A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY
OR. LOUIS ALBERT BANKS.
Subject: The Coinpa*sioa of Christ*
Brooklyn. X. 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
* ?.

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. ? Stray

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

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.

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<

upon the table and, addressing the
judge, said, with a bit of impediment
