The Brussels Post, 1906-11-15, Page 2Many People With Shelves and Larders Filled Are Yet Pitiably Poor. Man shall not itve by bread alone, but by every word that proceecleth out Of the mouth of God.--Nfatt. iv., 4, There are lives that have bread In abundance and yet are starved; with bares and warehouses filled, with shelves and hurlers laden they are empty and hungry. No mal creed envy there; their feverish, restless whirl is but the search ter a satisfaction never to be found in Wags,Called rich In a word where nc. others are more truly, pitiably poor, having all, yet lacking because they have neglected the things within. The abundance of bread is the cause of many a man's deeper hunger. Having known nothing of the discipline that develops life's hidden sources of satis- faction, nothing of the struggle hi which deep calls unto deep and the true life finds itself, he spends his days seeking to satisfy his soul with furniture, with houses and lands, with yachts and mer- chandise, seeking io feed his heart cn things, a process of less promise and reason than feeding a snapping turtle on thoughts. If the heart be empty the life cannel be filled. The flop must cease at the faucet if the fountains go dry. The prime, the elemental necessities of our being are for the life rather than the body, IIs house. But, alas, how often nut of the marble edifice issues the poor emaciated lnmete, how out of the life having many things comes that which amounts to no- thing. TIIE ESSENTIAL THINGS. are not often those which most readily strike our blunt senses. We see the shell first. To the undeveloped mind the material is all there is. But looking deeper into life there comes an awaken- ing to the fuct and the signilicance of the spiritual, the feeling that the rea- son, the emotions, the joys and pains that have nothing to do with things, the ties that knit one to the infinite, all constitute the permanent elements of life. Because man is a spirit his life never can consist vitally in things; he must come into his heritage of the soul wealth of all tihe ages; he must reach out, though often as in the dark, until across the void there conies voices, the sages and the sneers, the prophets and the poets speaking the language of the soul, In these he !Inds his food nor can his deeper hunger be assuaged un- til !t thus is fed. Because nra11 is a spirit and gradilel- ly is corning into the dominant spirit Itte in which things shall court fur less and thought and character for more, 11.' seeks after his own kind. The deeps of 1111 have their relationships. The spirit of ratan cries out after the father o' spirals. 13y whales er name ,,nen have called the most high they ever have sought after Min the eternal who would be one with them in soul, in all that Is essential 11011 abiding in being. Every religion, every philosophy, every endeavor after character and truth ,s but the cry of humanity for word with God. Hearing his word on any lip the heart of man ANSWERS WITH JOY. The words of eternal truth have been the food of the great in alt ages. Faint- ing in the fight the message from the unseen, the echo of everlasting verities has revived their spirits; they have fought the fight that despises things and seeps truth. Who would not exchange a loess 1',f pottage for (he benedielton from a fa- ther's lips? Who is so dead be no long - 07 finds more satisfaction in truth and love and beauty than in food or furni- ture? And why are we so foolish asstill te seek to satisfy ourselves with things that perish, while down to the least blade. of creation earth is laden with un - fading riches, God Is everywhere, and every open heart may hear his voice? If we might but learn this lesson, we people of the laden hand and the emp- ty heart, that since life is more than digestion and man more than beast cr machine, since determining all is the spiritual world, they only are wise who set first things first, who use the gar- nered experience of the past and the opportunities of the present to the en- riching of the soul, who listen among all the voices of time for the words that proceed from the lips of him who in habiteth eternity. JTHE. � S. LESSON INTERNATIONAL LESSON, NOV. 18. Lesson VII. Jesus Before Caiaphas. Golden Text: Isa. 53.3. TUE LJ1$SON WORD STUDIES. Note.—The text et the Revised Version is used us a busts for these Word Studies. Auras and Cafaphas.