* THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. International Lesson for April 28, 1895— ¢ [The Lord’s Supper—Mark 14:12-26. [Specially Arranged from Peloubet's Notes.] _ GOLDEN TEXT.—This do.in remembrance of me.—Luke 22:19. ; THIS SECTION of the narrative includes the whole story .of the institution of the Lord’s Supper, chiefly in Mark 14:12-31; and John chapters 18-17. . INTERVENING STORY.—After His discourses onthe mount of Olives, Jesus continued His walk to Bethany, where He spent Wednesday and Thursday morning in retirement, probably at the home of Lazarus; while the Jewish rulers were conspiring against Him. Thursday afternoon He sent two of His disciples to Jerusalem to prepare for the Passover, and toward evening s went there with His disciples. TlME.—Thursday evening, April 6, A. D. 30. It was the evening after the 14th of Nisan (the day of preparation, and heace called the first day of the feast), and therefore was the beginning of the 15th of Nisan (Friday, April 7), which, according to the Jewish reckoning, commenced immediately after the sunset of the 14th, and was the day on which the Passover was eaten. 'Q .PLACE.-—An upper room in Jerusalem. PARALLEL ACCOUNTS.—Matthew = 26:17-30; Lulke 22:7-30; 1 Corinthians 11:23-25. Compare John 13:1-30; and read John, chapters 13 to 17. 4 LESSON NOTES. THe Strife to Be First.—The strife probably began when the disciples were assembling in the upper room and were gbout to take their places at the table. Even in this most solémn hour, mgre solemn than they realized, there ar¢se a contention among the disciples as to who should be the greatest, probably with reference to the places of honor at the table. ‘‘How like -a magunting devil in the heart rules the ‘unreined ambition!” But distinguish between the strong desire to improve, to; have large usefulness, to grow in holiness and love, and the desire to hajye more honor and power, or even to|be better than others. To do the vetry best we can in everything is our duty. x S

Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet.— We gain a very erroneous idea of the meaning of this action if we imagine th#xt it was performed for a mere example of humility, or even ds an illustration. It was simply a humble, ménial service that ought to have been done by the disciples, but which they refused or neglected to do. No¢ wonder the conscience-smitten disciples weére amazed, and that Peter could not endure that Jesus should wash his feet. After this the Passaver feast was celebrated in the usual Jewish manner. What is its significance? (1) It was th(e anniversary of the birth'of the Jewish nation. (2) It marked the Divine fayor and protection in preserving their firstborn from destruction. The destroying angel passed over the houses on which the blood was sprinkled, or, as some take it, the Jehovah angel ps{ssed over and stood over the door, and shut out the destroying angel. (3) Itfcommemorated their salvation from thie bondage of Egypt, and their separation to a holy life. (4) The sacrifice acknowledged their sin and need of atbnement, (5) which they must apply toithemselves by faith. (6) The absence of leaven dencted their putting away sin. (7) The bitter herbs were a token of their repentance. (8) The whole foreshadowed the coming of their Redéemer.

The Teafhing‘s of the Lord’s Supper. The supper is a memorial of a departed Friend, a prophecy of a returning F*'iend, and a parable, and vision, and revelation of a perpetually present and ejer-]iving and life-giving Friend. The celebration of this supper brings to remembrance the leading truths of the Gpspel of Jesus Christ. ; It holds up to our view the infinite love ‘of God, Who gave His only begotten Son. It brings to remembrance the life of Christ, all He was, and did and said. It makes Him a living reality to us. It isian irrefragable proof that He lived and died for-us. : - {As the Passover to the Jews, so this supper helps us to realize the grievous bondage of sin from which Christ has redeemed us. : 'We must partake by faith, or it will be of no avail. :

