THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON'
IN'TERNATIONAL LESSON,
SEPT. 8.
Lesson X.=The Mission of the
twelve Matt. 9, 35 to 10. 15. 10.
40 to 11. Golden. Text,
Matt. 10. 40.
9. 35-38.
Verse 35, Went about -Made a
cirenit of Galilee. - This was the
third preaching tour.
Gospel of the kingdom -Or, good
news concerning the fact that the.
Kingdom had come, and relating
to its constitution and the nature of
its benefits.
36. The multitudes -Which crowd-
ed anent, him for sympathy and in-
struction.
Distressed and scattered The
figure of a flock of sheep among
which wild`' beasts have gone,
wounding and devouring some and
scattering the rest. The reference
is to the common people, who had
become the victims of the scribes
and Pharisees.
As sheep not having a shepherd -
Mark introduces this statement just
previous to the feeding of the five
thousand (6, 34), A sharp denun-
ciation of the religions leaders of
the people is here involved,'' They
were blind leaders of the blind
(Matt. 15. 14)., Instead of giving
instruction which would help the
multitudes to find their way into
the Kingdom, they • raised obstruc-
tions which hindered them (Matt.
23. 13), and imposed burdens
"grievous to be borne" (Matt. 23.
4).
37. The harvest -The sonls to be
garnered into the Kingdom are lik-
ened to the precious grain. Ac-
cording to Lttke, these words were
also addressed to the seventy (10.
2).
38. Pray ye therefore the Lord of
the harvest --The advice was also a
challenge to, the twelve to become
volunteers,
10. 1-15.
1. His twelve disciples -They had
been chosen early during his sec-
ond preaching tour (Mark 3. 13-10;
Loire 6, 12-19). Matthew enumer-
ates them here for the first time.
Gave them authority -An incli-
dation of the continua] expanding
of the Kingdom.
2. Twelve apostles -The writer
changes the title here because of
the new commission. Previuus to
this time they had been called simp-
ly `disciples."
Simon, who is called Peter -
Peter, or Cephas, was his surname.
Ib was an Aramaic name, meaning
"the rock," which Jesus gave to
Simon the first time they met
(John 1. 42).
Andrew --Who brought Simon to
Jesus (John 1. 35-42) and the first
missionary of the Kingdom.
John -The "beloved disciple"
who, with Andrew, had been a dis-
ciple of John the Baptizer.
3. Philip -Like Simon and An-
drew, he was a native of Bethsaida
(John 1. 44),
Bartholomew -Probably the Na-
thanael of Cana of Galilee (John 1.
45; 21, 2).
Thomas -Called Didymus, the
twin (John 11. -16), who disbelieved
in the resurrection (John 20. 24,
25).
Matthew the publican --A collec-
tor of taxes in Capernaum. Publi-
cans were the "grafters" of that
day. He is. called "Levi" by Mark
(2. 14) and Luke (5. 27). Like Si-
mon and Saul; when he 'became a
disciple he received the new name
"Matthew," which means "The
gift of Jehovah." He is the writer
of the Gospel which bears his
name.
James the son of Alphaeus
Called James "the less"' (Mark 15.
40). He is not to be identified with
James the brother of Jesus.
Thaddaeus Meaning "the
hearty." He is also called Lela -
beetle, which means "the courage,
ous," Both are epithets. His real
name was Judas,, son of James (Luke
6. 16). See also John 14. 22,
4. Simon the Canauaean - "The
Zealot " (Luke 6. 14 ; Acts 1, 13).
So . called because of his member-
ship in a sect which had a revolu-
tionary attitude toward the Roman
government.
Judas Iscariot -Literally, a man
of Kerioth, a village of South Ju-
dah near Hebron Josh. 15. 25).
5. Wayof the Gentiles -An road
Y
leading to a Gentile district or
city.
6. Samaritans -Descendants of
Bahyloniaits who were brought in-
to. Palestine by . Sargon to replace
the Jews who were carried into cap-
tivity, (2 Kings 17 2488.).
7. Preach -Make a proclamation,,
as heralds.
8. Freely give -They were to gen-
erously exercise their gift of mir-
acle working. I
9. Purses-Or,girdles, irdles which were
provided with pockets. The apos-
bios were to provide nothing but
"the simplest equipment, relying, up-
on the reward of their labors
to
supply their simple needs,
10, Two coats -Shirts, or under
tunics
Shoes -They were to wear only
the' coarser sandals,' which were
less pretentious ,.and better adap-
ted to travel. (Luke 22. 35 ; Mark 6.
9).
11. Search out who in it is wor-
thy -Those who would receive the
message kindly and . consider the
apostles' visit as a favor.
12. Salute it --With the common
salutation, "Peace be unto you"
(3.3i411,1120. 21)y
14> :Shake off .the dust of your
feet -The dust: of heathen territory
was eonsiclerecl 't'iincloan" by the
Jew, who wiped it . from his feet:
:ra ,,a. 8.si help lend
(Acts 13. 51) The implication is
that,theee Jews whe would not re-
ceive the apostles were' no better
than heathen,
15. Sodoni and Gomorrah -Cities'
in the region of the Dead Sea de-
stroyed in the time of Alai -ahem
(Gen. 19. 14).
10, 40 to: 11. 1.
In the verses that intervene be-
tween this passage and the .preced-
ing (10. 16-39) Jesus instructs and
exhorts his disciples with reference
to their personal standing and be-
havior as his representatives in the
great task of evangelizing the
world. Then in verse 40 he takes
up again the thought of verses 11-
15 which refer to those to whom
their message of salvation is to be
proclaimed.
Him that sent me -The heavenly
Father.
41. He that receiveth a prophet
in a prophet'e name -He that wel-
comes and entertains an .apostle
because he is an apostle, that is,
for his work's sake,
42. These little ones -Even the
least among the righteous:
A SHABBY DUIRE.
Unlike the majority of the aris-
tocracy, the Duke of Norfolk pays
practically no regard td personal
appearance, and his general air of
shabbiness has lett to many curi-
ous mistakes. When he attended
Mr. Gladstone's funeral at West-
minster - Abbey he was mistaken
for a verger. On another occasion
he entered a small shop at Ports-
mouth, when the shopkeeper, who
had advertised for an assistant,
mistook him for an applicant for.
the job, and greeted him with the
Duke of Norfolk.
announcement: "Too late, my
man; the post is filled."
To crown all, he' was once taken.
for a beggar. The occasion was a
distribution of prizes at a big con-
vent, and ho was to be the central
figure. As the time for the cere-
mony drew near a shabby individu-
al was seen squeezing his way
through the crowd, when he was
stopped by a sister, who said: '`My
good man, we' don't distribute re-
lief here. You must go round to
the back door," "No; but you do
prizes," was the Duke's response.

