Topic for llie Sunday School Lesson '•The Ascension of Christ.

1. The former treatise have I made. O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 2. Until the day in which he was taken up, after that be through the Hcly Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen. 3. To whom also be shewed himself alive after his passion by many infalliable proofs being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: 4. And, beiDg assembled together with them, commanded them that tney should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait lor toe promise of the Father, which, sailli he. ye have heard of me. 5. For John truly baptized with water but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. 6. When they, therefore, were come together, they asked of him, saying Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom of Israel? 7. And ho said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Fathor hath put in his own power. 8. But ye shall receivo power afcer that the Holy Ghost is come upon you

ye shall bo witnesses unto nib both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, aud unto the uttermost parts of the earth. 9. And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.. 10. Aud while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as "he went up, beliold two men stood by them in white

^LL^Wbich also said, ye men of Galilee, whv stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken up fjom you into heaven shall so come, iu like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. 12. Then returned they unto J^rusale'm, from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a Sabbath day's journey.—Acts i, 1-12.

The New Testament is divided into

three

principal parts: tho Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles and the Epistles. The first is an embodiment ot the lite of Christ, written by four authors. The second is a serial of the services of his inspired apostles, endued with his spirit, and setting up his church. The third is the upspringing and spread of his church info Africa, Asia, Europe and Britain. The three parts each cover a period of about the s®™® length of time—about thirty years. The same thread of doctrine runs througn all. It is red with the blood of Calvary. It is Christ Jesus the

Lord,

the alpha and

omega, and all in all. The Acts of the Apostles were*written by Luke author of the third gospel. Hence the book opens as if Luke E0°53Uaad pen last nigbt at

He dedicates the book to Theophilus, who may have been converted Greek, led to accept of Christ through a personal influence of Luke. Theophilus was *n earnest man (Luke i, 3,) showing that even from the first Christ had some of the illustrious among his disciples.

MAKING READY

FOR

THE ASCENSION

1. It was not done hastily. God never has shown haste in any of his movements. We are always impatient •with delays. But he never quickens his movements beyond-the dignity of their originally ordained^narch. After

Jesus had wrenched off the hands of death and risen from the grave, he gave himself during forty davs to the instruction, comfort and confirmation of his deseiple. Had he ascenaed straight from the sepulchre to the seat of glory, the world would never have believed in his resurrection. He remained and made himself fully known during forty days. .. 2. He mingled so much and intimately with men during this time that none might doubt honestly that be had risen. There are ten public meetings with men recorded. Trace these out in the gospels. Sometimes he talked with them sometimes ate sometimes wrought miracles—the lishe? sometimes "breathed on them," and always contributed new strength to their faith 89 that finally— 3. They were made full3T ready to understand the meaning of his departure. When the crucifieis' work was finished, the difeiples fled in fright and seperated the one from the other, heartbroken and hopele.-s. But now wheu the cloud shall come aud gather him up in its glory-fold?, we will find them returning to Jerysalem with joy. (Luke, xxxiv, 52.) Jesus made all things re*dy before he rose from earth to heaven. He set the example of a perfect life he died the death of a sacrifice and substitute: be rose and left behind him in the grave a pledge that all who believe in him "will God bring with him." He lived so long among men after his resurrection that no dispute occured concerning his ascension. Therefore, verse 3 of Lesson, referring to these infallible and multiplied proofs of hi-* resurrection, also gives us the evidence that Jesus got everything fully ready before he left the world. 4- He directed them what to do, and recalled to their minds a promise already made (John, xiv, 10.)

Verses 4*8, Lesson, may'be safely passed here, as their glorious truths will come out in our next lesson.

MOVING AWAY AND UPWAKD, The scene was one of unparalled glory. The fire descending on Carmel must have been splendid. The envelope of transfiguration light

must have been bewilderingly bright and beautiful. But none of them equaled this last scene of Jesus' life on earth. The company stand over near Bethany, on the high hill east of Jerusalem, and in sight of the city. As they went along—he leadiug the way out of the city and down the eastern slope, over Kddrou and up Mount Ol ivet, the very tiack he hi taken the night when he went in anguish to Gethaeinane the same ptJth the King of Israel, David, took wheu he left Jerusalem in dethronement and disgrace—going along this ever mem orabje path he talked to the desciplea of.their duty and future. What golden words they were! Did ever a honeycomb drip with such conlection as must have fallen from his lips?

