Y.?Dr. Louis Albert Banks, at oue time pastor of the Hanson Place M. E. Church, where he was most successful, preached there Sunday morning on "The Christ Who is Totti lied With the Feeling of Our Infirmities." The text was from Hebrews iv:15. "We have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but was ill ail JK>1IH5 irmim-u ua ** c without sin." Dr. Banks said: "The last part of this text explains the first. Christ is in sensitive touch with us in the temptations and trials of life because He has personally experienced them. He is not a stranger standing off on the ramparts of heaven, looking down, though it be ever so benevolently, upon sorrows and difficulties which He has never personally known. Such compassion could not mean much to us. Birt Jesus Christ perfected Himself as the captain of our salvation through suffering. For three and thirty years He wore nnr flesh and tasted our crrief. and He is touched with the feelir- of our infirmities. How much that ought to mean to us. When we are in any trial or trouble, and we need comfort, it is not to the most joyous and happy, who have never known what sorrow was, to whom we go for sympathy. "Some yeare ago I was surprised to receive from a very rich man in a city where I was then pastor a check for a large sum of money which he said lie wished me to use among the poor in my part of the city, and especially among children who were having a hard time of it. I followed his directions and gave him an account of liow portions of it were used. Still other sums followed until I was very much interested in the matter, and wondered not a little at the cause of it. After it had gone on for nearly a year I received a letter from him inviting me to take lunch with him at a hotel. When we met he said: 'I suppose you have wondered at my sending this money to you, an entire stranger to me. and at my being so much interested in the children of the poor in your section of the city. But this is how it comes. My father died when I was a very little boy. My mother was left a widow with a large family of children. all of whom were too small to be of much help. She had to work very hard, but work as hard as she could, she was unable to procure enough food and clothing to give us comfort all the time. .For two or three years I knew what it was to be hungry. Many a night I have cried myself to sleep in silence lest my mother should hear and it should make her feel bad. because I was so hungry. I could not keep back the tears, and I knew she had no bread to give me. You would scarcely believe it,' continued the millionaire, 'looking at me now and knowing what you do of me that on mor-* than one occasion I have run and snatched a crust of bread thrown away from a wagon where some teamster had eaten his lunch, and rescued it from a dog, and sat down and ate it gratefully, and washed it down with a drink from nimin * Thftn ho tnufC OQ TTi into the big man's eye and one rolled out on his cheek as he said: 'Now you know why I have so much sympathy for the poor children. It makes me shiver on a cold night when I think of the boys and girls who have not clothing enough to keep them warm. For I have been in their place, and I know how it feels. I know how a boy feels when he is hungry and cold, and, (.lod helping me. I shall never lose a chance to help a boy or a girl that is in a hard place.' . "As I listened to this big-hearted man there came into my mind the Scripture we are studying. He was able to sympathize with and comfort others, because he had a fellow feeling with their infirmities and their sorrows. "So, no one could be a Savior for us who had not suffered. No one could have compassion on us in our weaknesses who had not himself been tempted and tried as by fire. Only a man who has been hungry, and has not known where to lay his head at times, knows how to sympathize with others who are in similar experience. Only he who has been in the wilderness with the devil, tempted on every side, struggling for his life, knows how to sympathize and have true comnnssion with temnfed men and women to-day. Only He who has been crowned with thorns, who has been spit upon and whipped with the scourge, who has fainted under His cross, knows real compassion, knows how to be touched with the feeling of people who are lashed by cruel misfortune and who are fainting under burdens too heavy for their shoulders. But Jesus Christ meets all these requirements. He knows all about it. "The incarnation of Jesus was no sham. He wore our humanity completely. and there never was a more perfectly sensitive human nature, one more tender and exquisite in human feelings than that of Jesus Christ. As has been well said, Christ affected none of that hard indifference in which some ancient philosophers vainly gloried. He felt as a man. and He sympathized with the feelings of others. On different occasions we are informed that He was troubled in spirit, that He groaned, and that He wept. The story of His agony in the Garden of Gethserr.ane exhibits a striking picture of the sensations of innocent nature oppressed with anguish. It discovers all the conflict between the dread of suffering on the oue hand, and the sense of duty on the other; the man struggling for a while with human weakness, and in the end rising superior and winning victory. We hear the Savior say. 'Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from I Me.' There is the dread of suffering natural 0:1 all our lips, but the next moment we hear Christ saying. 