—Annus, the son of Seth, was high priest of the Jews from A. D. 6 a1 7 to A. D. 15. Even after being deprived of his high -priestly office by the Boman authorities lie still retained in a large measure both the power and the dignity of his former station among the Jews. Five sale and Ono son-in-law (Calaphas) succeeded him in turn in the 011100 of high priest. Tho family of Anoas belonged to the old Sadducean aristocracy and derived its immense wealth, in part at least, from a n:unopoly which the family held on the sale of alt kinds of articles neces- sary in 00nneelton with the sacrifices offered in the temple. It was the sons of Armes whine Jesus accused ot malt- ing his Father's house a "den of thieves" nnd it was the vassal salesmen of this high -priestly fancily whom Jesus had driven from the owes of the temple. So strong was the influence 01 Amies in the Sanhedrin that even dur- ing the ihcumhency of his sons and sun -in-law in office he remained the real power in Jewish religious affairs. It was for this reason that. "the bund and the chief captains; end the officers of the 7etys;" who had seized Jesus and bound him, "led hint to Annus fleet" as John is 110,01111 to point out (Jelin 18. 12, 13). in John, also es well as in Acts, Annus is given the title, "high prlesli," though in the narrative of Jolm at least R 13 evident that line narrator 18)18 fully away of the relation between Annns and Calaphas and also Of the fact that the inner was the actual incumbent of the °Aire. Calaphas, (00, was a roan of strong though wicked character. IL was lie professing to fear tint the popular denrnnslrelion in favor of jolts con- nected with the triumphal ergo and Mime evenis would bring upon .the, elty the displeasure of the Roman authori- ties, counseled the Jews hint it were) better "that one man should die for the people and that the whole name perish not" (John 15. 50)1 thus, as the. evan- gelist points out, becoming uncorn- sciously a priestly prophet of the atone - meld.. It 'was ratnplins who took the leading port 01 the first informal meet- ing of,the Snnlirdrin mentioned in the text of our to -day's 108800. Versa 57.

The scribes and the elders—Members of the Sanhedrin who had been 11851)1 l summoned to an informal meeting shortly after midnight. Matthew is careful to mention the more formal ses- sion of the Sanhedrin which occurred in the morning: "Now when morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people look counsel against Jesus to put him to death.." 58. Court of the high priest—A court in the high -priestly palace. From the Garden of Gethsemane Jesus had been taken first to A.nnos; thence after a brief examination, recorded in John 18. 10-23, to CaIaphns in another part of the same building. Here some members of the Sanhedrin had !tastily gathered, and the first informal trial of Jesus took place at night (Comp. Mark 14. 52-05; Luke 22. 54, 63-65). Early in the morning n second and more formal trial was !held by Ilia Sanhedrin (Comp. Luke 22. 66-71; Matt. 27. 1; Mark 15. 1). Later., probably between five and seven o'clock in the morning occurred rho trial be- fore Pilate which consisted of two parts, in the intermission between which Jesus was sent by Pilate to Herod (Comp. Luke 23. 1-25; Mntt. 27, 11-31; Mark 15. 1-20; John 18. 28-10, 1.6), 60. Afterward came two—The number required to convict a prisoner of 0 CI'in1e. 61. The temple—Or, Sanctuary. Build it in three days The actual words of Jesus referred to are found in 70110 2. 10, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." 1t is to he noted that while Jesus referred to his death and resurrection Mier three days, in the words quoted, yet from his use of the words in connection with' his cleansing of the temple, and in answer to a challenge of the Jews to shote them a sign establishing his authority. it was easy* to place upon ilia words of Jesus the mistaken interpretation 18111011 the Jews gave to then, it indeed it was pos,)1 ;e for those who heard him to understand 1118 words hi any other sense. 62. Anstvereth thou nothing?—A ques- tion of desperation. Wo note hint the aherge uuute 1>.v the two witnesses and referred to in the preceding verse was not pushed ogninst Jesus try the Jews. 63. I adjure thee by the living God— Cahiphas, despairing of finding any charge of serious import against the prisoner, abruptly challenges him on the real point at issue bolwcen himself and the 7etvish authorities, namely, his Messianic claims, Ills challenge is put into the form of this solemn demand, Tell 115 whether thou art the Christ, lh,h Son of God. This challenge to definitely decbere !himself with regard to bis Mes- sianic cl0ims Jesus answered unflinch- ingly and with full knowledge of whet Ihe ennsequences of a.definite and public denlm'nlion of ids divinity would he to Himself. 64. Henceforth ye shall sec the Son oI Man silting at the right 110011 of Pnweh —As 11 Jesus had said, "1 an indeed the Christ, the Son of the living God, and heneefneth ye shall see horn whom ye have known 115 O'son of Man' :tanned t'1 the dignity of the Son of fiud" 05.

