Holy City, He meets His pld enemies, as bitterly opposed to him as ever. And asked him, is it lawful for a man tout away his wife ("for any reason" Matt, 19:3). trying him, The. Phar- isees had, criticized Christ on many occasions and openly, but here they are adopting new tactics, and seeking toernbroil'Him with one of the two schools of Jewish theologians which were at variance on this point, those. of Hiilel and Shammai, the former holding that a man could divorce his wife for any dislike, and the latter. that he could divorce her only for un- faithfulness. And, he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? In every time of doubt and difficulty, follow Christ's example and go to the Bible, where you will always find wisdom for the need. Note that our Lord does not say "What did Moses advise you "- but "What did Moses command you?" And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. The law is to be found in Deut. 24:1-4, The answer does not go to the root of the matter, for the dispute was as to the suff- icient reason for the divorce; any reason, or the one reason of infid- elity? But Jesus said unto them, "For your hardness of heart he wrote you this comtnandment' Our Lord im- plies the truth that all laws, human and divine, must be adapted to the state of civilization for which they are written. It is useless to lay down a law which is so far ahead, of men's understanding and conscience that it will not be obeyed. 13ttt from the beginning of the creation, Male and female made he them. That is, God created in man- kind .the physical conditions which made marriage necessary for the per- petuation of the race, and placed in his creatures the instinct of parent- hood, the holy sentiment of love, and the longing for home life. The family is a divine institution. "For this cause shall a ratan leave his father and mother". This relation between husband and wife precedes and makes possible fatherhood and motherhood. Fathers ' and, mothers would be the first then to instruct their children. "And shall cleave to his wife". This is the essential thing; the leaving of the father and mother is to be only so far as is necessary in order to give due affection and care to one's wife and children. , "And the two shall become one va 1ySsl1dAAa :rbannm..�4.sean.anMw�w..0 v v.. , "l •- .u• • .. to g' Long, low` lines give grace and beauty to McLaughlin-i3utck !Fisher bodies, but without the slightest sacrifice of interior space or head- room.

The 'na- tive of the disciples was to shield Jesus, but they should . have known that in this matter He did not want to be shielded. "tut when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation."

Not only to children, but to all adults that have the trusting heart of 'childhood,. "Verily;, say unto you". With this solemn forlirttla Christ opens some of His weiightiest and most earnest tittetaiit;es. "Whosoever shall riot .re - ceive the kingdom of God as a little child, • he shall in rte wise enter there- in". Christ and His kinadont are to be received trustingly, or pot at all. If we only half beleive,in Christ and in .His !dans for the 'world and for us, we have really no ,!tart in them at all for He requires whole -hearted service, the enthusiastic yieldingof the life to His will, "And he took them in his arms, and blessed therm, laying his hands upon them". Christ was asked only to lay His !rands upon them; but, as itiways, He did more than He was asked to do, He toolt tligtrt tap lit His arms„ one after the other, and gave each of the 1,dear little ones a loving emb:;ace as well as His blessing. This is gree of the sweetest pictures in all the Bible, "Christ, the Lord; Is risen today," Sons'of men and angels say; Raise yourjoys and trinities high; Sing, ye heavens; thou earth, reply. I Love's redeeming work is done; Fought the fight, the battle won; Lo ! the sun's eclipse : is o'er, Lo! he sets in blood no mare. Vain, the stone, the watch, .the seal, Christ hath burst the gates of hell; Death in vain forbidshis rise, Christ hath opened Paradise. Live again our glorious King; Where, 0 death, is now thy sting? Once, he died _ our souls to save; Where's thy victory, boasting grave? Soar we now where Christ hath led Following our exalted Head; Made like him, like him we rise, Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. King of glory! Soul of bliss! Everlasting life is this,— Thee to know, thy -power to prove, Thus to sing, and thus to love. We owe this well-known Easter hymn to the most prolific' hyrnnwriter the Christian Church has known, the Reverend Charles Wesley, M.A., co- worker, fellow -evangelist with John Wesley, his brother the founder of Methodism, who remained, however until his death in the Church of Eng- land, and was buried as one of her honored members. It is said that he wrote no less than six thousand five hundred, hymns, and more remarkable still, a wonderfully large number of them were of very fine and lasting quality. It might have been expected, that, as was the case with other writ- ers, quality would hot even seem to keep pace with quantity. No doubt some of them w -ere pour and halting, but on the other hand his best are very good indeed, and those relegated to the second class are, many of them; equal to the best of other writers. Ordained in 173, the year in which his father, the Rector of Epworth and a successful poet, died, he went out to Georgia, as secretary to General Og- lethorpe, the governor of that part of the country, but did not remain there long, He was back in England the next year consorting with Moravian Bre- thren of Islington. The direct evang- elistic style of preaching he had ado- pted, learnt from Count Zinzendorl, Peter Bohler, and other Moravians, was, however, of too personal a char- acter to suit that congregation. The churchwardens protested against its heat and vehemence, and requested in thename of the people that "Mr. Wes- ley preach no more in that church," and sorrowfully he left them, and be- came art itinerant preacher with his brother John, with equal success in 'turning people towards newness of life. The brothers published some sixty- three poetical books in all, both being hyinnwriters, as was their father before them, and likewise their brother Sam- uel, connected with the famous school at Westminster. The second, of these "Hymns and Sacred Poems" carne out in 1739 and contained a hundred arid thirty -nitre hymns, Among these hymns were many co- inposed previously by Charles Wesley, the Easter hymn being one'^of them. John Wesley had an unusually keen gift of criticism, and it has never been doubted that in any book bearing his naxue, all the hymns had undergone his scrutiny and been amended where • his poetic and trained 'theological sense found that necessary, The book went through three editions that saltie year, and created a very deep impress- ion. No less than fifty of these hymns were included in the .large Wesleyan Hymn Book printed in s78o, and edit- ed with the most scrupulous care, The Easter, hymn has always held its place in the later Methodist hynn-, als, though it was not in the 178o boot:, nor was added until the "Supp lenient" to that collection appeared in 1830. Long before that, and soon after its first publication it had been adopt- ed into the Church of England books. Itt adapting it to use in the "Supple- ment" of 1830, thc'pr.obably significant change was xnade in stanza four', from "Dying, once, He all doth save" as Wesley left it to, "ance,Hedied our souls to save." It was originally a long hymn of eleven verses, but since x70o it has never appeared in more than eight verses. In order to fit it to the tune set in the book Lyra Davidica (187o) to "Jesus Christ is risen today," based upon a Latin hymn, the Hebrew word of praise "Hallelujah is sometimes added at the end of each line, but that was not Charles Wesley's doing. The. W esleys were a musical family; and John Wesley was particularly careful about the tunes to which the hymns were sung. In 1742 he publish-, ed "A Collection of Thirty-si:r, tuot,s, set to music, as they are sung itt the Foundry." At that time services wer;l being held in a large building formerly used es a foundry, and these tunes were carefully written out on the mus- ical staff,—the air with harmonious accompaniment. One of these tunes which is thought was meant to be sung for the Easter Hymn was "Sav annah," or "Herrnhtit," the one runic reminiscent of the Wesley's visit to and mission work in Georgia, the other of the Moravians, who had their headquarters at the Saxon} place so called. The tune is 'usually credited to John Wesley himself.. . , soli 111MIIl IMI&M!1!�dll!IMI emoI! !Ilpi!lllildlltlMlmmtlil l!!M!!!mIlil !11iNill�Ilhli !1!iM!I!{i6!!Iliiil!Ngi� n.,...in ii Creant. . w Produers We have advanced our price this week two cents per lb.
