NOTES AND COMMENTS
The
Labor party likely
play en
Important part in the new British House
r
e Commons, not only because its avow-
er)
voved tnembers number nearly fifty, but
also because many of the Liberals, to
order to secure the support of Union
Labor at the ballot box, promised to
co-operate' in carrying out Its pro-
gramme: Among the demands of the
Laborites will be an amendment of the
piesent law ooncerntng associations,
which, as interpreted by the courts,
Hwy consider extremely unsatisfactory.
They seem equally determined to bring
about some changes in the House cf
Commons which would transform ma-
terially the character of that assembly.
They will Insist, we are told, that mem-
bers be paid, that the statutory term of
Parliament be shortened, and that the
work of the House be done by day in-
stead of by night.
There is no doubt tint the paymnt
cf members of the House of Commons
would alter the composition of that
body from a socia) point of view. This
is so clearly understood that the British
precedent was followed in Germany and
Italy for the undisguised purpose of
keeping any but men of independent
fortunes from entering the popular
branchrof the national legislature. When
of the formation of the North German
Confederation, Bismarck reluctantly
agreed that the Reichstag should he
chosen by universal suffrage, he insist-
ed on the non-payment of his members
as a safeguard. Against this non-pay-
ment the Liberals and Socialists have
continuality protested, and the Reich-
stag has often passed bills providing
salaries for members, which the Bun-
dosrath has always rejected. In 1885,
when the Socialist representatives re-
ceived stiponds from their own party,
Bismarck, claiming that such a proceed-
ing was illegal, caused the Treasury to
sue them for the money obtained In this
way, and the imperial Court of Ap-
peal upheld the claim. In France, on
the other hand, the members of Parlia-
ment are peed, and so they are in some
of the smaller German States, as, for
example, Bavaria
The practice of transacting the busi-
ness of the House of Commonse In the
eceni•ig Instead of by daylight has not
hren followed nn the European contin-
ent nor in the United States. If the
Laborites succeed in breaking up this
custom the number of lawyers in the
Hnuee will undoubtedly be diminished.
Hitherto lawyers have been able to do
professional work during the day and
attend to legislation in the evening.
That is doubtless the reason why there
is a much larger proportion of mem-
hers of the bar in the House of Com-
mons than in most other European leg -
!Matures. That the Laborites will be
able to secure a repeal of the Septenni-
al -act is by no means impossible. In
view of the wide -spread disgust at Mr.
Balfour's retention of office long after
he end his party were known to have
cost ate confidence of the country. If
a change is made in the statutory term.
it will probably take the form of a revi-
val of the Triennial act, which was op-
erative in England about two hundred
ears ago.. Tho term ofthe lower

house of the Austrian Reichsrath is six
year;, that of the Reichstag five years.
that of the Italian Chamber of Deputies
the same, that of the French Chamber
of Deputies four years, and that of the
ponular branch of the Swiss Parliament
threw years. There was at ono time in
England among the Radicals a good
deal of agitation for annual Parliaments,
but it is probable, as we have said, that
three years will be adopted as a com-
promise if any change is made. With
raid members working by daylight and
compelled to face their constituents
twice as often as they are now, the
(Rinse of Commons will be a very dif-
ferent body from that which exists to.
day.
LOCKWOOD'S REPARTEE,
The late Sir Frank Lockwood had few
superiors in the art of repartee. The
.genial lawyer was a tall man, a fact
which caused an unruly cumber of at
audience he was addressing nn one oc-
casion to rudely call out to him in the
middle of his speech, "Go 1t, telescope!"
"My friend is mistaken in applying
that lam to me," Sir Frank quietly said;
"he ought to claim It for himself, for.
though he cannot draw me out., I think
I ecu .see through him and shut him up,''
On another occasion one of his poli-
tical, opponents interrupted with: -
"All lawyers are rogues."
"I am glad," Sir Frank quietly re-
joined, "10 greet, this gentleman a8 a
member at my profession, butt he ned
not Proclaim our shortcomings to the
world."

