THE GREAT REFUSAL (THE STORY) The young man's approach to Jesus was un-Oriéntal in the ex- treme. He forgot, for the moment, what society expested of one of lis office and wealth. He threw conventions into the = diseard as he ran. What Caesar sald of Brutus might be said of Wm, he "intended strong- ly." He knew Jesus was leaving, not to return. He must be quick to ask bis question, He was not coming for a eure, as others. There was 0 visible sign of any need. Nor was he coming to a confessional. He had no conviction of sin. He simply wanted to be assured of the re- ward of his merit. ie, esus threw a dynamite cartridge on his track in that question "Why callest thou me good?" He had used a meaning-full word without any nieaning, as we say "Good-day!" The Master refused a title from one on whose lips it had no significance. But by that very act He directed the queéstioner's attention to the Infinite Beéiog, who alone in the ultimate analysis is Good, and in the same breath to the standard of perfection which that Being had given. It was a piece of self-deception when the young president of the synagogue affirmed that he had always kept the Decalogue. That revealed the fact that his obedience had only been technical. Hé had never penetrated its depths. Love is the soul of the Decalogué. Love to Him who wrote it, and love to all His creatures. The Master reveals the man to him- self as loveless toward God and his neighbor. In fact, a flagrant violat- or of the first commandment, an ifolizer of his wealth. As with an X- ray He shows the man his need of spiritual surgery, in which his for: tune shall be cut from his heart. Jesus diagnosed the disease with absolute correctness. If it had been some other infirmity, this prescrip- tion would never have been given. 'He went away!" The tragedy of it! Dante sees his shade in Purgatory as of the "One who made the great refusal!" . He was sorry, not because he had come so far short In love toward God and in bénevolence toward bis neighbor, but only because he could not have both eternal life and his great possessions. . Jesus had demonstrated His method-in His surgery of one soul in view of His disciples, becausé they must do the same for multitudes. He looked around to see If (hey undérstnod what had happened. Their crudity was disheartenifig. They also were taint. ed with the Oriental admiration for wedlth, which fs supposed to put peculiar facilities at disposal of its possessor. It is as If they cried, "If the man of wealth can not be saved Who can be?' But they quickly recover from the fear that they will not be saved at all, to a curiosity #8 to what shall be the extent of théir reward. . The patience of Jesus is infinite. He looks down the vista of the yedrs and knows that the crudity of "the Twelve" will wear dway 4s thelr vision widens: He assures thém of an &ge-long hofior; but io fofestall too great confi- dence, He interlards His declaration with those bitter words, "With persecution," and the disquieting suggestion that some first now shall be last in the Great Assize. THE TEACHER'S LANTERN. Rembrandt's "Study in Andtomy" is the greatest portrait-painting in thé world. Eyes of thé attending surgeons dre riveted upon the dem- onstrator ds Ne cuts the human tissabs with gléaming scdlpel. In such manner eyes of tlhe apostles miust have been intent upon Jesus as He did this delfeaté piece of moral viviséction. In all their own future work upon the souls of men it must hive béen thelr guide and inspiration. . + +. The Sage of Concord once said, "The worst thing about money is that it so often costs so much." this to June 21, 1914, This is only true when money pos- sasses, instead of being possessed. When it has us, It also has our pass- kéy to the only door of heaven. It is one of Plutarch's sententious sdy- ings, "Riches do not consist in the possession. but in the use of things." When one has an inordinate passion to be rich, thought still a poor man, he bas all the disadvantages of wealth. He has a heavy handicap in the race for the crown of life. : The test put in this specific ease is not for universal application. If the young man's idol had been something else, Jesus would certainly have bidden him do something élse. This test fitted close to his weak side. . .. As in this in- stances, so always Jesus is severe with the professedly virtuous, but gentle with the consciously deficient. . Judas witnessed Jesus dealings with this covetous soul, and heard His words of wisdom, which fitted his own case so perfectly. But it was in vain. His heart was in- durkted. He was damned already! The absence of even the shadow of policy in Jesus' méthod of founding His kingdom is shown in this instance. Had ho made concessions, hé might have lined his treds- ury that ddy with the fortunes of the young man. ' \ Peter's brash duestion reveals the dbsolutely unconventional relation Which mintained between Jesus and His disciples. It was "Give and take" -- naturalness' vefy self, . Jesus took the young man at his own ap- praisement of himself. He does not O-K it. But even on the hypothesis that it 1s correct he shows what is needed in addition. . Many a high-bred youth of fortune has heard his country's call to battle, and, forgetting wealth and social standing, has taken his place in the ranks beside the volunteer hostler. Great enthusiasm in religion has led to many similar acts of devotion. . v The first step in showing a man his lack of love to God is to show him lacking in love toward his fellow. It has been sald, sententlously, that things .are possessed only by those , who can de without them.

His notion of electric Hght was de- rivaled from seeing a platino-iridium wire made red. by wa known chemist * By 1880 he had managed to carbon fllaments strong enough for this purpose, but they burned up rapidly becduse he could not suffici- ently exclude the air from the glass bulb containing them. By 1878 he was near Success and publicly exhi- bited an incandescent lamp. Edison, whose incandescent elec- tric light inventions were a litle later than Swan's, patented them first, Swan having said: "I don't care whose name comes first, mine or Edison's' The incandescent lamps of to-day are no more than improvements on Swan's early lamps, In photography Swan's place was different. There he was the great improver, his basis being the colli- dion process perfected by Scott Ar- cher in 1851. Swan found photo- graphy represented by that difficult and unpactractive 'process, and left it represented, for. the benefit of millions of untutored and delighted amateurs, by the rapid dry plate. To this he added bromide print- ing paper on which photographs can be printed quickly by artificial light. Then he invented a method of reproducing photographs, which | was the pdarént of the method used in every newspaper office fo-day, and is dut to him that we have the means of making those fine repro- ductions of pictures which have familiarized the public with the works of the great painters as no other way could. Bars and Shops. Toronto Star. Mr. Bowell has said new shop li- censes cannot be issued in the place of bar licenses abolished. Mr. Rowell is in favor of facilitat- ing the abolition of shop licenses by allowing local option to be carried by a simple majority instead of by a three-fifths majority. Again, Mr. Rowell is in favor of al- lowing ied women to vote in lo- eal option contests. You know that five-sixths of the married wo- men would vote to close the shops as wil as the bars. Why not admit it, and face the issue sauarely ?

KEEPING OUT THE FRENCH. Germaiy Places New Restrictions on Alsace-Lorraine Residents. Berlin, June 16--Some time ago the German government decreed that all foreigners resid in Alsace-Lor- aie must receive a permit to do so, which must be renewed every year. Although no diserimination was men- tioned it has taken for a fact that the decree was issued in order that the authorities might keep a better eye on the 40,000 or 50,000 Frenchmen who reside in the Reichsland.
