"Goye and disciple all nations." Christ the Mediator is setting up a kingdom in the world: "Go ye" and bring the nations to be His subjects;. setting up a school; "go ye" and bring the nations to be His scholars; raising an army for the carrying on of the war against the powers of .l • u enlist the darkness; "go ye"d na- tions of the earth under His banner. The work which the Apostles had to do was to set up the Christian re- ligion in all places, and' it was hon- orable work; the achievement* of the mighty heroes of the world were nothing to it. They conquered the nations for themselves, and made them miserable; the apostles conquer- ed them for Christ, and\made them happy. (Matthew Henry).

John 17:18—Christ's Prayer. The prayer which we call "The Lord's Prayer" was one He taught His disciples to prep but did not pray Himself, for He had no -need to pray for -elle forglvene4s of sin; but this prayer in the 17th chapter of John is peculiarly 1 -lis own as an intercessor. He prays, near the close of His earth- ly ministry; that God would glorify Him (verse 5) and then prays forBis disciples that they might be kept, that they might be sanctified, that they might be glorified. And then He adds, "As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world" (verse 17). This is their commission to carry on the work He is laying down. They a. a to be ambassadors of the Cross. He was a Messenger (Mal. 3:1), an Apostle (Heb. 3:1), a Minister (Rom. 15:8), and now that He is about to return to the glory which He had be- fore with the Father, He pleads that the Father would fit them to follow in His steps as Apostles, Ministers, Messengers, to the world.

