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 [RATION Restored 10 Health By Taking "tFrult-a-tives IP Made of fruit Juices and Tonins The meet convincing proof of the true worth of "Fruit-a-tives" as a mediola� ,er women is found in the letter tt,9i1 by them to "Frult,.a- tivea" F'orInstanoe: "I suffexed with all the symptoms of female teouble, pains low down in the btoh sad ride!,-consti atioa and eonatant headaohs.

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 BEFORE MY BABY CAME I Was Greatly Benefited by Taking Lydia E.

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.

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.
