"And behold, two of them went tint samo day to the village callerl Emmaus. which was from Jerusalem about three score furlongs." It was uow afternoon, and all the events of the morning had doubtless become knovn to nil the discir les. ami manymore than those mentioned in the last lesson had paid a visit to the tomb, perhaps these two amon<j the r*st: but if so they evidently double:! still His resurrection, for had they believed that He actually appeared to Mary and the other women we would think that they would have remained about the city hoping to see Him for themselves. So we have before us two more unbelieving disciple?, one named Cleopas (vs. IS) and the otner we know not, According to John xix., 25, Cleopas was husband to one of the Marys. 14. "And they talked together of all these things which had happened." They would no doubt rehearse every incident, perhaps going over the events of His arrest and trial and crucifixion and all attendant circumstances, ns well as the events of that particular day. Most weighty and perplexing matters filled their minds, and it may be that so discouraged were the}' that they were returning to their homes to settle down to their old life, and perhaps give up all hope of a deliverer for Israel after sucn a disappointment. 15. "And it came to pass that while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus Him 1* J ? ???,? wonf with thpm ThPV bCll uicn ncax anvt Utuw i.??u ^ spoke of Him and He came to meet them, which reminds usof Mai. iii., 10: "Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another rand the Lord harkened and heard," etc. He is always seeing, always hearing. 16. "But their eyes were holden that they should not know Him.*' When Mary saw Him she knew not that it was Jesus, and when the disciples who went out fishing saw lHim on the shore they knew not that it was " Jesus (John xx.. 14? xxi., 4). 17. "And He said u?ito them. What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, and ye walk and are sad?" He * " l.ll D,'?, ?t fcDGWj DUD ne wanteu lucui lu cci* uiiu, if He had said, Tell Me all about it. 18. "And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering, said unto Him, Art Thou only a stranger in Jerusalem and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?" The whole city must have been filled with the things which had happened during the last few days and a man would need to be a very lonely sojourner (as the words "Art thou only a' stranger'' imply) not to have heard about the strange events. Mary tool; Him to be the gardener, and these two think He must be a stranger; His enemies took Him for a glutton and wine bibber, while His friends thought Him beside Himself. Was ever a man more misunderstood or unknown? Loneliest of all lonely men, least appreciated, least esteemed; it was His comfort that the Father knew Him, and that He did always those things which pleased the Father (John viii.. !29). 19. "And He said unt5 them. What things? And they said unto Him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the peo)? Tl%*w ?nf fr\ratCkt. r?r?r Hftnir til At piu. XUOjr WUIU IIVU &v* gvv uv. j such mighty deeds and words had been s?an in Jesus as had never been sesn in any other; and, although contrary to all their expectations He had been put to death, yet thes? facts concerniuy Him were incontrovertible. Never man spake like Him; never did any one do such mighty works since the day of Moses, and Moses never raise 1 the dead nor opened the eyes of one born blind. 20. "'And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and have crucified Him.'' Their testimony corroborates exactly what Jesus had foretold (Matt, xvi., 21). Now if they had added what He also foretold just as plainly, that He would rise again the third day. then would they have beeif enlightened and glad. Believing Dart of the truth does not help one; we must like Paul "Believe all thiugs that k are written in the law and in the prophets'* f (Acts xxiv., 14). 21. ,lBut we trusted that it had bean He which should have redeemed Israel; and beside all this, to-day is the third day since these things were done.'' Like Zacharias, Simeon, Anna, Joseph of Ariinathea and many others they looked for redemption for Israel, even the kingdom of God (Lukc i.. 68; ii., 30,558; xxiii., 51), as all the prophets had foretold. They looked for the King to sit on David's throne, and even Gabriel, the last frnm God tau?ht them so to look (Lukei., 32, 33). But they knew not the way to the throne by death aud resurrection. 