Tho Pharisees ere net all dead; reli- gion still means to many no more !11011 a multitude of repressive 1'epnletiuns. 11s expression is confined to attitudes and platitudes, to forms and phrases. It thus becomes a choice hiding -place for pally hypocrites, while the doing of trivial or traditional nets is so empha- sized haat some ars led to think in all honesty that the cluing and enduring of these things satisfies every moral re- quirement. Sp far from the path of piety being hedged about with restrictions and its people burdened with meaningless loads; it is the way of liberty, the et- )argIng life, and the path in which men lose their burdens, straighten their backs, diff their heads, and set their eyes on truth• and freedom. But minds too indolent to climb, too small to enter into liberty, have determined to make religion Consist in no more than the wearing of badges or the bearing of un- pleasant ordeals and duties. Marty hold It a sin to have springs on their wagons, buttons on their coals, or Dowers in their hats, while the men will not wear suspenders. But the chances are that these same folk often carry ENMITY IN THEIR HEARTS, eherish revenge, jealousies, and bitter- ness; that the man who w1(• not have springs on his wagon manages to shake the small apples Into the bottom of the barrel just the same: All such regulations represent, the perennial attempt to substitute rules for principles, badges for being, and to satisfy the conscience with scrupulosity as to the gnat while exercising liberaiity and hospitality to the camel. Bending every effort to keep the law in the strictest manner, many Busily become blind to its spirit and purpose. The fads of religion are the worst foes of true faith. It does not take the keen and not always kindly critic long to learn that the man who asserts his holiness by wearing a hat of a peculiar shape or a while lie, or seen a badge in leis °oat lapel, ur a text en his 'Seri - front, is the enc whom it Is w')11 to w'aleh with Mat a little edea caution when you are buying his goads or doing business with him 151 any w•ay. It Is a poor kind of piety, utterly In- sufficient for working purposes, that can find all the exercise it needs in discus- 8ione and jealous guardings of cus- toms, In tithing with u microscope, in divisions on buttons, or even in texts unit pleases of teaching. When that stunted soul has served these ends it 1105 no cncrgy left to meet 100 emergencies of life's temptations or to spend on ordl- nury square dealing kindly living, or SELF-SACRIFICING. SERVICE, Yet the circumscribed hearts that In- vent these fads for their own satisfac- tion are sure to insist on laying them on others. There would be little satisfaction in inventing duties if we had to do them ourselves. They tell us we are traitors to the Leith it we refuse to wear their badges or If we dare to do the things in which they find no pleasure. We ourselves need to beware lest we take our own fads or appetites 001 set them up as standards for other souls. You will notice that it is the man with the weak stomach who is most ready to prove it a sin even to look with complaisance on a cigar. Many hearing the stern denunciations of dancing pro- nounced by people with petrified limbs have determined to choose the so-called life of sin with its natural pleasures in preference to the path of faith with its fads and funeral aspect., But faith does not consist in fads, re- strictions, denials. Religion is the soul's search after the best, the subjection of the lesser to the larger, the realization of and the entering upon relationships with the life spiritual, with things infi- nite, eternal and glorious. It Is the find- ing in life a meaning deeper than mam- mon, nobler and more enduring than all things. It is learning to live as a soul, as the Son of eternity. HENRY F. COPE. THE S. S. LESSON INTERNATIONAL LESSON, NOV. 4. Lesson V. The Lord's Supper. Golden Text: 1. Cor. 11 24. THE LESSON WORD STUDIES. Note. -The text of the Revised Version is used as a basis for these Word Studies. The Last Supper. -From the narrative of the synoptic Gospels plane the reader must inevitably derive the impression that the Last Supper of wisich Jesus par- took with his disciples on the eve of his passion was the Paschal meal (comp. Matt. 26. 2; 17.10; Mark 14. 111-16; Luke 22. 7-15). But commentators and New Testament scholars generally prefer to follow the clearer and more definite chronology of John who specifically dis- distinguishes 11110 supper from the pass - over feast which on the day of cruci- fixion was stili to be eaten. 'And they 'themselves entered not into the Prcetor- 1um, that they alight not be defiled, but plight eat the passover, Pilate there- fore went out auto them" (John 18. 28, 29). "For some Thought because Judas had the bag, that Jesus said Unto him, Buy what things we have need of for the feast" (John 13. 2:1). The two refer- ences just quoted indicate (1) that on the day of crucilxion in the morning the passover feast was still to be eaten by 'the Jews, and (2) that the disciples dur- ing and after the Last Supper thought el the passover feast proper as still to be provided for by some purchases to be made by Judas. The statements of Lho synoptists on tinis point refer saltier to i11e significance of the meal 111 retro- spect, while those of John cover the whole period of time from the Supper to the crucifixion in a cnrelul throw - logical survey with clear Indications of time all along. It has been suggested that the words of Jesus as quoted by 1-uke, "With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: for I say unto you, I shall not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the king- dom of God" (Luke 22. 11, 16), furnish us the key to the solution of the appar- ent' disagreement between tate 'state - mends of the senaptists and those of John, the regular passover being per- posely anticipated by one, day' by Jesus einee he knew (lint on 010 day follow- ing ho would suffer lite death on 111e cross. The Last Supper therefore ]!lust be thought of as having taken the place 1 the Paschal ureal for Jesus and his iseiples, It /must be borne in mind that (he es- te, sequence et events in this closing period of Christ's lite cannot be deter- mined with certainty in detail, and that the, exact state and lime of none of the semis Is known, For the sake of erectness of view, however, it is well to have at least a tentative scheme of ehronologicol sequence, The rnosi, pro- bable order of the chief events of the. passion Is the iulioWinu: TTnnsdny, Mean I3, after 13 p,m., The Last Sup - pe'. `Folowbsg the Supper and before midnight Chit. l's Farewell Discourses and Intercessory Prayer.