RELIG1O AND 4;LS1NFSS
As Much Danger of a Man Losing His Character
in the Church as in the Street.
Providing for honest things, not only
In the sight of elle Lord but In the sight
of mon.-it. Cor, vitt., 21.
The question, can a man be a Chris-
tian unl succeed in business, though old,
is still asked every day. There are yet
a great, Horny who regard religton and
business as conllicliug pursuits, and
they attempt n'contpromise by the clear•
cut division of time into business hours
and church time
If the question means, can a man take
out his backbone and succeed in busi-
ness, there need be no hesitancy as to
the answer. If becotning a Christian
means the elimination of all virilil.y from
the character, the substitution of soft
soap and sewder for strength and dili-
gence, religion cannot be regarded as a
help in business. There are too many
people who think that sloth is a sign of
spirituality and that you cannot be a
saint unless you have softening of the
brain.
The question is either a reproach to
religion or to business. It is assumed
by many, with especial conviction by
those who know business only by repu-
tation, that it demands the samrif)ce con-
stantly of honor. truth, mercy, and every
other virtue. The man who thinks that
he is pious because he is pulseless, Brews
a fancy picture of red-blooded men fight-
ing, intriguing, slaying, like demons
new from the pit; and that, he thinks, s
MODERN BUSINESS.
Strife is everywhere. If religion means
sequesteauon from temptation we neer(
to pray to be delivered from it. There le
as much danger of a man's losing hi"
character, selling his soul, In the church
as in the market. The temptation to the
merchant to misrepresent his goods for
a larger profit .is not greater than Thai
which comes to the minister to magnify
his abilities for an incresse in fame.
Things honorable are the same every-
where; they are written deep within us.
and by them church and mart both nee
judged. Every man knows that the chief
business of life, whether through com-
merce, toll, study, recreation, or woe•
ship, is to develop the best life, to:make
of himself a true, full grown man, who
shall lender to this world a full mans
service.
Business iss a more effective school of
character than any other we have. 11
some of the slenderds of that school
have been unworthy -and who shall
say they have not? -ft is our duly to re-
vise them, to matte them higher; not lo
abolish the school. nor to stay away
from it because It Is imperfect, but to
make 11 fit to serve its True purpose.
Business always will be immoral es
long as it is an end In itself. The pro-
duct is greater than the machine, the
making of character greater than the
mechanism by which we melee a living.
TILE SERIOUS DANGER
comes wben a man begins to lay his
soul on the counter, when he reverses
the course in this school of character
and makes the end serve the means;
sacrifices honor, Truth, and the soul that
business may succeed.
Only fattere lies that way. No busi-
ness ever became permanently great by
making Es people small. Success here
is to be measured by the soul. No nat-
ter what a men may be doing he mush
keep himself above his task. The work
must serve the worker.
The question is whether we are serv.
trig business or is 11 serving us? If a
elan lives for his wage he will sacrifice
everything to get it, but if he works that
he may 11nd hue, then he will ever refuse
to lose the things of which life is made
in the pursuit of success. He knows he
does not have to make money, but, he
does have to make manhood. That s
the end both of religion and of business.

THE S. S. LESSON
INTERNATIONAL LESSON,
MARCH 4.
Lesson IX. Jesus Tells Who Are Blessed.
Golden Text: Matt. 5. 8.
LESSON WORD STUDIES.
Note. -The Text of the Revised Ver-
sion is used as a basis for these Word
Studies.
A Connected Discourse. -The fact that
the other gospels contain parallel ac-
counts of shorter portions of the passage
10 Matthew known es the Sermon on the
Mount has led some to question whether
in reality Jesus did deliver these teach-
ings in the form of a connected dis-
course, tie suggestion of some aemmen-
lators being that` possibly Matthew
merely collected the teachings of Jesus
concerning the kingdom of heaven,
uttered at different times and under
different circumstances, into a con-
nected whole, nut intending to give the
impression that he was recording what
he considered to bo a connected address
or sermon. But a careful reading of
Matt. 5. 1, 2, ("And seeing the multi-
tudes, he went up into the mountain:
and when he had sat down, his disciples
came unto hien: and he opened his
mouth and taught them"), with Matte 7.
20. ("And taught them as one leaving
authority, and not as their scribes. And
when he came down from the mountain,
great multitudes followed him"), makes
it plain that the author of the gospel
himself meant to convey the impression,
and consequently that he himself be-
lieved, that what he recorded in that
part of his narrative witch we now
know as chapters 5, 8, and 7, was a
connected discourse of Jesus.
It is not unlikely that Jesus, having
clearly set forth in one connected ser-
mon certain principles referring to the
kingdom of heaven, repeated under
other circumstances and before other
audiences parts of this longer sermon,
as occasion demanded that separate
truths already uttered be emphasized.
A study of the sermon Itself indicates
that it is a connected whole, with a dell-
niie theme and method of treatment.
Its theme Is the Kingdom of Heaven.
In verses 3-16 of chapter 5 Jesus speaks
of the subjects or citizens of this king-
dom, and of their cha•anter and cour-
age, and their responsibility. He next
speaks of the kingdom of heaven In its
relation to the law, and to the l'harasaio
rules with which that law had been
hedged about. In the last part of the
sermon he speaks of the characteristics
peculiar to the kingdom; the principles
on whiuh judgment is administered, the
Father's love to the children of the
kingdom, and the narow entrance there-
to, the danger of false guides, and a
),arable of the subjects of the kingdom
as distinguished from those who are
not.
Verse 1. The m hIliluders--In the last
verse of the preceelingchapter t hatiheW
mentions the multitudes which were
following Jesus everywhere as ho went
from place to place in Galilee. With a
reference to these multitudes he now
introduces his narrative of what oc-
curred on one special occasion.
The mo stain -The use of the article
tndlcates that a deeinite well-known hill
or mountain was intended, but which
ono it le not possible to say. Delitzsch
cells the mount of beatitudes the "Sinai
of the New Testament."
Ills disciples -The word "disciples"
means literally learner, and Is here to
be taken in its broader sense, ns not
reslriated to the twelve.
2. Taught them -That is, his disciples
and the multitudes with them.
3, Blessed -The word translated
"blessed" is thought to none from a root
word meaning great, in the sense of out
ward presperlty, In early c)asloai (break
it was applied more especially to the
gods who were Considered great bemuse
of their power and dignity rather than
because of their goodness or hollnakss,
A little later it was applied also to the
dead, especially to heroes who had died
in battle. The Greek philosophers from
Socrates onward use 1t in a sense in-
cluding
rcluding the moral element, but In the
Bible alone is the word lifted into the
region of the spiritual as distinguished
from the merely material and intellec-
tual. Even ht the Old Testament usage
of the term there remains more of the
sense of outward prosperity Than in the
New Testament. It is interesting to
note how this word "passed up into ...0
higher region of Christian thought and
was stamped with the gospel signet and
laden with all the richness and signifi-
cance of gospel blessedness."
Poor in spirit --Those conscious of
their deep spiritual needs.
4. They that mourn -There is noth-
ing in the meaning of the word "mourn"
or of the sentence in which it occurs
that would limit this phrase to !hose
who mourn on account of their spiritual
poverty or sinfulness, .though it is not
imnrobable that Jesus had such especial-
ly in mind,
5. The meek -We have here another
word which Christianity has lifted to a
higher plane. Literally, the word means
mild or gentle, but the quality of meek-
ness in human character was not con-
sidered praiseworthy by heathen philo-
sophers. Thus Aristotle calls meekness
a mean inclining to a defect." Chris-
tian meekness is based on humility.
and is an outgrowth of renewed nature
qratheruality. than being solely a natural
6. Righteousness -Rightness of life
and conduct in the sight of God.
Shall he tilled -This verb in the ori-
ginal is very strong, indicating com-
plete satisfaction of hunger and thirst.
8. Pure to heart, -Heart here refers to
Inner soul -life controlling the entire
personality (comp. Gen. 42. 28; Psa, 10.
14; Prov. 4. 23; Luke 12. 34):
Shall see God -The development df
Christian character subsequent to the
cleansing of life's motives brings with
it a gradual unveiling 01 001, whose
poor, holiness, and love appear more
and more plainly to those who are pure
to thought and life.

