I fear. I threw down my coin. ThSlI the fai l wadcrslpped that the tcn-doilar gold piece was a bad one. The process kW on its WS) back to the sehooi n perhaps a little dlsorganiid.

Tic kohkI doctor had williaglj paid m,v bill, and a- we walked home he assured tne that he had no doubt there vva a mistake somewhere which sooner or later, would be explained. The boys, I wna sorry to Hud. took n different view of the situation, and Ton i arroll, who was said to hove the powi i of standing longer on one foot than any other of the pupils, remarked: "If lllanchard's fat h r ga c him a bad ten dollar piece, then Mr. EUsnehsfd must be S very queer kind of a man. 1 hut is all I hare to say ." Ton did himself an injustice. That

Mrsi not quite all he had to sa,v . 'I lie aext day he snid more.

And. besides, Tom was half a foot taller than 1. and my chances of satisfying him by physical force that he was wrong would baxt been of a veiy slender kind.

Jesus went up secretly to Jerusalem, j and tin first thing the rulers knew He I was teaching la the temple. u. Opposition Bringe Oat the AuI thoriu bj Which Jesus Taught. Va. 1 18-31, including also Vs. 15-27. If, "Then cried Jesus:" The word traaslsted cried signifies a loud ex- . press, on of strong emotion. "In the temple:" The courts of the temple. "Ye both know mc. and ye know I whence 1 am:" Vou do indeed have a degree of knowledge about inc. it is true. You know my appearance, my family , my home and bj my miracles yc u know thai I am from (jod. "lam not come of myself:" 1 have a Heavenly origin, and mn the messenger of 1 tiod. "He that sent tne is true:" Ileal,

genuine, the one true God, "whom yre j know not:" You who are selfish, sin- i fill, not pare In heart, y ou know about God, but you do not know Him, His goodt ese, His love, His desire to save. I 20. "Hut 1 know Him," and represent Him. 1 have had every opportunity of knowing, for 1 have been with Him, I am His messenger, i 30. " l hey sought to take Him:" They S kept seeking, because He claimed to be the Messiah, and thus took ground against their claims and their teachingsII, "And many of the people believed on Him:" In contrast with the rulers who BOUght to kill Him. The teaching

of Jesus was not in vain. lhe faith may have been weak and imperfect, but it was sincere and so accepted. "Will He do more miracles?" Signs. Miracles were God's signature to and Indorsement of His messenger, snd vyre signs expressing His loving kinddas, H iB desire to help, His power i . r

"Sent offiosra:" Because the murmuring or I muttering of the people divided in opinion made them think thut it would be snfe to arrest Jesus. 33. "Yet a I'ttle while am I with you:" He lived six months lunger among them, offering them the opportunity of salvation for themselves and their nation. "And then 1 go (withdraw, retire) unto Him that sent me:" When that hour came they would lie ; able to kill Him, but not till then. 34. "Ye shall seek me:" You will seek me for help in your distress, when the awful judgments shall come upon you and your city, wars, and famines, und pestilences, und earthquakes, and grvat tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world. Then they would seek Him early and not And Him. "Thither ve cannot come:" P.ecausc you do not seek aright, you do not defire the kingdom of God, and to be saved from your sins, but only to be delivered from trouble while in y our sins. II. "Then said the Jews:" According I to I.ange, " The mocking inn lice of their n pi rises in a climax of three clause- : ! (1) "W hither will He go, that we shall not And Him?" To Paradise? to Qod, who has done so much for our nation ? j Who OOUld believe that we are not us much heirs of Heaven as He is? I "Will lie go unto the dispersed (Jew) ; among the Gentiles?"
