By itselt the petition "hallowed be they name" means little to us. Why should Mortals pray Ibat the name of the M - mighty should be reverenced? Great as may be the sin of blasphemy, surely there ora Many others against which we need to pray before this, many that work greater harm to him who prays and to lite whole of society. Indeed, does not the act of prayer suggest that the petitioner already holds in reverence the name of him whom he addresses? But couple tho two parts of the sen- tence together, "Our Father, let thy name be hallowed;' and what a new significance appears. It is not the soli- tary dignity nor the exclusive office even of. the Most High that we would revere, but a new relationship to be reverenced, a family dignity to be maintained. It is the son's cry: "Make tne worthy of my - Father's name.' The Most High is best worshipped by whatever gives greater worth to the name which the great leacher then gave him and the relationships for which it stands. The way to reverence him is to live as true brother to man, his child, to he yourself his true and worthy child. Work for stat is thus often true wor- ship of God. The great prayer opens with a petition that embraces in its sweep both the divine and the human - THE WHOLE UNIVERSE OF BEING. Not by carving ancient names which have long stood for conceptions of the Deity, gilding them, or adorning their letters; not by putting these names over our altars, In our halls of devotion, or wearing them on our brows, shall we honor the Infinite Father of spirits. Only an unworthy son would be antis - fled with thus seeking to give glory to his father's name. It Is an indolent way of worship that does no more than bow before names and phrases. If we are his children we shall care more for the family honor, for the fam- ily name, than for any other forth of reverence; we shall honor the head of the house by lifting up its lowliest mem- ber. Whatever degrades humanity dis- honors the divine. You cannot separate your athlete to God from your attitude to manidnd, to ever man, woman and child.

HENRY F. COPE. THE S. S. LESSON INTERNATIONAL LESSON, NOV. 11. Lesson \'I. Jesus in Gethsemane. Golden Text: Luke 22.42. • THE LESSON WORD STUDIES. Note, -The text of the Revised Ver- sion is used as a basis fur these Word Studies. Intervening Events. -It is Luke nem records the fact Thai even during the solemn hour of the Last Supper there had arisen among the, disciples a cow - tention concerning which of them was to bo accounted the greatest (Luke 22. 21-30). The answer of Jesus was given in e. wonderful example of humility and service when, girding hitnselt with a towel, lie washed the disciples' feet. John, the only one of the evangelists who was an eye witness of the events connected with the Last Supper and the subsequent passion of our Lord, has re- corded for its in his fuller narrative some of the longer farewell discourses of Jesus delivered after the Supper be- fore leaving tine upper chamber and on the way to Gethsemane. The synoptic Gospels have no parallel account of these discourses tate substance of which consists of words of comfort and en- couragement to the disciples, who were so soon to bear the responsibility of spreading among men the gospel mes- sage. These discourses contain some of the most beautiful and valuable record- ed utterances of our Lore. Somewhere rifler leaving the tipper chamber and be- fore crossing the brook Kldrot beyond the city walls Jesus Jesus offered the fervent prayer recorded in John 17. Referring to the words of the prayer just. spoken the fourth evangelist con- tinues (John 1R. :l), "When Jesus had spoken those words he !vent forth with his disciples over the brook Wren, where was a garden, into whirls he entered, himself and his disciples." The verses intervening between our last les- son end this one in Matthew's account record the bold avowal of Peter ihet he would not forsake Jesus even though all Others wnttld flee. Following the answer of Jesus, In which he points out. to Peter bis own !weakness and the denial that weakness will result in, the words of our lesson text continuo the narrative. 38. A place -Gr.

The following extraordinary story of en heiress held es a slavey in New Zealand, lost track of for years, end finally rescued by Iter uncle, who brought her to the Pacific Const, comes from San Francisco. An unfortunate orphan in a foreign land since seven years old, reads the report, enslaved for almost it decade by en aged couple 1n Ne' Zealand, who worked her al mental service and refused her a decent education, lost track of for years by ler American relatives, little Miss Violet Gilbert, whose summers iruntber no stor0 then seventeen, is now Nan - cisco on Iter way to Portlandin,San Oregorn, to come into a fortune of 3100,000. Accompanied by her uncle, air. J. 13, Davidson, a business man of Portland, she arrived at Vancouver, B,C., the outer day on the steamer Sonoma from Auck- land, N.Z. Two months ago she was a drudge In a poverty-stricken home; to- day life seems a fairy decant to her by reason of alto sudden change for the better. The finding of the girl in New Zealand is a story of remarkable fea- tures. Her father, John Gilbert, was a daring young sea captain, who imme- diately after his marriage in Oregon went to Australia, and then to New Zealand. There violet was born. Most of her mother's relatives have long lived In Oregon, and an aunt resides in Woodland, Cal. After his wife's death Gilbert seldom communicated with his relatives in America, When Violet was seven he died, leaving her penniless. Nobody in New Zealand know where her American relatives lived, so the girl tell into the hands of an aged couple, who treated her as a slavey. Less than two years ago Mrs. Davidson of Port- land learned that her brother-in-law, Gilbert, had died in New Zealand, and she at once took steps to find if ire lett any family. After a good deal of corres- pondence, sho located the girl Mean- while another aunt heed died and left a large sum of money to the girl. Mr. and Mrs. Davidson thereupon deter- mined to bring their orphaned niece from New Zealand to Ilse United States. .from girl who was thus suddenly taken away front a home of poverty to become tiro -owner of riches, was brought over an the Pacific mail steamer Sonoma. She made many friends among the pas- sengers, and everybody rejoiced in her good fortune. 4 ACTRESS SWOT DEAD. Jealous Lover Kilted Himself After Deed Was Committed.
