Brown & Co. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. LESSON 11, SECOND QUARTER, INTER NATIONAL SERIES, APRIL 9. Text of the Lesson, John xi, 32-45.1 Memory Verses, 33-36-Golden Text, John xi, 25-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. [Copyright, 1905, by American Pzess Aocia.ton.j] This is one of the saddest, but ul timately the most glorious, of all the events in the ministry of our Lord. Back of it all stands the glorious truth, 'Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus" (verse 5). And the great truth that "God is love" is at the foundation of and all through the whole purpose of God as revealed in all Scripture (I John Iv, 8, 16). We must ever keep it before us and rest firm ly upon It, remembering always that "as for God, His way is perfect" (P's. xviii, 35). His great desire for us at present is to conform us to His image and use us to make Him known. Hereafter He will share with us all the glory which the Father has given Him (rom. viii, 28, 29; John xvii, 22). As in thp case of the man born blind, so in the lesson story of today all was for the glory of God, that. the Son of God might be glorified thereby (vers6 4 and ix, 3). Notice in verses 11-14 that Jesus calls death a sleep, but it Is al ways the body and never the soul that is said to sleep. Consider the con sciousness of those in Rtev. vi, 9-11, whose bodies had been slain, and see also.Phil. 1, 21, 23, and Luke xvi, 22-24, which is not called a parable. After two days Jesus, knowing that Lazarus was then dead and buried, started for Bethany, and when Martha heard that He was coming she went out to meet Him and greeted Him with the words, "Lord, If Thou hadst been. here my brother had not died" (verse 2.). Just what she meant by verse 22 in view of verse 24 does not seem very clear, though this may have been her thought, "Although I know that my brother shall surely rise again at the last day, God can raise him now 'if Thou wilt ask him." Yet verse 39 -seems against this. Jesus knew her thoughts and just what she meant, and He revealed Himself to her as the res urrection and the life, assuring her that the dead would rise and the living be changed without dying at the ap pointed time (verses 24-26). Her grand testimony, "I believe that Thou art the Christ, the Son of God," must be plac ed beside Peter's in Matt. xvi, 16; John vi, 6-9. Martha returned to the house and secretly conveyed to Mary the mes sage, "The Master Is come, and calleth for thee,'' after which Mary hurried to Him and greeted Him with the very words which Martha had used, but ~there may have been a difference in the way they were said and the thought back of them. We like to see been there (Luke x, 39), but never be fore under similar circumstances, for truly she had not passed this way here tofore (Josh. lii, 4). See others at Jesus' feet in Luke viii, 35, 41; vii, 38. When Jesus saw Mary and her friends weeping He groaned in the spirit and was troubled (verses 33, 38). We, too, groan within ourselves wait Ing for the redemption of the body (Rom. viii, 23: II Cor..v, 2, 4), and the Spirit Himself pleads for ius with grnonings. But this wordin our les son is a wholly different word, and Is only used three times elsewhere (Matt x, 30; Marki, 43; xiv, 5). In the first two it Is translated "straitly charged' and in the last "murmured against." It might indicate His indignation against sin and death, as in dos. xl11, 14, where He says, "0 death, I will be thy plagues; 0 grave, I will be thy de struction--looking onward to the time when the last enemy, death, shall be destroyed. Not only did Jesus groan, but this shortest verse in the whole Bible says, "Jesus wept" (verse 35). When He saw the rebelliousness of Jerusalem and the woe that would surely overtake them He wept over the city.I Coming to the tomb, He orders the1 stone removed, but Martha ob.jects, thinking the case hopeless. Jesus gently rebukes her unbelief 'With the words, "Said I not unto thee that if thou wouldest believe thou shouldest see the glory of God?" (verse 40), re minding us that the great thing is to believe in spite of everything, in spite of sight or feeling or circumstances. "Be not afraid, only believe" (Mafk v, 36). The stone being removed, He talked with His Father In the pres ence of them all, that they might have another strong evidence that the Fa ther sent Him, for He always glori fed 'the Father. Then He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth," and Instantly Lazarus was alive and well and standing at the grave's mouth, but he was still bound hand and foo'. with grave clothes and the napkin was about his face. Some one has said that unless He had mentioned TLnzarais by name all the dead had come forth at the sound of that voice-and by the power of His word (John v, 28, 29). How suggestive the next word, "Loose him and let'hlm go!" Standing at the -grave's month. bound hand and foot, he had life and health, but he could .nether walk. nor act He had life, but not life abun datly (John x, 10), justlike so many| believers today. They have heard His voice and received Him andtlve (John 1, 12; v, 24), but are hinderefby tradi tion and unbelief anddoubts an& fears ad the face of man and~many things which the adversary Is always ready to suggest, but the same word that gave life will give liberty, and in this you may have a part' for those who~ were free set him free. Champion ILiniment for Rheumatism. Chas. Drake, a mail carrier at Chap inville, Conn., says: "Ch.amberlain's Pain Balm is the champion of all lini ments. The past year I was troubled a great deal with rheumatism in my shoulder. After ~trying several cures the storekeeper here recommended this remedy and it completely cured me." There is no use of anyone suffer ing from that painful ailment when,< this liniment can be abtained for a. small sum. One application gives < srompt relief and its continued use for 1 a short time will produce a permanent 1 cure. For sale by The R. B. Loryea Who Was Your Father ? What Sort of Blood?

