utw.wiiaA.-vi vr'iYn a heavy sleeper, not a i

so't and regular; it was Intended to test
whether you wero asleep or not. Tho moment
a light appeared the sound ceased?
tho girl had gono hack to tho bay. From
the landing sho could see when the light
was put out. and it was safe to recommence
tho attack. Tho candle was lit with some
difficulty tho second time; Miss Lascelles
possibly stood with her buck to tho window
as sho held tho vesta. Lola may have detected
tho first glimmer, and uncertain or
not whether it was safo to continue, turned
i tho blind, and looked through. At thnt moment
tho wick burned up. and Miss
Luacellos turning, saw tho girl's eyes between

her mistake, unci retreated. Do
you doubt now t'.ie purpose with which
, brace has gone to seek the g!ri to-day?"
I was forced to admit that his uxplunation
was feasible, yot I could not believe
thnt Lola, who soomed sincerely attached
to me. would consent to aid in my ruin
merely at tho instigation of her tather,
whoso authority she habitually disregarded.
I said this to Van lloeck.
, "It is because she in attaohed to you?bocuua:

What could bo more gratifying to her savage
disposition than to take away tho diamond
thut tins created thin difference between
you nnd her, and to ieuuee you onei
inoro to her level. It is tho only hope she
can have of getting you away ftom Miss Lascdlos.
and restoring the former condition of
equality upon which your companionship
with her restod."
Again I was compelled to admit tho forco
of Van Hocck's argument.
"Hut why." I asko I. "should Brace trust
such a perilous undertaking to his daughter
V"
I "For an obvious reason," ho repliod. "If
I you caught her in tho act of robbing, you
would not rnlso your hand against her; if
you caught him. you would blow his brains
but. For hor you would tliul excuse; for
> him none."
In thin there was truth also.
' "Talking of that." ho continued, "what
arms do yon koep about you for defense?"
ni'iifi * M3|'in;u.
"I thought so. Tako this." ho said, drawing
a long clasp-knifo from hia breastpocket.
, Ho showed the spring with which the nariow
blade opened, and tho catch which
Ised to close my window, which I habitually
kept open at night, and to secure the fastenii
g ot that, as well an the door, bofore
I going to bed. Finally, ho exacted that I
. should oree mo o Inclose tho Hespor in tho
3 leather euso. and strap it to my waist tho
1 last thing atn<gh t.
3 Tho Jud.zo did not return until dusk. Ho
- was fatigued* and his general appearance
3 indicated a pursuit through rough and
n thorny ways.
1 "I hev scon the Kid." ho said; "but she
b would not listen to reason; and not bein'
, afeored of sp'iling hor clothes she nut'rally
f got the best of tho argument, and played it
d low down on her father."
3 Ho advocated starving her into bettor bora
havior, and woull have had tho door cloned
i to cut off her communication with the dairy.
. but Mis i Luscclles would not listen to this;
j siio would not yield to foar. and declined to

I that the burning of the oil in the lamp at

from the floor under my foot as I chanted
a my position. Instinctively I looked toward

I went to tho window, drew up the blind

t thought it might be the flutter of leaves in

I f opened the door noiselessly. All was

It was just the same pound that I heard be- am

'27. 'Hie command, 'I/)Vt your enemies,'*
i strikes t.lie average citiz-M? of the world ax
strangely as it must liuve appeared to the
i Oulilu>an Jew. It seems to hint unnatural.
It is not according to human nature, but to
the divine. The verb "to love" lias*lit least
tlireo different meanings' (I) To bo please-1
or delighted with, to l>" fond of. or to regard
with affection ltccause of qualities which exhove
a moral regard for. In this sense wo
ought to love enemies. Oh Lovo is used in a
ball sense of lust.
It is the love which has benevoleuee toward
others and a regard for their moral wellboing
which we ought to exercises towanl

Jf*. There are four-stepsor grades between
wickedness and |>erfeet righteousness (1* Man
may l>ate those who love liisn. This allies
him to devils. Had men hate tfod, who loves
them. "Cod so loved the world," etc. (John

is natural to give blow for blow.

