Iiesson Text: "Elijah Taken t
Heaven," II Kings, 11., 1-11?
Goklen Text: Genesis, v.,
24?Com mentar y.
1. "And it came to pass when the Lor
would take up Elijah into heaven by a whir
wind." We nave now come to the record c
Eliiaii's last day on earth in a mortal boiv
Suddenly he appears before us in I Sings
xvii., 1, and now as suddenly be is to 1)
taken from us. Like Aaron and Moses, h
is to be taken away in perfect health (Xum
xi., 28., Deut. xxxiv., 7); and like Enoch, h
is to be taken without dying. In the wil
derness under the juniper tree he had aske:
to die (I Kings, xix., 4), but that prayer v~a
not answered, for God had something bettei
for him that he little dreamed of. God'
way is to do for us exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think (Eph. iii., 20;
"Elijah went with Elisha from GilgaL'
Since the anointing Elisha had been wit!
Elijah ministering unto him (I Kings xix..
21), but now he was to part with him and be
come his successor in office. At Gilgal Israe
made their first encampment in the promisee
land; there they set up the twelve stonei
from the bed ot the Jordan; there they wen
circumcised and kept the passover, and then
God rolled away from them the reproaci
of Egypt (Josh, iv and v).
2. "And Elijah said unto iSJIsha, Tarrj
tere I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me tc
Bethel." By comparing Gen. xii., 6,andDeut
jd., 80, it would seem that Abram's first altai
In the promised fond was noPfrom Gilgal.
In Gen. xii., 8, we see his second altar at
Bethel. Here also Jacob saw the ladder S9t
upj)n t?e earth whose tgp reached unto
hfiaven (Gen. xxviii, lfy.
* "As theLord livetb, arid as thy soul liveth
I w2TnotTeave tTiee. So they went down to
Bethel." This is the steadfastness of purpose
which has something in view and gets
ft. There is nothing like indifference here,
buton the contrary a wholeheartedness which
indicates intense desire.
i 8. "Knowest thou that the Lord will take
away thy master from tny tieaa to-aayr
This was the question of the sons of the
prophets of Bethel. We will find more, of
them and a similar question at Jericho. See
also verse IS, and chapters iv., 1, 38; ii.
"And he said. Yea, I know it; hold ye
our peace." Elisha was well aware that
tlijah was to leave him, and like Jacob with
the angel, he was in his heart clinging and
saying, "I will not let thee go except thou
bless me'' (Gen. xxxii., 26).
4. "And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry
here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sant me
to Jericho. This is met by the same refusal
as at Oiigal, and is followed (vs., 5) by the
same question from the sons of the prophets
at Jericho as that asked at Bethel. He needs
not Elijah's request, nor is he moved by the
repeated reminders that Elijah is about to
leave him. One thing he desires and earnestly
seeks after (Ps. xxvii., 4), and from
mat one ming uu cuuuuii ud iui ucu a??uc.
8. "And Elijah said unto bim. Tarry, 1
pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me
to Jordan." If a redeemed soul will stay at
Gilgal (reproach rolled away, salvation obtained)
there they may stay and be saved as
by fire; if they will go farther to Bethel
(house of God and revelations of glory) and
consent to tarry there, thinking and talking
of their future happiness, they may still,
though saved, bo without much reward; if
they press on to the city of palm tr.-es
(Dent, xxxiv., 3), p easaut but barren (vs.
19), they may rejoice in being blessed with
' all spiritual blessings, and the good things
whicn He will not withhold from them that
walk uprightly, and yet live largely a selfish
life ana bear little fruit.
"And they two went on." Never stopping
as if satisfied with any attainment m
the divine life, but ever pressing onward,
forgetting the things which are behind?this,
is the only way for'a soul constrained by the
love of Christ.
7. "And fifty men of the sons of the
prophets went and stood to view afar off;
and they two stood by Jordan." Fifty afar
off looking on, only two really in the busi
Bess on nana, one oi tueia uu-jut to ue
and the other eager for one thins, desiring
it most earnestly; and yet all the fifty-two
are among the prophets. Look over the
companies of believers anywhere and ask
how many are ready and expecting to ba
translated; how many have earnest desire
for the one thing needful for service hera,
and how many are looking on and merely
wondering "What next?"
8. "Ana Elijah took his mantle and
wrapped it together, and smote
the waters, and they were divided
hither and thither, so that they
two went over on dry ground." The last
we heard of this mantle it was covering
Elijah's face as God talked with him at Horeb
in the still small voice, and a little later
it was thrown upon Elisna as he was plowing
(I Kings xix., 13, 19). Now, it is like
Moses's rod stretched out over the Red Sea,
or like the Ark of the Covenant on the
shoulders oi the priests at this same Jordan
five hundred years before (Ex. xiv., 1C; Josh,
iii.. 17).
9. "Ask what I shall do for thee before I
be taken away from thee." Jordan, the river
of judgment, has been crossed; Elisha would
not tarry at any delightful experience, but
on, and on, and now in the power of resurrection
he stands with Elijah on the verge
"of separation from him and hears this great
question. It is as if Elijah said. Why nave
you clung to me? Why have you so perseveringly
followed on? What is it that you
so earnestly desire? Ask it now that you
may receive iu
"And Elisha said, I pray thee let a double
portion of thy spirit ba upon ma." Oh,
blessed desire implanted by God Himself!
Not wealth, nor influence, nor worldly favor,
but the spirit that finds all in G-od and fears
not the face of man; not the three years
which the disciples spent with Jesus could
qualify them to be witnesses unto Him, but
only the same Spirit *vho dwelt in and
controled and wrought in and
through Himself, and whom He said
He would send to them after His return to
the Father, bidding them to tarry in Jerusalem
till they should receive that baptism
of the Holy Spirit without which they were
powerless. To be filled with that Spirit is
our need to-day, but we need not expect to
be thus filled if we are content to tarry at
Gilgal, Bethal, Jericho or in any Christian
experience short of complete separation from
all earthly entanglements, and also from the
selfish enjoyments of even the Christian life.
10. "And He said. Taou hast asked a hard
thing; nevertheless if Thou see me when I
am taken from Thee, it shall be so unto
Thee; but i. not, it shall not be so." A hard
thing for Elisha, and perhaps he knaw not
what he asked. Elijah knew what it had
cost him toobtaiu the measure of the Spirit
which be had; what separation, what loneliness,
what death to the flesh, what trials,
what persecutions, and if Elisha is to receive
a double portion of the Spirit will it not be a
hard thiug for him? Has he counted the
cost?
11. "Ana it came to pa?s,asthey stili went
on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared
a chariot of fire, nn l horses oc fire, aud
parted th;m both asunder." Cau you fancy
how intently Elisha watched Eiijah as they
still went on and talked, never for a moment
taking his evss off him, least after all he
might miss his heart's desire. Can you imagine
the subject of thsir conversation, as
the one kn ;?v that any moment his companion
might be gone, and the other knew that
any moment he might c?ase to be a mortal
man? We are sure that nothing trifling
would be spoken, but only things concerning
the awful realities of time and eternity.
"And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into
heaven." See God in the whirlwind in Job
xxxviii., 1; xl., 6; Ezsk. i., 4; Nah. i., 3;
Zeeh. ix., 14. The whirlwinds with which
we are familiar dash all things earthly to
pieces, but if we are heavenly people nothing
can harm us, not even a cyclone. It maj
take us to heaven, and that will be a great
gain.? Lesson Helper.

