This question.Is agitating three departments of the city of New York. The cat li becoming more and more defunct ev' cry minute and a certain fashionable apartment house In West Fifty-fifth street Is threatened with an exodus. The health department declares that any apartment house with fewer-than ten families In It Is outside Its Juris diction In the matter of removing such has-heen cats. The tenement house department'declares -that the board of health must take charge of the cash, and both deportments put It up to the building .department to decide. In the meantime the Janitor of the apartment hotel does not dare remove the cause of all this mlx-up because and pains for such careless lion of barren Island perquisites. The police department referred the matter, to the building commissioner to decide. The building departments said that It has nothing to.do with any tenement house after the brick, stone and steel are put together. NO OPPOSITION TO DR. F. M. GORDY Special to Tho Georgian.

A. BEATTIE LUKE xlv: l it Golden Text— He that humbleth him self shall be exalted.—Luke 14: 11. The Incident recorded In this lesson occurred during the Perean ministry of Christ, near the close of His life. One Babbath a prominent Pharisee Invited Him to dine with him. Wfhy he did so can only be conjectured. It may be safely assumed that It was not to give Him social recognition or receive instruction, or like Simon, the leper, by this act express his gratitude, but for the sole purpose of entrapping Him. At this distance It looks like a plot had been laid. When the people make a dinner party It Is customary to Invite those who are congenial and only those who are friends of the prin cipal guest. On this occasion the friends and followers of Jesus are not Invited, but those who are HIS - most relentless and bitter enemies, who, we are told, watched His every word and act. To eat bread on the Sabbath, as a guest, was a common thing. The only rule observed was that every thing was served cold, having been cooked on the previous day. As far as the record goes, Jesus never refused an Invitation to a meal and once at least, In the case of Zaccheus, Invited himself. He embraced every oppor tunity to reach and teach the people. He did so at the risk of being called a glutton. No matter whether He feasted or fasted, whether He spoke • ‘fept silent, they found fault with ft m. Among those present on this occ_..lnn whs a man who had the dropsy, not an Invited guest, but In the freedom of the Eastern home, had come In through curiosity, or It may be with a desire to be healed. Or It may be that he was Induced by the friends ♦if the Pharisee to make a test base. Jesus read their thoughts and silenced them by asking them the question, "Is It lawful to heal on the Babbath day? And when He had healed him. He silenced them again by asking, “Which of you shslt have an ass (better trans lation, son), or an ox and he fall In a pit will not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day?" This was not the first time their Sabbatharianlsm ■ had courted a controversy which always ended In their discomfiture. The others were: , .. The healing at Bethesda, John 6:10.

Advice to the Guests. Having silenced the Pharisees, Jesus would give some wholesome advice to the guests. In our day*when the king or the president of the United States, with ethers xvho have been Invited, meet at a feast, much care Is taken In selecting the seats of the guests, Every one must be seated according to his rank or position. But then It seems there was a scramble for the highest seats. We are told- the con celt of the Jewish doctors of the law was Intolerable. Farrar quotes from the Talmud how, at a banquet of King Alexander Janneus, the rabbi, Simon ben Shetach, In spite of the 21. FOR COUNTY TREASURER.

The blind" man at Slloam. John 9:14 and - of the paralytic woman, Luke 12:14. Sabbath Desecration. One of the vital questions today Is how shall the Sabbath be observed? The faces of our Puritan fathers grew longer with the shadows Saturday af ternoon, and never relaxed In a' smile till Monday morning: nothing was unnecessarily cooked on the Sabbath: the catechism, the Bible, and relig ious books was the only reading. Some think they were too strict and stren uous, that they went to the extreme, but If they did have we not gone to the other? , , . . . They confined themselves strictly to ad thrust himself at a table between the king and queen, and when re buked for his Intrusion, quoted In his defense Eccl. 1G:G, “Wisdom shall make thee sit among princes.” He tells them when they are at a xveddlng not to select for themselves the highest seats, lest afterward they should be requested to take n lower seat and thus he humiliated, but to take a lower seat nnd afterward be In vited to go up higher. He that humbleth himself shall be exalted. These words express the cen tral truth of Christ’s parable. How of ten It has been Illustrated In the his tory of the world In ever)- department of life. The ambitious self-seeker has been turned down, while the moiest. unselfish, humble inan has been called up higher. The greatest men have been noted for their humility. Hu mility Is best for earth, and It Is the “passport to promotion Into the king dom of God," because It Is the splr of that kingdom. This truth Is especially appllcab’e to those ,who belong to that kingdom. Christ often applied It to RIs own dis ciples. He had told them that who ever would be greatest must be the servant of all. He Illustrated tt by washing His disciples’ feet. "He came not to be ministered unto but to min ister." In the kingdom of God, the at rnosphere Is one of love and unselfish ness end those who have most of this spirit are most like Christ and reach the highest place. "Humble we must be If to heaven we Dr. Cox said, "I can never for a mo ment hold with those who say, ’Let me only within the gate of heaven and I shall be satisfied.’’ It Is right for us to pray for an “abundant entrance," for many stars In our crown. Self-exaltation seeks place, honor, reward, for the gratification of self. Humility seeks usefulness, character, service, to others. Love thyself last: and oh, much Joy shall thrill thee As never yet such selfish souls was given. Whate’er thy lot, a perfect peace will fill thee. And earth shall seem the anteroom of heaven.

We have converted a holy day Into a holi day.
