She wished to eenv+e Jesus with her best both as to meals, and service but She failed in her manner. She became distracted, then rebellious at her sister's .apparent want of interest in the, to her, important concerns of the moment. George Matheson, D.D., in his Rte - presentative Women of the Bible, con- trasts these two friends: df 'Jesus thus: "We cannot designate Mary as "Mary the Meditative." Meditate she did and deeply; but so did Martha when she was careful and troubled about many outward things. Shall we call her "Mary the Sympathetic?" But does the difference between Mary and Martha really lie in the fact that the one sympathized and the other did not? No. Every article on Martha's table was constructed out of sympa- thy, built of the fibres of her heart. The feast which she devised was the fruit of solicitude for Jesus and would have had no existence apart from that solicitude. It would be unkind not only to Martha but to all who were privileged to minister to the physical wants of Jesus if the monopoly of sympathetic feeling were assigned to Mary alone. Was not Mary's pecul- iarity the power to detect in those she met what was the main thing to be sympathized with? It was mental tactfulnes.st—the ability to put the hand intensively upon the special need of a human soul. Mary read the thought of Jesus and she sat down at the Master's feet and listened to His words. ` Mary has realized as much as Martha that Jesus is her guest, and as much as Martha her object is to minister to her guest, Our Lord makes a strange remark about this attitude of Mary. He says that her contribution to the coming feast will be the most permanent of all, that, so fax from casting a damper on the hospitality, she and such as she will be the 'best remembered of all the entertainers. Mary has chosen that good, part which shall not be tak- en away from her. And is He not right? Does not experience prove it a thousand times? Is not Mary's gift of thought reading more import- ant for a feast than the courses? Such a gift is essential to the very existence of a social gathering." 11 : 42-46, 52-54.—Jesus Among His Foes. "Christ here with many of those things to a Pharisee and His guests in a private conversation at table, which He afterwards said in a public discourse in the temple (Matt. 23). What He said in public and private, was of a piece. He would not say that in a corner, which He durst not repeat and stand to in the great con- gregation; nor would He give those reproofs to any sort of sinners in general, which He durst not apply to them in particular as He met with them; for He was, and is, the faith- ful witness." (Matthew Henry). We do not know what underlay the invitation to dinner at the house of a certain Pharisee. .Whatever it was, Christ knew it. If He meant ill as others did (verses 53-54) He shall know Christ doth not fear 'him. if well, he shall know Christ is willing to do him good; so "he went in and sat down to meat." The Pharisee took offence at Christ's sitting down to eat with un- washed hands. This gave Christ an opportunity of administering a sharp reproof for laying stress upon trifles and neglecting the weighty matters of the law. Now Christ does not con- demn them for being so exact in pay- ing tithes ("These things ought ye to have done", but for thinking that that 'would atone for the neglect of their greater duties. He further re- proved them for their pride and van sty; "Ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues." Having shown up the hypocrisy of the Pharisees He next spoke to the lawyers and show- ed how they make it their business to expound the law according to the tradition of the elders. Christ took them to task and denounced woes up- on them (verses 46, 47, 52) for mak- ing religion more burdensome to others, but more easy to themselves than God bad made them. The Scribes Pharisees could not bear ar those cutting reproofs which they must own to be just, so they spite- fully and maliciously contrived to draw him into a snare (verses 53-54).

LESSON FOR MARCH 15, 1931 Lesson Topic—Jesus Among friends and Foes. Lesson Passage—Luke 10:38-42; 11: 42-46, 52-54. Golden Text—John 15:14. Our Lord Jesus, when He was here upon earth, was so poor that it was necessary for His friends to look to His welfare. Though He was Zion's King, He had no house of His own either in Jerusalem or near it. There were some who were Christ's special friends, whom He loved more than His other friends and them He vis- ited most frequently. He loved a certain family i nBethany and was at liberty to invite Himself and His dis- ciples to partake of its hospitality when in the neighborhood. At the time of to -day's lesson it had grown dangerous to entertain Jesus' but Martha paid no heed to the Ic hazard• she ran but welcomed Him im and set about making arrangements for His entertainment. Jesus had another friend in that home. They both loved Jesus and welcomed Him gladly but they show - TAKE THE WHEEL of the NEW OLDSMOBILE lye ... e'�! . il�ll!lVi 1 umk n,µ,,. h6I , I: 111.1 Ili f tit \\11 1114 III 1 IiI II i A Until you actually get behind the wheel of the newOldsmobile,you cannot appreciate the advanced performance which this Fine car now brings you at lower prices.

