Inthis lesson Christ is indeedspeak- ing in parable a and in His striking Parabolic language He vividly 'pictur- es the contrast between the lives of the two men— He first contrasts the condition of a wordly rich man with that of a godly poor man in this life and then, reversing the order, He con- trasts the condition of the godly poor man with that of tlie worldly rich man at and after death, He does this in order to rouse His listeners to serious thought about the future life. Later on He lifts tjaeveil as .it were between • this life and the next and lets His bearers listen to a dialogue between a redeemed saint and' a coodemnedtsin- Tier. 'In Christ's.mind at least there is a Heaven =there isaIe11 and the aouls Of believers do immediately pass into ndory at:dleatli while itnbelievere do Iift up their eyes in Hell: Verses x9 -2x. • Here we read of a certain rich man. , not named hitt is taketi to rep 'res'ent, elaas so -that none of the lis- tening Phanseea would feel he in par- ticular was the one h.:sits was retell - Ing to, He• was nanteless but not so the Ppor'inan. He was Lazartis, mean- 'ing clod helps. The rich man is des- cribed, as belonging to the princely ors der, being clothed in ptirple and fine linen, bet we will see that position, even that of royality, dcies not make character. Then' too he had a retinue of servants in his house-L-010st Iikey a mansion to , bein keeping with hut clothing and liis"faring sumptuously every day. Feasts were no doubt of frequent occurrence io that mansion and, the gtteets would be kindred sit - its. Christ Was not condemning •the having and the uses of riches but ratle, er theamisusing of them to the man's own :undoing, That true happiness does got consist In the abundance of the things a man posseases is brought out in this lesson. The .rich meets sin did not consist in either his dress or his diet but in his selfisimess—his one coacern being for his own Inter- est and pleasure regardless of the con- dition of those round a.bout lifm. To thia case an individual by name, Laz- arus—Lazarus is described as , being poor, to the extent of dire poveety—a beggar, ,who was 111 and loathsome • (full of sores); not able even to, Walk for we •read he was ,laid at; the gate. Someone had hati compassion, otwhine and put him in 'the way of securing at least, the leavings of the feast. His desires were meagre, for we read he desired to be fed with the crumbs. Tit this we see nOt ,only the desiees of the, Poor Mart but his disposition. He 'Would be satisfied with the dog's por- tion—the scraps that fell from the rich man's table, Being poor in spirit his was the revvard that,follows humil- ity—Blessed are the poor for theirs is the Kingdom' of -Heaven., (Matt. 5;3.) We are mot told'iliat the Heft man ab- used Lazarns; Ite-iust treated him as though he were not lying at his gate at all. Indifference is often _harder to bear than aetniFilitiSet Christ in an- other place gives utterance to His con- demnation of such neglectin telling words "I' w'as hungry atid ye gave me no:meat."' The poor man was taken notice ofr but it was by, the dogS who were more kind' than their master. Verses 22-28. • Contrastnor the conditiort,Vr the godly poor rnan and the wicked rich inctit aj n4 afte eitth.s.-Death awtits rich auct Poor a "Death with equal pace, impartial fate, Knocks at the palace as the cottage gate. fn due time Death claimed them both. There is nothing said, abont the burial of the pOor man, Perhaps with indecent haste he was hurried to thegiave whereas the -rieh lean was buried with all the ceretnony befitting carte of his pottition amongat his fellow men, •13ut death did not end -all for either of them, 'The 'Soul of Lazarus was borne aloft by not one but an es- cort of angels and given into the care of Abraltall. In this life Abraham was great and -rich noun but he was also the father of the faithful," It was a, • belief' of the ,the that the happmess of the righteous' at death was express- ed in three way's; they go to the gar- den of Eden; they. go to be under the throne of glory, and they go to the bosom of„ Abraham. The rich man's soul wept to, hell aad his condition is a•very wretched one. As the souls of the faithfel do immediately as into glory and are joyful in the presence of the Lord So wicked souls' when sep- arated from the things they love most are in torment. ',Chien, too, the miser- • ly of his state is intensifiedtby seeing Lazarus in such 'happy surrouedings, which no. doubt brought to his mind his own neglect of him on earth. The veil being lifted, we see that the two have changed places in very deed, for it is the rich mart who begs now, and not 'for food as. Lazares did but for a single drop of water, showing how ir- gent is his need when he would plead that the one to whom his :own dogs were- more kind than,he was, should be sent to relieve his awful thirst, He, who on earth refused a crumb is now himself denied a drop, Here the dial- ogue begins and we. see how intense- ly in earnest the lost soul is for he implores the help of one whom upon earth he despised and ignored. He re- cognizes in -Lazarus a ,former"acquain- tance, for he calls hirn by name—not- ice too, the name he gives Abraham. He calls him "Father Abraham" as'h pleads for 'mercy.

Anchor Relic Of Eearly Days An iinusual relic of the early daye when the War canoe of the Indian was the °ply, freight carrier on the Groat Lakes, gradually giving plate to the sailing, schooner, and finally to • the hoge steel freighter carrying grain feorn the Twie cities to Buffalo and ocean ports, was recently preserved for poaterity here when a big hapd- forged iron anchor, weighing 2,,tho0 pounds, was set on a cement pedestal' overlooking the harbor, The anchor belonged to the sailing schooner Menesetung II, launched in 1834, and soon afterwards sent to the bottom in a collision with Amer- ican vessel, Then anchor was the only part of the schooner to be sal- vaged, For nearly a century it has lain forgetteo and was brought • to light a couple of weeks ago. Coming into the possession of C. L. More, it was donated to Goderich to be added to the relics which are already to be found on the picturesque bluffs over- looking- Lake Huron there. These in- clude seine ancient cannon used by the British in the Crimean War and later by CanacFan volunteers at the time of the Fenian ,raids, Records show that from the days of Champlain's explorati ons at the mouth of the Menesetung River here until the days of Gooding, early in the • ioth century, there were no ships big- ger than an Indian's canoe on the Great Lakes north of Detroit. In 1833 the first schooner Menesetung was built and plied between Detroit and Goderich. • It was laid up on the beach to rot in 1834, because the harbor was re- garded as "unsafe.' As a result the transportation system was entirely disjointed, and flour went up to Sem° a barrel in consequence. Then came the new Menesetung schooner, to which the treasured anchor belonged and the situation was saved. That is, until the Meriesetung 11 was sent to the bottom in the clash with the Un- ited States boat. The boat carried insurance of 4,000 sterling. The anchor was salvaged at some • difficulty, being highly valued because there were no •non -working ,establislunents in this country at that period. The -anchor bears the mark of an English rnaker. The big wooden cross bar of oak, 'though showing slight signs of weath- ering as a result of its century of con- flict with elements, is nowhere near decay.
