Eternal life--The Jews used this to mean the blessings of the essianic kingdom. 18. And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good I--Doubt- less Jesus thought the man's ideas of goodness superficial, and he Nagel stimulate him to deeper None is good save bne, even God --If is difficult to know just what Christ meant by these words.

Would he have had cause to regret' the sacrifice of his riches? -~ 23. How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the king- dom of God!--Wealth can. give many advantages. To 'those who possess it in large measure it must be very easy to depend upon it en- y | tirely for what one needs and de- sires, and gradually - to trust in id | riches rather than in God. A man of large wealth is likely to become exclusive in his associations, tn- {sympathetic with his. less fortunate teach: , brothers, and to 'lose 'the com- mon tow The life of such a man would have little room for the qualities of humility, teachableness, and open-mindedness such as Jesus saw in the children whom he bless- ed and commended to his disciples as essential qualifications for en- trance into 'his kingdom. 25. Oriental teachers frequently used such extreme parfdoxical comparisons. Jesus meant to ex- press in the strongest form the im- possibility of having wealth or po- sition accepted as qualifications for the Kingdom, and the difficulty rich men have in entering it. 26. They were astonished exceed- ingly--The disciples, like all Jews, had regarded rich men as favored of God. Those who were looking forward to the setting up of a tem- poral kingdom expected that pro- sperity would abound with righte- ousness. . Hence their question, "Then who can be saved?' 27. All things are possible with God--He has command of all forces and his Spirit influences in ways thich we cannot. understand. 28. We, that is, the disciples, have left all, and have followed {hee--No doubt they were contrast- ing their action with that, of the rich young man who r to-give aD od Jesus. Matthew adds that the 2 disciples asked; ""What then shall we have?' 20, 20--The relationships of the Kingdom will take the place of the relatives or possessions which it {had been necessary for the disciples to leave when they entered the ser- vige of Christ. 'And the promises that spiritual possessions will com- pengate a hundredfold for the loss of those temporal. ! 31. Many that are first shall " be last--The «disciples: were Christ's nearest earthly friends, and among the first to believe on him.

Sir A. Conan Doyle's Suggdstion for New Kind of Vessel. Boats have again and again proved their comparative inutility in the case of great sea di 8, They 'are difficult to lower with celerity, are easily stove in against the sides of the vessel when lower- ed, cannot live in a heavy sea, and are usually ihadequate to hold the number. of persons seeking their refuge. Bir Arthur Conan Doyle's sugges- tion, made shortly after the Titanic disaster, seems to offer the most reasonable suggestion yet put for- ward for saving the life of passen- gers at sea. Though pooh-poohed by many it found several adherents among eminent engineers, Briefly the idea was that the whole of the upper works of the shiip, including upper deck, boat deck and hurri- cane deck should fit loosely into the bull: of the vessel, in the same way that a tray fits into a trunk. This upper part of the vessel 'would be furnished with numerous air cham- bers, and if the main hull of the vessel were to sink would remain on the surface as am independent unit fully capable of holding the entire ship's complement of passen gers and crew. Carrying the idea further, this upper portion could be furnished with a small auxiliary engine sufficiently powerful to pro- pell the vessel either to the nearest port or into the main shipping tracks. That such a device would 'LIFEBOATS ® nobut lcamic origin, but e results _moon's being | 3! i r new o the effeot that, the barth ihe efit: that the ta; that large aber of bo Fgh a yourself IY | than great riches--if you hve bofh. | self ce even have saved a vast mumber of pre- cious lives. if fitted to the Empress of Ireland is undoubted. It is seldom that the upper works of a vessel are materially injured in a collision, and even if the collision were to cause jamming between this upper portion and the main hull, yet the terrific pull of the sink- ing hull and the contra. pull of the floating -upperworks would proba- bly free the two at the actual mo- ment of sinking.

An inquiry is being conducted . Liverpool to determine the definition a gentleman as contemplated by tl workingmen's insurance act. ; According to the reading of the act any one who earns more than $800 year Hd and 'does ng manual labor is a gen- tleman. This 'definition, simple enough on its face, has caused dispute in P= ping circles, and the Liverpool Steam- ship Owners' association is trying to solve the question by the esent 'in- quiry, but it is likely that whatever the edision an appeal will be carried to the chancellor of the exchequer. A prominent labor union official, des clares that the definition creates unde- sirable class distinctions in the merean- tile .marine. Under the existing ruling on big ships the captain, mate, second officer, and every one in the engineer- ing room down to.the.sixth assistant are gentlemen under the act, but the line. must be drawn at the seventh. ens gineer. . . ' The steamship owners are. olaiming that the amount of food and lodging al- lotted to their officers must count in determining their status under the act. On smaller ships the guestion {s more acute, for only manual workers are re- celving benefits, 80 no: matter how low their stipend the officers, who do not work with their hands, do not profit 'hy the act. Therefore the Gilbertian situ- ation is created that if a man, though a manual worker, should by promotion get another man to do his manual labor, he at once becomes a gentleman. Henroost Sells for $378. An auction sale held at the Rectory Hooton Roberts, = near Rotherham, re- cently the collection of the late rector was dispersed. Some of the pieces had curious histories, One day when visiting 'a. friend rector came upon an old cupboard stand- ing in the farmyard, where it had been used for some years as a henroost. He bought it for $26, had it cleaned scraped and found himself possessed of a fifteenth century lMvery cupboard. This os bought by Harl Fitzwilliam for Among other interesting pleces were an early Jacobean refectory table, which had been rescued by the rector from a barn and for which $1,366 was paid, and an oak court cupboard dated 1614, which went for $290.

A bill to enable the police authorities to enroll women constables is to.be in- troduced in the house of commons Lord Henry. Cavendish Bentinck, Unionh- ist member for South Nottingha shire. The officials «of Scétland Yard have declared themselves as opposed to the measure. A 'spokesman : said bluntly: 'We are against the suggestion, We em« ploy special women for special purposes such as vigilance work, and in all cases intimately connected with women or young girls, to a far greater extent than the publi¢ realizes, Moreover, In all our police stailons women are" em- ployed to look after female prisoners and whenever there is a female prison- er a woman is constantly on the 'pte- mises. "Then, again, we work in close touch and sympathy with the many excellent societies that employ women detectives and watchers, and we htep in 'with our: constables on a hint from them.