'Nev- ; ertheless. not as I will, but as Thou wilt. Thy will be done.' So our Savior was touched with the feeling of our infirmities. He was a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. His whole life was an experience of the ordinary trials aud provocations that lead to evil, and these >/ere sometimes aggravated into the most in- ; tense temptations. He was made th? target of all the arrows of Satan. But though He was tempted in all points like as we are. He came off victorious ( and without sin. "These reflections bring us to ap- ' preciate the fact that Christ is ideally 1 perfect as a friend and Savior for us < in the weaknesses and infirmities with ; which our lives in this world are fa- , miliar. We may comfort ourselve* . with the assurance of several very inspiring reflections. | "First?Christ, being touched w. h the feeling of our intirmities. will make a distinction between wbat is weak and wbat is willfully wrong In us. Jesus gives us a very beautiful * ?. J--tew* . illustration of this iu His treatment of the disciples, those three close friends, Peter and James and John, whom He took with Him into the Garden of Gethsemane on the night of His betrayal. He said to them as the bnrden of sorrow pressed upon Him: "My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death; tarry ye here and watch with Me.' And then He went away a little by Himself and fell on His face in prayer, and after a time He came back wishing the comfort of the association with His friends. And behold, they were all asleep. They aroused at His step, and Jesus said to Peter. 'What! could ye not watch with Me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation." Then Jesus, in the tenderness of His great heart, feeling sympathy and compassion toward them, begins to apologize for them and explain to them their weakness. 'The spirit indeed is willing.' He says, 'but the flesh is weak.' Was there ever greater tenderness than that? One can easily imagine the sarcasm of Napoleon or Frederick the Great on an occasion like that. But could anything more clearly illustrate the tenderness of Christ in distinguishing between our weakness and willful wrong doing? We may be sure that Christ will never misjudge us If we are doing the best we can. He knows it and appreciates it to its full value. He sees every battle we make, even when we are defeated, and knows the motive behind every blow that is struck in His name. He will never reject or look with indifference or contempt on any effort we make to serve Him because of our infirmities which make us to blusli. What we speak in words are not the only prayers Christ bears, but every secret aspiration and longing for goodness or for helpful service is a prayer which He hears and answers. There is no eloquence of human lips that can compare with the penitential tears shed in secret, springing from sincere meditation upon our duty to Cod, and heartfelt longing that we may render Him truer service. "Second?Jesus, knowing our infirmities, will not allow us to be burdened heavier than we are able to bear. Hewill not allow us to be tempted in such a way that there is no escape for us. He will not permit us to be loadeel. unless we bring it ou ourselves by our own sin. with unnecessary troubles. His measure about burdens is infinitely tender: 'Come unto Me ail ye that labor, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take tny yoke upon you. and learn of Me; lor I am ineek and lowly in neart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.' "And in regard to temptation, we have the direct promise that His grace shall be sufficient for us. and that in every temptation He will make a way for our escape, so that both in Aiir CArrntrc nn/1 in Alir fifinffPP Christ, touched with the feeling of our infirmities, stands ready to comfort and defend us. We shall go no , path so lonely or uncertain but we! may find mnrks to show us. if we I really seek for them, that Christ has I been over the way first. Alexander I Maclaren recalls the customs of pioneers in trackless lands, how When one friend passes through pathless forests he breaks a branch ever and anon as he