10 This lesson. like the last, refers totlie
laycn which He rose from the dead. He
appeared first to Mary Magdalene: than to‘
the other women; next. probably. to these
two; afterward to Peter;_acdin_ the even.
lngto tonic theupper room in Jerusalem
with others who were with them.
14. Asshey walked they talked. and Jesus
was the topic of their conversation, but it-
was not a risen Christ they talked of. The
one whom they had loved and followed as
the Mtsaiah of Israel was dead. and they
knew not what to think.
.15. As they communed and reasoned Be
of whom they spake joined them and walk-
ed with them. It is still true that He takes
a special interest in all who speak of Him
(Mal. iii, 16. 17). If we knew Him better,
we would be always talking of Him. How
careful we would be of our words if we be-
lieved that we should have to give account
of every idle word (Math. xii, 80).
10. He is often with us, and we do' not
know it. He has said, “Lo, I am with you
all the days” (Math. xxviii. 20, R. V. mars
gin). He often seeks to get our attention
that He may speak to us or show us some-
what, but. unlike Moses and John, we are
too'busy to turn aside to see the burning
bush or hear the voice that speaks. '
If. He is grieved when we are sad and
would have us tell Him all our own trou-
bles. He desires to fill us with joy and
peace. See the way in Rom. xv. 18. He
overhears‘levery conversation and reads all
our thoughts (Pa. cxxxix. 1—4; Ezek. xi, 5.
18. They do not recognise Him and think
He must surely be a stranger in the city if
He does not know what had taken place
during the last two days. Mary took Him
for the gardener. They think Him a stran-
ger. His enemies counted him aglutton
and a winebibber. How unknown and
misunderstood He consented to bel
19. He knew, but He would have them
tell Him. He likesto have us tellHim‘all.
a's His disciples did when they had been out
teaching (Mark vi. 30). They had evidently
been talking of the mighty deeds and words
of Jesus of Nazareth, and now God had ap-
proved him. and the people had received
Him and looked upon Him asthe long prom-
ised Delivcror.
20, 2f. But the strangest thing was that
the chief priests and rulers had crucified
Him. and now He was dead and' had been
for three days, and the redemption of Israel
which they had expected He would accom-
plish was now as unlikely and as far of! as
it ever had been. They evidently had their
heart upon the redemption rather than the
Redeemer and upon their thoughts rather
than His Words.
2. 23. They had heard the report of the
women who had been at the torn b, and that
angels had said that He was alive. but they
did not quite receive it—at least they could
not understand it~and it was all a great
mystery to them? They were in great per-
plexity.
2-1. Some had even gone to the tomb to
see if the story of the women was correct
and had found itasthe women said, but
then they had not seen Him. and if He was
alive where was He. and why had He not
come to them! So they did put know what
to think. v
25. Now He speaks to them and shows
them their error. if they had only believed
the. prophets—that is. all that they had
said, they would have understood every-
thing and would have saved themselves
from all this unnecessary darkness. But,
not believing, they had acted as foolish
persons. Consider some other fools in 1’s.
xiv, 1; Prov. xiv, 9; 1 Sam. xxvi, 21; Luke
xii. 30; I Cor. xv, 35. 36.
26. The prophets had in their own per-
sonal history as well as in their writings
plainly foretold that the Messiah of Israel
would stiller and die and rise again. All is
clearly written in Isa. liii, and his death is
stated also in Don. Unto. "hiessiah shall
be cut off. but not for himself." or, as in
the margin. “Shall have nothing.”
2?. He went back to Moses. without say-
ing one word about the supposed mistakes
of Moses or that higses did not write this
or that. He tool-‘1.) up portions in all the
Scriptures and made no reference to two
Isaiahs or any such wonderful knowledge
as many wise (l) men seem to have today.
And doubtless from the coats of skins of
Gen. iii. 21, down to the fountain and shop-
herd of chh. xiii. 1. 7. He taught. how His
sufferings had been foretold. All our Sun-
day school scholars should be made to un-
derstand that when a teacher or a preacher
makes light of any portion of Scripture.
such as the story of Jonah, or seems to be
wiser than our Lord. that such people are
no followers of Christ and must not be lis—
dii toned to.
28. Having arrived at their destination.
He made as though He would have gone
further. for He will not intrude Himself
upon any. If we prefer not to have Ills
company. we need not fear that He will
game where He is not wanted. His word
is “Ye shall seek me a 9 find me when ye
shall search for me '«ith all your heart"
25 (Jet. xxix.13).
20. It isnot difficult to constrain the Lord
or his angels to abide if we really mean it.
See Gen. xviil. 5; xix, 8; J udg. vi, 18. (Jon-
trast the Lord’s "abide" in John xv. 4, 7;
John ii. 28. and see I Sam. xxii, 28. Think

want Him always with you, or do you get

80. What He did in that house He has
been ever doing; giving us His broken body,
saying. “I am the bread of life.” “He that
eateth Me, even he shall live by Me.”
Therefore make his your daily food and
life and all, and so live till Icome again.
While He breaks to us the bread we shall
surely have enough and of the best. and be
“satisfied with favor and full with the
blessing of the Lord" (Dent. xxxili, 23).

NEW YORK. June d—Miss Mary from

Hoyt. the millionaire steamboat owner.
has brought an action in the supreme
court through her counsel, Frank J. pu-
pignac, to recover 5100.000 damages from
Mrs. Hetty Green, the wealthy daughter
of the late Edward Mott Robinson, for ni-
leged slanderous statements made con-
cerning her on May l0 last at the‘ office
of Henry H. Anderson. 35 Wall street.
The statements complained of were
made during the progress of the reference
that has been pending for several years
brought by Henry A. hurling as the sur-
viving executor of the will of Mr. Robin-
son for the purpose of having asettlo-
ment of his accounts. Mrs. Green is con-
testing the accounts of the executor, and
at most of the hearings she has made
statements incidental to the proceedings
which have been published from time to
time.
At the hearing in question before the
referee it is charged that Mrs. Green, in
the hearing and presence of a number of
