Aman had evidently been a leper and ea,ea,ierobably been cured by Jesus. " Th

tions." It is. a"good work" to show
our love and esteem for Christ.
11. Poor always with you -This eat of
Mary's will not interfere with your care
for the poor. You can do good to them
10• at any time. The more we do far Christ
is the more we shall do for the spoor. 1t
li, is not the want of money, but the want
se of love that allows the poor to stiffer..
u_ The more we give for Christ on any
h, line, the more love we shall hays and the
es more we shall continue to give, "It is
ell the successors of •Mary, and not of Ju -
at das, who really .care for the poor." Me
le not always --Christ's bodily pres-
is once was about to be removed from
d thein. What they would do fdr hint,
is must be done quickly.
12. On my body -'On his head and on
his feet. She did it to prepare me for
s; burial (R. V.) -Whether Mary under -
d stood, Christ's aproaching death, and in-
„ tended it so, we cannot tell, but Jesus
v_ puts this construction upon it and cor-
m firms thereby what the had so ;Frequent-
ts ly told them regarding it. She was em -
n0 balming him in advance of time. Too
often our words of esteem, are not sit -
is tared until the time sof the'b•urial, while
the discouraged soul has been. obliged
to plod on through life without so much
r as a "God bless you" from anyone. 'One
r` writer says: "If my friends have ala-
e baster boxes full of the perfume of symi-
e pathy and affection laid away, which
they intend to break over my body, I
s
would rather they would bring there out
e in my weary and troubled hours, that 1
may' be cheered while I need them"
13. This gospel shall be preached -An-
a other remarkable proof of the prescience
s of Christ. God has so disposed mattersguthat this has continued as firm and re-
s
lar as the ordinances of heaven -Clarke.
For a memorial of her -`A memorial is
n
something designed to keep in •remem-
as brans, a person, an event, or anything
regarded as worthy of peculiar honor or
t record." This act of love performed by
e Mary to her Lord :brings her before the
c entire Christian world. "'.Che memorial
of this; woman was to be preserved, not
by dedieating a church to her, or keep-
ing an annual feast to her honor. or
- preserving a piece of her broken box as
- a sacred relic, but by mentioning her
faith and piety in prea]icina the gospel."

e, day is to help others; those in prison
and distress should have our earnest at-
• tention (Matt. xxv. 31-4G.)
IV. Judas seeks to betray Jesus (vs.
14-16) .
14. Judas Iscariot -Judas is rightly re-
. garded as an infamous pian, his conduct
base and his motives vile; yet how many
to -day bargain away their Lord for the
honors and pleasures of this world! Un-
7. A woman -John tells us that th
woman was Mary. Alabaster box -Th
perfume was in an alabaster bottle, o
flask, which was made with a long, na
row neck. Mark says "she brake th
box," or the neck of the flask. Th
seal which kept the perfume from evap
orating had never been removed; it wa
first opened at this time. Very prec
ions ointment -By the ointment we ar
to understand rather a liquid pm tem
than what we commonly know as oint
went. -Schaff. John says Mary took "
pound of ointment of spikenard." Thi
was a Roman pound of twelve ounce
and was worth 300 pence, or denari.i, sil
ver coins worth fifteen to seventee
cents each; hence the ointment wa
worth between forty-five and fifty dol
lata. This would be equivalent to abou
eight or ten times that amount at th
present time. Spikenard is an annealplant, now found in the Himalayan re
gion. This ointment was imported from
Arabia and India. "Compare the atta
of roses, made at Ghezipoor in Hindu
stan, and which requires 400,000 full
grown roses to produce one ounce, and
which sells when pure, in the Englisl
warehouses, as high as $100 an oune
or $1,200 for as much as Mary's poen(i
of spikenard." -American Cyclopedia
Poured it on his head -John says she
anointed the feet of Jesus. "There is
manifestly neither contradiction nor di
vergence here between the exangelists
Mary poured the ointment over his head
and then over his feet. John notices the
anointing of the feet, not only of deep-
est veneration, but from its unusual
character, while anointing of the head
was not so uncommon. She who had
so often sat at his feet, now anoints
them, and alike for love, reverence and
fellowship of his sufferings, will not wipe
them but wiht her hair."-Edersheim.
The anointing showed (1) her faith in
Christ; (2) her love for Christ. The
house was filled with the odor of the
ointment, and to -day the church and, the
world are filled with heavenly fragrance
whenever loving deeds are performed for
Christ. Sat at meat -In taking their
meals the Eastern people reclined on one
side, the knees being bent and the feet
turned outward behind.
H. Mary's act: criticized (vs. 8, 0.) S.
When his disciples sew it -John tells" us
that Judas was the leader in criticizing
Mary, and he urged his opposition until
some of the disciples assented to his
ideas. But he was a hypocrite and Jesus
rebuked him, "So often a bad man, and
working from selfish motives, by plaus-
ible arguments gets good nren to unite
with hint in opposing things that are
really good. The wolf puts on the
sheep's clothing. Thus ostially the oppo-
sition to good wears a mask of virtue;
religion is roposed in the name of lib-
erty, faith in the name of free thought;
prohibition, in the name of temperance."
To what purpose --There is no benefit in
such a lavish expenditure. Mark says
they murmured against the woman, and
their words and manner were also a re-
flection en Christ himself, because lie
had permitted it to occur. "Whenever
there is an act of splendid self -forgetful-
ness there is always a Judas to sneer
and murmur at it;" This waste -Judas
complained that the ointment was wast-
ed because the nroner wee not put in
the treasury where he could steal it. The
other disciples were evidently sincere,
"but had too narror or distorted a vision
as to what were real values." "Note that,
the apostles do not hesitate to record
even those actions which are discredit-
able too themselves, They hide nothing.
'And this is one mark of the divine au-
thorship of the gospels. Men would net-
urally have concealed the faults of their
saints and ]zeroes `for the good of the
cause 'es the artist painted Alexander
the Great's portrait with a finger over
the sear on his face"
9. Given to the poor -"How roften does
charity serve es a cloak for covetousness.
God is sometimes robbed of his right, un-
der the pretense of devoting what is
withheld to some charitable purpose, to
which there was no intention ever to
give it." -"This was the kind of demon-
stration reserved for princes or persons
of great distinetion; it was a luxury
that even no emperor till Nero even in-
dulged in." It is not surprising that the
disciples, who were plain and poor, soheltie
think this an undue extravagance; but
Yesus desired to impress upon them the
fact, that there is nothing too precious
for him.
11I. Jesus defends Mary (ve 10-13).
10. Jesus perceiving it (R. V.) ---Jesus
understood their murmurings. Why
trouble ye this woman -According to
John's a.cootuit, .Jesus said, "Let her
alone." "It was the dangttage of sharp
tt'ebulce. Jesus was indignant at the
lryapocrisy of Jeeas and the dull pereep-
tions of the others." It seems evident
that Judas and tise others had made
emir complaints to Mary, and that she

trouble between children and their

that the mother has some female weak-

for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine -
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-

well. In dry goods the sorting trade
has been auiet owing to continued warn,.
