SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR APRIL rst. sg23 Lesson Title—The Walk to `• Em- maus. Lesson Passage—Luke 24: s3-31. Golden Text—Luke 24: 5, .6. One of the fundamentals of the - Christian church is belief in the re- surrection of Christ. In the gospels there are recorded ten appearances of the Saviour after His resurrection. There was something strange about His risen body that prevented instant recognition. It was only when Mary heard the tender tones of His voice that she knew Him for her Master; before that, Be had been to her just the gardener. In the interview re- •corded in this lesson, neither face nor voice was recognized by the two to whom He appeared. This is the fourth occasion of His appearing. First of all it was Mary Magdalene, who saw Him, then others of the women, afterwards Peter, and • now the two, one only being named—Cleo- pas. All of these appearances were on the day He rose from the grave, now called "the first day of the week, or the Lord's Day." And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, .which was from Jerusalem about three score furlongs, (Verse 13). Conjecture has it that the other one was Luke mod- esty being the reason for the omis- sion. They were travelling to a vil- lage some eight miles west of Jerus Mr..and Mrs. Mcl enzie, who have been residents of town for the past two years moved to Galt last, Satur- day. Preparatory service will be held' in the, Presbyterian ehuroh next Friday afternoon, Sacrament the following oriittr�. r. Sunday iii Mr. Geo. Muir is at present quite ill, we hope. for a speedy recovery, clay is the third day since these things were done." (verse as ). 13y their very voice, as, well as words, they convey- ed to Him their disappointment, and their naw hopless outlook on life. However they did not overlook the ray' of hope in the news brought by the women who had paid a very early visit to the sepulchre. They gave Hint the details of that message, and how it was confirmed by certain of the disciples but • ended with "but Him they saw not," (verse 24). The stranger listened without inter- rupting their story and when they had. ended He sad unto them --"O fools;' If they had not looked critically at Him before;they certainly would on hearing themselves thus addressed. In Matthew 5, 22 we read Jesus' own words—"Whosoever shall say "Thou fool" shall be in danger of hell fire," Fool , here is a different word from the one Jesus used in speaking to the two, The one implies comtempt, the other weakness or thoughtlessness. He wished to rouse them up to see that they had been slow in realizing the truth of the things foretold of the Messiah. They listened to a wonder- ful old Testament story, giving step to step, an interpretation of the Mess- iah as seen therein. The most strik- ing passages in the writings of Moses and the prophets foretelling the char- acter and sufferings of Christ, which He would most likely refer to, in or- der to convince them that though He. was crucified yet He was the Christ, are the followng: Gen. 335; Deut. 18, 15; Gen. 49.1o; Num. 2x, 8,9; Isa. 53; Dan. 9 25-27; Isa. 9. 6 7; Ps. 90, 16-22; Mal. 42.6. He made as though He would have gone further, (versa 28). He kept on as if it was not His intention to stop; and no doubt He would have gone on if they had not urged Him to tarry. "Bat they constrained Him saying, Abide with us." They gave Him a pressing invitation to remain with ter.:.ni at the place where they were going to stop for the night. They had been impressed with His conversation and were unwilling to part company so soon, with this most interesting stranger so they said, "Abide with us:" The table w,as soon spread and He sat down with them, and at once took His place as Master of the feast. This no doubt attracted their attention, and re- called to mind the feast in the upper, room where, "He took the bread and blessed -it and break and gave to them," as He was now doing. It may have been, as He did this, that they saw the print of the nails in His hands. At any rate "their eyes were opened and they knew Him." With that He vanished out of their sight; slipped away as they looked at each other in perfect amazement that He is "Risen indeed." We learn from this narrative: (i) That when two hold converse together about the things of Christ, He comes and makes a third and joins in their 'fellowship -"Where two or three are gathered together in my name there am I in the , midst of them." (Matt 18:20.). (2) When there is a desire to learn. greater knowledge attendsthe effort. "Search the scriptures;, for in them ye think ye have eternal life; and they are they which testify of me." (i John 5:39.) (3) "When invited to enter the heart, Christ never declines. Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open : the door I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me, (Rev. elem. It is easy to imagine the feel- 3:20.)" • ings of these men when we recall the WORLD MISSIONS happenings of the past three days— the last 'conversation with the Master McAll Began' When He Was Fifty in the Tipper Room, the scene in the Fifty years old is the McAll Miss garden; the.. arrest, trial and • crucifix- ion of =France this .January. .It is in- ion, Following all this was the bitter teresting to be told that the reverend disappointment of their hopes. They Scottish founder of the mission Dr. thought He was to redeem. Israele It Robert' W.

