The .proposed exhibit or Christian work In
connection with the World's Fair has be-
3me the topic of the hour In local religious
' circles. There seems to be a universal Jc
ulre for such an exhibit and In res-panse to
this desire, the Evangelical Alliance of bt.
Jilouls and vicinity look action at Us April
meeting appointing committee of one from
each denomination represented In that body
which should take' the whole question under
"rnjttdvlsement,and report at Its May meeting.

great Interests In whlcn they are mutually

In pushing forward the great Interests

s-houlcl be an exhibit by each religious body

ought to be, In some central hall, every
Sunday afternoon, union religious services,
at which men and women oi national and
international reputation would speak."
DESIRABLE AND
QUITE I-'EASIULE.
V. J. Semelroth, editor of the Sunday
Shdo! & angel and secretary of the
World's Fair Sunday School Association,
eald:
"A pronounced religious feature in con
nection ultli the World's Fair Is botn ery
desirable and altogether feasible. It should
include a -thorougnly comprehensive exhibit
of the progress of religion throughout the
world by maps, statistics, literature and na
tle3." As the Christian nations dnmlnjte
I the world, the Christian religion should
particularly have exhibits other than In
' any aggregate,
t "The plan should Include a nermanent hnll
of the Christ for St. Loul, after Bishop
Vincent's idea, or a permanent exhibit and
forum of Christianity, a temple sufflciiiit
for the largest religious gathering'.
"Special provision should be made for
and Invitations extended to all religious
bodies, to hold their annual meetings here
in 1KB. We should arrange for srlmoU nf
methods in religious work, a Bible study
congress, a church methods congress. Insti
tute of Sunday-school work, exhibit of lit
erature and appliances In Sunday-school
work.
"We should provide for dally preaching
and prayer services within the grounds a
well as about the city."
OPPORTUNITY SHOULD
BE IMPROVED.
Wells II. Hurlbutt, Jr., president of the
St. Louis Christian Endeavor Union, says:
I most certainly lielieve that the pres
ence of the World's Fair here will afford an
opportunity that ought to be improved In the
Interests of Christianity.
"I am not at all sure that what might be
called a material exhibit of religious enter
prises and achievements would be either de
sirable or feasible, and I would emphatically
disapprove of anything approaching the
general character of the Chicago World's
Congress of Religions. Though I have not
had time to ghe the matter careful thought,
I believe that a series of conferences for the
purpose of a better working knowledge of
God's word, accompanied by a campaign of
evangelistic effort, both in large public
hails and open air meetings, under the di
rection of men recognized as the most capa
ble and spiritual In these lines, would be
far more becoming to the cause represented;
and that, by a careful planning of the work
in such a way as -would touch and Influ
ence the greatest number of people, cuch
more real good would be accomplished.''
INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS
OF RELIGIONS SUGGESTED. '
A. B. Ambler, an officer In the Episcopal
Brotherhood of St. Andrew:
"I think the Fair should be by all means
commemorated by the churches as a whole,
and exhibits In a department showing the
progress in St. Louis- and the whole Pur
chase with reference to each and every de
nomination. Furthu-, we ought to have an
International congress of religions, or some
thing similar to the Chicago Congress. But
we should show to the world.our progress
for Christ and his Kingdom as keeping
march with the progress of the business
..world, and -so I say iy all means have some
thing of the kind, and close the'.Exposltlon
on ounaay.
The Reverend Doctor J. W. Bee, Presiding
Elder of the St. Louis district; M. E. Church,
South, emphatically favors a religious exhib
it in connection with the Fair and as to its
character, suggests that It include "a model
church, with all modern furnishings."
OTHER MINISTERS

The Reverend Doctor. J. C. Armitrnnr.
editor of the Central Baptist, also strongly
lsvors tne proposed representation, .He
said:
"It should Include oil auditorium and
other rooms. Second, there should be some

. The Reverend Doctor W. J. McKittrick.
rastor of the First Presbyterian Church,
says he thinks lt'"very advisable" that there
be a religious exhibit In connection with
the World's Fair. As to character, he sug
gests hat it Include "eariy mission work In

dent of the St Louis Sunday-school Union,
nnd the Reverend Doctor R, D. Smart,
president or the Evangelical Alliance, each
gave opinions favoring the project.
FAVORS A RELIGIOUS
EXHIBIT FOR PAIR.
The Reverend M. Burnham. copastor of
Pilgrim Congregational Church, said:
"I think In some way 'the church should
be recognized and honored In connection
wtth.thq World's Fair, by the Evangelical
'Alliance of the city. I think the best! form
of such an exhibit would be what the
churches have done 'In the century, and I
we no reasou wny, in. a gooa way, ll couia
not be shown what has been done In the
last century by the 'Protestant church. I
do not mean In the Way of rivalry or com
parison, but simply an historic exhibit and
special services on the Sabbath."

