every day of my life, He is the
honest, upright son who etays at
home and gets no credit for being
good; he is the respecteble plod.cler
of the family who does Trost of the
hard work in the office, in the store
and on the farm and the)l has the
extreme pleasure of seeing, all the
young girls run after his dissolute
younger brother merely because that
brother is driving fast horses and
sowing his 'wild oats,' The, elder
brother is the son who is alweys
sober and yet reeeives he itot one
extra dollar from his Parents as a
reward, while the drunken SOT1 of
the family is continually receiving

other start in life. The elder is the
'good boy' upon, whom the mother
depends to help give his enters now
dresses for the winter parties, yet
he never has st party given for him.
He never had a. fatted calf killed
that he might entertain his friends,.
though for years he has cared for
the cattle by day and has seen that
they were properly milked at .night.
He is the 'good boy' who never had
a fine ring put on his finger. The
folks la.ughed at his horny fingers,
which were knotted front handling
the plow and wielding the hoe 1-trui
the ax. His feet were never Meas-
ured for dancing slippers because his.
sandals were always soiled and. dirt
begrimed. He was always weskitsg
itt the fields. The drunkards, the
profligates, the midnight carousers,
the libertines and the associates of
lewd _companions are the ones who,
when they reform, have the smiles
and the dancing parties given to
them, not the elder brothers who
have never done any wrong."
TWO KINDS OF FAULTS,
But neither of the brothers is por-
trayed as an example. Both were
bad, though in different ways. We
easily see the faults of the younger
brother; they were open and scan-
dalous; but the faults of the elder
brother, being decorously covered up
by dutiful conduct, are not so easily
recognized. In estimating character
on God's lines w.e have to ask not
.only what a man has done, but what
he is. keenness and unbrotherlin.ess
and cruelty in the heart deface *a
man's character as indelibly as
open iniquity. They in.ake inen, as
Christ said, like "whited sepulchers,
which indeed appear beautiful out-
ward, but -are within full of dead
men's bones and of all uncleanness."
Therefore I place my chief' emphasis
upon the sinful life of the elder bro-
ther, to show that the so-called re-
spectable sins of Self righteousness
are of all sins the most to be dread-
ed and that it is the duty of the
preacher to warn his hearers against
them.
The elder brother is the modern
Pharisee, s'ao thanks God that he
is not as other men. 11e complac-
cently looks upon. the drunkard and
the social outcast and the • pauper
and says to his friends: "Just look
at me. I never had cuss- more ad-
vantages than those people have
had. I was of a highstrung, impe-
tuous nature, yet I never would let
my evil desires get the better of use.
I have never been drunk. I have
never run up a bill I was unable to
pay. I never was a frequenter of
the clubs, nor a convivial associate
of midnight carousers. Indeed, to
be frank with you, 1 have just about
as geed opiniou of my moral attain-
ments as Prince "Bismarck had ° of
his skill in statesmanship. When
some one asked the Iron Chancellor
who he thought was the brainiest
statesman, in all turoiss, Bismarck
replied: 'Modesty forbids iny stat-
ing who is the brainiest-, because
then I might havo. to mention my
own name. But I am perfectly will-
ing to ,state that Benjamin Disraeli
is without doubt the. second ablest
statesman in all Europe.' Other
saints," remarks the pharisaicai
elder' brother, "may be my equal in
moral attainments, but ant sure
there is no superioe in all the ,world
o ney humble self." • •
A DEFECT IN CHARACTER.
Elder brothers,. .you have no
ground for pride if the restraint
that has kept you from prodigality
is itself a defect of character. It is
true that you have not vise off as
a. prodigal into a far country. You
have not given a midnight- banquet
and started your young friends' on.
the path to a drunkard's grave by
teaching them • how to bury their
lips in the red poison of the wine
cup. You have been too stingy for
that; you may have been so mean
and .stingy that that there is no
fear that you 'would deilik a glass of
wine or smoke a cigar unless some
one 0180 paid for it. It is not prin-
ciple that saves sense men from go -

