Lesson Text: “The Temple Be-
paired,” 2 Chronicles, xxiv., 4-
14—Golden Text: 2 Cor. ix.,
7—Commentary.
. 4. __“And it came to pass after this that
:Joash was minded to repair the house of the
FLor .” We now go backward in the history
:to a period about a hundred years earlier
than the last lesson. Joash was the seventh
king of the two tribes. and began to reign
about a hundred years after the death of
Solomon. Only seven ysars old when he be-
an to reign, he reigned forty years I vs. 1).
Duly four kings reigned longer than be-
three in Judah and one in Israel. J cash was
one of the eight kings of Judah of whom it is
written that “he did right in the sight of the
'Lord." But it is written that he did right
through the instruction of J ehoiada, the
priest (II Kings xii, 2). _
The temple was first plundered 1n the fifth
year of Rehoboam, about thirty-four years
after it was dedicated (II Chron. xii., 2, 9);
This is suggestive of the death of Christ (the
true Temple) in His thirty—fourth year.
During the reigns of Abija, Jehoram and
Ahaziah the temple was much neglected ‘and
during the six years immediately preceding
the reign of J oash, while the wicked queen
Athaliah reigned (chap. xxii., 2, 3, 12), wick-
edness must have prevailed exceedingly. The
.house or temple of the Lord was th: center
of the nation’s life, and their treatment of it,
or rather of Him who manifested His pres-
ence in it, indicated the health of the nation
or otherwise. The purpose of Joash to re-
pair or renew the house points to bless-
ing about to come on the people.
5. “And he gathered together the priests
and the Levites.” The whole tribe of Levi
was set apart by God for the special service
of the sanctuary (Num. iii., 5-8). Of this
tribe Aaron and his descendants were to be
the priests, while all the rest of the tribe
was given to him for special service (Num.
iii., 9 10). .
“Gib out into the cities of Judah, and
gather of all Israel money to repair the
house of your God from year to year, and
see that ye hasten the matter. ” This would
have been a sort of compulsory taxation for
the house of God, and was contrary to the
principle laid down in Ex. 'xxv., 2_--“Of
every man that giveth it willingly With his
heart ye shall take My offering.”
6. -“And the king called for J ehorada,
the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou
not required of the Levites to bring in out of
Judah and J erusalem the collection?” The
priest and the Levites probably under-
stood their business better than the
king did. It was not in their commission to
go out collecting money, but it was com-
manded that the people should bring in their
offerings according to their ability (Dent.
xvi., 16, 17; Mai. iii., 10). It is a poor state
of affairs when a worker of God has to go
around collecting his salary, or when money
for the Lord’s work has to be wrung from
unwilling hearts.
7. “For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked
woman, had broken up the house of God.”
This was the woman who counseled her son
Ahaziah (the last king) to do wickedly, and
who, after his death, reigned six years (chap.
xxii., 2, 3, 12). See her miserable end in
chap. xxiii.. 15. .
“And also all the dedicated things of the
house of the Lord didzthey bestow upon Baa-
lim.” If we are children of God by faith in
Christ Jesus, then we are no longer our own,
but bought with a price (the blood of Christ)
that we may glorify God (I Cor. vi., 19, 20).
8. “And at the king’s commandment they
made a chest, and set it without at the gate
of the house of the Lord.” There was a hole
in the lid of the chest, and it was set beside
the altar on the right side as one cometh in to
the house of the Lord (11 Kings, xii, 9).
Things are looking better now; this is more
like God’s way, and there will surely be a
blessing.
9. “ And they made a proclamation
through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring into
the Lord the collection that Moses, the serv-
ant of God, laid upon Israel in the wilder~
ness.” This is more fully stated in II Kings,
xii., 4, 5, and carries us back to En, xxx,
11-16, where all who were numbered were to
ive a half shekel as an offering unto the
0rd to make an atonement for their souls,
the rich not giving more and the poor not
giving less than half a shekel. This silver.
like the sacrmce, was a symDOi ot atone-
ment.
10. "And all the princes and all the peo-
ple rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into
the chest until they had made an end.” This
pleased the Lord, for “God loveth a cheerful
giver.” and “if there be first a willing mind,
it is accepted according to that a man hath,
Sand not according to that he hath not (If
)Cor. ix., 7; viii, 12).
