FAVORITE HYMNS
Be Thou my Guardian and my Guide
And hear me when I call;
Let not my slippery footsteps slide,
" And hold me lest I fall.
The world, the flesh, and Satan dwell
Around the path I tread;
a save me from the snares of hell
Thou Quickener of the dead.
And if I tempted amto sin,
And outward things' are strong,
Do Thou„ 0 Lord, keep watch within
And save my soul from wrong.

Still let me ever watch and pray,
And feel that I am. frail;
Thatif the tempter cross my way,
Yet he may not prevail.
The Rev. Isaac Williams, B.D., was
a son of a London Chancery lawyer,
but born in Cardiganshire, Wales,
where his mother was visiting her
parents. He was educated privately
at first by a Church clergyman from
whom he acquired an extraordinary
knowledge and liking for the Latin
language. So greatly .was he attach-
ed to Latin that for many years af-
terwards he thought in that language
and had to translate his ideas and
opinions from it into English. At
twelve years of age, in 1814, he went
to the famous public school of Har-
row and after a good course there to
Trinity College, Oxford .
There he won the University prize
for a Latin poem, which led to his
Keble, the poet, whose book "The fluenced by his Tracts, and by his
Christian Year" had a wonderful ef- companionship with . Keble, Pusey,
feet upon the spiritual life of his
country and upon the subject of
hymnology. We obtained "Sun of iny'
soul, Thou Savior dear," and many
another valued hymn, from-}' The
Christian Year, and other poetical
writings of that sainted clergyman.
Mr. Williams became the greatly
attached friend and disciple of Mr.
Keble and it was probably that friend-
ship and his admiration of J. H. (af-
terwards Cardinal) Newnan,' which
led him after winning a college fel-
lowship to leave pastoral work and
become an Oxford `Tutor,
There he was closely associated
with, and became one of the leaders
in the great ;;,Tractarian or Oxford
moveinent wh•ch has greatly influenc-
ed the. religkctn of English-speaking b
people down to' the present time. The i
Tracts they wrote and published call- e
ed people back to the ancient teach-
ings of the Fathers:of the Church,
as exponents of the Sacred Scriptures
and of the writings of the earliest ti
followers of the Apostles.
Newman, Frowde, Caswell and oth-
ers. No one then living was so well
fitted for that professorate, but the
British fear of Romanising influences
which had no real justification in the
case of Williams, overrode all other
considerations.
Deeply wounded by the action of
his fellow -churchmen, Mr. Williams
gave up his position in the University
and humbly retired to his pastoral
work in the country.
There . he wrote many valuable
books, including several volumes of
poems, from one of which "H

Now as they, went on their way:
Our Lord and His disciples were
probably on their way to Jerusalem
for the feast of dedication mentioned
only in John 10:22-89, He entered
into a certain village. 'This was Beth-
any (the name pehaps tneans "the
house of dates"). And a certain' wo-
man named Martha received hien in-
to her house. Lazarus was probably
in Jerusalem attending the feast, but

PHARISEE FOES,
But woe unto you Pharisees! I.
this, said Christ„ they were thein
selves incurring woes most fearful
and enduring. For yetithe mint and
rue and every herb. Deut, 14: 22, re-
quired for the support of religion one-
tenth of the grain that should be har-
vested; but the Pharisees had extend-
ed this into interminable discussion
over the tithing of garden seeds, and
acrimonious . debates as to whether,
when the seeds were tithed, the stalks
should be tithed as well.' And pass
over justice and . the love of God;
With their scrupulous tithing of in-
finitesimals the Pharisees sought to
cloak their hard, bargaining, their
cruel oppression of the poor, their
harsh dealing with the widows and.
orphans, their grasping selfishness
and rapacity. But these, ought ye to
have done. Christ did not involve in
His condemnation the principle of
tithing which was sensible and neces-
sary.
And not to leave the other undone.
Here again, as in the case of Mary
and Martha, what Christ insists upon
is a wise emphasis upon the most im-
portant -matters, the things of the
soul, the interests of eternity, true
worship of God, ;genuine love of men,
First things first.
Woe unto you Pharisees! for ye
love the chief seats in the synagog-
ues. In front of the congregation in
the synagogue was a platform on
which was a senicrcular bench where
sat the most honoured men—or,
sometimes, those who cared to pay
for the privilege! And thesalutations
in the -marketplaces. The Pharisees
greeted one another there with high-
flown compliments and lofty, titles,
and expected their followers to show
therm deep reverence before the peo-
ple.
Woe unto you! forye are as the
tombs which appear not. Burials in
Palestine ' were often made in the
fields and in other places outside the
cemeteries. And the men that walk
over them know it not. Thus the in-
ner wickedness and pollution of the
Pharisees was hidden and unsuspect-
ed beneath a fair exterior,
And one of the lawyers answering
saith unto him. The lawyers were
legal teachieis and practitioners un-
der the religious laws of the Jews,
basedon the laws of"Mosesbut fan-
tastically and interminably expanded.
It is often difficult to distinguish
them from the scribes, Treacher, in
saying this thou reproachest us also
The formalism and, legalism of 'the
Pharisees was of a piece with those
of the lawyers; in condemning the
first, Christ by inference condemned"
the second as well.
And he said, Woe unto you law-
yers alsol Christ was quick to take
up the challenge. For ye load men
with burdens grievous to be borne,
and ye yourselves touch not the bur-
dens with one of your fingers. They
did nothing to lessen the weight of
ceremonialism which pressed so
heavily upon the common people, but
rather added to it by new prescrip-
tions and more suble and difficult re-
quirements.
Woe unto you lawyers! for yetook
away the key of knowledge. The
key, wherewith he was to open the
Scripture, was the understood symbol
of the office of a scribe (and so of a
lawyers. : Ye ' entered not in your-
selves. The lawyers did not under-
stand the real meaning of the Bible,'
as was proved by their heartlessness
and shallowness. And thein that were
entering ye hindered. They hindered
others by refusing the right of pri-
vate interpretation of Scripture, while
their own interpretations merely con-
fused the understanding and misin-
terpreted Holy Writ.
And when he was come out from
thence. Front the Pharisee's house
where he had• been eating, and where
Christ's foes would be somewhat res-
trained. The scribes and Pharisees
began to pressupon him vehenm.eutly,
Goodspeed translates: "began to
watch hint closely." And to provoke
hint to speak of many things. They
tried to drawhim out an many sub-
jects.
Laying wait for him, to catch
something out of his mouth, Christ's
enemies laid traps for him, preparing
artful questions, like that about the
tribute money, which Christ could
hardly answer without getting into
difficulties with one party or the oth-
er.
