[ From the town of Puebla, in Mex mMt a sandy road lead* across the ?hiJI? to the Valley, of Amovoc. Har Ky In the morning that road la ?crowded with Indian , pedd.hprs and Euckstena, who carry Afiavy baskets En their backs. They frequently Eoms from a distance of ten or Eweke miicH, but make the whole Erip at a sharp trot and without a Elngle stop, v Their children trot at Ehelr sides, carrying email bundles Er bags, and thus learn their trade Eo gradually that they hardly feel Ebe hardships of it. j |t seems curious that a small, Ehort-legged dog can a* a general Ebiog outrun the tallest man. This Eas not always been the case, An Eatrlch proves that two lega can go Eg fast as four. Want of exercise ?a man probably accounts for the Br^iole difference. | Lifting weights has always been E favorite exercise for tho lungs. ?There is a story Of a Grecian Sam Eon, the athlete Milo of Crotona, Eho day after day carried a calf E"*U>d the arena and gained in strength hh the calf gained In Weight until finally ho could carry a steer. We may well doubt, whoth* ev the 8to?;i was quite full grown. There is. however, a case on record, npparently well authenticated, to the effect that one Wintblp of lJofpj tou, practiced with dumb -bells ui^d bagful* of pin iron uutll he waa able to lift (though oi*ly for a mouunt) 'th? weight of the heaviest steer in Text*#. 1 In oountrles where they still rely on the strength of their limbh, is in Turkey, Hungary and Afghanis tan, there are pleuty of men earn ing. their bread by common labor Vho could astonish the so-called, athletes of the rest of the world. A turklsb porter will shoulder a box which the driver of an Ameri can express wagon would hesitate to tackle without assistance. In one of the Fghan wars the native wtarrlors carried cannon to a battery I on the top of artiltl from where the English soidiorriy-Were unable to car ry them down again.. The foot soldiers of the Turkish Janizaries had to drill in full ar mor," run, wrestle and evej* swim without removing the iron equip ments. Such a value did their drill masters set upon the influence of early training that they would nev er, accept a recruit of more than twelve years of age. TlfcfrSe cadets were exercised for years, like the sons of the oldSpartans, before they ?"were assigned to actual duty, and the result was that tjwTT*fc?4&aries repeatedly defeated the armies , of Western Europe. ,,The ancient Greeks managed to train not only their troops but the whole nation by offering liberal prizes for profioiency in all kinds of bodily exercise, such as running, leaping, lifting, spear-throwing and wrestling. At a distance of sixty yards, their spearmen could hit a target- with unfafllng certainty.

I\V uiust take the Master's words nddrtW ed t<> the faithful as representing (In* full, perfect standard. It is for iMM I) disciple to recognise 1 this supreme ! standard and to gauge his thoughts and words und doings thereby.

In this sec ondary way all mankind aside from the Church, the consecruted - may l>e measurably enlightened by the Mas ter's teachings In this lesson. The im tli of love Is, as Jesus do scribes It", under present conditions, a "narrow way;" difficult Is the way of life now open. Only the saintly few will be willing to walk there, and only the.se will gain the great I'rlze,. "the pearl of great price," jolnt-hclrship in {rfesshih's Kingdom. Hearken! Do not merely observe the (loldeu ltule toward your enemies, but love them, and "do g^>od to them that hate you." to The Master's expression. "Unto him that smtyeth thee on the one cheek of .fer also the other," Is to l>e taken as signifying simply, I)o not render fcvll for evil, even though lie smite thee on the ot her cheek also. Our Lord Himself when smitten, according to tbo report, did not invite the smiting of the other pheek. but defended llimsdlf to the ex tent of criticising the evil deed. But if lie had beeu smitten on the other ctepke also, let us not for a moment think that He would have resisted,' In the sense of rendering blow for blow. The next statement is more compre hensively given ljy St. Matthew. "If any man sue thee at the law and take awav .thy coat, withhold not thy cloak also. The follower of Jesus may flee froth au adversary, or he may resist him to the extent of propel expostulo tlon, but he is to he thoroughly re sponsive to all government; if the court decides that his coat and his cloak shall both be taken from him, he shall "unnrarnraringly -submit, even? though he realize that such a procedure would be ,ynjust and quite at variance with the Divine regulation. Saint Paul as well 38 Jesus used argument in his owjj defense, not only with the mobs, but also before judges; but they resist ed the law? never. "Give to everyone ttiat asketh of thee, and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again." The broad est interpretation we could consistent Wtuen smitten, il(<i not retaliate. , ly give . to this Would be? Be ten der hearted, err on the sldo of too great generosity rather than to bp hard-heartettrseir lsh. The Lord could , not have meant us to take Ills , words with absolute literal ness; as for In stance, Qive * 1 child a razor if it cries for it; or, Give money to the dissipated, that they may injure themselves still more. The spirit of a sound mind forbids that we should understand the Master to teach that we should do anything for an other that would be really to his In Jury. "As ye would that men should do unto you, do ye also to them like wise." Very evidently our Lord was setting up His teachings in contrast with the cbaxlms of the Pharisees, the holiness people of that day. To love another, because he loved us, or to give to another In the hope that he frould equally befriend us, would have noth ing creditable in it Merolful to Obtain Mercy. The work} during Messiah's Kingdom will be under instruction and lessons, which will include mercy, and an as surance to the willing and obedient of perfection by the close of the Kingdom.. But the Church class, now called out. will have no such long period for their character development, and since they win not attain that perfection here but wHL require I>lvla*mercy, through tha Imputation of .Christ's -merit to cover their blemishes, therefore In or-^j develop His saints In generosity the Lord has agreed merciful to* them I* wUl be merciful reward and 8t: Paul arguing Me own defense.
