THE S.- 8. LESSON INTERNATIONAL LESSON. AUG. 7. Lesson VI. Jesus on the Way to- Jcrusalcm, Matt. 19. , 2, 13-26. Golden Text, 19. 1-1. Verse 1. When Jesus had finished â€"â€"A common method, with Matthew, of passing from one subject to an: other (Matt. 7. 538; 11. l; 13. 53; .96. 1). - ' He departed from Calicoâ€"mile did not go there again until after the resurrection. ' Borders of Judaea began-l the J( rdanâ€"A New T-estaizicnt design-t- tion for Peraea, by the Jews reck- oned as one of their provinces (the other. two being Judaca and Gali- lee). It consists mostly of an eic- va-ted plateau, about 85 miles north and south and 25 mil as Wide, notoriously cold and yielding little t) cultivation. The population was largely Jewish, as a careful study of this chapter indicates. It- was in Peraea that Jesus was manifest.- ed unto Israel, and thither the S\ ‘ - ' errty were sent on their mission. 2. Great multitudes followed â€" Jesus had gone to this district no deuti for retirement, and for re- cuperation of his forces prepara- tt ry to the final ordeal which was but a few weeks distant. But he could not deny an outlet to his com- passion for the people, and so healed them and continued also to teach (as Mark expressly states and this chapter and the next clearly Show). I 13.

It was a solemn act of dedication. Some have con- jectured that the incident took place indoors (compare Mark 10. 177, and that the little 'children were those of the household, who “were brought to him to say good night and receive his blessing be- fore sent to bed.” But the discip- les would hardly have remonstrat- ed with them in such a case.

If Jesus said, “Why lcallest tho-u me good? None is good save one” (Mark and Luke), it was not because of any consciousâ€" ness of moral lack, no denial of sinlessness, but a testof the man’s conception of goodness; he had giv- . Ithe secret of eternal life; such char- .cu Jesus a title which belonged only to Godâ€"was be ready to stand by it"!

The surprise of the ruler, shown by his Iquestion, “Which ’l” (18). arose, perhaps, from the multiplicity (f commands other than those of Mos- es. It may be expected some new commandment. 18. And Jesus saidâ€"Notice that the commandments given are en- tirely from the second table, of the Decalogue. and deal with love for for Matthew’s addition (verse 19) which is peculiar to him (compare Lev. 19. 18). 20.

Had the Good Teacher nothing more to say to the restless heart of this man than what he already knew, and what had failed to bring peace? 21. If thou wouldest be perfectâ€"â€" lHere. as everywhere, Jesus teach< ents thought it would be an inesti- mable benefit to their children to have him touch them. 14. Jesus saidâ€"According to Mark, he was moved with indigna- ticn at the rebuke. If the kingdom of heaven belonged rightfully to such as these, it was scandalous to forbid their coming into the presâ€" ence of the, King. This and similar tributes on our Lord’s part to the sanctity of childhood constitute the best argument for infant baptism. (For a wise discussion of this diffi- icnlt subject see Curtis, The Chris- tian Faith, page 437, and note the statement: “It (infant baptism) stands for the sacramental accept- ance by the church of the consecra- gained in this way.

However estimable he may be in other respects, there is a fatal flaw full of interest. What follows sug- gests that “Good Teacher” is the manner in which the ruler address- ed Jesus. He went beyond the usrial courtesy, which would dc~ inand only “Teacher,” and signified his lofty regard for Jesus by the ad- dition of this unusual adjective. 17.

A vast number of incorrect noâ€" ticns are acquired by reason of misleading names, but after all is it of any particular importance, so long as we get what we are after? For instance, we go into a store and ask for a Dutch clock. We get a clock, the kind we were after, so it does not really matter that it is not a Dutch clock at all but a Ger- man manufacture. Practically all the wooden clocks called Dutch are made at the village of Frey- burg, in the Black Forest. It is all due to mispr-onunciation: “Deutsch” in German means “German.” Nothing is more natural than to assume that india ink comes from India, but it does not, and never did, any more than did india rub- ber. . The first originated in and comes from China, and should be called Chinese ink, as it is in France, and the latter comes from Central and South America. “Let’s have an old style country dance!” some one exclaims, and immediately there jump into the mind Visions of red checked lasses and stout lads dancing gayly in the barn. The term, however, is simp- ly a corruption of “contra dance,” from the Latin contra, or opposite, and means a dance in which the partners are arranged in opposite lines, and has nothing to do with country. Camel’s hair brushes are not made from the hair of camels but from hairs from the tails of Rusâ€" sian and Siberian squirrels. The hair of camels is, however, used for making fine fabrics, such as shawls, rugs and underclothing, and is sometimes mixed with silk. “Genuine French brier root pipes” are not made from the roots cf brier but from the root of a ,white heath which reaches a con- siderable size and is cultivated in the south of France. for pipemaking purposes. The name is derived from the‘French bruyere, the dialect fcim of which is briere, meaning heath. We have a firmly fixed notion that a centipede has 100 feet, and naturally, but we are misled by the name. Count ’em. There are about thirty feet on the largest size. We remark that such a. one “speaks through his nose,” when as a matter of fact the queer, dis- agreeable tono is produced when the nasal passage is closed. Hold the nostrils and prove it. of“, POLICY 0F PREVENTION. Could do Away With Much Misery in Britain. _â€"..... “Women and the fight against destitution” was the subject dis- cr ssed at a recent sitting of the Wcmen’s Congress at the White City in London. Phthisis, said Mrs. Sydney Webb, accounted for one-sore 1th of the expenditure under the poor law. If phthisia were dealt with in the same way as consumoti :1 one sev- enth of the pauperism of the coun- try might be prevent rd, and much nnsery would be swsz away. Pre- ventive measures could do much Cue-third of the bliidncss of the country could be avoilad if neglect in infancy was guarlrl against. and. the public health and educa- tion authorities on lid do much u.- pievent dcstitution. The policy of prevention could also be applied to the unemployed.