Were plenty of abuses, political and social, to lee attacked, and 'this wag the kind of work that Pulitzer could do better than anyone else. It was not long before the Despatoh was spoken of with respect and money was rolling into its coders. Pulitzer had 'become a power and won a position that would have satisfied the ambition of 95 men out of 100. We doubt very much whether he would have been satisfied, although it was through an accident that he left the city and went to New York. One of his editors shot and killed a man 'who had called at the office for the purpose of chastising him, and this incident so aroused public opinion against the paper that Pulitzer feared it would be years before he could re- gain his., old standing. Appointing deputies to conduct his St. Datilq paper he went to New York, and only twice after that, we believe, set foo., in St. Louis though his property there continued to be a great money earn- er and is so to this day. The•New York World at that time was in the pos- session of Jay Gould who had no in- terest in it and had indeed taken it for a debt which otherwise would have been uncollectable. It was los- ing $40,000 a year. Pulitzer bought it for something less than $400,000 and proceeded to do on a bigger scale what he had already accomplished in St. Louis. He had only four years' active work on the World before his fading sight gave way to blindness, but we doubt it, with the exception of 'a similar period of activity by Hearst some years later, there ever was such work crowded into a New York newspaper in four years. Pulitzer toiled day and night, driving his men as mercilessly as he drove himself, exposing scan- dals, giving the news that other papers refused to give, gradually building up circulation and then drawing advertising. It was when he had rescued the World from its mori- bund condition' and driven it into the position of leading New York paper, that Hearst came on the scene and bought from Pulitzer's brother the New York Journal, into which in the course of three or four years he pour- ed between $6,000,000 and $8,000,000. It was a terrific war between Pulitzer and Hearst. The era gave rise to the expression "yellow journalism" which was impartially applied to both. Grad- ually Pulitzer evacuated this field, foreseeing that 'the public was tiring of it. While still in the very prime of life his blindness condemned him to a life of semi -invalidism. He had made him- self a nervous wreck by his work on the Despatch and later on the World. He longed to work. He had really no important interest except his paper, though this concentrated in later years upon the editorial page which was un- rivalled in American journalism. He rarely entered the office but spent most of his time upon his palatial yacht whichich had a crew and entourage e such as an exiled monarch might maintain, in some rented European chateau or one of the two or three magnificent homes he bad in the neighborhood of New York. But daily or even oftener he wrote or cabled his suggestions and orders to his editors and managers. To the end of his days he never lost his burning en- thusiasm for justice, for exposing fraud and pretense in high quarters. He never was satisfied with his news- paper nor for two consecutive weeks with anybody in his employ despite the fact that some of the ablest men in the American newspaper world were working for him, and almost as industriously as he would have work- ed himself. He died leaving a for- tune of many millions and the papery which were a monument to his mem- ory, now, alas, crumbled to dust. REV. CHAS. E.

WORLD MISSIONS In every package marked "Chinaware" ... as pretty as you can buy served, and the Japanese pupils and the friends of the missionaries were invited to attend the services. As the days passed the interest increased, and the meetings were continued much beyond the intended limit. Before the meetings closed a number of the young men professed conversion, and asked for baptism. Nine of them were baptized, and these, with two others previously baptized, were or- ganized into the first Protestant Church in Japan.—From Fruits of Christian Missions in Japan. First Protestant Missions In Japan. Verbeck, sent out from America by the Dutch Reformed Church, settled at Nagasaki and while applying him- self to the study of the language, was instrumental through correspondence in leading into the Kingdom two bro- thers of high rank living a hundred miles away. The older of these, Wa- kasa, had been on patrol duty at Nag- asaki some time before, on the oc- casion of the visit of some foreign men-of-war. There he picked up a Dutch Bible that was floating on the water in the harbor, and, learning what it was sent a messenger to China to secure a copy of the Chinese translation, which he could under- stand. When Verbeck came to Nag- asaki, Wabasa applied to him for in- struction, and a correspondence be- gan between the two which resulted in the baptism of Wakasaki and his younger brother, Verbeck's first con- verts. He was also teaching English and the Bible to young men in Nag- asaki who were destined to direot the fortunes of the Empire, and through their influence he later received a call to come to Tokyo and translate books on law and other subjects for the government,and, to be their adviser in the organization of the, Imperial university. Probably no foreigner, certainly no missionary, has exerted a greater influence on the course of events in Japan during the past 70 years than Guido Verbeck.

