(By ,Isabel Hamilton, Goderioh; Ont.)
"bellow Me," the Master said;
We will follow Jesus.
By His word aid Spirit led,
We will fonder Jesus.
Should the world and sin oppose,
We will follow Jesus;
He is greater than our foes;
We will follow Jeaus.
Though the way may dark appear,
We will follow Jesus;
He will make our pathway clear;
We will follow Jesus.
(Author Unknown.)
PRAYER
Almighty God, we thank Thee that
in Thy goodness Thou does call all
men unto Thyself. We thank Thee
for the knowledge that we have that
Jesus when here upon this earth did
say, "Follow me" and we know too
that all power is given unto Him and
that He is using that power to help
men, as of old, to become His dis-
ciples. Grant unto us, we beseech of
Thee, the aid of Thy Holy Spirit so
that we may follow wheresoever
Thou leadast. Through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.
SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR
JULY 29th, 1923
Lesson Title—Matthew, the Pub-
hean-
Leeson Passage—Matt. 9 : 9-13 ;
Luke 5 : 27-28.
Golden Text—Luke 6 : 32.
As in a former lesson we saw
Christ showing interest in Zaccheus,
a puli'lican, so in to -days lesson He
calls another, Matthew, the Publi-
can. He was afterwards the author
of the first gospel and himself gives
a very modest account of his call,
and of his being chosen one of the
twelve apostles. These two inci-
dents are the only references to him
in the New Testament. Mark and
Luke tell us he was also named Levi.
It was common in Galilee for a man
to have two names, one strictly Jew-
ish and the other Galilean. Some
think Christ gave him the name of
Matthew when he called him to be
an apostle; the name signifying "the
gift of God."
When Christ called Matthew to be
me of his disciples he was, Bitting at
his place of business. Along the
north end of the Sea of Galilee, we
are told, there was a road, the com-
mercial highway, connecting the city
o8 Damascus with the city of
Acre on the Mediterranean Sea ;
and on that road there was a customs
office at Capernaum, and Matthew
was the officer in charge who exam-
ined the goods and levied the toll.
He therefore belonged to the class
who were regarded as extortioners.
He was despised by the Pharisees
for, he being a Jew, should not have
degraded his race by collecting taxes
for the Roman Empire, thus becom-
ing a publican, a class which was
named by Jesus along with harlots.
Jesus, having previous to this lived
at Capernaum for some time, so long
indeed as to have ft spoken of as
"his own city," would no doubt be
known to Matthew, if not personally
yet from hearsay, as his fame had
gone abroad. It was from working
ene of his miracles, the healing of
the man sick of the palsy, he had
just come when on passing the cus-
tom house his glance fell on Matthew
and he said to him, "Follow Me."
Joseph Parker says: "Is that all?
That is all. Is it not imperative?
It is most absolute, When do kings
say, 'If you please?' Who ever
goes (to see the king by his special
and humble desire? When the King
sends for any one, he commands
them. Jesus seemed to have caught
the trick of that high royalty. 'Fol-
low me,' said he. His commands
were softly spoken, but they were
commands at the root and core of
them."
And as Jesus passed forth from
thence, he saw a man, named Mat-
thew, sitting at the receipt of cue -
m; and he saith unto Him, Follow
m . And he arose, and followed
Him." (verse 9).
Here we have Matthew's own
words telling of his call. He could
scarcely have used fewer, "a man,
named Matthew," in describing him-
self. Previous to this Jesus had call-
ed four, others—Simon,`Peter, An-
drew, James and John, and they
were all busy at their ordinary work
of fishing when he commanded them
to follow him. He does the same
with Matthew, who was so busy col-
lecting taxes that he evidently took
no notice of Jesus until he heard
him say, "Follow me." As in the
case of the four, who straightway
left their nets and followed Him, so
here Matthew quitted his post, gave
up all his chances to get gain, for
never again is there any retention of
his being at the receipt of custom
though Simon Peter and the others
went aflshing occasionally.
"And it came to pass, as Jesus sat
at meat in the house, behold, many
publicans and sinners came and sat
down with him and his disciples"
(verse 10). Again Matthew gives a
very meagre account of the feast,
"sat at meat in the house," but from
Luke we learn that the repast was
"a great-feast"—spread lit the house
of Levi. He gives us a good exam-
ple to follow in thus speaking spar-
ingly of his own good deeds.
It is quite likely that some time
hadelapsedbetween his call and the
making of the feast in his own
house. It is his first missionary ef-
fort. The new disciple wants to
bring his old friends into touch with
his new friend, and takes this way
of doing it, so he invited many pub-
licans and sinners to his feast. Hav-
ing been one of them for so long he
knew what he had been lifted out of,
and .having been now with,Jesus for
a time he knew what he had been
lifted into and so, like Andrew and
Philip he 'sought to bring others to
Jesus. He also showed the extent of
his hospitality in inviting C hist a
disciples to come too.
