Tile Good Samar itan 10: 25. -Luke --
87.
Commentary, -I. How to gab eternal
life (vs. 25-28). 25. A certain lawyer -
A scribe; a ,professional interpreter of
the law of Moses. Usually a. noted scribe
; was a. teacher and had a company of
disciples about him. Stood up- Jesus
must have been in some !building, dis-
coursing on some 'subject that suggested
the question asked by the lawyer.
Tewpted him -Or tested him. The ques-
tion was not asked from any :desire to
know his own duty, but for the purpose
of testing the knowledge of Jesus. "He
laid a theological trap, but the hoped-for
prey walked through it and left him in
it." -Maclaren. Master -Or teacher, the
same as rabbi. To inherit eternal life -
The question is highly important. "Eter-
nal life is the true .spiritual life of the
soul -that which is natural to it in its
highest state, and of all things in this
world is most worthy the seeking," His
question was, How can I become a child
of God and a possessor of that true
spiritual life that will endure forever?
26. What is written -As a teacher of
the law he should be able to tell, and he
was able, as his answer shows. How
readest thou -What we gain from the
Bible depends upon "how" we read it.
27. He answering said -He replied by
quoting the great summary of man's
duty toward God in Deut. vi. 5, and a
statement of the law of love from Lev.
six, 18. -Cook. The lawyer proceeds to
give a correct answer, one which Jesus
approved. Thou shalt love -The religion
of the Bible does not consist of good ex-
ternal sats , in prayers, in our zeal for
Christ, in performing the deeds of the
law, or in being made happy, but in love
to God and man. "By this love the soul
eagerly cleaves to, affectionately ad-
mires, and constantly reets in God,
supremely pleased and satisfied with
him; it acts from him, as its author; for
him, as its master, and to him, as its
end; by it the whole man is willingly
surrendered to the Most High, and is
made a partaker of the divine nature."
Our love to God should be: 1. Supreme.
2. Constant. 3. Actice. "'Our duty to
God forbids: 1. Idolatry. 2. Rendering
obedience to any creature in opposition
to the will of the Creator. 3. Yielding
obedience to our own will or desires in
opposition to bis will. 4. Loving any-
thing which he has forbidden. 5. Loving
what he has allowed us to love in a
manner and to a degree that he hasforbidden."- Wayland. All thy heart -
This is supreme affection to God. The
heart is the seat of the affections, de-
sires, motives and will,. "It is the centre
of all physical and spiritual life, the
central focus from which all the rays
of the moral life go forth." With all
thy soul -He loves God with all his soul,
or, rather, with all bis life, who is ready
to give up life for his sake -to endure
and suffer rather than dishonor God. -
Clarke. Soul is the individual !exist-
ence, the person himself.-Oremer's Lex.
All thy strength -To the extent of giv-
ing all of our physical powers in his
service. All .thy mind -The intellect
belongs to God. This embraces the whole
Aman. A person who thus loves God will
be wholly and unreservedly given to God
and will be satisfied with him. He will
admire and obey God. There will be
no looking to this vain world for delight
and happiness, for all our joy will be
in him. Thy neighbor ns thyself -"This
love is the principle in the heart from
which flows the golden rule (Matt. vii.
12) in practice, and the perfect keeping
of all the commandments which refer to
our duties to our fellow nen." If we
measure up to this commandment: 1.
We shall not hate our neighbor. 2. We
shall recognize his rights. 3. Protect his
interests. 4. Actually love him. We
are even required to love our enemies.
"We must do everything in our power,
through all the possible varieties of cir-
cumstances, for our neighbors, which we
would wish them- to do for us, were our
situations reversed" Love to our neigh-
bor should be especially directed to the
good of} his soul.
28. This clo, and thou shalt live -
Shalt. have already eternal life, the ]ifs
of heaven; for this heart of love is eter-
nal life. It is the life of saints and an-
gels in paradise. It makes heaven what
it is.-Peloubet. Any one who can and
does love God and his neighbor thus has
already begun to live, has an earnest of
eternal life. "Under this law the lave
depends upon the 'do."
