The nl.jeef of th e gospel is to declare the thing* which were \ n o s t *u re I v be lie v e ,\ (vers* 1 ) concerning J.*sus.

As to th e ir standing before Q ,1 \ they w ere both righteous on the principle of A b raham ’* rlghteom n e s s (Gen. xv.. 6: Rom. iv. 3). All who a re trulv in C h rist a re righteous in Him, and ihis per'eat s tanding before God is nn- dm n g e able (Rom. x.. 4: I I Cor. v.. 2 1 ; Isa. Ixl.,50). 7. \And they had no ehild. because “Ib a t. Elizabeth wns barren, and they both were now well s tr iek-n in years.\ When n a tu r e fails, then th e hand of the Lord is m ade - m o re m a n ifest, as in th e ease of Ra-ab, Rachel, H a n n a h and M a n o a h 's wife. It is written of Abraham th a t he considered not his own body, nor S a r a h 's body, but only th * p rom ise of-God. \being fully persuaded lhat what H» had prom ised He was a b le also to perforin\ (Rom. Iv.. 10-21). W hen all pos sibility as far as hum a n ev»** can see is taken awav. then th e r e is opportunity for the Lord to m a g n ify Hi* nam e th a t He m a y bo glorified. 8. \ l i e executed the priests’ office before G o d .\ The tw o w o rds \before G o d \ cover about everything th a t concerns us. In C h rist we a re righteous before God, and us to o u r daily life we m ight take the w ord to Abraham , \W a lk before me an d ho thou per fect o r sincere of u p r ig h t\ (Gen. xvll., 1). Tho priests’ office is fully stated In II Chron. xxix.. 14. \T h e Lord hath chosen you to stand before Him to serve Him, and t h a t ye should m inister unto Him and burn in cense.\ C h rist becam e o u r High P riest by the things Ho suffered; we aro now in tra in ing for future priesthood. 9. \H is lot w as to burn incense.\ In Ps. J exit.. 2. we read: \L e t my p rayer l»« set forth before T h e e us incense, and th e lifting i up of rnv hands a* th e evening sacrifice.\ And in Rov. vii., 3, 4, we rend of incense of- ! fere 1 with the prayers of saints. T h \ incense I Is suggestive of th e m e rits of J e s u s Christ by | which alone anything we do can be accepted ! before God. but by which tho feeblest ser- 1 vice in His N am e is accepted. 10. \A n d th e whole m u ltitude of the people were w a v in g w ithout at the tim o of incense.” The tim e of incense when the people w we praying w ithout while they w a ited for th e priest to return to them is suggestive of this w hole age (hiring which our High Pcie-t has gone into the presence of God for us and we continue in prayer, aw a iting Ilis retu r n . He ever livcth to m a k e intercession for us and says to us, \B e c a u se I live, ye s h a ll live also\ (John xiv.. 19>. 11. \A n d there appeared unto him an angel of th e L o rd, standing on the right side of th e a lta r of incense.” T h e angel’s nam e was G abriel, which m e a n s \G o d is m ighty.” He is tw ice m e n tioned in Daniel as G o d ’s mes>engcr to him (Dan. viii., 1 6 ; ix., 21). He afterw a rd cam e to Nazareth i with a message for M ary (verses 26. 27). 12. \A n d when Zaehnria9 paw him , he i was troubled find foil upon him .\ W« m ight conclude from Ju d g e s xiil., 22, that there w as a superstition th a t th e appear- I ciplos were afraid in tho boat, or tho women at th e sepulcher (M a rk vi., 49, 60; xvi., 5). Mary does not seem to have been troubled by his visit, b u t rath e r by w h a t he at first said (verse 29). 13. \R u t th e angel said unto him , Fear | not, Zncharlnft; for th y p rayer is h e a r d .\ In verso 30 it is \F e a r not, M a ry,\ and from Gen. xv., 1, to Rev. i.. 17. it m ight alm o st be said to bo a prolonged \F e a r n o t.\ All G o u’f thoughts to H is people a r e thought* of peace (Jer. xxix., 11), a n d confidence in Him will alw a y s give quietness (Isa. xx.v., 15). John | is one of tho seven in Scripture who are j m e n tioned hv nam e ha fore their birth; the others b e ing ishm a e l, Isaac, Solom on, Josifth. | Cyrus a n d Jesu*. *t I n w o n d e rful, b u t true, | th a t God cho sea us before wo a re born (Jer. i.t 6; Epb. I.. 4). 14. \A n d thou shalt have joy and glad ness, and m any shall rejoice at his b ir th .’' Light is sown for tho righteous and glad ness for tho upright in heart (P h . xevil., 11). W hen Mordocai was exalted, the Jew s had light and gladness and joy and honor (Est. viii., 16). W hen Jesus shall be exalted a* I K ing of Israel and King of kings and Lord of i lords, th e days of Israel’s m o u r n ing s h a ll bo ended. They shall obtain joy and gladness, I and sorrow and sighing s h a ll flee a w a y (Isa. j lx., 20; xxxv., 10). The soul that now r«- celvos J e s u s can say. \T h o u hast put glad- i ness iu mv h e a r t\ (Ps. iv., 7). 15. \H e .shall be great In the sight of the L o rd; he s h a ll be filled w ith th e Holy Ghost J ’ | This is surelv th e Hururuit for any m o rtal i muu. Jesus H im self said th a t no greater i prophet was e v e r born of wom an th a n John th e B a p tist. To b* filled w ith th e Holy ! 8pirit is the key to all tru e service, an 1 to i hear our L o rd’s \W e ll done\ must bo the highest rew a rd. But let u* reinem b e r that John was not great in the sight of all people and finally lost hi* life for his faithfulness to God. , . 10. \A n d m a n y of the children of Israe shall he tu r n to tho Lord th e ir G o d .\ H* th a t w inpeth souls is wiau, and they that tu r n m a n y to righteousness shall shine a? tho s tars forever a n d over (Prov. xi., 30; Dan. x i l ., 3 b The lives of tho b e lievers a rc eithet tu r n in g other* to G o l o r a w ay from God.

