When Mary was come, Her Sister Martha had gone forth to meet Jesus, leaving btary sitting in the house, verse 20, absorbed( in her grief. After a brief converaatlon with Jesus verses 21-37, without careful study of whioh the rest oe the story cannot be understood, Martha returned toi the house, and, culling Mary secretly, said, "lhe Master is coma, and ealleth for thee" verse 28.

When Jesus therefore saw ber weeping. "Passionately lamenting." But in verse 35, whore we are told that Jesus wept, silent tears are in- dicated. He groaned in the spirit. Dr. Marvin R. Vincent calls attention to the word here translated "groaned." it occurs throe times elsewhere, Matt. 9, 30; Mark 1. 43; and 14.5; and "in every case it expresses remonstrance and dis- pleasure. It is not plain whether our Lord's indignation was at the hypo- crisy of the Jews, or at their unbetief, or at the sisters' misapprehension, or al the temporary triumph of Satan, who had power over death." Perhaps there is a measure of truth in each of these explanations. Watt troubled. "Troubled himself;" showed his deep emotion to the bystanders. 35. Jesus wept, Silently shed tears. See note on versa 33. When our Lord lamented over the fall' of Jerusalem, its he descended the Mount of Olives, we are told that he wept aloud. 30. Said the Jews. •Some of them," as we shall see from the next verse. The oi(que which is forming to bring about the destruction of Jesus is henceforth referred to as "the Jews," This use of the phrase "the Jews" strikes cue oddly, as if in a story of Terumo ur Montreal, a set of the heroes uud heroines were called "the Cauudieus," The explanation is two- fold: 1. John was a Galilean, and wind hardly help making running comment 011 the disferenoe uetween uur Lord's reception in "Jewry" and among the Gadiloan hills, 2.

"See how he used to love him." Or, as Lr. Watkins phrases it, "How he must have loved hitt in his life, when he thus sorrows for his death." 37. But some of them were not as °heritable as the speakers of verse 36. They foresee that this mirttule will greatly add to the power of Jesus with the people ; and if, as has been sug- gusted, this saying of the Jews was uttered in hate and irunioally, it throws light on the " groaning " of verses 33. and 35. 38. Therefore oonueets this new man- ifestation of indignation with what the Jews had jest said Again groan- ing in himself, See note on verse 33. Cometh to the grave.

He who - could call the dead to life might web himself have rolled away the atone, That he depended on human help sug- gests God's method in the salvation of the world. It helped the helpers to increased faith, and, as lir, Gobin has beautifully said, it brought noble testimony to the reality and manner of this miracle; for in later yearn, doubtless certain Christians of Beth- any were able to say, "1 helped to roll the stone away from the door of that tomb." It is always a Christian duty and privilege to remove hind+ rancos from before the Saviour, .By this time, oto. elariha'e faith 15 the Lord was not strong enough to expect an immediate resurrection, and her sisterly feeling shrank from anything that would make her beloved brother repulsive to the senses of others, The Jews wrapped the remains of their loved ones in perfumea, but they did not embalm after tbe manner of the Egyptians. - He hath been dead four days. Our Lord did not start on- his journey to Bethany at once after hearing of Lazarus's illness, and tete clays would be required for his jour- ney, 40. Said I not unto thee.

See verse 4, where our Lord saye, 'This aitknees is not unto death, that: 15, although Lazarus may die he shell be raised to life again, but for the glory of God, that the Son ot God might be glorified thereby" - weeds that streak of the glory of the Father and the Son as the same. il.

