GOLDEN TEXT-"! came not to cal the righteous but sinners." Mark 1:17. The first section of our lesson Is th beginning of a new paragraph (set R. V.) and contains ono of tho Mas ter's best-known parables. Immedi ately preceding this Is the parablo of the unjust judge and tho lmportunato widow. Wo are plainly told (v. 9) why tho Master spako this parablo. It Is easy to say that thoeo who trust ed In their own righteousness and "set all otherB at naught" (R. V.) were the Pharisees, but such is not tho case; and this parable is a warning to us, lest we also trust our own righteous ness (Isa. 64:6). Uaing this particu lar class as a background, Jesus paints, In words of simple grandeur, a picture quite familiar throughout the ages. In it he reveals tho falseness of human standards and declares the judgment- of heaven. The contrast is vivid. Let us look at (1) the Pharl see. Tho illuminating phrase is In the words "ho prayed with himself" - (v. 11). Ostentatiously tho Pharisees separated themselves from their fel low men and this separation seems to have extended even into his prayer life, and ho is withdrawn from God also. This is an appalling picture of the man who trusts only himself. Examine his prayer and we see tho supposed prayer is really a paean of self-exaltation. Humility of Heart (2) The Publican regarded himself as "tho sinner" (v. 13 R. V. marg.). Ho knew ho was a great, an irrelig ious offender against law and grace. He had sacrificed everything to ac quire money. Ho comes with no out ward show except an abundant evi dence of tho ehame and humility of his heart. JIo also was excluded from men but not from God. Burdened with tho sense of his sin, ho casts' him self upon the mercy of God. He is absolutely devoid of any trust in him self, any contempt for others, and makes a straight, earnest, passionate abandonment of himself and his need to God. He goes away "justified" (judged right). Why? Because he had taken tho right place, a sinner's place beforo God, and found pardon. II. The Second Section is a story and deals with an individual case, Zac cheus, who was a "chief Publican." Jesus Bought him (see Golden Text), whereas Zaccheus was animated by curiosity, and the writer informs us he was small of stature, hence the necessity of climbing the eycamoro tree. He went up the tree because of curiosity, he came down because of conviction. He wanted to see this man in the center of th6 crowd and was amazed to hear Jesus call him by name. Mutt Yield Wealth. Zaccheus was rich, dishonest, dissat Isfled, but desperately in earnest, and a man of prompt decision. The esti mation of bis fellow-citizens is indi cated by v. 7. Notwithstanding all of this Zaccheus was not so wedded to his money as to let it keep him out of the kingdom. In chapter 18 we road of the rich man who "lacked ono thing." He was lost "went away" because ho would not yield his wealth (see also 18:26, 27). What took placo within the house of Zaccheus we ore not told, but for the Master to enter was looked upon either as amazing ignorance of Zaccheus' character or else extreme caxeleBsnesB concerning the maintenance of his own character. Jesus was dealing with ono man, mot the multitude, hence he leaves them to their amazement While this is true, yet wo can surmise something of that interview by the result (v. 8) for Zac cheus 'seems to have made a publlo ' avowal of bis ethical and moral change of heart. Note the steps: (1) He "sought to see Jeaus," John 3:14, 16; Isa. 45:22. (2) He was very much in earnest, "climbed a sycamore tree," Luke 13:24. (3) He" made no delay, "mako haste" Isa. 56:6. Tho result was that, of great blessing to tho people and joy In tho heart of Zaccheus. (4) He woe obedient, joy ously and promptly. The genuineness of his transformation was evidenced by the way It affected his pocketbook. JIo mado abundant restitution and gave bountifully to tho poor. Tho lovo of God shed abroad in tho heart of a miserly, selfish man or church will promoto honesty both to God and man. From tho combined parable and .story we con read tho lesson that Je sus 1b the friend of- sinnera and not of sin. Thus the friend of sinners seeks and saves men. Ho seea tho acta and the attitude of men and is ready to justify those whoso attitude 1b that of humil ity and supplication. He seeks men. oven as ho sought Zaccheus, and as he eaves bo produces in them thoso fruits of righteousness which nro the evidence and demonstration of their salvation. The scribes and tho Phari sees saw Jesus eating with tho publi- Icons and expressed this disapproving surprlso only to receive his rebuke. l"Thoy that are whole have no need ol a phyBlclan, but they that nro sick: I oame not to call the rlghteo'" " AT THE BOOKING M OFFICE Lnwr OFF-STAGE COMEDIES h Will Bradshaw mt LEILA WAS JUST A DAY LATE.

A jail Is a place where people go when they are too poor to get ball or hire the right kind of a lawyer. The object of a jail is to protect so ciety from amateur criminals until they have been In jail long enough to become Incurable. They are then let loose in order that the newspapers may be able to print enough informa tion about their activities to keep up their circulation. Jails are usually made out of stone and Iron. The atone, which Is pur posely thick, Is used 'to keep out the rain and to protect the prisoners from sunshine and fresh air. The iron Is used to enter their souls with.

When, at Gaines Mill In 1862, the 6th Texas captured two whole regi ments of Union soldiers, tho Toxans were alf very proud of their achieve ment. One of them has described an amusing scene In connection with the surrender. ' Whontho Union .Officers gave up their swords to Col. Upton, thoy were so prompt In the duty that he was compelled to lay down the frying pan which he carried In the place of a sword and hold the weapons presented In his arms. Just then he noticed a commotion at the far end of the captured regiments. That was near the timber, and a squad of the prisoners were making an ef fort to pass by "Big John" Ferris of Company B, who stood there unaided, endeavoring to Intercept them. Springing upon a log, tho armful ot swords dangling about in every direc tion, Upton shouted: "John Ferris, what are you trying to do now?" "I am trying to keep thoso fellows from escaping," yelled Big John. "Let them go, you fool!" shouted back Upton. "We'd rather fight than feed them!" Followed Her Vanished Nest This story of a thrush that missed, and caught Its train comos from Lima vady, In Ulster, Ireland. The bird had built its nest under a first-class car riage Immediately over tho steam heat ing pipe, and notwithstanding that the carriage traveled between Llmavady and Londonderry, the nest contained four eggs. The institution of the summer serv ice of trains caused trouble Tho car riage left Londonderry In the evening at 4:40 instead of 4:50, and whon the mother thrush, who had presumably been on a foraging expedition, re turned, she found carriage, nest and eggs had disappeared. Sho was no ticed at Londonderry in apparent dis tress, and tho station master apprised Llmavady of the circumstances and asked the railway peoplo thero to look out for tho bird, suggesting that sho would probably arrlvo by tho next train. Tho bird duly arrived at Llma vady either by train or air and re sumed her task of hatching tho eggs. The sympathetic railway officials havo decided to withdraw tho carriage from service pending the hatching of tho eggs. He Was Right. "Money won't buy happiness, my dear."
