There is no doubt in the minds of genuine Democrats as to what the issue will be in 1892. It will be tariff reform—the people’s cause. Other questions may arise and other issues may be presented but the leading issue in 1892 will be identical with that of 1888. The campaign, of education has but fairly begun. It will never be. abandoned until the good light h is lieeu won. Tho people ate becoming aroused, the ranks are closing up and tariff reform is the battle cry.

Subject of Lesson—“B Bartimeus. Golden Text—“T hou son David have mercy on me.” Time—M arch A. D. 30, not after last lesson and only a days before his crucifiction. Place—J ericho, about 5 west of the Jordan, on one of main roads leading to Jerusalem. Sciuptuke Text—M ark 10:46-52. Parallel Accounts—M att. 20 29-34; Luke 18:35-48. 46. And they came to and as he w r ent out of Jericho his disciples and a great of people, blind Bartimeus, the sou of Tirneus, sat by way-side begging. 47. of And he heard it was Jesus he began to cry out, and say, sus, thou Son of David, have cy on me. 48. And many ed him that he should hold peace: but he cried the more great deal, Thou Son of have mercy on me. 49. And stood still, and commanded to be called. And they call blind man, saying unto him, Be good comfort, rise; he 50. And he, casting away his ment, rose, and came to 51. And Jesus answered and unto him, What wilt tholi The that should do unto thee? man said unto him, Lord, that might saiil receive mv him, sight. Go thy 52. Jesus unto thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he reeived his sight, and followed Jesus in the way. Review and Connection. W’e were told two things of importance in last lesson—( 1 ) that Jesus took into his arms some lit¬ tle children, and said in kindly accents “of such is the kingdom of heaven;” and ( 2 ) that a rich young man, who thought every inch a man, who upon the whole thought himself lit company for the Savior, and who wanted to follow him, was told to go away and sell all that he had and give it to the poor, then come and fol¬ low Jesus. Christ imposed upon the man no burden, but simply stated a fact; no one can follow Jesus so long as he loves his pos¬ sessions better than he loves the Lord. Only a short time enter vened between the last lesson and this one; but in that enterval the Master gave his disciples several instructive lessons. (1) He told them how hard it would be for the rich to eater into the kingdom of God; ( 2 ) told the twelve the re¬ ward of the truly faithful; (3) he took the twelve aside again and told them bow he should be treat¬ ed at Jerusalem,—that he should be betrayed, condemned to death, turned over to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and spit upon, that they should kill him, and that* on the third day he should rise again. He also re proves James and John for asking for the chief places in the new kingdom, saying, “Whosoever of von will be (wishes to be) the chiefest, shall be servant of all." Mark x. -3 4o. Explanatory. In the begin ning we wish to say that the nar rative that follows, is apparently a little discordant in the three gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke but it is by no means contradicto rv r> Matthew Matthew says savs two two blind band men, Mark and Luke mention but one. This we explain by supposing that there were really two blind men healed, but one (Bartimeus) inLl bet ter vL known than the other L was the f ease with the two Gada rene demoniacs. As to the place Matthew and Mark sav that the miracle was performed after Christ's departure from Jericho; Luke, as he came nigh Jericho. A great many methods of harmo ding the different accounts have been proposed. We give two that seem to us the most plausible. ( 1 ) Bartimeus may have appeal¬ ed to Jesus as he approached Jer¬ icho, and for some reason was not healed, (perhaps was perhaps Jesus would try his and that on the following as they left the city, together with another blind placed themselves agrffn on road and cried even more than fore, this time receiving what asked for. (2) Another explana¬ tion is, that Matthew and being Jews, referred to the city: while Luke being a referred to the city built or least embellished by the and called by tlie same The cities were a little apart, and it is supposed that blind men were between the so that the miracle was as he left the old Jericho, still just as he was the new Jericho. So much for harmony. v. 46, 47. Jesus and his ples were still on their way to rusalem, and a “great number people,” also going to to celebrate the Passover, joined them. At such time, only blind beggars, but other kind placed themselves the principal roads to the city, because it furnished them good opportunity to present petitions to a great number of ple without much exertion. timeus means son of here used as a proper name like Johnson. The Irish 0' Scotch Me or Mac are used in same way, orriginally “son of”. David was to the an ideal king; so when says “thou Son of David,” he peals to Jesus a descendant of vid, in the language most likely to bringhis request, as lie Son is often used in the to mean simply descendant. v. 48. “And many charged (re¬ buked) him that he should his peace.” “But lie cried more a great deal" thus his earnestness. v. 49. “Jesus stood still." he who as God was creator ruler of tl e universe, and who the Messiah was on his march Jerusalem to be crucified for sins of the world, and who as Light of the world was ing to his followers their duty his own mission into the stopped on his way to heal poor despised beggar. The ples had rebuked Bartimeus, all probability, because thought it their duty to keep Master from being interrupted; so when Christ ders the blind man called, seems that they tell him with that the master lias called him! v. 50. “Casting aside his ment.” This was lys cloak mantle, often used by the poor for a covering at night. This a very jmcom^on act for a blind man who was very careful to keep everything in his reach. Perhaps it shows his faith—he may have believed that he could see how to find it when he came back. v. 51. Jesus knew full well what the man wanted; but he would have the poor man to make a more definite prayer and nave the multitude to witness his faith. v. 52. “Go thy way” is not a command to leave but an assur aupe that he might now go about his business. “Thy faith hath made thee whole." We can not too much stress the fact that whenever Jesus ,vrou g ht a miracle it was always upon lh- grounds of faith in those seeking the bless big - - Immediately he received his sight, showing that it was an act of omnipotence, and not any slow process of healing. their Matthew «avs that “he touched eyes."

Nick Johnson, a fanner of Sumpter county, says that he picked up a curious shaped rock a few r days ago and struck it against something and a large piece dropped out of the center, leaving a cup-sliaped rock. He gave it to his children to play with. One of them filled it with water, and as soon as it was empt tied the rock went to ringing like a bell. It kept it up some five or ten minutes, and will do so when¬ ever tilled with anything and it is "aken or poured out. The prohibition defeat in New Hampshire needs some explana¬ tion. The sale of liquor in that state has been prohibited for thir¬ ty-three years. The recent elec¬ tion was to decide the fate of a constitutional amendment. The people, satisfied with their pro¬ hibitory law as it stood, rejected the amendment. There is a suit pending in a jus¬ tice court in Franklin county over a shotgun that cost about §1.50. The cost of this suit has already amounted to §4, and it has not closed yet. This shows that guns are dangerous, and that contrari¬ ness is one of the worst of all evils.

Their garb and manner showed them to be in the main from the mountains. Some were cheerful and some gloomy. Some were old offenders and faced the situation with stolid indifference, while others were making their first appearance before the court. Some of the men and boys were ignorant, simple-minded and rag¬ ged, and when they stood up to receive their sentences were ob¬ jects of pity. One batch, number¬ ing between twenty and thirty prisoners, pleaded guilty to the charges made against them, and made all sorts of statements to induce Judge Newman to let them off light, and he did so, except m h^been^otamng whisk^in the neighborhood of Dahlonega, and the furnishing it to the students at branch college there.
