He was chloro- formed, and two assistants had placed everything ready for use by the doctor whea the latter, much to their surprise, began to make irrelevaat remarks.

Les.son IL The life Ezek. 47, 1-12. Tc.\t, Her. â- giving stream, Golden 22. 17. Chapter 47. â€" This chapter be- longs to the third and last great section of the latter lialf of the b>jok â€" chapters 40-13â€" which set forth a vision of the final glory and peace of the redeemed people of Israel. The preceding chapters of the section give an account of the temple buildings, and of the ordin- ances of the temple. The two clos- ing chapters, including the lesson, deal with the life-giving stream is- suing from the temple, the boun- daries of the holy land, and the dis- position of the tribes. Verse 1. Brought mo back â€" He had been in the outer court of the house of the Lord. There the peo- ple were accustomed to worship. Now he is conducted into the tem- ple proper again. Ezekiel, belong- ing to the priestly class, was mi- nutely familiar with everything that pertained to the temple, as an ex- amination of previous ciiapters will quickly show. It must be borne in mind, of course, that he is still in the land of captivity. What he de- scribes is part of a vision. Waters issued outâ€" This figure evidently had its basis in the fact that there e.xjsted a fountain, in connection with the temple hill, j from which the waters flowed into | the valley east of the city and so \ mad© their way toward the sea. This stream had, before Ezekiel's time, supplied a beautiful figure to i the prophets (compare Isa. 8. 6). The Orientals enlarged upon the blessings brouglit them by such streams of water. This passage was the basis of Rev. "^1 1-2 Right side of the iiouse â€" This would be the south. The stream pursued its course eastward, pass- ing the altar on the south side, and coming forth into the open on the right hand of the outer east gate. i. He brought me out â€" As both the inner and outer east gat-cs were closed (Ezek. 44 and -16), the pro- phet was led from the inner court by way of the north gate, round to the outer east moving life, there shall be a mul- titude of fish. Where the life of God comes to abound there can abide no death. 10. Engedi â€" The modern Ain Jidy ("kid's well"), situated on the west shore of the Dead Sea, aboat half way farther on to the north, in all probability, although it ha.s not been actually identified, Lay En- eglaim. The great sea is the Medi- terranean. 11. The miry places â€" These are the marshes about the Dead Sea. They are to be left as salt beds. The saltness of the sea is due to the strata of salt rocks surround- ing it. \1. Whose leaf shall not wither. â€" Compare Psalm 1, and Rev. 22. 2. The leaf is a thing of the spring- time. But, with the godly man, it has a perennial freshness. The storms and frosts of the year can- not blight it, for it draws stores of hope and promise eternal'j' from God. Moreov"-, it is for iiealing. The sympathy of the godly man is a potion of healing for the wounds and sorrows of the world. Neither shall the fruit thereof fail.â€" There i.s a seasonable fruit- fulness, as well as an undying fresh- ness about the good man's life. The end of the good man's life, its purpose, is fruit. The freshness and beauty are a form full of pro- mise. But the tree, must ever reach forth to the bearing of fruit, as it will always under the enrichment of the divine life. -*- ANCIENT COINS. Jar Full of Gold and Hronze Ro- man Money Discovered. A find of gold coins was made by two workmen at the Roman ex- cavations at Corstopitum, the old Roni-'.n city near Corbridge, North- umberland, England. This season the excavations have been conducted in a new field t.j the west of the excavations made in former years. The coins were in a small bronze jar, and as Mr. Fost- er, the director of the works, was not present at the time, the foreman took charge of the coins. When an examination was made it was found that there waa 16U gold and two bronze coins in a very good state of preservation. They ranged from the period of Nero to that of Mar- cus Aurolius. The largest number were of the Emperor Trajan, 51 in number. . , , , The ancient coins found at Black- ,, , . , , g'^t'^' ^\lj"e, from|ij-ii Corsock, Kirkcubrightshire, the outside, he saw the stream ^^^^ j-,„^ ^ ,^^^.^ ,^^^^ ^^j^^^j^,^,^ emerge into the open at the south ^^ ^n expert on behalf of the crown.