ANTS AS REMEDIES,.
In Europe Preparations "Slade
From the Insects are 'sed.
Among the last of the remedies
provocative of nausea of the imagi-
nation to disappear from the lists:
of official remedies have been pre
;aerations made from ants. Such
preparations; however, have not
obtained much recognition in this
country, even among the wise old•
women in domestic practice -
though in parts of Europe they are
yet in use. Ant baths, madeby
boiling ants in water, are yet in
use by Bavarian peasants for rheu-
matism anti gout, and .also in: Hes-
een and Hungary.. Bohemia,, it is
said, for paralysis of the lower
limbs patients are placed in an ant-
hill and allowed to remain until the
while body is covered with the in-
sects, which are then shaken off,
when the cure is effected. In Bran-
denburg an aching tooth is rubbed
by means' of a crust of bread, and
the crust is then placed in an ant-
hill.
Impoverishment of blood is curecl
by'mean of n egg' buried in
s a b d the
ag
hill of the large red ants. The egg
must have been laid by a pure'
white or black hen, and must have
been found when ,still warm. In
Oberwalz the crushed eggs and lar-
vae of ants stirredup with cream
are used as a remedy for colic. A
salve made from wood ants, clog fat
and coal dust, is said to be used by.
Hungarian gypsies against ,goitre.
There is in use in Montenegro the
rant suture" in domestic surgery.
Those who had been bitten by ants
had noticed that the heads remain-
ed clinging to the skin when the
body was 'torn away, being held in
place by the powerful .mandibles.
The idea was thus suggested that,
the ants.' jaws eould be used. to
close the edges of wounds. The
edges of the cut are pressed togs-'
ther, an ant is held se that its jaws
will, grasp both sides and its body
ie cut off. Several' are applied
along the wound'and. serve instead
of the usual catgut stitches.

