11. "As Jttc went to tierusaiein. jtiuuv
Ephraim, where Jest's and His disciples!
I hud been in seclusion. "Through tha
J midst." This mention of Samaria beforei
Galilee is confusing, being the opposite!
direction to a journey to Jerusalem.^
Probably "through the midst" is to be^
understood as meaning "along the fron*,
tiers of." '
12. "Ten men vere lepers." The leprosy
was a disease which the Jews supposed
to be inflicted for the punishment
of some particular sin, and to be. more
than other diseases, a mark of God's displeasure;
therefore Chri^ toefe
pains to cleanse the lepers. TheW ITerc
ten in this company, for though they were
shut out from the soeiety of others, they
wm at libertv to ininzle together. The
law pronounced the leper unclean, and he
was obliged to warn passers-by with the
cry of "unclean, unclean." Leorosy is a
type of sin. The lener was (1) defiled,
and he defiled everything he touched, (2)
extremely loathsome, and (3) shut out o?
society. This all applies with equal force
to the sinner. The surroundings of the
leper were also unclean. Lev. 13: 47-59;
14: 33-47. We must see to it that our surroundings
are not infected. The clothes
we wear, the books we read, the company
wi keep, the places we frequent, the
scenes we visit, if leprous. Mill cause our
death. "Which stood afar off." They
were not permitted to come near to persons
in health. Lev. 13: 46; Num. 5: 2.
13. "Lifted up their voices." Their request
was unanimous. The ten cried as
with one voice. They had evidently heat-d
of the fame of Jesus and how lie cured
the leprosv. "Jesus, Master." Their
faith in Him is sincere. Although they
do not vet know the Saviour's dignity
as the Messiah, yet they account Him a
prophet, mighty in deed and word. "Have
mercy on us." They knew they were lepn?
Viiim.in nnwer could Suva
them; they accordingly, very properly,'
plead for mercy. Jesus always helps those
who thus call upon Him. It is mercy that
the sinner must have. Justice would destroy
him in a moment. These lepers, 1.
See their helplessness. 2. Have faith in
Jesus. 3. Appeal to His compassion.
14. "When He saw them.' It was a
sight that might have touched any heart,
for they were smitten with a living death.
The pity of Jesus was excited, and He
railed to them immediately. "Show yourselves
unto the priests." To obtain tho
testimony of the priests that they were
really cured and might be released from
their enforced seclusion, and be again admitted
into society. According to the
law (Lev. 14: 2-32) the prie3t alone had
authority to declare a person clean or un
clean, and whenever .Jesus healed a leper
He sent him immediately to the priest.
See Matt. S: 4. "As they went, they were
cleansed." Jesus did not touch them as
in Matt. 8: 3, but caused their faith in
Him to be tested. They were commanded
to go to the priest, and they actually
started on the journey before they were
healed. It was a strong test, but their!
perfect confidence in Christ was orpial to
it. They had heard no words of dcansing.
thev felt no change in their diseased
bodies; but they went. They acted their
faith. Every step they took away from
rthe presence of Chrint proved that they
trusted Him. Tlicy took Jesus at His
word. This is faith. Many will not believe
until they see what they call a reason
for it. but such are never likely to be
1 saved. The best reason for believing and
obeying is that we are in harmony with
God's express command. The person who
acts on God's word is safe.
15. "One of them. " The Samaritan.
The other nine who were Jews would naturally
separate from him as thev started
to their priests r.t Jerusalem. The Samaritan
no doubt started to his own priests.
"When he saw ?turned back." They had
not gone far until thev saw they were
* * --J it... _i u i ;f
neaiea, ami inev simum nan- n cmitw.. ..
but for a moment. to thank their benefac-1
factor for deliverance from a disease that?
was worse than death. But the nine Jew.i
were too much taken up with themselves
in their desire to obtain official certiti-,
cates from the priests to think of this,
"With a loud voice glorified God." Be-j
cause of the wonderful cure that had been
wrought in him. He had been loud i;J
nraver and now he is lod in nra'sej
. raved souls have a special license gFantefl
*" ~ to praise the Lord. See Luke 19:
37-40. David said. "Seven times a day
do I praise Thee." Psa. 119: 164. The
wonder is that we do not praise Him
more.
16. "On his face at His feet." Before
he was healed he remained at a distance,'
but now he draws near, and in a humble
posture he shows all who are present what
the Lord has done for him. "Giving
Him thanks." The least any one should
do is to express thankfulness for God's
rich blessings. Ingratitude is a great sin.
It is said of the heathen that "when they
knew God, they glorified Him not as God, j
neither were thankful." Rom. 1: 21. "A
Samaritan." One who professed a very
corrupt religion, and from whom much
less was expected than from the other j
nine.
17. "Were there not ten cleansed?" He
knew that He had cleansed the other j
nine. How rich Christ is in doing good. [
Here was a cure by wholesale. There is
. an abunaance of healing, cleansing virtue
in the blood of Christ, sufficient for all j
His patients. "Where are the nine?" A j
8adnes3 cf tone is perceptib'> in this j
question. The nine received the healing,
but forgot the Healer. However great or j
numerous the temporal favors God be- I
stows upon men. few comparatively give

