Let us l*>ar in mind that wo oro in these
lessons in the last week of our Saviour's life
on earth and only two or three dnvs before
His crucifixion. Ho is speaking His last
wortis to them, and overy word is weightier
than they imagined, and of more importance
than ever we have yet seen. He continues to
speak unto them in parables, because they

them.
2$. "And ono of tho scribes came, and having
heard them reasoning together, and perceiving
that lie had answered them well,
asked Him, Which is the first commandment
of all?'' From Matt, xxii., 34, 35, wo learn
that this scribe was a lawyer and a Pharisee,
juid that ho came tempting Iliin. That ony
man or compauy of men should think that
they c ould entangle Jesus in His talk, or
catch Him in His words, and to that end
feign themselves just men (Matt, xxii., 15;
Murk xii., 13; !.?_ *e xx., 20), seems to us vory
foolish indeed; hut wo must remember that
t hey did not know Jesus and were blinded because
of their uubclicf. What seems more
strange is, that oven now in our day there is
just tlio same spirit that was manifest in
these unbelieving questioners
29. "Jesus answered him: Tho first of all
tpb commandments is, Hoar, O Israel; tho
Lord e' uod is one Lord." In this and tho
next rev e <>f , ;* le--'-u Jesus quotes from
Dout. \i., 4, 5; the word in Him richly

eretl Mount Sinai, out of the midst of the (
lire, the words of the ten commandments, of
winch, the Saviour hero gives tho sum, Ho ,
prefaced them with these words: "I am tho ,
Ixord thy God, which have brought theo out
of the land of Egypt, out of the liouso of
Vnnnlugo" (Ex. xx., 1, 2), and more than eighty
times this fact is mentioned in the law, the
prophets niul the Psalms,cither ns an evidence
.of His great love or as a reason why they
should obey Him. It was not till after He redeemed
them from Egypt's bondage that Ho
gave them I lis commandments, nor did Ho
ash them to love and serve Iliin until lie had
proved His great love to them. He comes
to us with the great gift of His Hon Jesus
Christ, assuring us that He so loved us as to
give llis Only Jtegotten Son for us; Jesus
Himself assures us of llis love by giving Himself
for us; and the Spirit through the apostles
is ever repeating the same great truth, and
not until wo can say: "We have known and
lielieve tho love which God hath toward us,"
can we also say: "We love Him," and then
wo will be sure to add: "lleeause He first
loved us." (1 John iv., 1(1-I'd.) God made
man for Himself that He might lavish His
love upon us and that we might bo for His

only Himself can satisfy our souls which lie
lias uuuV, and having given Himself for us
and to its in the [wmm of His Son, it is surely
reasonahle that wo should give to Him in return
the love of our whole heart, sou), mind
and strength.
' Ml. "And the second is like, namely, this:
Thou slialt love thy neighbor ns thj*self;
?i- there is none other commandment greater
, than these." As love to Hod comprehends
the lirst four of the ten commandments, so
love to man comprehends the other six; and
as our golden text says "Lovo is the fulfllling
of the law." These very words, "Thou
slialt love thy neighbor ns thyself," are another
quotnt ion from the law of Moses, and
ore found in J^<*v. xix., 18. When wo think
of the full significance of this love as defined
in 1 Cor., xiii., -1-7, long suffering, kind, free
from envy, not. vaunting itself, not puffed up
nor la-having unseemly, socking not her own,
not provoked (It. V.), thinking no evil, etc.,
where can we look for any illustration of it
except in Ilim who in our lesson has thus replied
to this scribe? It is ns if 11c said to him,
in Moses you find tin5 law, but in Me you find
the law fulfilled, for that law is in my heart,
and I came to fulfill nil righteousness; receive
Hie, poor, helpless sinner, and I will lie to
you the end of the law for righteousness;
yea, 1 will lie your righteousness.
IW. "And the scribe said unto Him. Well,
Master, thou hast said the truth; for there is
;>nc God; and there is none other but He."
Tlie serilie ltelievcd in one Hod and thus far
accepted the truth, buttle was blind to the
fact, that the Truth stood before him in human
form, Hod manifest in the llesli. He knew
that the God of Israel once tabernacled in a
tent in the wilderness, ami also at tlilgal and
Shiloli in the Holy T>mid, and afterward in
Solomon's temple at Jerusalem; but he did
not know that the same God had now emtio
and had already tnliernaeled among them
more than thirty years in the body prepared
for Him (John i., 14; Hel?. x., .r0; and that it
was lie that talked with him.
;c?. "Ami to love 11 i 11 with all the heart,
and with all the understanding, and with all
the soul, ami with nil the strength, and to
love his neighbor as himself, is more than
whole burnt offerings and sacrifices." Truly
this man seems enlightened; lie not only
knew the truth when ho heard it, but Im
seemed to understand it, and to know the difference
lictweoii outward, formal worship
ami real heart service; lie seemed to understand
that no amount of hurnt offering or
sacrifice would avail unless there wns on the
part ol' the offerer a spirit, of true obedience
and n grateful sense of the love of Clod.