22. "Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished which were arly at the sepulcher." If they had said "made us glad" it would have been right and according to the mind of God. But look around you to day, or look at yourself, which is the most practical and helpful thing to do, and see if the things of Jesus make you glad or only astonished. I do not mean that it wili make you glad to look at yourself, for that is a poor place to look for gladness; but it may show you your difficulties and turn you to Him who alone can make you glad. 23. "And when thsy found not His body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of augels, which said that He was alive." Wbon thoy looked for (His body) they saw not, but they saw the linen clothes which had contained His body; and what tliey had not expected to see (angels) they saw, and heard that which they had not thought to hear, that He was alive. '34. "And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulcher, and found it even so as the women had said; but Him they saw not." The women simply found as Ho had said it would be, and as the angels said it was: and even though the others who went saw not Himself, blessed are those who see not and yet believe (John xx., 29). 25. "Then He said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!" If we spend much time on prophecy wise men may count us fools, but jf we neglect prophecy, or any portion of it, Christ will count us foolish. Let us rather ^ choose to be counted foolish by men than by Phrist j 20. " Ought not Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory!'" When Paul preae'.icd at Thessalomca "he taught from tne Scriptures that Christ must needs have suffered and risen again from the dead, and that Jesus whom he preached was indeed the Christ (Acts xvii., 2, 3). The Christ must suffer becausa iniquity, transgression and sin must be put away and made an end of (Dan. ix., 2i), and without shedding of blood is no remission: it is the blood that maketh au atonement for the soul (Heb. ix., 22; Lev. xvii.. 11). 27. "And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself." Expository preaching, which many preachers despise, but which satisfies hungry souls. An 01(1 Testament Bible reading by the Master Himself and all about Himself. Heavy hearts need Jesus only: and only when He is enthroned there will we have true gladness ?Lesson Helper. The interest in lawn tennis is dying out in England, and it may be expected that the craze will soon decline in this country. Immense sums of money are, in the aggregate, spent for the accesso ries of the sport, and heads of families who are called upon to provide them will doubtless be glad to learn that interest in the game is on the wane. Tennis is not a great game for young people generally, after all. It is very .poor sport if not played well, and the nmber of people who have tho activity and skill to play well is small. Besides, tennis is going the way of rowing, cricket, foot-ball aud base-ball, and becoming a game for professionals ami ^ champions. There are better sports "for the lawn than tennis, and among them prominently appear archery and croquet, old-timers which commend themselves highly.

They wbo busy themselves with many outward works of charity, and engage he >rtily, it may be, in Home "philanthropic cause," without active love to Christ, without being at one with him, without seeking his presence and spending time with him, are wanting in every essence and stamina of Christian charity. They are wanting root to live on; and it would be well if they seriously examined their hearts to see if there be no' eelfish mo th e?some inducement that has in view sucn as the desire to be thought well of by their fellow creatures, and the acquiring influence over others, a restlessness of mind which, by doinx something for others, satisfies for a time and quiets it. " Good works arc in themselves ever to be commended, but God looks at the heart and sees why we do them. And those persons are most pleasing to him who, out of pure love of Jesus oiir Lord, are sweetly constrained for his sake to succor all who are in distress, in need, sickness, or any other adversity, as far as they can, and say nothing about it to themselves. For is it not the peculiar nature and excellence of Christian character to feel, when we bave done all that is in our power to do, that we are still unprofitable servants, and consequently should greatly shrink from making our charitable actions known?? [Thomas a Kempis. HOMELESS. When Dr. Uiinam Jiuuer was speamug in Bareilly, iu India, concerning the objccts of missionary labor, Rabo Ram Chander Bose, a well educated Hindoo, was interpreting for him. Among other objects of missionary labor. Dr. Butler mentioned the establishment of the Christian home in India. As he uttered the word '*home," the inter{>reter, though acquainted well with both aneuages, suddenly stopped as if in confusion, and Dr. Butler feared that be might be ill; but he turned to the missionaries sitting on the platform, and said: "What am I to! do wi.h that word 'home?' We have a word j for 'house,' and one for 'family,' but none for 'home."' He had been in America, he knew what a Christian home was. and he knew it was so j foreign to Jlindooism tbat they had neither the idea to express nor the word to exprrs-i it. Tlu're is no real home, until its foundation I is laid in the grace and fear of God. Said j tlie Psalmist, "Lord Thou hast been our j % .,11 ? if/, ;Q t h/?