II. Our duty to mankind illustrated
(vs. 29-37). 20. Desiring to juetifyhim-
self(R. V.) -The conscience of this
learned lawyer was touened and he saw
,that he sass destitute of the love he had
just declared to be necessary in order
to inherit eternal life. Who is my
neighbor -"The degree in which he had
kept the law of love, would depend on
the answer to this question" How wide
a circle does "neighbor" embr.ece ? "Un-
winds that word neighbor and it meas-
ures off the whole of our earthly life,
It covers all our practical, every -day du-
ties. But to the Jewish mind 'neighbor'
was simply `Jett." -Burton. The Sae
maritans and Gentiles were excluded.
"My neighbor is every one who, in the
travellers. It is still necessary to have
an eseort in passing over that road. -
Billie. The distance was about sixteen
or eighteen miles, "The road was so no-
torious for robberies and murders that a
portion of it was called "the red or
bloody way,' and was protected by a
fort and a Roman garrlso s,"-Vineeut,
Jericho was 800. fet below the Mediter-
ranean Sea. Jerusalem 2,500 above it,
snaking a descent of 3,300 feet between
the two cities.
31. Certain priest -"Jericho was one
of the residences of the priests who came
upto the temple of Jerusalem in turn to
offer the daily sacrifices, burro incense,
and perform the temple ceremonials.
Compare the work of Zacharias, the fath-
er of John the Baptist (Luke i. 9). There
were twenty-four courses, each course
officiating a week at a time, so that
there were frequent journeys of priests
and Levites between Jericho and Jeru-
salem. Professor Van Doren says that
twelve thousand priests and Levites re-
sided at Jericho." -Ellicott. He saw
him -And knew that a fellow man was
suffering and in need. On the other
sine -He no doubt could frame many ex•
cues for not stopping. It was a lonely
place and robbers might attack him. To
stop and help the mon would require
courage that he did not have. 32. Like-
wise a Levite--A Levite was one of the
tribe of Levi; a priest was of the fam-
ily of .Aaron in that tribe. The Levites
performed the humble services of the
temple, as cleaning, carrying fuel, and
acting as choristers. The scribes and
lawyers were frequently of this tribe,
which, in fact, was set apart by Moses
as the intellectual body in the nation.-
Whedon, Passed by -Hips conduct was
the same as the priest's had been. These
two men would naturally be expected
to befriend the man. Being in the line
of .religious work does not necessarily
make a man religious.
33. A certain Samaritan -The Sam-
aritans were a half -heathen people,
greatly despised and bated by the Jews.
Had compassion -Although they had no
right to expect any help from a Samar-
itan yet he hastened to assist the suf-
fering man.
34. Bound up his wounds -He did the
very best he eould for the man with the
remedies he had at hand. On his own
beast -This all .took time and effort,
but he did not hesitate nor make eve
cuses. Real love does not ask how lit-
tle, but how much it may do. To an inn
-This was a public house where all
comers were received. 35. On the mor-
row -He evidently remained with him
that night. Two pence --A penny or Ro-
man denarius is worth about sixteen
cents, but it would be equivalent to eight
or ten times as much in our day.
36. Which..thinkest thou -This ques-
tion almost compelled the lawyer to
speak highly of the Samaritan. Was
neighbor unto him -The parable implies
not a mere enlargement of Jewish id.ee.s
but a complete change of them. It is
truly a gospel -parable, for the whole
old relationship of mere duty is changed
into one of love. The question now is
not, Who is my neighbor? but, 'Whose
neighbor am I? The gospel answers the
gennecen of duty by ipointini us to
love. Wouldest thou know who is thy
neighbor Become a neighbor to all by
the utmost service thou cnnst do them in
their need, became Neighbor to us, even
at the cost of all he had.-Edersheinr.
