Text of the Lesion, John xiH, 1-17.
Memory Verses, 14-17 — Golden
Text. John xill, 15—Commentary
By Rev. D. M. Stearns.
1. "Having loved His own which were
!n the world, He loved them unto the
end." How good it is that He never
ceases to love us! He never finds out any
thing new about us. hut before ever He
told us of His love lie knew us thorough
ly, and He loves us with an everlasting
love (Jer. xxxi, 3). He came from the
Father into the world. He is now about
to return to the Father, and Ho lias some
last words and lessons for His disciples,
many of which are full of assurances of
His love, such as chapter xv, 9.
2. At one time the devil used the ser
pent, but since Eve listened to him the
devil hus always been able to find men and
women enough for his purposes. He puts
before us evil thoughts, and if we receive
an evil thought then he will show us how
to cairy It into an evil deed, and he will
eome into us himself and consummate it.
In this verse he puts the thought into
Judas’ heart, and in verse 27 he comes in
himself.
3. Jesus was conscious that all power
and all things were His; that He came
from God and was going to God, and be
cause of what He was He did what Ho
did. He did not try to niuke Himself equal
with God, for Ho was equal with God, ono
with the Father. If we have received
Him, we are children of God by faith in
Him, heirs of God and joint heirs with
Christ (Rom. viti, 10, 17), and as wo be
lieve this we will be enabled to do or bear
cheerfully whatever Ho sends us.
4. Laying aside His garments Is sug
gestive of the glory which He laid aside
when Ho came to earth for us, and girding
Himself with a towel makes ns think of
Him as our groat high priest, ever minis
tering to and serving up,' Ho is still girt
about the breast with' a golden girdlo
(Rev. i, 13) and is at God’s right hand for
us as well as in the midst of the churches.
5. Washing and wiping the disciples’
feet—how dumb with, astonishment they
must have been, and what an opportunity
for blessed service some one lost! How
slow wo are to see the opportunities until
they have passed. He never lost one.
0. “Lord, dost Thou wash my feet?”
With amazement Simon has watched Him
passing from one to another, but now that
his own turn has come he cannot stand, it
aqd thus cries out. adding, "Thou shalt
■ never wash my feet” (verse 8). To seoour
Lord Jesus taking the place of the most
menial servant was too muoh for Peter
and perhaps made him wish that he had
been quick enough to do this instead of"
his Lord and Master.
7. “What I do thou knowest not
but thou shait know hereafter,
hereafter docs not neocssarily
heaven and the life to come, but to a'
period In this present life. We often
l come light as the years pass on upon
dealings with us, but doubtless the’ 1 ^
"HJ?ht Will not cbmd till tic morning,’ and'
many things may remain dark till then.
8. "If I wash thee not, thou hast no
part with Me." As to this washing see
chapter ili. 5; I Cor. vi, 11; Titus iii, 5;
Rev. 1, 5; Eph. v, 26. We cannot have
part with Christ till He has made us meet,
but it is His work, and His alone, that
can give us this necessary cleansing.
9. Simon, not understanding, now asks
for more than our Lord was doing. Possibly
he had some thought in mentioning hands
and head as well as feet of the blood and
oil upon the ear arid hand and foot in the
consecration of the priests and the cleans
ing of the le]>cr (Lev. viii, 24; xiv, 25, 28).
10. “Clean every whit.” What a word
concerning such as Peter and John and
the others! Yet it is true of every sincere
l>cliever. Sanctified as well as justified by
the ono offering of Jesus Christ once for
all—ves, jierfeeted forover and complete
In Him (Heb. x. 10, 14; Col. ii, 10). This
is our standing in Christ through His fin
ished work. As to our daily life we need
constant cleansing. The feet suggest our
contact with the world.
11. "Yo are not all clean.” Judas never
had been a true disciple. Ho was only of
the number of the twelve, not of the
twelve. Those who go out from, the num
ber of Christ's followers never to return
make it manifest that they never were
true followers (I John ii. 19). Those who
arc true disciples can never perish (John
x. 27, 26). Tlte Lord knowetli them that
are Hin.
12. "Know yewhat I have done to you?”
They certainly knew that He had washed
and wiped t heir feet, but that was only
the outward act. Did they understand its
meaning? He made known His ways un
to Moses, His acts unto the children of Is
rael (Ps. eiii, 7).
13. “Ye call Me Master and Lord, and
ye say well, for so I am.” Paul loved to
say, “G,od. whoso I am and whom I serve”
(Acts xxvii, 23). Elijah said, “ The Lord
God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand”
(I Kings xvii, 1). On another occasion j
our Lord said, “One is your Master, even i
Christ, and all ye are brethren” (Math,
xxiil. 8).
14-16. "I have given you an example,
that ye should do as I have done to you.” '
We cannot be saved by trying to Imitate
Ciirist, for there is no salvation except by
His blood. "The life of the flesh is In the
blood, and I have given it to you upon tfco
altar to make an atonement for your
souls, for it is the blood that maketh an
atonement for the soul” (Lev. xvii, 11).
But He saves us by His blood that we
may follow Him as our example and man
ifest His life in these mortal bodies. Not
saved by any doing of ours, but saved that
wo may do. “ We are His workmanship,
created In Christ Jesus unto good works,
which God hat h before prepared that we
should walk in them” (Eph. ii, 10). Noth
ing will make tis more apt to see quickly
these good works which He has for us to
do than a study of the life of our Lord ir.
the four gospels, always supposing that
we are filled with the Spirit both to study
and to act. Many are willing to do some
great thing, but to lay aside our official
rolies and stoop to serve those whom we
consider beneath us—this requires more
grace than most of us seem to have.
17. "If ye know these things, happy are
ye if ye do them.” Elsewhere He said,
“Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord,
Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of
heaven, but he that doeth the will of My
Father which is in heaven” (Math, vii,
21). "Be yc doers of the word and not
hearers only, deceiving your own selves”
(Jas. i, 22). "Therefore to him that
knoweth to do good and deeth it not, to
him it is sin” (Jas. iv, 17). “This is a
faithful saying, and theso things I will
that thou aflirm constantly that they
which have believed be careful to main
tain good works. These tilings are good
and profitable unto men” (Titus lii, 8).
A PiCTl'RE OF DUSE.
In private life Duse dresses almost en
tirely in white. She wears no corset and
does not make up her face even for the
stage. She has beautiful black hair, but
she bundles^t up anyhow and is quite
proud of the one snow y white lock that
sweeps aoross her templo. As to her char
acter, this Is what a groat friend says:
“She is a charming woman, sincere, brave
and good. Her conversation, when she
chooses to speak, is startlingly brilliant,
but she is ono of the saddest women I have
ever known.”

