Sunday School Lesson for Feb. 18th.
Lesson Title—Jesus and Zacchae-
eQ.
Leeson Passage—Luke 19 : 1-10.
Golden Text—Luke 19 : 1D.
The scene presented in this lesson
is one of simplicity and beauty com-
bined; but, as in every feature in
life, there is a fly in the ointment;
so mingling with the graciousness of
Jesus and the joy of Zacchaeus is
the vindictiveness of the onlookers.
Verse 1.
"And Jesus entered and passc'1
through Jericho."
In the 6th chapter of Joshua we
read of the destruction of the city
of Jericho and how Joshua said:
, "Cursed be the man before the Lard
that riseth up and buildeth this city
, Jericho." It was rebuilt, however,
1 in the reign of Ahab that king of Is-
raci who did more to provoke the
Lord God of Israel to anger than all
the kings of Israel that went before
. him. (1 Kings 16, 34).
i Jericho had been lavishly dealt
with by nature. Her climate, being
tropical, there was an abundance of
Delft., spices and perfumes. Her
palm trees rivalled those of Egypt.;
but she put her trust in her strong
walls instead of in the strength of
the Almighty. But a day came when
Jesus entered and passed through
her streets, thus honoring, with His
presence, even a city that had a
curse resting upon it.
Verse 2
And, behold, there was a man
named Zaechaeus, which was the
chief among the publicans, and he
was rich." In many instances the
lives of great characters are merely
touched upon in the Scriptures, while
here we have a whole paragh•aph de-
voted to a man described as "the
chief among publicans; that other
publicans were officers under hire.
Jesus came to seek and to save sin•
ners and therefore the chief of pub-
licans would not be exempted from
His notice.
Verse 3.
"And he sought to see Jesus who
he was; and could not for the press,
because he was little of stature."
Zacchaeus is described by three
words --chief, rich, little. At this
time he had but one purpose in his
mind -}'he sought to see Jesus."
And that same determination that
made him chief and rich spurred him
on' here. Jesus' fame had gone a-
broad, and naturally there was a
great curiosity in his day as in ours
to come lite the presence of noted
men and be able to say "We have
seen such and such a man." Zac-
chaeus then being prompted by cur-
iosity looked about him, and realiz-
ing his limitations, for he was small
of stature, he sought out a way of
attaining his object. He would not
disappoint his curiosity so he put a-
side his dignity and ran and climbed.
A ridiculous figure the influential
Zacchaeus running and climbing in
order that he might secure a place of
vantage in the crowd. It never oc-
curred to him that by taking up such
a position he was making himself an
outstanding figure. He sought to
see Jesus, the man, and he saw Jesus,
the Saviour.
Verse 5,
"And when Jesus came to the place
He looked up and saw him and said
unto him, "Zacchaeus make haste,
and come 'down; for to -day I must
abide at thy house." Jesus looked,
saw and said. It is quite possible
to look without seeing; and equally
possible to look and see without say.
ing. Possibly the crowd looked and
saw only something to laugh at; and,
if they spoke, it would be in jest.
Jesus looked and his seeing wasof
an altogether different nature, as
indicated by his words: "Zacchaeus,
make haste, and come down; or to-
day I must abide at thy hou e." He
addressed him by name indica ing the
ominscience of the Son of Go€le.How
startled Zacchaens would be when he
felt the eye of Jesus upon him; and
how filled with amazement when he
heard his name spoken by this
stranger. How did he act? Did lie
try to hide behind a branch or drop
down to be lost in the crowd? Nol
he made haste, and name down, and
received him joyfully (verse 6). He,
the despised publican, an outcast from
society, was singled out from among
this whole multitude to entertain
Jeans in his home.
Versa 7 --."And when they saw it,
they all murmured, saying, "That he
was gone to be guest with a man
that is a sinner." Some were offend-
ed. Christ's conduct was always
being watched by the Jews; and they
vlrere quick to blame when he took
special notice of those whom they ig-
nored or despised. They made them-
selves judges both of Jesus and of
. those whom He herd.
