R io Text of the Lesson, Lake xil, 37-48?Hem- ^ orj Verses, 37, 38?Golden Text, Eph. , 18?Commentary by the Rev. D. H. e(] Stearns. pj 87. "Blessed are those servants whom tho Lord, when He cometh, shall find watching." Faithful service is the topio in for today, and there is nothing more puri- di fying, or more conducive to faithfulness w than watching for the coming of the Lord. f0 I testify from a personal experience of 20 ^ years. If the heart is full of fears or cares, , . both of whioh are fully dealt with in the preceding part of this chapter, wo shall Pe neither be watchful nor faithful, but if we se live in and for our Father's good pleasure pi (verso 82) all fears banished by His perfect pc love and all cares cast upon Him (I John tb lv, 18; I Pet. v, 7), then our treasure be- ai lng In heaven we will be watching for the q, Son from heaven. From the nrst assurance of a Deliverer (Gen. ili, 15) to the end 01 of the book we are ever reading of tho ct Coming One to suffer and to reign (I B Pet. 1, 11). He came once, at God's ap- ge pointed time, to suffer, and the Simeons m and Annas watched for Him. He is coming again. Blessed are the watchers. g, 88. "Blessed are those servants." Those , who will not be taken by surprise should Pj He come at any moment of the /light or ^ day. While these lessons are very prac- ^ tical and must be applied to the heart of m every believer a glance at verse 86 will pi show that the watchers here specially re- a ferred to are Israel, who when Jesus shall y come in His glory shall, in the words of Isa. xxv, 9, acknowledge Him as their " Messiah. I certainly do not wait and aI watch for Him to return from the wed- A. ding, for as a part of Himself, His body, to T nrnonf; tn h? At. t.hft WfiHHincr fl WIO WMU4WMJ A V?|/W? -w ?- ?w .. ? 0. v89. "If the goodman of the house had p] known what hour the thief would come, U1 he would have watched." His ooming as a thief is mentioned In I Thess. v, 2; II Pet. ill, 10; Rev. ill, 8; xvi, 15, but only in reference to His enomies and the day of the Lord. Listen to I Thess. v, 4, 6: gi "But ye brethren are not in darkness, . that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light and m the childron of the day. We are not of the tonight nor of darkness." fo 40. "Be ye therefore ready also, for the w Son of Man cometh at an hour when ye 0f think not." The title, "Son of Man," tc takes us back to Ps. viii, 4-6, and to Dan. , vii, 18, 14, 87, and shows the coming ruler of Israel and of the world, in which official capacity the head and body, Christ w and His church, shall bo manifest as one ai (I John iii, 2; Col. iii, 4; I Thess. iii, 18). re Neither death, which is an enemy, nor the di Spirit at Pentecost, who came as another w Comforter, nor the destruction of Jeru- . salem, which is contrary to Ps. cli, 16, can in any Scriptural senso bo said to bo a w coming of the Son of Man. Lot us not omit the lesson that is in this and similar ci verses for our own souls. Be ready for oi service or glory any moment. ^ 41, 42. "And the Lord said, Who, then, w is that faithful and wise steward?" This in answer to Peter's question as to whether T Vin/1 Kaon annulrinty cmw>lal1tr ho UUO 1AJIU il?u MVVM Uf/VMU.UQ U|/W.uU|> %,w them or to all. He seems to aDswer, E " Whosoever will may bo a faithful and wise ai steward." In I Cor. lv, 1-5, Paul speaks of himself and fellow laborers as stewards of 0j the mysteries of God and says that the one e, thing required of a steward is to be found faithful, and that in view of the coming of the Lord. "Meat In due season" Is also re- ^ ferred-to In I Cor. ill, 3; Heb. v, 12-14, and the difficulty of giving meat when one a can only take milk. 48. "Blessed is that servant, whom his aj Lord when He cometh, shall find so do- m ing." It will be sad Indeed for the serv ants who are giving stones for bread and, the poison of unbelief Instead of the milk and meat and honey of the word of the Master. The Bible Is a complete equip- tt ment for every man of God, sufficient to p] furnish him thoroughly for every good work (II Tim. ill, 16, 17), and the preach er who steps outside of the word of God for a topio for his people is dishonoring the e: Word of God and grieving the Spirit of m God. The one business of every teacher m and preacher is to be, like Haggai, the tl Lord's messenger with the Lord's message Q? (Hag. i, 13). 44. "Of a truth I say unto you that he will make him ruler over all that he hath." It is said of Abraham's eldest servant that al "fie ruled over all that he had" (Gen. at xxiv, 2), for "all the goods of his master bi were in his hand" (verse 10). It is said of di Joseph that Potiphar "made him overseer )e over all that he had" and that Pharaoh u. "set him over all the land of Egypt" (Gen. xxxlx, 5; xli, 41). Jesus said of the j?1 Spirit, "He shall receive of mine and shall show it unto you. All things that the Fa- Q< ther hath are mine" (John- xvi, 14, 15). ci r\ u? u r\ ~Ul\A n^A sxt-,*. .?! vuubluujt YYUilj KJ Oil jiu kjk uuu, vu1 [11dovuu a j privileges and future glories and be faith- jD ful. r{ 45, 46. "His portion with the unbelievers." Thereforo this servant was never a , true servant; but, liko Judos, only num- rt< berod with thein. There is no Scripture sc that oontradicts or really oonflicts with si the statemenc of our Lord that His sheep ci can never perish (John x, 27-29). The fr professed servant who lends his tongue to the evil one to lash other servants and at the same time gives himself up to the intoxications of this world's attractions had D< better oonsider oro it be too late these sol- a emn words of Him who shall be our judge, tc "Not every one that saith Lord, Lord, but gi he that doeth the will of my Father" jr| (Math, vii, 21). "Whosoover will be a C( friend of the world is the enemy of God" m (Jas. lv, 4). "Ye cannot serve God and mammon" (Luke xvi, IS). If one chooses to be an unbeliever, he cannot expect othei than the unbellevors' portion. tl 47, 48. If I understand the teaching of pj these two vorses, it is that while all unbe- uj lievors, whether professedly servants of ^ God or not, shall go to the place of torment there shall be decrees af torment in c proportion to thoir guilt. I am in the ^ habit in my preaching of putting it this ej way: Those who receive Jesus Christ are tl saved freely by His graoe, and all are aj eqiihlly saved (Rom. ill, 24), but each jt saved soul will be rewarded or given his ^ wages according to his works (Rev. xxli, 12; Luke xiv, 14; I Cor. ill, 18-15), so U( that while there are no degrees in salva- ni tlon thero are in glory (I Cor. xv, 40-42). ni Those who reject Christ will be lost be- ai oause of their rejection of Him, whethor 'f professedly His or not, but thoir torment p( will be in proportion to their guilt. The f)j servants of these two verses cannot be truo J servants of God, for such are not beaten or . punished, becauso the chastisement of our 1S peace was upon Him who was made sin ai for us (Isa. liil, 5; II Cor. v, 21). Wher- ti ever weeping or wailing and gnashing of a* teeth is mentioned it is always with reference to those who profess what they are not (Math, vili, 12; xiii, 42, 50; xxli, 18; ,p xxiv, 51; Luke xiii, 28, etc.). . t . tl There is a larger number of el Baptist papers in the South than in any D( other section of the Union.

