On August 13 the Tsult-1i-Ya- men begged to he excused trona hold- ing a oonforonoe, saying the numbers were too busy. Later' the board wrote that they had forbidden further firing on the Legations, and that they would court-martial anyone who disobeyed, but that evening tilers was the sharp- eat general firing.

Gaselee, the commander of the Bri- tish forces at Pekin, has telegraphed to the War Office as follows :— " At —"At a 'confereuee, August 12, it was agreed that the allies should con- eentrate within five miles of Pekin, August 14, and the assault should be- gin August 15. The attack, however, oommenoed barly lin the morning of August' 14, and our troops had to make a forced maroh of 15 miles from Tung - chow in great beat. ' We were on the extreme left, and attacked the soaith-east gate of the Chinese city.

Verse 1, '1'be Lord appointed other seventy also, Revised Version ; " sev- enty others," referring not to any pre- viously^appointed seventy, but to the twelve. That the selection of twelve apostles was symbolical is evident from several passages, notably, from the promise that they should sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel, Severity, sometimes' seventy-two had grown among the Jews to be almost as seared a number as twelve. Moses had Wiesen seventy alders to assist him in the govern- ment of the new-born nation, and, too cording to tradition, when the nation had its second birth the elders wbom Ezra sufnemoned to be his counselors were seventy or seventy-two in num bar; as a oonsequence the Sanhedrin numbered seventy; and when the He- brew Scriptures were turned into Greek it was by seventy elders. Fol- lowing the traditions and the senti- ments of his bountrymen, Jesus now selects seventy disciples to proclaim him. This oommiseion is not notioed by the evangelists. Its spacial ob- ject was to prepare the way for our Lord's tour through Pares. This was he occasion described by Matthew, when "Jesus went about all the cities and villages," teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and 12eaning every sickness and every disease among the people.

According to Matthew Jesus spoke these words! when he saw the multitudes, and was moved, with compassion for them, be- cause they fainted, and were scattered, abroad as sheep having no shepherd. Pray ye, itherefore, the Lord of the harvest, that he would sant north, "blsrustforth," laborers into his har- vest. The disciples were to pray body' as a condition of fulfillment and as a means whereby their own spirits might be prepared for the wank. See the promise of Jer. 15. 3, 4. Bare the more detailed he struotions to the seventy begin. These instructions enjoin greater haste and imply greater present danger than in the case of the previ- ous mission of the twelve apostles. Hence the special injunction, salute no man by the way. Avoid the leng- thy and ceremonious salutations then, as now, common in the East. Com- pare 2 Icings 4. 20. Our Lord's first warning was singularly picturesque and pathetic: I send you forth as lambs among wolves. Human lang- uage could not more startlingly de- scribe the ooutrast between guileless nesses and conscienceless hatred, be- tween helplessness and organized 11•':0- 4x:51, hostility, for "as lambs" is the only way in which heavenly virtue can "go forth" in this world, Our Lord's kingdom is not of this world, else would his servants fight, and while there have been bogus and sham Ch.rietianities that have sought to spread themselves by fighting and persecution, the "simplicity of Jesus" has only one possible method for its dissemination.
