Building Lesson Text: “Washing the Disciples Feet,” John xiif., 1-1T—Golden Text: Phil. ii. 5— Commentary. 1. “Now before the feast of the passovar, when Jesgs knew that His hour was come that He should depart out of this world unto the Father.” This is that passover concern ing which He had said that He heartily d» sired to eat it with them before He suffered (Luke xxii., 15). When we read of the pass- over we should always think of the words, “Christ our passover is sacrificed for us” (I Cor. v.. 7). “Having loved His own which were in the world. He loved them unto the end.” Knowing all about them, and how one would '•eny Him and all forsake Him, yet He loved them with an everlasting, unchanging love. •Tudas never was really His, but the others, with all their sins, were His own. 2. “And supper being ended.the devil hav ing now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son. to betray him.” The revised version says “during supper.” As to the character of Judas from the very first, see ! chapter vi., 70, “Have I not chosen you , twelve, and one of you is a devil?” Profess ing to be a disciple of Christ, he was in real ity a disciple of the devil. 3. “Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He was come from God and went to God.” Nothing •will enable us to have & true spirit of humility like the consciousness that we are the children of God and joint heirs with Christ, one with Him who is possessor of heaven and earth. 4. “He riseth from supper, and laid aside His garments, and took a towel and girded Himself ” Jesus could not do anything im perfectly. The laying aside of His garments reminds us of Israel’s high priest, who on the day of atonement laid aside his garments of glory and beauty that, clothed only in white linen, he might go into the holy of holies to make atonement for the sins of the nation (Lev, xvi., 4). It also suggests to us that Jesus laid aside the glory which He had with the Father before the world was, that He might become our atonement to cleanse us from all sin (II Cor. viii., 9; v. 21). 5. “After that He poureth water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith He was girded.” When John saw Him in vision on the isle of Patmos He was still the girded one, “Girt about the breasts with a golden girdle” (Rev. i., 13). The girdle in dicates service. When on earth in His hu miliation He said: “I am among you as He that serveth.” 6. “Then cometh He to Simon Peter, and Peter saith unto Him. Lord, dost Thou wash my feet.” Peter’s thought probably was that he could not think of having his Lord stoop to do for him so menial a service. He did not as yet know the true spirit of Christ. That this feet washing was the most menial service, see the request of Abigail when David offered to make her his wite (I Sam. xxv., 41). 7. “Jesus auswered and said unto him. What 1 do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.” This verse is often used to comfort those who are in perplexity concerning God’s dealings with them in this present life, and they are told that they shall know hereafter—that is, in the world to come. It is all true that what is now dark and mysterious shall bo clearly known in the kingdom, for “Now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face; now we know in part, but then shall we know even as we are known” (I Cor. xiii., 12). These words to Peter may, however, have meant that he would know a little later that very evening, after Jesus had finished the feet washing (see verses 14,15). 8. “Peter saith unto Him, Thou shalt never wash my feet.” This may seem like humility, but it is iu reality resisting the loving and all wise Saviour. Rather should Peter have said, “Be it unto me as Thou wilt.” “Jesus answered him, If I wash thee now thou hast no part with Me.” Whatever we may be morally or religiously, if, we are not •ashed from our sins by His blood we have _" tiia-Hiafc—— 9. “Simc.-Peter saith uuto Him,Lord not my feet only, but also my hands and my head." The thought of having DP part with Jesus makes Peter anxious to be thoroughly washed. 10. “Jesus saith unto him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his root, but is clean every whit.” When we receive Jesus as our Saviour we are immediately cepted in Him, and are washed, justifiei sanctifi&d, complete in Him, so that by His finished work we are made perfectly whole as to our standing before God and accept ance with God. 10,11. “And ye are clean, but not all. For He knew who should betray Him; there fore said He, Ye are not all clean.” Judas never was clean; he was only a disciple in name: he was of the number of the twelve (Luke xxii., 3), but never really of the twelve. As to the other eleven, who were disciples indeed,although in themselves weak and sinful, yet in Christ they were clean, and by His merits made meet for the in heritance of the saints in fight (Col. i., 12). 12. “So after He had washed their feet, and had taken His garments, and was set down again. He said unto them. Know ye what I have done to you?” “He is now about to make good His word to Peter. ‘Thou shalt know hereafter, or after these things’ (verse 7). Teaching by object lessons begun in Eden with the Tree of Life, the cherubim and the flaming swor.i. 13. “Ye call Me Master and Lord; and ye say well, for so I am.” He had taught them that He was their Master, and He only, and that they were not to call each other master (Math, xxiii., 8, 10). Master signifies teacher, and is so translated in John iii., 2, and else where. Lord signifies a ruler or possessor or proprietor. In the Old Testament, Lord, when all in capitals, is the great name Jeho vah, the self assistant, the Righteous, but when only the L is a capital and the ord small letters, then it is Adonai, signifying possessor or proprietor, and is first found in Gen. xv., 2, in connection with Jehovah (for God all in capitals is also Jehovah), where Abraham recognizes the possessor of heaven and earth as his possessor, who is right eous. 14. "If I. then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.” Our whole busi ness here is to reproduce iu these bodies something of the fife of Jesus (II Cor. iv. t 11), that He white unseen by the world may be seen in us. This cau never be done by any efforts of ours, but only by yielding to Him, that He may live in us. 15. “For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.” IVe cannot be saved by trying to follow His example, but being saved by His precious blood we can then by His spirit in us follow His example, for He left us an example that we should follow His steps (I Pet ii., 21). As to this feet washing, we may do it by ad monishing each other of faults and sins. We may correct and cleanse each other by the Word of God. 10. ’ \ enly, verily, Isay unto you. The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than He that sent him.” Wears to serve as the servants of Chriot. doing the will of God from the heart (Eph. vi. 0) Being made free from sin and become servants to God. we are to have our fruit unto holiness (Rom. vi., 22>. 17. “if ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.” To know and not to do is only to bring upon ourselves greater condem nation (Luke xii., 47, 4S). The gospels are a record of the things that Jesus began to do and teach (Acts i., 1); and that is the order in which we have it in this lesson, first the doing and then the teaching. Yield fully to Him, rejoice in oneness with Him, and He by His Spirit in you will do all things.— Lesson Helper. The Lines Meet, Eiders Are Un horsed, and Several Killed. \ Couriers who have arrived at Guthrie, Oklahoma, give the following particulars of the opening of the Government town site of Chandler in the Sac and Fox reservation: The town site was opanei to settlement at 12 o’clock, and the scene which followed the volley of musketry which announced the opening of the town beggars description. A mass of 3000 excited men and women, intent upon securing a lot, had gathered about the boundary of the town. Some were on horses, broncos and others on foot, stripped of all superfluous clothing, each carrying a sharpened stick, with name and notice of lot taken thereon, all strung to the highest pitch of excitemenr. At 12 o’clock sharp the signal was given, and with a mightv yell from 3000 throats and amid the cracking of whips and volleys of oaths, shouts, and curses the mass of men and women on horse and foot rushed like maniacs for the town lots. They clambered up the steep cliff like soldiers charging a for tress. The fine was one mile long on each side and a half mile long on each end. The rush was towards lot 38, which was reserved for a Court House. As the angles of the ad vancing lines met many riders were un horsed and hurled pell-mell into the road. Some persons are reported as killed and others as having received severe injuries. Miss Daisy, a reporter of the Guthrie News, was thrown from her horse at the beginning of the race and, striking her head ou a rock, was killed. The excited and mer ciless crowd had no time to attend the dy ing, and rode over the body of the unfortu nate woman until it was "recognized by a friend who took it out of the crush. As there were three or four times as many people as there were lots, the result could he easily foretold. There are from three to six claimants for a great many of the good lots to-night. On every hand can be heard curses and high-worded discussion. It will take considerable time to adjust these dif ferences. An Indian killed a white man in a quarrel in one of the tents where liquor was being sold. NEWSY GLLANfNGS. New York has the grip aga^in.