That is to say, this now ers, and find consolation in talking. widespreading work was no youth's things over by themselves. That is dream; it was begun by a man past what they did, for in verses 14 and 15, 'what American ministers of lateyears we read, ".And they talked together of have been calling the "dead line." The all these things which had happened, great war devastating so much of and they communed together and reasoned." The use of the words communed and reasoned shows how thoroughly concerned they were about the outcome of the events of the past days. These were indeed crucial tim- es and required that reason be not de- throned. Just here as it ever is, Christ drew near and went with them. But their eyes were holden that they should not know him, (verse 16). To thein he was merely a stranger who unobserved by them, so deep were they immersed in their own thoughts and words had slipped up beside, them. Then too in Mark x6,42 we read, "Af- ter he appeared in another Idam unto two of them as they walked, arid went into the country" Beside this, not really. believing that He had ris- en, they were not expecting to meet Him. "And He said unto them, what manner of communications are these that we have one to another, as ye walk and . are sad?" (verse 17). He was an observant stranger, for He saw that they were deep in conversa- tion on some subject that made them sad, and He couldn't help remarking upon it., to them, so it would appear. They were :startled and one of them voiced their "amazement by asking Him' a question:—Could it be possible that there was even one stranger, at er io the Passover, til hdfailedto note the strange thingsv that had happened, and about which there had been much talk?'. He confirmed this opinion ,.in them by asking "What . things?" A lengthy answer is.given in verse 19 in which they speak of Jesus, not as the Messiah but as Jesus of Nazareth. His death had led them to doubt His be- i:ng the Messiah; but they knew His history and His works, so it was the things they actually knew that they told. No doubt could be cast upon His being a wonderful prophet, pow- erful in word and deed. "Never man spake like this man,' The marvellous miracles done by Him could not be disputed; so they talked freely to Him about ,all these things. Then they proceeded to tell the mournful story crucifixion, ten- derly find c i of His betrayal , e trusted that it 1 in "But adding, w s; had been lie which should have re- , deetned Israel; and beside all this, tf France and distracting all of. it, seem- ed at one time to threaten the dis- solution of the mission but its leaders today regard the opportunity open to its workers as vastly wider than prior to the conflict. TM mind of the pop- ulace, it is said, was never so ready as today to listen to the message of a gospel which bids a man conte not to church or priest but to a saving and. divine Lord.