37. Do thou likewise-" He to whom you.
ought thus to show mercy in order to
become his neighbor is your neighbor."
We should be ready to help every per-
son who needs our assistance. The com-
mand is imperative, "Go, and do thou
likewise." We should "go" whereever a
human soul is to be found and, with
hearts filled with love, carry the gos-
pel of Christ.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
We should obey Christ's command to
"love one another as I loved you," John
xv. 12. The old love of law said "Thou
hou
shalt love -thy neighbor as thyself" (v.
27.) But Jesus gave a new low of love
distinct from and far above the Old
Testament law. " A new commandment
I give unto you, that ye love,' one an-
other; as I have loved you" (John xiii.
34). "Walk in love, as Christ also hath
loved us, and hath given Himself for us."
Eph. v. 2.
I. Love is prompt. He "went to him"
(v. 34.) The man's life was slipping
away. There was need for haste. "He
gives' twice who gives quickly." "Delay
clogs the whels of great philanthropic)
organizations." Many a sufferer has
died waiting for the action of a board
or a committee of investigation.
II. Love is pitimul. "He had compas-
sion on him.' '(v. 33). "Every sufferer
is our neighbor. Misery makes the whole
world kin." The man was naked, batter-
ed, bruised, bleeding, loathsome, but the
sight did not awaken aversion, but pity.
Th sight of our sin awakens sympathy
in the heart of our Saviour. It should
be so With us.
III. Love is practical. "And went to
him" (v. 34). Love watches for oppor-
tunities. Ilhe priest and the Levite pass-
ed by. They missed their .opportunity.
IV. Love es ipainebaking, "And bound
up his wound, poi.mhig in oil and wine"
(v. 34). Anna. Smith went one evening
up through a long, unlighted hallway
and rapped at the door of a little dark
room, where she found a weary woman
caring for her sick iiars'band, wibo lay
groaning with pain. He raised his head
acrd said gruffly, "I don't want any pray -
in' or readies' the Bible around here. I
don't believe in any thing o' that sort."
"Very well," she said, "I shall not pray
here if yon don't want me to." Sive
providence of God, is brought into such turned to the sobbing woman and asked
connection with me, that I can affect
Trim in some way for good." --lion. Coni.
30. Jesus answering said -Here it was
that Christ could, in a parable show
how far Judaism was from even a true
understanding, much more from such
perfect observance of the law, as would
gain heaven,-lsder'slreim. From Jerusa-
lem to Jericho -It was a very danger-
ous road, lying much of the way in a
deep ravine through soft rocks in which
eaves a.boivaded, affording shelter to mis-
creants ~Vito sallied; forth to prey upon
what she could do for her, and as she
told her needs, food, money, clothing,
she jotted them dorn on a bit .of papery
then stepped over to the bed, and asked
him if there was anything that he would
relish. When he had told her, he adders,
"It's good of you to come." She hurried
away, and soon returned,, bringing food,
clothing and medicine. The wife cried
for joy, and the husband said, "We
wouldn't have had any slapper, if you
linden come." She pressed some money
auto the poor womains hand, and, .prom -
)sing to came again in a few slap, stili- ANO SLRO R 'o n,..rn..,.,,.o-"""u"'••••'•`•_"•11Y••°'• •'

saitd, almost gently, "have yougot your
Bible?" "Yes, I liana'. "I wish you'd
read the etory of the Good Samaritan,"
ch:e sat down, and by the pale, flickering
light of their old lamp reed the story,
When she raised her ;eyes, 'the wife was
sobbing in. one corner of the room, and
the man said, "I've seen plenty of priests
and lots .of Levites, but I never saw a
•Good: Samaritan before." ,She told him
that were et not for •Cheret's indwelling
in her heart, there wound he no concern
whether they were in need or not. Mr.