In China, as in Japan, custom re quires that one who has performed a meritorious service should belittle it, and one who has been selected for hon ors should declare himself unworthy. Who can imagine an American office holder writing such a letter of accept ance as this, which the biographer of Li Hung Chang quotes from Tseng Kwo Fan, appointed viceroy of Nan kin: "Being of no ability and having not withstanding been intrusted with the most important duties, I have, as I tottered along, failed to do anything meritorious. "When some years ago I went to Shangtung I did not succeed in subdu ing the Nienfei, but returned to Nan kin and was ever after ashamed of myself. Last year I was graciously nominated viceroy of Chill, but I made unsuitable appointments, mis managed the army and failed to do any good for the Yellow river. I tremble as I think of my blunders, and in con sequence I am overwhelmed by the gracious order which directs me to re sume rly former important post and thus displays your majesty's confidence in me instead, as would be just, of reprobating me for my worthlessness and dismissing me." As it happened, this was from one of the most honest and best beloved Chinese who ever governed NAnkin and was almost worshiped by the peo ple of the province. THE WET TABLECLOTH. It Puzzled the Ship's Passenger Until It Was Explained. The understeward in setting the ta ble poured a half glass of water on the clean white cloth and placed a dish of fruit on the puddle he had made. He made another puddle and placed on it the carafe. On a third puddle he placed the butter dish, and so on. "Why do you spoil the cloth with all that water?" asked a passenger. "Because the weather's rough, sir," said the steward, and then, making an other puddle, he went on: "We stewards on ocean liners must not be merely good waiters-we must be good wet weather waiters. And we have a number of tricks. "One of our tricks is to set the heavy dishes upon wet spots. If we were to set them on dry spots in the ordinary way they would slide to and fro with every lurch of the ship. But If the cloth is wetted they don't slide. They adhere to the wet place as though glued to it. "One of the first things a steward earns is to set a stormy weather table -to spill water on the cloth at each placewhere a heavy dish is to stand. This water serves its purpose thor oughly, an'd it doesn't look bad, either, for the dish covers it No one knows of the wet spot underneath."-New York Press. Beggars In England. Beggars who feign diseases are no new thing in the streets of London. They existed in Charles II.'s time, only then the beggar was called a "ruffner," a "huff"' or a "shabbaroon." If he was deaf and dumb he was called a "dum merer." The woman who sung hymns and led borrowed children by the hand was called a "clapperdozen." Vagrancy is no new thing, though it practically did not exist in mediaeval times. It was when the cities ceased to be con fined within their own walls and long before the days of policemen that the people got beyond the control of the aldermen and their officers and va grancy became a regular profession. The first English law against beggars was made by Henry VIIL., who gave licenses to beg to the old and impotent and ordered that all other beggars should be whipped and sent back to their parishes. More Than Skcin Tight. Senator J-oe Blackburn, who was quite a dandy in his younger days, once ordered a pair- of trousers from his tailor, and as the fashion then was to wea'r tight nether habilaments he emphatically demanded that this par ticular pair be skin tight. In due time the trousers were sent home and tied on, whereupon the senator sent for the tailor and proceeded to open fire. "What in the blankety blank blank have you done with these trousers?" he demanded. "You told me to make them skin tight, sir," faltered the tailor. "Yes; but, by the great horn spoon, you overdid it," roared the senator. "I can sit down in my skin, but I can't in these trousers." How Chicago Is spened. In sorting over the letters for Chi cago a man in the general Chicago of fce has kept an account of the number. of. different ways the word Chicago is spelled. Recently the record showed 197 different ways. Some ripe scholar in Finland sent a letter .to his brother and spelled the name of the Garden City, Zizzazo. Still another foreigner, possibly with a sinister motive, spelled the word Jagjago. Hipaho, Jajijo, Scheechacho, Hizage and Chachicho are also prime favorites. He Found It. "I meant to have told you of that hole," said the kindly host to his friend, who had suddenly disappeared, in the course of a stroll through the grounds, into a pit full of water. The friend climbed out and shook himself. "It doesn't matter," he said cheerily. "I found it."-London Globe. Proved Himself. "That Hustly seems like a plucky chap." "Guess he is all right.
