If Dr. Starva or Madame de irnler had read the message They had not hesitated to use desperate expedients to Rain their purpose. Would lr Starva hesitate to use means as desperate to prevent Helena from summoning help? I asked niH'if this startling question as I took the stairs two at a time to the great hall The main entrance was locked. For a moment I thought that I was a prisoner in the chateau as well as Captain Fnrlies Even now I sm not certain that such was not the ention of Madame de Vamier. But

I ae.-urod him that I was. and prom1 him two francs If 1 could reach the hotel before a lady whom I was following. " Then, the gentleman must go by the short cut " I sped arter the urchin down the vlliaue street. This street Is one of the most quaint In 'he whole world.

Comment and Suggettive Thought. The Tabernacle (vs. I, 2.) Th-re

tn Ml I f w difficulties In the way of obtaining an -accurate idea of the form and construction of the taber

nacle, from the descriptions Riven; as is usual in all attempts to realize a description. Even the form of M simple a thing as the poMaa candlestick It was lmKsisible to copy in brass from the description Riven till the

model was found in the triumphal arrh of Titus at Home pictured among the treasures he brought from Jerusalem after Its destruction. Spiritual Meaning of the Tabernacle. -At all times there is need of visible expression and manifestations of the unseen (spiritual things to help even the most educated, cultured, and holy men to realize the Qnseen God and character and life So through nature we understand Ood and keep him in mind, as nearly all we know of the Kiin is revealed to us by the re flection of Its rays on material part)'.le.s in the air So the institutions of religion are "the shadow of heavenly things" (Heb. : 5. Still more were those Institutions necessary in the early education of man. So the Krrat churches and cathedrals of the am-n when few rould read and write a:e flllei with pictures and carvings of the Bible story. It tau,;ht the cradual progress of the soul toward God ; step by step we move Gndward and heavenward, each stage :nore precious as we draw near to him. There is a fourfold teaching of the gradual education. (1) The movement is from the camp to the priests' square, then to the court of the tabernacle, to the holy place, to the Holy of Holies. (2) The progression is from the bronze of the outer court, to the silver of the tent, to the gold of its candlestick and altar (3) From the linen curtains of the outer court to the embroidery of its portieres, to the tapestry of the curtains of the tent. (1) From the symbolism of the furniture of the court and of the tent, as described below. The Ark of the Testimony or witness, containing the tables of the law, the covenant between God and man, and the witness to the obedience of man. The ark was a chest of shittim wood, overlaid with gold within and without, three feet nine inches long, two feet three inches broad and deep. Over It was the merry seat of gold, upon which were the cherubim, perhaps "a symbolical representation of the redeemed." This was the central object of the tabernacle, tbe place of God's presence, reached only by a hiart that loves and obeys (Jod s law, and through his loving merry in forgiving and cleansing. The altar symbolized the need of sacrifice for sin, for some atoning power. The Laver (v. 7). symbolized the tWOMMlty of moral cleansing before one can enter the Holy Place. ' Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow." The Candlestick (v. 4.) symbolized the true, sanctified people of God, letting their light shine, themselves fed by the spirit of God. the source of all light. The Table of Shewbread (v. 4). Opposite, on the north side, to the right, as one faced the Holy of Holies, was a goldplated table on which were placed the twelve loaves of bread In two golden dlsbea. It was three feet long. 18 Inches broad, and 27 inches high. God's Visible Presence (vs. 34. 38). The shining cloud came to show that God was with them, a consuming fire to the wrongdoer, but a Glory and Guide, Defender. Redeemer, and Frind The Golden Altar of Incense (v. 6) atood Just before the entrance to the Holy of Holies It was 18 inches aquare and three feet high. The fragrance of Incense, its preclousness, and Its beautiful clouds rising to heaven make It a suitable symbol for prayer and thanksgiving. the means of communion with God. After the experiences typified by these objects, one ran meet God in the Holy of Holies and live according to the laws of his covenant, aa ntar to heaven as it is possible to be on earth Tha Table of Shewbread. -The bread typified that we need our dally aplritual bread In order to grow good and to be fitted for Gods service as much as we need dally bread for our bodies. The healthy soul is full of hungers and thirsts, and every one of tin in needs tb' food that satisfies thim The soul that does not hunger is sickly, as is tlx body without appetite Jems OhlM satisfies all these hungers. The Priestly Service (va. Vi, 13). Kven the priests must be r le.msed and anointed with nil at set atart for God's special service.