StUDE.VTS WHO ABSTAIN.
"Students' Total Abstinenca Union" is the
name of an organization of ministerial students
of six Nonconformist theological colleges
in England, which held its annual soirea
recently at the Wesloyan College, Richmond.
There are 239 theological students in
these colleges, of whom 232 are abstainers.
The union has been in existence thirty-four
years, and when formed ia 1S56 the percentage
of abstainers among all the students
was forty. Now the percentage of abstainers
is ninety-seven. In three of the six colleges
all of the students are now abstainers. We
wish as much could be said of the students of
all our American colleges.?National Advocate.
TEMPERANCE AND THE TROPICS.
Dr. Bessinger, after exploring the interior
of Luederitz Land, the German portion of
southwestern Africa, adds his testimony to
the experience that total abstinence from
stimulants would reduce the allege 1 climate
perils of the tropics to the danger incident to
sand-storms ana sevwe droughts. "The renunciation
of alcohol,"he says, "will enable i
travelers in this country to walk twenty |
miles a day without danger to their health, i
and if the same organized enterprise and the
same amount of treasure that have been
wasted in pursuit of the North Pole chimera,
had been devoted to the exploration of this
continent, not a mountain range nor a river |
valley of tropical Africa would by th'.s time
be missing from our topographical maps." j

