In 1060 tho Dutch city of Haarlem was devastated by tho plague. Whole families perished, and among them a family of the nnme of Oloux, the members of which were buried in the Haarlem church. Thirty or 40 years ago it ' was found that the masonry of the tomb was out of repair, and the vault was entirely rebuilt. The masons in charge of tho work remained in tho vault an entiro day, and, notwithstanding tho fact that two centuries hud passed since the epidemic, all these workmen were attacked with tho infectious glandular swelling called "bubo," and had to ondergo treatment at tin? hospital. There" wero no symptoms, however, of tho plagno proper, and all recovered.?Boston Globe. Hundred Yenr Clock. In all ages clockmakers havo striven to construct clocks which would go for long periods.

Steams.] 1. 41 Now in the first year of Cyras, king of Persia, that tho wortl of the I-onl by tho mouth of Jeremiah might bo fulfilled, tho Lord stirred up tho spirit of Cyrus." All Is done that tho Scripture mnv bo fulfilled, and tho Lord docs It all. Tito open- j lug verses of this hook nro just tho closing | versos of tho previous book repented end theroforo confirmed (Gen. xll, 32) or es- ! tnblishcd, that wo may glvo special atten- I tlon to them. God hud said by Jcronii.iii I that after 70 jren^s Ho would punish the ' king of Uabylou and restore Israel to their j own land (Jor. xxv, 12; xxLx, 10). Ho had also colled Cyrus by name more than ' 100 j-oars beforo ho was born and lmd said ! that Cyrus would i>orforin nil Iiis pleasure (Isn. itliv, 28; xlv, 1). ' i 2. "Tho Lord God of Ilcavon hath given mo all tho kingdoms of tho earth, ami Ho huth charged me to build Him an house at Jerusalem." Tho Most High rulcth in tho klniplnm of men and givoth it towhomsoever Ho will (ftan. iv, 52). When any one, be ho king or peasant, accepts tho po sit ion ho occupies as given hiai by Hoc! and seeks therein to do tho will of God. he cannot but lie blessed, for ( 'od Himself will sco to it (II Chron. xvi, 0). Thcro is a house now l)elng br.ilded, even tho church of God (11 ph. ii, 10-22), and every pastor nnd teacher and evangelist and missionary is authorized to help build up tho church, the body of Christ. 51. "Who in there among you of all His people? llis (lod bo with him nnd let him ' go up to Jerusalem and buiid tho house of tho Lord God of Israel." Hero every individual who la willing is commissioned to go up to Jerusalem and help to build the house; so each individual believer is commission eel to take part in saying to all whalmve not yet received Christ that He loves them, died for their sins and rose again and will receive them if they will come to Illiu (Rev. xxii, 17; John 1, 12; Vi, 157). 4. "And whc.w.or renmineth In any placo-^vhrm he sojoururth U t the men cf his place help Mm." This help was to he with silver, geld, goods, beasts, besides the free will offering for tho house at Jerusalem. No ono was compelled to go to Jerusalem, b t those who did not go were to help those who did go. So now no ono is compelled to go as a missionary to foreign lands; it must be willing service; but those who do iu.t go must be ready to hell) those who do g<> with ilii that they ncctl. 5. "Then roso up thochief of the fathers of Judnh luid Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levltes, with nil themwhese s pirit God he.d raised, to fro up to build the hu;iso of tho Lord whieh is in Jerusalem." Fivo times in our lesson is tho house of God mentioned. It is the central thought. Not Jerusalem, nor the priests, nor Cyrus, ' but God and His house. So now the great 1 thought in the mind of every prejwher and worker and every believer should Ik* tho houso of Goil?that is, tho church of God? whieh He hath purchased with His own blood (Acts x.\, 28). fi. "Ami all they that were about them strengthened their hands with vessels of j silver, with gold, with goods and with beasts and with precious things besides, 1 all willingly offered." It must have lxvn a very great privilege to minister to the ] Lord Jesus when lie was hero on earth, but wc can still minister unto Him by ministering to His people, specially to 1 thoso who go forth in His name to help complete His body, and Ho will count it 1 all as dono to Himself (Math, xxv, 40). 7. "Also Cyrus, tho king, brought forth ' tho vessels of the houso of tho Lord which 1 Nebuchndnczznr had brought forth out of ' Jerusalem and lrtul put them in tho house of his gods." Bccauso of Israel's sin God had suffered the holy vessels of His house' ( to be enrrled to Unbylon, but Ho had His cyo upon them oven when Belshazznr used tiicm nt his drunken feast. He suffered sueli holy men as Daniel and Kzckicl and others to bo carried intocnptivlty for their 1 good (Jer. xxiv, 6). When speaking of Israel, He said, "I liavo given tho dearly beloved of my soul into tho hand of her enomlos" (Jer. xii, 7). Many redeemed ones i are in greater or less measure in tho hands ( of tboonomy, and it may bo your privilege to rostoro some of theso vessels to their right place in tho house of tho Lord. b. "Kven those did Cyrus, king of Persia, bring forth by tho hand of Mithredath, tho treasurer, and numbered them unto Sbeshbazzar, the prince of Judah." All Israel was numbered by God. All tho saints nro known by name. Tho Ix>rd knoweth them that aro His, and Ho nays to each one: "Fear not, for I huvo re- ' doomed thee; I havo called *theo l?y Ihv name; thou art mino" (Isa. xliil, 1). Let it comfort you, dear child of God, that, you arc a numbered vossol and that if llo allows you for a time to bo in the enemy's 1 hands lie still eareth for you and will in ( duo time show you His dclivoranco (Rev. ii, 10; II Cor. i, 10; II Tim. iv, 17, 18). 9. "And this is tho number of them: , Thirty charters of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, ninq and twenty knives." Tho small number of vessels of gold compared with those of silver suggest that tho most precious vessels are comparatively few, not that one redeemed soul is of more value than another, for tho vnluo of tho precious blood of Christ is tho valuo of every redeemed soul, but thoso who are willing to bo utterly abandoned to Him, separate from everything Ho does not delight in, are comparatively few. i 10. "Thirty bnsor.sof gold, silver basons of a soooncl sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand." Thero is another helpful lesson of a different kind to bo learned from theso vessels. If the golden vessels lav taken to represent tho most talented or tho most used vessels before people, then to l>e perfectly happy to bo a vessel of a second sort or one < f tho other thousand not described might be equnlly glorifying to God, but might require moro graeo to tnko n lowly place, but In Math, xxv, 20-23, tho ono who made pooil use of two talents received just tho same eommendntion as the one who made pood use of live. 11. "Brought up from Ilnhylon unto Jerusalem." This Is tho remark made of all tho vessels. Ilnhylon is a record of self exaltation from thfl tower of Iinlxd in Gen. xi, where they said, Lot us mako us a name, to Hoy. xvll and xvlil, whero they dare to make war with tho I^amh. Jerusalem or Zion is tho city of God, tlic city of peace, where our Lord was cruel fled, by whose blood peace was made. Many blood bought ones am captives in Babylon, living for self and to make themselves a namo Instead of magnifying the name of tho Lord. Given to Christ that God may bo glorified in us, let us live to oomploto Bi? body, the church. .11 I A RULING OF IMPORTANCE. 7 Decision by Sneer Affecting Wuiver C Note I:iJrblt(1iiCW.
