The empty ton)1) (vs. 1-10), 1, First duty of the week -The re- surrection mitered very early on Sun- dey morning, ltiary 11ragdalene--inks re- fers to her first in Luke 8. 2 in such a mummer as to clearly show that she is not the steno as the sinful woman of Luke 7: 36-50, She was. especially de- voted to Christ because of His great mercy in delivering her from seven evil spirits, Luke mentions several women (including Mary Magdalene), who min- istered to Christ of their substance, in a way to suggest that they were Women of "rank, wealth and diameter." Unto the sepulehre-The tomb was cut in the side of a rock like -a cave and was large enough for several to' enter. The stone taken away --A large stone, like a ini11- stone protected the entrance. 2. She runnetih In her excitement she runs to the chief apostles. Peter and John must have been at no great distance from the tomb and apart from the other disciples. The other disciple --John, the authoti, of this gospel, refers to himself as the "disciple whom Jesus loved." We know not )where, etc. -She had no idea of a re- surrection, neither did she think he had been stolen (v. 13). 4, They ran -They were eager and excited. Did outrun Peter -John was y ou.eer and: more ac- tive than Peter. 5. Went he not in --- Probably because of a feeling of awe and reverence. 6. Went into the sepulchre -Pester was'naturally bold and unhesitating. 7. And the napkin, etc. --'Phe orderly ar- rangement of the clothes elearly show- ed that he had not been stolen and that the tomb had not been vacated in haste. 8, He saw, and believed ---'Chat is, John saw and believed. But what did John believe? From v. 9 it seems clear that he believed that ,Jesus had risen from the dead. He speaks only of him- self. saying nothing of Peter's impres- sions. 9. Knew not the scripture- His faith as yet rested only on what he bad seem The scriptures referred to may `rave been Psa, 2. 7; IP, 8-10, which were applied to the resurrection by Paul in Acts 13. 33-35. Compare also Acts 2. 24- 27 where Peter interprets Psa. 16. 10 as referring to the resurreetion. 11. Mary and the angels (vs. 11:13.) 11. Stood without -She was alone as she supposed. Weeping Christ had done much for her, and she bad great love for r Lord. Stooped down --In. order to in a view of the interior of the wondering if she might not still staken. Two angels --Peter and John did the angels. Matthew says there e angel, Meek says a "young while Luke says "two men" It dent that •sometimes one appeared sometimes two. and. they spoke dif- esit things to different persons. In shite -This was an emblem of purity (see Rev. 19.8). 13. Why weepest thou -"Are you quite sure that this empty tomb does not show that you ought to rejoice?" III. Jesus appears to Mary (vs. 14-16.) 14: Turned -.Still weeping she turned away from the angels. 15. Why weep - est thou --He seeks to comfort her in. her great grief. Gardener --And there- fore a sereant of Joseph of Arbnanthae, who• owned the tomb, and who, of course, would be friendly. No other person would be likely to be there at so early an hour. Borne him hence -Think- ing that ,perhaps Joseph had ordered his body taken to some other place, I will take him away She would pee that it was done. Slie would be responsible for Ms removal to a proper place, Love knows no difficulties. 16. Mary -Jesus stirred the affections of~ the weeping wo- man at his side by uttering her own name in tones that thrilled her to the heart and created the new, sublime con- viction that he hacl risen as he had said. -Pul, Com. Let it be remarked that Mary sought Jesus more fervently, n id continued more affectionately attached to hien, than any of the rest; therefore to her first, Jesus is pleased to show himself, and she is made the first herald of the gospel of a risen Saviour, -Clarke. Rabboni-My Mester. "A whole world of emotion and devotion in a word." As Mary uttered the word she must have fallen down at the feet of Jesus, em- bracing them. IV. Jesus commissions Mary (vs. 17, -18.) 17. Touch me not—"Cling not to me.," --Clarke. I am not yet ascended -"Jesus says in effect: Spend no long- er time with me now, I am not going .immediately to heaven, you will have several opportunities of seeing nie again; but go and tell my disciples that I ani, by and hy, to ascend to my Father and God, who is your Father and God also; therefore let there take courage." - Clarke, Go to my brethren -First ser- vants. then disciples, then friends; now after the resurrection, brethren. -J., F. 1& B. This involves in itself eternal in- heritance,-Pul. Com. I ascend -I am clothing myself with nay eternal form; 7( have laid down my life that I might take it again and :use it for the blessed - teas of my • brethren.-Pul, Com. My Father, etc, -Father of Christ by nature and of men by grace.-Westcott, 18. Mary .. told the disciples -"An apps-, tie to the apostles." Mary was the first to see Jesus and the first to proclaim his resurrection. St, 11lark tells us (Chap. 16; 11) that the apostles could not believe what she said. Thoughts. --1. Christ's death establish- ed. This is impnrta.nt, or dosibt will be thrown on the resurrection, (1) The cen- turion assured Pilate of His death (Mark 15, 44, 45), (2) Blood tend water flowed fs•.om Hie side (John 10. 