Travelers have climbed into the stur-
day bush, which was strong enough
to bear them up. Fowls of the air
lodged among the branches of the
tree. The mustard plant attracts
many birds because of the food its
seeds provide for them. The .kingdom
of God, humble in its beginnings am-
ong mesa, is destined to spread am-
ong all nations. Compare this parable
with the vision reeorded in Dan. 2,

land is setting forward the kingdom
of God among men.

• Questions.- What parables are in-
cluded in the lesson? 'What truth is
taught by each? Wbat is •the kingdom
of God? What questioii was asked
Jesus? What does it mean to strive
to enter the strait gate? What
lUus-
tratjon is used to show the danger of
delay? Who are •to be shut out of the
kingdom? What are the conditionof
entering heaven? -
• PRACTICAL SURVEY.
Topia-Christ's kingdom.
I. Its scope and importance.
II, The character of its subjects.
111. Its endurance against opposi-
tion.
I. Its scope and importance. In
these two parables the growth. of
Christ's glorious kingdom was fore-
shadowed ' by natural grewths from
very small beginnings. The mustard
seed portrays its strangely rapid
growth. The leaven treats of the migh-
ty inward transformation which it ef-
fects In the hearts of men. The ' Mas-
ter viewed its end froni the beginning.,
He 'looked on to a time when all na-
tions should worship Him and ac-
knowledge His glorious sovereignty
and to a perfected growth and trium-
phant state of the gospel kingdom.
The very small beginning he could
discern in what then surrounded him.
In view of what the disciples would
have to suffer as His followers afore
they witnessed the triumphant growth
of his kingdom, these illustrations
were given to reassure them as to
their wise choice and the grandeur
of their positioo in his kingdom. Tliey
were assured that the Christian re-
ligion was designed for universal ex-
tension and perpetual duration, for
the accOmplishment of the most stup-
endous revolution the world could
ever see. The lowliest life ever lived
on earth Was to be infinitely the
most fruitful. They could be engaged

faithful followers, who should be

tion in its infan. An honorable and
important work was committed to

.
sto do for succeeding genera -
IL The character of its subjects. In
proportion to the scope and importance
of any kingdom is the stringency of
the condition of entrance. As Jesus
was journeying steadily toward .Teru-
salem, the people saw that a crisis was
at hand; hence their anxiety to know
how many would be saved in the new
aingdom. The questioner evidently
hoped to be confirmed in the national
persuasion that God was not the God
of the Gentiles. Ifis question related
to the few who might -be saved. The
answer directed tliought to the many
who were in danger of being log. Tae
question was speculative. The answer
was an appeal to immediate -action and
earnest endeavor. The censure was
upon the spirit and motive of the man,
an exclusive and self-righteous spirit.
The great point with. Jesus was to urge
earnestness in the matter of salvation.
That so many fail by taking a wrong
totule was a- warning to make sure of
taking the right course. Jesus. adapted
his reply to what the man's question
should have been, rather than what it
was. He wee instructed as to the per-
sonal and individual character cf. true
religion and the supreme importance
�f 'personal Piety. t • • • .••
DT. Its endurance against Opposition.
The message which the Pharisees
brought touching Herod's attitude to-
ward Jeans drew from hint A, prompt
and sharp rejoinder. His aeswer was
to the effect that no suck threats emild
influence hie purpose or hasten his
departure. He knew that his life was
more secure in Herod's domain than it
would be in Jerusalem. jestte singled
Herod out as crafty and subtle. trying
to do by intrigue what he egad not
00 openly. Ile Was a mere minting,
designing, mare only courageous when
no danger was at hand, scheming and
plotting in his den, but having no true
bravery at heart. Jesus saw bis
inner heart, hie real quality. He was
•felse to Isis religion, false to his nation,
false to his friends, his brethren and
las wile. The naine applied to hint
was not an epithet. It was hie °tw-
eeter delineated in a word, the man
summed up in a syllable. The Phari-
sees did not sueceed in deterring Jesus
froni his purpose, but they -touched' the
feuntain of "a divine sensibility" in
las breast. -A ery of intense tentow
mimed his lips, the sorrow of wound-
ed but agonizing love. His lament
over Jerusalem showed what his heart
was toward all mankind. Ite knew
What the judges and rulers of Jerusa-
lem would condemn him to death, yet
he yearned over them. His appeal to
Jerusalem was a wonderful expression
of his deep desire to save, from ruin
the worst of Inen. Ile looked back
through the past ages Of Jerusalem's
history. R. was it dark and gloomy
contemplation. It 'had ever been the
place of death for the prophets cif the
Lord. The poliey of the nation was

Five Charges of Assault
Laid Against Him.
Dublin, Manch 16 -Leading a march
on the Lord Mayor's home at the head
of an anmy of the unemployed, Cap-
tain White, son of Field 1Warahall Sir
George Stuart White, defender of
Ladysmith during the Boer war, met
a baton charge of the police so fiercely
that five accusations of assault were
lain against Mint- These were made by
a Police inspector, a sergeant of police,
two ptaicemen and the driver of a
mail wagon. Captain White, 'Wielding
a large club, inflicted severe wounds
oa Inspector Purcell, who led the
police. During the brief, but sanguin-
ary riot, many heads among the at-
tacking and defending forces were
broken, amongthem that of Captain
White.
Captain James Robert White, form-
erly of the First Gordon Highlanders,
was one of the. leaders in the move-
ment started in Dublin to organize a
national force to uphold the authority
of the crowd and Government of Ire-
land, on the same lines as the Ulster
force, which Sir Erward Carson, the
Ulster leader, was organizing. Captain
'White, who went through the ' Houth
African war with distinction, receiving
the Queen's and King's and Distin-
gaished Orders Service Medals, re-
signed his commissioa in the army in
order tn. organize a Nationalist force,
and started his work by recruiting the

Huerta Asks U. S. to Re-

Ban Antonio, Texas, March 16 -Ap-
plication for the release of Mexican
Federal soldiers:interned at Port Miss
was filed to-dasa.
According to h recent announcement
of attorneys for the Mexicans, release
of the prisoners is asked under a con-
tention that The Hagee Treaty does
not apply to this case. A section of
that treaty prevides that, when the
tercets of either of two nations at war
enter a third Country, they shall be
interned for the period of the conflict.
Atteasys for the Mexicans declare this
does not cover a purely tivil strife.
It was intimated when the first an-
nouncement was made that the case
would Pe carried to the United Statee
Supreme Court, if necessary.
The United' States War Department
will resist to the utmost the release
of the prisoners at this time, on the
ground of • public policy. Aside from
other questions involved, it is held
that the community would be imperil-
ed by the presence of several thou-
sand homeless and unsheltered and
unfed Mexicans. The refugees are
railitary prisoners, held or "interned"
under the provisions of international
law. There are said to be no court
decisions in this country to serve as a
precedent in the ease. •%!

seemed to be paralyzed. 7 had been
using doctor's medicine for a long
time, issit it did not seem to heirs me,
and the doctor finally told me that the
ouly thing that would cure me -would
be a change of climate. At, this time
I decided to give Dr. 'Williams' Pink
