SUNDAY BEADING. Oar Lord and Ex Betrayer- BY MIU. KMMA (TKTIS lionets*. Here there are two central characters (! uring out the chief idea of Iniiii.ui life. .1 esus and Judas standing for the praUe of pros- pent y. Prosperity or tan? faction ia the chief aim of every creature that lives. Jiulai tan. is for the idea of gelling prosperity by worluly methods, unipiritnal, prosaic. He praises success. Hi very name mean* praise of success. " ( jet money," he says. " honestly if you can ; but get m >ney. " Jeans stand* tor the idea of prosperity by piritual law, confidence in God, idealistic method*. " There is out one way given under heaven," He lays. His very name means prai*e of success in understanding of the principle of goodness. There comes a tune in the experience of every mind, every organized body, and the planet U<> when the two ideas are face to face, and here you lee the demeanor of each ami the merits of each with the prophesy of each standing boldly out on the canvas of unman life. Giiaphas nieaus depression of spirits, or pessimism. Annas means the common lot of humanity aa sren il.i.ly. Mulchiu means the outward action of Caiaphaa anil Annas, or how t hey act when gi von reign. Anai chy nihilism, communisin are the soldiers of the pessimism that steals over the mind of t mm or planet when it hu beeu conferrring with Judas a* to how to be successful 'n life. As Jesui faced Judas, so the two plans of the planet are met to-day in face-to-fsx-4 issue. (iod is my prosperity, orgolit (the ly inhol of ( iod ) is my prosperity. Which' " My mind to me a kingdom ia." When I settle the question for myself I am either mastered by Jesus or Judss. The planet has us nations, it tribes and peoples, which are iu thoughts. To-day it u called to settle the question of how it shall secure its highest good, or its prosper- ity- There 's a spiritual sphere enfolding and penetrating and permeating the planet. Above all and through all and in all it spirit, lying cloac and filling full u substance to shadow. Every now and then somebody breaks nut of the shadow and speaks from 'the night of the substance. Sir Thomas Browne said : "The severe learning of the schools shall not take from me the idea that everything upon the earth is but the shadow of some sub- stance lying nigli ii." Mil ton said: "What if the earth be but the shadow of heaven and things thereon each like to other in ire than on earth they seem ?" Balthazar the K 'yptian is made to say : "There is a kingdom on the earth, though it is not of it : a kingdom wider than the bound* of the earth, though they were roll- ed together as finest gold and spread by the beating of hammers ; it*) existence is a fact, as our hearts are facts, and we journey through this kingdom from birth to ilci'li without seeing it, nor shall any man see it till he hath known his own soul. " It is told us by those who have shaken off the slumber of the shadow enough to speak plain'y, that to look in to this kingdom is to be frwefromall the, bondages of earthly way s. Thry tell us that we may not, seem to our neighbors and triends to be ditfiTxiit m form or color or speech from themselves, yet that we may have the light of that kingdom in our eyes and the knowledge of that king- dom in the heart so truly that the promise of the Bible may be fulnllml in us, " when thou passest through the waters I will be with thee, and through the riven they shall not overflow. " " U'ben thou passest through the fires they shall not burn thee, neither shall the flamekindleuponthee," "At destruction ami famine thou snail langh. " " Ve shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.'' Those who examine bhe shadows carefully, viz., the material uoiverK, dis- pute the possibility of mich things. They tell us we must not get too ideal iu the face of facts. Their eyes are) fixed st -adily upon the seeming processes, and their hearts are heavy because the long night of sorrow treachery, and dying promises no quick dawning, if indeed there ever ia to be any Chang'-- in nature's performances. A -nung these there is always tome John of the Apocalypse promising that in a far- off future there surely will be "no death, neither sorrow nor crying ; neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things have passed away. " But the sight of the shadows causes Schop- enhauer to declare that there is uo God ouly " a gigantic evil evolving into good. " Heires the night of evil stretch no far ahead that there in only hopcl-Asness iu his heart. What is the matter with Schopenhauer and his followers? They have conferred with Judas. They loved aud longed for prosperity. They had a right to prosperity But they should have conferred with Jexiis. Jesus said. " Seek first the kingdom of Rod, and all these thiugs (riches, and honors, aud health, and