fairs of lhe kingdom In the miracles
of the eighth anil ninth chapters,
Matthew now sets before us the meth
ods whirl) Hit* King adopted In the
propagation of the kingdom. II should
he clearly noted that this chapter
does not oiiiliiie Hie policy of mission
ary endeavor In lids age. To teach
It thus Mil! he a grievous blunder.
The following divisions of the ehap
ter suggest Die (lisp, nsatioiml aspects
of the lesson.
I. Instructions Beirinp Immediately
Upon the Apostler.' Work to the Death
of Christ (vv. I 15).
In slriclncas of Interpretation these
♦cachin' s have no application to nny
Inter period
1. The A* in latent Chosen (vv. 1-4).
These twelve hiimhle men were chosen
ami eommlssloned to carry forth the
work of tin- propagation of the king
dom. They were not commissioned
with church truth. These twelve stood
In n peculiar relation to Israel.
2. The Sphere ol Their Mission (vv.
li, (1). They were to go only to Jews.
They had no message for (lenflles, or
even Samaritans. After Pentecost
this sphere was widened. (See I.uko
24:4(1-111; Acts I :K). This would he
a strange restrict ion to place il| on
ministers today.
«. Their Message (v. 7). ‘The
kingdom of heaven is at hand." Tills
meant that Ihe promised kingdom of
Israel was al hand, that Jesus Christ,
the promised King, was present Htid
ready to set up Ills kingdom If thy/
wore wit..*ig to have It. This differs
widely from lh* message of the nthi
Is tors today. After the church is
♦ ranshil'-d, Ihe same message will be
taken up for a brief time by the re
maining remnant. (Sec Acts 15:15-1
Horn. 11 ; Itev. 7).
4. The ,Supernatural Aullu nlicatlor.
of Their Mission ('• $). They were
clothed will) power to work miracles.
These wonderful works were real))
done by Ihe twelve. Where Is Ihe m!r.
isler today who is so foolhardy as t<
Iry to fulfill this?
5. Their. Maintenance (vv. !>. 101
'They wore to make no provision for
their - Rtippprt, lull to depend wholly
upon the l.ord who sent them. They
had received the message and power
gratuitously, ami they were to give II
In Ihe same way (v. 0). Happy, In
<hs*d, would wo he today if we laid
more ministers who are willing ft
trust the l.ord for their support In
stead of bargaining for a staled sal
nry !
fl. Ilesponslhllilles of Those to Whom
the Message Whs Hellvered (vv. II
15). Upon entering the city or town
they were lo Inquire for a respect
place to stay. Into that home
they were to bring pence. If the pen
p’e would not receive them or hthir
their hi 'usage, they were lo pronmrttce
Judgment upon them, and the turning
of Ihe l.ord from them was symbol
trod hy (lie ministers wiping the ditst
from their feel when turning from the
people who rejected their message.

FARALONE HICKEY lived In a
little shack on u lot of his own,
adjoining the estate of Colonel Bald
win. He kept u few liens, a cow and
a coupto -of pigs; hud u garden and
occasionally did odd Jobs for his mote
prosperous-oeighhors. Once In every
month karnlune donned an antiquated
stilt of • respectable appearance and
vanished for the day. On these occa
sions the;’took the train for the cl-ty,
4f> allies a Way, and, upon arrival, rung
a belt- of a stately mansion in a fash
ionable 'street. Being admitted he was
met -by an old spinster of the “laven
der and old luce” variety, who said:
"James 1.- James:! When are you go
ing to give up your absurd Ideas and
come here so live like a gentleman?'’
“Never," was the reply. “I am con
tent, as I am. Where's Clara?”
“.Waiting for you," sighed Elvira;
nnd then came rushing Into the room
a beautiful young lady of twenty-three,
who threw tier arms around Faralone’s
withered neck and, kissing him on
both cheeks, cried out: "Oh, father!”
This was the Invariable program.
The fact of the matter was that
James Caswell, twenty-three years be
fore, upon the death of his wife at Hȣ
birth of their only child, had taken*-
his affliction so much to heart that lie
turned his daughter over to the care
of his sister, Elvira, and himself
sought that hermitage where for years
he existed, the world forgetting, hy
the world forgot. But the solitude of
Mis hermitage was haunted hy two
beautiful visions—the memory of rhe
past happiness of his life with his
udored wife and his plans for the
happiness of his daughter.