"What do people fancy," he said, "an editor lives upon? Air and water, glory and debt,' till his toilsome life is done? I'll stop their papers, everyone, till their honest debts, they pay, And shark their names off the mailing book for ever and ever aye, "Take this copy, double lead, .-..and mark with a pencil blue, And send to all who are in arrears, from ten years,, down to two," - And then to the copy -hungry boy he handed a pencil scrawl, Of hieroglyphics. straggling, wild, all tangled, and lean and.tall. When scarce a fortnight had dragged its length of tired -out hours away, There came to the heart of the editor, a gladsome joy, one day; 'Twas only a letter from Gordon Mills, .in a hand, both weak'and old, But out of it fell a treasured coin of solid, beautiful gold! The letters claimed his interests then, and so he slowly read, The scrawled, but simple and honest words, and this it what they said: Dear Editor, I read the lines you marked and sent to• me, So I send this piece of gold, and :aslc, To send my paper right along, and forget the debt I owed. For I've took your paper for twenty years, and so far as e'er I know'd, I never owed no man a cent till about four years ago, When my poor wife died, and the crops were bad, and the fever laid me low. "And times hain't never` been the same. to little Liz and m— e For we are all that's left. behind --and since my eyes can't see, She always reads the paper, and it's been our only cheer, And'brought us all the news and fun we've had for many a year. "I'm gettin' old and feeble, now, and down with the rheumetiz, And there's the paper left to me; just that and little Liz, We couldn't bear to lose it now, it's been with us so long Till• it's very name is music, like an old time, happy song. "This twenty -dollar piece of gold, will pay for all I' owe, ' And what is over and above, just keep and let it. go Toward 'paying for the paper till a brighter, better day; And send to Liz, she'll need it then, when I am called away." Glad and thankful, the,editor was, - as he knew that there was one, Who loved and could appreciate, the work that he had done. He felt that life was not in vain, and smiled through happy tears; And then on the mailing boolc, he wrote, "Paid. up for twenty years." tvo 1111 1111 gni ONION l 'lir ", l ..::"t ,, 1210115111111X11111111111111110111111 Auct Postp ell* Ern. n S;:. ie at Patter"son's Jewele>ryStre I: ed on account o➢1' f10r y Wer,,�>><W bad roads 4so C 1,1iiheJl tater d: ie.

Jock is Scotch by nanie but not by nature. Mr. Webster bears a Scotch name, (orgisaliy Wabster) and is manifestly very much -Scotch by nat- ure. Maybe like mineself, Jock does- n't understand the Scotch character. Mr. Webster, of course does, so I am more disposed to believe what Mr, Webster says of Scotch than what Jock asserts of them. From my study of history, I gather that the Scot has been a very brave, a very wild and •a very fierce man, yet my study has also made clear to me that his wildness wastes, and his fier- ceness frizzles immediately he gets otit of ear -shot' of the bagpipe, and the Presbytery.. The pipe and the presby- tery have been a great help to the Scut in by -gone days, but in the days to come, when peace shall hold dom- inion over the earth, when the bag- pipe will ave gone to the museum and the presbytery to the workshop, will those defections leave the Scotch character derelict in virtue? Is bravery, buttressed by bagpipe, arid presbytery, the only asset of the Scotch character of a virtuous nature? Now, Mr. Editor. I have studied the scotchman very closely and the clos- er I get to hint the better I like him. When first I ani introduced to a Scot - cilium, he is usually a block of ice, very unresponsive, awfully: standoff- ish, perversely ttiicominunicative, but, rub him the right way, coax him to talk, betray an interest in,his point of view, solicit his help, acid you dis- cover a man upon whom: you can de - prd, In any opinionhis dependability is the Scotch9ttan s greatest asset, and most wonderful asset, You may de. pend on him to the very last •ditch he will either prove the staunchest of friends or the bitterest of enemies. Either way, anyway, you can count ox him and back him, He is sure to do. just what you expect him to, do and that's what I like him, swell for, 'Now the English man, the Irishman•; and the Frenchman are all alike in this, that what you expect thein to do, they will do occasionally, but gener- ally they will do otherwise. My own countryman, on the other hand, .he never does what you expect hien to do, just because he knows you expect him to do it, and_ he wants always to, show that your expectations are on the wrong track, because he thinks he knows better than -you do, and con- sequently otherwise than you do. All • these differences in character and dis asition Mr. 'Editor or are not blemishes, they ar blossoms. Every character has its use. In the very great long rain every character that is good will be perpetuated, and every one that is evil will be eliminated, There is nothing in this word as Ens- erson says, that errs from law. Our world is shrinking very fast, We are getting closer together; we will soon be obliged to understaty4 each other. Familiarity will breed, not comtempt of each other, but tol- erance of each other and by-and-by, love of each other. That appears to me absolutely inevitable. However much Mr. Webster may Troost his oat - ion's' characteristics and however'" irtuch jock may decry these, they will either persist and flottrish or fade away and die, as the progress of the universal race shall determine.