' ti Man may love those who love him. This
too is human. Men generally are up to that
standard; even ''sinners also love those that
love them '' it- Man may love those that,
hate him. This is the divine rule. It is not
uncommon "to act out hwmau nature. * It
takes grace and a Christ-like nature, a renewed
human heart, to "hless them that

W. The lihwul tctuls prevailing in the Knst
needed a sharp rebuke. The custom was:
blow for blow, blood for blood, and the spirit
id retaliation ran through whole families and
generations. The principle here taught is
that followersof Christ are to submit to and
stiller wrong rather than to lake I lie law into
their own hands or return violence for violence.
It surely does not rouuire us to place
ourselves at the mercy of a drunken man cr
allow n cra/v person to la-at old our brains,
with uo elTort to save our lives. The rule
hasobviousipialillcalions, but ilic spirit of
tlie principle lashings b.? tlm loumlalion of
all true Christina life.
10. Again it is not indiscriminate giving
thnt is commended, but the spirit of true,
wise mid considerate i-hnrily t\'e might givo
I of some things and in such a manner as to ruin
t lie soul of the receiver To justify such
acts from Uiiscoiiiiiiaud is completely to per
vert its purpose and meaning 11 is the habit
of generous, unselfish and loving lienevolenco
that Jesus would liave llis dis

A few great minds hail groped nftor something
like It, but found it only in a negative
format tlio best. Confucius nliout ."VHi l?.
C. states it in this way '"What I do not
wish men to do to me. I also wish not to do
to men.'' Jesus put this truth in a positive
form, and not merely required an abstaining
from evil to our neighbors, tint en joined into
do the same good to them whieh we would
have othei-s do to u.<; a wide dilfereucc tietw?>eij
these two |?rim-i|iles.
ifci Man may return (li Good for g<xv1,
evil for evil, this is Innna i; even sinners do
that. Evil for good, this is devilish, but
some l>ad "men do that and so lieeonio like
demons. CI' Good for evil, this is divine.
No thanks are to bo given for loving those
that love us. or for doing good to those who
do good to us; sinners do that, disciples
.^KOUld-not on that level rise above common
?5rtpaer*.
| na.~ff<otoo tt yontefut to those that jou ex|
peotwdl repay you. that is still on rlie lower
irvci in common siniul men. There is no
proof of Christ-likeness in such nets. The
disciple is to rise t? a higher plane of con
duet, one more nearly al'ied to the spirit of
( that Father who so loved the world in its sin
i that He gave His only In-gotten Son, that
whosoever believctli 111 Him might not |>erislt,
but have everlasting life. While we were
enemies Christ died tor us. This is the spirit
which Christians should exercise toward the
worldly the enemies of Christ and ..of the
Christ like.
115. Are Christians to offer themselves a
sacrifice to the cruel god of this world, to bo
persecuted, buffeted, made wretched and to
lie hacked in pieces by the sword, roasted by
tire or torn limb from limb by the rack or the
i wild tieasts and have 110 compensation no reI
wardt Nay. the reward is great. ExI
ercising this lovo of beuevolonco toward
I enemies exalts to sonship of the
I Most High. As h? is kind toward th? uuthnnkfiil
and the. evil, Christ's disciples, following
this example, may become heirs of
God and joint heirs with Christ. Merov >s
one of the attributes of God Himself were it
not so, all men must have miserably perished
forever. Discijdes are to imitate tho
irnrnpr m UIIK Pitmnju grnc.
Harsh, censorious judging of others is a .
common fault of worldly men in all ages.
The motives of others are censured and often
uncharitably judged, and a spirit of faultfinding
works much harm lo religious life
and growth. We are not exhorted to regard
all men alike, irrespective of their
character. A man is not to l>e a "goodisli
weakling." thinking or s]>oaking of
wicked mon in the same terms that ho
would of the godly. While avoiding a
. censorious, severe, harsh spirit of condemnai
tion, he is not to fly to the opposite extreme
; of counting all men alike good, and go so far
as even to excuse the devil for his most flourish
acts. The disciple is to have the loving,
forgiving spirit of the Father, even in dealing
with the sinner, wliilo he must condemn
his sin.
18. in Christian conduct there is to l>e a
generosity born of the renewed nature, like
the divine. Not judging, but giving, must
be tho characteristic of Christ's disciples.
This boundless generosity is lo go out
toward saint and sinner. If you would
have generous measure, give it; thus again
the Golden Rule as a positive principle
is enforced. The gift will lie in your bosom;
an Eastern figure. For in tho dress then