noticed the slight offered Him, and called ,
attention to it. We should be careful '
and not be one of tbe nine.
18. "To give glory to God." They had
shown their ingratitude to God. When
we fail to honor Christ we dishonor God.
It is the duty of all peonle to give glory
to God. Jer. 13: 16. "Save this stranger"?Or
"alien." The Samaritans were
Gentiles. Their religion was a mixture
of Judaism and idolatry; they worshiped
they knew not what. In this transaction
the Lord saw foreshadowed the bringing
in of the (ienliles to ni< enuren.
19. "Thy faith." His confidence in
Christ was the nitons. and the power of
Christ the cause, of his cure. The true
nature of faith is here very clearly displayed
as consisting principally in mora!
qualities of obedience and love. "Hath
made 'hee whole." "Hath saved thee.*'
(R. V. rnarain) is much better. There
was more done for him that the mere
healing of his body. His faith had led
him as a humble penit"nt to the Christ,
and his soul is saved. He is now no longer
"a stranger," but a disciple, ? , I
What Becomes of the Old Moon ?
Till about the year 1817 there lay a
few miles to the east of Xa rn. a small
fishing village of the pleasant name
of Mavistoun. the natives of which
were regarded as foolish folk. One
day a horseshoe was found on the
shore. It was the first ever seen in
the village, and nobody could tell what
It was. At last one said it was a hit
of the moon?really a new moon.
j But the oldest, and, therefore, wisest
fisherman of Mavistoun shook hi$
head, and declared this to be a mistaken
notion. He believed it was a
moon, but not a new one, else it
would be up in the sky. lie had.
however, often wondered what became
of the old moons; and this discovery
denied up the mystery. After
they were done with, the old moons
fell to lite earth, and this horseshoe
was one of them!?Little Folks.
Not Made From Wood.
Consul Frank \V. Mahin, at ileichenberg,
informs the State Department
that his Consulate is in receipt of
scores of inquiring letters from America
and Europe regarding a report
published in newspapers and trade
journals that artificial cotton Is now
being made from pine wood and spruce
wood.
Investigation lias developed that the
cotton said to have been made from
the wood fibres is nothing more than
the natural product itself. The spinning
of spruce and fir fibres in the
production of artificial silk probably
has given rise to these erroneous reports,
says Consul Mahin, end it is
safe to conclude that though attempts
have been made to produce artificial
cotton, so far they have been without

The plot of ground on which stands
the historic monument erected at
Tappan N. Y., by the late Cyrus W.
Field in memory of Andre, the Revolutionary
spy, has been sold on account
of the owner's non-payment of taxes.
Since the death of Mr. Field the memorial
has been neglected, and it has
now passed into the hands of George
Dickey, of Nyack, who says that he
will obliterate it. The monument was
unveiled on October 2, 1879. and an attempt
was made to destroy it by an
explosion of nitroglycerine in April,
1882.

WOMEN MUST SLEEP.
Avoid Nervous Prostration*
II you are dangerously sick what is
the first duty of your physician ? He
quiets the nervous system, he deadens
the pain, and you sleep well.
Friends ask, "what is the cause?"
and the answer comes in pitying
tones, nervous prostration. It came
upoa you so quietly in the beginning,
that, you were not alarmed, and when
sleep deserted you night after night
unt 1 your eyes fairly burned in the
darknc&s, then you tossed in nervous

You ought to have known that
when you ceased to be regular in your

You ought to know that indigestion,
exhaustion, womb displacements,

backache send the nerves wild with .
affr ght. and you cannot sleep.

The Dismal Swamp Canal.
The Dismal Swamp Canal, which
was originally surveyed by George
Washington, was formally opened for
navigation October 14, 1899. For more
than a hundred years the waterway
was abandoned. A procession of vessels
passed through, the United States
torpedo boat Talbot bringing up the
rear. The canal cost 51,000,000, and j
we have already illustrated its construction.
It allows small vessels to
go south throu ghthe inland route,
avoiding the dangers which always exist
in rounding Cape Ha^teras. This
route avoids the noted Diamond
Shoals. The canal extends from
Deep Creek, near Norfolk, to Pasquotank
River, North Carolina, and is
twenty-two miles long, ten feet deep
and eighty feet wide. There are two
locks, one at each end.
