It Is An Eye of Sympathy, of Tender
Kindness, of Loving Wisdom.
"Thou God eeest me." -Gen. xvi., 13.
There are few who cannot call Lo mind
many times in childhood when this text
was quoted to them in awe-inspiring
tones. IL may be you remember these
words printed or worked 10 worsted
hanging in your room at home. The in-
terpretation supplied by parent or
leacher served, for a time, as en effec-
tive, Invisible. and omnipresent police
force. The Almighty became an °Meer
to he feared.
Once nervous natures could hardly
find a moment of quiet comfort so tilled
were they with vague alarms at the
thought of the eye unceasingly seorch-
Mg their secret being, To tell such a
childthat death would thrust him into
the full pretence of the one whose eye
tbus unremittingly watched• him had at
least the wholesome effect of making him
determined to live as long as possible.
The inottoes have gone and the child
hears less of the sepreme spy, though
there remain parents so morally twisted
or so mentally indolent as to attempt. to
coerce their children Into goodness by
cowardice, by dread of their God. But
the type of mind whose religion con-
seds either In the fear of that all -seeing
eye or In dodging its inspection, Is by
no means extinct.
Gone is the God who with jealous eye
watched the Jain in the pantry or the
• apples in the cellar, who seemed delight-
ed to record against us the petty
MISDEEDS OF CHILDHOOD.
Yet there remains to perhaps nearly all
an impression that the Almighty over-
sight Is principally exercised in detec-
ting our wrong doing and our short-
comings.
One of the most singular things in the
history of religion is Inc assiduity with
which men have twisted its simple
truths into elaborate errors and the de-
votion with which they have been pre-
pared to defend with the last drop of
their blood the errors which worked
&Age to their whole lives and to de-
nounce as traitors any who assumed to
recall to men the simple beauty of the
truth which they had buried with their
traditions.
Here, says this old world story, was a
woman, cast out, Illy treated, alone in
tile desert. Man hed betrayed her and
God seemed to have forgotten her. Well
might, she despair. Then, when thines
•,.
seemed darkest about her,lii the so
night, came the vieinn from above, the
messenger of the Eternal, with it picture
of •the goodly future awaiting her child.
When all eeemed wrong there eanie this
reminder of the power working for the
right.
With heart refreshed the woman
Mimed back. naming the place by a
word meaning "Thou Clod seest me."
Think you that place to her was to be
dreaded because of the all -seeing eye?
Whet a triumph of joy and peece WaS
in her tones, as she erted, "After all, I
know that Jehovah does not forget us
at any time; his eye is upon me for
good."
Long ego. In simplicity of heart, men
thought of one who was ever near,
coming and dwelling among 111010 as a
friend,
ENTE1IING THE TENT 00011,
sitting at the evening meal, knowing all
1110 cares, fears, needs, joys, hopes, and
desires that were theirs. Of the best of
them it was said that they walked with
God, so clear, was their sense of the im-
minence of the Father of spirits.
As Hagar cried aloud with joy at the
thought of one who could always see
her, so did they; 11 was the strength and
consolation of their lives that neither
enemies nor adversities, nor even their
own follies and wandering could hide
them from him, that desert places and
lands remote were not far from 11110.
It is the eye of a friend that looks
down, an eye of sympathy, of tender
kindness, of loving wisdom; behind it
the all-pervading, controlling might that
binds the universe into a unit and
brings all its motions under the sway of
law. Every source of infinitude is for
our ald; the Oinnipotent is man's ally.
This is the faith that maRes men
strong, that sends them forth to endure,
to persist in the right. to tight the
wrong; this ninkes heroes in the silence
as well as ia the blare of publicity, the
knowledge that, we are ever in the light
of infinite love and might, that the eter-
nal goodness anOWS, deeply feels with
us. HENRY. F. COPE.

Text: Luke 23. 4.
THE LESSON WORD STUDIES.
Note. -The text of the Revised Version

Studies.
Pilate's Title and Office. -The fact that
our go.spel narratives uniformly speak
of Pontius Pilate as governor makes it
proper for us to inquire what was the
real position which he oceupied under
'the Roman goverinnent, and what his
power and authority. In the times of
the Roman Republic the highest two
magistrates of the capital city itself were
palled consuls. These consuls were
elected for one year only, but while In
onlee they exercised a power and au
authority almost equal to that of the
kings whom they had supplanted.
Under the later empire, however, the
office of consul, while still maintained,
became of much less importance, dwind-
ling to the mere presidency of the
senate, of public games, eto. At the time
of Christ the larger provinces of the
Boman Empire were governed by Dill-
cers called proconsuls, who exercised
the• authority of consuls in their respec-
tive provinces. They were ulso called
proprietors, or governors. Subordinate
to these proconsuls, or provincial
governors, again, were the procurators,
who had charge of tim imperiel revenue,
and administered justice in epees relat,
Ing thereto. In the entailer provinces,
which were, so to speak, appendages of
the greater proconsular provinces, the
procurators also sometimes discharged
the functions of the governor or the pro-
consul of the province. Judea was one
of the entailer provinces which together
constituted the proconsular province of
Syriti. Pontius Pilate held the position
of procerator of Judea and was subject
le the governor or proconsul of the
larger province of Syria. Perhaps the
reason for the fact that he is uniformly
celled governor in our English 13ible, is
that the Greek word so translated, like
its English equivalent, is used in a
broader sense, lo tlesIgnaM any pereon

feWer preesigatives were allowed in the

was absolutely forbidden it. This fact
made it necessary for the Jews to bring
some formal charge against Jesus before
the Roman procurator in order to obtain
from him the sentence of death which
they destred.
Verse 13. Pilate called together the
chief priests and the rulers tunb the
people - Pilate's official residence was
the palace of Herod at Ctresorea and only
at the time of the great Jewish feasts
docs he seem to have raided in Jerusa-
lem, oecupying during Ids stay in each
cuse epartments in the palace of Herod
in Met city.
14. And said unto them -His address
It the people end the menibers of the
Sanhedrin was a formal one delivered
from his customary seat of judgment.
The peblic examination of the prisoner
which Pilate had just held had convinced
the procurator of the Innocence of 11101
whom the Jews had so vehemently ac-
cused. This fact he does not hesitate to
stale as he feces the company of Jesus
accusers with the words, "Behold I,
having examined him before you, round
no fault in this man touching the things
whereof ye accuse him."
15. Nor yet Herod -Herod Antipas,
called in the New Testament also Herod
the tetrarch, the eame who had put
John the Baptist, to death. Ile was the
son of Herod the Great. The examine -
lion of .103liS by Herod referred: to in
this verse was presumably only an in-
formal one and one ovhich constituted
no part of the regular triel. It Is re-
ferred to again in Acts 4. 27. A cereful
reading of Luke's entire gospel indicates
that he apparently posseesed special in-
formation concerning the dynasty of
Herod, and the facts which he records
concerning that dynasty are epparently
most accurate.
le. I will therefore chastise him -A
most cruel and gratuitous punishment
which he proposes to inflict by way of
conciliating the men who were accusing
the prisoner. This offer of Pilate throws
much light upon the disgraceful Illegal-
ity end horrible brutality which Boman
officers were often guilty of.
We note lied the American Standard
Version of the Bible omits verse 17 of
this chapter. 'rho fact. that It 10 printed
in parentheses in the Autherized or
King Runes Version indicates that it is
11 clause thrown in by way of explana-
tion. The same explanatory Met which
is stilted In this verse is found, how-
ever, In two other pneeages; "New
