[Condensed from Lesson Helper Quarterly by permission of H. S HoiTnian, Philadelphia, j publisher.] Notes.—V. 1. End of the Sabbath, means tbo same as after the Sabbath. Began tu i dawn, daybreak near sunrise, Mark xvi, 2. i Mary Magdalene, see Luke viii, 3. The ' other Mary, the mother of James, Matt, i xxvii, <>l. First day of the week, the first I Christian Sunday. V. 2. There was, Ro- : vised Version, bad been. V. 4. As dead men, by fright were thrown into a swoon. V. 5. | i Fear ye not, be not agitated or troubled. V. i G. Seo the place, to satisfy yourselves that ho , : is risen. V. 8. Departed quickly, run, tbo i news was so good as to put speed into their feet. V. 9. All hail, a Salutation which j means rejoice. Held him by the feet, threw i themselves prostrate before him, 2 Kings iv, 37. V. 12. Large money, much money to bribe them to conceal the truth. V. 13. Per suade him, satisfy Pilate that he would not i punish them. V. 1. Jesus had now laid in the guarded tomb Frida\ T night, Saturday, and Saturday ; night, and the morning of the first day (our • i Sunday) had come. In the twilight of the early morning, not only Mary of Magdala 1 and Mary the mother of Jesus, but several ' ■ other holy women wended their way to the sepulcher. Matthew omits the names the ! others give because he expects to continue his ■ ■ account of the two he mentions, chapter : xxvii, Gl. The Mary of Magdala, in Galilee, ■ was delivered by Jesus from seven demons, but she is not the same as many think, with “the woman that was a sinner.” While they i bore the spices which they had prepared there may have struggled in their hearts, so ' filled with grief, a remote hope of his resur- : rection. These women, “last at his cro:s .-.iid j earliest at his grave,” were ready to receive ' 1 tho glad news of Christ’s resurroe! ion. The I disciples were slow to believe it , showing the j i difference between woman’s intuition and ; man’s reasoning process in attaining the same J result. They went “to see the sepulcher.” ! How true affection still prompts us to go to i tho place where a sainted one rests, to see the i tomb of buried love. Is there not unconsei- j ously in each such visit the hope of a resur- , rection of the body? On the way they worried about tho re- ■ moval of the huge stone. How often we are ■ concerned about difficulties which will be ' removed when we come to them. V. 2, 3. There had been an earthquake, ' perhaps a repetition of the shock described j in chap, xxvii. 51 (at tho time of the Lord's I death), and a divine messenger had descended i from heaven to remove tho stone. Jesus i . rose from the dead by the exertion of his own i ! innate divine power. The earthquake and '■ i the shining angels but evinced Iris divine i majesty, and were sent to overawe the guards 1 and to show that Jesus was not taken from 1 the tomb by human power. WbOn the j women approached tho tomb, tho herald of j 1 the risen Saviour sat in the shining robes of ! ' triumph and purity upon the stone. ’ V. 4. \\ bile tho old heroes are trembling 1 . ' and impotent, the desponding became heroic; j ■ while the living become as dead, he who was > ' dead comes back to glorious life. ) • V. 5. Tho shining one know what sor- , > row tho hearts of those women carried. . ' j Hence he said, ‘ Fear not ye.” i V. G. The turning point in human his- i ’ i tory begins with Christ’s resurrection. Every ( j human hope springs from his empty tomb. ; i “Ho is risen, as he said,” Luke xxiv, 6-7. J Jesus had repeatedly predicted that he would . I arise from the dead. He was willing to rest , ’ all his claims to the Messiabship and divin- j ! ity upon his ability to overcome death. . j V. 7. The women first to see the empty ! i tomb, first to hear that he was risen, first to . have the risen Jesus to speak to them and , ! first to touch his resurrected body (v. 9) were I ; j made the first evangelists to make known his | »| resurrection. ■' : They were to toll the disciples, Mark xvi, 7, ! ’ I adds “and Peter.” He, the saddest of all, was J | to have a drop of joy in his cup, showing i I that Christ had forgiven him. j The disciples were to be told that Jesus , would meet them in Galilee, as he had prom ised before his crucifixion. V. 8. Tho joyful news put elasticity in ■ their steps and enthusiasm in their souls. They made “haste” on such business. And ; yet with all the joy that tliiHibbcd in their bosoms there were mingled emotions of fear, i “Fear at what they had seen; joy at what’i they had heard.” Schaff. V. 9. As they were hurrying on their way to tell the disciples Jesus met them. Jesus always meets us when wo are earnestly in the path of duty. Kneeling down at his feet with beautiful Oriental simplicity and grade, the women I worshiped him, rendering him divine liom- V. 10. They were not to fear him though ' he rose from the chambers of the dead. 'I bey were not to fear the hate and perseeution < f their enemies. Christ rose to silence ail fears. ! V. 11-12. Contemporaneously with the women entering Jerusalem some of tho j guard, perhaps the officers, entered tho city; ' ! one bearing the news of tbo resurrection to ! i friends, and the other to the enemies of Jesus. ' Caiaphas and the chief rulers deemed the-i matter so important and the situation so* grave that the groat council of the nation | was hurriedly called together. It has been ' stated that this was the last session that was ever held by the sanhedrim. V. 13-15. The miserable subterfuge to ; which tho rulers resorted refutes itself. How ' was it that all the sixty «oldiers slept at the j same time, and so soundly as not to be awak- I i ened by the disciples us they rolled away the ! • stone, lifted and carried away the dead ' • body? If they slept how could they see that | 1 it was the disciples who stole tho !•■' !y? Tho 1 discipL s had no motive in ihel ody. 3 They k::ew well that in doii: S swh a deed ! those jealous Jews, who bud erm .dud their i 1 'dor, would not spare them.

