There was a noticeabie tone of re- spect in the question which he pres- ently asked. “Flint, how did you come to be bur- rowing into the past, and raking up old dead, forgotten romances?” through the maze of intervening Events, uniting Temple Bonner and Jim O’Neill as surely as if they walked hand in hand. “NOW you are priviieged to associ- “It is entertaining enough for me," agreed Van Vechten. “I trust it will prove profitable.

Much of this is guess- ;work; it is hard to arrive at the truth at this late day; but certain circum- stances exist which indicate that what {I am telling you is what actually hap- \\ _ . “It would appear from the sequel that Max Willard had been the favored one all along. Temple Bonner went “Willard lacked about every ad- vantage possessed by his rival; he was poor, unattractive in appearance, and had many peculiar traits which made enemies where Templer Bonner won friends. He was regarded as a visionary, a crank, a man who would never make his mark. However, he must have possessed some unusual Quality, because Temple Bonner had implicit faith in himâ€"believed that he was a genius of some sort; but it was characteristic of Willard that he would accept no assistance from his more fortunate rival. “It was an irony of Fate,” pursued Mr. Flint, “that Bonner and Willard should not only be friends, but the closest sort of intimacy existed be tween them, a genuine Damon and Pythias attachment. “I’ve heard the name,” muttered Van Nechten. “But with all his wealth and superior position, the course of true love did not run smooth for Temple Bonner. The facts would make a plot for a novel. There was yet another young man among those who came a-courting at the old brownstone mansion, but one vastly different in many respects from Bonner. This man’s name was Willardâ€"Max Willard.” “Hope of rehabilitating the family and of recouping its dwindling for- tunes was now all centered in the re- maining sisterâ€"Henrietta. Among her suitors was one young man who was not only her social equal, but heir to one of the largest fortunes in the world. Every mother in New York with a marriageable daughter, to say nothing of many abroad-especially in Englandâ€"had marked this young man for her legitimate prey; but he loved Henrietta Schuyler and was so de- voted and open in his preference that the matrimonial schemers were one and all discouraged. ' “First, through a series of bad in- vestments, Schuyler lost the bulk of his fortune. A few months previously Josephine had married against her father’s consent, and her husband, Percy Devereaux, showed the sort of specimen he was by promptly desert- ing her when the loss became known. Next, Mrs. Schuyler died suddenly. “Then conditions began to change. One misfortune followed another so that in a remarkably short time the family sank into comparative obscur- ity, and, in the cruel way society has of giving her erstwhile favorites the cold shoulder, speedily forgotten. “It was only an inevitable conse- quence that the two Schuyler sisters carried a long string of suitors in their train, they were social favorites and enjoyed the supremacy which for several years discouraged all idea of matrimony. “In the seventies and early eighties. Compton Schuyler was a prominent figure, a man of aflairs, in the New York commercial world, and as for- tunes went in those days, a wealthy man. Besides, he was of the old Dutch stock; his home was a center of the fashionable life of the city. Two beau- tiful, charming daughters greatly en- hanced this attraction, so that the name was really better known socially, than in a business way. At that period his home was looked upon as a man-. sion, and that young man who stood [n the family’s good graces counted himself fortunate indeed. p, runaway match, with all its at- “I shall sketch briefly as much of the Schuyler-Bonner history as I have learned; then, Mr. Van Vechten, you will see What I want to know.

I can’t say they are like mother and daughterâ€" Josephine’s heart is much too young for thatâ€"chums would be more nearly accurate. Yet Mrs. Devereaux has been a mother to Paige, and the very strongest ties of affection and confi- dence bind them together.” “I am beginning to form a pretty fair idea of your cousin,” observed Mr. Flint. “Her intelligence, courage and independent character make it all the more necessary that Ilearn everything possible about Max Willard.

And as for another love affair, what earthly reason is there for her making a secret of it? She is not a girl given to ro- mantic fancies or school-girl senti- mentality; she is of age, her own mis- tress; and were she to learn, as I have, that it is possible for either of us to care for somebody else in a way different from our present feelings to- ward each other, why, she couldn’t let “Flint,” was the prompt response, “you are not trespassing upon my feel- ings in the least, and I am going to be frank with you.