: 11. “Thus they did, day by day. and gath-
‘ered money in abundance.” As the chest
was filled it was emptied, counted, put up in
bags and set in its place again (If Kings,
xii., 10)
1 12. “And the king and Jehoiada gave it
:‘to such as did the work of the service of the
thouse of the Lord.” And they laid it out to
)the carpenters and builders, and to masons
land hewers of stone, and to buy timber and
fheWed stone to repair the breaches of the
:house of the Lord (II Kings xii., 11, 12.)
iThey did not, like many nowadays, get the
work done first and then look for the money
to pay for it, but they first saw the where-
withal on hand and then went forward with
lthe work.
13. “So the ivorkmen wrought, and the
tierk was perfected.” King, priest, peOpIe
nd work-non, all laborers together. So
now every preacner, teacher, missionary,
evangelist, or the humblest scholar who
gives a penny to help send the gospel to
others, are all laborers together in building
up the great temple, the church or body of
Chris which shall in due time be perfected
(Eph 1., 19-532; 1 Cor. iii
“And they set the hon v. )f God in His
state and strengthened it.‘ In the margin
of the R. V. “His state” is “according to
the proportion thereof.” The Spirit had
given David the plans for the temple (1
Chron. xxviii., 12—19), and they now re-
paired it according to the design of the
oirit.
14. "And when they had finished it they
brought the rest of the money before the
king and Jehoiada.” Why did they not use
W all the money, or put in a bill for extras?
hat feels they would be in the eyes of
many to-day! How easy to say that the
work cost more than they expected! But
see their faithfulness. The surplus was
made into vessels of gold and silver for the
house of the Lord. Let the surplus o:
wealthy Christians be devoted to sending
forth vessels of mercy to the unsaved, and
what joy such faithfulness would bring
forth in heaven and on earth!
“They offered burnt offerings in the house
of the Lord continually all the days of
J ehoiada.” This good priest lived to the ex-
traordinary age of 130 years, but when he
died there was a sad change in Judah, both
on the part of the king and the people. See
the rest of this chapter, and notice the idola-
try, and the-murder of the priest Zechariah,
the son of Jehoiada, and also the murder of
of Jpash, the king. How sad a termination
to a‘reign that began so well! We are
Christ’s disciples, indeed, onlyif we continue
in His word (John x., 27—20) . If on the other
hand, we are only good because an older and
wiser friend is controlling us then when we
lose that friend we shall be apt to fall. Let
us hide in Jesus, Rock of A es, our Great
High Priest, lean only on im, trust Him
fully, and all will be well.-Lesson Helper.

COURTESY lN CHURCH.
[s Politeness lusmantl Inborn, or a
' lllere Convention?
As the sweet, sacred music floated
above the heads of the congregation and
welled and reverberated among the
fluted pillars that upheld the grained
roof of the cathedral, a great light
seemed to fall upon the soul of the re-
porter, who was comfortably seated in a
well appointed pew. He looked about
him and observed that many women
were standing here and there. Fora
moment he forgot that he was in a
church. A faint suggestion of the car
—-surface or elevated—flashed across
his mind, and, acting as though he were
in one, he arose and offered his seat to,
the nearest lady. \Vith a surprised
smile she thanked him, whereupon it
occurred to him that he had done a very
unusual thing. As a matter of fact his
thought was true.
As he stood in the aisle he saw about
him many ladies standing and many
men seated. For the first time he real-
ized that he had often seen the same
thing before and it had never occurred
to him that there was any thing out of
the way about it—in church. He, who
never allowed a woman to stand in a
car when he had a seat to offer her, had
frequently done so in church and
thought nothing about the matter.
The reporter, as he stood uncon-
sciously listening to the swelling pools
of the organ, preached a little sermon
to himself. What, thought he, is this
thing we dub politeness? Does it come
from the heart, 01' is it merely imitative
and conventional? Are we polite be-
cause we are taught to be so, or is it an
instinct of civilized man to be gentle
and courteous and unselfish? Every
day he saw men raise their hats to we-
men in the streets or offer them their
seats in the cars. Was it due to re-
spectful reverence for the sex to which
mothers, wives and sisters belong, or
was it merely superficial—a conventional
habit taught in childhood? As he
looked around the church and saw
women standing while men sat through
out the service, he was forced to con-
clude that courtesy is not inherent; that
men are polite because imitative, and
that selfishness is ' paramount in the
heart of man even before the altar of
God.
