Eternal lif The divine life implanted in the soul the Holy Spirit. It begins in this but will endure forever. 18. What c est thou me good -Christ did not that he was not good., or was not G If the young man called Christ "goo the question Jesus asked would lead redly to his divinity. Why do you me good? Do you see me merely a man, or are you looking at m as Messiah/ Do you recognize me as a vine teacher, whose teaching is eterna true, and are you willing thtis to ace any instruction? None good but one -G is the only one who is absolutely eternally good; but Christ, is God a therefore Christ is "good," in this a lute and unlimited sense. 19. The commandments. -According Matthew Jesus said, "If thou wilt en into life, keep the commandments." T young man asked Jesus which special great commandment he referred to. Jes replied by enumerating the comma meets in this verse. He referred only the second table of the law, which relat to. the duties of man to man. 20. Have I observed -He was strict moral and had lived a good life ou wardly. He then asked (Matt. xix. 2 'what he lacked yet. He was conscio of a lack in his spiritual life, and th question was a serious inquiry as to cause. 21. Jesus loved him The �Savio was drawn toward him. He saw in th young man great possibilities.

The characte of the treasure will be in harmony with the character of heaven. 3. The ootaan ing of this treasure is conditional •u.pon the course we pursue in this world. Take ftp the cross -Be ready to take the re- proaeh that will naturally cone as a re- sult of taking this course. His friends would call him a. fool, and perhaps op- pose :him bitterly. Follow me -Be my disciple. 22. Went away grieved -Ha countenance fell and he went away sor- rowful. He 'went away reluctantly, but he event.

Who then can be saved ?-All men by nature share the same guilt and love of the world, How may a rich man enter heaven? L It is always difficult, 2. It is impossible if in mind and heart he cleaves to his wealth, 3. It becomes Possible by a miracle of divine gram - Lange, Many who have not riches are seeking wealth as the chief good, because they already trust in it, -Schaff. - 27. With men it is impossible -Accord- ing to the power and ability of men this is impossible, but God, by his power, is table to save a man that even the things that allured hien most will lose their attraction to him, "Christ can remove the diffieulties and renew the heart," III. Rewards of following Christ (vs, 28-31). 28. Have left. all -Their boats and nets and fish and father were every- thing ot them. They might, indeed, look for a reward; for it had been promised. ]3ut this temper is wrong, so far as it puts forth claims for our good deeds, as though we deserved the rewards at Christ's hands. What pay does a maxi deserve for giving up a. copper. or pepper corn for a palace? -Jacobus. Tate little that a poor man has is as much his all as are the millions of the rich man. 29. That hath left, house, etc. In the days of Jesus those who followed him were obliged, generally, to forsake house and home, and to attend Ixim. In our time it is not often required that we should literally leave them; but it is always required that we love them less than we do him, that we give up all that is con- sistent with religion, and that we be ready to give up all when he demands it,. -Barnes. Or wife -Omitted, and rightly so, in the revised version. For my sake -Leaving all must not spring from a desire for reward, but from devotion to Christ. And the gospel's -While Jesus distinguishes between himself and the gospel, yet he implies that he and the gospel are inseparable. The gospel is the "good news" concerning Jesus. "Without. him the gospel would be nothing; with- out the gospel men would know nothing of him" -Morison. 30. An hundredfold -There are few greater promises than this. "This is symbolical, and expresses an immeasur- able advantage." -Lange. Houses, eta - Not literally a hundred houses, etc., but he obtains a hundredfold more of joy and satisfaction than he loses. "What was a barren rock now becomes a gold mine." With persecutions -That is, he must expect persecutions in this world. Eternal life -Which will infinitely more than make up for all Christian's trials here. "Here are ages enjoyment that no arithmetic can compute; oceans of plea- sure, whose majestic billows rise from the depths of infinitude, and break on no shore! -David Thomas. 31. First shall at last -The lesson intended to be taught here is that those who occupy important positions and who appear to be first in labor and wisdom rere may in the next 'world he forced to give place to others who have been of less renown here. God does -not measure men as we do. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. Eternal life is. God-given to man, and t inhabited by anything that man can do (Rom. vi. 23.) "Master, all these have I observed from my youth" (v, 20.) Jer- I II. Jesus' statement concerning riches (vs. 23-27). 23. How hardly, etc. -That is, they shall enter with great difficulty. ¶this is amply confirmed by experience. Rich men seldom become true Christians.. "It is difficult, 1. Because they feel they have so much to give up. 2. Because of the tendency to trust in riches, 3. Be- cause riches are apt .to engender paste that will not stoop to the bumble service of God. 4. Decease rich men are apt to be allied in .business and. socially with many who are not Christians, and it re- quires great courage and faith to ,break away. 5. Because in many cases they will have to restore ilegotten riches, to change their business or methods of busx- ness, and sources. of gain, which are not truly ¶Christian. 6, ]3eeaiise it is espe- cially difficult to invite them, to reaeh thenal with the gospel inessage,"--e1'eiou- bet, Kingdom of God -Kingdon of grace and glory. 24. Trust in riches -Here is the dan- ger, the place where many a. rich m:u: will lose his soul. "Notice, I. Riches can- not drive away anxiety. 2. They cannot purchase contentment. 3. They cannot buy friends. 4. They cannot lure sleep. 5. Theyeairnot buy appreeiation. Let an illiterate man inherit vast wealth., arta with it a valuable library. The boobs swill -be no more to him than their value in dollars and: cents•. 6. They cannot bring back a lost opportunity. 25. The eye of a needle -It has been suggested , that the needle's eye was a small gate, leading into the city, intendea only ter foot passengers, and that the camel could only squeeze through with the greatest difficulty, but "it is now generally thought that the calling this small gate the needle's eye is a modern oustm. o anal not, in ,use iii the time of Christ" The proverb used by -Christ was common in his day, and expressed not the difficulty, but the impossibility of entering the kingdom of heaven, while to keart Was trusting in riches or the things of this world. 26.

