INTERNATIONAL NATIONAL LESSON NO. V.
JULY 29, 1900.
,Jesus Dines With a Pharisee, -Luke 14: 144.
Jule 10. -
Commentary, -I. The True Idea of
Sabbath Observance (vs. 1-6.) 1. Chief
Pharisees -It had been suggested that
this man may have been a member of
the Sandhedrin .with a country home in
Perea. To eat bread -Our Lord had no
home and, when he was invited to dine,
it was as proper for him to go on the
Sabbath as on any other day. They
were watching him (R. Y.) Were mali-
ciously watching him. -Clarke. Many
thnk that the invitation of the Phari-
see was a treacherous one, and that while
he professed friendship, he had invited.
Jesus to his table for the purpose of find-
ing an opportunity to accuse him.
2. A certain man -This man may have
been brought here by the Pharisee in
order to test Christ and see what he
would do; but it is equally probable
that the man bad entered of his own ac-
cord, in hopes that the Saviour would see
him and heal him. Before him -Before
the company had taken seats at the ta-
ble. Drospy-A disea,e in which the
body or some part of it is filled with
water.
3. Jesus answering spake-Jesus knew
they were deceptive, and he was ready to
meet them. ,He was perfectly fearless.
The lawyers -The teachers of the law
who were present. Is it lawful, etc. -
They are in a dilemma; as lawyers they
ought to know, but if they answered in
the affirmative they would endorse
Christ and his work, while to answer
in the negative would be to show their
lack of love and lay themselves liable
to a charge similar to that given in
chapter xiii. 15. -Abbott. Held their
peace -"Unable to condemn; unwilling
to concede."-Whedon. "But such silence
was our Lord's complete public justifica-
tion. If the contemplated miracle was
unlawful, why did not these great re-
ligious authorities forbid it?" -Farrar.
Took him"Took Bold of him (Duke xx.
20, I. Tim. vi. 12)." -Vincent. Healed
hint -Showing the opinion of Jesus as to
healing on the Sabbath day.
5. Fallen into a pit -Jesus silences
them completely by calling attention to
the fact that they on the Sabbath day
would have mercy on a beast in distress,
and should not he an the Sabbath day
deliver this suffering man? Read Hiatt.
xii. 10-13, Luke xiii. 14-17. 6. Could not
answer him -Silent, but not convinced;
obstinacy and spiritual pride sealed their
minds against the force of his reason-
ing.
II. A parable on humility (vs. 7-11).
7. A parable -The selfish straggle for
precedence as they were taking their
places at the ;table gave Jesus am op-
portunity t6' teach a lesson iii lanirirility.
When he marked -Nothing escapes the
eyes of the Lord. How they chose out -
To take the highest place when it is not
our due is public vanity; to obstinately
refuse it when offered is another in-
stance of the same vile, temnoth private
and concealed. Humility takes as much
care to avoid the ostentation of an af-
fected refusal as the open seeking of a
superior place -Clarks. The chief rooms
-the chief sent -R. \ . The _iter t:•e re-
clined on couches around the table which
formed three sides of a hollow square.
8. Bidden to a Wedding --He
speaks of a "marriage feast" (R. V.)
because the rules of procedure would be
snore carefully insited upon. Sit not
down -The prides that apes humility
violates the spirit of this teaching. There
should be genuine self-abasement. 9. He
that bade -The host who has authority
to decide the matter. With shame -
Sem er or ]atet pride wth leeve a. fall.
10. In the lowest room, -The high
place was templed very briefly; the low-
est place was permaneut." No shame
attaches to the one who takes a ]ow
glace. Go up higher -The way to rise
is to begin low. What Christ command-
ed Ile Ilimself did. He Bumbled Himself
in His birth, in His life and in His death.
Then shalt thou have Worship - "Have
glory." -It. V. have reverence, respect
and honor in the presence of the com-
pany. 11. Whosoever exalteth, etc. -Now
follows the great principle illustrated by
this parable. "Humility is the passport
to promotion in the kingdom of God."
The one who is proud and seeks to be
honored above others, shall be abased, or
humbled, both by God and man.
III..A lesson on our duty to the poor
(vs. 12-14). 12. Call not thy friends -
The second parable is to the host. "It
is a sharp rebuke on account of a fault
which is almost always committed in
the choice of guests." -Lange. Our
Lord certainly does not mean that a
man shall not entertain his friends, but
what IIe inculeetes here is charity to
the poor, and what He condemns is those
entertainments which are given to the
rich, either to flatter them or to procure
a similar return. -Clarke, Nor thy rich
neighbors --He that giveth to the rich
shall surely come to want (Prov. xxii.
16.) Give to thy friends, but let it be to
thy poor friends, not to those who need
thee not.
