As be staggered back and fell, almost without a groan, the ghastly fgure turned and silently vanished into the darkness, and no one present that night ever saw this strange eoHnterpart ef Gabe Hardesty again. There were strange rumors afterward that the Governor, hearing the story ot Gabe's arrest on the eve of his marriage, and learning of his subsequent good condnct in tbe prison, had par. doned him before the expiration ef his sentence, and that it was Gabe hlmsell who bad come back on this eventful night and meted out such swift vsnge-

There were few, however, who did net shake their heads incredulously at these rumors, and say they knew a thing of flesh and blood from one that comes outof the darkness and the grave, for did not several, who were present at the merry-making, stoutly aver that they had even clutchnd at this vanishing figure, after the fatal ded was accomplished, and their fingers had olosed upon the thin air?

It may not be possible to save much. If not, save a little. Do net think that a dollar or a dime is too small a sum te lay by. Everybody knows how little expenditures get away with large sums.

1 vmm COMMBXTS. After His examination and condemna
tion by the Jewish council, Jesus was token before Pilate, the Roman Gov
ernor. The Jews had no right to pass the death-sentence on any man, sinoo tbey were under the Komans, who re
served the power of life and death in
their own band So they went te Pilate to get him to pass the sentence
of death on the Master. The charge against Jese before the Sanhedrim,'
was a religions one, and tbey con
demned Him for blasphemy. But the Bom an court took no cognisance of
religious question So before Pilate
the Jews brought civil charge Thar
claimed that Ue was a "malefactor," aad guilty of treason ia claiming to be
King. When the Governor, in son-
sequence of this charge, asked Jesus
whether He really claimed to be a kin.
Jesus said: "My kiardem is not of
this world." By this He meant te &ar:
Yes; I am a King, though not in the
sense in which von understand that
word." The answer of the Saviour ner-
plexed Pilate, who' had a deep-seated feeling that He was a smildess man.
So he went eat to the Jews, and said:
I find no fault in Him." Then, will-
4nft te save Jeans, he offered to release
Him to tbe people, in accordance with a eeeama which he had followed. They, however. not want Jeaas released.

Pilate was a weak; cowardly, selfish and cruel man, who had not scrupled te shed human blood when it suited his purpose. He was ambitious, and, though he often knew tbe right, he often did the wrong. On the other hand, there stood before him the purieet holiest man in all tbe world. In all His life Ue had done nothing amiss, but had healed, fed, blessed, taught that thousands could testify of His good deeds to them and theirs. Yet the innocent man, stand bound, before the guilty man. and by him is judged and condemned. Will these two men ever meet again?
. most assuredly. When and where? At j the day of judgment What will be their relative positions then? Will it again bo, Pilate on the judgment-seat, and Jus us., bound, before him? Let

Pilate's sentence aas cruelly unjust; but the sentence of JesuH will be strictly just Then all kings and rulers who here have wickedly lorded it ever their fallow-men will see that they themselves are but men. For we read: "And tbe kings of the earth, and the great men, aad the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men" shall fiee from tbe wrath of the Lamb, "for tbe great day of His wrath iseome, and who shall be able to stand?" (Rev. :lft.l7). The scales will then be turned, and Judas, Calaphas, Herod, and ftlate, all together, shall no longer be able to make headway against Him whom, together, they saoseeded in crucifying. If you had been Pilate, what would you have done with Jesus? Yea say: "Oh! I would have acquitted Illm." But supposing that, when acquitted, Jeees had turned to you and had asked yea whether you ought not to become His disciple, what answer would you have given?
