LESSON Xia-slt.INE la, OM
Hems of Faith. -Heb, II t 1.40,
Commentary. -I. Faith defined, and de-
terfhed (v, 1). low -Aa if beginning
te anticipate that too continued a strain
of warning and rebuke might wear upon
his hearers, the Apostle now suddenly
changes his tone to thrilling jubilation.
From threateniug penalty for unbelief
he rises into' e, lofty peal of evaltation
over the glories of faith. Ile proceeds to
show that faith is not only jnetifying,
but inspiring, ennobling.and. exalting te
the eatil.-Whedon. Farth-The apostle
does not give a complete) defluition ef
faith, but rather deecribes it, showing
what it is by what it does. Faith is
that soul element which enables us to
look up and grasp God. It is the cons
necting link between Gocl and man, The
substance-"Aesurance."-R. V, The
margin renders it "ground." Substances
is from the Greek leupo, under, and sta-
sis, standing, and from the Latin sub,

Tue. :things not seen -The "things
hoped for" are the peace and approba-
tion of Gad, and those blessings by
which the soul is prepared for the king -
dorsi of heaven. The "things not seen"
are, in an extended sense, the creation of
the world from nothing, the destruction
of the world by the deluge, the miracu-
lous conception of Christ, His resurree-
toin, ascension, mediation, and govern-
ment of the uniVerse, all of whieli we

The utility of faith (vs. 2, 3). 2,
The elders -The ancient fathers'the
patriarchs and prophets. Had witness
borne to them (It, V.) -The elders lived
in a state or atmosphere of faith and
God bore testireony to their holiness,
and valor, as the remainder of this 'chap-
ter shows, 3. The worlds -This has re-
ference to the material substance of this
and all other worlds. By the word of
God. God spoke and it was done. When
nothing material existed, God's word
brought matter into existence and caus-
ed It to become organized. By a word
the Almighty Bet the worlds swinging
in space. Now we know this by faith.
We have no other means by which we
can know it; but God's word. saps it
was so and we believe it •
III. Illustrious examples of faith (vs.
4.40). In verses 4 to 7 Abel, Enoch and
Noah are mentioned as examples of
faith. The faith of Abraham is dwelt
upon in verses 8 to 19. Abraham was the
great typical example of -faith. By faith
he obeyed the call of God and went in-
to a strange land not knowing whither
he was going. 17. By faith Abraham -
In •verees 11, e2 we see how by faith
Isaac was born, and now the greatest
instance of Abraham's faith is shown in
his readiness at the divine command to
offer up Isaac as a burnt -offering. When
he was tried -In Gen. 22;1 we read that
God tempted, or proved, Abraham. The
Bible writer does not mean that God
incited Abraham to sin, but he tried and
Proved him and taus gave occasion for
the development of faith (1 Cor. 10. 13;
Bob, 11. 17; Jas 1. 12), 'It is well to
see that God confers a signal honor up -
en us when Be thus tests our hearts." -
0 H. M. "Tempting is for the sake of
Raiding men to 'evil; testing them is
for the purpose of making them better.
The trials of life are to provewhat we
'are, to see if we ar fitted for larger
things. The ship is tested, not to des-
troy it, but to see if it is strong to car-
te, its cargo through the storm. The
meaning of trial is not only to test
worthiness, but to increase it. The fire
doth not only discover what is true
gold, but makes the true gold more
pure," Offered up Isaac -Isaac was
bound on the altar, and the knife 'was
raised. "The deed is Virtually done when
the will shows firm determination." God
regarded the saerifice as already made: -
Received the promises -Abraham had
receieed special promises whieh had been
fulfilled, promises withgespect to Isaac;
and yet he does not hesitate to obey
God in the .sacrifice of his son. Only be-
gotten -His only son by Sarah, his legal
wife. "Had Abraham's whole soul nob
.been etayed simply on the Lord, he nev-
er could have yielded unhesitating °bed-
-knee to such a searching command. ' -

seed (Gen, 17. 8, 10. 21. 12). 10. -Able
to raise him up -He believed God could
perform a niirtscle and restore) Isaac to
life. In a figure -There is sonie doubt
as to the exact meaning of this ex-
pression. "How could Abraham have re.,

ceived him beck figuratively grom the
dead, because Isaac was typically, or
figuratively, dead." -Cam. Bib. 7be

