Jesus will be attended by a glorious angelic Bost when he comes as Judge, and not by a few humble fol- lowers, as in the days of his flesh. The throne of his glory -This throne is great and white (.rev. 20: 11), that is, immac- ulately pure in its government and deci- sions. "Throne of his glory." More than "glorious throne"; the throne peculiar to, manifesting, his glory. Vvnat and where it will be, we do not know. - Schaff. Bis sitting upon the throne de- notes his authority. 32. All nations - Not the Jews only, but all individuals of all nations, will be assembled "before him." "Not only those who shall be alive at his coining, but all who have ever lived, are embraced within the scope of the Saviour's conception."- Morison. He shall separate -The separ- ation will proceed upon the basis of moral character, and is made before the sentence is pronounced. As a shepherd divideth, etc. -A common scene is pre- sented in illustration. The sheep is a symbol of affection, gentleness and obe- dience, while the goat stands for un- cleanness and rebellion. Sheep and goats feed in the same pastures, but fornt two distinct groups. Two classes and only two are formed. All mankind fall into ono class or the other. Every one is either righteous or wickeel. 33.

One is not good deeds were the outfiowing of the on the right hand by accident, nor by Christlflce spirit which they possessed, the arbitrary command of the Judge; he and they were amazed to hear the Judge is there because lie has definitely chosen to become fitted for that place. Because another has failed to make such choice and to seek such preparation, he finds himself placed with those on the left hand. 1I. The righteous rewarded (vs. 34-40).

The "cursed" had neglected or refused to perform arts of mercy toward their suffering fellow men, thus showing that they were destitute of the spirit of Christ. "Only sins, of omission are mentioned here; showing that the absence of good works, the destitution of love, or the dominion of selfishness, disqualifies man for bless- edness, and is sufficient, even without positive crimes.. to exclude hint from heaven."--•-aS'ehaf f. 44.

A miseionary, weary and heartsick,' went to address a. strange Sunday school in the country. While pondering what he should say to them he noticed in the corner a little girl shabbily dressed and barefooted, her lit- tle sunburnt face buried in her hands, the tears trickling between her smith brown fingers, sobbing as if her heart would break. Soon a little girl, appar- ently about eleven, went to her, and, re- moving her ragged sunbonnet, gently stroked her tangled hair and talked with her cheerily until her face bright- ened, her tears were dried, and only smiles wreathed the small, rosy mouth. The missionary went to theta and said to the little. comforter le that your little sister, my dear?" "No, sir, I have no slater." "WI, one of the neighbor's children?" asked the missionary. ••A little schoolmate, perhaps"." "iso, sir; she is a stranger. 1 do nut know where she came from. I never saw her before','• "Then how came you to be so kind th her, if you do not know her?" "Because she was a stranger, sir, and seemed all alone, and needed eomebudy to be ktnd to her." •Ahl" said. the inissionauy to himself, "here is a text for me to pre.acti from: 'Because she was a •tr:ange, , and seemed all alone, and needed sameb..dy to be kind to her'" The sick. 'Sick, and ye visited me" (v. 36). A bishop of the Al. E. Chervil South, being on board a. New Orle.,na steamer, saw, late one night, a pian go stealthily to a state -room, and hast.,y open and shut the door, passing some- thing in without entering., lee suspected, it wag- a case est yc ii -govere,.and,, after pressing the 'afficere. of the boat, was in formed that it was a Catliedic priest 1,1 with that terrible disease. He insisted upon being admitted to his room. As tee door was opened the sickening odor for amoment drove him back, but, .en- tering, he found a miserable men at the point of death, who for twenty-four hours had not had ego much as a cap of water ministered to him. But what was the bishop's surprise to find not a Cath- olic priest, but a well-known ministet of his own denomination. 1-1e cared for hilt, and was the nutans, under God, of hie restoration to health. He risked his life to save a sick stranger, but unex- pectedly saved a friend. Sumo such ;lad surprise awaits all those to whom Jeeite shall say at His coming, "I was sick, and ye visited me." The smallest. "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least... ye have done it unto me" (v. 40). "Wlt ch will you do? Please yourselves or strive to please Him?