44, 35) --••a, pro -of of death. (8) Nis friends wrap - astonishment of His disciples on the re- surrection morning shows that they knew that ire had died. 2. The proofs of Itis resurrection. They are abund- ant: (1) The resurrection came in ac- cordanee with two clasees of Old Testa- ment prophecy, "one representing Christ as suffering and dying, as Ise. 53, and the other as a trim -pima, everlasting king of a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, es .Ise, 0. 7; Dan. 2, 44, 45; 7, 13, 14; Psa„ 72. 7, which only the re- surrection could reconcile and explain," (2) The testimony of the apostles who had such absolute faith in the fact that they based their preaching and their hope' of eternal life upon it, induced thousands to believe in it, and attested the fact by their death. (3) After His resurrection Christ appeared oto mercy. witnesses -five hundred at one time. (4) Tile works Christ has been doing in the world for nearly two thousand years, the existence of the. Christian Church, and the change in the Sabbath day, are all strong proofs of Ohrist's resurrec- tion. 3. The pay of the resurrection: (1) It revived the hopes of the disciples and brough joy, faith, courage and victory. (2) The fear of death and the grave is removed. (3) It brings the hope of im- mortal life and gives assurance of our own resurrection with spiritual bodies like His glorious body. (4) Christ is alive and is thus able to make He promises good to us. PRACTICAL APPLICATIO1S. "Mary stood .. .. - weeping" (v. 11 John saw the empty tomb and believed and he and Peter went away, but Ma stayed. She who waited last saw Jes "Blessed are they that `wait f Trim" (Isa. 30: I8). Mary's tears w a fulfilment of Jesus' prophecy (Jot 16: 20-22). But had Mary believed, s had not wept. Jesus had said, "Aft three days i will rise again" (Matt. 2 63; Mark 831). "After 1 am risen agai I will go before you into Galilee" (Mat 26: 32). Had she believed hirer, sl would not have looked for him in tl grave, but in (Galilee; she would n have said "they" when it was the Lot (v. 13). Usually the tears we weep f ourselves flow because of unbelief. S are only bidden to weep tears of syn pathy (Rom. 12: 15). Our privilege, is t be glad and rejoice (Cant. 1: 4: Re 10: 7) ; to rejoice evermore J. Thess. 5 ''16) ; to sing (Eph. 5: .19) ; to prais (Heb. 13: 15) ; to rejoice in the Lo (Phil. 4: 4), whether there is anythin else to rejoice in or not (flab. 13; 15 Love alone eau never do this. Love an faith should never go separated. Loy without faith can be mistaken. Iden the twice repeated question, "Wontan why eveepest thou?" (vs. 13, 15). 'rha was really no time nor place for tear .Jesus was not in the grave waiting fo love's feeble arms to bear his body to place of'safety (v. 15), but "standing in the attitude of comfort and blessin (v. 14), Tears obscure our vision. "Touch me not" (v. 17). Formerly he was the Man, going hither and thither, sitting at Simon's, table, satin and drinking with sinners (Luke 15: 2) ; now Ire is the risen Lord. Now we. see the force of "Henceforth know we no man after the flesh; yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henoeferth know we him no more (II. Cor. 5: 16). Mary kept at a distance. This leads me to words dear to me in Iris connection. `Surely I have stilled red quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, my soul is with me like a weaned ehild" (Psa. 13I: 2, It V.) It a dreadful moment for the age on the mother's breast when he has o be weaned for ever! Mary.hatl to be weaned. Has not the Lord to teach us Iso the same lesson, until we also have earned to say, "Thou bast stilled and uieted my soul"? He would wean us, etach us from this emotional life, that is spiritual life may possess us more brmdantly! In the spiritual Life we earn to walk by naked faith, in closest ommunion with God, never turning back o the life of feeling for a moment. Faith atmehes out on the bare word of God; eperatecl forever from the emotional fe, as the water above were separated om those beneath. The creation is a gure of the "new creation." "The love Christ constraineth us" (II. Cor. 5-14; -17). "I ascend unto my Father, and your ather" (v. 17). The word "Father" is e first and last sentence from the lips Jesus .(Luke 2, 49; 23, 46). The place e divine Son won for Himself in the ether's heart He won for us also. All e Son of (.sod. enjoys the eons of God ay claim as their birthright (I. John 17). "Father" is a key word of John. is found there more than sixty.three res and in all the other Gospels .com- ned twenty-four times. We are G,1'e iidren, not on the far-off ground of eation, nor the legal ground of adop- n, but the loving ground of the divine ture imparted to us. There is great mfort in contemplating the fact that d is our Father (James 1, 17; 1. Pet, 3). As a,•Father, God, 1. Loves us (I. Int 3, 1). The Father i= tender with tle children (John 13, 33) and (Thee demand ranch of "little born ones." Provides for us (James 1, 17). 3. othes Us (Luke 12, 28; Ise. 61, 10). 4, ies us (Psa.'103, 13). 5.