PRA.CTICAL .APPLICATIONS.
The li'aith of Abraliam and Mosee.
Nearly all a that part of the lesson
to be printed is coufined to the faith of
these two ancient wortbies.
I, The Nth of Alerabain. He was a
most extraordinary man, And suotained
a veryintimate relation to God. "In
the ecriptures he seems te be set forth
as a model for the church in all ages.
God had been pleased to honor him with
a trinity of appellations that are won-
derfully eontpreheesive and deeply sig.
nificeutt: 'Friend of God' (Dia. 41; 8;
jure 2: 23); lather of many nations' (Gen.
17: 5; lather a all believers' (Rene
4: 11, 16). We notice three destinot
Stages in Abraham's personal progress
in the divine life. 1. He camplies with
the couditions of true discipleship in
forsaking all to follow God (Gen, 12:
1-5; Ileb, 11: 8; Luke 14: 33), 2, He
was justified by faith (Gen. 15: 6; Rom,
4; Gal. 3: 6; Jas, 2: 23), He believed in
Jehovah, and it was counted -the faith
he put in jehovali-to him for righte.
ousness or justificetion; though there
was no act in the ease but that a the
mind and heart, no work of any kind.
3. He was made pure and holy by faith
in God and obedience to God" (Gen,
1.7; 1).
Oonsider Abraham's testiug. "In the
offering of Isaac he was subject to the
severest trial, perhaps, that ever man
was under, exeept cur Saviour. But
this trial gave a practical deinonstras
tion of the nature aud strength of Ala
raladn's faith. 1. He steggered not at
the promise of God tlirough unbeliefl'
(Rom. 4, 20), although the divine re-
quirement seemed to contradict the pro-
mise of God (see Gen. 17, 10; 21, 12). 2.
His faith was unwavering M the wis-
dom and love of God, while the sacrifice
demandees seemed to contravene the na-
ture cf the Deity. 3. His faith in and
love for God were stronger and superior
to his love for his beloved son, Isaac.
4. His faith made him render prompt
and unquestioning obedienee to God. 5.
His faith enabled him to apprehend the
typical nature of tile offering he raede.
Did not Jesus refer to this when He
said, `Your father Abraham rejdiced to
see my day. and he saw it, and was
glad'? (john 8, 56). 6. He believed in
the resurreebion of the deed (Rorie 4,37,
19, 21; Het). 11, 19). 7. He believed that
God would. work a miracle and raise the
dead, if necessary, in order to make
His promises good."
II. The faith of 'Moses. 1. His faith
enabled him to -make a wise choice. T113
world placed before him its very, best,
and religion placed, before him it very
worst. There was honor, pleasure and
wealth on the one hand, and affliction.
reproach and hardships on the other
hand. But his faith was clear and
strong, and he made the wise ChOim.
His worldly prospects were cut of at
one blow, and he identified himself with
slaves. 2. His faith enabled him te eu-
dure. Many start out well, but when
the tests .coma which call for real endue-
ance they fall by the way. Faith en-
abled Moses to keep going, regardless of
hindrances. 3. His faith ermined eim to
see the invisible. Moses believed in
God's aptual presence in the world, con-
trollina huinan life. and Inman affairs..
Be believed that God would be with him,
according to His expressed promise, to
cheer and guide. "Faith regards God's
word as more real than man's acts, as
not less real than a star in heavens and
believes that the least promise that God
has written will outlive the Met pyramid
that all the Pharaohs have ever built."
4. His faith enabled him to apprehend
the truth with respect to the prondeed
Meeziale "By faith he kept the Pais -
over," which points directly to Christ.