Mr. Van Vechten, I am going to lay ‘another matter before you,” said in- gravely; “it may seem impertinentiy personal, but there are occasions when the ordinary civilities and amenities must be laid aside and disregarded.

Whether Mr. Flint attached any par- ticular importance to anything in Tom Phinney’s recital, Van Vechten was unable to determine, either from the detective’s fixed expression (or ab- sence of expression), or the few ques- tions he asked when Tom had finished. These interrogations were aimed sole- [y at aiding Tom to remember the mo- torboat’s occupants; but excepting the suppositious servant and the sandy- complexioned manâ€"now identified as John Callisâ€"Tom’s description was exceedingly vague.

If we take the last sentence of chap. ter ii and the first of chapter iii from the revised version we will read: “lie Himself knew what was in man.

See verses 27431 and compare the bean- tiful story in Gen. xxiv. As Abn- ham’s servant talked only of the wealth or the beloved son and carried samples of it, by means of which to obtain the bride, so we are to speak of Him and the servant of Abraham seeking a bride for the only son to whom his father had given all that he had, let us We have only to let Him save us, to see Him dying in our stead, bearing our sins in His own body. and, receiv- ing him, take Him at His word, that by virtue of His great sacrifice all such have everlasting life and can nev- er perish. People are condemned not because of any ordinary sin, for all are sinners. but because they will not receive Him who alone can save them. because they will not look and live (verses 18,19). By receiving Him we honor God as true, but by refusing to receive Him we make God a liar and join hands with the father of lies against God (verse 33; I John V. 10: John viii, 24). Only one who was truly God could speak of Himself as “the Son of Man who is in heaven” while yet He was on earth (verse 13). Note also His words in verse 35, “The Father loveth the Son and hath given all things into His hand.” Compare Matt. xi, 27, and let us, like John the Baptist. bear The new birth is wrought in us by the word of God and the Spirit of God. as our Lord taught in verse 5, the wa- ter signifying the word as in Eph. v. 26. Both James and Peter are in per- fect accord as to the new birth being accomplished by the word of God (I as. i, 18; I Pet. i, 23), and our Lord said that His words were Spirit and Life (John vi, 63). I have often seen John iii, 16, bring about the new birth in a soul just by writing the person's name in the verse instead of the words “the world" and “whosoever,” and as quick- ly as the bitten Israelites looked upon the dead representation of that which had bitten them and lived so have I seen sinners looking upon Jesus made sin for them and obtaining life by a look. He came to save the lwt, the sick the hopeless. and He does it all Himself. Our Lord then took him back to an incident in the wilderness story, with which he must have been familiar (verses 14, 15), and from it taught him how to be born again, and we conclude from chapters vii, 50. 51; xix, 39, that then or later Nicodemus was really born again and became a true disciple of Jesus Christ. we are born twice. have had the birth from above, we shall die but once. and. if alive on earth at His coming. shall 'not die at all (I Cor. xv. 50-52;. While :our Lord often used the word “verily” ?(a translation of amen), only in this ‘gospel is He recorded as using the double verily and just twenty-five times, the first time being in chapter i, 51. and in reference to the coming Ikingdom. We find it in our lesson Echapter in verses 3, 5. 11. and in the first two also in reference to the king- dom. It requires a new birth inwardly and a new body outwardly to enter that kingdom (I Cor. xv, 50), but if we have the first we shall in due time have the second (Phil. iii, 20, 21). Nicodemus, being merely a natural man. although a religious one. could not understand spiritual things, ac- cording to I Cor. ii. 14. therefore his many questions. As a master of Israel (verse 10) he might have known more than he did, but he needed some one in him whom he had never yet received (chapter 1. 12). 'r Lesson V.â€"First Quarter, For 7 Feb. 4, 1917. We may sum up His threefold refer- ence to the new birth, (verses 3, 5. 7) in the emphatic declaration of verse 7. which is a word for every unsaved person, however religious he may be. “You must be born again.” or, as in the margin, “from above." 'It has been truly said that if we are born but once. merely a natural birth. we shall die twice. and the second death will be the lake of fire (Rev. xx, 14, 15), but it Him a lost soul and not being willing that he should perish, He at once spoke to his heart. for He knew what was in him.
