THE S. S. LESSON Vern: 15. The Phariseesâ€"They had failed to find any ground upon which they could legally proceed against Jesus, but there was a chance that they might ensnare One who dared to pronounce such wholesale conoemnations, if only they could get him to continue his talk. We know that thou art trueâ€"It is little wonder that Jesus replied to these obsequious flatteries by denouncing his questioners as hyâ€" pocrites (18). Their very tone and manner must have suggested not the sincere wish for instruction but the villainous devices of men who acted without conscience. 17. Is it lawful to give tribute 2â€"- If the motive for asking it had been good, this question might have been asked reasonably enough. It was a. much-mooted question among these people who were chafing beneath the yoke of Caesar. Should the chosen nation submit to the ignominy of support- ing a hostile heathen world’power? Both the Herodians and the Phari- sees had a cunning interest in the answer of Jesus. If he answered in the aflirmative, it would be equivalent to a counsel of submis- sion to Rome, and this would em- bitter against him the common people, whose enthusiasm for Jesus up to this time had kept the rulers from violence. On the other hand» the Herodiansknew thatJesus was from Galilee. which was the center ofapopular revolt against any for eign power, and among his follow- ers was one of the party of Zen- lots. It was natural to expect therefore, that Jesus would deâ€" clare against thepayment of tri- bute, and so lay him-self open to the merciless yengeance of Rome. 18. Why make ye trial of meZ- He knew that in the wickedness of their hearts they were simply, putting him to a. test. With the Herodiansâ€"We found in the last lesson (Matt. 21. 45), that in their common hostility to this “prophet,” the Pharisees and Sadducees were willing to forget their differences. Now, as on a. former occasion (Mark 3. 6), the Pharisees join hands with their enemies in order to accomplish the undoing of Jesus. These Herodians were Sadducees, but their chief inâ€" terest was political. I‘hey sided with Herod in his arrest and execu- tion of John, advocated submis- sion to Home, and were generally unpatriotic. For all this, and tor their religious opinions, they were thoroughly detested by the Phari- Bees. 16. Send their disciplesâ€"“Young men who, like Saul of Tarsus; were being trained in the rabbinical schools.” 35. A lawyerâ€"More commonly they were called scribes, or rabbis, their chief activity being in the sphere of the law, both that con- tained in the Scriptures and that handed down by tradition. This man tmmars in a. less favorable 19. Show me the tribute moneyâ€"â€" Mark says he bade them “bring” the piece of money. This agrees with the statement, they brought unto him a. denarius (a. coin bear- ing the emperor’s head and super- scription). _ It i: unlikely that they Would have on their person this hated reminder of the Roman au- thority. 21. Render unto Caesar â€" They were not merely to yield this money to the imperial power as a gift, as their question indicated (17),. but they were to pay it as a debt. It was more than a lawful provision, it was a moral obligation. “This coin represented Roman organiza- tion, security of person and pro- perty, facilities of‘ transit, and other beneficent elements of stable government.” They accepted all these privileges, and they should do their part toward keeping them up. In fact, the money could not really belong to them, but was Caesar’s as long as Caesar held Sway. If that was true of their temporal relations, how much more applicable was it to their re- sponsibility to God, upon whom they were dependent for all things and from whom they were with- holding about everything. In these words Jesus teaches that the sphere of the state are distinct. 34. He had put the Sadducees .to silenceâ€"By exposing their ignor- ance of the Scriptures, and their indifierence to the power of God as indicated by their foolish ques- tion concerning the resurrection: sson XII.

Doomed in Suffering light in Matthew than in Mark» where his question is treated as an honest appeal for information on a debated subject, and the man himself is praised as being not far from the kingdom. Matthew’s treatment of the incident ‘is in keeping with his pronounced anti- pathy to the Pharisees. This is especially noticeable in the scribe’s asking the question, trying him. Jesus had already shown his im- patience with the Pharisees (18) for making trial of him. Give Large Sums of Money for Me- dical Research. In giving $1,075,000 for the foundation and endowment of me- dical research fellowships Mr. Otâ€" to Beit has followed the example of several millionaires who have proved themselves public benefac- tors. The largest gift to the medi- cal world on record was the $6,â€" 000,000 which was bequeathed to the Pasteur Institute by the late M. Osiris, under peculiar circumstanc- es. M. Osiris, who was a. rich Jew, founded in 1903 a. triennial prize of $20,000 to be bestowed on “the per- son WhO' had rendered the great- est service to the human raoe durâ€" ing the three preceding years.” The‘ prize was awarded to Dr. Roux, the head of the Pasteur In- stitute, for the discovery of the “anti-diphtheria serum.” M. Os< iris was much astonished to learn that Dr. Roux had made over the whole of the money to the institute of which he was the head. The millionaire said nothing at the time but at his death it was found that he had left the bulk of his wealth to the Pasteur Institute as a token of admiration for‘ the scientific at- tainments and‘ self-abengation of Dr. Roux, One of the most philanthropic of men is Sir Ernest Cassel, who amongst other acts of generosity, gave $200,000 for the investigation of eye' diseases in Egypt and $1,- 000,000 to the Midhurst Sanatorium for Cpnsumptives; while Lord Strathcona. has given, roughly speaking, over $5,000,000 for hospi- tal work, and his cousin, Lord Mount Stephen, has been equally generous. r. Some time ago Mr. W. W. Astor gave $250,000 to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children as a fund for the building of a new out-patients’ department, to be do dioated to the memory of his little daughter, Gwendoline Astor, who had died. The late Mr. George Herring left $3,000,000 to the Hos pital Sunday Fund, while at the beginning of last year‘ $50,000 was anonymously and unconditionally. placed at he disposal of the mam agers of the Royal Institution by a. lady. The donor’s name has nev- er been revealed. When the physician arrived at the designated house he found that his patient was a. decrepit negro, who sat up in bed and inquired: “How much do yo’ charge, doc- tah ?” “Two dollars a visit. which includes my time, experience, ad- vice and the medicine.” “A poor old coon like me don’t need all de-m extras; just gib me fen cents’ wo’th 0’ yo’ cough med'cine, and dat’s enough fo’ me.” '--‘-- vâ€"mâ€"v ‘â€" qulckly “on: cont)”. cures colâ€"d; (in throat and gun;- - - - Leaâ€"ls cents. cHARLss BARRETT. no.