The men he saw seated around him
he knew would not let women stand in
a car, then why in church? Probably
because it was the custom and no one
could condemn it. There are, it is true,
many New Yorkers who keep their seats
in cars while women stand. They argue
that as distances are great in this city
and a business day is very irksome, that
they, the tired bread-winners, are justi-
fied in resting, while a woman, who is
out but a few hours for pleasure, shop-
ping, or recreaton, should take her
chance with the rest, as she is not
obliged to be there. The logic, if un—
gallant, is irrefrag'able. But it can not
apply to the church. The business
there of men and women is presumably
to worship God. The body is not tired
with the turmoil of business, and the
heart should be softened while gentle
emotions stir the breast. If there are
not seats enough for all, it would seem
to be but natural that men should give
way to the weaker sex; to the women
who are wives, mothers and sisters.
That theydo not do so indicates that
politeness is not instinctive, that it is a.
mere convention. To be polite must be
taught and be made to act unselfishly,
they must be shown wherein they are
selfish. They are like sheep, and in
the absence of a leader, or leaders, do
nothing but huddle together, not know-
ing what to do.
As the reporter looked down upon the
sweet motherly face of the woman who
had accepted his seat, a vision of the
multitudes of women he had in his life-
time allowed to stand in church arose
before him. Their faces were not re-
proachful, but his heart smote him. He
thought of his own mother and sisters
and of his lost Lenore, and the fact that
so simple an act of courtesy had never
occurred to him before brought before
him, with a. vividness that was startling
and unpleasant, the fact that he was a
man. As the last words of the benedic-
tion fell upon his ear he realized that
the only sermon he had heard that day
was the one he had preached to himself.

Horror of the Opium Habit.
The world is ignorant of the horrors
of the opium habit. I know of one
poor fellow who has told me his ex—
perience more than once. He says that
he has made up his mind a thousand
times, when partly over the influence
of the drug, that he would not touch it
again; he would die first. Well, when
the drug lost its effect he said he felt
awful, his jaws would swell up and
great knots would come in his stomach.
He was enduring such dreadful agony
that it was no use trying; he must have
it, and then he would go for it. He has
told me that if he were in a balloon,
and he knew that if by stepping out of
the balloon he would get opium, he
would do so rather than stay in without
it. I have a man among my acquaint-
ances, a lawyer, and one of the bright-
est ones that I ever met, who is one of
the most pitiable illustrations of what
Opium does that I ever saw. He is a
brilliant fellow, but has become so thin,
wan and sallow, that he looks more like
a skeleton than anything else. When
under the influence of the drug he soars
into the very heights of oratory. I re-
member one day in court in a certain
county—the day had been given over to
delivering short addresses, eulogies 'on
a. deceased justice. The presiding
judge called on one lawyer after an-
other, and they rose and made pretty,
and some of them very eloquent
speeches. Finally 'my acquaintance
was called upon. He was well under
the influence of the drug, and he arose
and, without any preparation whatever,
delivered what was pronounced the
finest eulogy ever heard in that part of
the State. An hour later he would have
pawned his soul and body for a quar-
ter’s worth of opium.~——G~lcbe Democrat.
Left Them All.
The duplicity of man has an offset in
the case of an Indiana girl, who engaged
herself to no less than twelve young
men, secured valuable presents from
all, and finally married an old widower
at an hour’s notice. She said she did it
just to make “softies” of the dozen, and
_ her success was beyond question.

Said Lincoln “’1: a. — Fool.
Ex-Gov. James M. Ashley, of Ohio,
who spends most of his time in New
York attending to the finances of a
railroad from Toledo northward into
Michigan, of which he was the pro-
moter, begins to show his age in various
ways, says a writer in the New York
Press. He has, had rheumatic pains
that racked his large frame, and he is
not as active as he was when he leaped
into National prominence nearly thirty
years ago to mom for emancipation of
the slaves. But he is full of-reminis-
cences of the great men of the great war
period, and , he told a story of Lincoln
recently, which came to him from
George W. Julian, of Indiana. and
which has the Lincoln flavor in all its
details. Congressman Lovejoy of Illi-
nois, at the head of a self-appointed
committee of gentlemen, had called on
President Lincoln to explain a scheme
which they had in hand looking to an
increased efliciency of the Western sol-
diers. They talked so well that they
procured an order on the Secretay of
War from Mr. Lincoln for its execution.
The committee, thanking the President,
betook themselves to the War Depart-
ment, where they explained the matter
to Secretary Edwin M. Stanton. The
Secretary peremptorily refused to com-
ply with it. Lovejoy impulsively ex-
claimed: “But, Mr. Secretary, we have
the President’s order with us, sir.”
“Did the President give you such an
order ‘2” roared the angered Secretary.