Simla, May 25. -An outbreak of chol- era has compelled the Withdrawal of nearly all the white troops with Major- General Wil)cock's first column into the cholera camp. The intense heat and the absence of running water, necessi- tating dependence on the muddy village water tanks, made the danger of cholera epidemic very serious. On approaching; Kliapols Pass yester- day, the pickets of (General Willcoek's force had a desperate four -hours' fight with Mohmand tribesmen, during which the British suffered a loss of ten men killed and 24 wounded.

Lyons, May 25. -.,Antonia Carlos, an Ituiian 30 years old,. was arrested at 6 o'clock this evening, after a chase of over a mile, anti landed in the Wayne County Juit by Sheriff Jerry Collins charged with attempted criminal assault upon Marion Ormsbee, it twelve -year-old gu•f. The girl, with Virginia Martin, a younger gist, were picking flowers on the outskirts of the rural cemetery last evening about '5 o'clock. They passed Carlos near the cenieterje Ile• sneaked up behind the bushes and jumped out at the girls, grabbing the Ormsbee girl till 911 his arms and biting her on both cheeks. The girl's sereaius attracted Sylvanite • N. Bailey. jun., 11i -ho was working in the eencetery, came running up. 'Carlos had the girl in his arms, Bailey bit the itaican with his fist, knocking him down. He jumped up, got away from Bailey and ran down back over the cemetery, crossing the Pilgrimport Road and running •itp the Hocroft FIill, pursued by Bailey. The latter met Walter Schaeffer and the two pursued the Italian, 'chasing him up over the hill, then back toward the Erie Canal. Meanwhile noise of the assault reach- ed the village, and four messages were sent to the police. Officer Barris •hit the trail, and Sheriff• Collins, with his son, started out. Carlos was chased to the Erie Canal, where he attempted to jump in. Schaeffer hit him over the head with a club, and Sheriff Caine took him to jail in a rig. There was a great uproar, half of the town being out.. There were threats of lynching. but Sheriff Collins moved too fast. Carlos was thoroughly played out from his long chase. He is stolid and refuses to say anything. No one about here knows the man. The assaulted girl is prostrate. UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRANTS. 4 Suggested That They Be Sent to Some Undeveloped Country. Loudon, May 25. ---Replying to a. quetiuti by Lord Winterton, who suggested that the Secretary for the ('elonies should advise chari- table agencies to emigrate their undesir- able to some undeveloped country out- side the empire.

Bradstreet's Trade Review, Montreal: The trade situation has shown little change here during the past week, although reports from the west garding the outlook are rather more encouraging. There is still considerable complaint on the score of collections. But many wholesalers say conditions are quite up to expeetations in this regard. Money is exhibiting a slightly easier tendeney, although there is still very little offering in the stock market. Gen- eral industries are fairly busy, Labor treuhles are not unusually prevalent for this time of the year. The bricklayer% are out, demanding fifty cents an hour,. and the strike against wage reduction• is spreading in the cotton mill. Em- ployers declare they have a good stock on hand and are in a good position to, carry on the dispute. Toronto: Business here moves along pretty well as it did a week ago. Con- tinued favorable crop reports from all; pasts of the country are having effect upon trade sentiment, but as yet there has been only a slight increase in the. volume of business. The wholesale trade shows soma slight improvement fit nearly all lines, but conservatism is still the order of the day. Dry goods men re- port the sorting trade as quiet. Summer orders are light and fall orders fair, Cottons were working lower, but on fie omit of the strike they are showing a steadier tendeney. Winnipeg: General business continues, o take confidence from favorable crop• ews. Well authenticated reports say he grain is well above the ground and s showing good condition.