13. Call the poor -Feasts to the poor
are not forbidden. He that giveth to the
poor lendeth. to the Lord. "What the
Saviour here commends to others He has
Himself fulfilled iih the most illustrious
manner-, To the feast in the. kingdom of
of God he has invited the poor, the blind,
etc., in the spiritual sense of the words."
. 14. Shall be blessed ---The poor who
have been fed will bless thee, and so
will the Lord. You will be consciohs of
having acted unselfishly, Resurrection
of the just; -There is to be a. future
state, we are all hastening on toward
the resurrection. At the time God will
reward those who have done good, for
His sake, without the hope of any earth-
ly recompense.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
The heart of this los•..nn is the crown -
Ing grace, humility. We see Jesus eitY�
ting in the Parisee•s house and teaching
this important truth.
I. Humility' commended -- "Sit not
down in the highest room.. sit down in
the lowest room" (vs. 8, 10). "Humble
yourself therefore under the mighty
hand of God" (1 Pet. v. 0), The command
is clear: humble yourself. Take every
opportunity of humbling yourself before
God and man.
II. Humility commended. "Friend, go
up higher" (v. -0), "I:le that imnitbleth
himself shall be exalted" (v. 11). It is
said Haat when Senator Bruce, the col-
ored statesman, the representative from
Mississippi, was about •to proceed. to.
Washington to take hie iplaee in the Sen-
ate, the captain of a Mississippi steam-
boat geoid that if Mr. Bruce travelled by
his boat, and put on any airs, there
would be trouble. Senator :Bence did
travel by that boat, and the first oppor-
tunity went to the captain, and said,
"Captain, I air going a part of my , our-
ney on your steamboat, and I want my
trip to be as agreeable to you as, it can
be; therefore, if , you will assign ins
that place on the boat where any people
usually are located. and give me a peace
at the table where the colored people get
their meals, I shall be much obliged. to
you." "Wilier he said that," said the
captain, "and as modestly and politely
as ever a man spoke to me in my life,
I looked at him for amoment, and then
seized him by the arum, and said: 'Come
with he; there is nothing on my boat
too good for you, sir; kancli I insist that
you shall sit with nee at my own table
at meal hours.'"
III. Humility complete. "When thou
rnalest a dinner or a supper, call not
thy friends,. ..nor thy rich neighbors...
call the poor, tihe maimed, the lame, the
blind" (vs. 12, 13). He who fulfils this
injunction is learning the lesson of cote -
plebe humility. What a revolution would
come to society if Christ's rules of eti-
quette were followed, and the commanrls
of Him who snake as never man spaite,
were obeyed by His own. "Whosoever
he be of yea that forsoketh not all that
he hath, he cannot be my disciple?' (v.
33). Count the cost, then, not of your
next .party to which you propose to in-
vite the rich, great, popular and influen-
tial in the Church and world, but count
the cost of becoming a real disciple of
'Christ; count the cost of being with
Christ against a frowning world; comet
the cost of becoming a fool with. Christ
and for His sake;; count the cost gf
breaking with biose who can reconnpense
you in this world.
IV. Humility croiwned, "Shalt be bless-
ed...shalt,be recompensed" (v. 14). The
first beatitude promises the kingdom of
heaven to the poor in spirit, and the
third beatitude declares that the meek
shall inherit the earth (Matt. v. 3, 5).
When Jesus comes, God's best in heaven
and on earbh shall be given to those who
have followed the Lamb, the meek and
lonely Jesus.
DROWNED HERSELF.
Left a Note Telling Where Her Body
Would Be Found.
"You will . find my body in the
lake. I have drowned myself.
"Mrs. Jennie Brohan,
"59 front avenue."
Buffalo despatch: The foregoing note,
pinned to a hat found on the bridle
path bridge yesterday afternoon by Pat-
rolman Kirst of the Delaware Park
squad, started a search which ended in
the finding of Mrs. Brohan's lifeless body
at the bottom of Park Lake early in the
evening.
Mrs. Brohan was a widow, 51 years
old, and made her home with her
nephew, James Logan, at 59 Front ave-
nue. She was a. member of the Nicholas
Kos party that left this city last March
to settle in Los Angeles. She returned
within a short time because the cli-
mate, instead of benefiting her, was in-
jurious to her health.
Mr. Logan at times noticed that his
aunt suffered from melancholia and a
doctor attended her. Yesterday fore-
noon
orenoon she left home on the pretense of
visiting friends. She said she would not
be home for lunch.
The body was sent to the morgue at
the order of Medical Examiner How-
land.
NOT AN ANARCHIST.
