The Question was ever e same; but the answer varied. In way, the Question forthed a tribute o the advance of democracy. It used strangers to exchange opinions nd pleasantries in 'croWeee trains and mnibuses. It placed peers and come oners on an equality. During some art of the day it completely eclipsed 1 other topics of conversation. ..- e'Thise, young Lord Medenham. made o pretense of shirking it while he tood on the steps of his father's sion in Cavendish Square and retched his chauffeur stowing a lun- eon basket beneath the front seat • 1 the Mercury 38.

It stop- ped in Curzon Street, opposite ashouse, gaY with fiosvers in window -boxes. The Viscount loolted at his watch. ' "How far to Epsom?" he asked over' Dale's shoulder. "About sixteen miles by the direct road, my eore, but it will be best to go round by Kingston and avoid the. worst of the traffic. We ought to. allow an hour for the run." "An. hour!" "We are not in France now, my lord. The police here would have spasms if they saw the car extended." Lord Medenham sighed. "We must reason with them,", he said. "But not to -clay. Lady St. Maur declares she is nervous. Of course, ste doesn't know our Mercury. After to -day's _experience it will be quite another matter when I take her to Brighton for lunch on Sunday." Dile said nothing. He had met his employer at Marseilles in October, when Lord Medertham landed from). Africa; during the preceding twelve. months his license had been indorsed three times for -exceeding the speed limit on the Brighton 'Road, and he had paid $40 in fines and costs to; Various petty sessional courts- in Sur- rey and Sussex, Sunday, therefore, pronalsed developments. Medenham seemed to think that his aunt, Lady St. Maur, would be wait-, nig him on the doorstep. As no ma-,' tronly figure materialized In that lee he.alighted, and obeyed a brasse lettered injunction to "knock and ring." s, Then he disappeared inside - the house, and remained there so long that Dale's respect for the law begaxd to weaken. The chauffeur had bee* given a racing certainty for the first( race; the hour was nearing twelve, and every road leading to Besoral Dolma would- surely be congested. 1, His lordship; came out, alone, and it was clear that the unexpeoted had happened. ; ' "Nice thhigi" he said, with thei closest semblance to a growl tlsat his good-natured drawl was capable ofI "The whole show is busted, Dale!

Who's going to eat pale foresaw no difficulties in that respect but Ise did realize at . once' that his master cared little about rac- ing, and, so far as Epsora was cone corned, would abandon the day's ex-, ()melon without a pang. He grew des- perate. But, being something of a stoic, he kept his feelings in. checks and played a card that could hardly fail. "You wiU find plenty of youngsters, on the hill who will be glad of them; ray lord," said he. "You don't tell me sae Kiddies at tlee,Derby! Well, why not? It shows; what a stranger I am in my, own land; that I could never have seen the: blessed race. Right ahead then, Pelee we must back the King's horse and; arrange a school treat.

Starting on the sevitch, the care sprang off tower& Piccadilly. Dale! sighed in his relief.