"More Tbnn Conquerors."
| A conqueror may compel subm'snon, but
he cannot eomiiel love. The conquered nation
may be tilled with hatred and thirst for
revenge. Christ is more than a conqueror,
for He not merely subdues 11 s p ople under
His sway, hut IIo draws out their aITcctions
to Himself; His enemies are thus changed
into loving and devoted friends. The persecuting
Saul, breathing out threat'nines and
slaughter, and making havoc of the cnurch,
became tho devoted apostle Paul, to whom
"to live was Christ." The I hristian is "more
than a conqueror." The tribulation, distress
and persecution but lead him all the closer
to Christ ; so that ho not merely submits to
those seeming ills, but lie rcioie s in tribulation,
and ne'.ually thanks Christ for sending
it. The sting is taken out of the persecution,
and tho Christian rejoices that ho is counted
worthy to suffer for Christ's sake.?Gc.orye

It is said that an old Scotch elder had once
n s rious dispute with his minister nt an
ciders' meeting. Ho said some things that
nearly broke tno ministers heart. Afterword
he went home, and tho minister went home,
too. The next morning t.lio elder came down,
anil his wife said to him: "Ye look sail,
John; what is tho matter with vo ?" "All,"
he replied, "Vou would look sad, too, if you
hail such a dream as 1 have. I dreamed that
I h:ul been at the elders' meeting, and lmd
said somo hard things and grieved i
the minister; and when ho went homo I
I thought ho died and went to heaven;

Denied, Yet Answered.
When Augustine, in his homo at Cartling
res -lved to visit ltoine, his mother
wished either to prevent him from going, or
to go with him. Ho would listen to neither
proposal, anil resorted to a triek to carry out
his plan. One evening ho went to tho soashoro,
and his mothor followed. Tliero
were two chapels dedieated to tho memory
of the ninrlyr Cyiirian, and lio pressed her
to sp 'lid one evening in tho church of the
mnrfcyr, while ho wo.dd aecom])any a friend
on board a ship, there to say farewell.
While she was there in tears, praying
and wrestling with O-d to prevent tho
voyage, Augustine sailed for Italy, and
his deceived mother next morning found
herself nlono. In quiet resignation sho returned
to i' e eitv and continued to pray f r
the salvation of her son. Though meaning
well, yet she erred in her )>rayo- x. for tho
journey of Augustine was tho means of his
salvation. The denial of tlieprnj'er was in
fact, the answering < f it. Instead of tho
husk, (Jo granted rather tho subslnnco of
her petition in the conversion of her son.
"Therefore, ' said ho, "O (toil, thou hast rogard
to tho aim and essence of her <1 sires,
and didst not do what sho then prayed for,
that thou mightest <lo for mo what sho continually
implored."?Sel.
Ripeness in Character.
Rev. Charles H. Rpurgeon beautifully illustrates
the marks of ripeness ill Christian
character sum-what as follows: Olio mark
is beauty. Rife fruit Ins its own perfect
beauty. As tho fruit ripens, tho sun tints it
with surpassing loveliness, and the colors
drojioti till the beauty of tho fruit is equal to
the beauty of the blossom, and in some respects
superior. There is iu rip* Christians
the beauty of realized sanctitiealion, which
the Word ?f <?od knows by tlio name of
"beaut3* of holiness."
Another mark of ripe fruit is tenderness.
The young, green fruit is hard and stone-like;
but the ri. e fruit is soft, yields to the pressure.
<'iin almost be moulded, retains the
mark of the linger. So it is with the mature
Christian; I10 is noted for tenderness of
spirit.
Another mark of ripeness is sweetness.
The unripe fruit is sour.and p-limps it. ought
to be, or el-e we should 1 at, all the fruits
while they are yet green. It inav, therefore,
lie in the order of grace a lit thing that in
tin- 3'outhful Christian some sharpness slu-iil I
1?* formed which will ultimately be removed.
As we grow in grace we are sure to grow in
charity, sympathy ami lovo; we shall hnve
greater and more intense affection for the
person of llim "whom having not seen, wo
love;"'we shall have greater d-dight in the
preci mis things of His gospel; the doctrines
which perhaps we did not understan I at
Urst, will becomo marrow and fatness to us
as we advance in grace. We shall feel that
tln-re is honey dropping from the homo comb
in the deep things of our religion.
We shall, a-t we rip-n in grace, have
greater sweetness toward our fob
l...u <'l>i-ivtifnw Itilli'i-.siiiriled Christians
limy know a groat deal. iiut t hey nro immature.
Tlios'* who nro quick to censure may
he very in judgment, hut tlioy nro as
yet immature in heart. I know we who nro
young beginners in grje> think ourselves
qualified to reform the whole Christian
church. We drag her liefore us ami conilemn
her straightwav; hut when our virtues
hecomc mora mature I trust we shall
not he more tolerant of evil, hut wo shall ha
m ro tolerant of infirmity, more hoiieful for
the |H>oj)|e of (1 <1, anil certainly less arrogant
in our criticisms.
Another ami a very sure marl: of ripeness
is a loose liokl if earth. Ki|>e fruit easily