"And when the Pharisees saw it,
they said unto his disciples, Why eat-
et:h your Master with Publicans and

The meet convincing proof of the
true worth of "Fruit-a-tives" as a

sinners?" (verse 11). Though Jesus
spoke and acted as never man
did yet never man was found fault
with as he was. "Of all the cants
that ever were canted in this canting
world, though the cant of hypocrisy
be the worst, the cant of criticism is
the moat tormenting." . In this case
they who criticized him were the
Pharisees—the holier than thou
class, the observers of forms and
ceremonies. They had not, however,
the courage to criticize Jesus to his
face but went to his disciples and
quarrelled with them about Jesus'
conduct in preferring such notorious-
ry wicked men as "publ1•fans and sin•
ners" • for intimate adsociates, for
eating together is in the East, as
with .us, the sign of close intimacy.
How did Jeaus reply to this question?
"But when Jesus heard that,he
said unto them, They that be wole
need not a physician, but they that
are sick, But go ye and learn what
that meaneth. I will have mercy
and not sacrifice, for I am not come
to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance" (verse 12. 13). Jesus
long before this said, "West ye not
that I must be about my Father's
business?" That business was what
brought him into the company of
publicans and sinners whom he here
calls the sick ones. Sin is the sick-
ness of the soul, and Jesus, the great
physician, had come with power to
heal, a double power that of cleans-
ing from both the guilt and power
of sin. The Pharisees were, so they
thought, the whole ones who had no
need of a physician but who in re-
ality were wicked, miserable, poor,
blind and naked (Rev. 3.17.) It is
as though Jesus said, "If you Phari-
sees are such as you think your-
selves, already pure and holy, you do
not need my aid, for I came on pur-
pose to save sinners so I am where
my business calls me to be."
Then Jeaus further justifies his
presence at the feast in such com-
pany by quoting a passage from Ho-
sea (6.6), "I will have mercy and not
sacrifice." This is a Hebrew mode
of speech and means, "I prefer mercy
to sacrifice, or I am more pleased
with acts of benevolence and kind-
ness than with a mere external com-
pliance with the duties of religion,"
Sacrifices were the principle part of
Jewish worship and the Pharisees
were more given to observance of
forms and ceremonies than to acts
of kindness, and so Jesus tells them
to learn the meaning of true religion.
He then sums up his purpose in
coming into the world in the words:
"I am not come to call the righteous,
but sinners to repentance." The text
of his first public utterance was sim-
ilar, "repent ye, for the kingdom of
heaven is at hand."
Jesus is as truly calling all classes
and conditions of people to "Follow
me" to -day as when he was living in
this world. His power is far more
far-reaching for there he was in the
flesh; but now, having ascended with
his father, he sends his spirit, the
Comforter, to draw all men unto

The mission, eahools t£cattered all
over the 'republic , are furnishing >a .;..
very good primary, education to large
numbers of Chinese boys and . girls .'
who would otherwise have no oppor-
tunity to acquire any education in a
modern s@pse. Supplementing these
primary -cools are schools where a'
somewhat higher education can be'
acquired. And at the top of the odu-
rational system of the Christian eels-
stens stand the colleges and univer-
sities, from which - graduates are
going out into the Chinese world as '
well equipped from an educational)
standpoint as are the graduates in i
America who go out into our own
American world.
The mission hospitals located in i
all parts of the eountry are supply; l
ing medical treatment for the var-
ioup ailments of the people: And the t
surgical operations performed by the
medical missionaries are looked on
as nothing short of miracles by the
people. They have always believed
that supe death must follow many of
the physical ills that can be easily
cured by an American surgeon. Sup-
plethenting the missions hospitals are
several institutions devoted to the de-
velopment of medical science and the
carrying on of research work in
China, the newest and finest of these
institutions being the new Union Med-
ical College at Peking.
With developed minds and sound
bodies many Chinese are becoming
intelligent and enthusiastic Christ-
ians, and their influence among the
masses of the Chinese population
will be far reaching in the year that
are to come.
Christian missions appear to be
travelling the road to success in
China, but the working force is
small, and the resources for the work
are entirely inadequate. Americans
do not always realize that an invest-
ment in the missions of China re-
turns greater dividends in the form
of good work performed than in any
place else in the world. In China
carpenters receive 80 cents a day;
factory labor is paid $6 a month ;
and the native coat of living is in
proportion. Money goes a long way
in China, and $50 a year will pay all
of the expenses of a college educa-
tion for a Chinese boy or girl, while
a $5 bill will very often save a hu-
man life. Where else can Americans
secure such dividends .on their invest-
ments ?
SPARTAN DISCIPLINE FOR SUC-
CESS OF KING GEORGE AND
QUEEN MARY IN BRINGING
UP THE ROYAL CHILDREN
It has been evident to every in-
telligent observer that the chief in-
terest of King George during the past
twenty years has been his children.
As a much younger man than he
is to -day, he sensed the direction af-
fairs were taking, the breaking down
of the old, substantial aristocratic,
the rise of a democratic spirit the like
of which no royalty had ever faced
before, and the need of a royalty to
the conditions which have arisen,
To his children, the King has been
a Spartan father.
