V. 14. These things, The crucifixion,
and ped+haps the reported resurrection
of Jeans were the topic of their con-
ve'n7ation,
V. 15. Jesus . . drew near. While
they were t'h'scrbed in 'thought and
conversation, Jesus came upon them
unn'otized from behind.
V. 16. Vaai'aus eonjectures have
been offered for their failure to rec'og-
nllze Jesus±—that they were emotion-
ally unstrung, thet'his appearance hied
been disfigured by the sufferings on
the crass, or that he appeared in a
transformed: body. The evangelist
ev'id'ently believed that this was the
...work of God himself upon their eyes,.
• II. The Conversation, 17-27.
V. 18. To Oleopas it was incredible
than an inhabitant of Jerusalem or a
pilgrim to the pasrover there, should
be unacquainted with the stirring
events of the crucifixion. It was the
talk of the t-'tay in Jemtusalem.
V. 19, A prophet. This much at least'
was certain concerning Jesus, that he
was a prophet His teachings and' his
worsts 'attested that the spirit of God
was in him in a unique way.
V. 20. The chief priests. According
to a oonoes_ccn of the Romans, the
Jewish Sanhedrin had to right to d'e-
elare according to their own religious
laws upon whom the death sentence
should he passed, but the Romans re-
served the right to oaery out the sen-
tence. Thos the Thief priests were
ultimately responsible for the death
. of Jesus,
V. 21. We trusted, etc. Not only had
the two recognized Jesus as a peopleet,
but they had had hopes that lie would

Israel from the yoke of foreign op-
pression. Up to this time no Jew had
thought that the Messiah would have
to 's'uffer death to achieve his end, and
eo the death of Jesus ebabtered their
braes. The third' day. They had dim
r'eeoffections of Jame' prediction that
on the third day the would, rise again
(v, 7), but It was now the third day
and he bad not yet appeared to them.
V. 22. Their hopes•, however, were
stirred by the favorable report of the
women. Although they did not regsaxl
this report as merely Idle gossip, they
were: not in a position to establish it
as entirely trnstwortlhy.
V. 25. Fooiie, and slow of heart, etc.
The two had shown a .gross lack of
urtdlerstanding in their reading of the
prepthets. For, according to Jesus,
the p're'phats' had pointed forward to
just such a Messiah as himself, It is
worthy cf note that here Jesus re-
gardts his death and resuereetion as
the fulfilment of prophecy.

instance, that Ise., ea. 53 referred to

himseai with the ±suffering selwamt of
that passage. "Accardi'fug to th^ de-

V. 27, McNees, and the . prophets.
The three divisions of. the Old Tesba-
l-nent were known to the Jeans as the
Law (the books of lapses), the previa
ets'amsl the writings. Thus Jesus gave
them a sunning conunenitary on all
the references' in the Old Testament to
the Messiah.

this unusual procedure helped the two
to recognize him. Took bread, etc. In
'Palestine bread be torn apart by the
liana, and sometimes the host tears it
I off immself and then offers it to the
guests. It has been commonly thought
that Jesus had a way, peculiar to him-
lself, of brealoing and+ Miessing the
bread. If so, tloLs, too would help the
two to recognize him.
Application.
Many valuable lessons may be
drawn from this Fester narrative.
1. Our unawareness of the Great
Comlpeanon'a nearness to us. Many
think that Christ is mediated to us
by a priest or sacrament or church.
But he is near to us as our breathing.
We hare but to hear' his voice, and our
hearts will burn -within us. It is a
constant ssuspriete to us, this nearness
of the Great Ooiniaesaion, and his
;readiness to join in our wayside con-
vemsetion, and revive our sinldng
faith,
2. The resurrection appearances
'meant the beginning of a new life for
'tone early Ohlistians. When they be-
came convinced that Jesus was living,
;their faith in him reasserted itself
with overwhelming force. Now they
understood that the way of the cross
was the unexpected pathway that God
had selected for the fulfilment of hie
plan. These early Christians were
Kited. with ecstatic joy, and soon they
set out to capture the world for
Christ, the victorious, risen •Christ, who
would. complete las meresiaruie task-
so they felt sure—by a weedy return
to earth:. It was a sunrise of a new
epoch, both for these Christians and
for the world.
3. We ,ran still walk with Christ.
Henry Drummond' gives the eonfeesio'n
of a man of outstanding intellectual
strength, in the high noon of lass suc-
cess. He said, "I want to speak to-
night only a little, but that little I de-
sire to speak of the sacred name of
Christ, who is my life, my inspiration,
my hope, and my surety. In looking
back upon my experience, that part
of my fife which stands out and which
I remember most vividly, is just that
part that has had some eanscioue as-
' sociation with Christ." After all is
not this the best sort of religion—
just walking with Ohrist anti sharing
has high friendship?
4. The lesson revee% Jesus ars ton-
qu'ering death and all'its terrors. Paul
phrased it t'hem'e—"Jesus Christ , ,
hath ab'a'is'hed death." T. It G' -over
has a splendid passage to show how
Christ conquered the pagan world. He
"out=lived" him; the "out -dried,' him;
and. he "outetheaglit" him.How did the early Christie' "out -
die" the pagan?�That is aux concern
just now. -Why did he face martyr-
dom with daunttleets courage? Glover
is 'speaking of Tertu'llian, a tamale
scholar and e'aint. "I stay here," he
'said. What does it cost a man to do
that? Peepbe asked what was the
magic of it. The magic of it was just
t'hi's,—on the other side of the fire was

