evening they,
of course, all stet at this particular
cafe, and Prince Charles (who. accord-
irg; to the strict orders of the King, his
grandfather, was in no way distlng,uLs►►-
able front his brother cadets) went up
to Dolores and asked her to tell his for-
tune.
The palmist took his hand and scan-
ned the lines attentively.
SUDDENLY SHE DREW RACK,
and in a trembling voice said: "But who
might you he, young gentleman?"
"Oh, I'm the sante as my comrades
here, a Danish naval cadet."
"Show Inc your hand again. Perhaps
there is a mistake. Come into the cord
Wer yonder, under lite lamp."
There the prophetess spoke to the
prince in a low tone, so that the others
cculd not hear. Presently the young
man returned to his friends. Ile was
deathly pale. No one ventured to ask
h:m what had happened, and almost
immediately )ie got up and left the cafe.
A month later, when the cruise was
over, and the "Ipeintdal" was entering
Copenhagen harbor, Prince Charles
gave his friend Ilerdebred a sealed en-
velope. and spade him promise to keep
tl intact until he should claim it again.
in the event of the prince's deatt! Her-
dcbred was to break the seals and read
the contents.
'Therein is noted down word for
word what Dolores de Isla told ale. 1t.
is, of course, all nonsense. Ilut still,
betwixt heaven and earth there air
neysleries--hyprotisIuI, for instance --
which the wise have not yet fathomed.'
On the envelope was written: "Ma-
laga, 1890.—Carl."
Ten years later, in July, 1900. Heyde -
shut in the close and healed streets kept
coating to Itis mind. Then all at once he
started with a midden thought. You
amid see he did not quite like the
thought by the way ho scowled up his
forehead, and he muttered to himself, as
if in answer, "No, I'm not going to do
it. School will begin pretty soon and 1
want all spate time for myself. I'm not
going to bone Into work in vacation for
a fellow I never saw'."
Rupert said this to himself. but the
next time he saw inc he called by w•ny
o! greeting, 'Say, Joe, old Miss Owen
wants someone to pick and pack her
early harvest apples, and take part for
their pay. I was thinking it we did it
we might sell our share of the apples
and use the ninny toward a railway
ticket for that fele you was telling me
of."
"Jolly 1" exclaimed Joe. "we'll take the
Job. 1 never picked or packed an apple,
but you show ale how and I'll learn.'
"'Phut parks easy enough, and 1 was
wondering what we'll sol with our ap-
rles. Miss Owen sends hers In Chicago,
but it takes se) long Io get the returns,
and we want the money right away.,,

GWI\MPE FROCKS 1'OPUt.AII.
That guimpe frocks are Lein; worn
Another season and that they have con-
tinued 111 popularity despite constant
use are facts that go to show how well
they meet the demand of the Alumna'
girl, and especially of the young sum-
mer girl. Everywhere these smart while
guirnped gowns are being offered to the
purchasers of dainty ntuslins, silks,
linens and cottons, and the separate
blouse unrelieved by some sort of a
guimpe is rarely seen. Pink linens made
in this fashion have been set apart al-
niost exclusively for the adornment of
very young girls and girls who are not
yet out. 'fhe color is almost invariably
becoming to their fresh pink and white
skins, and later on, when sunburn gives
them a darker tinge of coloring. the
white blouse worn underneath will still
make the pink suitable.
There is a great fancy for embroidery
o:1 these heavy linen gowns, scalkips
worked around the neck and down the
h•anls and to finish off the suggestion of
t: sleeve. Usually this is done in mer-
cerized linen flus to match the shade
of the linen exactly, though occasionally
a very pretty colored linea dress em-
broidered in while is seen. If lite waist
is cut with a round or pointed effect,
showing only a little of the thin white
underblouse, then the embroidery de-
sign may he elaborated across the front
and carried down to within three or
four inches of the waist line.
Because the guimpe idea itself is not a
product of this season it was considered
necessary to offer something new in this
popular style, and the outing costume Inc
young girls is now enjoying n reign that
promises to live •longer than a single
summer. 11 suggests a "Peter Thomp-
son," with less of a sailor cut than this
universally liked costume for girls. The
skirt is pleated, while the blouse has
pleats to match coating into a wide loll
which holds the two ):feces together
without requiring an additional bell. The
neck of the blouse is cut well *may from
the front and finished will► n rolling col-
lar of equal width and cul off square
across the front. From under the points
of this collar comes a tie of the same
material as the guimpe usually, or else
of contrasting material and color, and
this is tied very jauntily in a sailor knot.
The sleeves of this !tracheal costume
are built on the old shirtwaist order,
though they end al the three-qunrler line
and have unstiffened Uu•nha'k cuffs to
match the collar. Under this is worn a
very simple white guimpe with just a
hit of lace on the collet' and apparently
without sleeves. This tae already be-
come n prime favorite with girls for
tennis, boating. and all the other out-
door sports. In order to make it as
practical ns possible it is offered in self -
coterie! linen.
For other occasions gowns showing
the underblouse all the way to the belt
in front are being worn. The waist tor
these is cut away in front in a long point
and usually the armholes are wide
enough to let the blouse stew to within
two or three inches of the bell. This is