'The simplest and most common things of daily life are employed to teach vs of Christ, so that all may understand, 50 that everything shall ‘remind us of Bfim,,and the whole daily life may be sanctified and transfigured. - 'Byeating together, ‘we learn the blessing and power of the oneness of God’s veople. ‘““Many as the waves, but one as the sea.” Like the radii of a circle, the nearer we are to the center, Christ, the nearer we are to one another. ' It implies a new consecration of ouwr= selves to God in the new covenant. - It is a prophecy of Christ’s second cbming, of the perfect triumph of His kingdom; for we are to celebrate it till He comes. It contains a hope and a promise of victory and Heaven. | It is the holding up before the world the cross of Christ; not a selfish gathering of a few saints, but a proclamat%on of the Saviour for all, and that He {8 cur Lord and Saviour. : | Parting Words.—John 14. At the table, and 15, 16, after they had risen frsn the table, and were about to depart. These words-are full of promises, of comfort and of instruction; and will ever be read with more interest and hielpfulness when we remember the circumstances in which they were spoken. : i % Catherine de Medicl and the Weed: ' In 1572 somebody sent Catherine de Medici a. box of powdered tobacco leaves.

Hood’s Sarsaparilla - Is the Only True Blood Purifier

Live Like a Hero and Die Like a Man. - ‘Bravely into the battle of life, Bravely into the rattle of strife, Enter, ye hearts that are noble and true, Doing the work you are fitted to do; 3 Danger waits those who their duty would shun; ; ) ¢ He's safe who feels sure that the field shall be won. - ‘.. So rest not in zero, rise high as you can; Live like a hero and die like a man. - Never as now were heroes required, : Never as now the divinely inspired; The world waits for leaders to lead it along, In aid of the right and opposed to the wrong;It welcomes the poet who soars us he sings, And the word of the Lord which the true prophet brings. So don’t be a Nero, all evil to plan, But live like a hero and die like a man. The cross needs uplifting to point men above, To tell them God lives full of mercy and love, That no soul need perish, redemption is near, Though yonder is Heaven, the -kingdom is here; , That the true life that's lived is the living for .. " ‘others, : For God is our Father and all men are broth€rs. ' Sorest notin zero, up. high as you can, - -, Live like a hero and die like a man. —Rev. J. P. Hutchinson, in Chicago Record. - Like a Queen. sk Oh! like a queen’s her happy tread, And like a queen’s her golden head! : Bnt, oh! at last, when all is said, ! . Her woman's heart for me!

We wandered where the river gleamed 'Neath oaks that mused and pines that dreamed. A wild thing of the woods she seemed, i “ So proud, and pure, and free! : All Heaven drew nigh to hear her sing, ‘When from her lips her soul took wing; ’ The oaks forgot their pondering, ; The pines their reverie. <« And, oh! her happy, queenly tread, . : And, oh! her queenly, golden head! ‘ But, oh! her heart, when all is said, ) . - Her woman’s heart for me! —William Watson, in London Spectator. . To My Daughter Nettie. lam praying for thee to-night, my child, ‘While the shadows come down like a pall, That He who numbers thy shining hair, - And noteth the sparrow’s fall, . Will gently lead thee, my darling child, In pleasant paths alway; i ‘Will tenderly carry my lamb in His arms, : Thy head on His bosom lay. : ) : When the morning sun gilds the easterh sky ‘With its rays of crimson and gold, i 'Tis then I am praying for thee, my child," «With a love which can never be told, That when the tasks of life are all done, Which the Father to thee hath given, That then He will say: “My child, come home,"’ And together we meet in Heaven. .

A GREAT COUGH REMEDY. Perhaps you may think that Scott’s Emulsion is only useful to fatten babies, toround up the angles and make comely and attractive, lean and angular women, and fill out the hollow cheeks and stop the wasting of the consumptive, and enrich and vitalize the blood of the scrofulous and anzemic persons. It will do all this —but it will do more. It willcurea o ot Hard, Stubborn Cough when the ordinary cough syrups and specifics entirely fail. The cough that hngers after the Grip and Pneumonia will be softened and cured by the balsamic heal- . ing and strengthening influences of this beneficent - food-medicine, namely, Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Qi gnd Hypophosphitesof Limie.and Boda. & won v ' Refuse substitutes.