In rich soil he would cut a smi em to one eye, if a proportionate I the nount of the potato was left with it. stirri n the eye end be would have only until le eye and all meat. B. F.

Brown always cuts seed of .. edium size into from four to six eces, witn not leas man iwo eyes to piece, and plants one in a place. T. I . Munson, of Texas, would cut seed Jtatoes into four slips, lengthwise, id plant oue piece in a hill. Chas. ^ . Green prefers as much of the potaas possible. O. H.

Why does he Fe! it back a tree to sucn a damaging ctent ? Simply to maintain the bailee of equilibrium between the Fixil nount of roots and the quantity of j anches and twigs. When a tree is o iig up, a large portion of the root is s: ft in the ground, and the top must ?| } cut off in proportion. The great _ ^ ractical lesson to be learned from this J) ct is to watch every tree that does Towi it grow as rapidly as it should, and Se* it away one-fourth, or half, or even 1 of the top, sometimes leaving noth- fake g but a hare stub. As soon as the or L >ots begin to take a vital hold on the ?us lil, there will be sufficient sap to j?rth ivelop good twigs and buds. A per- Cond in who does not understand this in tl ibject correctly will lack courage to ^J11 it off a tree top. I have cut many ge( uit trees from April until August, Publ jfore I could remove enough of the he nr ip to induce the tree to send out ew buds and grow vigorously. When pub! tree does not grow well, I saw the othei ip squarely off a few feet from the round, aud cover the wound with pera rafting wax. Many trees die or be- aolla ime feeble because they carry too car.ri: ,uch top. dol'la . . bors( Abuse of the Eye.?The abuse of k"*" ie eye is the crime of the age.

We are wearing our liinh ;'es over books, desks aud types, and ie effect shows itself not only in the this ( ppearance of the organ itself; but iu shall s retroactive effect on nerve and ^ rain. I have a remedy for sleepless- ' ess, and for the reason thut I have stroe ever known it to fail I am fortified in not 11 iy opinion that the whole trouble rises from overstrain of the eyes, ake a soft cloth?say a piece of nap- ^'SE ed towel?and fold in it two small ieces of ice at a proper distance apart p ?exactly cover the eyes when the cloth ? laid across them. Then lie down, ad adjust the cloth with the ice over -A-' le closed eyes, and yon will be sleep in a very short while. pn A Mother's Remedy For Croup. ^urj he following sensible letter of "Hate" we find in the Cincinnati Enquir : "For the benefit of those who do Jar Dt know how to cure th<? croup, I ill send a never failing remedy. I ive always doctored my owlvchilren when they had the croup, 2od 1 we had over 30 cases, and I h^ve is in ;verlost one. Immediately after the A W -st symptoms, take the child .on )ur lap and wrap it in a wa^m \ - cet, putting it snugly around the f per. Then have a warm fire built, lit as close to it as possible. Next, a double dose of castor oil; put about a quart of strong vinegar coffeepot, and make it boiling hot. open the lid and let the little nt inhale the steam. This will give relief. Indeed, they will for it after they have tried it. I cured membranous croup in this when everything else bad failed, no time should be lost in coming, and as soon as the child is ; with sweat, and wants to sleep, t in bed." re For a Cold.?I have two or i times within the last three hs, been attacked by a violent in the head, the catarrh or dis;e from the nose and eyes being distressing. On each occasion I speedily cured myself by slicing >r three acid cookiug apples into all saucepan of hot water, which n boiled for half an hour or so, ng occasionally with a spoon the apples were quite dissolved thin, pulpy soup. This, sweetenith sugar, I then drank. In less an hour afterwards I felt the giving way, and in two or three s more it disappeared entirely, happeuing to have a lemon by n the first occasion, I tried this dy as a substitute and can now dently recommend it.