Smith Russell tells of how he was trav eling on Long Island some seasons ago, doing his monologue in town balls and church basements. At the railway station in one of ; t.hc:-e little eel catching communities, a na- j tire, rust}- and hoary, sat on a freight truck 1 and accosted tho comedian with: “Be you ' Mr. Russlef” “Yes, that’s my name,” answered Sol. “Waal, I thought so.” said tho native. “I seen yeow up to the t' - wn hall las’ night, i anwaul, ycu*re a good an!” “O, thank you,” said Sol; “I’m glad you : liked tn entertainment.” * “Sineo 1 coma away,” resumed the native, “I’ve been thluktn* that menbe you might do sumpin for my boy—good, likely critter as ever lived, but so pesky full of his gimcracks that we can’t do nothin’ with him. Put him tn a shingle factory last spring for to larn the trade., but he kep* ’em all laffln’ so that they couldn’t do no work, an’ one mornin’ they threw him out, an’ ho hain’t doin’ nothin’ noow. Scttin’ up to your show last night 1 jest about made up my mind that Rubo would make a mighty good livin’ in your business an’ I thought I’d ask you to take him along with you. He’s tho gol durndest fool you ever see in all your born days.” Tho ex-Rev. George C. Miln once had a similar experience out in Nebraska City. He was playing “The Fool’s Revenge,” and he noticed that one old lady sitting well down in front was fearfully agitated. Sho sobbed and wept like a child. Mr Miln know ho was a pretty powerful actor, but he had never ; sus[M?cted that he had it in him to exercise so terrific a control over another’s emotions. He . sent word down to the old lady that he’d like to talk with her after the play So tbo old lady waited. When Mr Miln had exchanged his stage toggery for civilized raiment ho stopped down into the parquet and greeted the old lady cordially “My acting moved you?” he suggested in his deepest and most soothing tones. “Lor’s sakes alive,” said sho, “1 should rayther say it did. I've got a son who’s an actor in Cheyenne, ami it broke rue all up to think that mebbe he wasn’t no better at actin’ than you be.’’—Exchange A Grave Oversight Punished. When the eccentric Harry Webb (noted for his freaks of absentmindedness) was Jes see of the Queen’s theatre in Dublin tie pro duced “Macbeth” with new scenic effects. Among the rest, clouds descended to conceal tho exit of the three witches in the first scene. Webb, anxious to discover how the scene worked, passed from tho stage to the front, but he saw only two witches instead of three. Rushing back to tho stage, hoasked: “Where’s tho other witch?” Then to the stage manager: “Fine him, sir; fine him a week’s salary.” “Please, sir,” explained that perturbed functionary, “it's yourself that missed the scene.’’ “Bless me, so it was! Dear mo, give me a cloak; I'll go on in the next scene; and Jen kins, fine yourself five shillings for allowing me to neglect my business.” “Sir!” exclaimed the dumfounded Jenkins. “Y’es, five shillings. It ought to be teu, but I’ll take five.”—Detroit Free Press. Wanted tho Play Changed. Some theatrical managers get weary of the incessant draft upon the exchequer for trifles, very frequently the most necessary requirements of a play The property man knows what the plot calls for; ho asks the manager to borrow or buy the necessaries. A manager recently was asked for money to buy cartridges, some play like “Deadwood Dick” being on the boards, and shooting tho villain being tho main point of interest in tho drama, were absolutely needed. The manager gave up a dollar without a word, but when the next day the property man camo again and asked for moro cartridges he kicked “Why,” said he, “I gave you a dollar for those things yesterday." “1 know you did, but they wero all used up,” replied the property man. “Well, 1 won’t stand that kind of racket. You can go back and have the plot changed and have the villain killed With a club?’— Chicago Herald. Traveling for Half Fare. A good story is told of Bolossy Kiralfy. When his “Seven Ravens” company went to pieces out west, tho wire walker asked: “How am 1 to get back to New York?” “I'd like to fix you first rate.” replied Kiralfy, “but 1 can't think how to do it?’ Then an idea struck him, and he added; “I’ll tell you.

The message arrives at the oflice. but the clerk is engaged in con versation with a lady He does not jump * when the alarm sounds, but continues the dialogue.