Verse 8—"And Zacchaeus stood,
and said unto the Lord: "Behold,
Lord, the half of my goods 1 give to
the poor, and if I have taken any-
tbing from any man by false accu-
sation, I restore hirer fourfold."
Zacchaeus gives proof of an awak-
ened conscience and a change of
heart immediately on coming into
the presence td Ohtist He stands

end publicly testifies to his repent-
ance. The Jews were accustomed
and expected to set aside about one-
fifth of their income for pious pur-
poses, but now, with an awakened
conscience he realizes his lung neg-
lect of duty; and declares he will
henceforth be generous as well as
just and give one-half. It had been
easy for him in his business dealings
to defraud if so minded, and now he
promises to make restitution such as
was required of a thief (Ex. 22.1).
Thin is followed by Jesus' approval
for he says: "This day is salvation
come to this house, forasmuch as ha
also is a son of Abraham."
Verse 9.
His conversion will be a blessing
not only to himself but to his family
for he is a son of Abraham in very
truth now, and like Abraham will
teach c his household to keepthe
way
of the Lord. Previously to this to
was a troubler to his family, for we
read in Heb. 2.9 that he that is
greedy of gain troubles his own hour;
and brings a curse upon it.
Jesus teaches here that salvation
is not a thing to be experienced some
far-off day. It is a present blessing
—this day is salvation, come to this
house,
The view which Jesus took of Zac-
chaeus was not that of the multitude.
They said: "A man who is a sinner."
Jesus said, "A son of Abraham." He
was of the lost sheep of'the'house of
Israel whom the Son of Man was
sent to seek and to save." (verse 10).
Let us now draw, from this lesson
the things that concern ourselves.
In the personal interview between
Jesus and Zacchaeus we see the will-
ingness of the Saviour to notice every
seeking sinner. If there were
but one individual living upon thin
earth howould require 'the sun and
all the other elements of nature that
contribute to the maintenance of life
as do the millions who now live upon
it; and so it is for the salvation of
WI individual soul there requires
to be a personal Saviour. It was not
for the multitude but for the indivi-
dual that Jesus died. "God so loved
the world that He gave His only be-
gotten son that whosoever believeth
in Him should not., perish but have
everlasting life." (John 3:16).
There are individuals in many
communities who will tell you they
are kept back from coming into the
church because of others in it. If
we are truly in earnest no difficulty
will keep us out. Like Zacchaeus
we will find some sycamore tree to
climb rather than not see Jesus; will
endure ridicule and break away from
ordinary methods and established
ways. When we are brought into
the visible church it is not one only
that is blessed but through us others
are influenced. Jesus invited him-
self to be a guest in Zacchaeus' home
and to -day "He stands with melting
heart and laden hands" waiting to be
admitted to every heart.

SAHARA CONQUERED BY THE
MOTOR CAR
Timbuctoo, which has been describ-
ed as "the meeting point of the camel
and the canoe," for the Niger flows
near it and the vast Saharan desert
lien north, has been brought within
twenty days of travel from the port
of Algiers by the Kegresse-Hinatin
caterpillar motor car. With that
grotesque monster, which takes sand
dunes and rock surfaces and the
brush thickets of the Niger in its
stride, M. Citroen and the members
astride,
his mission, among them Lieu-
tenant Dubreuil of the French Fly-
ing Corps and Paul Castelnau, a
geographer, reached the old Moorish
capital early in January after twenty
days of motoring from Algeries says
the New York Times. They had con-
quered the Shara, the "dreariest and
driest region of the world." An es- ,.
curt of automobiles came out to meet
them—so modern has Timhuctoo been
made by the French Colonial Govern-
ment. The caterpillar motor in this
case has triumphed over the airplane.
The attempt. of General Laperrine and
Major Vuillemin to fly from the
Mediterranean across the Sahara to
Timbuctoo ended in a tragedy. The
General perished and Vuillemin suf-
fered great privations in winning hie,
way to safety on foot.
