after those shall lie with him i:i the
Thr- :ie of his story?after he shall
have taken unto f his groat jm>wor
and shall have begun liis Messianic
reign of righteousness "under the
whole heavens." It is imjuirtant In
every study of the Scriptures that we
recognize the l>ivine I Man as a whole
and properly locate the teaching of
each parable.
We know that the parable of the
sheep and the goats belongs uot to this
Age, but to the coming Age of Messiah's
glorious reign, because the introduction
declares this, saying. "When
the Son of nxin shall come in his glory
and all the holy ang ?ls with him. then
shall he sit upon > te Throne of his
glory, and before hit shall be gathered
all nations; and he s >all separate them
one from another at a shepherd dividetb
his sheep from the goats." Those
sheep and goats will not Include the
Church, to whom the promise is.
"When he shall appear, we also shall
apj?ear with him in glory"?sharing his
Thrnna
The salvation of the Church will be
fiuished before the salvation of the
worid will begin. Today's study pictures
the salvation of the world, showlug
us how every member of Adam's
race will be on trial during the reign
of Messiah and. by his obedience or
disobedience to the light and knowledge
then prevailing, he will be deciding
his own everlasting future, either
as a sheep or as a goat. It will
require the entire oue thousand years
of Messiah's reign to complete the
testing and separating work.
All then obedient will be recognized
as children of God and brethreu. All
the disobedient will l>e reckoned aa
children of the Adversary and worthy
to share his fate, because, under favorable
conditions, they were rebellious.
Such shall be destroyed with
Satan in the Second Death, which Is
symbolically represented aa Are. be caij^e
Are is always destructive, never
p^eervatlve. On the contrary, the
sheep class at the conclusion of Messiah's
reign will have reached perfec

' into eternal punishment; but the righteous,
the sheep class, into eternal life.
The contrast Is perfect. The one pets
life to all eternity The other gets the
I specified punishment of destruction to j
all eternity. The Greek word here
translated punishment is kolaain, which
| signifies restraint, cutting off?in this
1 case cutting off from life?Second
i Death. "The wages (punishment) of
sin is death."
Some one has well said:?
"Sow a thought and you reap an act:
Sow an act and you reap a habit;
Sow a habit and you reap a character:
Sow a character and you reap a destiny."
The DivlDe intention as respects the
salvation of this Gospel Age and the
salvation of the world during the com.
log Age is that only such as develop
! the God like character shall be perI
mitted to enjoy Divine fuvor to all
I eternity. God has determined that
I the time shall come when there shall
' be no more sighing, no more crying.
i do more dying: but instead, every
i creature In heaven and In earth and
under the earth ehall be heard praising

Classified.
Custom house stories are always
interesting. The hero of this one,
a Swiss missionary, was returning
to Basle from South America, taking
with him some skulls discovered
in ancient Patagonian burying
places. At the frontier the authorities
insisted en inspecting his
trunk. They classified the skulls as
"bones of animals'* and demanded
duty at the rate of a penny a pound.
The missionary protested, and it
was presently agreed that as the
skulls were for scientific purposes
they muat be allowed to enter without
payment.
The only question was how to
classify them for the purposes of
the Swiss statistical bureau. This
problem was debated at great
length, but ultimately the skulls
went through as "personal etfects
already worn."?New York Sun.
Jule* Verne's Romance.
The story of Jules Verne's courtship
and marriage is a most romantic
one. Verne was a shy you. g fellow
who had a great dislike to the
society of women, and it was only
his alfection for his brother which
led him to go to the latter's wedding.
Verne, however, arrived too
late and found that the whole bridal
party had left for the church with
the exception of the bride's sister,
a charming young widow, who ex- !
plained t!: - matter. The friendship
tints accidentally begun rapidly developed
into a wanner feeling and i
ended in a marriage which may be j
described as ideal.

A South Arabian Food Plant.
Jowari, a tell, slender plant resembling
corn and headed with a
grain something like millet, is the i
Abdali's chief crop, lie feeds the
stalks to his camels and eats the
grain himself. Three crops a year
are produced. Jowari requires little
cultivation except weeding,
which the Abdali does by hand, and
when ripe he cuts it off close to the
ground with his hunting knife.
New shoots spring up from the
roots to become the next crop. For
a camel load of about 125 pounds
he receives at Aden an average of
2 rupees, or $04.88. A fair yearly
yield is twenty camel loads an acre.

"Certainly." said the watchmakrr.
"What seems to be the trouble
