We shall lead sinful meta and women as did Simon Peter when he tureed (Ekattired according to Act of the Bar - Dement of Canada. in the yeer One Thousand Nine Inindred and Three, .by Wm. teeny, 9f Toronto, at the Department of Agriculture, Ottawa.) A despatch from Chicago says; - Rev. Frank De Witt Talmage preach- ed from the following text: Matthew xi., 29, "Learn of Inc." The school -house is the great, re- servoir in which are collected the streams of knowledge, which. leve flowed down tram the ages. It is the place where scholars can climb upon the bread shoulders ot the in- tellectual giantsof the past and the preseat and see as far as they have seen, because those shoulders are lifting those students' heads toward the stars. It is the place in which man is taught how to Merriest, the winds and lasso the electricity and tap the oil wells and contribute to the common wealth and development of his brother Man, so that all working together may eause the "de- sert to blossom as the tose." We would eulogize that compound word of eleven letters called the "school -house," But, after all, ,the "school -house" is merely a represen- tative term. Its true value is not in the intrinsic worth of the bricks and stones ,and wood which compose its buildings; it is in the spiritual and . intellectual worth of the men and the women who stand behind its teachers' desks. Students from far and near came to sit at the feet of Hiliel and • his famous grandson Gamaliel, although for the most part those teachers had no buildings of aey worth. Plato was the disciple of Socrates and the teacher of Aris- totle, who is the founder of the aca- demic school famous the world round, yet for the most part. these men bad the street corners for their classrooms and the hillsides for their -laboratories. They were poor in pocket, though rich in brains. The Divine Teacher is our theme. If we have not yet learned the value of Jesus Christ as an instructor, then let us learn it now in the com- mand of my text. Jesus in these three words recorded in Matthew em- phasizes the great fact that from him, and him alone, we can learn the great gospel lessees we ought to learn. Thus to -day I would grasp the ropes of the village school -house and the city church bells as the col- lege sexton holds his bell rope, and as I pull and the church bells swing backward and forward and the silver notes of these bells go echoing down the valleys until they plunge up against the sounding boards of the hills I would cry as a gospel minis- ter: "Come to school! Come to school! All ye who would learn of Jesus, come to school, come to school!" Is not this the meaning of mv text, "Learn of me?" THE aosput CLASSROOM. The gospel classroom, in the first place, has in Christ an authoritative teacher. I invite you with confi- dence to sit at his feet because he has a right to teach. He speaks not only because as a human being he has learned what we ought to learn, but he comes clothed with di- vine authority. His credentials are higher than those of any huxaan teacher. They proceed from God himself. He is the Son and the co- equal of God the Father. Ile comes tp us a conqueror clothed in white vesture, "and on his thigh a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords." "For he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes." In this age of intellectual progress it is absolutely essential for every true teacher, whether - of the higher or the lower grades, to have his or her credentials. For instance: If I wish to educate one of my little girls to be a public school teacher I say to her: "Now, daughter, your future life occupation 'depends entire- ly upon yourself and your work. 1 am going to send you through the common public school. I believe every child should go there, be she rich or poor, black or white, Jew or gentile or Catholic. In order to produce the best types of citizens all classes of children should stand shoulder to shoulder and hand in hand at the school desk. Then I will send you to the high school, then to the normal. Then, when you have your different diplomas, you Can go before the state board or county board of examiners and have your knowledge tested. Then, if you pass, your teacher's certife- cates.will be given you, But, daugh- ter, you cannot teach in any public school unless you are an authorita- tive teacher -unless you have your credentials. Without them you can- not even be a cadet or a substitute for a day." AN AUTHORITATISTE, TEACHER. Now, my friends, as gospel stud - exits, are you ready to accept Jesus Christ as an authoritative teacher? Are you ready to accept him as the Son of God? rA few weeks ago a gentleman wrote. to a friend of Mine a pathetic letter, which went something like this: "Oh, why do the ministers keep on preaching upon useless arid impractical subjects? Why dothey not preach upon some of the vital questions 6f the soul? A short time ago the doctors told me that within six months I must die. What want to know is how I can straighten out, a wasted lik So as to meet my God." Well, my brother, if these words should ever be seen by your eye or repeated to your ear, the first step kr you to take is to accept Jesus as the Divine Teacher. You aro not to accept hiei as did Joseph Ernest 1tenan, "as a good man." 'Yoe must hot accept hhn.as do many, as a religioes leader like ,Sloliainmed or Buddha or Zoreaster or ConfuciuS. You are not to ac- cept hIni as a seer or prophet, a ,Toliti the Baptist, an Elias or a Jeremiah. You are to accept him to his altar or drive them farther and said, 'Mott art Christ, the on eeeey. .asre are the eget 01 the of the Living God," Aro you reatlY We ere the salt of the to aecept the aathoritative jesuse earth." "We are the cities set up- as divine? on a hill which cannot be hid," As Oh, the credentials of the teacher, gospel students we are Christ's Christ!