Text of the Lesson, Mark li, 23 to •'6 -Memory Verses, ,27, 28 -Golden Text, Mark 11, 27 -Commentary Pre- ppred by Rev. D. 111, Stearns. The record of today's lesson, two Sabbath day ilaciclente, the disciple 'plucking corn and a withered hand restored in tbe synagogee, is found in Matt, xli and Luke vi, as well as in Mark, so that it must 'concern Him not only as the Jewish King rejected, but also as the perfect servant, and as tee Son of Man, to whom all things wit' yet be subdued. To understand Him and His words and works we must consider Him as Nathaniel spoke Of Him, "the Son of God, the King of Israel" (John 1, 49), as 'time King of the Jews" whom the wise men sought (Matt. 11, 2), and as the "Wonderful, Counselor, tbe Mighty God,, the Ever- lasting iather, the Prince of Peace, who will yet (tit upon the throne a David and whose kingdom shall know no end" Use. ix, 6, 7; Luke 1,32, 38). The late Dr. Weston in Ms "Genesis of the New Testament" says that the Jewish Sabbath was the one peculiar and distinctive ordinance of tee me tion. Other nations practiced circum- cision and Oriel temples, offered sacri- fices and performed religious rites, but the Sabbath was the Jewish national flag, In It they claimed a peculiar rela- tion to God as their Creator, Redeemer alid Rest, and, if by this man's treat- ment of their Sabbatie they are to bo deprived of their distinction from other nations, what is the use of being God's people? Considering this, it is not so surprising that tbe immediate occa- sion of the determination by the Jew- ish rulers to put .Christ to death, as stated in all the gospels, was His rela- tion to the Sabbath. He claimed to be greater than Solomon or the temple or the Sabbath (Matt. xii, 8, 8, 42), but tbey would not so receive Him. They honored Him with their) lips, but their heart was far from Biro (lsa. xxlx, 13; Ezek. xxxiii, 31; Matt. xv, 7, 8). They had a form of worship without any power. Jehovah, whom they professed to worship, was in their midst,' and they knew Him not. Matthew says that as the disciples passed through the cornfields they were hungry, and Luke says that they rubbed tbe ears of corn in their hands and did eat. Our Lord Himself was an hungered on other occasion; as re-, corded in Matt. iv, 2; xxl, 18. Concern- ing Israel it is written that Be suffered them to hunger (Deut. viii, 8), but it was to prove them and teach them. The wicked are ever watching the righteous and seeking to slay them (Ps. xxxvie 32), and here thil are finding fault and condemning the dis- ciples, and the Lord, too, because they knew Him not, nor the Scrip- tures, which they professed to rever- ence. He referred 'them to their own Seriptures, Baying. "Have .ye never read what David did when he had deed and was an hungered? (Verse ee.) There is no word of condemnation here for David and his followers. He came not to condemn, but to show mercy, hence His quotation frne the prophets ineelatthew's record, "1 will have mercy and not sacrifice" (Matt. xii, 7; Hos. VI, 0). The rest of the verse in Hosea says that the knowl- edge of God is better than burnt offer- ing. The -primary idea in sacrifice is that God gives -to us, not that we gees) to Him, for in the .first sacrifice the Lord gave to Adam and Eve redemp- tion Clothing vshich He Himself pro- vided, a foreshadowing of Christ lov- ing the ehurch and giving Himseit for it, purchasing it with His own blood. We cannotsgive anything to God nor oefer Him .acceptable service until we have received mercy from Him as the One who saves sinners. Before ever sin entered this world God set apart one day in eeven es a time when man might be free from all work and give himself up wholly to becoming ac - et -minted with God, for there is noth- ing that can compare with knowing God (Jer. 1; 23, 24). The Lord of the Sabbath gave to man lnB1s own im- age a day on which He might special- ly bless him by the revelation of isim- self . as tbe source of all being and blessing and elfe and love and peace. The man in the synagogue with the withered bane was strongly suggestive of the condition of the nation and ot their inability to do anything for God ...until they would accept His mercy. In the• record, in Matt. xii, 11, 12, He uses the illustration of the necessItY of. fesceing a sheep from a jet, even on tbe Sabbath day, but He speaks of the owner of the sheep doieg ibis, saying, "What man • shall Stave one sheep," not see a sheep. • He loved these wayward sheep. He came to give them life. He was as rencly to heal them as He was to restore that wither- ed hand, but they v;oule not let Him, and the hardness (or blindness -margin) of their hearts was a grief to Him. Note the cry from His heart condens- ing them, "We would not," "We ,will pot," "If thou hadst kuown" (Matt. xxiii, 37; xxii, 3; John y, 40; Luke xix, 41, 42). Instead of having any- thing like a penitent spirit, a ,convie- tioe of sin, their proud hearts so rebel- led against Him and 1119 teachIng that they went away and took counsel hew they, might kill Hire. For Ens love they gave Him hatred, they knew Him not, they would not have such a one as. their Messiah, but the time will come whets theyeeeall say, "Our God," Piano urchwers flOMEilb asleep ha vieDOliEry hes/ value oR Ark e One 2f the Best E Piano Factories "Ahl And how Inue o yott mean in Canada W, Doherty Piano and Organ Co, }Limited ; to epeculater2 Factoriee and Read -Office • CLIN'I'ON, ONT. e -A sovereign ra lord," elearailsit (Meer Will laY Your !starts wre.e2138,,o.settBAeariGerililvi sTREET, WINNIPEG, MAN 1.••••••••••••••,....••••••••••••••• N1700‘115 Ph0.013hOttine$ The Great BaradBib ReMed0 Tones -and invigoratesthe whets noeyous system,' ,Irinites now Blood in ,old NOT, OlIS Debility, Mental and Brain 'WO2T 11,.