Which led your friends into sin or in-
to financial difficulty. And, ,elder

nese end avarice, though you may
have never violated the criminal
code of your state, you are at heart
a sinful monster, a financial tyrant;
you are at heart a merciless calum-
niator. God despises your unto -
pentad sins just as much as he de-
spises the sins of the prodigal in the
far country.
A DESPICABLE SPIRIT.
Thct elder brother thinks that his
Divine Father's house is not big en-
ough to hold two dons. He feels
that if his brothel' is allowed to
come back the returning prodigal
will crowd him out of some room
which rightfully belongs to him.
He says to himself: "There is that
drunken loafer of a boy. He has
takenhis one-half of the property;
give, part of my rightful inheritance
now he is coming back to eat up.
part of my half. I know that .fa-
ther' is so kind-hearted that he will
to this lazy spendthrift, this boon
companion of dissolute characters,
If he has spent his all, then let him
starve. That .is just, what he de-
serves. He has no right coming
back, to be a vaniplre upon iny pro-
perty," So the selfish elder brothers
in many of our large churches refuse
to let the prodigals come among
them and will not allow them to be
received as equals in their Father's
house, They seem to think that the
advent of the poor and outcast
means their own. social extinction
and their spiritual debasement.
Where can the despicable, pharis-
aical spirit of the elder brother be
found more conspicuous than in
some of your modern Sunday school
classes? "Oh," say the svell dressed
young girls of that, class, you are
not goeng to put that poor girl in.
our class. Why, it will ruin the
whole class! You can't expect the
daughters of millionaires to associ-
ate with sewing girls even in a Sun-
day school," Where can you find a
more despicable, pharisaical spirit
than in the missionary life of some
of our large cityschurches? There are
many large and wealthy churches
that are supporting missions in the
foul slums of the city, yet whose
members would -not for ono instant
allow the poor, to sit in their own
pews 'or kneel at their communion
tables. And, mark you, this phar-
isaical spirit of old is not only
found among the rich, but also
anion -the poor.
THE TWO SONS.
The elder brother never longs to
satisfy the divine cravings of his
father's love. I have DO sympathy
with some of the excuses that are
made for that prodigal son. I have
no sympathy with those who • de -
Clare that young men aro led astray
into the far country of sin because
they have generous impulses and
abnormal affectionsand therefore
cannot say no to the,tenapter. That
prodigal was an 'ingrate, every way
you take him. He was a selfish,
contemptible, cliesolute rake. No
man is large hearted who will take a
friend to a saloon or open a bottle
of wine at a club when in 'order to
do it he makes his own schildren ko
hungry and dress in rags. No gen-
erous hearted young man will, go
into the far country of sin and reck-
lessly squander his money when' at
the same time he knows that his old
father is weeping at home, with his
eyes a fountain of tears ; but,
though that younger. son was a sel-
fish, despicable character, the elder
was justas despicable. When the
elder brother heard the music which
signaled the parental leyover the.
repentant prodigal's return ; when
he saw the eyes of his father glisten-
ing with love and his cheeks flush-
ing with a holy thankfulness, he
would have rejoiced for his father's
sake if he had not .been selash and
would not have tried to stab the
old man to the heart. Did he not
say in effect r "Yes, we shall drive
that dissolute debauchee back to his
swine trough. Then we can have
the pleasure of seeing father again
restlessly pacing the floor through
the long, weary hours of the night."
Did he not want to hear that dear,
old, gentle, forgiving father again
moan over his wayward boy as
David mourned over his- dead son
Abusalimoint ?e
Ides brother had been the
right kind of a son, he would have
seen what joy came into the father's
heart, at the return of his repentant
Son. I -Te would have immediately
said : "What difference does Money
make if I can only make father
happy ? Away with the question of
dollars and cents if my brother's re-.
turn is -only a true return." So ev-
ery Christian. to -day, if he is the
right kind of a Christian, does not
think about the social condition of
his repentant fellow man. He Ira -
mediate -1y says, when the publican
bows at the mercy seat : "Oh, the
look of triumphant love which is
upon my Divine Father's face. Oh,
the celestial musie which in great
tidal waves. of sound is rolling
through the golden boulevards of
the New Jerusalem. Oh, the angelic
voices in heaven which are every-
where shouting the glad tidings ;
'The prodigal haS returned' to his
Father's house 1' " There ought to
be joy an earth as well as joy in
heaven over ono sinner that re-
penteth. There ought to be the
same joy Which the good shepherd
felt when he found his sheep that
was lost ; the same joy which the
once frantic wife experienced when
she recovered the lost piece of silver,
which was part of her wedding