Verse 17. The first day of unleavened bread -This 'was T11m•sday, the 14111 of Nisan, which commenced after sunset on the 131h. The least of unleavened bread properly followed the pnssover end lasted seven days, from the 15111 to the 21st of Nisan. The two feasts were sometimes included in the tern) "pass - over," snmelinres in the term "un- leavened bread." This first day, Nisan 14th, was in reality a day of prepara- tion, and was often so called (Paras- keue). 13, To such a man -Apparently an aequeinfnnec and friend of Jesus and ilis•isdes whom Jesus doubtless spe- cified by mime, though for some reason the name is not given in any of the Gospel narratives. The Teacher salt, My time is at !nand; I keep the pnssover at Shy house -The manner of address and the famil- ia' form of the message makes iL al- most certain that the person so ad- dressed was a disciple of Jesus, though, possibly, Bice Nicadomus and others, a secret disciple. 20. Sitiing at meat-T.IL reclining at table. The. simple courses of the meal v,u ltd follow the regular ceremonial of the passover feast which was as fol- lows: (1) A cup of red wine mixed with water was partaken of (Comp. mention of a first cup, Luke 22, 17). After this all guests present washed Their hands. Id 13iiler herbs with m)leavened cakes and a sane° called clraroselh made of fruits and vinegar were eaten, the un- leavened bread and herbs being dipped into the dish holding the sauce. (3) A second cup of wince with a blessing, alter which the first part of the ballet (Psalms 113, 114) was chanted by the company, (6) The Paschal lomb was server!. We note that no mention of the Iamb is made in correction with the gospel reports of the Last Supper. It has been suggested that the simple bread which Jesus broke and gave to his disciples look the place of the Pas- chal Iamb and that it was at this point of the evening meal that Jesus insti- tuted what has since been known as the Lor'd's Supper. t5) A third orp of vv'ine followed the breaking of the bread. (0) A fourth elm of wine mixed with water was, like the three preceding, priced from guest to guest around (he circle, The second part of the ballet (I'sa. 115.118), concluded the ceremonial. 21.

'file sheets of the central tube are 300. inches long, 26 incites wide, and one- seventh of an inch thick. Upon the wire binding a jacket of steel has been shrunken in suet) a way that it is In - possible for the gun to burst, The complete gun is 313 Itches In length„ and weighs just over ten tons. This wird-gun is rho first of twenty- five ordered by the American Govern- ment for home defence. A LONG SHOT. The inventor declares that he could construct a 16 -inch gun of a similar kind which would be capable of huriing a monster projectile the record distance of ninety miles. Such a weapon In the possession of the French would allow them to shell London without leaving their own territory. The hatpin() dirrigible torpedo, the in- vention of Lieutenant Halpile, of the United Stales Navy, will probably play an important part in the next war. 'Phis sniff, which is attached to the torpedo by a cable, as lilted with a kind of controller board, which, by the turn - Ing of a crank, sets the torpedo's elec- tric mechanism in motion. The torpedo and the frail boat then put out to sea, and the man in charge brings them to a standstill about three miles from the ship which is to be attacked. Dropping an anchor out of his bunt, he mounts the, torpedo, 51111519 astride, and releases the cable. Restarting the machinery, the torpedo dashes forward at a terrific speed, and the ratan has to Hang on for very lite. LITTLE NEIIVE NEEDED. When well within the utile limit he guides the torpedo towards the ship, and then flings himself into the sea, re- lying solely upon a cork jacket to keep 11101 afloat and assist him to regain his skiff. The torpedo dashes on its mission, and when its "nose" run's into the steel netting of the ship -all ironclads are protected by netting in wartime --the propeller automatically reverses and the weapon retreats, leaving Its "nose" in the eel. As the torpedo reverses and the "nose" continues to !told fast, a leaden cap Is pulled off the former by a chain at- tached to the latter, and a cavity con- taining metallic potassium is disclosed. The action of its air and venter upon the contents of this cavity forces a pro- jectile through a tubo in the tinder -body of the torpedo. This projecteile is at- tnched to the clinging 'nose" also by a chain, and sinks below the sea at an angle of forty-five degrees. When it comes to the end of its tether, about one hundred feet down, It strikes upwards, and Is pretty certain to ex- plode under the hull of the battleship and sway from the netting, thus sending the vessel to her doom.
