Jesus answered--Replied to the angered Pharisees when they sought to lay hold on him because of his 'alluding to them as the wick- ed husbandmen (see preceding les- son). His reply is couched in the words of another parable even more pointed and direct than the one which so greatly offended them. 2. A marriage feast--In accord- ance with Oriental custom, the fes- : 'tivities connected with the wedding 1d last for days; Judges 14. the number as seven. .

Them that were bidden--The com- pany to whom invitations had al- | ready been gent.

The partings of the highways --Very likely the places where the roads from the country came to- gether to enter the city gates. As many as ye shall find, bid-- The" Talmud says that is was cus- tomary among rich men to invite poor travelers to feasts, so that this parable would not seem strange to Jesus's hearers. Being interpre- ted, it of course means that the gos- pel invitation was to be 'extended to all peoples. This was done by Paul and others before the destruc- tion of Jerusalem, and after that event its proclamation and accept- ation among the #Gentiles bzcame general, : 10. Both 'bad and good--As in the parables of the net and of the wheat #hd the tares; this implies that bad as well as good will re- spond to the invitation, and may be found together in the church of Christ. It may also mean that ad- mission into the church is not to be denied to any except known evil doers." If the heart of a bad man responds to the gospel invitation, should, not the church receive him and endeavor by means of sympath- etic training to help him correct his faults, put away his sins, and lead a new life! § 11.

And he was speechless -- Be- cause consciously out of place. 13. Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer 'dark- ness--To our democratic views this punishment seems out of' propor- tion to the offense, but not so to the hearers of Jesus, who knew how seriously matters of etiquette are viewed at Oriental courts, There shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth--A common phrase descriptive of the misery of one turned out into outer dark- ness. One commentator mentions that the suggestion may have come from the howling and snapping of teeth of hungry wolves, heard by a lonely traveler in the darkness. The expression is used five times jn Matthew and once in Luke. 14, Many are called, but few chosen--This was especially true in our Lord's time. His message was for the "lost sheep of the house of Tsrael,"' and of the multi- tudes who followed him and heard his message only a few were chos- en.

EE LIVERPOOL'S GREATNESS. Always Reigned Supreme in the Shipping Service. No account of Liverpool's mari- time greatness would be complete without a passing reference to the vastness and variety of her oversea traffic. A myriad vessels of every type and size ply between it and the other great ports of the world, Here it is that the argosies of na- tions meet, richly laden with the products of the globe--East India merchantmen, whose fleecy cargoes of finest wool from far Bombay and Calcutta are soon to be turned in- to cloth in the textile mills of York- shire, and whose dusty cargoes of Karachi wheat are destined to be ground into flour in the numerous corn mills of the port ; steamers and sailors laden with similar commodi- ties, and with. frozen meat from the River Plate and the far-flung porta of the Antipodes; schooners of the huge four-masted type bringing ni- trate of soda from the Chilian ports of South America, and others whose freight consists of grain from the Pacific slopes of North America; large steamships laden with mons- ter packages of provisions, tobacco, timber, leather, and other products from Canada and the United States, and with bales of raw cot- ton from. the great Gulf ports of the Southern States; vessels with silks and cereals from China and Japan, rice and timber from Ran- goon, sugar from Java, Germany, and Cuba, barley and other grain from the Black Sea, fruits from the Mediterranean, . brandy and li querurs from Bordeaux and Char ente, rubber from the Brazils, palm-oil and palm-nut kernels from the West Coast of Africa, and cop- per and silver ores from Callao and other Peruvian ports; tank-steam- ers, specially constructed for carry- ing oil in bulk, bring thousands of gallons of that useful lubricant from American and Russian terri- tories; tramp steamers that have sailed uncharted seas, with nondes- cript cargoes from wherever they can find a freight; fishingtrawlers .} with' their finny freights from neigh- boring waters and Icelandic seas; and last, but by no means least, the great.