and worstip, but these skeptical
elder brothers go forth into the
groat, wide, sieful world and by
their practical behavior scatter
their ideal spiritual theories to the
four winds,
When the reformed drunkard comes
home, they cry out "What is the
good of letting that unprincipled
loafer into the house ? He is just
like other drunkards. He, is only
repenting for a little while so that
he may get some Money out of us

When the young girl who has led a
dissolute life wants to lead a pure
life, instead of finding the willing
arms of forgiveness hold Out to her
by her elder sisters she finds only
the shut doors of a contemptuous
rebuke. Why ? Beeause the cynical
elder sisters do not believe that a
Prodigal woman with a black past
can ever, even by divine power, be
changed into a sainted woman with
a spotless feture. The criminal has
served bie penitentiary terni and is
liberated from the stone cell. Is the
greet world at large ready to for-
give him and receive him back into
honorable employment if he repents?
Oh, no 1 The elder brothers and
elder sisters are so bitter against
the ex -convicts that many a. repent-
ant one has deliberately returned. to
hi crimes because he could earn a
living in no other way.
THE FATHER'S FORGIVENESS.
The other day a person ask -ed me
what I considered the most beauti-
ful sentence • in the parable. This
was my answer ! "It is not to be
found in the geed father's dealings
with the y ounces, but with the
elder son. When the servant came
in and tow the good father that
his elder boy was acting unfilially
and unbrotherly, the father did not
lose his patience. Ile did not send
a peremptory command to his elder
son to come to him at eaee, as he
had a right to do, but, as a ser-
vant, he left the banquet hall. He
went out into the darkness of the
night and placed his arni gently
about his sinful elder son's neck,
as Je answered in a pleading, yearn-
ing voice, "Son, thou est ever with
Me, and all that I have is thine.'
That is as much as to say : 'My
.boy, my dear boy, 1. ani not trying
to do you any injustice. I shall not
take away any of .your inheritance.
All that I have is yours. What
long for is for the love and the
purity of my children. I want iny
two boys to be always by my side.
Come, my child ; come back to your
father's love. Come back into the
old homestead which I have prepared
for you.' " Oh, that answerto me
is beautiful I That answer is the
sweetest, gentlest, most loving and
yet most pleading rebuke over
spoken by the lips of any of the
characters of the Bible. That is -a
Christ love pleading for you and
for me to tome into the Father's
house and nestle as a lamb in his
b°srl
1et, after all, the most impressive
part of the elder brother's history
is the abrupt 'way in which the par-
able ends. There is no doubt the
younger son was forgiven. No doubt
the repentant prodigal was able to
enjoy the rest and the home plea-
sures of the father's house. But
how about that cynical, self satis-
fied and complaining elder brother ?
Did he ask forgiveness of his father?
Did he go into the banquet where
the feast was being celebrated ? • I
do not know. I cannot tell. The
parable ends with tho earnest plea
of the father. We must take the rest
as We will. Personally I ha.ve my
doubts about the ,,salvation of that
elder brother. It is sometimes far
easier for the sinner clown in the
slums to come to Christ than for
the rich son living la a luxurious
palace. A London missionary was
one nigh i called up to go to a dying
girl. This wayward child at the
time was living in a dissolute house.
When the missionary entered the
room, he found a sinful sister hold-
ing in her arms the head of the dy-
ing.girl, and she was saying te"Jen-
nie,it is all right. Put your love
and trust in Jesus. He died. for
just such sinful girls as we, are.
Jennie, put your faith in Jesus
Christ." Yes, we can all feel .that
Christ died for the Prodigal son,
but it is awfully hard for some of
tho sinful elder brothers and sisters
to feel that it was necessary for
Jesus Christ to die for them " and
their. sins. My elder brother in sin,
are you going to stay out of your
Father's house ? "Are you going to
refuse to put your faith in Christ
and come into the Marriage banquet
of the Lamb ?