There is nothing of the modern,
easy-going daddy about King George.
He does not enjoy the jolly, free and
equal companionship of his children
as most present-day fathers do. Af-
ter twenty years of a domestic dis-
cipline which never has wavered or
weakened, King George has rather
the respectful love of his children,
after the manner of fathers and chil-
dren half a century ago.
The formalities of royalty have not
been responsible for this altogether.
But he has always insisted on the
formalities. That is to say, that
when the Prince of Wales, when he
was Iiving with the royal family in
Buckingham Palace, came to say
good -night to the King, he entered
the King's presence, even though it
were the drawing room or the King's
study, with formality, and addressed
him as "Sire." After the formal
good -night was said, they would un-
bend for a moment and behave as
father and son. But the irreverent
atmosphere of the ordinary inter-
course between father and grown son
never existed between the King
an he Prince who will follow him
Th • is little or nothing of King
Edward's jovial'and beaming spirit in
King George. He takes most of his
character from his Danish mother,
and a little of Queen Victoria's active
sense of responsibility. He is an a4
loof man, Rather a shy man.
He determined, after the manner
of a shy and serious man, that his
children should grow up not merely
with a sense of responsibility to the
state but with characters adaptable
to serving the state. He was deter-
mined that none of his children should
grow into bored and blase royalty.
When at Windsor Castle, twenty
years ago, it was customary for the
royal children to go walking each
afternoon. And their walk took
them past the cottage of a 'lady who
had A very beautiful and inviting
croquet lawn.
The children insisted on playing,
and the nurses and attendants asked
permission of the lady.
Day after day, the children came
and played with the greatest zest.
They held a long series of matches
between themselves. The lady one
day said to the attendants of the
ehildren that they should be got a
oroquet set of their own—they seem-
ed to enjoy it so.
"The King has refused to let thein
have a croquet set," she was told,
"But why? It is a harmless
game"
"Oh," said the attendant, "croquet
is one of the things the children have
tc do without."
That was the Kings system. There
were certain things which the royal
princes Must arbitrarily do without,
just for the sake of doing without. It
was possible for them, naturally, to
have ev'erything. But the King arb-
itrarily refused them certain things.
It has been „the sarite throughout
their liverl in all things. They could

not do what they liked or have what
they pleased. Thousands of wealthy
families in England have had far
more numerous pleasures and child,
ish possessions than the royal family.
But thousands of wealthy, families
have been ruined by it. The wealthy
classes of England to -day are spoiled
by their boredom.
But the princes of Britain are not
spoiled nor bored.
In every relatiorf with life, in their
relations with people of every sort,
they are freak and interested and un-
affected.
It is a triumph of King George, at
some expense to himself. For it is
known that the princes fear hini not
a little. and that the royal family is
going through that uncomfortable
stage when a family of boys who
have been brought up under control
reach the age of manhood and control
must cease.
The removal of the Prince of
Wales from the family circle to quar-
ters of his own outside the palace
was only agreed to after long delay
on the part of King George, who has
always been somewhat at a loss to
deal with the lively spirit of the
Prince.
The Duke of York, who is more like
his father than is the Prince, is af-
flicted with a very severe stammer.
He sometimes has to stop dead in his
speech and struggle painfully for
words. In spite of this, lie goes out
to functions and makes public ad-
dresses, and generally takes his share
of the burden of royal appearances.
This is another evidence of the Ring's
hand, for the Duke of York was most
shy of public appearances. Consider
these royal folks as human beings.
And who ever heard of a man with a
stammer who 'redly spoke in public?
But the Ring, who conquered an in-
stinctive distaste for public appear-
ances,
ppearances, handled the matter to the
King's taste, and the Duke of York
enjoys a popularity not much ,lei
than that of the Prince.
Simple tastes, in keeping with roy-
al appearances, have been used bg,-
the King to keep his children un-
spoiled in a spoiled world.
The King himself is a toiler. Her
hes his office in the palace and has-
hiaxpfflce hours. Every document of
government that he is supposed to:
see, he sees. There is nothing of the,
perfunctory _figurehead about him_
There are thousands of heads or
great buainessewho know leas a
bout their business than the King.
He studies every bill brought to him
for signature. Ile has mhniters ands:
secretaries closeted with him to ex-
plain points of law or administration -
Historians and essayists may say he
is a formal head of the state, but he
doesn't admit it. He investigates,.
I studies, argues, checks everything:.
brought before him. His reason is
this: governments come and govern-
ments go, but the King remains. Hee
is the continuity of government.
These things he has impressed ori -
his sons, particularly the Prince of'
Wales, in the frequent discussions he
has with his sons. He catechises:
them on their studies (or used to),.
lectures them on their duties, deport-
ment.i
A shy, reserved man, thrust into
kingship unexpectedly, who has rid-
den the waves of a turbulent democ-
racy in his reign, who has seen mil-
lions of his subjects ground and tont
in the mightiest war of the ages—
serving him.
And who has made a success of his
sons.
God bless the King!