Why he had taken the name of
Hickey he could not have told, except
that he lind once had a valet of that
name. Euralone wus the nickname
bestowed upon him by tits neighbors
because of his hermit state of life.
Now, It happened that one day when
Faralone pnld hl.s monthly visit to the
city he was ahead of tils usual time
and Elvira said: "Clara Is out. We
did not expect you until an hour later.
Now, James, I must talk to you. Clara
must be married. She has a lot of
ndmlrers, but, so far, only two real
proposals. One Is from n poor young
artist named Robert Carlton; the oth
er from n rich man’s son. one Arthur
Baldwin. Baldwin she ought to ac
cept, hut, unfortunately, I really be
lieve she Is In love with Carlton. That
Is, she thinks she Is. He has Infatu
ated tier with his romantic Ideas. But
he Is poor - anil always will remain
poor. Now, we don’t want Clara to
marry such a man, do we?"
At the name of Arthur Baldwin,
Euralone had given a start. Well, did
he know, by sight at least, that dash
ing young man who rode almost daily
by Ids hermitage on bis thoroughbred
hunter. Heir to Ids father, Arthur
possessed prospects of wealth and had
an excellent reputation.
“Does Clara dislike Baldwin?" asked
Faralone.
“No," replied Elvlrn, “she does not
dislike him, hut—"
"Well, well, we will see," said Far
alone. "I will talk to her. Yes, de
cidedly, she must marry Baldwin.
Romantic fancies must not he per
mitted to spoil the life of a young
girl."
When Clara appeared and had gone
through her usual demonstrations of
affection for her father, Faralone
opened the question at once. He told
Olara the whole history of his life;
what he had suffered; what he had
sacrificed. lie laid his commands upon
her —and she consented. She only
begged for time. Yes, she should have
time. Bui if he could see her the
wife of Arthur Baldwin, then hp could
sing his “nunc dimittus" and die
happy.
Faralone returned to his hermitage,
li. 55’'**. - ,uni> - «nd ns he sat the
next luoruliig before the door of his
shuck two riders came down the lane.
It was old Colonel Baldwin and his
-on Arthur.
The colonel and Ids son dismounted
at Fnralone's and asked for a drink of
milk. "Tour Idea of marrying that
penniless Sarah Francis is absurd,"
said the colonel. "We need money to
take up that mortgage.”
“Let us say no more about It,” re
plied the young man. "I understand
your financial difficulties. I have told
you t will marry Miss Caswell.”
All this, of course, was overheard
by Faralone. The next morning the
hermit appeared unexpectedly at the
stately mansion in the city. "Elvtru,”
said he, "send Clara here at once.”
"Clarn." said Faralone, when his
daughter appeared, “you will at once
accept the hand of that young artist
of yonrs. Arthur Baldwin is going to
marry somebody etse. Anil l am go
ing to take up the mortgage on the
colonel's estate.”
“Why. wtmt are you talking about?"
cried Elvira.
"Never mind." returned Faralone.
“1 know—ls you don't. As soon as
you are married, Clara. I urn going
abroad for two year* and if, when T
come back, I find that artist of yours
hasn’t treated you right. Fit wring his
neck "
Neons the wedding presents at the
marriage of Arthur Baldwin end t-u
--rait Francis wns a silver casket which
contained the mortgage on the colo
nel’s estate —cunceled ’—and a card
bearing the words, “Compliments of
Faralone Hickey." Needless to say.
Faralone never had to wrttyi tht nock

a TOIIN ALLEN, who declared he had
i, J no time to waste on women when
I- there was so much to do in the world
it of engineering and forestry, in both
d of which he was especially Interested, *
e bad nulled Ihe new school teacher ,
y "The Hemlock Girl.” I’erhdp* It was ,
I because lie always met tier on that i
1 mountain trail where the hemlocks
.- closed in on either side.
', She was the happiest girl h? had
B ever met, and beyond the bare friend- I
■ ly nod of recognition that she would j
s have given to Indian Joe she paid
i- the handsome, bronzed young forester
: no attention.
