Jesus Is drawing near to Jenmlem, tuero to accom plish that divcaio or exodus of which Moses and Ulijah talked on the mount of transllg. uration nnd of which He Himself had to often spoken (John II, 10-21, Matt, xil, U0, 40; Mark vlli, HI; Ix, SI; x, iSi, at, 45), tho death prcllpuro.l In all tho sncrillees Miico tho Lord God first clothed Adam nud Evo with tho coats of kins tQeu. iii, 21); tho atonement which provides tho only salvation for sin ners, sufllclent for tho sins of tho wholo world, efllcieut for all who recelvo It. How many Interesting Incidents nro con nected with tho history of Jericho sinco wo first hear of it in connection with tho en camping of Israel "in the plains of Moab, on this side Jordan, by Jericho (Num. xxli, l)t Tho three fold parting of tho waters of Jor dan, tho now captain of tho Lord's host un der whom Joshua so meekly took his posi tion, uiiil tho miraculous fulling of tho walls of Jericho, tho salvation of llahab nnd her kindred, tho translation of Elijah und tho healing of the watorB by Ellsua. Tho namo "Jericho" (accordiiy to Young) signifies "fragrant," and surely these Incidents in its history glvo forth the fvngrancoof Him who is tho Captain of our salvation, tho all power ful healer and deliverer, four timea is it called "tho city of palm trees" (Dcut. xxsiv, 3, Judg. i, 10; iii, 13, 11 Chron. xxvill, IS) and iho associations of tho palm treo in tho Scriptures form n most interesting, profit ublouud practical Bible study, roaching from the palm trees of Elim (Ex. xv, 127) to tho palms of tho redeemed in glory (Rev. vii, 0). "As Hp went out of Jericho." Luko says tha He healed a blind man us Ho camo nigh t) Jericho, and thut Ho then entered and passed through (Luke xviil, U5. xlx, 1), Mat thew a.s that as they departed from Jeri cho tucre were two bi nd men sitting by tho wayside, and that Ho healed them both (Matt, xx, UU-34) , thoso uccounts read iu tho simplest way seem to indicate thnt thero wero three blind men healed at this time, ono ns Ho entered Jericho und two as Ho I rt it, Uartimajus being ono of tho two. There .-, nu need to attempt to rccoucdo theso accounts so as to try and mako out that Jesus healed at this tnuo only ono or two blind men, thero is nothing hero to reconcdo except our hearts to tho Saviour, and that we become us littlo children, behoving what Ha says. "Blind Bnrtinn-us, tho son of Timreus.'' Tho one name explains tho other, Bar signi fying a son as iu Matt, xvi, 17; Acts, iv, 'M. Wo uro uot often told the names of thoso hu wero healed, and just why wo should bo told the namo of this blind man is somewhat of a mystery. What an honor to have his namo recorded in this Hook of llooks and handed down to nil generations as ono whom Jcus healed; but think of tho greater honor of having our uames wntteu in Heaven. (Lu. x, CO.) "Sat by tho highway side begging." Only a puor blind beggar, picture oi utter help lesiR'fs, having nothing and unable to do anything hut piteously ask alius of thoso uhonvro passing by, what a picture of tho sinner, wretched and miserable, and poor und bund and inked (Itev. Li, 17), but il sinner-wero only as sensible of their blindness and i .vmy ns llartimaus, how good it v, , ., fur them. 4, 'e heard that it was Jesus of Nara- rc i f i .V Mur II" had ofur heard of Uun, for Uis hd i Kin-end over all tho land, and as ho i tJ tno reports of His wondrou3 - i ".icing tho deaf to hear, tho dumb to n sic bund to see, tho lame to walk, tho whole, aud oven the dead to livo . tol! a am, ho became convinced that this was i) i.j f.ncr than the ono of whom tho pi-jpin.!. had bpukeu und foretold that Ho wouid lo these very things (Isa. xxxv, 0, (j), Inuring tin doubt, in hit heart that some day Jesus iu.,;bt pass that way so that ho might cry uio Una und bo healed, for ho had h urd luat it was written in the Scriptures, "llo s.jull deliver tho ueedy when ho erieth; tho poor a 'so, and him that hath no helper." (Is. ixxu, l-.i "Ho began to cry out, nnd say, Jesus, Son of liavid, have mercy on me." Would it bo strange if, as he heard tlio crowd approach ing, ho inwardly felt that tho day of his ilo liv rjuco had come, nnd nervously asked, Wuo Is iti What is comiugi Then as they told him that it was Jesus, with what earn estness ho must linvo cried out. Hero was tho opportunity ho had longed for, tho Mighty Ono of Israel was ut hand, and ha must cry unto Him, to do tberviso wou.d indicate either indilfcrcnco or unbelief. 4 i. "Many charged him that ho should hold his peace " As well tell u man who is dowu in ,(ir in the third or fourth story of a burning bunding with no nppareut means of escape) ti hold his peaco; as well tell this man that ho is not blind, aud poor, aud needy, or that Jesus can't stop to attend to beggars. Ho huows better, ho has long realized his sad condition and ho belioves that Jesus of Nazareth, tho Son of David is a do lioverer for just sueii as ho, and there fore they canuof shut him up, but their efforts to do so only mako him cry tho more a great deal that tho felon of David would havo morcy on him. 49. "Jesus stood still nnd commanded him to bo called." Ulesjcd Jesus, hearer of tho cry of tho needy, Thou dost not respect tho rich because of his riches, nor despibo tho poor bceauso of his poverty. Tho poor man's importunity has iirevniled and tho Lord of Heaven nud earth stops. 60. "He, casting away his garment, rose end camo to Jesus." Tho Ilovlced Version says that ho "sprang up;" ho lost no timo, nnd that ho might uot bo hindered, ho casts nsido his outer garniout and quickly cano to Jesus. 61. "What wilt thou that I should do unto thoor' Thoy nra now faco to face, tho helper nnd tho helpless, tho Almighty nnd tho un done, und theso are tho words of Jesus to the beseeching and expentant heart of tho poor blind beggar. It is written tbut Ahnsutrus ald to tho queen, "U'hut wilt thou, Queen Esther? und what Is thy request? it shnll bo even given theo to tho half of the kingdom" (IIth. v, S) ; nnd also that Solomon gavn to tho quttn of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she usked (II Chron. Ix, 13) j but a greater thuu either of thoo kings is hero, even ths tamo who mid to Solomon that night at Oiheon, "Ask what I Minll givo theo." (II Chron. I, 7.) Tho samo who says to us, "If ye abide In Me, mid My words abide in vou, J o shall ask what yo will nud it shall bo douo uati yoa." (John xv, 7.) "TfiJ blind man said unto IHm, Lord, thnt I might reoelvo my sight," Ho did not say I nrn slow of speech, I cannot speak before this multitudo, I cannot find words to tell my m ed, but simply, dellnltely and in few words he U-lb his neod.