And He , setteth tin- solitary in families, and gives to j them the blessings ot a Christian home. Ifappy are they who know the blessedness J of such a home, but how sad it is to think j that some have no h art to enjoy the privi- I leiros which such a home affords. They : break away from its restraints, and rush outward into darkness, and not only lose the blessings of the earthly home, but" miss the joys and glories of the heavenly, the eternal : home, the city tbat hath foundations whose ' builder and " whose maker is <ioJ.? [The , Armory. ' Tiiri) Tift? ("lltlTiDPV In the Word of God the children bavc a large plaec. The Bib!e abounds in precepts ana promises and illustrations relating to the young. It was fitting, therefore, that they "should have a place in the programme ! for the Week of l'rayer. One of the brightest touches in the prophet's picture of the restored Jerusalem is that the streets of the city would be '-full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof." | One of the most beautiful s-enes in the life of the Lord was in the temple when the children were about him crying, Ilosanna. ! One of the most delightful anticipations of the kingdom that is to come, is that the streets of the city that will "come down out of heaven from God" will be full of children. There may be differences of opinion among Christians as to the age at which the young should be taken into the church, but there ought to be no difference of opinion among them as to when their children should be dedicated to Christ. When a voting man, who has since become i a famous preacher, told his mother that he j intended to study for the ministry, she said: "I never told you, but I meant you for that : before I ever saw your face."' That was the 1 sublime faith of a good woman in the elficacy j of the early dedication of her boy to the ser- i vice or GoU. Christian parents ought not to lie wholly discouraged if the cord that hinds their children to God may at times seem to them to be broken; God holds the other end, let j them keep on praying. Many a man has been kept from drifting into evi! by the memory of his parents' praycr?. A distinguished explorer says: '-In all! the dangers and temptations to which I was exposed In Africa, one thread kept me from ' going to ruin. It was the knowledge tbat i on the other side of the globe there was an j old gray-haired woman praying for me."' | The young need to be guarded as well as I guided* "The Liub that God keeps, thi j wolf does not eat," so the Persians say. One of the best earthly safeguards for the i young is a home in which Gfd is honored. J There are many promises of blessing on such a home Some wonderful revivals have had their beginning in children's meetings. The day of prayer for colleges has often been Mgaally blessed in the dedication of many young men to the service of Christ in the ministry. This is a day of grand opportunity. Now, as never before, recruits are needed for service in all the mission fields. From my window recently T >aw a young eadet passing along the street dressed in uniform. He belonged to a military school foi boys, and already had the step "and bearing of a soldier. The world needs good soldiers of Jesus Chiist. and the best time to begin . training them for the ranks is when they are vnnnir. j v-rTo a mother, whose son had been appointed a foreign missionary, a friend said : "I hope you will be able io give him up for this work."'' "I gave him up in bis infancy to (Jod, but never knew until now where the Lord wanted him." the mother replied. Parents who devote their children to such a work will not fail of their reward. A missionary, dying in a heathen land, saiil to the friends wfio had gathered around him : "Tell my mother I thank God that she led me to JeVus." Oh, that all parents might have the spirit of the good woman of old. who said of the child that bad been given to her in answer to her prayer: "Therefore, 1 al o have granted him to the Lord; as long as he livetb, he is granted to the Lord.'' The stockholders in the Eiffel towor enterprise are feeling blue just now in consequence ol the steady diminution of tlieir receipts. In the season now closing 665.000 francs were taken in. The cost of keeping the tower open was 350,00'J francs and .300,000 francs were spent for repairs. Next season the small profit of this season will be wiped out, it is expected, and a considerable deficit will appear in place of it. In view of this probability 168,000 francs were reserved for future use from the profits of the exliibition year. ' ' v- ... . . I temperinti olu hve's speec h. I was made to be eaten.