A despatoh from London says: - The fi.wse of Commons has been ocoupying itself with the death of an obecure pri- vate named Lorrimor, with the result that the system of punishment in the .English army is likely to be entirely changed. Lorrimor inourred the dis- pleasure of his commanding officer by his slovenliness, and was punished ac- cordingly, though without undue sev- erity. He was further charged in the report of a civilian doctor with sham- ming illness, and in consequence was put to a barbarous torture, the most frequent: punishment in the British drill." known euphemistically as "shot The next day Lorrimer answered to the change of malingering by fall- ing dead over his plank bed. "SIlO'1'-DRILL" TO BE ABOLISHED. With regard to the particular case, the blots show that, according to the regulations, no one was to blame ex- cept the civilian doctor, but in the course of debate George Wyndham, elle new Under-Secretary for War, drew a firm distinction between breaches of army regulations and acts of moral Lurpaude, hinting that that distinction in future should indicate differences in degree of punihment to be awarded, while he allowed it to be understood that as aeon as possible "shot drill" would be abolished entirely. So Pri- vate Lorrimor has not died in vain, A FLYING AIRSHIP. ltttmculty in Cabling the Apparatus W11 bo the Chief Obstacle to Its Perfection. A despatch from London says :-A praotieable flying machine has been invented by a Dr, Barton, of Becken- ham, near London. Newspaper men were present Thurs- day at the first exhibition of Barton's airship, The experiment was also wit- nessed by Col. Yorke, representing the military ballooning department. The Woolwich experimental machine is only a huge toy twenty-one tee. loug, dependent on a oomplioated bam- boo arrangement rigged up fore and aft with earophones, a sail. in front and rudder in Lha rear. Above is an elon- gated balloon. The ship starts on wheels, and wham afloat is driven by elookwurk. After soma trouble the shiprose rn the stir and wade two trips of about a quarter of a mile each. Its mo- tions were somewhat erratic, but the inventor said: This is not a fair example of its oapabilities. The strong, gusty wind prevailing subjeots it to a severe test. I contemplate a machine from 165 feet to 200 feet in length, the boat to be driven by a petroleum motor. De war ,time my aerial ship could sail calmly over the enemy, dropping death rn the form of shells, while the look -out men could make valuable observations. The same wale be done at sea, the ma- chine onus launehed from a cliff being 'apable of cruising for forty-ergbt hours, without a stop."

A despatch from London, says: -At u meeting hold in this oily on Thurs- day in support of the peace oon- ferencw, Baron Russell of Killowen, Lord Chief Justioe of England de- livered a aheeoh, in the course of which he said that the only hopeful signs of a desire to substitute arbitra- tion for war ware at present to be found in this country. He added that he looked for success In the direction of the Czar's suggestion that in quar- rels between nations the system adopt- ed in duets should be followed -that is that.eaoh party to a thapute, before going to war, should hale to appoint a second. Thus, time would be given for reflection, and the intervention of two independent friendly powers would tend to prevent an outbreak of hostilities. Baron Russell was aarefnl to make no allusion to America, but it was wet- dont that the deelre of the meeting wns that the 'United -States should be Great Britain's second should ever the Weaseen arise.

Odense has folly established the tact that all the nervous energy of our bodies is generated by nerve centres located near the base of the brain. 't7hon the supply of nerve force bas been diminished either by excessive physical or mental labours, or owing to a derangement of the nerve oentrea, we are first conscious of a languor or tired sad worn.out feeling, then of a mild Form of nervousness, headache, or stomach trouble, which is perhaps suc- ceeded by nervous prostration, ohronic '»digestion, and dyspepsia, and a gen- eral sinking of the whole system. In this day of hurry, fret and worry, there are very few who enjoy perfect health ; nearly everyone has some trouble, an ache, or pain, a weakness, a nerve trouble, something wrong with the atomaoh and bowels, poor blood, heart disease, or sick headache; all of which are brought on by a lack of nervous energy to enable the diflerentorgansof the body to perform their respective work. South American Nervine Tonic, the marvellous nerve food and health giver, is asatisfyingsuoesss, awondrous boon to tired, deft, and overworked men and women, who have suffered years of discouragement and tried all manner of remedies without benefit. It is a modern, a scientific remedy, and in its -fake fellows ;abounding health. It is unlike all other remedies in that it is not designed to not on the different organs affected, but by its direct action on the nerve ()entree, which are nature's little batteries, it 'louses an increased supply of nery sus anergy to be generated, which in its Sold by torn thoroughly oils, as It were, the machinery of the body, thereby en. tabling it to perform perfectly its dit ferent functions, and without the slightest friction. If you have been reading of the re- markable cures wrought by South American Nervine, accounts of which we publish from week to week, and are still sceptical, we ask you to in- vestigate them by correspondence, and become convinced that they are true to the letter. Such a course may save you months, perhaps years, of suffer- ing and anxiety.