BIDDY BROWN'S
EGG
1
• David thought abhe world of Biddy
Brown, the . hen that was his par -
Erdal? plaperty. She was a pretty
little hen, aced she had a gay song
that she saaug most of the time. "After
a 'diverse she will begin to supply you
with •eggs," David's mother said.
David waited eagerly for: the eggs.
He knew; just what he would de with
them. Sometimes the family would
have them for Imealdast, sometimes
he wouIld 'give his mother some to
make cake with, and sometimes he
would take a few down to Little
Mary's store and exchange them for
big squares of molasses candy.
Little Mary was roll€, and bent, but
ohesr'ful. She 'sold homemade taffy
and peppermint dhtops, end also pisses
and needles, taape and buttons and
nvauy funny Little toys. Whenever
anyone opened, the door a ball tinkled
in the back xoom, and then Littre
Mary would come hobbling in with a
smile to find out what was wanted,
Davkl lwvarllhex stone, though he rare -
fly had any money to . spend theme.
"Nerve. innndl," he will to himself,
"When nsy Biddy Brown begins to say
I .shall be a good .customer of Little
Mary's."
,5o he -watched Biddy Brown and
,gave Spee Omar of yellow clean and
fresh wa,te'r end made hes a• tempting
nest of clean straw in the unused
manger at the barn. But she took
her time; weeks went by, and still
there were no eggs for David.
One day, just before Easter, David,
on his way to the grocer's, stopped
short to stare into Little Mary's win-
dow, which' was full of Easter things;
there were fluffy thickens and ducks,
woolly white rabbits with pink eyes
and cotton ralybi'ts 'chewing at yellow
cotton oarrobs. But of ail the attrac-
tive gifts the thing that specially. took
David's eye was a cunning little rab-
bit drawing a tiny wagon full of cal-
'ored candy eggs.
"Wheel" whistled David to himself.
"I' know Busier mould like that"
Bartter was Davicas Tittle brother;
he had been slick a long time and' was
just beginning to sit up. Devki knew
just how his eyes would shine at the
sigiht of that bunny with the wagon.
"Burt my bank is empty, and so are
my pookebs,"' David thought, Stili', he
went into Little Mary's store and' •ask-
ed the 'price 'of the rabbit and the
cart.
"Five cents," Little Mary said, ands
David went out.
But he kept on thinking about that
little rabbit and part; he wanted •Bws-
tem to have it for Easter.
That afternoon dihere was a great
oadkllhug down at Bios barn and David
went running. 0 joy, therein the.
straw lay a lovely piinkils'h-bbrown eggs
Biddy Brown etanutted up and down
the yard, oallilvg loudly in her 'pride.
"I wall talar rift for oma.• for Easter,"
ilaviets mother said: when, as proteid
as Bicidy, David brought the egg in-
Btut between the barn and- the ld't-
oiven David had thbugibt of 'someebhing.
"No, thank you,, mother," he said, "I'm
going to wee this eggtor somertihsng
else."
Then he tees off for Little Mary's
,store.
As hue walked, down the 'smooth reed
he turned the -egg over .and ever. "I .s
the vary first tone," he sa:ildl,. "and eo
I believe ,I% put a mark on it."
So he pinatas a 15'bsbby little p•enein,
out of it and 'robe .on it in 'sham
black lettere, "B. B." "There, that
rSands far Biddy Brown," he said.
Then he went on clown the mad and
opened the door of the thee and set
the bell bo jingling.
l "How math ewe eggs?" David asked
when Little Mary eame in cher ng,
"Sixty cents a dozen," saild Littfle
Mary,
David did some calculating. "Then
• they are five 'cents apiece," he said at
that. "WTI you take an egg in ex-
