LESSON XIL-DEC. t8, 19i0,
The Resurrection. -Matt. 23: I.20.
Commentary. --1: The womon at the
tomb (vs, 1), 1. In the end of the Sab-
bath. The Jewish Sabbath closed • tit
granola, but the night follow.iug is here
mentioned first clay of the 'Week. It
was early on Sunday morning. Cance
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary.
Mary from i\1agdala, whom Jesus had
cured of <iemouiacal possession. "The
other Mary" nem the sister of the :neth-
er of jostle, and the mother of Jantes
the Less and Joses. With the two
Marys carne Salome (Mark 16:1) and
Joanna (Luke 24:10). They had left
their different homes at a very early
hour, some while "it was yet dark"
(John 20:1), to reach the sepulehre.
Their purpose was to embalm the body
of Jesus, since they had no thought that
he would leave the tomb in the manner
ho did.
II. The tomb opened •(vs. 2-4). 2.
A, great earthquake. This occurred very
early in the morning before the Romeo
reached the sepulchre. There was an
earthquake attending Christ's eruedfixion
and one attending Ids reeurreetion. The
angel of the Lord. A messenger sent
on a special errant. It was to roll back
the stone, to overawe the guards and
to show that Jesus' body was not re-
moved from the tomb by the disciples.
Luke and John .speak of two angels,
while Matthew and 1lfark mention one.
The fact that they mention but one
does not prove that there were not two,
and the evangelists do not contradict
one another. Roiled back the stone. A
stone, in shape about something like
a • millstone, was used to close the en-
trance to the sepulchre. Christ could
have rolled it back himself, but angelic
agency was employed in the great traits -
action. Sat upon it. The Roman eel -
diem had guarded the closed and sealed
tomb that had been supernaturally ov-
erpowdered; the angel was sitting by
the tomb that had been •supernaturally
opened. The angel was there to explain
the disappearance of the Lolyd. 3. His
eountenance. "Appearance." -R. V. Like
lightning. .Compare the appeara$.ee of
the angel here described and that of
Christ at the Transfiguration and that
given in Rev. 1:14, 15. The appearance
indieated it heavenly origin. 4. For fear
of him. The soldiers were guarding the
tomb for fear that Truman hand's night
steal away the body of Jesus, and were
not prepared for a heavenly visitation.
The watchers diel quake. (R. V.). Show-
ing that their terror was genuine and
extreme. As dead men. They were
completely overcome and the dazzling
splendor of the angel were more than
they could endure and they were pros-
trated in unconsciousness.
III.- The angel's message vs. 55-8).5.
The angel .. said unto the women. It
is probably that Mary Magalene reach-
ed the tomb first and saw that the
stone was rolled away. She hastened
to tell Peter, and while she was gone
the other women arrived and entered the
sepulchre. They were naturally af-
frighted at the absence of Jesus and
the circumstances attending his disap-
pearance. , One. of the :two -angels men-
tioned. by Luke and John spoke words of
comfort to the women. Fear not ye.
The guards were terrified at the pre-
sence of the angels, but a message of
comfort was borne to the women by the
heavenly- visitors. 1 know, :1, reassur-
ing proof that the angels were divine-
ly sent up this especial mission. Was
.crucified. The followers of Jesus believ-
ed that he was dead, for they were
about the duty of embalming the body.
Joseph of Arimathaea sought the privil-
ege of l.urcing the body in his own new
tomb. The Roman officer had pro-
nounced him dead, and the- soldiers had
pierced his side. so there could be no
doubt of the fact of Christ's death, en
Jie is risen. A reason why he Is not
here. '.Caere worcl4 have ever furnished
inspiration to the followers of Chriet.