Chicago has earned the most runs in the League, and also accepted the most chances. Pitcher King, released by Pittsburg, says he will be with the Boston League team next season. The Pittsburgs played the strongest game in the Lsague for the last six weeks of tne pennant race. The Chicagos won but five of the eighteen games playea with the Giants, and only one oi the five was captured in New York.

Htm a Great Artist Got Even. Meissonier ha3 become celebrated, and was bepnaing to make money, when he got acquainted with a Parisian grandee, very wealthy, very fond of pos ing as an art parron, but slightly pen urious. One day Meissonier, breakfasting with the grandee, was struck by the beauty of the textme of the tablecloth. “One could draw upon it,” he re marked ; and, suiting the action to the word, he produced a pencil and made on tl\e snowy, smooth nap a wonderfully able sketch of a man’s head. The economical swell had the head carefully cut out of the damask, and hastened to frame and glaze his prize. A few weeks afterward Meisonier again breakfasted with his patron and found by the side of his place at the corner of the table assigned to him a neat little sheaf of crayons and holders, with a penknife and some india rubber. While the guests at the conclusion of the repast were enjoying their coflee and cigaretts, the host saw with delight from the corner of his eye that Meiesonier was hard at work on the tablecloth—this time with a superb little full length of a mediaeval halberdier. The party broke up, the guests de parted, and the “economical swell” rushed back to the salle-a-manger to se cure his treasure; but, alas, the painter had for once shown himself as eco nomical as his patron 1 He ha<l made disasterously gc-od use of the penknife, and one corner of the tablecloth was gone, halberdier and all. —Boston Globe.

You know on the coast of the Mediterranean the olive tree requires fourteen years of growth to bear fruit. By a method ac- dentally discovered we in California can grow trees so that they will bear in six years. How? Why, we cut off a twig about as thick as your little finger some twenty or twenty-five inches long and simply stick it in the ground. The way it sprouts is simply wonderful and we promptly cut off all but one, the best shoot. The fruit is crushed so that the meat is taken off, but the stone is not crushed. This meat is put m a press and the juice from it is composed of water and oil. The oil is taken up by absor bent cotton and then squeezed and re fined, put into bottles and on the mar ket. The profits are said to be large, and judging by what I have seen I should say there was a comfortable living in olive growing.”—New York Telegram. P. K. Coburn.