TWO FAILURES.
Two men set ont on life's highway
To reach a certain place,
And one was “slow, but sure,'.’ and one
Went at a lively pace.
The man who rushed with all his might
Along the rocky way
Soon left his friend behind, bnt fell
Beside the road one day.
The other, who was “slow, bnt sure,"
Kept plodding on and cn
And reached the end at last, to find
That what he sought was gone.

the men 6tared at her. Every hat was re
moved, and some of the men quietly leaned
an elbow on the table to conceal the
glasses. After a moment’s pause the girl
noticed the marks of respect being paid
her-presence, and her timidity gave way.
Approaching the nearest of the men she
handed him a paper with the request to
buy. «•-- ’
The sound of the voice was marvelonsly
sweet and musical for such a place. Every
face about the table looked its wonder
ment. A noticeable trace of • something
like conscious guilt appeared os the girl
looked from one countenance to another.
The man who had been solicited to buy
drew forth from his pocket a handful of
money and selected a large silver coin,
Which he placed in the outstretched palm
of the girl and received in return a smilo
and sweotly spoken “Thank you.” The
others likewise went into their pockets
and paid her liberally for her papers. She
then turned to go, bnt one of the group,
the one formerly intended for the minis
try, whom his companions hod so sudden
ly hashed at. the appearance of the girl,
found his tongue again and addressed her.
He was respectful, but as yet by no means
sober.
“You came in here to do good,” he said
to her, standing with uncovered head,
“and you must not goaway without mak
ing some impression upon these drunk
ards. I need some one to make mo better,
and I demand that you make an impres
sion on me before you leave. ”
Thereupon, to the great amazement of
the young woman, he began to take off
his coat. Ho threw it upon the table and
turned to his companions, all of whom
had remained as solemn and silent aa
tombstones, and addressed them in elo
quent tones, beseeching them to behave
themselves till the young lady spoke.
Tho dark eyes of the young girl looked
a thousand doubts and fears, and it. was
apparent that the situation was a trying
one. She had spoken to many a sinner,
but not under such circumstances. Seeing,
however, that the men were not jesting
she plucked up her courage and bravely

