At last Tamplco has be come world known. On that clustor of bungalows, tho old church and tho Jail built on a sand heap, tho eyes of tho world nro focused.

Be hind tho smashing noise of tho railway depot tho old rabble of housos and drinking shops nnd churches remain. The place In its essence, as it were, is still Central American and beautiful. Dirty, yes, but splendidly dirty. Tho old square remains, and by the square tho green and white cathedral and the whito painted, dirt incrusted Jail. Tho jail 1b a romance in itself. It is a placo unique. Perhaps the most democratic prison in all the world. Thero you can bo lodged for some trivial offense drunkenness, for in stance and then perhaps forgotten. If you havo no friends or no money, you might remain there for months Justice or should wo call it law? in Tamplco is a casual thing. Every thing Is a matter of tomorrow the tomorrow which never comes. So that if you happen to be n. prisoner without outside influence your stay may be a prolonged one unless you havo a few dollars with which to bribe tho Jailer. Tho worst of it is, your fellow prison ers will probably steal your clothes. But, In sptto of tho wharves and tho railway, tho old native market re nalns.

JEWELS OF LONDON MUSEUM Ancient and Interesting Relics Now to Be Seen at Strat ford House.

SKLLURS, Dlroctor of Even ing Department The Moody Dlblo Instl tuto of Chicago ) LESSON FOR JUNE 14 THE FRIEND OF SINNERS. LESSON TKXT-Luko 18.3-H; 19:1-10. GOLDEN TEXT "I enmo not to onl the righteous but sinners." Mark 2:17. Tho flret section of our lesson is tho beginning of a new paragraph (seo R. V.) and contains ono of tho Mas ter's best-known parables. Immedi ately preceding this Is tho parable of tho unjust Judgo artd tho importunato widow. Wo aro plainly told (v. 9) why tho Master spako this parable. It is easy to say that thoeo who trust ed In their own righteousness and "sot all others at naught" (K. V.) wore tho Pharisees, but such is not the cose; and this parable is a warning to ue, loBt wo also trust our own righteous ness (Iso. 64:6. Using this particu lar class as a background, Jesus paints, in words of simple grnndeur, a picture qulto familiar throughout the ages. In it ho reveals tho falseness of human standards and declares tho Judgment of heaven. The contrast la vivid. Lot us look at (J) the Phari see. Tho illuminating phrase is in the words "ho prayed with himself" (v. 11). Ostentatiously tho Pharisees separated themselves from their fol low men and this separation seems to havo extended even Into his prayer llfo, and he Is withdrawn from God also. This is an appalllqg picture of tho man who trusts only himself Examlno his prayer and wo seo the supposed prayer is really a paean of self-exaltation. It is truo he begins by nscrlbing it to the Deity, but ho ascribes no praiso to God, no thank fulness for blessings received; Indeed, he ignores God throughout after tho introduction. On tho other hand, his only recognition of other men is that of contempt for them. H6 Is con cerned altogether with his own ex cellencies and with the delinquencies of othors. "I am not as the reBt of men" (v. 11 It V.). Ho extols proper virtues of morality, religiousness, or thodoxy and generosity, but went away unsaved. Humility of Heart. (2) The Publican regarded himself as "tho sinner" (v. 13 It. V. marg.). He knew ho was a great, an Irrelig ious offender against law and graco. He had sacrificed everything to ac quire money. Ho comes with no out ward show except an abundant evl denco of tho shame and humility of his heart Ho also was excluded from men but not from God. Burdened with the sense of his sin, ho casts him self upon the mercy of God. Ho Is absolutely devoid of any trust in him self, any contempt for others, and makes a straight, earnest, passionate abandonment of himself nnd his need to God. Ho goes away "Justified" (Judged right). Why? Because ho had taken the right place, a sinner's place before God, and found pardon. No ono who claims a place before God because he is a righteous man will be Justified in his sight. The truo way to God Is the one of the Publican, not that of the Pharisee. II. The Second Section is a story and deals with au individual case, Zac cheus, who was n "chiof Publican." Jesus sought him (seo Golden Text), whereas Zaccheus was animated by curiosity, and the writer informs us ho was small of stature, hence tho necessity of climbing tho sycamore tree. He went up the tree because of curiosity, he came down because of conviction. He wanted to see this man in the center of tho crowd and was amazed to hear Jesus call him by name and with tho authority of a king commands his friendship and hospitality. Must Yield Wealth. Zaccheus was rich, dishonest, dissat isfied, but desperately in earnest, and a man of prompt decision. The esti mation of his fellow-citizens Is Indi cated by v. 7. Notwithstanding nil of this Zaccheus was not so wedded to his money as to let it keep him out of the kingdom. In chapter 18 wo read of the rich man who "lacked ono thing." Ho was lost "went away" because he would not yield his weirlth (see also 18:2G, 27). What took place within the house of Zaccheus wo aro not told, but for tho Master to enter was looked upon cltljer as amazing ignorance of Zaccheus' character or else extreme carelessness concerning the maintenance of his own character. Jesus was dealing with one man, not the multitude, hence he leaves them to their amazement. Whllo this Is true, yet wo can surmise something of that Interview by thu result (v. 8) for Zac cheus seems to hnvo made a public avowal pf his ethical and moral change of heart. Noto the steps: (1) Ho "sought to see Jesus," John 3:14, 16; iBa. 4D:22. (2) Ho was vtry much in earnest, "climbed a sycamore tree," Luko 13:24. (3) He made no delay, "make haste" Iso. 55:6. The result wus that of great blessing to tho people and Joy tn tho heart of Zaccheus. (4) Ho was obedient, Joy ously nnd promptly. Tho genuineness of his transformation was evidenced by tho wny it affected his pockotbook. Ho mado abundant restitution and gavo bountifully to tho poor. Tho love of God shed abroad iu ttte heart of a miserly, selflBh man qr church will promote honesty botii to God and moni and make men large-hearted, self-forgetting, ministering saints, Prov. 11:24; Rom. 12:13; II Cor. 8:5. It was as "Son of Man" that Jesus went to the house of Zaccheus. God's pattern, God'o man. Ho mado no ref erence to race, nor to caste. His pur pose wus to reach a "LOST" man and 'twas for such ho camo Into fho world, to "Save tho lost" From -the combined parable and Btory we can read tho lesson thai Je sus is tho friend of sinners and aot ot sin, ' s , ' a . from Plantation to Consumer Use Pure Tobacco Avoid adulterated trust prod ucts that endanger health and happiness.

Our Pennsylvania Dutch are gooo farmers, but not so good as their rela tives in Germany. For every bushel of wheat a Pennsylvania farmer produces from one acre tho German grows two and a tenth bushels. His farm Is small, but tho man who delves beyond tho Rhino makes each acre produco exactly twice as many potatoes 03 do our farmers. The man who bows to a kaiser in stead of a president extracts just a half more oats and over a third more barley and about CO per cent more ryo from each acre than does tho Improvi dent American. , The man who has but a dollar can live for a long tlmo on It, whereas tho prodigal can waste a $10 bill on one dlnnor. The German has so Uttlo ground that ho makes It work doubly hard. When the United States has 200, 000,000 population our farm production au aero will likely have doubled from sheer necessity.
