THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. SERIOUS SUBJECTS CAREFULLY CONSIDERED. A Scholarly Exposition of the Lesson-L Thoughts Worthy of Cahn ReflectionHalf an Hour’s Study of the Scriptures •“Timo Well Spent. Th© Kingdom of Christ. The lesson for Sunday, January 3, may be found in Isaiah 11:1-10. introductory. 55 e have come back to that cider season of prophecy. A twilight hour it is, and yet who does not enjoy Die vision of the rising sun, as the Jord of life and light breaks ta the far dim east with healing in his wings? These were glorious visions of the son of Amos. They are meant for es a » well as for the Israel of old. They usher in for us new experiences of grace and glory, and it is the same God who speaks to Isaiah, that later spake through bis glad angels to the men of Bethlehem. The rod and branch that filled the wistful eye and trustful heart of Isaiah is the same as opens unto us to-day the ways of truth and righteousness But havo you ever thought of this? If that longing seer of old had the sweet, clear vision that is ours to-day, would he bo as cold and speechless, at times, as we?

WHAT THE LESSON SAVS. And. Isaiah has been speaking of God’s judgments on Israel’s enemies; he proceeds now to speak of Ged's morev toward “ !8 peopie and all those that fear him. Kou. Literally, a shoot or twig. From t ld root meaning to wave, as of a supple, tender branch Stem. Originally, the stump of a felled tree. Translated steck at Job 14: 8. Branch or sprout; from the root meaning to be verdant. Roots. I irst meaning a binding or fasted ig to gothor; thence that which roots in and abides. Spirit. First meaning breath. The breath of the Lord shall rest upon him. So with the disciples at Pentacost. Acts 2. Might. From the verb meaning to bind or twist togetlur, hence to be strong < r ^lP'ted to the sun, at Judges And shall make him of quick understanding. Ono void in the Hebrew, meaning smell. Translated scent at Job 14: 9. The Revision here gives a very liberal meaning. See 5 ariations. In the fear of the Lord. Same expression as in the preceding verse, interpreting it in fact, I. e., Chris;’s instinct for godly doing. Douay: “Godliness.” And in that day. The Revision gives the fuller and more accurate meaning. See 5 ariations.- Ensign. Signifying a standing or rallying place. Used at Neh. 8: 7, (•■And the people stood in their place.” Rest. I rom the word meaning to let down. See the Douay’s strange rendering here. s’ariations. Glorious. Hebrew: Glory. In the eye of the seer, one great burst of glory. WHAT THE LESSON TEACHES. Os quick understanding. “Scent” or “smell,” the margin suggests. Acutcifess of perception, large and wise discriminatii'n is the meaning of it. Such was the mind of Christ. sVith righteousness diet ho judge the poor, not with the partialities and prejudices of men. sVith equity did he plead the cause of the meek, viewing each case with the eye of an all-seeing God. Is it a woman on the coast of Tyre, bidden by his own disciples to be silent? He sees the validne s of her plea. “The devil is gene out of thy daughter.” Is it the forbidden little ones? He has taken them in his arms. Is it the publican Zaccheus, read out of the kingdom by men? “This day I must abide in thy house.” Is it a pour outcast woman kneeling at hi-feet? “Her sins which are many are forgiven her, for she loved much.” Is it a thief upon the cross at his s'de suffering the just award of his misdeeds? “/hisilay sbalt thou be with ma in para’W*' IflWwsT trust him. k j The lion shall eat straw like the ox. A ; question of diet, is it? srery5 r ery well. That is ' the reason th i lamb and the kid shall be ’ j safe; it is the reason why “a little child 1 | shall feed them.” The lion is not eating lambs nor children; he is carting straw. j You say that will take a miracle: natural ' , appetites are not easily changed. No, the ’ I e irnal and carnivorous mind is at enmity with all that is good; it is not easily changed. But God can change it, and it > to God we are looking here. A miracle, and nothing short of a miracle, will suffice us. j I This kind goeth not out save by prayer and I fasting. There are those that say to the i reformer, sVhy, this is a mattcrof men’s apI petites and propensities. You cannot alter ■ their diets. sVell. you see. you are talking about one sort of a lion and we about anI other. Ours, in the blessed scheme of re- ! demption, is a lion that shall eat straw i like an ox, not a “man-eater.”

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain. It is the high aim that Vie noble company of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union set Ie fore them, and that they have last year in Boston given larger, grander expression to than ever. God bless them for their faith! God gird them for their endeavor! A world at peace, a tender earth that shall not hurt the child of any weak one that rests his helplessness uj on it—it is a gracious outlook. I want the joy of such a vision myself. I want more’ and more to hate evil and love mercy to crown down war and cry up peace. Our Quaker friend is riuht about it. Lord Wolseley in his manual of war suggests that to identify a spy or scout a leaf be torn out of Ills pocket testament. Says this peace-loving brother of ours: “Suppose you tear out the Sermon on the Mount, or the First Epistle of John, that speaks of love rather than revenge.” The earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord. Now let me have done with it, that narrow, dismal, pessimistic spirit that has despaired of any good here on earth, and that has said, All g< es wrong. Not so; it is a libel upon God’s providence. All is not going wrong; all is reaching toward ultimate glory. And this old earth shall be made to praise him who created it. It shari be one day as full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. Lord, keep in all in the hoping spirit. May thy church never despair! While Christ sits “henceforth expecting,” may his servants “hope all things.” A discouraged chin cli accomplishes little; a hopeful church much. Penteccstal helping comes to Penteccstal hoping. His rest shall be glorious. “Alabama; here is rest,” said the red man, thrusting liis worn weapon into the earth. But the shores of the Mississippi were again filled with alien war cries, and he was driven on. His rest was empty and vain. Here is rest, wo say. and we betake oursolvos to some retired nook, but pain and anxiety are soon lodging with us. We fly to the busy city. Here is rest, we say, and we immerse ourselves in business or society. Alas, there is no respite here. Our rest is wretchedness. 0, to find a rest that shall satisfy, a rest that shall be gb rious. that shall itself be glory! Yes, and here is the secret of our unrest, wc have been seeking it in something short of glory, God’s blessedness. Augustine was right: “We are meant for thee, and our souls are restless till they rest in thee.” Next Lesson. “A Song of Salvation.” Isa. 26: 1-10. The surgr al treatment for almost sverything is “Cut it out.” This has been su cessfuliy applied to a case of obesity, the excess of fat being mainly in the abdominal walls forming folds that covered the thighs like an apron, l our and a half pounds of unwieldy fatty tissue was successfully lemove:, to the relief of the patient. . The late Governor Hovey left a quantity of verse, mostly imitative of Scotch md Spanish ballad poetry, of which - he was extravagantly fond, and there is one extensive dramatic poem te iing the story If Mary Queen of Scots and her loves.