goes, that those who come after may see the traces of his having been there, and may know that they have not lost the trail. So when we are journeying through the murky night, and the dark woods of affliction and sorrow, it ik a precious thing to find here and there a broken branch or a leafy stem bent down with the tread of Christ's foot and' the kindly thoughtfulness of His hand as He passed, and to remember that the path He trod He has hallowed, and that there are lingering fragrances and hidden strengths in the remembrance that He was tempted in all points like as we are, bearing grief for us. bearing grief with us. bearing grief like us. "Third?As angels comforted Jesus in His sorrows, so He will succor us in our trials and weaknesses. How tenderly Jesus prayed for us before He offered Himself upon the cross as on o tnnomonf f/\n /Mir clnc' Tn thnf tender prayer in which He expressly states that it was not only for His disciples. but for all who should believe on Him through their words to the end of the world, and therefore includes us. the Savior prays: "Now I am no more in the world: but these are in the world. Holy Father! Thine they were, and Thou gavest them Me. Keep them through Thine own name. Sanctify them through Thy truth. Keep them from the evil one, that they may be where I am, and may behold the glory which Thou hast given Me.' How tender Christ was to people in hard places during His earthly ministry! Recall His journey to visit Martha and Mary when their brother Lazarus was dead. Remember the kindness to the poor woman who touched His garments as the crowd pressed aDOUl mm. iiememuer me woman who brought her box of precious ointment as He sat at the feast in the house of Simou, who wet His feet with her tears and wiped them with the hairs of her head. In all these, and in multitudes of other casefe how conspicuous the tenderness and sensitive compassion of Jesus Christ in comforting those who are tried and troubled. Surely there could be nothing more attractive to us. Nothing which could more perfectly appeal to our confidence and to our faith than the character and the story of Jesus our Savior as set forth in the Word of Cod." Narrow Way Eaoleit, . It is easier to take the narrow than the broad way. If you go to destruction you must leap over the Bible, over the Church of Christ, over the prayers of parents and friends. You must leap over tiie love of the Savior Himself.?Evan Roberts. BRIDE'S CAKE 18 ROMAN. It Used to Be Broken Over Her Head After the Ceremony. I The custom of having a special cake at weddings came from the Romans. Phis cake, or rather biscuit, signified L'ruitfulness, hospitality and prosperity. The rice that was showered on a bride bad a similar meaning. For many centuries aft^r the Romans left England, the custom was to break the biscuit over the bride's head, and then the fragments were picked up and piled before her for distribution to her friends. At the restQration Charles II returned with -a small army of French cooks, who speedily converted the ancient biscuit into a delicious piece of confectionery, iced it with sugar and gradually adorned it with emblematical devices, till it towered into the amazing structure which the luxury of later times has developed. ?

V" TIE SUNDAY SCHOOL INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS FOR OCTOBER 15 Subject: Returning From Captivity, Ezra 1., 1-11?Colden ^>zt, Pia. czxt., 3? Memory Verged, 5, 0?Commentary on the lluy'a Len*:m. I. The proclamation of King Cyrus to return (vs. 1-4), 1. "First year of Cyrus." That is his first year as sole king at Babylon. He was king, twenty years before thb?, of Elam and gradually extended his empire over the Persians and Medes, Babylonians and Chaldeans. For two years after the capture of Babylon Darius was king of Babylon under Cyrus. Now Cyrus reigned at Babylon. "Word of the Lord." See .Ter. 25:12; 29:10. The promise was that after seventy years "in inni would bring His people again to Palestine. "Stirred up?Cyrus." There is good reason to accept the Jewish tradition according to .Tosephus. that Daniel, occupying a high position in the court of Cyrus, brought to his attention the prophecies of Isaiah, which name Cyrus as God's servant (Isa. 44:20-28; 45:1-4), and perhaps, also, the prophecies of Jeremiah, showing that God had for this purpose given Babylon into the hands of Cyrus. "Made a proclamation." See chapter 0. "In writing." To prevent any mistake or reversal. 2. "God of heaven." Hence the Controller of all men and affairs. "God of heaven" seems to have been a usual title of the Supreme Being among the Persians. At this time the Medo-Persian empire was very extensi^. extending on the east to the Red St\j. on the north to the Black Sea. on the vest to the Island of Cyprus and Egypt and on the south to Ethopia. "Hath charged n:e," etc. Cyrus probably accepted the prophecy of Isaiah as a charge to build the temple. "The existence of predictions in which. 