that no manner of testimony or ser-
vice amounts to anything apart
frOm love. As "love" and not
"charity" is the proper word, and
it is so translated In the R. V., we
will use it through this lesson.
These first three verses might be
summarized as --Love versus proph-
esies, tongues, knowledge, faith,
goods, etc., and the whole chapter
might be called, Loses contrasted,
analyzed, defended, it is said to be
the ohly chapter in all Patire epis-
tles that does not mention Jesus in
one or other of His titles, but it is
a, portrait 'so wonderful that one
eannet fail to recognize the, likeness
even without the name. The Lord
Jesus combined all in Hirneeit, the
picture is His, and without Him we
are nothing and can do nothing
(Rom. vii, 18; John xv, 5). Until
we are born again and thus become
children of God nothing counts that
we do, for "they that are in the
flesh cannot please Gocl" (Rom. viii,
8). Then after we are bora again
only that which God works in us
W111 count, as we saw in last week's
lessou, and "God is Love" (I John
iv. 8, 16). Not the oft repeated 1,
1, I of these,verses and contrast Gal.
11, 20; 1 Cor. xv, 10, "Not I, hilt
Christ who liveth in me ;" "Not
I, but the grace of C4od which was
with ine.",
4-7, Love suffereth long and is
kind ; love envieth not ; love vaunt-
ed not itself, is not pulled up, cloth
not behave itself unseemly, seeketh
provoked, thinketh no evil.
What a perfectly beautiful section
we have in these four verses, two of
which we have quoted. Such love
was never fully seen on earth except
in Christ Jesus, and only as He
fills and lives in us can it be re-
produced. Try td imagine a person
who is always patient, never in word
or look or act unkind, never in any
way jealous or self seeking, never
under any circumstances provoked
(11..V.), never thinking or saying
evil of anyone, rejoicing only in
things true and lovely and always
meekly bearing, patiently enduring
and ever hoping for the best, with a
firm faith in God. It is too alto-
gether lovely to come from earth,
and it is not of earth ; it is wholly
heavenly, It is a description of
Him who cattle down from heaven,
who while he lived on earth for
over thirty years was at the sense
time in heaven (John HI, 18), of
whom it is written, "Yea, Ile is al-
together lovely"(S. of Sol, v, 16).
8. Love never faileth, but whether
there be prophesies they shall fail ;
whether there be tongues they shall
cease ; whether there be knowledge
it shall vanish away.
He says: "I am the Lord. I
change not" (Mal. iii, 6). He who
says "1 will never leave thee nor
forsake thee" is the only One who
said, "I have ioved the with an
everlasting love." And He is .the
same yesterday, to -day ancl forever
(Heb. xiii, 5, 8; Jer. xxxi, '3). There
will be no more need Of prophecy,
for every prophecy shall have been
fulfilled. There shall be but one
language, and all we now know by
the word of Ood shall be actually
realized in the kingdom.
9, 10. For we know in part and
we prophesy in part, but when that
which is perfect is come, then that
which is in part shall be done away.
All that we know is found in the
word of God, and there is to every
statement and truth in such breadth
and length and depth end height
that we shall never while here graep
fully all that there is inany utter-
ance of the Spirit. We may well
say concerningall we have as yet
learned, "Lo, these ate but the out-
skirts of His Ways,' and how small
a whisper do we hear of Him" (Job
movi,44, IL V.). "Tice path of the
just is as the shining light that
shineth more and more unto the per-
fect day" (Prov. iv, 18).
11, 12. For now we see through a
glass darkly, but then face to face;
now I know in part. but then shall
I know even as also I am known.
When once the glory and light of
heaven shine in our souls, the things put it with -the oysters, and parboil
which once occupied and interested until the edges curl. Skim out the

The question is often asked. Shall
we know each other in heaven? Ts
not the answer found here? We do
not know any one fully here, but we
shall know them fully there, and
those whom we know here we shall
surely know better there. It refers
to people as well as to truths. As

