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 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, Market Reports -ap- The Week. T4tonto Farmers' Market.

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.

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. LEVER THIEF. BOGUS HEALTH OFFICER ROBS WO - WAN OF $4o.
