Nearly three months had passed
since she had lost l.er place in Hodge

ten years, and without kindred or

place for her in another department '
af Hodge & Gammon's, though at
lower wages. Through her long service
and limited experience, her life
bad grown into ihe very building?and i
she shrank from an absolute change i
almost as from the wrenching asunder
of soul and body. But the gray 1
streaks in her soft brown hair i
stopped her return to the salesrooms 1
r; with bars of adamant.
Those same gray streaks, from
whic> her fresh, unwrinkled skin, i

She bowed again, and he contin- si

of something to your advantage tl

"We must not judge by appear- r<

portentionsly. It is about forty ci

"So they told me," faltered Miss T

"Well, madam, I can assure you h

little woman, with r. faint return of

When one has been subsisting for
three or four days on one stale loaf
and an occasional drink of milk and
water, walking meantime mile upon
mile, in cMsmal weather, from one
disappointment to another, and coming
back to a cold room and a sleepless
bed, one's courage is likeiy to be
low.
"If you would tell me "
"I'll tell you nothing until you
have filled out and signed thess papers.
Sign here!" commanded the /
cfr-onor/ir of roftu'n Virnnri Rhp^ts I
of paper before her and taking a I '
fountain pen from his pocket.
One was a power of attorney dated
two days ahead, authorizing the
bearer, Irving Wilson, to collect, as
the representative of Sarah Brooks,
any claim or claims belonging to the
estate of her uncle, the late John
Peter Brooks, and the other was an
agreement on the part of said Sarah
. -noks to allow said Irving Wiison

She took up the pen, but hesitated.

irsidiy.
Her visitor waxed impatient.

inless you sign these papers.

But fie frightened, exhausted

-not liking the looks of the man, as
he explained later?had been listenng
behind the shabby portiere, was
ieside her in a second.
"I'll wa't till sh$ comes to. ItV3