The Kegresse-flinstin machine tra-
versed the desert at the rate of 112
miles a day. To most of us the Sa-
hara is a wilderness of sand, often
thrown into hilly formations by the
wind. As a matter of faet,this desert,
3,000 by 1,600 miles, contains exten-
sive rock,formations, mountain ranges
running up to an altitude of 9,000
feet, and immense plains of pebble
and shale. Hare and there, but often
wide apart, are oases, where fairly
good water can be had. But to insure
themselves against dying from thirst
I Citroen and his companion had to
carry a supply in tanks. Some of it
was conveyed a thousand miles. Usu-
ally it takes the Arabs six months to
get from Northern Algeria to Tint -
1 buctoo. The route of the Frenchmen,
who have reduced the schedule to 20
(days, was from the Mediterranean to
Tuggurt, to Inifel, to Insalah (all
places of some trade importance,)
past the Hoggar Mountains (the Ah-
aggar plateau is equal to the Alps in
urea, with snow on its high peaks
from December to March), thence to
Buren on the Niger, and finally west
along the banks of that river to Tim-
buctoo. This centre of trade for a
• vast region is a few miles back from
the river and on a wadi or dry stream
• bed.
It seems strange to read that Tim-
buctoo is now "a pleasant, bustling,
!cosmopolitan town." No longer ago
than ,1893, when the French occupied
the town, liberating the people from
the bloody strife of the Tuaregs and
Fulas, the stretch of desert between
Timbuctoo and Kabara down the river
was known by the sinister name of
I "Gur-immandess," which meant "He
(Dod) hears not" To stray unarmed
and alone from the gates was to
1 court a violent death. Lieutenant
• Boiteux, who seized the town with a
"handful" of marines and a small
force of Senegalese, acted without
orders. It was a foolhardy business.
: A larger force left behind with the
gunboats at Kabara was attacked by
the Tuaregs, who killed Naval Ensign
Aube and eighteen black sailors. Col-
onel T. P. 1. Bonnier stationed at
Monti, 200 miles away, had to_march
to the relief of Bolteux at Timbuctoo.
He entered the town without a fight;I
but setting out a day or two later to 1
scatter the nomads, Bonnier and near-
ly all the men of his command were
surprised and killed.
Boiteux held the fort at Timbuctoo
until Commandant Joffre, afterward
the victor of the first Battle of the
Marne, marched to the relief of the '
little French force that the Tuaregs
. were besieging. The Citroen mission
made a success of its adventure only
by good organization in the first'
place, and by carefully mapping the
sources of water supply. Five motors:
were used. There were stretches of
desert extending over days of travel
where no wells would be passed. All +
the food had to be carrted, except
what might be bought in settlements
before the Sahara was reached. The(
coolest season of the year was natur-
ally chosen for the e,eperiment, 1
Whether the journey could be made 1
in the summer months in as short a 1
time may well bel doubted. There
is already talk of railway projects to
lrnk Timbuctoo with Biskra. Captain
A. H. W. Haywood of the British
army, who traversed Northwestern
Africa from Freetown, the port of
Sierra Leone, through Timbuctoo and
across the Sahara to Algeries in 1911,1
a perilous journey where ' it lay
through the desert (1 560 'miles), has
recorded the opinion that "the project
of building a railway across from Al-
geria to the Niger is never likely to
mature."
He thinks that the line, if built,
would often be buried deep in sand by
wind storms, and he points out the
difficulty of fueling the locomotives.
There is no coal, be says, in Algeria,
and no wood in the Sahara. More-
over, the locomotives would need wat-
er, and there is little of that. Such
a railway would be operated only at
great eicpense. Could it be made to
pay? His answer in his book-- ,
'Through Timbuctoo and Across the
Great Sahara," is that the resources
of the Sahara are practically nil, while
the total values of the caravans wbieh
cross this portion of it do not amount
to 1,000,000 franca per hnnnm. In
the present state of French finances;
the caterpillar motor will have to do