twee and comfort. The feet that they
eougtht Jesus .showed their lave for nine
and his resurrc•etina brought great glad -
tress to their hearts.
7. Tell His disciples= -'rhe sorrowing,
despairing disciples must be told quick-
ly. that Jesus is risen. Peter's sad and
penitent heart oust be cheered. Into
Galilee --Before llis crucifixion He had
told His elisciples that Ile would go be -
lore then into Calilee (Matt. 20. 3�2;
Mark 14. 28). Ile appeared to tltenr be-
fore going there, but His appearan'yt

aa,ngelh command, It was a, glad message

Tide was the second appearance. The.
first appeavartee was• to Mary Magda-
lene (Mark 1.6. 9). It seems that when
she told Peter and John of the empty
tends they at once ran to the sepulchre
to see for themselves (John 20. 2.10),
and she also interned at once to the
tomb. During her absence the other wo-
men had received their commission from
the angel and had hurriedly left. Peter
and. John soon left oleo, and Mary •re-
mained alone at the torah weeping. It

-This public appointment was wade in
order that the whole body of diselples
zniglat meet the risen Lord. Five hun-
cired were present on a mountain in Gal,-
ileo.
V. The soldiers bribed (ve. 11-15). The
story of the earthquake and the appear-
ance of the angels could not fail to
reach the ears of the Jewish leaders.
They had taken every precaution that
the execution of Christ and the destruc-
tion of His influence might be a success,
but at the dawn of the third day after
His erueifixfon they were facing a new
problem. If the people should be allow-
ed to know the truth, they would eager-
ly flock to Ills standard. They hastily
decided upon a course of action, which
Included bribery and falsehood, a course
in keeping with all their previous deal
ings with Jesus. They would make it
appear that the disciples of Jesus stole
away His body while the soldiers on
guard at the tomb were asleep. The
sailers were hired to testify to the
falsehood, and were assured of freedom
from pi:nislament at the hands of the
Roman goverment fo rtheir professed
neglect of duty. The absurdity of the
position held by the Jewish leaders is
apparent. It meant death for a Roman
soldier who was known to sleep on duty.
It was a capital offence to break the
governor's seal unlawfully. It was ex-
tremely improbable that all the soldiers'
would fall asleep at one time. They
would be unable to testify truthfully to
what occurred while they were asleep.
The disciples were greatly surprised
when they learned that the body was
missing from the tomb.
VL 'The great commisison (vs. 16-20.)
18. All power: Not only all power, 15ut
all authority. It includes power over
matter and over spirit, power on earth
and in Heaven. 19. Go ye -Even though
there seem to be no doors open, doors
will open before those who "go" at
Christ's command. Make disciples of all
the nations (R. V.) -The work is great
and the field wide. The apostle is to
put forth every effort, in harmony with
tate word and the Spirit, to teach the
truths of the gospel and to induce the
people to embrace salvation. Not only
the Jews, but all nations are to receive
the offer of the gospel. Baptizing -13y
this act the convert deelares his allegi-
ance to Christ and his separation front
the world and sin. In the name -one
name, one Godhead, but three Persons.
20. Teaching -Instructing, guiding. 1
am with you alway-Christ's presence
is promised "all the days," until the end
of the dispensation, or age -until his
second coning.
The spirit of Christianity is a mission-
ary spirit. Christ's direct command is
that the gospel shall be preached among
all nations. The church is not to con-
fine its efforts to its own locality. Any
church grows faster and is more success-
ful at bonne by being actively interested
in foreign missions. Christians should
pray for them, give to their support and
use their influence in their favor.
Questions. --How long was Christ's
body in the tomb? What proofs are