B- said, "I hope you don't mind the
way I spoke to you, but. I've been sick so
long that I've donlbted everything. in
fact, when you found me I was an infi
del,, but if there's anything in this Chris
tiaras life you talk about, I twarit it. You
may pray for an•e ail you wish." She
pointed him to Cihrist and carne away
rejoicing. The man's bitterness and pre-
judice gave way to the gentleness and
faith of Jesus,
WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC,
Police of Paterson, N. 3'., Make an Im-
portant Arrest.
Paterson, N. J., July 2. -The police
arrested here last night on a charge of
importing girls from Italy for immoral
purposes, Antonio Sorianello, for whom
they claim to have been searching
more than a year, ant who they say IP
wanted by the authorities of New haven,
Bridgeport, New York, :Middletown and
several other cities. The police charge
that Sorianello has a series of houses
scattered through the Eastern States.
His arrest followed the discovery by the
police of a young woman on the street
in a pitiable condition.
At the house where the arrest occurred
another young woman was found, and
both were held as witnesses against the
man. The girl found on the street bore
evidence of having been beaten severely.
She declared she had escaped from the
house by dropping out of a window. In
her room the police say they found a
loaded cane to which a few long hairs
yet adhere, a poker with blood stains
near the end and a heavy stove lifter,
all of which the girl declares were used
in the assault upon her because her
week's earnings had not satisfied the
man.
Sorianello is held without bail on five
charges. Two are for assault, oue for
keeping a disorderly house, and two for
importing girls for immoral purposes.

It adds: Tor years and with increas-
ing power, these men have grappled the
food consumers of the city. Poultry,
eggs, game, meat of all kinds, vegetables
-the staples of life and the luxuries -
have been bought by these men or stot$d
by them at the lowest prices, and later
foisted upon the public at fabulous prices
as fresh and wholesome goods.
There are tales of cold storage houses
in the city that have kept consignments
of fowls for twelve years and more,
waiting for the right price before the
frostkilled food was doled toa mistaken
public. Tales are told of chickens that
turned black when placed in God's pure
air, of fish that dropped to pieces and of
meat that when taken from the ice and
placed in the open, shriveled as the
corpses taken frees the North Street
Cemetery.

CANADA NOT A PRISON.
Boy Thief in England Will Serve His
Sentence There,
London, July 1. -In the Criminal
Court, oatmeal pleaded for leniency for
a boy charged with theft, promising
that his friende would send him to
Canada. The Reporter said he could not

sent there. The boy was sentenced to
six months' imprisonment.
KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
CUMBERLAND, N. S., VISITED BY A
SEVERE STORM.
The Orange Hall Struck and Wrecked,
and Ezra Stack, Standing in the
Doorway, Receives Fatal Shock -
Two or Three Buildings Burned.
A Halifax, N. S., despatch: A -severe
electrical storm passed over Cumberland
last evening, causing one death and de-
stroying several buildings at Springhill.
The Orange Hall was struck by ligntning
and Ezra Stack, a miner, who was stand-
ing in a doorway for shelter, was in-
stantly killed. and John Fraser, who was
standing beside him, was stunned by the
shock, but not seriously hurt. The build-
ing is wrecked, but did not catch fire.
Stack was thirty years old, married, and
leaves a wife and two children. One
house was struck and the bricks knocked
from a chimney. In Oxford a barn be-
longing to Wm. Thompson was struck
and destroyed. At the head of Amherst
a house belonging to Mrs. Benson Smith
was set on fire, and extinguished with
difficulty. 11any telephones were burned
out.
SUICIDE EPIDEMIC.
London and Madrid Report Large In-
creases Due to the Heat.
London, July 1. -The hot weather
is producing the usual increase in the
number of suicides. It is found that
the men who do away with themselves
generally resort to hanging to effect
their purpose, while the woman
drown themselves. A specialist ex-
plains that the tendency to commit
self -murder is due to relaxation of the
blood vessels and reduction of the
blood pressure which heat naturally
causes. The cerebral centres are there-
by depressed, affecting the will power.
This produces merely laziness in nor-
mal persons, but in the weak-minded
anaemia of the brain, tending to self-
destniction.
