II. A loving guest. "I must abide" (v,
5). Ile "melt" because it was His Fa-
ther's will for that day, because there
was a longing in Zacchaeus' heart which
"must" be answered. It was the con-
straint of love. The life of Jesus from
childhood to the cross was one long ne-
cessity (Luke ib. 49; John iv. 4; Mark
viii. 31). With God the salvation of a
sinner is of constraining love. Man's sal-
vation is God's loving purpose, God's
gracious promise, Christ's precious pur-
chase.
III. A thoughtful guest. "Ceme down
..I must abide" (v. 5.) If Jesuse had
only said, "Come down," the crowd
might have thought the man was to be
condemned for his wickedness and &te-
diums might have feared be was to be
censured; but the kind. thoughtfulness
of Jesus gave the man and the people
the true understanding of bit relation
to the "chief among the publicans."
IV. A gracious guest. "I must abide
at thy house" (v. 5). "Salvation is come
to this house" (v. 8). Not only was
Zacchaeus saved, but the wife and the
children and the servants. God's pre-
vision is for the family. "Noah found
grace in the eyes of the Lord" (Gen. vi.
8); and. the invitation to bbn was,
"C-ome thou and all thy house into the
ark" (Gen. vii. I). On the first pass.
over night the command was, "A lamb
for an house" (Exod. xii. 3). The jailer
was bidden to believe and he should be
saved and his house (Acts xvi. 31).-
V. A welcome guest. "And he made
haste and came down, and received hiin•

five bushels ner aere.

PROPERTY WILL BE HELD.
It is Said That Secret Instructions Have
Been Sent to the Bishops Advising
Them of Means to Hold the Church's
Lands.
New York, Aug. 19. -The correspond-
ent of The Sun in Rome cables: Offi-
cials at the Vatican say that the Pope
bas despatched secret instructions to the
Freneh Bishops advising them to form
public worseip associations under some
other name in order to prevent the loss
of ecclesiastic property, which other-
wise would pass from the possession of
the Church under the separation act.
Paris; Aug. 18. -The comments of
the French press on the Pope's encyclical
on the separation of Church and State
are as diverse as they aro multitudin-
ous day by day. Some persistently
refer to the encyclical as meaning that
war will be necessary; others say that
ways will be found to avoid war. Still
others say there will be no uniformity
of action within the Church itself in
Frame owing to local customs and feel-
ing.
Some of tee religious weeklies pub-
lish the encyclical without comment.
Even the date of the assembly of the
Bishops ,is uncertain, it being stoutly
affirmed and denied to -day that the
meeting has been fexed for the early part
of September.