OLD JOE PULITZER TURNS IN HIS GRAVE There can hardly be a newspaper- man on this continent who does not regret the passing of the New York World, one of the finest and most liberal journals ever published in the United States. But competition of the tabloids and such rivals as the Times and the Herald -Tribune has brought upon it the same fate as be- fell the paper which was for many years its only rival, the New York Herald. The causes mentioned are Only superficially the reasons for the disappearance of the World. The real trouble was that while Joseph Pulitzer could 'build up a great property, amass millions of dollars, and beget heirs to enjoy them, he could not transmit his own keen intellect, pas- sionate devotion to the public good; and amazing newspaper sense to his sons. Nor, apparently, could the sons take theirfather's who hire men could place. It is no criticism of them to say this, though from time to time we have heard plenty of criticism of them. Joseph Pulitzer was an extraordin- ary man. Half German, half Jew, he landed with little money in the United States when a young man and after various adventures made his way to St. Louis. There he found a vacancy on the staff of a German newspaper where he received his first training. He had tremendous energy and was devoted to his task so that it was not long before he became a conspicuous figure' in the large German commun- ity of the city. The opportunity came to him to buy a run down, almost worthless daily called the Despatch for $2,500, subject to a $30,000 lien. He seized it and then threw himself LEGS TREMBLED; HEART THROBBED is Now Well and Strong as Ever —Helped by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills (Tonic) "I wish from my heart," writes Mrs. Louie Mitchell, of Oak Point, Manitoba, "I could persuade every person who is run down in health to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial.

"Their courage , and vitality do not diminish." They are "greatly plag- ued by the heat" in the tent and pre- fer to lie outdoors. On September 4, they celebrate Strindberg's birthday and he celebrates by falling into the water. They are put out because they have bother drying him, but "the ac- cident . . did not lessen our festal mood." They have hard work, they stumble on slippery ice, they suffer minor in- juries and are tired, but they take it all as part of the game. They de- cide to winter on the ice and erect a house "both solid and neat." The floe breaks up and their equipment is scat- tered. "Exciting .situation,' Strind- berg writes. Andree comments: "With such comrades, one should be able to manage under any circumstances." This is the last complete record in Andree's handwriting. They are ashore on White Island and they still have more and better equipment than Nansen had under like circumstances—more food and an island nearer civilization. But the tragedy must have come soon after landing. The diary entries are few. We therefore turn to the evidence on White Island. When Dr. Grunnar Horn's expedi- tion discovered the Andree remains, they found them remarkably preserv- ed. This preservation of normally perishable things 'was due to Andree's propensity for making a camp in shel- ter where the lee accumulates huge of ventilation. snowdrifts that become deep in the As we discussed these events after - autumn and last far into summer.

The conditions of tone of the diaries was in a fair way the find were approximately the same as those on White Island. The men had died in the tent, there was plenty of fuel, and food in good condition after ten years. The men appeared to have died in• bed. New in the Arctie they had camped under the lee of a cliff and the snow had drifted down over their tent making it additionally airtight. They went to sleep with a blue -flame kerosene stove burning and none of them ever woke up. These cases, from a great many that could be cited, give the full pic- ture of the probably simultaneous deaths of Andree and Fraenkel. Their tent was nearly air -tight for it was made of balloon silk and it had a floor that was sewed to it in one piece. The tent stood in a lee. In the first storm of the year, or at least the first one from the direction of the cliff, the air -tightness of the tent was increased by a blanket of softly falling snow. One of the men was cooking when the other fainted. The cook then released the pressure so that the stove went out, just as I had done on, Coronation Gulf. We know he did that because the stove was dis- covered half filled with kerosene. Then he fainted, too, before he was able to make a hole -in the tent for ventilation. If we adopt this solfftion, the' only one that fits all the facts, we need not criticize Andree, as the Norwegian discoverers of his camp and the Swed- ish editors of his book have done. The reason the bodies were found insuffici- ently clad for outdoors is that the men were overcome as they sat cook- ing a meal in a warm camp. One ac- count even says that an overturned dish was lying on the floor, with re- mains of food. [WHEN IN TORONTO Make Your Home 110TEL WAVERLEY SPADINA AVE. and COLLEGE ST. E. R. Powell, Prot.

