DISC. 16, !i►off
Josue Risen Prom the Dead. -Matt. 28: 1-18.
Commentary, -I. The women at the
tomb (v. 1,) 1, :End of the Sabbath -
After the Jewish Sabbath was past. It
closed on Saturday night at sundown.
To dawn. -The women probably left
their homes at different times. John
says, "When it was yet dark" cometh
Mary. Mark says they came at the "ris-
ing of the sun." First day of the week -
Christ was in the tomb pant of Friday,
all day Saturday and part of Sunday,
which was called three days .according to
Jewish reckoning. He arose very early
in the morning on the first day of the
week. Jesus lay in the grave on Satur-
day which signified that henceforth the
Jewish Sabbath, like all other Jewish in-
stitutions, was dead. The first day; of
the week -the resurrection day, which
was palled by John the Lord's day, has
always been observed by Christians as
the Christian Sabbath. The first day
of the week was the first day of a new
dispensation, which was in every respect
better and grander than the old. Mary
Magdalene -She was a native of Mag -
dela, a town on the Sea of Galilee, and
was foremost among the honorable wo-
men who ministered unto Christ and
His disciples, being especially, devoted
to Christ for His mercy in casting out
from her seven evil spirits (Luke viii.
2, 3). There is no evidence that she was
ever a bad character. The other Mary
-This was Mary the mother of James
the Less and Joses (Mark xv. 47); the
same as Mary of Cleophas, asister of
the mother of Christ (John xix. 25). To
the women named here Mark adds Sal-
ome and Luke adds Joanna and other
women. Note the devotion of these wo-
men. They came not expecting the re-
- surrection, but bringing spices to em-
balm Christ. Sepulchre -The tomb was
cut in the side of a rock, like a cave,
large enough for several persons to en-
ter. The entrance was protected by a
stone. sometimes round like a large
millstone, rolled in front of the opening,
which was, at least three or four feet
in height 'and two or three in breadth.
II. The opened sepulchre (v. 2.) 2.
Earthquake -The earthquake and the re-
surrection took place previously to the
arrival of the women. There was also
an earthquake at the time of Christ's
death (Matt. xxvii, 51.) "Both were
given for the same purpose, namely, to
snanifet to the `senses' of men the
mighty operations that were going on be-
yond, the reach of 'sens•e.' "-Wheaden.
Angel or the Lord -Luke says. "two men,"
John says 'two angels," while Mark
agreeing with Matthew as to the num-
ber speaks of him as a "young man"
These evangelists evidently speak only
angels seen is explained byLesoing: "The
supposed discrepancies in the number of
angels seen i explained by Lessing: "The
whole grave, the whole region about the
grave was invisibly swarming with an-
gels. There were not onl ytwo angels
but many of them. Sometimes one ap-
pears and sometimes another, at differ-
ent places and speaking different things"
Rolled back -"Not that Jesus could not
have burst the barrier, but the ministry
of angels was necessary to give form to
the transaction to human conception."

still seated when the women approached.

pented. As dead men -"It is very prob-
able that the splendor of a glorified body
is always sufficient to overwhelm the
senses and prostrate the strength of a
living mortal." See Dan. viii. 27; Per. i.
27. 5. Said unto the women -The angel
who sat upon the stone had entered the
tomb as the women drew near, and then
the women entered also, and the words
of the angel were spoken to them on the
, inside (Jdarlc xvi. 5; Luke xxiv. 3.) All
apparently entered, but Mary Magdalene
finding the sepulchre empty, hastened
away to tell Peter .and John that Jesus
was not there (John xx. 1, 2.) Fear not

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
1. The Marys. "Mary Magdalene an
the other Mary came" (v. 1), Jesus ha
died. There was no doubt of that. Th
soldiers thrust the spear into his si
and. there issued blood and water (Jol
xix. 34). The Roman centurion assure
Pilate that Jesus was dead (Mark xv.
44, 45). The chief priests knew it (Mat
xxvii. 63). Joseph of Arimathea a
Nicodemus lovingly wrapped him in frag-
rant linen and buried him (John xix. 40
The tomb was a new one, where nev
before had man lain,. so there was n
doubt of the identity of the body o
Jesus (Luke xxiv. 53). At .Plate's bid
ding the Pharisees made the sepulchr
secure, sealing the stone and setting
watch (Matt. xxvii. 66). When the great
stone was rolled to the door of the sepul
ehre the men went away, but the Mary^
seemed to have lingered (Mark xv. 47
Luke xxiii. 55, 56.