AUGUST ROSENBERG NOT SEEKING
LIFE OF KAISER,
Seattle, Wash., July 16. -Investiga-
tions made by the German Society of
this city show, the society claims, that
August Rosenberg, a former resident of
Seattle, now under arrest in Germany
on suspicion of being an Anarchist with
designs on the life of Emperor 'William,
was a plain, every -day raining man. ft
has also been shown that the chemicals
found fn his former residence, which were
supposed to have been used in the manu-
facture of bombs, were such as those
used by assayers. The charge that he
presided at an .Anarchist meeting, when
Herr Moat delivered an address has also.
been disproved.
The anonymous letter on which he was
arrested in Germany is supposed to have
been written by a relative, with whom he
had trouble.
TOM DID IT.
VAUDEVILLE ACTRESS ACCUSES
HUSBAND OF ASSAULT.
New York, July 10. -Hattie Shanley,
a vaudeville actress, was taken hi a
hospital in a critical condition to -day
as the result of an attack alleged to
have been made upon her by her hus
band, Thomas Shanley, at their home
in Harlem. When found' the woman eras
unconscious, but revived • sufficiermly at
the hospital later to say that "Torn dol
it." No more could be learned from her.
When the police arrested the young
woman's hurbaed he would say nothing
about the affair.
THE TRIP
OF TSE ®E'r', EY.
Was Skilfully Worked Through the
Suez Canal.
Pappa, the Aged Pilot, Stuck to His
Post.
The United States May Cve Him a
Reward.
Washington, July 16. -While it was
predicted by some that the dry dock
Dewey would never be able to pass
through portions of the Suez Canal,
which are only slightly wider than the
groat dock, the aged head pilot of the
Banal, A. Pappa, knew differently, ,and
it was his skill and caution which made
it possible for the Dewey to get
through the tortuous waterway in such
a satisfactory manner, according to a
report of the trip just made to the Navy
Department, by Commander H. IL Hos-
ley, who was in charge of the Dewey
and the fleet which conveyed it.
Although Pappa is ver j' old and was
so i11 that he should not have attempted
the work, he assumed full charge of the
Dewey's canal trip. Worn out by the
careful watching necessary to save the
dock from disaster, the old pian was
under medical attention during two of
the nights the Dewey was in the canal.
He was cared for in the quarters of the
general manager of the eanal and reso-
lutely resumed his work and directed the
tugs which were towing the Dewey by
means of a system of flag signals,
which proved effective.
For many years all ships bearing
crowned heads, members of royal fam-
ilies, or other distinguished persons,have
been piloted through the;, canal by the
venerable head pilot whose service had
been so indispensable to the _company
M.that his proposed retirement and return
to Greece, his native land, are regarded
by the eanal officials with extreme re-
gret. A short time ago the steamer Chat-
ham, loaded with dynamfge, was sunk
in the canal and offered a dangerous
obstruction to navigation. Pappa was
the only employee of the ,canal com-
pany. regarded as being capable of steer-
ing vessels around the hidden danger,
and he worked constantly day and night
until the explosives could he removed.
Many European dignitaities have show-
ered Pappa with letters? gifts, thank-
ing him for the care and 2E11 With which
he has taken them through the Suez.
Commander Bosley sent the old pilot
a letter of appreciation and in his re-
port to the Navy Department, the
American officer suggests that some sui-
table trophy be given to Pappa by the
American navy in recognition of his un-
usual service for the Dewey.
BOY'S BODY FOUND.
,THOUGHT HE HAD BEEN STOLEN,
BUT WAS DROWNED.
Guilford, Conn., July 1G. -The body of
little Clayton Bishop, the six-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bishop, who
was believed to have been kidnapped,
was found to -day wedged in among the
timbers of an old wreck in West River.
The boy had been missing since Sunday
moaning, when he left his home to visit
his grandmother in a distant part of
the town. It is thnnght he fell into the
river from Jones' bridge ,a mile above
where the body was found. Rewards of
$400 for information that would lead
to the recovery of the missing lad had
been offered, as it was thought that he
had been stolen. .
TO SAVE HUSBAND.
SHE SWEARS RESHOT HER FATHER
IN SELF DEFENCE.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., July I6, -The ef-
forts of the fifteen -year-old wife of
Joseph Withe, of Hazleton, charged
with the murder of her father, to ware
his release, failed at the hearing ti-dav,
and he was sent to jail to await trip].
The young wife declares that her father
shot her, and that her husband in self-
defence to save her life shot ani kilted
her fattier. The victim was Raphael
1llarsicino, a prominent resident of 'envoi
Hazleton. Witnesses testified that Withe
deliberately shot the old roan, and be-
lieve that one of the bullets fired by
Withe struck his wife, '
MOTOR BOATS Al` VENICE,
•
Replacing Gondoliers Now for Excursions
to Islands.
