Exhoetaitiee. to. CourageOua • Sin- centa. this lesson' as cmsely., con-, meted with theone of lest bitocia,y. Jesus had .been.levited to'dino at the .henie of a Pharasee and had brooght upon himself the , &sap-, proval of his host for nob first Os serving theceremonial washieg. This led to Testi& severe condemn- ation of the Pharisees.for their ex- actness in trifling mattereopeerved by men, in contrast to their neglecb. of the weightier Matters of justme, mercy, and sincerity. Doubtless the earnest note in his speech had attracted the attention of 'those outside the houee, and they were crowding about thedoorway to hear. Perhaps Je.sus felt that the listening multitudes were unfriend- ly toward him. AS he turns'. from them and a;ddre,esels the words of our lesson to his disciples, urging them to have no fear for the per- secutions of men knosving that fear often canses hypocrisy, he urges them to be ready always to give courageous teitimony to the truth, assuring thein of the heavenly Ira; therte protection and of the aid of the Holy Spirit if they are brought to trial for their faith.. Verse 1. In the mean time— While Jesus„had been speaking (see preceding lesson). - The many thousainds—A hyper- bolical expres,sion for a great mul- titaide. a s He began to say unto his disciples first of all—Jesus began to addrees she disciples and then, perhaps, mimed to the people. His words yere, however, primarily to the disciples. Beware ye of—A warning phrase peculiar to Luke, meaning, "Tale heed and avoid." Leaven—In Scripture leaven ' is generally used as a type of evil Which spreads and puffs un and sours in its influences. The parable of the leaven (Luke 13. 20, 21; Matt. 13. 33) is, however an exception to this general me.aning. 2, 3. Hypocrisy is not on/y wick- ed, it it uselees, for the true char- acter cannot always remain eon- cealed. Sooner or later the facts will become known. So Jesus urges his disciules to speak and act hon- estly and openly, and to have no fear for the consequences. Inner chambers—In the East, outer -walls are easily clug through. Things which a man Wished to guard carefully were placed in ineide rooms. Proclaimed upon the housetops— In the East, proclarnatiens are still made from the flat roofs of the houses. 4, Be not afraid of them that kill the body—Jesus may have felt that in the persecutions which were sure to arise the disciples would be tempted to deceive. 5. Fe-ar him, who after he hath killed halal power to east 'into hell —This passage, like the parable of the tilapaSt steward. is given two distinctly different interpretations. Some think "He who hath power to cast into hell" refers to God, others think the. reference is to Satan. Some reasons in 'favor of the for- mer interpretation are : (1), In the Greek construction of the word means "fear without trying to shun," which ie the word usually isse,c1 when referring to fearing God; (2) in Scripture we are net else- where told to fear -Satan, but to re- sist him; (3) the Evil One may en- deavor to entice Us into Gehenna, but he has no authority to send us there. However, the idea of God here exprees•ed is more like Old Testament teaching than the teach- ing of Jesus about the Father. Hell—Gehenna„ derived from Gi- Hinnom, meaning "the valley of Hinnom" near Jerusalem, where sa,erifloes to the heathen reed Mo- loch were made, and' where later the refuse from th-e city was con- sumed in a fire kept continually burning. Hence it became a symbo- lical name for the place of punish- ment in the other world. 6, Five sparrowssold for two pence --They are alniosh of no value at all, but not one of them is for- gotten in the sight of God. 7, Fear not—Cease to fear.

Matthew and Mark record the words of Jesus, regarding the un- pardonable sin as ,spoken in connet- Mon with the charge that he cast out evil spirits by the aid of the Prince of evil. The Pharisees were denouncing as evil that which they knew to be good, for the moral power of Jesue had been manifest- ed. The deliberate rejection of the good, the persistent calling of good evil, showed a state of darkneas lean which the divine light cOuld not penetrate. Sins which are due to impulse, passion, or erring judg- ment are very different from the ar- rogant designation of good as evil. No penitent has ever been guilty of this unpardonable sin, and any man who will earnestly call upon God for pardon may be /ensured that there is forgiveness for him. •Blasphemeth—Showing persistent irreverence and disrespect. 11, Synagogues -- Jewish local courts were held in the synagogues, ever which elders. who were re- snonsible for discipline, presided.

It often happens that the reputa- tion of a successful general and his men has a great effect in winning other battles. Such was the ease with Baron Nogi and the third Ja- panese army, which he commanded. This daring and relentless officer led the famous flanking movement on the Russian right at Mukden. Says Mr. Stanley Washburn in "Nogi" : To the private.s of the Siberian steppes and the peanante dratted from the valleys of the Volga and the fax -off Neva, this man Nogi was the inearnation of fury, the demon of war. His men were /Metered by camp fires at night as devils of blood ond for, who would stop at nothing, who eagerly .sought death in their efforts to reach a band -to - hand encounter with their foes. Again and again the 'atory of 203 Meter Hill, where 'the Japanese sactificed 15,000 men in order to gain an obeeryation station, was told in the Ruesian ranks. The sol- diers told one, nother also how .the Japanese infantry, in one aseault, exhansted and with ammunition spent, refused .te retreat, and re- mained and threw atones at their enesaies until the last mon wrbs kill- ed. The great dread in every divi- sion of the RilaSiall twiny Wita that Nogi himself iyouid be thrown against them. • When at last the altaek came, there 'could be no doubt of where and how Nogi was etriking.

Sonic Valaable Hints on How to Use a Razor. Safety razors have been but a, mixed blessing; they have made men forget how to ehave, Apart from that, even a 'safety razor can only be need in ono way if the best results are to be obtained. Which ever kind of razor you use you should be careful always tio'. shaye with the run of tho beard. Never shave against the gram; it is bad tor the skin, the beard, and the razes'. A safety razor shonld he pressed fiat, against the face, and the action of a neythe should be imitated. That is to say, instead of running the razor straight down the face, use a aemi-circular motion. Perhaps the moat important part of a shave is the lathering. The mere the beard is lathered . tho softer it will beeorne; it is false economy te scamp this part e the performance in order to save time or trouble. An ordinary 110.24er SlanUM always be stropped before and after use, and the soap should be thoroughly taken off it by het water. A razor is all the better foe a rest ocea- sionally. Learn how to use a strop proper- ly. The razor-eteop should hang from a point not higher than the waisteliee. Shaving, and the care of1 razor, is 10 smence; and the man who can keep his razor in goerl condition is a man to be on - vied, especially in the winter. ETTURRIZli.NG PLANTS.
