Commentary. -I. An a -et of necessity
performed on the Sabbath (vs. 1-8). I.
At that time -It crust have been in
early summer during the harvest season.
Throng'', the corn To an American
reader the word corn suggests the idea
of Indian corn or maize; but the word

as *heat, rye or barley. Began to pluck
They rubbed it in their hands (Luke
vi. 1) to separate the grain from the
chaff. This was allowable' according to
the law (Dent. xxiii. 9,5). 2, Pharistees
saw it -The, Pharisees, who were watch-
ing for an opportunity to catch flim,
object to the die:: iples doing this on
the Sabbath day. They considered the
plucking and rubbing in the 'hand suffi-
erently near to reaping and threshing to
oonstitute them secondary violations of
the fourth Commandment. Not lawful
-The Pharisees extended their Sabbath
regulations beyond what Moses com-
manded in order to avoid the possibility
of transgression. "The worthless child-
ishileys of the Sabbath rules ,Christ op-
posed may ,be judged from its being for-
bidden to go out with a needle or a pen
when Friday was. closing, as one might
forget to lay them aside before the Sab-
bath b'egane Thirty-nine classes of work
were forbidden, and ,each of these heel
endless sub-divisions."--Geikie. These
regulations tended to snake void the
law, and many of them were in direct
opposition to the real design of the Sab-
bath. 3. Have ye not read -To vindi-
cate His disciples Christ refereed the
Pharisees to a similar case recorded in
their own Scriptures, and with which
they should: Have been familiar. See I.
Sam. xxi. 1-6. An hungered ---Our Lord
]sere is not arguing for an excuse to
break the law, .but for its true construc-
tion. The here formality of a ritual or
strict letter of a, positive precept is to
yield to the demands of the general
good. The necessities of the disciples

4. The house of God• -•-Tice tabernacle.
Did eat-Ahimelech, the priest at Nob,
gave David and . his companions five
loaves of the shewbread. The law pro-
vided that twelve loaves of bread should
be put in two piles upon the table in the
sanctuary, to remain a, week, and then
to be eaten by the priests only (Lev.
xxiv. 5-9.) how David, fleeing from
Saul, weary and hungry, had eaten this
bread contrary to the letter of the law.
Christ's argument was that if David
could do this without blame is must be
right for the disciples to satisfy their
hunger on the Sabbath day. Shewbread
"Literally, bread of setting forth, that
, bread that was set forth in the sane=
tuary. Tt Was also called `continual
bread' as being set forth perpetually be-
fore the Lord, hence the Hebrew name,
'bread of the presence: Twelve loaves
or cakes were placed in two piles on the
'pure table' every Sabbath. (in each pile
was put a golden cup of frankincense.
See Exod. xxv. 30; Lev. xsit-. 6-8 "-Cam.
Bib. Profane the Sabbath -Jesus con-
tinued his argument by showing that
even the law under certain conditions
provided for the doing of that which had
been expressly forbidden in the law. On
the Sabbath days as well as on other
days the priests were engaged in killing,
prep ring and burning the sacrifices and
In performing the whole temple service.
"It was one of the sayings of the rabbins
that there was no Sabbath keeping in
the temple. Thus, if all work on the
Sabbath profaned the Sabbath, as the
Pharisees maintained, the priests were
guilty of continual profanation."-- v1Ori-
son. Blameless -Not merely does the
sacred history relate exceptional in-
stauees of nese'sits', but the law itself
ordains labor on the Sabbath as a. duty.
-Stier. This labor on the part of the
priests was essential to the proper ob-
servance of the Sabbath by the congrega-
tion.
4. fir eater than the temple Inasmuch
as the one who buildacl the house is
greater than the house. Christ refers
here to His own authority and. power.
The law -giver is greater than the law.
"Christ was greater than the temple
because, 1. The temple exists but for
Sing. 2. It is but a place of nsscmbly
where men play meet with Ilini. 3.
However splendid, it is nothing except
So be there. 4. However lowly the
presence of the rent King makes of in
ss heavenly palace." -Grey. 7. If we
had known -A knowledge of the trite
meaning of God's: word will prevent rash
judgment. Jesus here charges Itis critics'
with ignorance of their own prophets,
Mercy, and not sacrifice -,See L Sam. xv.
22; Berra. vi. 6. "I desire n erey. 7 re-
quire mercy rather than sacrifice. It is
n protest by the prophet. against the un-
loving, insincere formalist of his day.
There is something more binding than
the law, and that is the principle which
underlies the law. The low rightly un-
derstood is the expression of Gorl's love
to man. Thhnt love allowed the act, of
David and the labor of the priests. and
shall it not permit Christ's disciples• to
satisfy their leun"ur?'---Carr. It is tu,

Because God will have us merciful. 2.

