Lee*, the son .of Alpheette. Saidine-The
wife of Zebedee aud mother of James
and John, Bought eplece (IL V. -)--They
may have bought them on Friday after -
moo before ounset, the beginning of the
dewisli. Sa'
bbath or Saturday evening
after the SW40 wee petit, that they
might have them in readiness for use
early the following morning. 'Vie spices
were aromaties, wed for embalming.
Luke *speaks of apices and ointments
(23: 50), and John mentions aloes end
myrrh (19: 39). Anoint him --Embalm
the body in preparation for burial. 2,
Very corky in the morning -Tho women
left their limes probably at dawn, for
they arrived at the sepulchre at 0.1131480.
The first day of the week -This was
Sunday morning. Jesus had lain in the
grave a part of Friday, the whole of
Saturday and part of Sunday, making,
aecordiag to.the Jewish mode of reekon-
fug, three days.
3. They Bold among themeelves-On
the way to the sepulchre the women
wondered how they were to gain amass
to the body of their Lord, thus showing
that they had no thought of his rising
from the dead. From none of the uar-
ratives do we gatherthe lelm that they
knew anything of the Roman guard, at
the tomb, or of the official eeal upon
the etone. Roll us away the etoee-
Tombs were 'hewn out of the side of a
seek, like a eave, large enough to.admit
iseveral pereous. In front of the opening
e groove two or three feet wide le cut
into the rock. Tide groove extends to
one side of the door, so that the circular
Stone, ,like a milletone, whieh closes the
tomb, an be rolled back. The groove ie
made deeper in front of the opening, so
that when the stone has dropped into ite
place, much force is nesessitry to roll it
back. 4. When they looked --They had
been wondering and plannine, but when
the time eame, the difficultice they had
feared had vanished. The stone was
' rolled away -This wee done by an angel
(Matt. 28: 2). • Jesus could have left
the tomb without having the stone rolled
. away, but his disciples could not have
entered with it still in poeition before
the door. It WaS very great -The teenb
was a new one, which had never been
ueed. Joeeph had made it with care,
providing for its being securely (dosed,
but with no idea of the first use to be
made of it.

5. -Entering into the sepulehre-if the
womenewere agrecebly surprised in find-
. ing the stone rolled 1Way, they were dis-
appointed in not finding there the, body
Of :Jesus." They saw a. young man sit-
ting -An angel appeared in this form.

your way -Their mission wee not to the
dead, but to the living. Tell his disci-
ples and Peter -Peter had, by his grie-
vous and wicked denial of Jesus, forfeit-
ed his right to be considered a disciple,
but he had sorrowfully regretted his act,
arid the divine message included a per-
sonal word for him. "Tell Peter, for it
will be news more weleome to him than
to any of them; for he is in sorrow for
sin, and. he will be afraid lest the joy
of this good news does not below."e'to

spoken before his arrest of his ap-
praching death end resurrection, and of
meeting his disciples ht Gallilee (Mark
14: 28.) S. They trembled and were
rotetzed-Matthew's account declares
that the woreen had joy also because of
what they had seen and heard (28: 8.)
Neither seed they anythin gto any man
--The women went forward with the
meseage to the diaciplee, not stopping
to make known the news to any by the
way.

PRACTICAL SIJIIVEY.

L Changed the lalialQU of women,

W. Proved the resurrection of Christ,
c.11'lleu the Slhlattli was past," There
never wee another MIMI. a Sabbath as
the .one described in 1,144 event, .04 that
day the fear of teat it rested like an im-
merse rock upon hemapity, but on hetale
er morn that weight of fear and dread
waS rolled away and a risen Christ pru.
chewed the glorious fact of an immor-
tal existence. ',Cc) Jesus, that Sabbath

try had e1ose..1. 1, tho disciplee t was
a Sabbath of grief, the deevst they lied

ple werships it Was a Sebbeth of guilt

of constant love and tenderness coupled
with strength and Y.Oal. Their love. true