°I Halifax, N. S., Dec. %:-""elenry Clarke,
A whose party was rescued in a tarnishing
condition by Peary's--own expedition, is
e improving in health rapidly since coming
a south. He says that not only had they
used up their harness straps for food,

perience of any that went out.

strengthened him in the garden of
agony. They were never absent from
his hour of need except when he bore
our sins upon the tree.
5. Progress. "He goeth before you..
there shall ye see him" (v. 7). 'Jesus
had often told his disciples of the fu-
ture and his life was always suggest-
ing his death, but they had not under-
stood. They had read superficially the
victories of his life, being so occupied
with their to -day, that his suggestions
of to -morrow fell unheeded. Now all is
over, they turn instinctively to lavish
their affections upon hint in his grave.
Many disciples are like this, They rest
in a past experience, lavish time and af-
fection on its preservation and fail to
go on and walk in newness of life."
III. The meeting. 1. Obedience re-
warded. "They departed quickly" (v. 7).
"Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and
worketh righteousness (Ira. 64: 5). Ev-
erything in the Christian life hinges up-
on obedience. Our ability to trust cor-
responds with our willingness to obey
(1 John, 3: 22). 2. Love encouraged.
"They came and held him by the fent
and worshipper) him" (v. 0). Christ's
first manifestations of himself were in
accordance with the great principles he
had taught. Love was revealed to love.
3. Faith strengthened. "Then said
Jesus unto 'them" (v. 10). The words of
Jesus are the warrant of our faith. His
first words after his resurrection are
significant. They were (1) words of
courage. ' "Be not afraid" (v. 10). An
evangelist, preaching in a dangerous
part of a wicked city, was suddenly
startled by a great excitement in . the
street. A crowd had gathered about
the house and were shoutine in the Itt!-
ian language, "Death to the Leretie," He
knew that the cry meant butchery. Hu-
manly speaking there was no deliver-
ance. Thcr'e was not even a spot in
which to hide. His feeling was one of
abject terror. As he tried to crowd
himself into the little box which served
as a pulpit, his little Bible fell open
and his eyes rested upon the words, "It
is I, be not afraid" As suddenly as the
fear had come it departed. He rosea
calm and fearless. Just then two men
entered a narrow side door with drawn
daggers. He supposed they had come
to end his life, but one of them said
"Don't be afraid, we are friends, fol-
low us," and they led him out through
the crowd which opened to let them
pass.

Caused by Female Disorders and
Cured by Lydia E. Pinkharn's
Vegetable Compound.
A great many women suffer with a
form of indigestion or dyspepsia sia which
does not seem to yield to ordinary treat-
ment. While the symptosis seem to be
similar to those of ordinary indigestion
yet the medicines universally prescribed
do not seem to restore the patient's
normal condition.
Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
derangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturbance
similar to ordinary indigestion, cannot
be relieved without a nneaicine which
not only acts as a stomach tonic, but has
a peculiar tonic effect on the female
organism.
As proof of this theory we call at-
tention to the case of Mrs. Henry
Beaubien, ,58 Sparks St., Ottawa, Ont.,
who was completely cured by Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after
everything else had failed. •She writes

GIRLS EN FRI NG
WOMANNO
Will Filed Bileans a Boon --A
Word of Advice to Mothers.
The development of a girl at the
time when she is just emerging from
girlhood and passing into the fuller life!
-of womanhood, should be carefully
watched by all mothers.
Very often a girl complains that her
clothes weigh her down. She becomes
weak, has a feeling of weight at the
stomach after meals, suffers from fre-
quent headaches, arid is often• restless
and miserable. All these symptoms
mean that her vitality has reached a
low ebb, that some natural tonic is
required to re -tone the system and in-
crease her vigor and energy. This can
only be done by enriching and purify-
ing the blood and the surest method
of doing this is by undergoing a course
of Bileans.
Mrs. F. Butterfield, of Mexbor4,
writes: "My daughter, Jane Hannaly
seemed to be losing all her strep
and all her good spirits. She became
weakly, pale and despondent, instead
of the bright, energetic girl, full of life
and vivacity she. had always been. 1
had proved how good Bileans were
when I was out of sorts, so I gave Ler
a few doses. The result was wonder-
ful. They seemed to tone her tip and
give her back her life and energy in
a few days! She is now in exeel.ant
health, although at a very eritieal age,
and I have Means alone to think."
Thousands of inethers tell a similar
0 story of praise. Don't forget, too, that
