Vandalism at the Capitol.

of the capitol has been the scene of more
or less vandalism within the past few day-t
Lesa than a week ago some one entered
the closets on the basement door and broke
several bowls. and later the barber shop
was robbed of all its portables in the way
of razors and shears, while other articles
were wantonly destroyed. These acts have
been oi but very little consequence in
themselves, but they have created some
apprehension in the minds of the execu-
tive officials of the situate, who fear that
the vandals may next turn their attention
to the valuable pictures and statuary which
are in the building or pricelbly to the ar.
chives on file.

Lesson Ill-A Sabbath In
(Mark i. 21-34) Golden Text. Mark i,
82, “He taught them as one that had au.
thority and not as the scribes; " (in Sab-
bath day and weekday fie leever doing
good. healing bodies and souls and utter-
ly forgetful of Himself. Healing the sick
and preaching the word is His constant
occupation. in all things glorifying God
and honoring that word which is forever
settled in heaven.
LISBON IV.—-A Paralytlc Henlcti (Mark '
ii, 1-12). Golden Text, Mark ii,-lo. “The
Son of man hath power on earth to for-
give sins.” Again lie is preaching the
word, and the service is interrupted by a
sick man being let down through the
roof. Jesus is never upset or put about
by any emergency. lie commends the
faith of the four friends by attending to
the sick man; First Be goestothe root
of the matter and forgives his sins; then
He heals his body also and sends him
away. carryingthcbed which had carried ,
him. There aremnnycaseeoi paralysis
today which would be healed if brought
to Jason The hands and feetandeyes and
voices that He could give life to if allow-
ed iirstto forgive their sine—bring them
all to Him.
Lsss’on V.--Jesus, Lord of the Sabbath
(Mark ii, 23-38, and iii, 1-6). Golden Text,
Mark ii, 28. “The Son of man isLordnllo
of the Sabbath." lie allows His disciples
to pluck and eat corn on the Sabbath day
and in the synagogue heals a withered
hand. The Pharisees are grieved. and lie
would show them that not the more hard
letter of the word is to be observed, but
the real spirit of it. Sacrifices, although
commanded, may, becomean abomination,
for He will have mercy and not sacrifice
(Isa. i, 13. ii; lice. vi, 6). God is ever
seeking man’s happiness and true welfare.
and to that end has seaport 41h; special
day that man may be free to joy God.
Lsssor Vl.--'l'ho Twelve osen (Mark
ill. 0‘19). Golden Test, John xv, )6, “l
have chosen you and ordained you that ye
should go and bring forth fruit. " He will
have men to represent liirn here while lie
is absent. as prophets, priests and kings
represented mm before He came, but with
a diaerent object. After a nightoi prayer
lie calls unto llim some from all His dis-
clplcs. whom He would have, to be with
Him, and whom lic might send forth in
His name to witness unto Him.
Lesson Vii—The Sermon on the Plain
(Luke vi, 203i). Golden Text. Luke vi,
iii, “As ye would that men should do to
you. do you also to them likewise." We
cannot say that these laws and principleu
of the kingdom are very lolly acted out
new, but the kingdom has not come yet.
if, however. we are children of the king—
dom, or perhaps more comedy join theirs
with the king. and therefore already in
the kingdom by faith, We should manifest
these ptinciplee in our lives. We cannot
do it, but Christ in us can.
Lassen Vlil.——0ppoeitlon to Christ
(Mark “I. 22-85). Golden Text, John i,‘
ll, “He came unto llisown. and His own
received Him not." Here we have on the
one hand the hatred and opposition of liia
enemies, who accused Hire of being in
league with the devil, and on the other
Hie wondrous love, promising forgiveness
to even those who talked against Him, if
they would but turn to Him. and assur-
ing them that they might become to Him
as brother and sister.
LESSON lX.—Christ'e Testimony to
John (Luke vii, ill-lib). Golden Text,
Luke vii. ill. “Behold. l send my mec-
aengcr before thy face." The people loi-
lowed John, and many believed and wore
baptised, but the religious rulers were the
great hindcmre. It is even Iii) today. The
people are hungry for the bread of life and
mcelve it eagerly from any vessel that is
clean by the precious blood, but the veil-
gioua leaders actually protest against the
word of God taken In its simplicity and
object to thooe who, like John, seek noth~
ing in: themselves, but live to proclaim
the coming one. liwd not earth's great
ones who go against the book, but let or
study to show ourselves approved unto
God and earnestly covet to be great in
the eight of the Lord (ll Tim. ii. iii;
Luke l. 15).
Lesson X.--Cbrlst Teaching by Pam-
bice (Luke viii, t-lh). Golden Text. Luke
viii. ii, "The seed is the wordof God."
The threads running through this quer-
ter's lessons seem to be, The words Md
works of Christ, the common people glad-
bearlng. the leaders of the pcoplcop—
pcdng and blespheming.
Liston XL—The Twelve Sent Forth
(Hath. s. Md). Golden 'l‘cxt. Math. 1,
7. “As ye go. preach, saying. The king-
dom of heaven is at hand.” The one
thing for the disciple of Christ to give
special heed to is obedience, or, as in ice. i,
in to be “willing and obedient." lie
who sends us forth makes himself respon-
sible for our food and rairnent, so we are
to have no care about that. We have only
togo in ills nameend tell the good news.
ving by our lives that it has indeed
and is good news to us.