vice is a benediction to all about them.

derstood and for that or other reasons
opposed and ridiculed may be said to he
persecuted for righteousness' sake.
11. Falsely -The mere fact that a

of, even if the persecution and slander
is out of all proportion to the offense, is
not sufficient; only when all this is
brought upon it person wholly unjustly.
that is, when the person is entirely in.
noeent, is there cause on his part for the
rejoicing mentioned in the next verse.
12. The prophets that were before

ciples on an equality with Old 'festa,
meat prophets, Wo have here a hint
td the broader meaning of that word
"prophets," A prophet was a teacher,
one who proclaimed the truth, the teas
not being limited in its apnlientton to

is often used in the factories), make four
sections, exacliy_.like a large mattress,
so the tour corner's will meet in the cen•
tiro of the bed, filling them with wool,
if you can afford it, or husks, if you are

either side. If husks are used, stele
them fine with a strong steal fork, and
pack the sections solidly. it excelsior,
pile it on a canvas or clean floor, and
pull it all out loosely before putting it
in the ticks; It will make a much more
comfortable bed so.
Finish each section just like the large
mattress you have been using, sewing
tape along the edges to lie them toge-
ther, or buttons and loops fastened to
the under side of the binding. Now,

ONLY !HALF USED.
Professor See calculates the total
amount of heat stored up in the stn, and
shows that when a star or sun is made
up of single atoms only one -halt of the
heat developed In condensation is radia -
led away, while the rest is stored up.
Hence it follows that one-half of all the
heat produced by Iho sun since eternity
is still stored up fa' future radiation,
This leads to the conclusion that Tho fin
lure duration of the sun will be at lout
three limes that of rho past.
Some scientists have supposed that
the sun's light and (teat are beginning Lo
fail,' but Dr. See shows by calculation
that Lhe sun's activity is still rising and
that the have as yet by no means retched
the zenith of glory in the life of the sokir
system, This conclusion is verified and
applied to the stars of the milky way,
and he shows that their brilliant light is
duo to this accumulation of heat winds
their flaming globes.
When we look upon the stars at night,
therefore, 00 ars to remember that a
little more than 50 per cent, of their
light and heat from eternity is stili
stored up for future radiation. Ilene,
the future duration of the universe will
bo immense and the stars are by no
means dying out, us some have sup-
posed. -