In breaking this block he partly collapsed but was able to crawl outdoors. I had only strength to pull Dr. Anderson off Tanaumirk. Then I crawled out, trust- ing that the fresh air would come in through the door fast enough to give them a chance of recovery, A. little later they came crawling out, and soon we were within doors cooking our food again, this time with plenty of being justified. But death came instead, and with it mysteries that cloud our view. We see plainly, how- ever, that Strindberg died before the other two, for his body had been bur- ied. It may have been illness, a fall over a cliff or the accidental discharge of a gun. It could have been the at- tack of a polar bear. Everything goes to show that An- dree and Fraenkel died together, or that one died when the other was too weak to care for his body. When they died they were lightly clad. Com- mitted to the traditional view that every death in the Arctic must be either from starvation or cold, the Horn discoverers ignored the three kinds of fuel, misinterpreted the light clothing, and said: "They died • in their sleep! The cold finished them." There was a sleeping bag on the tent floor but the inadequately clad they are init.Yet h notdied men had y said to have frozen to death in their sleep! Andree is criticized fair not having seen to it that his party was properly dressed. Sailors are quoted declaiming against the insufficiency of the clothing, But you do not have to ignore evi- dence or criticize Andree's equipment in order to find a logical theory, for there is a more friendly explanation which accounts for all observed facts. Andree and Fraenkel died from car- bon monoxide poisoning. In many European countries the favorite method of suicide is with monoxide generated by charcoal braz- iers. At notable proportion of death's connected with automobiles is from monoxide poisoning in garages when motors are running. And one veter- an polar .explorer has come to the conclusion that no expedition winter- ing in the Arctic"during the last 30 or 40 years has been without one or more narrow escapes from death by monoxide. - We quote (slightly abridged) a re- cent case from Admiral Byrd's, best seller,' "Little America": Perhaps the must dramatic incident of the Winter took place in the photo- graphic laboratory.

We submit a draft of the missing chapters and a solution of the final problem. We note at once many parallels between Andree'a expedition and Nan- sen's two years earlier. In 1895, the Norwegian Nansen was exploring the Arctic by steamer. With one com- panion he left the Fram among drift- ing ice floes some 350 miles from land. In 1897, the Swede Andree was ex- ploring the Arctic by balloon. With two companions, Strindberg and Fraenkel, he left the balloon among similar floes though less than 200 miles from shore. Because of a northward detour, Nansen had less provisions, less 'and poorer equipment when he at length attained that dist- ance from land at which Andree be- gan his sledging. On the journey thence ashore Nansen had more dif- ficulties than Andree. The Swedes were as confident throughout as tha Norwegians had been. Their optim- ism and the sound reasons behind it are crucial elements in the solution of the Andree mystery. "The landing (from the balloon)," says the compiler of the Andree docu- ments, "must have taken place suc- cessfully. This is shown partly ' by the circunilce that the expedition carried with em quite uninjured a- cross the ice even the most sensitive instruments.". The men themselves are "filled with a sense of calm and security" They direct their steps toward Franz Josef Land without worry. This is to be ex- pected, for Nansen had returned tri- umphant from this part of the Arctic only a year before, having passed the winger in perfect health on the Franz Josef Islands. The march toward Franz Josef Land isnot easy,: but the Atidree par- ty do not find it discouraging. They are in 'a model to 'celebrate the birth day of Strindberg's fiancee, and he wishes he could tell his Anna "of the excellent state • of his health" and let her knoww she has nothing to fear for their well-being. At length they re- alize the drift of ice is toward Spits- heirge'n and they begin to march in that ,direction.