Calgary, June 7. -Washout on the

paralyzed traffic, and no transcontinen-
tal train has come through front the

NEED OF COLLEGE.
Disciples of Christ Want One in the
West.
Toronto despatch: The Disciples of
Chriet will campaign along educational
as well as religious lines, according to
the views expressed at yesterday's ses-
sions of their annual convention in the
Cecil Street Church. In the discussion
which followed the address of President
Falconer of the University of Toronto,
several speakers advocated the wisdom
of enlarging the scope of effort of the
brotherhood, aiming toward the estab-
lisnment of colleges for the training of
the yeueg men. This, it was held, was
particularly necessary in the west.
President Falconer spoke on minister-
ial education, advocating the develop-
ment .ef the whole man. Real learning,
he pointed out, never harmed religion,
and no church had ever been injitred by
learning.
• "What hinders success in the home
field," was the subject of an address
by Itev. A. Tovell, Guelph. The chief
hindrances, he said, were with our-
selvea.
Rev. A. N. Simpson, Toronto, dealt
with "What helps success in the home
field." a

LORD ROSEBERY.
Lord Rosebery, the oretor of the em -
ire ane master of eloquence, humor,
satire and impassioned invective, was
greeted most enthusiastically on rising
to propose the toast, "Our Guests."
There had been conferences before, said
Lord Rosebery. of great importance, at
which the Prime Minister and the elin-
siters of the Empire have met to con-
sulteon great matters of policy concern-
ing the Empire, but the Imperial press
conference was more important.
Ile, had dreamt a dream of au Empire
trip, ' Parliament should vote supplies
for two years and pack itself up on
three or four warships and take a trip
to find out something about the Em-
pire. It should first go to Newfound-
land, where even the British Legisla-
ture would be able to find sonic con-
stitutional problems which had been
solved nowhere else. Then on to Cana-
da, where they might see many things
new to them. They would See that even
under the most advanced democracy a
Prime Minister may hold his own
against the successive buffets of innum-
erable general elections. They might
see In Canada that wealth is not a
crime. (Laughter.) Same of the most
glowing specimens of that obnoxious
creature, the multi -millionaire, had been
moduced on that soil.
But he would not pause to tell of the
political and physical sport which the
legislators might indulge in in Canada,
New Zealand, Australia, India and
South Africa should also be visited, But
Ito knew the dream was impracticable.
He would pees on to the solid, practical
topics with which the Imperial press
conference would deal. Ho had looked
at the list of 'their topics, and it was
with a feeling of sensible relief that he
saw that tariff reform was not amongst
them. (Laughter.) He understood that`
it was desired that there should be a
peaceful conference, and perhaps it was
as well for the conference that that par-
ticular topic should be eliminated.
.Then they cante to the question of a
close union between the parts of tho
Empire. That was the most vital of all.
(Cheers.) It was perfectly certain that
if they were to build up an Empire,
they could only do it by the freest
knowledge of each other's wants and
ideas. He remembered when he was in
Canada, thirty-three years ago,
that the
news which reached Canada fiom the
mother country had not passed through
wholly favorable and friendly channels.
Ali that was changed now, and he was
quite certain no such abuses now exist-
ed. If they wanted to weld the Ein-
pito closer together, their first and
main method must be by the cheapest
means of communication. (Cheers.) No
one could have lived as long as he had
without seeing the enormous improve-
ment of our British press with regard to
the news from the Empire beyong the
sons.
eaktiangleeotn84the duty of national de-
fence, Lord Rosebery said: "We can and
will build Dreadnoughts, or whatever
new type of ship may be, as long as we
hava a shilling to spend on them, or a
man to put in them. 13u4 I am not sure
but that ie may be your duty to take
back to your young dominions across

bility for the national defence -rests
