THE SUNDAY SCHOOL, SERIOUS SUBJECTS CAREFULLY CONSIDERED. A Scholarly Exposition of the Lesson -Thought- Worthy of Calm Reflec-tion-Half an Hour's Study of the Scriptures Time Well Spent. Lesson for March 10. Gohlen l< \t. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God.” Matt. G: 3;}. The Rich Young Ruler is the subject for this lesson M kl k 10: 17-27. Hore comes another man who wishes to do something that he may inherit eternal lite. Indeed, this one seems so like the lawyer who called forth from tmr Saviours lips the story of the Good Samaritan, recently studied (Luke 10: 25-371 that w - might be inc^ : ncd to think them one and the same person, were it not for the fact that Matthew in his gospel describes both interviews and distinctly sep. mates them (Matt. 19; hi. and Matt. 22: 3o). In the case of the young man considered in the lesson before us the motive seems to have been higher and nobler. But the failure to close with our

Lord s overture seems on this account al* the more sad. May it warn ami at the same time win many of our young men to-day. Points in the Lesson. Christ loves the young. He has just proven it in the reiwM preceding by taking up a child in his arms ami caressing ft. He goes yet further to prove it by beholding (Greek, looking at) a young man. and loving him. t>, that look of love} How could the young man resist it ? How can you? And yet the young man tir-1 sought the Lord. He came running. There is a right as well as a wrong impalse in the soul. Is it a relic of Edon? The lower nature dominates, but there m a sweet instinct in the soul, apparent most of all in childhood, that lifts the eye and the hand heavenward. There is not enough in it to save us. but just enough to bring us thoiyhtfully into the way where Jesus is standing waiting nad ready to impart his own efficient spirit of complete devotion. “Good Master,” cried the young man. and in that he spoke well. ‘‘There is none good. but one.” quoth Christ, "that is God.” O, why did not the young man take the blessed clue and go and cry out and soul-surrender, like Peter, “And thou art God! Thou art the Son of the bring God!” But it was just this positive and affirmative committal that he was unwilling to make. He seems a worthy young man on the negative side. “AJI these have I observed." he said, "from my youth.” But notice the negatives; "Do not commit adultery. Do not kill. Do not steal”—not. not. all the way. It was Old Testament piety, merely, not tlm positive faith ami fealty of tin* new dis pensation. Our Lord tells him at once his fatal lack. "Come out." he says in effect. "Make a plain and open surrender to the new kingdom of righteousness, sell what you have, break with the oid and come, take up the cross and follow me." What was that cross? The connection clearly indicates, it was his wealth er the giving up of his wealth. What is your cross? The thing you an- not willing to give up for Jesus’ sake. Give it —■ tqvand it is a wrnss no Im er: it re<em-

bios a crown rather. And be went away sad and sorrowful. There were two ;>eople that were deeply grieved here, three indeed. The young man was grieved beeat so tn his own way. without a positive and public lommtttai of all he was and ail be had to the Lord, be could not obtain what swuinl so de sirable. The Saviour was gri ved because he could see what the young man w — turning his back upon, for he had greater riches to impart. Hints and Illustrations. A less ui f.r young men. Christ wants the voting men. Uis heart yearns toward them. Looking upon them he loves them. Will they not love him in return? Plainly a large per cent, of our young men in this country are not Christians and evidently also a large per cent, do not attend church worship. Why do they not go t<> cbureh? Mr. Bok. editor of the Ladies’ Home Journal, has bcm recently trying to •ell us. in the Cosmopolite . A young man himself, and with warm sympathies for j >m;g men. he has chosen to take the side of the pew rather than the pulpit—the empty pew. It has seemed to him that the preaching of the day is too dry. or distant or dismal. There is to * much talk about the prodigal son, am! sins from which ordinary social restraints will withhold self-respecting youth. One reply that has been rendered to this statement of the case is that it is a simple though horn st plea for the ethical guild, the moralistic conscience. and it forgets th* the carnal heart is in enmity against Cod. naturally so. To such a one rules of moral behavior are more acceptable than the preaching of a self-denying cross. The young man who came to < ’hrist would probably have come again had not Christ put the question of sinful unbelief and of personnl cross-bearing so closely to him. Undoubtedly if the pulpit would go to preaching ethics and the improving of the i

ihoral nature, and would 'l"th" tb < | W'-a-bltm in p< is'O-m' bH ’mu - .t 1 , would haw a larger following al th" m-t , at leas’. Hit just this P- d -md h■ ’ would not do. He spok •of the human । heart ii< prodigal and sinful, ami of tin- I necessity of new birth by th ■ power of I the Holy iihost. Let mvaehers and tenth- < rs in this clamorous day oi < riti< i-m note Paul’s words, “Ami I bsthren when 1 cam" t<. you. came not with exeellem,' <.f speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of Hod. For 1 deter- j mined ma to know anything among you save Jesus Christ and him crucified.” Keep on telling the story of Jesus. It is sure to win. whilst it winnows. It is the one mes-age that will call out those who are the Lord’s. Sing the song and in due time get the token of lost souls found. Next Lesson —"Zaeehei s the Publican.” - Luke 19: 1-10. To the righteous nature the mere fact tint it feels inclined to do a wrong brings with it a sense of unworthiness, and oven of guilt. If something unpleasant occurs which does not tempt us to impatience wo tire not troubled: but if it tempts us to say a bitter word, even though we may suppress it. yet the very fuel that such a thing moved us at all is depressing to our spirits, and we confess it in prayer to the Lord as a fault that we could even be affected by a little unpleasant matter.

A bill prepared by Jimntl.au I‘crtam, one of the best known writers mi agricultural topics in the West, has been introduced in the Illinois State Semite l.y Senator Aspinwall appropriating .st;.o i.i for farmers’ institutes.