tunny of expression. rt was uuntindfut
of obstacles. It formed its plans, mark-
ed it eourse, regarded ardently its ob-
ject, but took no aceount of the stenos
of difficulty which might appear, Very'
signal and very beautiful was the devo-
tion of thes women. What zeal was •ei
their love. They came with the pions
inteet of anointing the dead, bar in.44eal
they were eitointed with joy in reeeiving
the most -welcome tidings that ever fell
on mortal ear. Then were tbeliespirit
and purposes all changed. The new
work of hope was much better than tne
old errand of despair,
IL Brought an angel to Ohriet'e tomb.
Here was one more keeper than Pilate
had appointed: one more than the Jews
looked for about the sepulchre, Otte
whose countenance could daunt a legion
of the best Roman soldiere. The means
by which melt hoped to prevent the resur-
rection was made the occasion for glori-
ous triumph. The la,st phase of deri-
sion whit% Christ's eneades flung at him
was thefirst title under which he was
proclaimed by the angel from heaven,
"Jeeue, who was ermined." The morning
of the resurrection of AS1143 was distin-
guished .by the presence of the angels.
They had announced hie birth. Theyhad
been with him in his humiliation and
again with him in his glorious triumph
over death.
131 Proved. the resurrection of Ohrist.
Thehumiliation of Jesus reached its
lowest depths when lie "gave up the
ghost." His triniuph was supreme when
he arose from the dead. The presence
of the angel showed that he who had
been buried there was God as well as
wan.. His meseage proelaimed that he
who had died for all now lived for all.
Here we hays the tint gospel sermon
after the resurrection, The empty tomb
told of redemption perfected and excepted
of God. Christ's resurrection. verified all
his claims. It was a vindication of an-
cient prophecy as well as of the ,personal
character of the efeselaet. (Teams had just
the same eompaezionate heart after his
resurrection as before. Death could 310t
change the nature of hie heart, riorlbe
dieposition of his. soul. It seemed to be
hiH firet object to quiet the apprehen-
sion of hie. followers. He .giwo proof of
his readiness to forgive and to welcome
the sinner ihi sending first tidings of his
reerarrection to the men who bad all
fo lea ken kiln and fied. What change
that Roder message wrought upon, hie
grief-stricken followers! Jesus extended
the proof of his resurrection lee widely
at.; possible. He nutnifested himeelf in
the two extremes of the land to which
that dispensation was confiu.ed. The
blessings of the new diegeensation were
not todbe restricted, as had been thoee
of old. That first day of the week was
to Peter as life from the. dead, that he
should Intim been eingled out to receive
a word of forgiveness and a 'summons to
meet his Lord. Thus began the great
plan of reaching the world by the power
of the gospel.

to a question by Sir John D. Rees on

ONCE. A VOLCANO
Tunnel Under Mount Royal
Reveals Fact.
-Montreal despatch: In the course
of the work being done on the Can-
adian Northern Railway tunnel the
engineers nave found that Mount Roy-
al, under which the line will pass, was
at one time either an active volcano
or was made by lava being forced
up through the ground.
An interesting proof of the fact that
at 0110 time it great glacier flowed
from the Laurentian Mountains to the
St. Lawrence River was found lu the
entail heeding on St. Monique Street.
This was a piece of Laurentian gneiss
a rock peculiar to the Laurentian
Mountains and it isbelieved that in
the past ages this rock was carried
down by a glacier whieb, probably
emptied into the St. Lawrence River
not Par from the present harbor.
It is possible that. the plans of the
tunnel may have to be changed ow-
ing to a property owner securing an
injunction preventing it from paseing

CONDITIONS INTOLERABLE.
Asked' concerning his experience of
the houses occupied by the foreign pop-
ulation, Inspector Aliison described
them as unfit for habitation by man or
woman. Crowded and dirty, they offer-
ed. no ,privacy, and from a sanitary
standpoint the conditions which obtain-
ed in them were atrocious. Daring an
investigatiou last autumn the inspector
had visited in the comae of one even-
ing nine houses which supplied sleeping
accommodation to 505 persons. Those,
he said, slept on tho floors and tables,
and upon boxes, in their working cloth-
es in the same roma which are used for
eating and cookieg he and frequently
as many its twenty occupied ono room.
A report to the medical health depart-
ment resulted in the summoning of one
or two cases and the huposition of fines,
but beyond this nothing had been done.