The Arab Anti-Rum Congress in Khar Soun was not a myth, as some would have us be lieve, but an actual reality, and was held at the same time that the anti Slavery Con gressmet in Brussels While the Christian.' m Brussels were resolving to "search all vessels and dhows suspffied of having slaves oc board, and to confiscate the vessels and return the slaves," the Arabs were adopting a resolution "to surround the entire coast ol Africa with a cordon of armed dhows anc confiscate every European vessel containing Jiquors and sell the crews into slavery." alcohol in typhoid. The Lancet, which is high medical au thority, publishes a paper upon "Alcohol in Typhoid,' by Doctor James Barr, in which he says: "Alcohol is not a food in the proper acceptation of the word; it is a sedative, or to use a commoner though less accurate designation, a stimulant." He disapproves the use of alcohol in t'ie treatment of typhoid, for reasons, which he states at length, and eighteen severe cases treated by Doctor Barr are cited in which he administered no alcohol and did not lose any of them. If, as Doctor Barr affirms, alcohol has no food value, recourse to it in health is superfluous TEMPERANCE AMONG THE TARS. Miss Agnes E. Weston, of London, whose temperance work among British seamen has been so successful, recently held meetings on board the United States ships Jamestown and Saratoga. On the Jamestown sixty pledges were taken. Miss Weston's work is known in the United States Navy by her monthly letters distributed among the men for many years past. She hopes to get the United States Navy Temperance Society started on all our ships ana to have them managed by the men themselves, as she has succeeded in the British Navy among merchant seamen. FOR INTEMPERATE WOMEN*. Boston has just dedicated in one of her suburbs the Massachusetts Home for Intemperate Women. It is the fruition of a work begun and carried on bv one earnest, sympathetic woman, Mrs. Mary R. Charpiot, who twelve years ago inaugurated the reform by receiving victims of dipsomania into her own home. The facilites and accommodations were gradually enlarged; intemperance was treated as a disease, the patients were surrounded with a pure moral atmosphere, were excluded from temptation, were kept busily at work, and fully fifty per cent, of them were permanently cured.?A ew York Telegram. THE FOLLY OF DRINKING ALCOHOL. More and more is the weight of scientific testimony growing against the use of alcohol as a medicine. At the late annual confer ence of the British Temperance League, the veteran medical temperance pioneer of Great Britain. Dr. F. R. Lees, r?*ad a paper upon "Science and Alcohol," in which ne said; "General experience, which is the foundation of social science, continues to confirm the great truths of our movement. Life is lengthened, disease is lessened, and health is Improved by the prnctico of abstinence, and on the other hand superstitions about drink and its value are dying out. and light is at last finding its way into high and fashionable quarters. Whether in recreations or in ordinary work, whether in cold or warm climates, whether in battle or in peacs, whether in sea or land, the folly of drinking alcohol, and the advantages to mind and body of abstinence, are becoming acknowledged more widely." WHERE ALL THE MINISTERS DRINK. "Like priest, like people" seems to be verified in the attitude of the people of European countries on the question 01 the use of intoxicating liquors. From a letter just received from one who has for over thirty years been working for total abstinence in the Netherlands we quote the following: "In Amsterdam, of the fifty ministers of all denominations, not one is a total abstainer; the same is true of our university towns. Leyden, Utrecht and Groningen. At the Hague and Rotterdam one! So you see it has been up hill work for me these thirty years. I found the most happy compensation in the working classes of my visiting districts, even among the women, who,as a rule, in all classes, are even more hostile to the movement than the wine-liking ministers. Yes, we advance. Young ministers are becoming memb?rs and will mow where I have sowed. Yes, temperance work hat hoon flip fhiof nm-fc of mv ministry and my zeal for the principle is'growing'with my years."' HEREDITARY INEBRIETY. The Christian Inquirer,uf New York City, mentions that: "At the Social Science Association meetings recently held at Saratoga, a paper was read 011 the "Problems of Inebriety," in which the writer traced the prevalence of intemperance largely to heredity. It was asserted that of the cases of inebriety studied up, fully forty per cent, have come from an inebriate ancestry; that twenty par cent, have come from insane, epileptic, and mentally defective ancestors a generation or two back. The facts, if they are facts, are somewhat startling. They show, as the writer demonstrated, that sixty per cent, of our drunkards came into being, launched into existence freighted with diseased tendencies and impulses, which burst into activity from the slightest exciting causes. They aro incapable of bearing the strains and drains of modern civilization and living healthy, natural lives." Those who drink intoxicants, even in what is called "moderation," and who assume the responsibility of parentage, ought to be impressed with the thought that they thereby incur the awful risk of imposing the alcoholic nppetita upon their offspring. A legacy r.r inoVini.tr tn h ohild is eumvalent to a leg acyof moral and spiritual destruction. ~ Xational Advocate. TEMPERANCE NEWS AND .VOTES. Where the spirit is willing the flesh is weak. In thirty-foui English boroughs the Mayors elected are total abstainers. The City Council of Brazil, lnrl., has deposed Mayor Jacob Herr for inebriety. A runious end attends a riotous life. Well were it for the drunkard, as he hath lived like a beast, if he could so die. On2 year ago there were no Women's Christian Temperance Unions in Prince Edward's Island, now there are eight. Glasgow. Scotland, has three licensed drinking houses for every 1000 of its population. No less than 21 ^ licenses are issued to women. The King of Samoa has recently isssued a proclamation prohibiting under sever penalties any native selling, bartering, or giving spirituous liquors for rise as a beverage to any other native. The only actual abstiuence society in Russia was formed by Count Tolstoi about three years ago and now nu nbers about one thousand members. The authorities forbade the printing of its rules. The National Temperance Hospital, of Chicago, held its annual meeting last week, closing its first year without debt, and with brighter prospects for the future than ' ?? iA full j-onnrf of It nas ever ueivi e miuitu, >u,. ? its work is published.