'duange for that rabbit with the calmly
ant ?" •
"Yes, indeed," anewered Little
Mary with a cheerful nod, "Then I
shall have 'a fresh egg for my break -
feet."
She took the blown egg and put
the .rabbit with the •cart into a paper
bag ,and gave it to David, who. hurried,
hone end Haid his 'treasssre,
Little Mary put the egg into a
bowl that sat en liar shelf and went
on with her work, Late that after-
noon a tittle 'girl opened the doon
"Single, jingle," rang the bell, and•
Little Mary hobbled in to answer ib,
"Mother says sire miss± have some
extra eggs.," the little gill told her.
"She thought perhaps you might have
a few that you would sell to her."
"I 'happen to leave one," staid Little
Maury. "She may have that"
She put the brown egg into a paper
bag ,and handed it to the 'littl'e girls
Now that 'little igirl, whose name
was Effie, did not go straight home.
In'ate-vd the took a long way round,
because +she wa'ntad to see the 'mill
wh'e'el turning. On the long way she
met another girl and stopped to talk
with her.
When she reached home at last her
mother said, "You are too bate, Effie.
I brad to finish my cake without the
extra egg." She put the little brown
egg away in the pantry.
Next morning a neigiebcr knocked
at the door of Effie's house. "Oh, oan
you lend me an egg ?",she asked Ef-
fie's mother. "I had ant the right
number of eggs to 'color for my Sun-
day -school class, mid one of them fell
and broke. Eggs are scarce now.
Have you a single one that you could
.et me leave?"
Effiats mother wars quite wilting. to
let her neighbor have the little brown
egg. The neighbor tools it home and
pricked a hole in ea'ah end and blew
out the yolk .and the white. Then she
colored theshell a beautiful 'bright
green and filled: it with very email
candy drops. After that 'slue stopped
up the 'little holes with sealing wax; i
When Fester morning came Buster
shouted with joy over his rabbit and
Dandy 'earl, He was so happy that
David no 'longer minded leaving given
up Biddy Brown's first egg, but went
•singing to Sunday 'school,
After the Sunday school service all
the teachers gave their pupils colored
eggs. David's teacher handed her
basket round to the class and. told the
bays to 'bake their choice.
There were seven eggs—blue, pink,
yellow, purple, green, scarlet and
orange. David chose green, his fav-
orite color.
When he reached home he sihowed it
to his mother. "Sae, I have an egg
after airs,' he said. He turned the egg
round in his hand and then he 'cried,
"Mother, look!"'
i
There, faint bast still plainly' to be
read through the green, were two let-
ters, "B. B,"
"Well, I never!" said Davids "It's
my own egg come back to mel I'm
going straight out and 'show 'i't to
Biddy Brown."
Out he went, and when Biddy
Brown saw him 'slue began to sing a
pleasant little tune.
David -held up the egg. "Look!" he
said,
But Biddy was not interested in
green eggs, and so she went on sing-
ing.—Eleanor Fairchild Pease, in

America is generally looked upon as
the land of the modern pioneer, but
there is a newer migratory movement
contemplated. It is forecast by the an-
nouncement that the Russian Govern-
ment is willing to throw open to a '

The Kuban district might well he
called the king row of Russia's racial
checkerboard. Geographically, the re-
gion is delimited by the two seas and
the two rivers mentioned on three
sides and Circassia on the east. Its
population, however, is bounded by
the Ciroasslans and the Georgians on
the south, by the Great Russians and
