TOLD FOR A MEMORIAL OF HER} Matth?w 26:1-16?Ootober 30 "Bhe hath done tchat the could."?Hark t):8. IN a previous study we cousldered the Great Teacher's triumphal entry into Jerusalem on the ass, and his tender of himself to the Nation of Israel as their King:, in fulfillment of the prophecy of Zeehuriah 0:9-12. That was five days before f^je Passover. For several days Jesus taught In the temple, going at night to the home of Lazarus, Martha and Mary at Bethany. He knew what to expect?that hl9 hour was'come. He knew that even then the chief priests and elders of the people were considering his destruction and hesitating only lest it should cause tumult. Their Indignation against the Great Teacher was (hat lie did not teach as they taught and that his teachings had much more power with the masses than a>i their teachings combined. Anger, envy, hatred, united in branding him as an impostor and in sending him to his death, "for the good of the cause." The feast at Bethany referred to in this study may have 1/fcen on the night before our Lord's betrayal, two days before the feast of Passover. Itnt the concensus of opinion seems to be that it occurred on the Sabbath evening nrnirwIliKr ll.n I flntilnlm 1 rl?1rt T,, rusaiem. It matters not, however. There was such a' feast. Josus and his disciples were present. During the feast a woman approached with an alabaster flask of veryjpu'ecious perfume. She poured it upon his head and the entire room wj>s sweet with the odor. The woman was Mary, the Sister of l.azarus and Martha. Another account shows that the protest made by the disciples against (his it a n lUMlKilli'il My .HKiaS, (ho treasurer of the little company of the Lord's disciples. John remarked that he was a thief and carried the bag and intimated that he was more Interested in the money than in the poor and that his mention of the poor was merely a subterfuge. Hut the Great Teacher rebuked his disciples, saying. "\VI$ trouble ye the woman; for she hath wrought a good work upon me: In that she hath poured t' is ointment upon my hotly she did It to prepare me for burial. Truly I say linto von \Vhi?n?s:i?i>vi>r lliis Ui?<inol shall he preached in tlie whel;> world, there shall also this which this woman hath done he told for a memorial of her" (Matthew xxvi. 10-i:h. How ronsiderate was the (Sreat Teacher! How sympathetic! Flow appreciative of everythhiu done for him! "She Hath Done What She Conic!" The Lord, in line witli all the Scripture teachings and urates, declines to rceoKui::i> woman as a te.icher of re iitrion in the ('lunch amoinxsi ids followers. No woman was driven a place amongst the twelve Apostlua? nor even when t he seventy evangelists were sent forth with the simple message, which any woman could have jjlven. surely as glibly ns any man. <>r more so; even on this mission he did not .veml women, nor even a represent at i%ve of Ibe sex. The man. in Scriptural usiiyie. is the figure of the Lord: the woman, the figure of the Church. It would hi> out of harmony with the figure that the Church should be the instructor and the Lord the pupil. Consistently, therefore, It would have been improper for woman to have been commissioned to represent the I.ord. Ilence. women as teachers in the Church have no authority in the Bible for the position. We read that the serpent beguiled Mother live ami made of her n teacher of er^ | 111J J | ^ ^jj^|j||| ror to her husband. Wo road that the ovil spirits used a certain young woman as a medium to announce the Apostles. But we find no Divine sanction of woman as a teacher In the Church, but that the young woman who acted under the spirit of divination and at tempted to preach Christ ami tlit? Apostles was rebuked by the Apostle 1'iuil and tlieN spirit of divination dispossessed. All this, however, does not Indicate that either Jesus or the Apostles were either rude toward women or unappredative of their qualities of heart and mind. Quite the contrary. Amongst the Lord's followers were many "honorable women" and ids special love for this Mary and her sister Martha Is narl ieularlv recorded.

"The Poor Always With You" Our Lord, lu reply to the argument of Judas, that the ointment should have been sold for a large sum for the benefit of the poor, answered. The poor ?*,UU TT7 V. jua?c aiuajo >viiu J vu. n ever ye will ye may do them good; but me ye have not always. Poverty Is sure to be a factor iu the social .order during the present time, because, In our fallen condition as a race, some are more brilliant of mind than others and selfishness Is the general rule. Hence until the end of the reign or sin and death the poor will be here. And there is a blessing attached to every good deed, every noble endeavor to help any member of the race to higher ana Derrcr conuiuons, menuuiy, morally. physically. By and there will be no poor, for, under Fhe Kingdom condition, love will be the ruling principle, Instead of selfishness. "But Mo Y? Hnvo Not Always" This was true of the Master. A lit* i tie while and he was gone from them, aucended to the Father's right hand Tho same principle prevails In respect to the Lord's followers styled, "The members of his Body."

I Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen, after a trial extending over five days, and I tlilrty minutes' deliberation by the I Jury, was found guilty, at London, j of the murder of his Avife, an American j woman, known on thb stage as Belle Elmore. Lord Chief Justice Alver stone, who presided at the trial, sentenced Crippen to be hanged on November 15th There is, however, the strongest prejudice in England against executing a man on purely circumstantial evidence, and an incident at the close of Crippen's trial has caused the impression that the jury may' have recommended a life sentence. After Crippen was sentenced to death the foreman of tho Jury handed to the lord chief justice a note, after looking at wnicn ;ne justice saiu: "That shall bo forwarded to the proper quarter." "The proper quarter" might mean the home secretary, who has Jurisdiction in such matters. The jurors refused to discuss the incident. The jury was out just thirty minutes. When it returned and announced that it had found the defendant guilty, Lord Chief Justice Alverstone asked the physician if he had anything to say. Crlppen replied in a low voice: "I still protest my innoconce." The chief Justice then donned the black cap and pronounced the aent&ntic of death. NINETEEN MEN LOST. Steamer Regulus, Caught In Storm, Becomes a Total Wreck. News of the wreck of the steamer tyegu lus, bound from Belle Island to Qydney, with the loss of nineteen men Of the crew, was received at St. Johns, N. F. The wreck occurred at Shoal Buy. The Regulus was owned in St. Johns, and the crew consisted almost wholly of New Foundlanders. The Regulus has been running between New Foundland ports, Sydney, C. B., New York and Philadelphia. She broke her tut 1 shaft off Bay of Bulls, 3(j miles, from St. John, while on her way from Helle Island to Syd ney, and a tug picked her up. Th<> Btorm increased, however; four hawsers were parted, and the Uegulus 1k>came lost in the fog and darkness. At daylight the steamer was found to bo a total wreck on a point of land at the entrance of Shoal Hay. \inci< en raomhors of the crew had been swept Into the sea and drowned. AWARDED $5,000 DAMAGES.

A vivid illustration of tlu: power of mere words over human beiugs was once brought to the attention of French people by Francisque Sarcey. After the wreck of the Ltourgogne many passengers were found tloating drowned with life preservers on. These life preservers were fatscned upon nobodies. but round the middle Instead of under the arms, and the greater weight of the upper part of the body had tipped the head under water and the person of course Wiis inevitably drowned. Now it appears that the greater nuin her of the persons so drowned were French. The French term for life preserver is ceinture de sauvetngo. <>r "life saving belt." This wool ceinture suggests to the mind in its moments of disorder and unreadiness, such as a great catastrophe brings, the idea of putting on a licit, and ;rs a belt is put round the waist and nowhere else the frightened porson instinctively adjusts the life preserver close nholit the hips. The result is that as soon as the l>crson so provided falls into the water his body tips over, with thi> heavier part downward, and the head is plunged beneath the surface. iiio woni *"111*11. mereiore. was 1111* cause of tin* loss of many lives in t lit? Bourgogne disaster. Sarcey according iy proposed to <o.interact the fatal effect of the Wrench word by renaming the article and calling it a brassiere, which is a kind of waist, and by bringing the word bras, or arm. to mind to teach people to put a life preserver on just underneath the arms.?Chicago Record-IIera hi.

THE NUMBER OF CARS COUNT Likewise the Momentum and the Brakfbig Power and the Temperature of ^ho Rails?Freight Trains Moro Uncertain Than Passenger Trains.

"In tile tirst place, it depends on the number of cars you have on .vour train. The fewer cars you have the quicker you can stop, ehV Well, that's where you're dead wrong." The engineer rested his gnarled list across his knee as if it were a fifteen pound monkey wrench. "Yes. sir." he repeated. "if you've got tliat idea you're | wrong, just like folks are likely t<> !>e i on railroad matters which fliey don": know anything about. Now, the fai t is that a certain type of engine can !>< sitnrmnil nnieker it' it luis :i 11 ;i 11 (lo/cii I freight curs hooked on to it. That's so because there are brakes on each of tlie cars, and they all grind into the wheels when you sling on the emergency. Why wouldn't it stop quicker If you had a dozen cars on instead of six? Well, sonny, for the simple reason that the weight of the train, or. rather, the momentum, overcomes the braking strength of your air. and so you're carried along. If you had less than six cars it would he jnsi the other way?you wouldn't have enough braking power to overcome what weight you have got. Yes. sir. with evorv freiirht train and with everv passenger (rain there is :i certain number of cars necessary to make tin ti'ain most effective when i( comes u< stopping quickly. This is a very practical question too. An engineer will say to himself. 'Weil. I've got more cars on today; I'll have to )> ... on brakes sooner in order to si just right at the station.' "1 once heard an engineer ay that an engine with a baggage car did two passenger coaches traveling at the rate of thirty-live miles an hour would re quire about <500 feet to stop and traveling at twenty-live mi!> ? an hour would require -UX? feet to lalt.

"Why. take tlit* same type of <-n ;i 11 and the same type of com bes ::ml run them over the same track and applv the brakes in precisely the same man ner and the two trains will not slop in the same distance of track, indeed, take the same train over the very same track at different times, run her at exactly the same speed and apply the brakes in the ver\ same manner and you can't stop in the same distance. Engineers would like to s!o|> at each station at precisely the same spot that they did the day before. Do they ever do itV No, son. they don't, because it can't be done. "The stopping of a train depends on conditions, just as 1 said before Engineers who have traveled over a particular road for years can't do it. Sometimes the conditions vary to such an exteut that the train is run p:ist tin station. Everybody bus soon thai done And then the engineer says things 1111 dor his breath and backs up his train to let the passengers on and to take on baggage. Sonny. engineers never know within yards whore their trains will stop. "Freight trains are more uncertain than passengers. This is so because it doesn't matter as much.