every thousand saloons. We fight against
saloons year in and year out, and rightly,
for the harm they do to the morals of the
community, but we seldom think of providing
a practical substitute for them as places
where men who cannot afford to belong to i
fashionable clubs can sit down and smoke
with a friend at a table and make themselves
at home without the more or less humiliating
feeling that they are beneficiaries of a free
charity, or the sense of obligation to buy intoxicating
drinks. Yet ths saloon will not
go till the popular substitute comes. There
should be a Galiles coffee house in every
street in town.?New York Press.
NIXE MUKDERS A WEEK.
The Chicago Tribune publishes the following
tables of causes of murder during the
year 1893:
Quarrels 2.1S4
Liquor 466
Unknown 464
Jealously 396
By highwaymen 217
Infanticide 167
Resisting arrest 149
Highwaymen killed 74
SJolt' rlofprwr*
Insanity 59
Outrages -5
Duel 1
Strike 1
This record is made up from the reports
given in the press of th? country, and of
course the causes are those assigned by the
j press. How many of those assigned to
'quarrels,'' to ''unknown," to "jealousy," to
"infanticide,"'to "resisting arrest," to "selfdefense,''
to "insanity" and to "outrages"
arc due to liquor eithsr as principal or auxiliary
ciuse, we cannot tell. But taking the
causes just as?igu3.1, we find that 4SG murders
(eleven per cent.) are due to liquor.
Suppose Professor Koch's lymph should develop
the unsuspected property of maddening
men and causing a racjrd "like that this
year, what an outcry would be raised, despite
its remedial qualities, and how quickly the
ntc?ssary restrictions would ba applied by
the law. If The Voice could chronicle each
of these nine murders a week assigned
to liquor alone, how long would the
personal liberty argument keep its legs? But
liquor is different from lymph: it has
"vested interests" and a political pull.? The