Beyond are Remaining Parts of Knowledge to be
Made Complete for Us In Years to Colne
For new we see through, a glass
darkly; but then face to face; now
I know in part; but then shall I
know even as also I am known.-
I. Cora xiii., 12.
We cannot see very far. We do
not know very much. The demo
mystery of the world veils our vis-
ion like a fog. The universe wears
an inscrutable face. 11 is not pos-
sible to predict the course of hu-
man hietory. We are forced to ac-
cept the (imitation of short vision
and partial knowledge.
One way to accept the limitation
is to chafe under it. There are
hien who can do nothing but rebel
when they cannot comprehend.
Partial knowledge exasperates
them. They have not learned that
the half 'loaf is better than no loaf
at all. Fretful children, impatient
with the revelations of God, they
pour out their souls in a long wail-
ing "Why?"
The other way is to make the most
of partial knowledge. This is the
way of faith. It recognizes the
measure of vision and knowledge
we 'possess to -day as the promise
of larger vision and knowledge.
NOW WE KNOW IN PART.
The young ,peasant, climbing for
the first time ottt of the secluded
valley where he was born, iteaches
a spot from which he can look off
at neighboring hills. From loftier
elevations his eyes rest On yet more
distant ranges. Finally from a sum-
mit his vision sweeps an unimagin-
ed expanse of hill and dale, moun-
tain, plateau, plain and valley and
catches glimpses of remotest
peaks. Henceforth he will always
view life in the valley as part of a
larger life extending beyond the
encircling hills. And he will become
a larger man for tho broader vis-
ion.
You ought to live in the present.
In religion as in every vital sphere
absorbing interest mush centre in
the things of to -day, .But year pre-
sentlife ought' not to be detached.
It will be full of dignity and of
more than transient value in the
degree .thatyell know it to be; com-
prehended in the eternal purpose
of God.
But :.now -a -days the temptation
for men is to become detached' by
narrow attention to the present,
They wither up because the petty
triumph and the puny :satisfaction
of the h'our cannot nourish the soul,
When, through faith in a life which
you now know in part only, yon
have realized at once the moinen,,
tary and the eternal eharacter of
your present, you will begirt to live
with calm sincerity and tranquil
earnestness.
CONSCIENCE WILL SPEAK.
Its judgment will be' affected by
your training and prejudice. But
you will know it as an echo . from
the Eternal in your soul Sorrow
will come: You will not perfectly
understand it. But you will take
it as part of that ministration of
toil and pain by which the Heav,-
enly Father redeems and disci•,p,-
lines and attests to the human soul
its i`mrnortal value to Himself,
Death will arrive. Hie summons
will not dismay you. For it will
release you from a life where ,you
have known in part faith with fear,.
love with shame, loyalty with per-
fidy, and usher you into a life
where you shall know faith and love
and loyalty without shade of de-
ficiency or shadow of defeat. Rev,
Dr. Henry M. Brown.
'THE WHIALE'S SONG.
With the Humpback the 'Tone Is
Much the Finest.
Whales are rarely, thought of as
vocalists, yet according to Miss A.
D. Cameron in "The New North,"
they really have a distinctive song
of their own,
A. certain Captain Kelly was the
first to notice that whales sing.
One Sunday, while officers from
three whaling -ships were "gam -
ming" over their afternoon walrus
meat, Kelly started up with "I hear
a bowhead (" There was much
chaffing about "Kelly's band," but
Kelly weighed anchor, and went to
find the band -wagon. Every sail
followed his, with the result that
three whales were bagged.
Among bowheads, this singsong is
a call that the leader of the school,
as he forces a passage through Be-
ring Sea, mattes in order to notify
those that follow that the straits
are clear of ice.
Walruses and seals and all true
mammals that have lungs and live
in the water ,have a bark that
sounds strange enough as it -comes
up from hidden depths. Every
lookout o f from the masthead notices
ca of ccs
that. when one whale is struck, the
whole school is "gallicd" er stam-
peded at the very im.paet of the
harpoon; they have heard the
death -song.
The sound that the bowhead makes
is like the long-drawn-out "hoo-
ho8-oo-0o-oo l" of the hoot -owl. A
whaler says that the cry begins on
F, and may rise to A, B or even C
before slipping back to F again. He
assures us that with the humpback
the tone• is much finer, and sounds
across the wat; r' like the note from
the F string of a violin

a person who is entirely unacquainted
with the general- terminology of finance
is by no 'moans an easy matter. The
easiest way to do 1't is ;o take him a
bond and show it to him,
Although this matter has been explain

Perhaps permissable, in view of the fact
that :there is 50 muolr uncertainty on the
question to refer to it again.
Now, talo a largo company lilce the
Massey -Harris Company, which, by the
way, has issued' no bondsa. go we musq
it as an example. Suppose they should
want to buy some mora land to extend
8hoil• factories (as they did a year ago)
and it so happened that it was not pos-
sible to raise the necessary money front
their .shareholders. The amount requlr

conceivably they could go to oneman
and borrow the money from him on a
mortgage. That is quite possible, but al,
together improbable, for no one man
would be likely to .care to put so great
a sum into one security. Toget around
this dillicuity here's what they de.
They go to a big bond house and toll
them' the circumdtances and offer them
the mortgage, which they buy. Their
plant, egnipmeut, lands, and all other as-
sets aro mortgaged to a trustee, usually
, trust company, The trust company, 111•
stead of turning over to the bond house
this mortgage, turns over to it 2,000 Beall
moi'tgoges, each ono representing one
two -thousandth of the $2,000,000 mortgage
of a par value of. 51,000 each. ' Every one
of these would bear on its foes an ab.
broviated form of the big mortgage and
each would be signed by the president
and the secretary of the Maegey-Harris
Company, Each would also be endorsed
by an officer of the Trust Company to
show that it was properly issued. In
other words, the bond is merely, a. sub.
divided mortgage, oa0)1 ,bond ranking
equally with, every .other. bond .and equ-
ally secure. In this way - the bond house
which buys the mortgage, in0tea11 of hay -
lug to palace the whole mortgage with
one mao, may sell it to 2,000 investors,
giving eacha thousand dollar bond.
But this is not all. Suppose this issue.
we are speaking of has fifteen years to
run. The interest, as is usual with, in-
dustrial bonds of thin nature, will be ,at
the rate of six per cent, per aenhnl, pay-
able half yearly, when the bend is print-
ed it has in addition to the abbreviated