there that he was dead? Who came
early to the sepulchre? Why did they
come? Describe the apeparanee of the,angel. •-What was'the angel's message to
the women? To whom did our Lord first
appear? How did the Jews explain the
disappearance of Christ's body from the
tomb? Where did Christ later meet his
followers? What commission did he
give his disciples?
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
The Great Commission.
Communion, '''The eleven disciples
went .... where Jesus had appointed
them. And .. saw him" (vs. 16, 17.)
In the quiet retirement of a Galilean
mountain the risen Jesus apepared to
his waiting disciples. Sa now as we
come apart and commune with him, he
makes himself known to us.
Cheer. All authority .lia.th been giv-
en unto me itt heaven and on earth"
(v. 18, R. V.) Christ is the Lion of the
tribe of Judah; the Root of David (Rev.
5: 5), and hath authority over natural
forces to hinder their hurting men
(Luke 8: 24, 25) ; authority over demons
to cast them out (Acts 16: 16-113); au-
thority over death and the grave (Rev.
1: 18); authority over angelic hosts to
send them to our rescue (Acts 12: 7);
authority over the passions of Hien. "i)r.
Paton tells how often the savages of
Tania assembled to take his life, and
some chief was lett to stand up in a criti-
cal moment, and by an unlooked-for sug-
gestion turn them • aside, and . they dis-
persed without hurting a hair of his
head; and how he went scores of times
through furious crowds of naked, arm-
ed savages, determined to murder him,
and escaped their hands; turning some-
times and commanding them, in the
name of Cod, to disperse, and -sometimes
seeing their muskets pointed and their
spears poised and yet fall unused."
Command. 1. Peremptory.. "Go" (v.
19). 2. Personal, "Go ye," (v. 19). Not a
matter of option, but of obligation. If
I follow my Lord's command I can-
not stay; I, am compelled to "go" daily
in spirit, itt prayer, in giving, and really
in person when He opens the way. 3.
Proper. "Go ye therefore" (v. 19. He
who has "all power" to protect coin -
mends' it. ''The Spirit urges it ,. The
church echoes it. The Golden Rule re-
quires it. Open doors invite it. Re-
sults warrant it. The judgment will de-
mand an aecount of it. The rewards
Of eternity await it,"
Commission, 1. Preach. "Make disciples
of all the nations" (v, 19, It. V.).
"Preach the gospel" *(Matrk 16. 15).
Evangelize. 2. Baptize. Ila)itizing them
in the name (not names) of the Father,
and of the Son and of the holy Ghost"
(v. 19). We are strengthened with
might by the Spirit, that Christ may
dwellin our hearts and we he filled un-
to all. fulness of God (Eph, 3. 16-19), 3,
Teach. "Teaching theta" (v. 20). In-
stead of strawberry festivals in, our
churches let us have Missionary circles
and "feed" the hearts and minds of "the
flock" by "teaehing them to observe"
this command to earry the gospel to
the heathen, There are one billion heath-
en and only ten thousand missionaries,
making each missionary responsible for
one hundred thousand souls. Yet Christ
nags give one-tenth of"a cent a day for
foreign missions. The Christian world
gives one cent a year. for each heathen
soul.
Covenant, 1. --Promise, "Le" (v. 20).
Every "go" has its "10." Every Bible
precept has its corresponding promise,
We can believe the promise if we obey
the precept. To have as a life motto the
precept, "Observe all things whatsoever
I have commanded you" (v. 20) is to
have as a life power the fulfilment of
the promise, "A.11 things, whasoever ye
shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall
receive" (Matt. 21. 22). 2, Power, "I
ani" (v. 20). "He. ,livetlz" (Iter- I. 18).
When men die they "rest from their
labors" (Rev. 14. 13), Stanton standing
by Lincoln's coffin said, "Ilere lies the,
most perfect ruler of men who ever liv-
ed." But Lincoln's rule ended with the
grave. 3. Presence. "With you" (v: 20).
4. Perpetuity. "All the days" (v. 20, R.
V., margin).