The Spirit tnrough Mjilscbi said th a t Elijah would come, to do certain thing* before the great and dreadful dav of t h - L - r d (M ah tv.. 5). but Johu said that he was not Elijah (Jo h n 1 21) and after John \v«< slain Jc-ai* sai 1 that E lja h would tru ly Irst come.

That he had asked her to m erry him, ercn before the break with H im Lanstun,was certain, b a t whether th e bad eaid yes or no, nobody was nbln to aay. H e r manner to him was the same as before—a brilliant coquetry th a t b e longed to her alone—and nobody dared qneetion her. When early in the week it became known that F rancis Qreyford was com ing down from B»r H arbor to Sqnirrel Island, apparently for no better rea- ton than that Mi>e Morrys was there, those interested msde sure tb s t st last tboy would be able to solve this r i d dle. Then, the day before Mr. Qreyfol.l came, Clinton went off to New York. T h e re was a whisper that he went to bny Oreta the handsomest diamond rin g at Tiffany's, bnt those things are rarely to ho believed, and the hotel realized with a doll throb of dieap- jMiintment that now, perkap-, tho r i d dle oonld nut be solved. There we.e, of conrse, several girls ready to tell Oreyford abont Clinton, b n t he did not «cem to mind much, and only this tnoruiug he had beeu beard to ask her to go rowiog, in spite of the stormy sea, because he liked to be with her where nobody elsS' d ared go. 8 he bad laughed at him caressingly < and looked oat a t tho windswept oeean thoughtfully be'oro she answ e te d : -Y e s, let ns g o ; it will bo nn experi- , ease thet will .forever after prevent enrfaee acquaintance between us.” y J K m n .J 'f f . n A i t f f A \Y-es.

Qreyford spent the half hour she waa g e tting reedy anxiously watching (ha water. Hu was afraid he had been nnwiae in asking her to go out, but when (he came downstairs ready to go ehe waa snoh a charming picture he forgot hie anxiety. A elira figure, gowned in sa-e green, with broad collar and girdle of white, ebe held a green hat, with white clovers on it, in her band and lot the brisk breeze stir her bright hair into a hundred little nngtete around her faoe. -. At they strolled down .the sandy road to the brack Greta touched again on (be theme they had been diacuse- ing. “ Thero are, after, all,\ eho eaid, “ faw men who are net common place.\ “ No men ie always commouplace,” ba replied, gravely. “ Thero are times in (ha life of even the nioet ordinary m an when he is nunsnal. Those tbiugs depend too much on environm ent to generalize abont them .” She gave him a surprised glance, whleb he did not notice, for they were , eloae to the beach now aud hie eyse were on the sea. “ Wonld you thiuk me very com monplace it 1 were to tell you tb s t it will be most unwise for ns to row round the iilaud to-dav?” “ Yea, I should,\ the auswereJ, j teraely. , H a frowned impatiently. “ I should n ot have asked you to go.

I can swim, quite well, too, end think how exoitiog it will be out : in the mi n t of tbst angry w a ter!\ “ I do not like tho responsibility,” ho observed. She threw beak her head and looked at him through half-closed lids. ' ‘How does i t feel to be s 'raid?\ He gave her e wrathful glance and moved away to the loug, narrow boi.t waiting ou tbe Oeech.