Madrid, .lune 25. -The intense heat
is causing an epidemic of insanity and
suicide throughout Spain, besides in-
numerable sunstrokes. a hundred
cases of which were treated in a sin-
gle hospital in Madrid to -day. The
temperature here to -day was 104 in the
shade.
STARVED TO DEATH.
REPORT THAT LUNATIC DIED OF
HUNGER IN JAIL.
A Toronto, Ont., despatch says:
The Provincial Secretary's Department
is awaiting the result of the eoroner's
inquest into the death of Chas. Myers. a
lunatic, whicah took place in Chatham
jail on Sunday night, before taking
steps for an official investigation, which
will no doubt follow. Myer, it iso claim-
ed, was starved to death.
KILLED BY AN ANARCHIST,
Chaplain of an Italian Priest Stabbed to
Death.
Rome, July 2, -The chaplain of
Prince Dorsa, an octogenarian priest,
was stabbed and killed by an Anarchist
named Desantys while he was driving
to the Dorsa villa to say mase at 10
o'clock this morning.
Desantys is probably insane, although
he boasts that he is an Anarchist. His
motive is inconceivable. He hardly
knew the chaplain. His father is em-
ployed by Prince Dories

cattle, 404 hogs, 613 sheep and lambs and 114
calves.
The quality of fat cattle was much the
same as has been coming for several weeks,
with this difference, that grassers are be-
coming more and more plentiful.
Trade was the best of the season, with
,prices higher all round in every class.
Exporters -prices of those sold reached $5.20
per cwt. Had there been better cattle, bet-
ter prices would doubtless have been real-
ized. Bulls are worth from $3.75 to $4.36 per
cwt.
Butchers -Loads of good cattle sold read-
ily at $4.75 to $4.90 per cwt.; medium at $4.40
to $4.60; stall -fed cows, $3.75 to $4.25; grass
cows at $2.50 to 03,50 per cwt. Should there
be a heavy run on Thursday, look out for
a drop in grass cattle.

1,04 Los. at $4 to $4.n0; good steers, 800 to
1,00 lbs. at $8.90 to 24.1o; light stockers, $3.3a

Bradstreet's on Trade.
Montreal: Wholesale trade here con-
tinues quiet in nearly all lines. Really
waren weather is wanted to help the
movement in summer lines of dry goods.
Retailers are well supplied, but as yet
the consumptive demand has been light.
Fingering yarns and rubber goods are
advancing. Fall trade is promising well
and some good orders are coming in. The
demand for groceries is fair. Sugar ad-
vanced 10c. per ]00 lbs. during the week
and stocks of canned goody are light with
prices firth. The hardware trade has
taken on a rather quieter tone, but thede
is still a heavy demand for most general
lines and building materials. General
country trade has a better tone.
Toronto: While wholesale trade here
continues quiet in tone there is a fairly
good movement in reasonable lines. The
retail trade for slimmer dry goods bas
been affected by unseasonable weather,
and the wholesale dry goods trade is
confined to a light sorting movement.
Grocers repent a normal demand for
staples and there is no loss of activity' in
the hardware trade. Collections are gen-
erally good.
!Winnipeg: All lines of trade continue
active here. There is a good demand
for wholesale goods and seasonable lines
are meeting with a good retail move-
ment. The hardware trade is particular-
ly brisk and clry goods houses report a
good run of orders for the fall trade.
Reports from the comitry continue to
speak of a bright outlook for the crops
despite the heavy rains of the past week.
Victoria and. Vancouver: There hae
been no change in trade conditions along
the coast divine the past sveek. The de-
mands for wholesale goods continue so
heavy that in some lines dealers say they
find difficulty in handling the goods.
Hamilton: 'i'i']roleselers report the
sorting trade itt seasonable goods as be-
ing rather more active. Collections are
generally good. Country trade is show-
ing a good tone and the general outlook
for fall business is bright.,
�;ondon: The movement of retail