Down to the depth of 200 fathoms,
where daylight disappears, the eyes of a

Beyond that depth small-eyed forms set

His Trunk for a Tooth Pisk.
The intelligence of the elephant is
' much overrated, and he does not seem
capable of affection, obeying bis rider
from fear, not from love. He will do
i what he has been taught, but never
voluntarily, nor even willingly, ncr will
he go one jot beyond his teaching.
His capacity, however, is remarkable,
and the feats that elephants have been
taught to perform are so wonderful as to
give quite a mistaken impression of tho
mental ability of the animal. Its senses
are extremely quick; it will scent an
enemy 1000 yards away and will detect
the smallest admixture of a foreign sub;
stance in its food.
A lady once gave a domesticated elephant
a small sweet cake, which it at
j once rejected. Fearing that his beast
had been uncivil, the mahout placed the
J cake in tho next package of rice and
! plautain. The elephant took the package
and crushed it in his mouth, and
then instantly threw it out again with
every appearance of disgust, picking its
j teeth with its trunk as though to clear
! away every particle of the objectionable
article.
The adaption of the trunk to feeding
purposes is quite extraordinary. Al!
though the skin of this organ apparently
thick and hard, the smallest substance is
at once perceived and picked up. Baker
was greatly interested in watching one 01
i his Indian elephants empty a basket of
i the rice it contained, which it did by
i drawing the whole into the trunk, then
blowing the grains in a shower into the
mouth. Not a grain was left in the basket,
and when some were scattered on a
plank the proboscis gathered them up
one by one as delicately as human fingers
could have done.
Secret of a Succcssfnl Photographer.
"The secret of a succcssful photographer,"
said one who knows, "is in
making pictures that flatter the subjcct.
No person wishes to have a picture
which accurately represents him as he
appears to other people on the street.
Each man or woman lias a certain mental
impression of his or her appearance. It
may, and probably does, differ from the
reality, but in order to please him his
photograph must not show the crook in
his no?e, or the slight squint iu his eye.
"It is the same feeling which prompts
the tired shop girl to look in a certain

mirror does not give the same impression
as does a look at a well-executed
photograph. This is because of the skill

The Ski of the Norsemen.
I failed to discover among the tracks
of snowshoes in Central Park during the
deep snow any indication that the
wooden snowshoe, or "ski" of the far
North is in use here. It is a marvelously
effective implement, if such it may be
called, upon the feet of him who is
skilled in its use. The ski may be eight
feet long, and it is usually from three to
four inches broad at the widest point.
Beneath the foot it is an inch thick, and
it tApere before and behind to a sharp
edge. In front it turns up almost ver
tically for about an inch. The under
side is polished to the glibness of glass.
The wearers of the ski are called "skilobcere."
Their performances in Scandinavia
and Greenland are marvelous, and
a recent explorer of the latter country says
it would hive been almost impossible to
prosecute his work without the use of
the ski. Skilled skilobners make from
eight to twelve miles an hour, and daring
ones sometimes takes leaps from sixty
to ninety feet long on sharp declivities
where the perpendicular descent is as
much a9 thirty feet.?Nexc York Star.
The Annoying Hang Nail.
A small and almost imperceptible bangnail
often involves the owner of the hand
which bears it iu an endless amount of
annoyance and vexation. It is the general
rule that the nails that are the least attended
are better than those that are cor tinuallv
doctored. Manicure treatment
once a week is about right. The man
who cuts a hang-nail 111 nine cases out oi
ten lays the way for a much more vigor
almost always obtained by adopting the
habit of pushing the skin back from the
nail after washing the bauds. The dry
end of the towel should be taken, and the
sV.ii pressed book wherever it overruns
the nail. This breaks the adbeMveucss
to the nail and makes hang-uails impossible.
Where the skin is allowed to
grow fast to the nail trouble invariably
results, because-the nail iu growing out
pulls tlie skiu with it, and when it breaks
from the tension the hang-nail is formed.

Largo Fee for Medical Attendance.
Probably the largest fee for medical or
surgical attendance ever paid in New
York was the sum of $100,000 to Dr.
Willard Parker, about fifteen years ago,
for an operation in a wealthy family resident
near New York. The case was one
of goitre, a rare affliction in ihc United
States, at least among native Americans,
although far from uncommon in Franco
and Switzerland. From the side of the
face and the neck hung a large fleshy
Rack, hideously disfiguring and making
life a burden to tLe heir of several millions.
He carried the outgrowth in a
black silken bag, which hid it from view,
but did not render less conspicuous tbo
fact of its presence. The young man appealed
to the surgeons of highest reputation
in France and London; but they
made an examination and concluded that
nn operation would result lataiiy. men
he turned to the well-known American
surgeon, who consented. It is said to
have been a most arduous task of surgery.
But the patient lived, and without the
deformity. Under the circumstances the
fee does not appear to havo been too
large.
But if New York leading physicians
and surgeons receive large fees from the
rich, they more than make up for this
good fortune by free attendance on the