1.0. And now abideth feith, hope,
love, these, three, btft the greatest el
these is love.
Faith looks, to the great -szterifice
for pardon, love to a risen Christ
gives us fellowship with.Eint in suf-
fering and service, while hope looks
to His. coming again. In 1 Thess.
8, 9, 10, 'We see how they turned to
God intern idols, to serve the living
and true God and to wait for His
Son from heaven, and so we read of
their work of faith, labor of love
and patience or. hope. The love of
God is the greatest thing -We over
heard of, the greatest thing ever
Seen on earth (John. iii,s16; I John
iii, 16; •Rorre v, 8), and yet of all
things the least understood or ap-
preciated. On our part. the greatest
thing is ve,ith, for "without faith it
is impossible to please God" (Bob
xi, 6), but love Is the foundation of
our faith, as it is written, "We have
known rind belieVed the love which

TESTED REoxpEs.
Barley Soup. — The two reCiPes,afollow'
mended for the sick sof:LIT
ing soup recipes, espec
one pint of slightly salted boiling
reTcoarnice-
water and into this stir (slowly)
about two-thirds of an even cupful
of barley flakes, or enough to make
a thick mash when it is swollen.
Stir constantly and cook until the
large bubbles have ceased to b-urst
Then set the boiler over boiling wa-
ter and cook a half-hour. 'Turn it
into a bowl, smooth off the top and
pour over it a little cold water to
prevent the formation of a crust.
When the patient is ready for a por-
tion smooth it in cold milk—if it is
desirable to have it very fine—sift it.
Then thin it to the desired coasist-
ency with hot milk, or cream, aad,
add a pinch of salt. In this way a
small portion of gruel may be pre-
pared quitay and often. Enough of
the mush for one day only should be
cooked at. one time. This soup has
been given with satisfactory results
in severe cases of dysentery. It is
also soothing and nourishing.
Mutton Juice.—Out one pound of
raw mutton, from the leg, into thin
shavings and carefully remove all the
fat. Spread the slices, close to-
gether, on a long fine piece of clean
cheesecloth; sprinkle with fine salt,
roll up the cloth tightly and tie it
Then place it in a meat press or be-
tween heavy weights and thus
sqtteeze out all the juice. Serve
with broken ice, or heat it slightly
and serve without straining.
A Simple Nourishing Dish.—Bread
and milk, and'crackers and milk, are
classed as very simple dishes; yet,
nevertheless, they do not agree with
all people. Those who cannot eat
them without an uncomfortable sen-
sation of fullness rim- like to try the
following dish: Have some perfect-
ly made and baked Graham or whole
wheat bread, slice it thin and pour
over it a little thin cream—about
three tablespoonfuls to, each slice;
sprinkle sparingly with salt. Person-
ally, I would prefer this for ray des-
sert' to either pie or pudding.
Oyster Rolls. — Shape some well -
risen light bread dough into small
round forms and put them into well -
greased muffin pans. Let them rise
until very light, then bake them in
a quick oven, • decreasing the heat
when they are brown, and let them
remain until very thoroughly done.
Whencold cut a small slice from the
top and scoop or pun out the inside,
being careful not to break the
crust. Don't throw away the in-
side, but put it in a moderate oven
and let it dry and brownaslightly
one and use it as you do pulled bread,
ot
or roll it for crumbs. Pick over
pint of oysters, strain the liquor,

and wash them in a bowl of clear
water, Pat a layer in a Ismail dish,
sprinkle with salt, pepper, a pinch
of mace and bits of butter. Then
cover with a layer of bread crumbs.
Repeat this process till you have
used the oysters. Ila-ve the top lay-
er of crumbs thick enough to hide
the oysters. Strain the liquor and
pour over it, and let stand for a few
minutes. Then pour over all half a
cup of Milk, and bits of butter at
intervals to make a rich crust. Bake
fifteen to twenty minutes.
Macaroni. — Two ounces of cheese,
one pint of milk, a scant ounce of
butter, a pinch of salt, a little pep-
per,' Boil the macaroni tea min-
utes, turn off the water and pour on
the milk with half the cheese and
butter and boil for five minutes.
Then put the whole in a dish with
the remainder of the cheese and cov-
er the top with a layer bread crumbs
and bits of butter. Brown in the
oven and serve at once,
