When God Educates the Soul He
Does It In Solitude.
A despateh from Brooklyn, N.

No mao. eareth for 713y 50111.
A.: year ago a young num came to
the' city to make Ilia fortune. 1.!uritig
ell these months he hes been working
up to tho limits of his strength,
with, long hours, little OnY, IlltlW

deferred. His home is a ;maiming

counts me a cog in the machine. You
little know the loneliness of a young
man in Now York. Oh! 1 know what
is meant by the words, No man

Pentbtless this youth stands for a
great multitude in the city. These
lonely ones throng our streets and

that this loneliness indicates -Oust
this youth is now being receieed into
the guild of worthy souls, All the
great hours oe life are lived alone.
In death ,u1so tho soul is alone and
solitary.- Alone, Paul writes: "I
have no man -of like faith with nte."
Solitary, every hero walks through
the city. Alone' Geliieo made his
stand and went along, his vla dolor-

tempted in the desert: alone, He suf-
fered in Gethsemane. Uow pathetic

loneliness for a single hour, Alone,

God educates the soul Ile does it in

Lesson I. Jesus the Good Shep-
herd. Golden Text,
John x., 11.
' LESSON WORD STUDIES,
A Sequel, -The discourse of Jesus
concerning himself as the Good
Shepherd came as a sequel to his
healing the man horn blind (see les-
son for March 19). The cure has
been wrought on a Sabbath day, and
had thus allordeti to -the Jews" a
pretext for violently antagonizing
Jostle. When, therefore, the man
\those sight had been restored cour-
ageously testified for his benefactor
and refused 1,0 deny him, the Jews
turned egninst this man also and
coat bire out of the synagogue, that
is, excommunicated him. Jesus, hear-
ing of this, sought out the man and
encouraged him to cling in faitli to
the Son of Clod. At this point the
Phariseesprite intrude with their
presence, whereupon Jesus takes the
opportunity to Lim:lore that be alone,
and tot the officers of a Jewis11 sy-
nagogue or anyone else, had power
to admit to, or exchule from, the
company of God's chosen people,
This truth he. clothes in the form of
a parable, in which he speaks of a

Verse 7. Again -Jesus had shortly
'before spoken a parable intended to
c0nve3r the samo teaching concerning
himself (verses 1-5), but in its para-
bolic form those who hoard him
speak had not underst ood that
teaching (verse (3).
Verily, vorily,-A form of solemn
emphasis with which Jesus introduc-

Thieves and robbers -A thief
("kleptes") will steal secretly, using
stealth: the robber plunders openly,
using violence. The arrangement
of the words is therefore climacteric.
These false teachers were deceivers
of the people, anti where deception
failed of its purpose they used vio-

measures to obey their precepts.

THE PETOLOSOPHY 01' WORK.
Man's Highest Dignity Lies in
Honest Labor.
There is a growing tendency Mani-
fested in various ways to regard
work as merely a means of reaching
a state of idleness. The prevailing
mental attitude seems to be that
the only starclard successisefiches,
and that the only way to attain
hoppinest is with the least possible
exertion to become a man of leisure,
and to be able to dawdle through life
with nothing to do. It requires hut
little examination of the real bests
of happiness, or knowledge of human
nature anti the conditions under
which we are placed where We are, to
show the falseness of this position.

Your Directors have Pleasure 01 submitting their 85111 Annual Report

of any former year, being 3,452 Policies for $5,048,163, all of which, ex -

in force is 840,470,070.58 under 127,742 policies, the eet addition for the
yeae being $2,880,11.9. While many of our native Companies are seeking
business abroad, some of them in distant parts of the world, it is
thought by our Directors that good Canaclinn business is preferable to
foreign business, which is secured with less certainty as to its quality,
and at excessive cost.