said .he visitor in a milder

"It's not so important, nor so much

oldly. "Here, Norah," to the goodaoking

"It's nothing but starvation," whisered
Mrs. Tompkins to Norah on the

SUNDAY SCHOOL
international lesson com
ments for december 2.
Subject: .Tesus Before Pilate, Lok<
xxiii., 13-25?Golden Text, JjnK<
xxiii., 4?Memory Verses, 20, 2J
-?Commentary.
I. Pilate endeavors to release Jesu:
(vs. 13-17). 13. "Pilate." Pontius
Pilate belonged to an .vcient anc
knightly Roman family. "Called to
gether." Pilate summons the rulers
and the people. 14. "As one thai
pervertetb." As one that has taughl
doctrines injurious to your religion
"Having examined." At the firsl
trial he had heard all that could be
brought against Him. "No fault.'
They had failed to prove a single
charge.
15. "Nor yet Herod." Christ had
traveled extensively in Galilee and
yet Herod brings no charge. "He
sent Him back un'o us" (R. V.) This
i' volved a distinct ?cquittal. "Ih
done unto Him." "Nothing worthj
of death hath been done by Him.'.'?
R. V.
16. "Cha^'.=e Him." John says
that Pilate took Jesus and scourged
Him; but this was not clone until a
little later. "And release Kim.*'
Pilate hop id that wien they says
Jesus scourged they would be satisfied,
but not so; they were clamoring
for His blood, and nothing short ol
r* -fV* at? q r%r*r\eo eaffhfln*
? VU WU c* \-l\JQB TTVU1U VUCUI.
17. "Must release one." This
verse is omitted in the Revised Version.
But see tne parallel accounts.
II. The clamo s of the Jews (vs.
18-23). 18. "They cried out." The
chief priests moved the people (Marfa
15:11). "Barabbas." An insurrectionist,
a robber and a murderer.
3 9. "Sedition." Insurrection,
Matthew says he was a celebrated
prisoner. In some manuscripts he
ca.led Jesus Baraboas.
20. "Willing to release-asus." It
was probable at this time that the
me -*nL>er cauie from Pilate's wife
(Matt. 2T: 19) urging the release of
Jesus. Pilate repeated the proposal
of verse 16. ?
21. "Crucify Him." Let Hizn die
the most ignominious death possible.
Had the Jews credited Him according
tc their law against faise prophets
and blasphemers they would .re
stoned Him, as they repeatedly attempted
to do, and as they did vith
Stephen. His prophecy of crucifixion
was practically a prophecy that He
should be put to death, as He actually
was, on a charge of high treason
against the Roman government. It
can hardly be supposed that these
people who were crying, "Crucify
Him," were the same people who had
brought Jesus into the city the Sunday
before with shoutB of hosanna.
This was a Jewish mob urged on by
the authorities; that was no doubt
largely a Galilean crowd.
22. "What evil hath He done."
How many and what various persons
bear testimony to the innocence of
the Holy One ? Pilate, Herod, Pilate's
wife, the thief on the cross, and
the centurion at the crucifixion. "And
let Him go.M Pilate is laboring hard
to release Him; he could'have ended
this whole matter with one word. It
was at this juncture that Pilate
asked, What shall I do then with
Jesus, which ia called Christ? This
Is a question every person must answer.
1. Every person must accept
TT" n T?
or reject rum. vmio?
is the great sin of the world. 3; If
we reject Him here we shall be rejected
by Him hereafter.
23. "Instant." Insistent, urgent.
"Prevailed." The reason why he finally
yielded seems to have been the
one given in John 19.12, "If thou let
this man go, thou art not Caesar's
friend." But Pilate gained nothing
even with Caesar, for he was soon
recalled, degraded and banished to
Gaul, where he committed suicide.
III. Pilate pronounces til# death
sentence (vs. 24, 25). 24j\>"PlIate
gave sentence." Before Pitotoipronounced
the sentence he tyopk water
and washed his hands puMtely, tlras
expressing in acts what he uttered in
words, "i am innocent of the blood of
this just person; see ye to it* (Mitt
27:24). The people accept tha fteponsibility
and cry. "His blood boon
us, and on our children.'' That blood
was upon them, not as vengeance
but as a natural consequence of theii
conduct. Within forty years the qffcr
was destroyed amid scenes of crooJij
which defy description. No histofj
can furnish us with a parallel to tlU
calamities and miseries of the Jewt
at that time. There was rapine, intir
der, famine, pestilence and all the
horrors of war. The account gfrei

again ascends the judgment seat
which was set up in a raised placfc ir
the open square, and delivers his Una
decree. 25. "He delivered Jesutfc
their will." Jesus is now mockapjftt
third time, about 8 o'clock, Fridac
morning, in the court of. Pilate'i>p?d
ace. See Matt. 27:26-30;-Mari^P*
15-19; John 19:1-3. When Jeso#^
brought out before them, Pilat
makes one last effort to release
(John 19:4-15). Now it is thifct.h'

back into the court and His( ffir
clothes are put unon Him. It
at this time that Pilate said, "Balrol<
the man!" And well may w6 sto
and behold Him. He was "a man c<.
sorrows, ana acqnamtea wun gner*
(Isa. 53:3). In Him we see a perfect
exhibition of meekness and "ove
and a perfect example for us to follow.
.He was the God-man and as
such made the great atdnement for
the redemption of mankind.
There's a deal of difference between
using the Bible as a text-book
of life and as a book of texts.
Uses 500,000,000 Matches a Day.
Estimate is made by a British
newspaper that the United Kingdom
consumes* 500,000,000 matches a
day, or about twelve for every man,
woman and child. Smokers probably
account for the greater number.
About ninety tons of wood are used
up in tne rorm oe maicnes every nay,
or about 35,000 tons a year. Sweden
and Norway export more than
25,000 tons of wood in matches every
year. In France, where the tax on
matches averages eight cents an inhabitant,
the consumption is comparatively
small.
Marvellons Automobile Speed.
The result of the automobile race
over the Ardennes course, in France,
proved a decided sensation. Duray,
HHviiifi- a De Dietrich, accomplished
wonders with his machine. His time
for 595 kilometres was five hours
thirty-eight minutes and thirtv-nlne
seconds, an average of sixty-six and
a quarter miles an hour.

There are in the United States
200,000,000 apple trees.