YOUNG PEOPLE'S SOCIETIES.
Topic: "A JN'ameless Girl Heroine."
(II Kings v, 1-i.)
The various young people's'socletles will
have for their topic to-morrow evening
"A Nameless Girl Heroine," who Is de
scribed in II Kings v, 1-4. The topic is
chosen with special view to a union meet
ing by Junior-and senior societies.
The story Involved is a most Interesting
one, briefly, told, yet possessing all the
characteristics of the true drama. It ap
pears that a certain Jewish maiden waa car
ried captive Into Syria, and was installed
In the household of the CaDtain of the Ax-
mles of the King ot Syria. It also ap
pears wai mis uaptain was a leper, ana
bis condition appealed strongly to this lit
tle Jewess, who was maid to his wife. So
she said to her mistress, "Would God, my
Lord, was with the prophet that Is' In Sa
maria, for be would recover him of his
leprosy." -The
statement waa not lone In reaching
1 the ears of the Captain., and he laid the
matter oeiore tne lung, too King tnere-
fore commanded htm to go at once Into
the land ot Israel, and he would give him
a letter to Israel's King. So the Captain
oi tne Jung s nosi aepanea, ana iook wnn
him as a present to the King of Israel
"ten talents of sliver, and six thousand
pieces of gold, and ten changes of rai
ment. But when the letter was presented, and
the mission made known, the King ot
Israel rent his clothes, and said: "Am I
God to kill and make, silver But when
Eflsha heard of the matter, he sent word
to the King, saying, "Let him come to me,
and he shall know that there Is a prophet
In Israel." But when Naaman, Captain ot
the Syrian host, came Into the presence of
Rush, hs received 'the simple direction:
-Go and wash In Jordan seven times, snd
thy flesh shall come again to thee, and
thou shalt be clean."
But, the very simplicity of tho act made
XMaamsa angry, ana ne ssia: "Are not tns
rivers of Damascus better- than the waters
of Israeli May I not wash in them and be
cleanT"
So he turned away in rage. But one of
his servants said to him. "My father. If
the prophet had bid thee do some great
thine, would thou have aone itT"
At that he chanted bis mind, and did as
the prophet directed, and his flesh came
again as a child. Ashamed of his conduct,
Naaman returns and offers the prophet a
gift, but it -was. refused. Whereupon he
akof the phophet "two mule's burdens
of earth ' as ground upon which he might
offer sacrifice In his own land to the God
ot israei. ,
But GehakL the servant ot Ellaha. coveted
the present that had been offered his mas
ter, so he followed after Naaman and his
company and told an out-and-out lie, and
In return received douhU-tha nortlon ha
asked. Returning to his master's house.-he
prophet said: "The leprosy, therefore, of
Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto
thy seed forever." So Gehazl went out a
leper "as white as snow."
Such Is the story that grew from the act
of the little Jewish heroine, who was a
slave In that Syrian home. What as to
the lessons?
FIIIST There Is the lesson of adaptation
to one's surroundings In life, and the cult!-
vatlon of that spirit which makes the most
of them. Instead of becoming morose and
sullen in 'the land of captivity, this little
maid turned her nttcntlon to the welfare of
those who were her masters. Her heart
was touched with the leprous condition of
her master, and at once ruggested a reme
dy. Her thought was not for self, but for
others. She did not even entertain a spirit
of enmity to those who were enemies of
her own land and nation. This certainly
betokened a nobility of spirit that Is rare,
and which constitutes the basis for a truly
heroic character. Such a spirit will pro
duce that equipoise of mind and soul so
necessary to hcrcic action..
SECOND There Is also the lesson of loy
alty to the God of heaven, even In a strange
land. "Would God, my Lord, was with the
prophet In 8amarla." She held to her faith
In the true God, even though surrounded hv
Idolatrous worship. What a lesson here
for young and old! Too many think thit
when they are In Rome they must do as
Rome does. Having no stability of faith
and character, they are driven hither and
thither, by every wrong Influence that
crosses their pathway. They are easily en
snared by the pitfalls of life. M that It is
a rare thing to find nn unblemished char
acter, even amone thopc who arc still In
the morn of life. The Psalmist's querv and
answer are rtlll pertinent: "Wherewithal
shill a young man cloone his way? Bv
taking heed thereto according to thv word."
It Is this that will give that stability of
character eo necessary to the conquest of
evil. Let us not forget the faith of our
fathers, nor bo ashamed of our father's
God. ,

THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON.
Jesus ABcends Unto Heaven.
(Luke xxiv, 4453.)
(Prepared for The Republic by J. E-. Gilbert. D.
D., Secretary of American Society of Religious
Education,)
ImtrsdoettoB.
CONTEXT We have no certain record of
what transpired after the appearance of
Jesus to the eleven in a mountain of Galilee.
Having there renewed their commission the)
Savior may have purposely withdrawn from
me apostles that they mignt bare urns ana
opportunity to adjust their thoughts to their
world-wide mission. It la probable, how
ever, mat he came to them occasional',
although the evangelists make no mentloa
ot such visits. It la believed that during
those days hs was seen of five hundred
brethren, as mentioned by Paul. (X Cor. acv.
(.) The whole band certainly returned to
Jerusalem, perhaps by appointment with
the Master, a Cor. iv. 7.) Without doubt
the appearance to James occurred after me
arrival in roe sacrea cjiy.
DIVISION The passage set tor our pres
nt studr mav be divided lata two rt
parta. Th first part, verses 44 to 47 in
clusive, relates the instructions delivered
cy jesua 10 us sposiies in Jerusalem hm
last words to mom. deserving on that ac
count, most earefuicciislderatlon. in the
second part, verses BT to a. we have an ac
count of his ascension. For alt mis we are
Indebted to Luke. Mark 'makes only a slight
reference (Chap. art. -a and 30), liable to be
misunderstood. Matthew closes his Gospel
with, the commission aad John, with the
scene at Galilee, But tbe beloved physician,
the companion of Paul. lets me world know
how and where Jesus terminated his earth
ly labors, giving In bis records ef the apos
tles. (Acts i, 412) much information not
contained in his gospel.'

It seercea to oe, ia VI iT i. p
hi- .i.im. Tn doinar this he honored
the sacred writings, mentioning them trade
three beads Moses, rropneis, rsalms.
Thereby he laid the basis of the new dis
pensation. Christianity must be biblical,
not a reform, not a beginning, but an ex
pansion and, a fulfillment. In after years
the apostles went to their countrymen with
this teaching. (Acts xvll. 3 )
INSIGHT Having appealed to scripture,
Jesus sought to prepare the apostles to
study scripture aright. He knew how they,
as well as the whole Jewish nation, bad
stumbled over certain parts. (Matt, xxll, O)
He therefore opened the understandings of
thn nnnatlea. annlvlns: the direct enerzv nt
the Holy Spirit (Psalms cxlx. IS), as after
wards Lydla received help. (Acts xvl, 14.)
This spiritual quickening granted (I Cor.
II, 14), he explained certain passages that
referred to the sutTerins. death and resur
rection, showing that these events were
foretold of the Christ. From that he ad
vanced to unfold the alternate purpose of
Messiah, as religious and not political, and
tried to make .them understand that they
were called to be witnesses;- that they were
to preach among all nations, beginning at
Jerusalem: that the themes of their preach-
ing should be repentance and remission of
sins in his name. This constituted a very
concise statement of the apostolic function
and of the spirit and scope of the gosneL
(Isa. xllx. s: Hos. II. 23.) u
POWER This last Instruction was doubt
less received with misgivings. How could
these npoatlesj begin such a work in Jerusa
lem and continue it to distant cities and
lands? (II Cor. II. 6) -Jesus did not Ions;
leave them In doubt. "Tarry ye in Jerusa
lem until ye be endued with power from on
high." (Verse 49.) He Intended that they
should go. not In their own name and
strength, but by that help which comes
from above. (II Cor. Iv, 7.) Had they beers
attentivo to his former words, they might
have known mat Jesus would build his own
church. (Matt, xvl. 18) Had they duly
considered the lerson of other days, they
would have known that feeble Instruments
In God's hands become mighty (Judges vll.
7); a truth which afterward was learned
and applied with much force. (I Cor. I, 27.)
KINGDOM-It is difficult to say what
lmpresslosn the foregoing made upon tho
minds of the apostles. But one matter, dear
to their hearts and to the hearts of tho
people, the Master had omitted, and tho
reference to power may have brought It up.
And so they Inquired. "Wilt thou at mis
time restore the kingdom to Israel?" (Acts
I. S.) Shall the Roman yok be broken and
the people of God delivered? Shall this be
a preliminary to that preaching? Shall th
promised power be used for governmental,
purposes? How strange the question seems
to us! But the people had not learned to
separate between church and state. Tho
long training of centuries had fixed mo
throne as the foremost object of Interest In
their minds. Jesus was very gentle with
his dull pupils. "It is not for jcu to know
the times," he said. Then quickly he re
turned to their work of preaching. Let pol
itics alone. Walt on jour ministry- (Rom.
Blesses the Apostles.
OLIVET Some think that all the forego
ing was In Jerusalem; others that In whole)
or part It occurred as the company walked)
forth from the city. Be that as It may,
Jesus led the apostles (verse W) out through)
the eastern gate, me same' through whlor
he had passed to Gethsemane, across th
little valley, up to the western slope of tho
Mount of Olivet, probably along the way by
Which the triumnhal nrncesMnn entpreit this
city, and came at last to the brow of the
mil wnere he had wept and lamented. (Luke
xix. 4L) There they caused. Behind them,
was the great city. Before them the little
Village of BethruiirR and hs town nf Ttath-
any, the home of Mar', appeared. That was
me spoi seiectea ror tne closing scene In
the life of Jesus. Thence he purposed to re
turn to his ancient home. (John xx. 17.)
BLESSED Lifting bis hand toward heav
en, an attitude of reverence and divine com
munion, Jesus prayed for the apostles and
worked and promised: aye. and Imparted,
blessings. 8weet precious moment! If, on
the way to Emmaus (Luke xxlr. 32), two ot
them found their hearts burning within
them because of his words If at the moun
tain of transfiguration three rejoiced In his
presence (Matt. xvll. 4); If one at the sound!
of his voice braved the deep to meet him
(John xxl. 7) how must they all have been
Inspired and encouraged when the Master
bore them aloft In his prayer! The gentle
dews of divine grace descended on their
heads snd hearts. A heavenly atmosphere
gathered about them, and they seemed
a while to live In another realm. Alreadv
the promise was being fulfilled. They had
a foretaste of that which would come In tha
day of power: (Acts ll. 2.) .
The AscendlnsrJesa.
I- PARTBD-:That scene pfk blessing grad-