PERILSOFTW FAR NORTH EXTRACTS FROM Tut DIARY OF CONSTABLE SELLER. A Record of hardship and Endarnnec by a Member 01 the Northwest Mounted Police. The qualities of the men who com- pose the Royal Northwest Mounted Police have often been demonstrated, but rarely have fidelity, devotion to duty, feau'lessness, unselfishness, and indomitable determination been mani- fested in greater degree than was dis- played last winter in a journey made by Constable Seller, amounting in all to. about 005 miles. The trip was made in company of Interpreter Ford and an Eskimo named Tupealock. It was undertaken for the purpose of locating the whereabouts of a Scottish ship, the Ernest William, and ascertaining her liability to the customs duty for sup- plies imported. . Constable Sellers probablyereceives pay to the amount 'of about a dollar and a half a day, but,. without a murmur, he entered upon and successfully accomplished a journey at- tended by GREAT HARDSHIPS, and which many an explorer would hove been proud of relating. Tho recital of Seller's trip is contained in a diary, which has just been received at the Mounted Police Department. Nothing more modest or unaffected than his ac- count of the long journey and the drill• cullies met with and surmounted could be imagined. Constable Seller, with his two com- panions and a dog team of ten, leit Fullerton, on tie west coast of Hud- son's Bay, on February 21st last. They returned on April 11111), having been ex- posed for two months to the rigors of an Arctic winter. Tho only casually was a frost-bitten leg of one dog that was left behind at Lyon's Inlet. On the. way to their destination and back in- tensely cold weenier was encountered;; and many blizzards. AL night snow houses would be built for shelter, called by the Eskimos "igloos," Herds oI lit were seen, and several were shot for food. For a couple of days, however, both men and dogs were on short ra- tions. Had it not been for falling in with a party of natives they would at one time hove been in desperate straits. For a great part of the journey the food had to be eaten frozen, because the alco- hol and wood gave out. HERE ARE A FEW EXTRACTS, which show the nature of the hardships encountered on the journey:—"We have only fifty pounds of deer meat, two pounds of pemmican, and six pounds of hailed meat for ourselves and the ten dogs, so we must find natives. Very cold day. I had both my feet badly frozen. My footgear is in a very bad state—wet and worn out. We were compelled to break up some barrels to cook food, as we had been subsisting on frozen meat for the last three doys," "Terrible snowstorm. Impossible to go out looking for natives. Our dogs are getting hungry, as they have had no- thing for three days. We cannot possi- bly gtvo them anything out of wthat small supply we have for ourselves. My feet are very sore, the result of frost burns." "Bad storm, but not nearly so bad as yesterday. I sent Ford and Tupealock out to look for natives. They returned at 5 p.m., bringing us information that cheered us quite n little. The ship they learned was at 'Melachuseetuck,' the plapo where ghosts chase women. They brought some meat for the dogs, and said the natives, who belonged to the N)lulick tribe, would come in the learn- ing with as much meat as they 0011(1 spare." "Still.storming. Finished up all our Meet for breakfast. About noon the natives 0111110 111, bringing about 400 pounds of meat, which I purchased from them. It was nenl'ly all seal meat. We 10und it rattle' high all by itself, but hunger is a great sauce." hl due course the party reached the vessel for which they were searching, and received a iIEAh1T'Y SCOTTISH WELCOME from her commander, Captain Murray, who fitted them out with stores for the return journey, 1le80 13 the lest item 111 Constable Seller's diary:• -- "April 10111.
