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.

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.

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),

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.

tion of desperation. Wo note hint the

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

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,

tion of all lands.

with itis wife when a servant entered
and told knit that a little girl was in
the hall and w'ished'lo sec 111111. The
ducky replied that he could not be wor-
ried at that time of the evening and re-
quested Elio child to stale her errand.

Once more the servant returned, and
said that the little girl would not leave
until she had seen Ilia great doctor. So

The doctor said to ler: "You are very
ill with diptherie, and ought to be ^e-
mm'ed to a proper hospital. Think 31
the danger your daughter is running."
The 880111011 burst into leers and said
she had no daughter, "lout," said the
physician, "your little girl has just been

ing to you.' The pone woman again