' A large door of opportunity for fu- ture evangelistic work among the Jains of India has been opened by way of the chicken coop in the Indus- trial and Agriculture School at San- gli. The Jains are among the most progressiYe of farmers in this district tct says Rev. John L. Goheen, ,mission- ary in charge of industrial work at the school. They have long been not- ed for, owning the best cattle, the finest property and the' best equip- ment, and are always eager to im- prove themselves and their farms. Et has been very difficult, however, to find any point of contact with them. Poverty and trouble are won- derful fertilisers to prepare people's hearts for the sowing of the gospel seed, while persons wealthy and hap- py are much harder to reach. There- fore the Jains, prosperous on their farms, have been quite aloof from Christian influence. But it is through their very prosperity and in- telligence—as well as through their superstitious religious belief — that the door has now been swung slight- ly ajar. Cattle ticks have been a great source of trouble. They frequently so infest an animal that it becomes necessary to kill it, and so one of the tenets of the Jain religion is the sac- redness of all forms of animal life, such butchery is forbidden. Recent- ly a Jain employee of the government conceived the idea that to save his fellow kinsmen from the temptation of this sin, it Might be a good idea to introduce chickens into the farm- yards to destroy the ticks and keep the barns free from the annoying parasites. He also realized that if he could persuade his friends to buy chickens, they should be good ones so as to be profitable. He began to in- quire where he could secure good stock for his farmer friends, and fin- ally arrived at Sangi, 400 miles a- wey. He came to the school, where a shipment of fine birds from Amer- ica had recently been received and placed an order for some young Leg- horn fowls. His interest in the work of the institution and the acquaint- ance which he struck up with the farmer missionary are the open doors mentioned above. Other opportuni- ties are . now coming, and the past year has thrown the missionaries in- to contact with a goodly number of the Jains! They possess fine quali- ties of leadership and are' marked in- fluential in their own districts, and the conversion to Christianity of any great number of them would mean much in the way of influence. (The Continent). which the Father hath put in His own power." A large number of books have come to light of late years, which show what a keen expectation of the Messiah's kingdom and His triumph. over the Romans existed at the time, and prior to the time, of our Saviour. The book of Enoch, discovered one hundred year ago in Abyssinia, and translated into .English in the begin- ning of the present century, was writ, ten a century at least before the in- carnation: From it we learn that the pious unsophisticated people of Galilee were daily expecting the es- tablishment of the Messianic King- dom; but the kined mi they expected was no spiritual, institution, it was simply an earthly scene of material glory, where the .Jews would once again be exalted above all surround- ing nations, and the hated invader expelled from the fair plains of Is- rael. (Stokes). Although the disciples had seen Christ's poverty and witnessed His humiliating death, yet this common idea of temporal power was upper- most in their minds, hence the ques- tion, Lord, wilt thou at this time re- store again the Kingdom of Israel?" Christ in His reply refused to answer vain curiosity about the exact time of things. God had not seen fit to reveal, but rather called them to be diligent workers in the kingdom Ile was about to establish. "It is not for you to know the times or sea- sons." This reply shbuld be sufficient not for the apostles alone but for all who reason about the end of the world or the coming of Christ again. It is told of a foreign bishop, emin- ent for his sanctity and foie the wise guidance which he could give in' the spiritual' life, that he was once en- gaged in pleving a game of bowls. One of the bystanders was of a criti- cal disposition, and was scandalized at the frivolity of the bishop's occu- pation, so much beneath the dignity, as it was thought, of his character. "If Christ was to appear the next moment, what would you do?" he asked the bishop. ."I wquld make the Matt. 28:16-20—The Great Commis- sion At the Last Supper Jesus said: "But after 1 am risen again I will go before you info Galilee" (26:32). After Jesus arose from the grave the angelesaid to the women at the sep- ulchre. "And go quickly, and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead; and, behold, He goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see Him" (verse 7). As they went to tell His disciples "behold Jesus met them and said unto them: Go, tell my brethren that they -.go into Gali- lee, and them shall they see me," (verset 9, 10). The Apostles were now obe*ng that injunction; "Then. the eleven elis- ciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them" (verse 161. Jesus had ap- peared to them before this on several occasions in Jerusalem, and now they go'a long journey for one more sight of Him which was not to be a private interview hut in the presence of a large number, "He was seen of above five hundred brethren at once", (1 Cor. 15:6). Verse 17—How They Received Him. "And when they saw Him, they worshipped Him: 'but some doubted." In every assembly of worshippers there are some doubters, but Jesus speaks to them' as well. as to those who are sincere. Verses 18-20—What Jesus Said to Them. "And Jesus came and apake unto them saying: "All power is given un- to me in heaven end in earth. Go ye, {herefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father. and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all' things whatsoever I have com- manded you; and, Id .I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." .('esus prefaces His commission with the assurance of itis ability to fulfil His word. The power He now poases- es Was given to Him by God. "He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right 'hand in the heavenly places, far shote all prin- cipality, and, power, and might, and dominion,- and every name that is ,nariled, net bttly* t this world, but at. do In that lbhi`eh is ter cute, And u .p tlhetEc°'bali Wenches. 0,9 Poa's pen a eh. amount of money collected on re- served. seats. His real fosses would he in the rental of the stadium, the hiring of guards and help, advertis- ing expenses; refreshments and the like. Fifty thousand dollars it seem - ea to us, would cover that. That is the policy we wrote. As far as we know no rain insurance was written for the Firpo fight. • "The tame, in a measure, is true of department store insurance. During the heavy shopping season we write many rain policies. The desire of most stores is to get a policy which will -cover : all profit losses incurred by rain. They will let us go thrqugh their books, see what the profits .have been for a special sales days for the past few years and apply for a that basis. If a store has policy on as made $7,000'in profits on Dec. 10 for five years they expect to draw a policy for at least that much. At first we were inclined to agree with them. Our ' position on this has changed, however. Even if it rains all day, the store does not suffer a loss equal to last year's profits. The merchandise is still in the store, ready to be sold at a profit on a more favorable day. They suffele a loss in overhead and advertising, It is true. We'll write a policy for that plus an additional sum that will in a measure repay for a day of poor business. "A dollar and a half an hour for a $100 policy is no unusual rate. That would be $6 for a four-hour period or $86 for a day. In a word, it would be a 36 per cent. pro rata policy. Yet at that we are often caught. We think we know all about a section of the country, we work out our rates according t o the information we hove, and then find that somewhere we have neglected a detail. Knowing that it rains so many days a month is not enough. We find we need to kno* more. "Take two men, each living in the sante town. Both take out rain in- surance policies for the same day, one for the four hours before noon, the second for the four hours after noon. In the past we have charged them the same rate. We made a mistake doing that. Experience has taught us that most of the rain that falls comes In the afternoon. We make money on the morning policies, broadly speaking, but lose on the afternoon policies."

STEPS OF THE STAIRS OF SUCCESS Have you failed in your business? (lave you failed to attain the posi- tion you wish; or failed to secure the promotion you desire? Or have you felled to make good in anything, or failed to get a job at any kind of work? And, seemingly, most tragic of all —when well along in years—does it seen to you that your life has been a series of failures, one after the other? Well, everyone fails! Every life is Made up of failures. That is very cheering news and truthful. The cheerful part is that which you think is failure is not failure; the truth is that every incident of life which you cell a failure is a step of the stair of success. No incident or experience in life is ever a failure; yet, you may fail— but only in failing to recognize the incident or experience as a step up- ward! Those who remain failures or seem to do so fail to succeed in life because 'they refuse to put on long trousers when they have out- grown the age of wearing knee pants. And, strange as it may seem, each failure is designed of God, to force you from baby dresses to frocks, from frocks to combination suits, combination suits .to knee pants, etc. This process of God, forcing you out of one experience into another— usually' wos;ks through yourself, but it may work through friends or through society or by means of busi- ness conditions. No matter how it works or by what means, it is always operative to prevent your standing still.