“He did, sir,” answered Lovejoy in
some heat, angered in turn at having
his word doubted.
“Then he is a blanked fool i” said the
fiery Stanton.
“Do you mean to say that the Presi-
dent is a blanked fool ?” asked the be-
wildered and thoroughly startled Illi-
neisan.
“Yes, sir-ee,”roared out the Secre-
tary, “if he gave you such an order as
that.”
There was a moment’s conference of
the committee and it withdrew in disor-
der, but regained its aplomb outside
and returned immediately to the White
House and reported the result of its
visit.
“Did Stanton say I was a blanked
feel if I gave that order?” asked Lin-
coln earnestly, after he had heard them
out.
When Lovejoy and the others had
joined in an emphatic affirmation the
President thought for a moment and re-
plied without the slightest trace of an-
ger or even of annoyance:
“Well, gentleman, if Stanton saidI
was a blanked feel there must be some-
thing wrong about this order, for Stan-
ton is nearly always right. 1 must see
him about it before anything can be
done.”
Subterranean Fires. ,
Some idea of the terror of volcanoes
may be gathered from an account of an
eruption in one of the Hawaiian islands,
as graphically described in the London
Budget, when the crater was filled
from five hundred to six hundred feet
deco with molten lava, the immense
weight of which broke through a sub-
terranean passage of twenty-seven miles
and reached the sea, forty miles distant,
in two days, flowing for three weeks
and heating the water twenty miles dis-
taut.
Rocks melted like wax in its path;
forests crackled and blazed before its
fervent heat; the works of man were to
it but as a scroll in the flames.
Imagine Niagara’s stream, above the
brink of the falls, with its dashing,
whirling, madly raging waters, hurry-
ing on to their plunge, instantaneously
converted into fire~—a gory-hued river
of fused minerals; volumes of hissing
steam arising; smoke curling upward
from 10,000 vents, which give utterance
to many deep-ton ed mutterings and
sullen, confined clamorings; gases de-
tonating and shrieking as they burst
from their hot prison-house; the heavens
lurid with flamesythe atmosphere dark
and oppressive; the horizon murky With
vapors and gleaming with the reflected
contest.
Such was the scene, as the fiery
cataract, leaping a precipice of fifty
feet, poured its flood upon the ocean.
The old line of coast, a mass of com-
pact, indurated lava, whitened, cracked,
and fell. The waters recoiled and sent
forth a tempest of spray; they foamed
and lashed around and over the melted
rock; they boiled with white heat; and
the roar of the conflicting agencies grew
fiercer and louder. The reports of the
exploding gases were distinctly heard
twenty-five miles distant, and were
likened to a whole broadside of heavy
artillery. Streaks of the intensest light
glanced like lightning in all directions;
the outskirts of the burning lava, as it
fell, cooled by the shock, were shivered
into millions of fragments, and scattered
by the strong wind in sparkling showers
far into the country. Six weeks later,
at the base of the hills, the water con-
tinued scalding hot, and sent forth
clouds of steam at every wash of the
waves.
The Queen Bathed In Blood.
The Dutch who settled in Elizabeth-
town, N. J., in 1786, brought with them
from the fatherlaud a mode of execution
that was the result of an old Dutch le-
gend, which relates that in olden times
a reigning queen had a habit of bathing
daily in human blood.
No method was then known _of ex-
tracting all the blood from the body. so
that hundreds of lives were daily sacri-
ficed to satisfy her majesty’s eccentric
desire. As there was great danger of
depopulating the whole country, the
court fool conceived the idea of the
“zfl'row,” a wooden shell shaped like a
woman and lined inside with hundreds
of daggers.
The victim was placed inside, and by
touching a spring trap the machine
would close violently, and the unfortu-
nate wretch would be pierced through
and through with a hundred holes,
through Which the life’s blood would
quickly pass out. The blood would
pass down through a pipe leading to the
queen’s bath tub, and when suflicient
was in she would bathe. The machine
sacrificed thousands of young maids
and boys, whose blood the queen pre-
ferred to the blood of adults. Follow-
ing the regime of carnage, the machine
was used for the execution of criminals
up to the eighteenth century, when it
was discarded in this and the mother
country.—New York Press.