We can understand now our Divine Teacher's inaugural message : out, spend their lives expounding "Blessed aro they that mourn;" and explaining and catechising bei "Blessed are they who hunger and hind a teacber's desk, thirst," for under his blessed teach - SCHOOLTEACHERS' TRIALS. kg we have learned that "all things work together for good to them that love God." The second purpose of this text is to send you forth as gospel evange- lists. You are to go up and down the street and preach everywhere the sweet story of Jesus. You are to do this because if you aro true gos- pel students you will as naturally talk about your Divine Teacher as a bird hatched under a songstress' wing will sing; as a seed dropped from a rosebud will develop into a rose; as a dewdrop first touched of the morning sun will sparkle like a diamond; as a dying sunset will gild the overhanging clouds with passe- menteries of gold. May this ser- mon be the means under the power of the Holy Spirit to lead you into the gospel class -room. May it also be the means of sending you forth, one and all, as gospel teachers. Just think of the fractious human sacrifice of an earthly teacher for her pupils compared to that which colts the average public school teacher has to train. A great many parents send their children to school in order to get rid of them as well as to have their brain developed. They cannot stand the boy's racket at honie, so they expect the public teacher to supply the neglected ma- ternal discipline. God pity the young graduate of the normal school, who bersell is hardly old enough to be a mother, and yet has to keep in line every day thirty or forty boys and girls, most of whom hate not yet learned what the word "obedience" means! But, oh my brother, what is the the Divine Teacher has made for us? Is tbere any patience like unto his patience ? Any forgiveness greater than his. forgiveness? Any martyr- dom like unto his martyrdom? Bur- ing the life of the late Thomas Gal- l'HE LEssoN, landet, that noble Christ -like teacher sent by God to serve the American deaf mutes, he often spent days and INTERNATIONAL LESSON, weeks and months over one pupil OCT. 11. teething him how to pronounce a single vowel sound.

Whether it be through But the Divine Teacher Christ has dividual, as Abel, Enoch; Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Daniel, Daxid or a far greater purpose than to merely save his gospel students. Ile teaches any other king, priest or prophet, or I his disciples, who sit at his feet in through Israel as a nation, or the ' order that - they may become like church as the body of Christ, God: him, how they in turn may carry desires to reveal Himself in some his message and truth to the farther- measure as Be fully did in Christ nicst parts of the earth. Re looks upon his students with respect to their future, as every true instruc- tor ought to do. I once read of a famous teacher who never entered his classroom but he always took off his hat and bowed before his schol- ars as though he was coining into the presence of a king, "for," he said, "no one knows what future ruler or leader of the people may be developing under my touch. There- fore I wish to show my students proper respect." Christ.in the same way is looking at his gospel students through the eyes of prophecy. He is the Divine Instructor, who teaches his disciples that hrough them we may learn the way of life. ITe is was unlike any other nation on earth inasmuch as God had redeem - Jesus, and th.e great question ever is, "who, then, is willing to conse- crate his service this day unto the Lord ?" (1 Chron. xxix, 5.) If there is the least leaning to our own understanding there will be failure, It must be the wisdom of God„ and that alone, from first to last. In our last lesson we saw how the wisdom of David and all his counselors only brought trouble, but as soon as they obeyed God all wa.s well with them. Now, 3Daedd has a suggestion which commends it- self even to the prophet Nathan, who says to David, "Go, do all that is in thine !kart, for the Lord is With thee" (verse 3); but neither the king nor the prophet had the mind teaching his disciples in order that of God. The verses assigned as our the countless multitudes, groping lesson give us the mind of God as about in the darkness of heathen- revealed to Nathan, and through him to David, which both accept as soon as thy know it. At this day the church is lull of plans which she is laboring to work out and which may prove only wood, hay and stub- ble (I. Cor. 111, 11-15), because they are like David and Nathan agreeing to build a temple without seeking first to know the mind of God. The building of a temple was all right raid would come to pass in God'S time and way, and the Lord tienually gave David the plan of it by His spirit, (I. Chien. xxviii, 11, 12, 19), but now Dvic1 neust learn something More important and far reaching, and the message of God through the prophet is, "The Lord telleth thee that He -Will make thee an house, * * and thy throim shall be established forever (verses 11, 16). So David ig told, to hie great surprise, of an everlasting kiegdorn, and a :King, his Son, who shall reign. forever. In other words„ David is told that the seed of the woman wile is to bruise the serpent's heed; the seed 'of Abra- ham who is to bless all netions, is to be his seed also and Sit upoit is throne. That David so understood it is evi- dent .troln Irene 19, and irons Acts done may through us be brought in- to saving touch with the cross. FOR.THE WEAK AND outimass. We have often read how herioc deeds in martial life have saved an army for an earthly king. Can we not realize. how our deeds as the representatives of Christ can draw men to or drive them away from the cross? Many years ago a French army was battling under the hot and blasting Algerian sun. The forced niarchee and the counter Marches wbich that army was com- pelled to take were enough to kill an African negro, let alone a Euro- pese. Then in order to Increase the horror fatal cholera broke out in one regiment. Man after man died. The army became panic stricken, and all Worried to be lost. But one night Colonial Gterderens Wanted to prove that this dreaded disease was contagious "wholly through food and in nO other way." So he him_ self lifted one of the cholera corpses out of its bed. Then he turned te his men and said : "Now I will show you that cholera IS not iefectioue." will pass the night in this mans bed." IT raked the bed -clothes and lay noteseetand ,slept.