A fresh complexion and a clear, smooth skin are promised by a writer in the'House'keeper to those who will persist in eating certain vegetables; “It is hard,” says this agthority, “to select the most valuable from among tom-atoes,. carrots, lettuce, onion-s and cucum- bers. “Tomatoes, acting upon both liv- er and kidneys, will clear the skin wonderfully. If the eyeballs have that annoying yellowish tings that comes from a sluggish liver a gen- erous breakfast dish of raw toma- toes with as little condiments as your palate permits will soon re- store the clear white. This juicy vegetable applied directly to the skin readily removesrustains and sunburn, and even freckles if not of long standing. “Carrots, raw and cooked, are invaluable, for carrots make good red blood. I have seen the most beautiful clear, creamy complex- ion directly traceable to a carrot diet. Even a naturally pale com- plexion takes on a faint undertone of‘pink. ,“Many find cucumbers difficult of digestion, and perhaps their best results follow outward application. They make an excellent whitener and sopr and refine the skin. Peel, cut in long slices and rub the juicy slices over face, neck and arms. Allow to dry into the skin, washing off afterward with clear tepid water. With frequent treat- ment in this manner the skin deâ€" velops a. most delicate satiny »te.x- ture. “Lettuce and celery are excel- lent for the nerves; eaten in quan- tities they brighten the eyes and help clear the skin. Onions, poor plebeian onions, have the ‘same ef‘ feet and are beneficiaLin a dozen other ways. - “If one needs flesh,.building up the general health is the only ef- fective method. Plumpness de- pends largely upon. digestion. Po- tatoes are recommendedâ€"or con- demned, as the requirement may be â€"as a, fat producer. But it all de- pends upon one’s facility for di- gesting that particular starch. “Those who fatten on potatoes usually have a. tendency to acquiré flesh anyway. Rice furnishes a more easily digested starch. arm sweet potatoes ,and‘pqrsnips will be far more likely to’lfatten the very thin girl. Déep breathing will do wonders for a. hollow chest and throat. “Olive oil taken internally has a tendency to fill out and smooth the skin. Sometimes there is a. sort of scaly roughness on one’s skin that stubbornly resists all local applica- tions. A teaspoonful of olive all taken alone or with lettuce or to- matoes once a day will entirely re- move this condition if used faith~ fully.” SUMMER TIME A Summer time is a. time of danger to all babiesâ€"but more especially to those living in the towns and cit- ies where the heat is so excessive as to make it almost impossible to keep baby’s Iood 1n proper conditlon. It is then that the little one suffers from those stomach and bowel troubles that carry off so many preâ€" cious little lives. During the sum- mer the mother must be especially. careful to keep baby’s stomach sweet and pure and his bowels movâ€" ing regularly. No other medicine will be of such great aid to mothers in summer as Baby’s Own Tablets. These little Tablets never fail to re- gulate the bowels; sweeten the sto- mach and make baby well and hap- py. Mrs. D. Devlin, St. Sylvester East, Que, says: “I think Baby’s Own Tablets are theâ€" best medicine for little ones for stomach and bowel troubles and I would not be without them." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine 00., Brockville, Ont.

GI BiggiT’S Oatmeal Cookies Helpâ€"Almost every one is fond of oatmeal cook- ies, but there is one thing disliked by many, that is the un zooked taste that the oatmeal has if not ground. I have learned by experience that by using the coarsest knife on your 'food chopper and grinding the oat- meal through it improves the cookâ€" iesvery much. This dies not .pul ‘verize the oatmeal, but makes the grains finer and distributes the flex.â€" vor more evenly, and they never have that uncooked taste. Below is my favorite recipe: One cup shortening, half lard and half but- ter; one large cupful 0. sugar creamed with butter, two eggs well beaten, nine tablespoonfuls sour milk, one scant teaspoonfnl soda dissolved in milk, one teaspoonful cinnamon, half‘te-aspoonful nutmeg, pinch of salt; oneâ€"half cupful chopâ€" ped nut meats; one cupful chopped raisins, one small teaspoonful bak- ing powder sifted with two cups flour.