A LASSIE’S PKAYER.
In a well known saloon on Champlain
Itreet. not for from the busy port of On
tario street, where many well known men
about town often are found as visitors, a
remarkable scene was witnessed the other
day, on account of which a group of men
present on the occasion will long hold a
vivid remembrance of the time and place.
’ The persons interested most intimately
In the scene were of a remarkably varied
sort. The barkeeper and a small bootblack
were minor yet interesting characters, but
of principal importance were four middle
aged men of the well to do and sporty
class, and a slender, sweet faced young
girl wearing tho familiar bine costuma
and bonnet of the Salvation Army.
One of the group was a prosperous phy
sician, a man of middle age, eloquent ad
dress and pleasant bearing. His speech be
spoke an excellent education. A second
member of the group was a business man.
The others were a middle aged man, who
was educated for the ministry, now a suc
cessful man of affairs, and the fourth and
least commendable a man with a family,
who had, until recently, lived on tho nar
row profits of a none too extensive busi
ness. but had fallen heir to the sum of
$10,000, which he was blowing in as rap-
Hly as he and his friends could get away
with it
This was the group to which the barten
der was passing frequent drinks, and by
the side of which the little bootblack was
busily plying his brushes over the surface
of a pair of boots It was an idle, uninter
esting scene thus far suggested little that
was commendable, except an abundance of
unstilted good fellowship, for the intellec
tual standard of the men was not apparent
In the loud talk and laughter poured out
In torrents over the glasses.
It wanted only the appearance of the
pretty Salvation Army girl to work a
magic change, In the midst of a hoarsely
shouted jest at the bartender one of the
men was suddenly hushed by his compan
ions. Pounding a massive fist with a
thundering blow, upon the table and
■winging his hat he began to ridicule the
young man wearing the beer stained
whi$e apron.
"The barkeeper has an honest face,” he
shonted, with a roar of laughter. “An
honest bartender, boys, ha, ha. ha!" And
he nearly rolled from his chair, when he
was suddenly bade to‘‘shut up.” The
summons was obeyed at once.
•‘There’s a lady here,” said one of the
men, and the laughter ceased and the
revelers looked toward the door.
In the center of the barroom floor stood
the slender form of a Salvation lassie.
Two dark eyes were looking timidly at
the group of boisterous men, as though
wondering whether it was safe for a young
girl to approach nearer. Her arms clasped
a bundle of War Crys, and her fingers
moved nervously a3 she peered at the
group about the table.
There was a dead silence in the room
and the embarrassment seemed mutual.
Tho girl stared at the group of men, and

stood her ground. The little bootblack had
discontinued his work of polishing shoes
and stood gazing at her. The four men,
not drunk, nor yet sober, waited for her
to speak. The bartender leaned over the
bar and scowled. She looked at him and
he guessed her meaning and shouted sav
agely:
" "None of that, now, miss. You’ve sold
your papers, so get out. ’
A hundred devils would have been more
welcome, but his remonstrances were of
no avail, as he.was quickly silenced by the
men around the table, who told him not
to meddle with their affairs. Before he
could growl anything in reply the brave
young girl had seized the occasion and,
despite his orders, dropped upon her knees
on the stone floor and lifted her hands to
pray The men likewise knelt down, and
the bootblack looked into the upturned
face of the girl and bowed his uncovered
head.
The bartender turned away in anger, but
after a moment dropped his head also as
the sweet voice of the kneeling girl asked
heaven to bless him.
When the girl had finished there was not
a dry eye in the room. Even the bartender
shook the girl’s slender hand when she
left, and the four men declared the day
was not wholly lost in which they could
meet such a woman.—Cleveland Plain

GOLD MEDAL FOB ORATORY
AND LITERATURE
The Alkahest Magazine, of Atlanta.Ga.,
is trying to revive the old-time American
oratory by giving annually a gold medal
for the best oratorical production from
a college young man. John Temple Graves
started this work of encouragement by
giving a medal to the Georgia colleges
for the best oratory. This has proven a
great success. The Alkahest extends the
offer to all colleges. To give an equal
chance to young women. It also offers a
similar medal for the best literary pro
duction on any subject from a young
lady in college. Word limit 3,000—2,000
pieferred. Contests close June 20, each
year. Pictures and sketches of the suc
cessful ones will probably be printed.
This is a worthy move on the part of
this southern magazine to encourage ora
tory and literature in colleges, and the
coming contest will be a great success.