The workmen in the deepest mine:
of Europe swelter in almost intolerablc
heat, and yet they have never penetra
ted over one seven-thousandth part 0!
the distance from the surface to the cen-
ter of the earth. In the lower levels of
some of the Comatock mines the men
fought scalding water, and could labor
only three or four hours at a. time until
the Sutro tunnel pierced the mines
and drew off some of the terrible heat,
which had stood at 120 degrees. The
deepest boring ever made, that at Sper-
enberg, near Berlin, penetrates only
4,172 feet, about 1,000 feet deeper than
the famous artesian well at St. Louis.
While borings and mines reveal to us
only a few secrets relating to the tem-
perature and constitution of the earth
for a few thousand feet below the sur-
face, we are able, by means of volcanoes,
to form some notion of what is going on
at greater depths. There have been
many theories about the causes of vol-
canoes, but it is now generally held
:hat though they are prouuced by the
.n'tense heat of the interior of the earth
they are not directly connected with the
molten mass that lies many miles below
the [immediate sources of volcanic
energy. Everybody knows that many
rocks are formed on the floor of the
ocean, and it has been found that a
twentieth to a seventh of their weight
Is made up of imprisoned water. Now,
:hese rocks are buried in time under
overlaying strata which serve as a
blanket to keep in the enormous heat of
the interior. The heat turns the 'water
into super-heated steam, which melts
the hardest rocks, and when the steam
finds a fissure in the strata above, it
breaks through to the surface with for"
rific energy, and we have a volcano. We
find that these outpourings that have
lain for countless ages many thousands
of feet below the surface are well
adapted to serve the purposes of man.
Many a vine-yard flourishes on the vol-
canic ashes from Vesuvius, and vol-
:anic mud has clothed the hills of New

wonderful display of the results of vol-

Makes tlTe‘
Weak Strong ’
The way in whlch Hood's Sarsaparllla builds up
people in run down or weakened state of health
conclusively proves the claim that this medlclne
“makes the weak strong." It does not act like a
stimulant, imparting fictitious strength from which
there must follow a reaction of greater weakness
than before, but in the most natural way Hood’s
Sarsapnrjlla overcomes that tired feeling, creates an
appetite, purifies the blood, and, in short, gives great
bodily, nerve, mental and digestive strength.

Timber Wealth or West Virclnln.
“You are making a great ado about
the fdrests you are trying to save from
the onslaughts of the lumbermeu," said
a prominent lumber operatOr of Wes-
tern Pennsylvania to a reporter, on re-
lated by the Mississippi Valley Lum-
berman, “but if you could see some of
the forests I saw three weeks ago in the
Guyan river region in West Virginia,
the Adirondack woods would look like
picnic groves to you. I saw a raft of
new pine logs start down the Guyau
river, one of the first that ever went
out of that wilderness, the smallest log
of which was three feet in diameter and
eighty feet long without a not. There
were logs in that raft five feet through
and 110 feet long. There are miles and
miles of forest containing trees like
these. where the sound of the woods-
msn’s axe has never yet been heard.
Besides that, you may ride all day
through forests of oak, walnut, cherry,
ash and poplar. just as unbroken as
they were when the aborigines roamed
in their depths, although they were
not 100 miles from Wheeling. The
few settlers who have had the hardi-
hood to push into that mountain wild-
erness split up magnificent walnut,
cherry, ash, and poplar logs for fence
lposts, rails and firewood. I saw a
fence around a settler’s cabin th 1; in
the log would have been worth $33,000
at least, if it had been in some one’s
lumber yard. The cabin was laid up
with Walnut logs, each one of them
not worth less than $100—provided
that it had been possible to get them to
market. It looked tough to see these
mountaineers burning up a fortune
in their fireplaces every month, but
there was no help for it. I saw oak
trees there eight feet in diameter and
over 100 feet high. There is no way
of getting that valuable timber out of
that isolated and almost pathless region,
but if the day ever comes When com-
munication can be had between it and
a market. these forests will be a
source of untold wealth to somebody.”
Classified sinners.
“Eight sinners came forward for
prayers last night,” said a gentleman
now conducting revival services in Cin-
cinnati; “eight sinners, some of them of
the very highest social standing, and
some of no standing at all.” What
would John Wesley have said to such a
speech as that, or what his inspired
brother Charles? Social standing dis-
cussed at the altar! A story is related
that when one day the Duke of Welling-
ton was kneeling at the altar to partake
of the communion a peasant knelt by
hisside for the same religious purpOse.
An oflicious person standing by whis-
pered in words the Iron Duke could not
but overhear: “Come away from there.
don’t you know you are kneeling by the
side of the Duke of Wellington?” “Lei
him remain,” interruped the Duke
“there is no rank at this altar.”
