There are tivo l}i11s rising above the level plan, which have been thus designated. The place was favor - ))1e for addressing it crowd, as the speaker could command a view of his bearers. When he was set It was cul- ary ternary the speaker to sit while aa- s. wl " ressing an audience. It is said that the people of the past assume the kit- ting posture at every oportunity, sitting upon the ground; His disciples—The twelve apti'st,les unci doubtless other of l)i5 followels. They occupied a position 'dose to hies, while the multitudes were ljeydxid thein.' 2. Opened his mouth --s pis expression indicates the, importance ' `uvlrat was to be uteered. Tau;ut them—Christ's preaAing was 4n the manner of teaching,' giving instruction. Saying—This and the two following chapters give us the substance of what Christ said upon this ocaslon. TI. The, The, '(vs. 3-12.) These are nine in number, each one beginning with the word "blessed," or in the Vul- gate with "beati," Latin for blessed. These have been grouped in three class- es: 1. The blesedness which arises from our wants or longings, including the first four. 2. The blessedness which eomes from what we axe, including the next two. 3. The blessedness which, grows out of what we do, including the last three. 3, Blessed—The word happy is too weak to express the thought here. Blessed implies a joy that is spiritual. whose souree is divine, "produced by God's sunshine in tbe soul." Poor in spirit—The spirit is the immortal nature in man; and especially the moral part wherewith a man is religious and re- ceivec and communes with the divine Bpirit.—Whedon. The poor in spirit are those who realize their need and feel their spiritual poverty. They are peni- tent and hence are in a condition to re- ceive the promised blessing. Those who are proud and self-satisfied are far from being poor in spirit. Those who hum- ble themselves and repent of their sins are candidates for the blessing attached to this condition. Kingdom of heaven —There is a sharp contrast between temporal poverty and the possession of a kingdom, so there is a sharp contrast between spiritual poverty and the pos- session of the kingdom of heaven. Christ comes into the heart and sets up bis kingdom, which is "righteousness. and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost," and reigns there himself. 4. Mourn—Here is expressed a want, a longing. They mourn because they have sinned. This does not refer to worldly or temporal sorrow. It does not mean mourning for lost health, wealth or friends, but godly sorrow that "work- eth repentance not to be repented of." Comforted — The Lord comforts by speaking the words of pardon and peace to their hearts. True joy is frequently the fruit of sorrow. This promise is positive, "shall be" comforted. 5. Meek --"Of ,gentle and long-suffering dispo- sition; of peaceable temper; submis- sive, compliant, yielding." When this due composure of mind has reference' to God, it is termed "resignation;" when it is exerted toward men, it is "mildness and gentleness;" when we consider it with regard to ourselves, we style it•"pa- tience.'--Wesley. Inherit the earth- - The land: en expression- frequently used by the prophets to signify the land of Canaan. innder this figure our Lorex promises the abundance of spiritual good provided for in the gospel. The Canaan pf perfect rest and joy and peace is the inberitance of those who are truly meek. 6. Hunger and thirst ---These strong ex- pressions set forth the longing of the soul for spiritual good. Hunger and. thirst are the strongest of the bodily appetites and as figures they are em- ployed to represent the intensity of de- sire that prepares the way for the reeep- tion of the grace that saves from sin. :Filled --Phe soul is satisfied. 7. blessed are the merciful—Those who feel for the woes and distresses of oth- ers, whether rriends or enemies, and smelt their lintels for their relief.

"It is genuine satisfaction in be- ing merciful to others, and God. and our fellowyrnen repay us in addition by being compassionate toward us.