and the ripe apples fall. If you wish to eat
frtsh fruit you put out your ha* il to pluck

you had I>etter leave it alone a little longer,

STRIKX FOR FREEDOM.
Oh, slave of the cup, say how long will you

And body and soul in the darkest eclipse*

Will you cringe to tho men who stand by the

And leave in saloons tho hard earnings of

And lie scourged by its stripes on the suppliant
knee?
With your neck 'neath the feet of tho tyrant

Give your money and life to Gambrinus and

No! Arise and be free in a land that is free!
Let your appetites drown like the swine in

A NEAT RETORT.
Pastor Home, of Ayr, Scotland, having
uiade a pungent reference to the drink truffle
in one of liis sermons, letters poured in
upon hiui calling him everything but- a gentleman,
and one publican sent him a ticket with
these words inscribed on it: "Admit the liearer
to any lunatic asylum in the United Kingdom
Or Cokmies. Reserved seat." Mr. Homo's
retort was rather neat. "I was always of
opinion," said he, "that publicans kept admission
tickets to lunatic asylums, for the use of
their customers, and now I am sure of it. I
intend to get that ticket framed as a trophy."

THE DRUNKARD'S SON.
A bright looking boy entered the Chestnut
Street. Police Stjiiin" h?t r)igi>t JJo UOCElcd ,
to lie in great distress. 1
"Well, my little fellow," said the big, but ,
kind-hearted Sergeant at the station "what ,
is troubling you?" 1
"Please, sir,is my mamma locked up here?"
"Who is your mnmma?"
"Please, sir, her name is Martin."
The Sergeant looked at the record book on
which the names of all prisoners were regis- 1
tered. i
"Yes, here is her name." ,
"Please, sir, can I see her?"
"She is drunk. I don't think it would do
you any good, my little man. Como took
again in nil hour." i
The poor little fellow, with his eyes filled
with tears, turned slowly, nnd reluctantly
left the office. i
In exactly an hour he returned. He had
not been very far away, but sj>cnt the time
in going from storo to store watching the
hour.
This time he was admitted to the door of
the cell. The mother had recovered partially
from the drunken stupor.
"I will let her out in n little while, my |
hoy,'' said the Sergeant, pnttmg the hoy s
curly head. The latter's eyes brightened.
"Oh, thank you, sir," he said.
"Where is your father? Is he dead?"
"No, sir, papa, he is at home."
"Why don't ho come down for your
mother?"
Again the boy's eyes filled with big tears.
"Because, sir, he is drunk, too."
"Poor boy," muttered the officer, "if you
should "row up to be a sol?er man yon would
indeed be a model."
"Mamma was always so kind and good,"
he continued between bis sobs. "Papa drank
so hard, and then she thought she'd stop him
if she did it too. No they both get drunk so
often."
The recollections of his miserable home
seemed to flit across thelioy's mind and again
he burst into tears, and the officers expressed
much sympathy for the l>oy, whoso love for
a drunken mother was so earnest, so deep. It