Pian is to Raise Sufficient MoneytePro vide Him With an Annual Income of $x,soo--A. Wreck, Incapable o1' Physical Exertion, New York, Aug, l3, -The' World says: It is probable that on or before Sep- tember 21: one oi the Russell Sage lega- tees, who is satisfied with the bequest of $25,000, will call upon each of the other nephews and nieces to contribute to a purse of $10,000 to be presented to William H. Laidlaw, the "human shield," who saved Mr. Sage's life fifteen years ago. The heir, whose identity has not been revealed, suggested that a round robin be addressed to Mrs. Sage asking that sufficiexit part of the estate. to yield a yearly income of $],500 be set aside for Laidlat;'s: benefit. That would mean n.: principal of $30,000 invested at five per cent. It is believed Mrs. Sage always bas hall strong sympathy for the man who was indirectly the means of adding fifteen years to her husband's life. In the event of refusal by Mrs, Sage, which is regarded as remote, the twenty-five heirs will be asked to con- tribute $400 each to make up a fund of $10,000. Laidlaw is a wreck, incapable of physical exertion; without assistance. He rives with his two sisters in a little flat at Ninety-second street and Broadway. In clear weather lie is able to walk, leaning on the arm of a friend, to the drug store corner, at, Nineteenth street, where he meets a few old friends, and chats with them for an hour, and then is assisted back tc his home. Ile has a hundred .and seventy-four scars in his back - evidence of that many wounds received by him when the crank Norcross dropped the bomb with which he intended to kill Russell Sage. Seventy of these wounds affected super- ficial muscles between the neck and the hips. A TERRIBLE DEATH. DRAGGED UP AND DOWN ALONG SWITCHBACK, Accident Happened in Full View of Thousands of PIeasure-Seekers at Fort George -Victim a Young Lady of Nineteen, New York, Aug. 13, -In full view of thousands of pleasure -seekers at Vert George to -day, a young woman was jolted out of a ear on a lofty switch- back railroad and her dress eitenieg on the back of the ear she' was dragged to death up and down the steep inclines of the track. The victim, WAS ;: Niss Katherine Rosebrotb,'. 10 years of ago, of this . city. In the car, following sev- eral women fainted and others became Ihysterical ,and with great difficulty were restrained from jumping from the ear, Miss Rosebroth evidently was killed almost instantly. Her skull was crush- ed and almost every bone in her body was broken. The proprietor of the switchback was arrested, ome says the man lied," But lie may have meant to be honest The crucial: test in his life is the crucial test in the life of every one who seeks God's best. In the words of Christ we have, L Divine poverty. "Sell whatsoever thou hast" (v. 21.) Andrew Murray says, "To the rich young ruler poverty was but ,the path to perfection. The disciple is not above his Master, but every one who is perfected shall be as his Master. Poverty was part of that mysterious discipline of self-denial and suffering through which it became God to perfect the Master. While he was on earth poverty 'was to be the mark of all those who would be always with their master and wholy like their master. Ac- cording to the diversity of gifis and cir- cumstances, and calling, the same spirit may be seen in apparently conflicting paths of life. There is a perfection which is sougth in the right possession and use of earthly goods as the Master's stew- ard; there xs also a perfection which seeks even in external things to be as. the Master Himself was, and in 'poverty to bear witness to the reality and siffi- i ciency of .heavenly things." III. Divine promises. "Thou shalt ,have treasure in heaven" (v. 21). "One may exeliange earthly for heavenly riches. He may transmute the eemiporaxy and perishable geodes of this world into :im- perishable treasure" It is said that a gentleman went into the office of a. mer- chant and, seeing an unusual brightness in his face, said: "What are you un to? Had some good news?" "No, only think- ing of a little investment." "I trhoi so; a good one, 1'11 .be bound" "I± think so; what would you say about one thou- sand per cent?" "You are raving;' "Not a bit of it, and the very best security, a royal pledge." "Now I know you are crazy." ""Not a. bit of it; this," wheel- ing around in his chair and, laying has hand on a paper, "is a cheque for a eeor missionary that is sick and in need. 'i'he Scripture says 'He that hath .pity on the poor lendeth to the Lord' (Psa.xvii. 19), but I never wakened eo the fact of what interest he pays until yesterday, when our preacher startled me by saying ;h•e had promised ten thousand percent. 'And every one that bath left hooses or ;breth- ren, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundred -fold and inherit eter- nal life.' This text was in any mind when enyoucame me in. Not that I t caro lay claim to the self-sacrifice the text dndi- cates., but my .gift to the ,poor is a, loan to the Lord., and shall reap a good diva - dead, because the Lord has guaranteed it." •`-•► , giri is often willing to be sparked in a flame who shines xi to her UNDER LOOT SUN.