Contrary to a widespz ea;d belief that
hard woods give more heat in burning
than soft varieties, the scientists at
Washington are contending that the
greatest heating power is possessed by
the wood of the linden tree, which is
very soft. Fir stands next to linden, and
almost equal to it. Then comes pine,
hardly inferior to fir and linden, while
hard oak possesses 8 per cent. less heat-
ing capacity than linden, and red beech
10 per cent. less.
Pennsylvania annually grows .,15,000,-
00 worth of vegetables.• The Keystone
State ranks second to New York in com-
mercial importance of garden produce in
the United States.
Before a horticultural meeting a Mich-
igan peach grower said that he had. "yel-
lows" in his. orchards, and had had it for
years, and that he eut up and burned
any infected tree as soon as it showed
the first symptoms. Then he proceeded
to remove the dirt as fair as the roots
penetrated, refilling the bole with fresh
earth. and a young tree would be plant-
ed there the following year. Ia this way
he kept his orchard intact id in a flour-
ishing condition.

Some dairymen believe that if the food
of their cows is changed itwill have a
bad, effect upon the nnik',flow,t'but re-
peated scientific experiments ahow that
changing from one feed to another, with
frequent additions to the regular food,
helps the milk flow.
Mutton sheep should never be of mix-
ed breeds on one farm. Get one good
mutton breed, stick to it, and develop
it to the highest notch possible.' A lot
of mixed lambs never bring the highest
price on the market. It is those of one
breed, uniform in size, shape and condi-
tion, that get the big money.
Sheep are nervous animals and of rath-
er delicate constitution, and suffer more
from bad ventilation and overcrowding
than any other animal on the farm. It
is a mistake, therefore, to confine sheep
during the winter in close quarters. If
kept dry their fleeces will keep them
warm.
Professor II. W..Howard, of the Wash-
ington State experiment station, has dis-
covered that the common house fly mul-
tiplies and thrives in the alfalfa fields.
This discovery hos caused a great deal of
interest in the west and investigations
by scientists are now being made to as-
certain just how the fly breeds in alfalfa
and how the pest may be overcome.

A well bred dairy cow will give about
8,000 pounds of milk in a year, Some
exceptional cows are known to have giv-

To kill wild mustard in grain crops use

Widen people needed chicken feed Only
a few pare ago they went to the dealer

begs. That and table refuse constituted
the bill of face in the hen yard. lint a
mighty uncertain 7neuu it was in its le:-
su1ts.
So a wide-awake feed pian of _Miesouri-
according to the flay, 1'luu:' and .geld
Journal, conceived Lite idea of preparing
mixed grain rations for feeding; baby
chicks for the first twenty-one days; an-
otlier, differently Waimea, for earryitg
them until they are three months of
age; and Still another kind for the adult
fowls. Tide form of feeding is composed
of many different kind, of gain, rat

piny imported. a 'iusn front Europe at a
large price for uo other purpose than to
prepare a food to fatten poultry quick-
ly.-- This ..feed is leirown. as miming feed.
One concern in America is using, thou-
sands of carloads of forcing feed each
year and is shipping the speeially fete
teued poultry not only over the United
States' but to Europe as well.
Then there is the egg food that is pre-
pared for the feeding of either dry or
wet mash, and in the last year or two
the dry form of feeding lots -greatly in-
creased the use of the mask feed. In
an up-to-date feed store yon will find
green bone, granulated bone, chareoa!,
grits, oyster shells, blood meal, etc,. Al'
those varinnc feeds add to the 'variety of
one's stock and also sesiet greatly in in-
creasing the profits of one's business.
Once Mr. Poultryman would buy and
carry bonze with him 25 cents worth of
screenings. To -day he orders 100, 500
pounds, or a ton of feed. The dealer
who buys high grade poultry feed at. $40
a ton finds ready sale for his goofs with
a reasonable profit.
A hen will consume enough feed to
sustain life. The surplus will Brod ace
egg to the amount of five times her
weight. The American hen lays 15,000,-
000.000
5,000;000.000 ego annually. It would be next
to. impossible to imagine the amount of
feed consumed and to imagine the year's
output of eggs. When you stop to con-
sider than it would take n men three
years to count the egg:; laid in 1900 you
can come to the conclueiou as a dealer
that here is a business dill has adtane-