love, and gladneas) shall be added unto you." Judan has told them that while they are in the world they most look to the world's ways and meet "it iu its own fashion if they would be successful. After conferring with Judas hear the verdict ol the boldest and most intrepid magazine of our age representing the summ- ing up of the conclusions of centuries : "Europe in cankered and honeycombed with pessimism." ("Caiaphaa was high priest that same year." "It needs no very long stay in Kurope to detect a strange drooping of spirit." Neither I'ope nor churoh, peace societies ii' r alliances can check its course. " "Schopenhauer and Vn H irtmaii, with their black pessimism, lead the continent. '' Nothing in fiction or music is believed in by the world now, they add, except pesai- mism. Optimistic teachings are uot listen- ed to. "Wagner, St. Benuve, CVIyle. Matthew Arnold. Soberer, Tolstoi, anil Kuskiri are under the evangel of bafflement and despair. ' Metaphysics has caught the echo aud assures us ot a great unconscious movement of evil besides the apparent. If yon give Kuskin hi* sleep and his food and his shelter and his police defense* of the best, you cm uot socn.ro him from having hit brain pommeled so that it will show how the invisible action of mind upon mind in deadly appnaitkin eaii manage hut destiny. If the father is unjustly savere in his thought gainst his child it will have brain fever or diphtheria. " We wrestle tot against fksh and blood, but against principalities, ajjaini< t powers aaiut the rulers of dark ness," sajr ( except I gave it unto me. " 1 1 Ihe metaphysician, who lias conferred with Judas. " Be not afraid, I have overcome the world." " Your joy no 11:0.11 taketh from you." " Thou coultlsl have uo power at all, thee." "All power is given am in heaven." " Whore I am ther ye may be also.' 1 This is the con- clusion of those who refuse to confer with Judas as to the best means of Iteingso suc- cessful that even Ihe earth and Ihe. fulness thereof are seen lo be their own birthright. All the forcesot lialHement meet Jesus the teacher of spiritual law to-day. They feel angered against ideality and optimism. And Jesus says, " Whom seek ye?" Tim drill sergeant answers, " The Nauriiie." That is, " that i ;ms fatuous promise of God that has claimed to be something but i* no- thing." " I am he '" The "he" U not in thu (ireek. and all those who stood by under- stood Jesus to speak from the highest Son of Man or Son of (iod the Cod man stand- point I am (iod. "I Am," to them all was the name of Jehovah. Some have con- tended that Jesus did not speak of Himself directly as (iod. They give away their ignorance of (ireek by so saying. Here he meant to show man's idea to be (tod's idea, when man proclaimed his highest. Their idea of man was limited lo their study of the shadow side. " Our days upon the earth are we are " w< trine. The common lot is sorrow. His idea of man was of one wilh dominion over all things, death ami starvation includ- ed.

When He sai-1 that, the sildiors anil offi- cers immediately went backward and fell on their faces. The pessimist always falls back when the Christ faith locks him m the eye.

The claim set forth from time immemorial by tobacco haters, that uo animal would touch the we-d, thuteven the bog felt t *ve it, seems destined to receive a serious set- !>ack. Huge-lie Ruhsell, a farmer living on the Post Bay road near Lake Ontario, is the owner of a mare and cult that are Mremrly fond of tobacco. The mareioroted Hie Italiit long before the birth of the colt, and in the case of the youngster the appetite seems lo have been inherited. Three years ago Mr. Kussell eculed that he would cure the mare of her habit, and to do so he gave her two pounds of liuecut, which she devoured with relish. This not fazing her a bit he trie 1 leaf tobacco, of which he is a producer iu a small way. After slowing awuy a i|iiautity of this she showed symplous of distress. She was dizzy, and wanted to lie down and think over her sins, alwut as a small Ixiy miglithavo wantedtodonudurbiiiMlarcircuni- stances. This settled her, as far as the plain leaf was concerned. She has never Uuttud it since, though fine cut touches the spot the same as ever it did. This was not long previous to th birth of the colt, and the little fellow exnibited almost from the first the " hankering" for a chuw. It was bestowed while he was yet at nurse, and from that day to this both animals will follow any stranger all over the lot who has the smell of tobacco about his clothes. The colt, strange to say, wan not afl'ected by the mother's aversion to natural leaf, but loves that even better than tine cut, and monticules all of either that is forth coming, lioili animals are beauties, and no heallhier are to be found in hone- llesh in these parts.