When be was transfigured on Tabor, he was praying at the moment when the fashion of his countenance was changed. It caught the fuil light of the levealed glory while he prayed. Here, again, aud the last thing he did on earth, was to pray. (Luke, xxiv, 51.) And.while ho was praying there, was a shout of glory which descended to 'Where h« atoad., encircled him aud carried him up slowly, visibly, beautifully, till thenadoring hearts filled with joy joined in worship. "They worshipped him." (Luke, xxiv, 52

COMING BACK.

We read of no regret among the disciples when he had disappeared. Strange, was it not? They certainly loved him better than ever. They still believed in him because they worshipped him. They did grieve greatly when he WPS taken from them by the cross and tomb. But DOW they gaze and gaze, apd when thay get an explanation from the angels present, they go back to the city singing. The explanation which pacified and satisfied them bad these truths in it: 1 Christ is to come back, and be the same Christ—"This same Jesus" is to come. He had told them as much before his crucifixion—"I will come unto you." 2. He is to come as* he went. Alter the "like manner." He went upon the. golden chariot of a cloud, swept aloog by the chargers of the wind. He will "come in tbe clouds of heaven." Take your reference bibles and follow out the many aud most impressive passages where is promised to appear again upon "the clouds ot heaven." 3. He will come in imposing pomp. The eye of prophecy sees aim coming with ten thousand of his saints. (Jude, xiv.) He shall descend with a shout archangels oining the echo,and Gabriel blowing the golden trump of God (1 Thess. iv, 16), and saints swelling the strains and swarming in the procession of splendor. 4. His coming shall be so conspicuous that fevery eye shall see him." Like Noah's flood and Sodom's Are, it shall fall on all. 5. Those who have believed on him, loved apd followed him in the regeneration—that is, those who professed Christ and sought to sought to serve him—shall be seized with ad-

miration and delight. (2Thess., i, 10.) 6 They who reject him may read a revelation of their future feelings.

"When shall the coming of the Son of Man be?" This question, however often it has been asked, never has been, and never can be answered. Scholarship has achieved much in the study of prophecy, but "the day and hour knoweth no man." Never trust in gueses of any concerning "the end of the world." It will come suddenly, unexpectedly, and may come any time. God could get all things ready in a. day. Live for its coming. THEORIES CONCERNING THE END OF

THE WORLD,

BO far as they have any. support in Scripture, may be confined to two 1. The first supposes that some day, and suddenly, Christ shall be seen decending in person to reign upon the earth. He will alight Upon the hill from which he went up. He will erect a khrone in Jerusalem. The Jews will be brough6 back from their wanderings. Mighty'energies of Jesus' spirit shall shake the nations and roll waves of salvation round the globe. Righteousness and

ler inia hotel m- u»» city. Bell was *eatedinthebOt«lWben Moller walking^to him struck hlm on the head

reiiaion shall reign everywhere. Wickedness shall sink away in shame. This season of millennium glory shall last through the thousand years and enlarge the realm of the Lord Jesus to the ends of the earth. At its close there shall c0016,^16^" tastrophe of a burning world. The saints shall be caught up in the air. The graves shall give up their dead, and the judgement scenes shall be enacted, and the final settlement and assignments shall be made. 2. The second theory holds that the gospel is to bo carried to all nations. The friends and foes ol Ctiriat shall each become more positive in their faith and in their infamy. There will come at last a mighty reritfiouF conflict, "the battle of Arruaireddon." Suddenly Jesus will be seen coming in clouds. His people then upon earth will'be swept up to meet him and his shining escort.The grave shall be opened. The dead shall rise, and all mankind shall stand before Jesus in judgment. The seutence shall be pas? oil, aud the world's affairs shall have vhen been wound lip forever. The dreamed-of millennium, according to this theory, will occur just before Christ's appearing, during a time when there will be victory everywhere for Christianity and defeat for all the enemies of the Master.

When a stranger has cli mbed feu pairs of stairs and made a half dozeu turns he finds himself at the door of the chief editorial room of the Philadelphia Bulletin. Max Adeler sits just inside, and as the stranger enters he is seated at Adeler's right hand. He is seated in an old-fashioned splint-bottomed chair, the bottom of which has gone to look for the dust of the IPilgrim fathers. There's a newspaper spread over the vacant spot, and Mr. Alder cheerfully remarks: "Sit right down—fine day— when did you arrive?"

