INTaonyomioal-This chapter touches on the duties which a true disciple of Jesus owes o his neighbor. Among these dt'_ties a first place is given to a generous feeling toward theis, while: a severe judgment is passed upon the habit of unloving criticism. It is, of q"onr•Se, necessary for us to exercise our power of judgment, and we cannot help but feel the distinction. between right and wrong; but Jesus is here condemning the censorious spirit; which is unfortunately very widely spread. An old writer . n this subject gave three excellent rules: (1) Judge not without necessity; (2) judge not without knowledge; (8) judge not without love. L THD GOLDEN RULE, v. 12. V. 12. This so-called "Golden Rule" is a law fit for universal application, and we night say that society will be getting near its final form, if this had become the rule' by which each one guided his life. If, before we did any- thing to others, we stopped, and put ourselves into their position, rnd de- cided to do to them what we -would like to have others do to us, then the worries and troubles of the world would be greatly reduced, If business and government and family life were run on this principle, we would have hone of the quarrels and wars which Declares -Vancouver Garrison - Would Have I.eta ned Alaska Policy Was Recommended by Hudson's Bay Company Governor Long Years Ago' Had the; policy of Sir George Simp- to British Columbia, included Mauch son, the empire -building governor of of Wisconsin and Minnesota, Oregon, the Hudson's Bay Company in 1821, Washington, California, Alaska, the been followed and Port Vancouver Aleutian islani1S,,'and .even a trading garrisoned at the request and expense post., at Honolulu. of that company as had been done at This great development came un - Fort Garry, Canada to -day would have der the governorship of Sir George included not only Alaska but all of Simpson.

Life is likened to different roads. One road is wide and attrac- tive. It seems to offer many pleasures and other inducements, but it leads to ruin. ' It is the way of injustice, sheer pleasure and intemperance. The other road is the path of virtue, of temper - since and of goodness, but it is narrow and difficult at first. However, it ieads to a noble goal, foe it brings one to the fulness of life. V. 15. "The Two Trees," It was Very natural that Jesus should wish to warn his disciples` against other 'teachers, who set forth doctrines that tended to undermine character and truth. There were many who went about seeking to induce their hearers to fallow that which was not good, dust as today there are many who set forth false teaching. AL kinds of Ideas get into circulation.