<- go all through the beautiful au
i tutorial weather the forester foi*
. Ipwfd bis regular trails over the
-' tnountalntnp, storing his lookout
house with supplies for the winter,
; providing himself with books and
a magazines for the long, snowed-in
:, period ahead. On this partieular
s morning the December sky was gray
i and heavy with snow. There was a
" light snow covering the ground now,
i. and lie would not he surprised If his
t bomesvurd trip at night was aceom
c panted by the howling of a wild snow- I
f storm. There was a little eerie whine I
rs- to the wind now with a rising note p
e I that warned him. He wondered If I
e he had not better go hack and warn |
f the school teacher to dismiss her cliil- I
s dren early In the afternoon. But she |
y was already out of sight,
f "She looks like a sensible girl— a
a pri’lmbly's been warned about these §
e mountain storms," he muttered, nnd
s then dismissed her loftily from his
e mind. The children had been granted
a holiday because it was so near Christ
s mas- -and the Hemlock Girl had gone
t to the schoolhouse to decorate it for
t a Christmas party,
e The snowstorm came, a blinding,
s swirling blizzard. How the wind did
moan and screech! He bent to the
a blast, was swung off the trail and
e found himself floundering in a thicket
e of hemlock and spruce,
e "Confound the hemlock I" he roared,
and into his open mouth poured a
» flood of heavy flakes. A thin voice
f near by sang out mockingly: “Don’t
.1 waste your powder, mister. Just —
B come —and —help—me!”
i- "Where?” bellowed John Allen lus- Ii
r tlly. )
“Over here I" sang the voice, and |
they' collided. Both churning in cir- I
t eles finally met nnd the smaller furry I
- form went right into John’s groping |
t arms anil nestled there. :
n “Where the dickens did you come j
o from?" he wanted to know.
“School—snow—lost—way—cold —” ' m
i. AmV then the weight on his shoulder
I was heavier and lie knew that the
brave Utile girl of the hemlocks had
>’ fainted.
1 In a moment the forester was alert,
f He slung off the blanket roll he enr
-1 ried, put the blanket on the ground
ucd laid her there. Then around her
I grouped the contents of his pack sc
tlmt they would not he lost. Ilis
b small bright lantern light showed a
.small hollow filling with snow. I’e
r.enth the snow would he pine needles.
“ His, arnts worked like flails, and when
L he had scraped away the snow he took p
'• a poncho from Ihe pack and fastened I
4 the corners to four small trees, making E
a light roof, His hatchet .-.it and slashed I
6 until he had greal piles of hemlock j
t and pipe houghs with which he lined
p anti wnth-d the little shelter, and lust (
l of all he carried the blanket nnd its
t contents (o the hut. Just at tlieopen
! Ing iti (he shelter ho scraped away
1 a place and built a roaring fire. When
i’ l-.e went to revive the Hemlock Girl
e ' she was sitting up. blinking lovely
l ’ eyes at the grateful warmth and
J brightness.
* "How wonderful It is —to come out of
that terrible storm into tills warmth and
(fomloft. You are a perfect pioneer!" |
8 How lovely she looked there singing ■
s his praises and inciting him to new
deeds of valor. In a minute she was
s beside him helping to make the house
snug and tight, making coffee better
I than his own, sharing his cup and
( spoon, eating out of the same sance
t pan of thick tinned vegetable soup
with lots of hard tack broken into
> It. For dessert he gave her some
sweet chocolate, and through sharing
- the hardships ami making this little
I shelter they became well acquainted
I enough to Joke about Ihe chocolate.
When he had washed all the dishes
! with snow and everything was dried
* and parked tidily away, they sat and
- talked until all the fury of the bit*-
’ | .srd seemed to have been expended.
They knew each other like old friends,
i “You cannot puss me by with that
* curt no.d. Miss Gray, new that we are
! real—may I say friends?" lie asked
> wistfully.
"Os course we are frierni*—and I
* do wish you wo«ld tend me some of
the Digests you are always carrying
' to and fro; I am hungry for reading
up hen*.’*
* ;',' **!* You want-—dWnT know you *

;’• They both laughed from sheer light- !
I ! ‘henrtvdness. ■ and swn after they !
