this day didst raise Thy Son Christ
Jesus from the dead, giving Him vic-
tory over fear and sin, and sorrow,

up together with Christ, that we also
may walk innewness of life. 0 Thou,
Who hast brought immortality to
light in Thy Gospel: we give Thee
thanks for the certainity of the world

ers and sisters, who have entered al-
ready to the joy of their Lord. And

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.

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

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

IR' DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBER
Worts and weary, seedy and sad, an
editor sat him down,
'Mid work and rubbish, paper and
dust, with many a wrinkled frown,
He sighed when he thought of -his.
paper bilis, his. rent, and board and
wood
And groaned when the cop f mfiend
yelled' out, as he there in the door-
way stood.
"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."

hair, Times, Jock McDougall is vilify-
ing the Scotchman, in your own good.
paper, Mr. Webster is glorifying him.
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.