200 years before he was born, his victorious career and the important services he should render to the Jews were foretold, led him to acknowledge that all his kingdoms were gifts bestowed * ' * * * -?1 ^ iinnran ' on nun ny 'ine i>oru uuu m and prompted him to fulfill the duty which had been laid upon him Ions before his birth. This was the source and origin of the great favor he showed to the .Tews." S. "Who is there among you." The return was to be a volunteer movement. "His God be with him." A pious wish, indicating the deep religious feeling and goodness of heart which characterized Cyrus alone of Persian monarchs. Pie ruled his subjects like a father. No nobler character appears in ancient history. "Let him go." As the carrying away of the Hebrews had taken place at iutervals of from seventy to fifty years before, there were but few of the original exiles remaining, and it Is somewhat remarkable that so many of their descendants, nearly 50.000 in all. should be willing to go to p country they had never seen. "Build the house." This was their great errand, not to build their own houses, but the house of God. "He is the God." We can understand this great truth ^ar more clearly than could Cyrus LeV us see to it that we live out the knowledge which we possess. 4. "Whosoever remaineth." Some persons of true and eminent piety so situated that they did not deem it their duty to go, as Daniel in the court of Cyrus; others were hindered by old age. Many more returned than we rend of being carried away captive. "Let the men?help him." Let the heathen population help him. "Free will offering." Probably that made by Cyrus himself. II. The captives make preparations for the return (vs. 5-11). 5. "Chief of the fathers." Venerable men. heads of families, some of whom had seen the first temple. "Judah and Benjamin." These tribes, last exiled, were the first to return. But that the * were many from the other tribes also wno returned appears rn>~i many oujer passages, o. "Strengthened their hands." Their neighbors helped them and contributed liberally. 7. "Cyrus?brought forth." etc. Nebuchadnezzar little thought that he was unconsciously preserving the sacred vessels of Israel in a safe and inviolable stronghold, till the day when Jehovah would bring about their restoration to His people. S. "Sheshbnzzar." The Chaldee or Persian name of Zerubbabel, given him at court as other name3 were given to Daniel and his friends. Born in Babylon and named by his friends Zerubbabel (exile in Babylon). He was recognized as hereditary prince of Judah; was leader of the first company of exiles and director of the rebuilding of the temple. 11. "All the vecsels," etc. This number, 5400, is more than double the sum of verses 0 and 10, which was 2499. It is probable tbat only the larger or more costly vessels were numbered in detail, and the 5400 includes a great number of smaller and less costly ones. So they are reckoned by Joseplius. In the history of the restoration of the Jews to their country, the names of three* Jewish leaders and of three Persians are prominent. The first Jewish leader was Zerubbabel, who left Babylon under this proclamation of Cyrus, B. C. 536, seventy years after the first captivity. After an Interval of about twenty years he was enabled to complete the rebuilding a.' the temple, in the reign ot Darius Hystaspes, seventy years after the destruction of the temple. The second Jewish leader was Ezra, who went up from Babylon about eighty years after Zerubbabel, in the seventh year of Artaieries Longimanus. lie labored chiefly to restore*the institutions of Moses. The third Jewish leader was Nehemiah. who wont up from Susa. or Shushan, in the twentieth year of the same Artaxerxes. He rebuilt the wall and set up the rates of Jerusalem and promated many reforms. i Dead or Not, He Was Buri-. Over twenty years ago S. P.Tves. a well-known legal light of Essex county,#aqd Charles P. Thompson of the superior court were pitted against each other In an important life insurance case at Salem, Mr. Ives for the company and Mr. Thompson for the plaintiff. Mr. Thompson was very anxious to put into the case certain affidavits, and Mr. Ives was equally strenuous in opposition. After lengthy arguments the Judge decided in Mr. Thompson's favor, arid he proceeded to read, with much emphasis, depositions relating to surgical treatment, death, funeral and las: i the interment of the insured. As Mr. Thompson finished readinthis, which was from a sexton of th< cemetery, giving name, date, numbe: of burial lot, etc., he threw the papers upon the table and, addressing the judge, said, with a bit of impediment in speech which sometimes bothered him: "There, your honor.
