INTERNATIONAL LESSON,
JANUARY 11.
Lesson II. Mission of the Seventy.
Luke 10. 1-24. Golden Text,
Matt. 10.20.
Verses 1-3. Leaving Galilee be-
hind him, Jesus prepared to make
his last journey southward one of
helpful ministration and preaching.
To this end he "sent messengers"
ahead to prepare the way for his
coining. In one village of Samaria
these messengers were rejected on
the ground of narrow prejudice (9.
52-56); intb other towns received
them gladly.
Appointed seventy others in ad-
dition to the twelve -disciples to
assist in the work of preparing the
way for his coining into the vil-
lages and towns which it was his
purpose to visit. His appointment
of so large a number he explains
by pointing out the magnitude of
the harvest and the scarcity of
laborers, exhorting those whom he
was sending out that they pray the
Lord of the harvest for an even
greater increase of workers, but

Sodom—In the day of final judg-
ment the inhabitants of ancient So-
dom, destroyed because 01 its in-
iquity, shall still receive more leni-
ent treatment than those of the
towns and villages who rejected the
disciples of Jesus.
13-10. (Compare Matt. 11. 21-24,
where the denunciation of the
cities mentioned occurs in quite a
different connection.) Responsibil-
ity is equal to opportunity and pun-
ishment equal to responsibility.
Woe unto thee—The thought of
the cities which will reject his mes-
sengers and himself leads Jesus to
atter words of sorrowful condemn-
ation of those other cities in which
he had already labored, but which
had rejected him.
This. the first mention of Chora-
zin, which is thought to be identical
with Kerazeh, about two miles
northeast of modern Tell Hum, the
supposed site of Capernaum.
Bethsaida, also called Bethsaida
Julies, was a small city on the
northern shore of the ISea of Gali-
lee east of the Jordan River.
The mighty works which Janus
had performed in these cities are
not all recorded for 05 in the gos-
pel narratives, in which probably
only a small portion, of the actual
teaching and works of Jesus are
mentioned.
Tyre and Sidon—Two ancient
Phoenician pities on the eastern

will bring to them popular ap-
plause, but one rather fraught with
disappointment, hardship, and per-
secution. They will go forth as

Salute no man—The customary
wayside salutation of the East was
a long-drawn-out affair, and the
many salutations that would be
necessary on a much frequented
public highway would seriously de-
lay anyone whose message or er-
rand was one of haste 'and import-
ance, 'Such messengers were by
custom excused from the necessity
of making these formal salutations._

tered a hone, they were not to

Stockwell, England, where a hidden

been chiefly famous _for its ghost,
which set all London to an uproar in
1772. Making the furniture dance and
thecrockery fall was - the ghost's'
specialty, though .by way of varlety
an egg once flew across the room. and
bit'the cat, Having excited London,
and frightened Stockwell, the ghost
retired, leaving behind a firm belie
in his supernatural origin, until many
years later a servant admitted that
long horse hairs attached to , the
crockery and wires to the furniture
had enabled Iter to play the ghost so
sttecessfully that frightened beholders
never even detected such open feats

PAPER ART
IGLERY.
A Sltbstitute for Steel in Certain
Kind of Cannon.
The extent to which paper to -day
takes the place of iron and wood and
steel in the manufacture of many art-
icles is surprising. The paper water -
pail is now so well-known that it no
longer seems unusual; paper wheels
for railway -ears are common, if less
familiar. London Tit -Bits describes a
project for the most remarkable of
all uses of paper -as a substitute for
steel in a certain kind of cannon.
The famous Krupp works, in Ger-
many, have already manufactured
some of these paper cannon. They
are field -pieces designed for the spe-
cial use of infantry. Their caliber is
a little less than two inches, and they
are so light that a soldier can easily
carry one, The advantages of that
facility of transportation are, of
muse, tremendous; And, strange as
it may seem, the resistance of these
paper gums is greater than that of
steel field -pieces be the same caliber.
Tito paper cannon are net intended
to supplant those shade of steel, They
are merely for use in situations where
the movement of heavy field -artillery
would be impracticable.