Venice, July 16. --Motor boats bia fair
to supplant gondolas for the longer ex-
cursions to the islands around Venice,
such as Murano, Burano, Torcello and
others, Every day one sees them tak-
ing, travellers from the Rialto.
Another feature of Venice which
seems likely to die out is the music
boats, which stop in front of the hotels
while glee singers serenade the visit-
ors. These musical gondolas can no
longer float along the C4retnd Canal ow-
ing to the danger of collision :with ape -
anger steamboats. The gond;olisr has
indeed fallen upon evil days,

Bradstreet's Trade Review,
Montreal: The actual movement of
wholesale trade here continues a little
quiet in most lines, although the warm
weather has given a much better tone
to the movement of retail trade
throughout the country. Light dry
good;, are moving well and there is a
good business in all departments of the
fall trade. In this connection the out-
look is very hopeful, and the excellent
conditions of the crops bliroughou all
parts of Canada are encouraging mer-
chant, to preparse for a good business.
While it is true that the goods of last
winter and the spring were Mow in
moving owing to the unseasonable wea-
ther, results have not been very disas-
trous, except in the eases of a eompara-
tivsly few small businesses and general
conditions throughout the counry leak
so prosperous that expectations favor
great activity in all lines for the balance
of the year.
Toronto:l Wholesale trade here is show-
ing a good movement fur this time of the
year. Summer dry goods lines are MON'
big better, and the fall trade promises
to be one of the heaviest in years. 'the
is an exceedingly heavy demand being
shown for light dress suitings, Cottons,
linens and woollens hold very firm with
stocks in some lines light. Groceries are
fairly active. Sngars�are firm in tone,,
as also canned goods. Stocke of peas,
corn and tomatoes are light. .Salmon
is firm and growing scarce. The demand
for building materials and general hard-
ware is as active as ever. Country trade
is showing a fairly good tone.
Winnipeg: There is a good tone to
trade in all departments. iVeather con-
ditions during the Past week have
greatly favored the growing crops, and
the Wheat harvest still promises to be a
record. Summer dry goods aro active
anti there has been a big increase in fall
orders. 'Groceries are moving well ann.
general hardware is meeting with a big
movement. Country trade at all points
the coast continues active.
Vancouver and Victoria: Trade along
is satisfeactory and collections are fair
to good.
riamiltont All lines of trade 'continue
to move well. The demand for season-
able wholesale lines is mo'cteretely active
and the outlook for fall trade is very
satisfactory, Collections are fair to
good..
Ottawa: There jell fairly good move-
ment to Ioeal trade here, while the move-
ment in wholesale dry goods is moderate.
The •demand for hardware is active.

Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives when
once the disease is fastened upon her.
We -believe Lydia E. Pinkbam's Vegetable
getable•
Compound is the most efficient treatment
for chronic kidney troubles of women,
and is the only medicine especially
prepared for this purpose..
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding. urination, swelling of
limbs or feet, swelling under the eyes,
an uneasy, tired feeling in the region of
the kidneys or notices a sediment in the
Brine, she should lose no time in com-
mencing treatment with Lydia E. I'ink-
h In's Vegetable Compound, as it may
be the means of raving her life.
For proof, read what Lydia E. Pink -
hair's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs.
Sawyer.
'' I cannot express the terrible suffering I
had to endure. A derangement of the female
organs developed nervous prostration and a
serious kidney trouble. • The doctor attended
me for a year, but ]. kept getting worse, until
was unable to do envtinng and 1 made up
my mind I could not live. ]? finally decided
to try- Lydia E. Pinkhum's Vegetable Com-
pound as a last resort, and I air to -day a welt
woman. I cannotpraise it too highly, and I
ell every suffering woman about my case."

BOMBS FOR CZAR.
SEVERAL FOUND IN THE GARDEN
OF THE PETERHOF PALACE.
New York, July e5. -According to a
St. Petersburg despatch to the World
jaherc was wild consternation at the
IImperial Palace at Peterhof yesterday,
following the dig -every in the garden of
that palace of several bombs filled with
dynamite.
The excitement and dread were inde-
scribable. It was obvious that the bombe
must have been placed there by some
one connected with the palace, either as
officer, guard or servant, and every One
equally was under suspicion. Gen.
Trepoff, the commandant, immediately
put in motion ali the machinery of his
office to discover the culprit, but thus
far without result.
In the meantime the person of the
Czar and his family are being more rig-
idly guah+ded than ever, if increase of
precaution is possible.

GUATEMALA IN TROUBLE THROUGH
HER REVOLUTIONISTS.
Mexico City, lfex„ July 10.-
Salvador-ian advices report the growing strength
of the revolutionists in Guatemala. It is
reported in Salvador that the relations
of Guatemala with neighboring countries
are now strained almost to the breaking
point. The revolutionists re determined
to renew their campaign.