Ing his form became altered and was slow
ly lifted. They saw him rising and remov
ing from them. An unearthly glory was
revealed In him. And they Instinctively fell
down to worship (verse 52) the old concep
tion of his divinity having returned to their
minds. Shortly "a cloud received him out
of their sight," (Acts 1. 9.) For a time, won
dering and bewildered, they look steadfast
ly toward heaven, as If expecting to catch
some further glimpse of his glorious form.
But presently two angels, in the form of
men. appeared and said: "Why stand ye gag
ing up into heaven? This same Jesus which)
Is taken up from you shall so come In Ilka
manner as ye have seen him go." (Acts I.
II). This promise, nor yet fulfilled. 'was In
full harmony with many of the Master'a
words. (John xiv, 3.)
RETURNED A new chapter In apostolla '
history was opened that day. That last
appearance of Jesus, his closing words oC
tender Idve, his departure through the
opened sky. the words of heavenly visit
ors, so full ot comfort, all this tended to
revive their, hearts and' make them feel
that the cause in which they were enlisted
was not lost. They returned to Jerusalem,
found the upper room made sacred bj
blessed associations, and there engaged In
prayer. (Acts 1. 13.) They determined to
wait until the Master's promised power waa
bestowed. They were in no danger of turn
ing again to secular pursuits. (John xxL g.)
The new-found faith and hops bound then
together In a compact and loyal brother
hood. Sometimes they 'went 'forth into tha
temple, but returned to their upper-room
sanctuary. And. always with, glad hearts
they were "praising and blessing God.'
(Verse O.) The foundations of me New Tea.
tament Churoh were securely laid. (Eph.
li, 20.) Nothing more Is needed but power,
" Coaelaaltna.
SPECIAL-How slow were the follower
of Jesus to understand him and his cause!
How unlikely mat such men could after
ward propagate 'fables, construct a fictitious
character and then proclaim him to tha
WQriA' 501 reluctantly they yielded to tha
truth! How stupidly and tenaciously they
held to. nreconcelved nnlnlnns! Hn tha
person of Jesus rose Immeasurably above
all his associates, sublime In its matchieea
beauty. In its complete unity. In Its unique
consistency! Surely,, these gospels are truth-'
ful representations of him.
GENERAL "Between us and his visible
presence that cloud still rolls. But tbe eye
of faith can pierce It and behold Aba glort-
Red redeemer who now sitteth at me rlgjtt.
and of God. The incense of prayer can
rise above It-through It bis blessing1 can
descend. And If he is- gone away, yet ha
has given In his holy spirit a nearer sens
of his 'presence, a closer infolding in tha
arms of his tenderness, than we could
have enjoyed even If we. had lived with
him ot old. Wo may be as near to him at
all times as tbe beloved disciple was when
ha laid his head upon his breast," ,
