cautiously looking at the globrilar

while we ware looking at tho wonder-

struck with something that tient us
shrieking away. The hornet goes in
Swarnis. It has captains, over hun-

on one man will produce certain
death. The Persians attempted to

My friends, when we are assaulted
by great Behemoths of trouble, we
became chivalric, and we assault
them ; we get on the high-mettied

a cavalry charge at them, and, if

But alas! for the insectile annoy -

I have notined in the history of

. Again, these small insect annoy-

of friends and acquaintances who are
. always saying disagreeable things.
There are some people that you cant -
not be with for hell an hour but you
feel cheered and comforted. Then
there are other people You cermet be

they sting yon to the bone. They

heartily when they tell you, as though

15. While they communed together.
The word is the sante as that traus-
lated "talked" in verse 14. In both
places the Revised Version uses "conn
maned." Jesua ;himself drew near.
See Matt. 18. 20. Pox a traveler on a
highway to join their ciam,pany would
not be strange. l'et'pirituai lessons
spring up thickly through ell thie
story. Christians should always be
ready to 'talk to getter" about Jesus;
and always when they so "commune"
Jesus lainaself draws near.

direct idiom, evould say, "1tnhat are

and are Sad.. Literally, "Of s.ad
countenance." But the Revised Ver-
sion put the question after the
words, "as ye walk." a.nd throws the
rest into an,obleer sentence, "And, they
stood stilt looking sad." Their ut-
ter dejection' could not fail tio ar-
rest Ole attention of a stranger.

Here also there is a notable change
made by Alio Revision: "Dost thou

of the late happenings, which have
not only Ibsen the town talk for days,
but •ha'vee stirred therlatiOirl',3' ecOlesi-
aStieal and pelitieal rulezei as even as
t.he populaue?"
19. Concerning Jesus of Nazareth.
The items were too ,many to tell at
once A prophet mighty in deed and
evord. Such a one as Moses had fore-
told. See Acts 7. 37. It' Was still clear
in this man's mind that Jesus had
been a prophet approved of God, and
recognized by the people.. It required
not a lottle of manhood at the unpopta:
lar crisis to say so, but Cleopas threw
himself back on the deed and word,
the behaviour and teaching, of the
Galilean rabbi as positive proof. He
,would, of course, know that it was
a' felloev-Jew he was talking. to.
29.. The thief priests. The heirarchy,
including the Sanhedrin.' Our rulers
may refer to the Romans. A "pro-
-phet," should have been honored, but
this one was trucified.
21, 22. We trusted. "We hoped "-
that is, until we saw him crucified.
He which thould have redeemed Is-
rael. If they 'had known the nature
of the promised redemption they
would have understood that it was
tmcomplislied by those very suffer-
ings. To-dn,y is the third day since
these things were done. Here would
seem to .he a timid :recollection of our
Lord's prophecy that he would rise
again on the third day. But even
this hope now Seems to have fai'led.
Nevertheless, lf it Were not ineonceiv-
able we would be tempted to believe
that his words had actnally come to
pass, for tertain women also of our
company made us ' astonished. One
cannot follow this conversation with-
out profound respect for Cleopas.
Here is a solid, ,square man, who with
modest boldness identifies himself
with the imorned followbrs of Jesus.
So marvelous a story told by "wo-
men," would expose, it ,believersto
ridicule; and to .openly champion the
cause of Jesus just now, might be) to
endanger life. .

Matt. 5, 22, but a general 'Phrase'.

Mystery of Sleep-insornraia a Warning oil
Overwork or Approaching, Nervous Collapse
Which is Not to -be Lightly Disregarded,
truth of which a man returning
from South Africa vouches.
At the height of the transport dif-
ficulties, Lady Roberts carried eight
trunks from Cape Town, to Bloem-
fontein, in the very, teeth of the offi-
cere.
Everybody wondered, everybody
grumbled. No one but Lady Roberts
could have taken the things through.
The. transport of 'stores had been
stopped for the time, the sick lacked
every comfort, and those who were
not sick were half-starved, and only
half-clad. Therefore, when a fa-
tigue party- wee told , off to fetch
those eight trunks from Bloemfon-
tein station, some rather uncompli-
mentary things were etticl about wo-
men travellers in general and this hit -
est transgressor in particular.
Next day neven of the eight trunks)
were unpacked, and their content9
distributed among the Isoidiers. The
clever lady enapped loar finger
at red tape, and had en -niggled through
corrifents for the Men. One srnall
trunk contained her pereonal belong-
ings.