gion. 3. Because herein we imitate our

Legislator of the world. After the resur-
rection of Christ the Jewish Sabbath
was abolished, and ''the Lord's day"
(Rev. i. 10), or Christian Sabbath, w9:3
given us in its stead. That Sunday is
the "Lard's day" as clear from early
Christian history; that it is the weekly
holy day of the Christian dispensation is
clear, because this day is alone men-
tioned as a sacred day after the resu'r-
rectioal.--W'he+Ien. "The change of the
Jewish into the Christian Sabbath shows
that Cihrist is not only the Lord of the
Sabbath, but that he is also the; truth
and completion of it; for it seems to
have been by an ,especial Providence
that this ehanne lies been acknowledged

fell. le. A man better than a sheep -
Christ always puts an enormous value
on man. .. roan is of infinitely more con-
sequence and value than a brute. I.f they
would show an act of kindness to a
sheep, would they not show mercy to a
man? "Thus they are taken on their own
ground and confuter] on their own max-
ims and e..nnduct. The truth implied in
Christ's question is pre-eminently scrip-
tural and Christian. It is not diseov-
'ery, but a revelation." "Notice a series
of points in respect. of which a man is
better than a sheep: 1. In his physical
form and. beauty. 2. He is endowed with
reason. 3. He is endowed with a moral
nature. 4. in Iris capacity for progress.
5. In his spiritual nature and his len-
mortality."-Hone. Com, It is lawful --
This was universally allowed by the
Jews themselves.
13. Stretch fertile- A remarkable com-
mand. The man Wright have reasoned
that his hand was withered and that he
could. not obey, but being commanded it
was his duty to crake the effort; he did
so and was healed. "Faith disregards ap-
parent impossibilities where there is a
command and promise of God." Restored
w]rol'e--A little before this Christ had
claimed divine authority; he now proves
that he possesses it. These two eases
determine what may be done on the
Sabbath. The one was a ease of neces-
sity, the other of mercy. The example
of the Saviour and his explanations show
that these are a part of the proper dut-
ies of that holy day. Beyond this men
should not go. They may as well tram-
ple down any other law of the Bible as
that respecting the Sabbath. Let us ail.

There is an animal in Australia

the body and four legs of a quadruped,
and the habits of a fish. It lzves

Bileans for Biliousness, the great
household remedy, was first produced -
UP to the discovery of Bileans, practi-
cally all liver and stomach disorders
contained mercury, bismuth and other
mineral poisons. These harmful in-
gredients, if taken for long, have such
serious effects as loosening the teeth,
causing the hair to fall out or become
prematurely gray, etc. Bileans, on the
contrary, are purely vegetable. They
contain no trace of any mineral
poison, and are thus not only more
powerful as a cure, but are more safe
in their use. They cure stomach and
liver disorders without introducing

BRADSTREET'S ON TRADE.
Montreal ---The general condition of
trade Isere continues unchanged. Dry -
gods men report a fairly good business
moving in all lines of light goods and
prospects of a big Western trade for the
coming season are bright. There is a
fair demand for hardware and metals
despite the foot that business has been
unusually heavy all through the winter
Prices are generally steady to firm.
There is a butter tone to the movement
in staple 1i11e9 of groceries. Sugars are
firm. Collections have been showing
improvement during the past week and
obligations falling due on the 5th last,
were, it is now seen, fairly well met.
Toronto -General business conditions
here continue to reflect a cheerful out-
look for the future. The movement
of spring lines of wholesale goods is
heavy and retail trade is generally •1et-
ive. Trade throughout the country is
brisker, Up to the present orders have
been fair to good in the drygoods trade,
and in millinery they have been unusual-
ly heavy. The Western demand for
goods too is heavy. Cottons and wools
continue firm and advances are report-
ed in the price of rubber footwear.
throughout the province the outlook
favors a season of tremendous activity
in the building trades and orders to the
hardware dealers are correspondingly
heavy. General lines also are moving
well. There has been some improve -
ment in the movement in groceries.
Winnipeg-1usiness in wholesale dry -
goods is very aetive. The millineryopen-
legs showed unprecedented expansion in
trade in that direction. The grocery trade
is active Staple lines of groceries are
moving more freely. Coffee, rice and
sugar are firm.
Victoria and Vancouver -Business con-
tinues good in all lines. Industries here
and at interior points are busily engaged
and there is a resultant good demand
for all wholesale lines. Spring and sum-
mer trade is opening out well and heavy
ahipmenits are going forward.

Not only are Bileans superior by
virtue of their vegetable nature, but,
being the product of modern scientific
research, Bileans are thoroughly up-
to-date. They do not merely purge,
giving temporary relief only, and leav-
ing the patient weakened, like the
out-of-date so-called remedies of forty
or fifty years ago, which, as already
stated, contain probably aloes, mer-
cury, and other harmful drugs. Bileans,
without the slightest discomfort prompt
the liver and digestive organs to net in
nature's normal way, leaving those or-
gans strengthened and stimulated to eon-
tinue the performance of their duties
without further assistance. They pro-
duce a gentle action of the bowels, cur-
ing or preventing constipation, cleans-
ing the stomach and ridding the system
of all impurities..
Bileans for Biliousness are also a
certain cure for headache, constipation,
piles, liver trouble, indigestion and all
digestive trouble, indigestion and all di-
gestive disorders, female ailments, skin
eruptions, biliousness, sick headaclre,bad
taste in the mouth, foul breath, dizzi-
ness, fainting, buzzing noises in the
head, feeling of uncomfortable fulness
even after a light ureal, wind pains,
anaemia, debility, etc. They also aet ss
a general tonic, and by improving the
tone of the whole system enable it to
thrown off colds, chills, rheumatism,
etc. They improve the general cireula-
tion, and aro a boon to pale -faced girls
and weak women. For all purposeso to
which a household remedy is put Means
will be found of excellent •service.
Bileans are obtainable from all drug-
gists and stores, at fifty cents per box,
or direct from the Bilean Co., Colborntn
st., Toronto, upon receipt of price.