See this eorilirrned by the prophete and by Gabriel, the mighty angel in Tea. ix., 6, 7; Jer. =Ili., 5, 6a Enek. xxxvii., 21, 22; Lake i. 82, 83. See also in Matt. i„ 1, tad Rev. xxii., 16, the Lord Jesus spoken of in this relation, and let us in obedience to Ise. lxii., 6, 7, pray for the time when the covenant with David shall be fulfilled. When the Lord Jesus came in humiliatimi the kingdom heredeseribea was at hand,but When the people th whoM, IIe came rejected Him and determined to kill Him Ile thee taught them that the kingdom would be postponed till His return (Luke xix., 11-15). He found the house desolate and left it deso- late till His return because they would not, accept their deliverer (Matt xxiii., 88, 89), Our lesson is not the story of Solomon, but of Christ, and of Him not in relation to the church, but Israel in her k - tug any ooryoe Jed to the words in verse ea, 'elf be commit iniquity," as not being applicable to Chase., it may in- terest such to know that Bishop Horsley translates the passage, "When guilt is laid upon bine" and Dr. Clarke reads it, "In suffering for iniquity," it is Christ, according to liii.'suffering for Israel's and for our sins, Bishop HorseleY trans- lates the last • clause of verse 19, "And this is the arrangement about the Man." Luther has written upon this verse: "Thou spealtest of an eternal kingdom in which no men can be king. He must be God and Man, for he is to be My Son, and yet be is to be King forever." Let Berean Christians consider well the three .unconditional 'covenants of Scripture reticle by God with Noah and Abraham and David, and may the comfort that came to David come to all such, "Although my house be not so with God, yet He hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and sure" (II. Sam. :mill., 5). The comfort is found in the faithfulness of. God notwithstanding all our, un- faithfulness. See I. Cor. 1., 9; x., 13; I. Thess. v., 24. Concerning all the promises to us as children of God and joint heirs with elitist, by virtue of His precious blood, let our hearts say as David said, "Thou, 0 Lord God, hest spoken it. 41' * * * * Do as Thou has said" (verses 19, 25). But let us not think, as many no, that God will do otherwise than He has purposed, and that to think out a seemingly good plan and then seek God's blessing upon it is all that is necessary. God Himself must originate it or all will be vain. Let us therefore walk with Him. (Amos iii., 3). -a= :WELSH LADY 'VILLAGERS. There is a village in Wales, by name Llandryllin, which possesses a lady barber, a lady doctor, and a lady lamplighter. The lady barber has scraped the chins of men for forty years, and is an expert and adept at her vocation. Yet this Welsh lady is modest, unassuming, abd thinks little. of her achievements. The lady lamplighter has lit lamps enough. in her time to attract the inhabitants of Mars -if all the lights could have been condensed into one simultaneous bonfire -and no one has ever complained about bor. She never missed a lamp, never overslept herself by five minutes in the morn- ing when the lamps had to be ex- tinguished, and never failed to light a lamp at night at the precise time of her instructions. TREE DWELLERS ON SHOW. There will be horses in the tops of trees at the St. Louis Exhibition next sununer. They are intended for a tribe of Filipinos, who are to live in St. Louis just as they do in the Island of Luzon. Houses of the type which Robinson Crusoe built are found in several jungle -lands in islands to the south-east of Asia and on the Malay peninsula. Now and then a returned traveller tells of these aerial abodes, perched on the limbs of trees, sheltered from the sun and rain by thatches of leaves and twigs, and connected at times with the earth by a bamboo la.dder. --e • ENORMOUS STOCKYARDS. The largest stockyards in the world are in Chicago. The combined plants represent an investment of over $15,000,000. The yards con- tain twenty mlies of streets, twenty miles of water troughs, fifty miles of feeding troughs, and seventy-five miles of water and drainage troughs. The yards are capable of receiving and accommodating daily 20,000 cat- tle„ 20,000 sheep, and 120,000 hogs. A sure cure for indigestion, is to lie on the left side for fifteen or twenty minutes. The explanation is that lying on the left side "crowds the stomach." This lessens the capacity of the stoinach and forces the gas up through the tuisophagus. This will frequently bring relief. Af- ter the gas has been all forced out of the stomach, one can generally roll over on his back or right side, the journal continues, and go to sleep. Lamps should be filled every morn- ing, wicks trimmed, chimneys Wash- ed, and the lamps dusted. If Metal or brass they should be polished. A wick sbould be cut but once a week. Trim a wick by taking a piece of tissue paper and pinching the burnt part off; then onee a week cut it, and be sire to trim it round" not straight across; round elm ends slightly.