The man sits down. If he isa small man he sits on the floor, his feet slant toward the ceiling, his knees dig iuto his throat, and his "back is dreadfully bent, while his hat is jammed over bis eyes. •'Fell throu gb, eh inquires Mr Adeler as he looks around. How do you like Philadelphia

The stranger struggles, finds himself fast, and asks to be extricated. He is politely informed that it is again -st the rules of the office to extricate anyone who falls through the chair iu which Artemua Ward used to sit, and is in just the condition he left it "Does Philadelphia come up to your ideas kindly inquires Mr, Adeler as he opens another exchange.

The stranger sets to work to bust cbair ortionkis back, but he can do neither. He thinks the joke has been carried far enough, but is informed that it is not a joke—that .no man around that office was ever more sober in his life.

The victim tries to laugh, and remarks that five minutes more will finish his spinal column. "Ob, no it won't" replies Mr. Adeler."VVhv,I have known men woo were on the verge of the grave to live in your position for one hour and sixteen minutes!"

After a quarter of an hour or more Mr- Adeler calls in three more editors and introduces them to the stranger, and they want to know if he is pleas* ed with Philadelphia, and if he has any hard feelings against the mem orj of William Peno. Five minutes is "then spent in debating whether the victim can be extricated under a suspension of therutes. .The vote is a tie, and the city editor is called in to cast a ballot. He makes a speech expling his reasons for voting "yes," after tweenty-fivemiuutes have pass* ed away tbe stranger is released, and a photograph of SVilliam Penn given 'b&fr.

A well known traveller, gives the following account of the manner in which horses are caught in South America. They aro caught with a lasso, which is a greased and plaited thing, 40 feet in length with a nooso at one end, and driven into a corral, which is a place enclosed with posts. Of course the guacho or peon, guoes at this sport on the back of a tame animal:—"The corral was quite full of horses, most of which were young ones, about two or three years old. The chief guacho, mounted on a strong, steady animal, rode into the enclosure, and threw his lasso over the neck of a young horse, and dragged him to the gate. For some time he was very unwilling. to leave his comrades, but the moment he was out of the corral his lirst idea was to gallop off however a timely jerk of tho lasso checked him in the most effectual way.

The peons now ran after him on foot and threw a lasso over his fore-legs, just above the fetlock, and twitching it, they pulled his leg3 from under him so suddenly that I really thought the fall he had got had killed him-. In an instant a gucaho was seated on his head, and with his long knife cut off the whole of the mane, while another cut the hair from the end of his tail. This, they told me, was to mark that the horse had once been mounted. They then put apiece of hide in his mouth to servo for a bit, and a strong hide halter on his head. The guacho who was to mount arranged his spurs, which were unusually long and sharp, and while two men held the horse by the ears, he put on the saddle, which he girthed extremely tight. He then caught hold of the animal's ears, and in an instant vaulted into the saddle, upon which the men who held the halter threw the end to the rider, and from that moment, no one seemed to take any further notice of him, The horse instantly began to jump in a manner which made it very difficult for the rider to keep his seat, and quite diffei'ent from the kick and plunge of our English steed.

Hovever, the guacho's spurs soon set him agoing, and off he galloped, doing everything in his power to throw his rider. Another horse was immediately brought from the corral, and so quick was the operation, that twelve guachos were mounted in a space which I think hardly exceeded an hour. It was wonderful to see the different manner in which different horses behaved. Some would actually scream while the guachos were girthing the saddles upon their backs. Some would instantly lie down and roll upon it while some would stand without being held, their legs stiff and in unnatural positions, their necks half beni toward their tails, and looking vicious and obstinate and I could not help thinking that I would not have mounted one of those for any reward that could be offered me, for they were invariably the most difficult to subdue. It was now curious to look around and see the guachos on the horizon, in different directions, trying to bring their horses back to the corral, which is the most difficult part of their work, for the poor creatures had been so scared there •. that they were unwilling to return to the place.

It was amusing to see the antics of the horses they were jumping -and dancing in various ways, while the right arms of guachos were seen flogging them. At last they brought the horses back apparently subdued aiid broken in. The saddles and bridles were taken off, and the animals trotted toward the corral, neighing to one another.

The petty kind of presents distributed by the Prince of Wales in India is exciting astonishment and dissatisfaction in that land of magnificence and pomp. Among the articles given in return for presents which impoverished princes were clasp knives, drinking horns, opera glasses, and pencil cases. An Indian newspaper thinks that "the purveyor of this extraordinary oargo, has apparently been guided in deciding what the Indians would probably like by the works of Fenimore Cooper and reminiscences of Catlin's exhibition."