"The Cost ot Drunks" is the interesting theme to which Toronto newspapers are now devoting some space. It is figured out that the 5441 drunken men arrested in the town last year represent a deficiency in wages lost, etc, of ?191,682. No wonder a Toronto editor deplores the prevalence of drunkenness "in owr rait' it." 5** ? -V - . ' A DOCTOR'S CONFESSION. lie Doesn't Take Much iHcdicine and Ad vises the Krporlcr Not To. j "Humbug? Of course it is. The so-calle;l i fcionce of medicine is a humbug anil has i beenf rom tho time of Hippocrates to the ' present. Why the biggest crank in the Indian tribes is the medicine mnn." "Very frank was the admission, especially to when it came from one of the biggest young physicians of the city, one whose practice is among the thousands, though ho Las been graduated but a few years," says the Buffalo Courier. "Very cozy was his office too, with its cheerful grate fire, its Queen Anne furniture, and its many lounges and easy chairs. He stirred the fire lazily, lighted a fresh cigar, and went on." "Take the prescriptions laid down in the books and what do you find? Poisons mainly, and nauseating stuffs that would make a healthy man an invalid. Why in the world science should go to poisons for its remedies I cannot tell, nor can I find any one who can." "How does a doctor know the effect of his medicine?" he asked. "Ho calif?, prescribes, and goes away. Tha only way to judge would be to stand over the bed and watch tho patient. This cannot be done. So really I don't know how he is to tell what good or hurt he docs. Sometime ago. you remember, the Boston Globe sent out a reporter with a stated set of symptoms. He went to eleven prominent physicians and brought back eleven different prescriptions. This just shows how much science there is in medicine." There are local diseases of various characters for which nature provides positiveremedies. They may not be included in the regular physician's list, perhaps, because of their simplicity, but the evidence of their curative power is beyond dispute. Kidney disease is cured by Warner's Safe Cure, a strict ly herbal remedy. Thousands or persons, every year, write as does H. J. Gardiner, of Pontiac, R. I., August 7, 1690: "A few years ago I suffered more than probably ever will be known outside of myself, with kidney and liver complaint. It is the old story?I visited doctor after doctor, but to no avail. I was at Newport, and Dr. Blackman recommended Warner's Safe Cure. I commenced tho use of it, and found relief immediately. Altogether I took three bottles, and I truthfully state that it cured me." Cold Waves. A cold wave, as defined by Professor T. Russell, is a fall of temperature in twenty-four hours of twenty degrees over an area of 50,000 square miles, the temperature in some part of this area descending to thirty-six degrees. Between 1SS0 and 1890 no less than 601 cold waves were recorded in the United States. In the great cold wave of January 17, 1882, the fall of twenty degrees extended nvr>r an arm 1.111.000 souarc miles, and the fall of ten degrees included an area of 2,929,000 square miles. In six cold waves of the ten years the area of the fall of twenty degrees was more than a million square miles. Cold waves follow a day after an area of low pressure, or occur to the southeast of an area of high pressure, attaining their greatest extent when both conditions are present together. They occur only, however, in the presence of an area of high or low pressure.?Trenton (JV. J.) American.

There is a good deal of condensed wisdom in Julian Hawthorne's latest homily on the value of outdoor exercise, when he says that if some genius were to invent a tonic that could be put up in a bottle, which could freshen a man up after fatigue and depression as much as a brisk walk of a couple of miles in the open air, he could make a gigantic fortune in six months. And yet people go on taking tonics, elixirs, pick-me-ups and so forth, which they have to pay for, and which do them no lasting good; while the elixir of the open air, which they can have for uothing, and which not only restores them, but actually lengthens their lives?it is difficult to induce them to take that.?Boiton Herald.