coming in from tho counties m the State
show the storm to have been a very peculiar
one. The snow aud rain was accompanied by
thunder and lightning, and much damage was
done. Near Mount Airy rain began to fall in
torrents and continued until at about 2 p. M.,
when the snow began. In some places It was
from eight to tenrinchea^ieop. A terrific gait
of wind was blowing, and the snow was
bliiuling. A singular feature of tho storm
was that while the snow fell thoro wero continuous
peals of thunder and vivid flashes of
lightning. From Knoxvillo down tho tele
graph polos and wires were strewn in all
directions. Throughout tho State nearly all
the wiros were down. On the bay the wind
blew a gale.
TEMPEST-TORN TAHITI.
The Society Islands Swept by Hur
rlcans and Torrents.
The samo hurricane which raged so dis
astrously over the Samoan Islands Marol
15 was felt with terrific force at Tahiti
where tho island was swept by wind am
flood, and thousands of lives were said t
have been lost.
The waters poured over the level land
forming the outer portion of the island, am
the capital city, Bapoiti, was entirely sul
mergea in the torrent. Houses were carrie
away, tho pub'.io buildings ruined and dc
vastation was spread every where.
The interior of the island is mountah
oua. Some of the lvacple managed to reae
these high lauds and thus escaped the flooi
but tho number who perished is far largo
and was beyond calculation.
Tho level tracts of land in the island nr
fertile, and tho chief dependence of the in
habitants for food has been upon tho fruit
ami vegetables raised there. Thesa oro|
wore destroyed and tho people who escape
the flood found themselves confronted by th
danger of famine.
Tahiti is about 1500 miles from Ramon, i
an east south-east direction. It is thirtj
two miles long, and the island is uride
French control. Its capital city, 1'apeit
has about a thousand inhabitants. On tt
Island of Tonga thirty iwrsons jierished an
the storm did great damage.

Advices received at Brussels, Belgiui
from Stanley Falls state that Arabs who ha
arrived there report that Henry M. Stent
and Einin Pasha were heard from in Febr
ary. They were then marching towai
Zanzibar, with several thousand men, wonn
and children. They also had (1000 tusks
ivory. The Arabs who brought news
Stanley and Emin arrived atStaidey Falls
February. They claimed to have seen Sta
ley several months before that time.
This report, says the New York Post, seei
to 1k> a confirmation of the rumor, publish
recently, that Stanley was on Ins way to t
East Const, and it would also indicate tii
he had safely rejoined Emin according tot
plan mentioned in tho letter just publish*
nnd that the latter had determined finally
return to civilization with all the lin
women ami children attached to his co
mand. This would apparently fulfil the nm
object of Stanley's e.\|iedition, although tin

A" REJECTED NOMINEE.
Marat Halstead, Whom the Seuete
Re rased to Send to Germany*
J
Murat Halstead, nominated by President
Harrison for Minister to Germany, and rejected
by tbe Senate, is one of the best-known
figures in American journalism. He was
born in North Carolina in 1S?0, but moved to
Cincinnati with his parents in 1843. He be
gan me as an office-boy and than became a
reporter. Later he entered Farmers' College,
and continued to contribute to the newspapers.
He worked on several papers atter
leaving college, and in 1854 became a member
ol the llrm which owned the Cincinnati
Commercial, a paper afterward consolidated
with the Gazette.
Mr. Halstead has for many years been a
force in Ohio Republican polities, although
he has made some remarkable changes of
opinion. He strongly criticised General
Grant's course during the war and was opposed
to the use of colored troops. He was
one of the Liberal Republicans who supported
Horace Greeley for the Presidency In
I8rj. He was formerly an opponent of Mr.
Hlalno, but is now u warm friend of the
Secretary of State.
Six of the Republican Senators?Messrs.
Suay, Toller, Ingalls, Plumb, Evarte and
>t?wi'g ? ?ro l)ndarstood tp have Vpted agajnfrt
Blackburn and Call?for him, making the
vote 25 to 1> against confirmation. Eleven
Republican Senators in all are said to have
been ready to vote against him if moro votes'
to reject nod been required. The Republican
opposition to Mr. Llalstead was because
of attacks upon Republican United States
Senutors winch he bail made in his paper a
few years ago for refusing to investigate
charges of bribery in connection with Senator
Payne's election by the Ohio Legislature.
