The Story of a Bell.

At the beginning of the last century
the only church bell at Grosslaswitz,
Germany, was so small that its tones
were not sufficient to penetrate to the
ends of the village. A second bell was
badly wanted, but the village was poor,
and where was the money to come from?
One Sunday, whe1 the school master,
Gottfried Hayn, was going to church, he
noticed growing out of the church yard
wall fiourishing green stalk of corn,
the seed of which must have been
dropped by a passing bird. The idea
suddenly struck him that perhaps this
one stalk of corn could be made the
means of procuring the second bell they
wanted so much. He waited till the
corn was ripe, and then he plucked the
six ears on it and sowed them in his own
garden. The next year he gathered the
little crop thus produced and sowed it
again, till at last he had not enough
room in his garden for the crop, and SO
he divided it among a certain number of
farmers, who went on sowing the ears
until, in the eighth year, the crop was
SO large that when it was put together
and sold they found that they had money
enough to buy beautiful bell.

TEACHING POINTS.

a. V.23 "a. 1t is now popular to denounce the
Pharsaic spirit in the Interpretation of the Sabbath
But at best only small remnant of that spirit Is
left in America.-The Puritan Sunday in New
England is completely thing of the past. Scarcely
any restraint is now put upon recreations, and In
some places even business is but partially suspended
The Pharsaic Sunday has almost ceased to be even
a Renaissance in America.

among those who regard the example of Jesus au-
thoritative that it is lawful to do good on Sunday.
Works of mercy, of hepfuness, OF fraternity, which
are right every day, are no less right on the Sab
bath They harmonic entirely with the spirit Of
the Sunday.-It is right to worship; it is right to
teach In Sunday school; it is right to study and
recite Sunday school lessons. Against such works,
on the Sabbath,-and the list may be extended
there is no law in the nature of things-But those
who on this basis of liberty affirm that they have
the right to engage in acts of selfish amusement,
transgressing the Golden Rule as regards their
neighbors, draw conclusion not involved in the
premises. To use Sunday selhshly is to transgress
the very spirit of the day.-We are firmly per-
suaded that only religion can preserve Sunday for
the wcrkingman. If Sunday is ever SO abused by
a community as to be made curse,-and in many
an individual we have seen this done, where the
stated Sunday dissipation made drain on the
workingman, both moral and physical, more serious
than could be made by continual work-in that
community Sunday will be abolished. 1t ought to
be. The only way to keep Sunday for the working
man is to so treat it that it will deserve to remain.
Religion must be the preserving salt OF Sunday.

LESSON STORY.
L. The Sabbath of the Pharisees
to Man,-vs 20, "a.

Oppressive to Man,-vs. 20, a.
Jesus and his disciples,-the five who
had been thus far called, Peter and Philip,
James and John, the Galilean fishermen,
and Bartholomew of Cana,-were journey
ing on the Sabbath near to Capernaum.
They were probably coming from the
synagogue. This is to be inferred from
the fact which Matthew states, that they
were hungry; it being the rabbinical law,
as we are told, that no food should be par
taken on the Sabbath until after the syna-
gogue service. While it is not entirely
certain that the disciples observed the rab-
binical law,-for soon afterwards we read
of the scribes making complaint agairst
them for their disregard of the Pharisaic
fasts, yet, from the absence of mention
to the contrary, we may believe that they
were still following the custom in which
they had been bred. They had, we will
conceive, attended the morning synagogue
service; they were now on their way home.
Their way skrted one of the luxuriant
grainhelds for which the Plain of Gennes-
saret was famous. For some reason it
became necessary, or at least desirable,
that the company should pass through the
standing grain of section of the field.
This may have been necessary by the rab-
binical law, which forbade travelling on
the Sabbath beyond two thousand yards,
this length being what was called "a
Sabbath days journey" To pass around
the field might have been to make the
journey unlawful; to pass through it was
their right under the Mosaic law.
Jesus and his disciples, as they came
from the synagogue, were accompanied
or logged, we might say,-by the Phari-
sees; the same scribes we have before seen
watching Jesus, hoping to detect in him
some overt act of treason to their law.
On arriving at the place where the full
headed grain was to be trodden down, the
disciples advanced before their Master.
1t was their custom as they journeyed to
follow him, rather than precede him; but
now both their instinct and habit of court
esy led them to prepare the way for their
Master, their King. This left Jesus in the
company of the scribes.
As the disciples went into the grain, the
record tells us, AEey mads their zOay biNck-

But life is sweet even with poverty and
rheumatism and eighty years. Did her

it altogether so melancholy as it might

vices-and thriving pawnbrokers' shops.
There were parish schools also-perhaps
others; and off some dark alley, in
room on the ground floor, could be heard
the strident noise of education going on
in high.voiced study and recitation.
Nor were amusements lacking notices
of balls, dancing this evening, and ten
cent shows in palaces of legerdemain
and deformity.
1t was a relenting day in March;
patches of blue sky overhead, and the
sun had some quality in it's shining.
The children and the Gagged birds at the
open windows felt it and there were
notes of music here and there above the
traffic and the clamor. Turning down a
narrow alley. with gutter in the center,
attracted by festive sounds, the visitors
came into small stone paved court with
a hydrant in the center, surrounded by
tall tenement houses. in the windows of
which were stuffed the garments that
would no longer hold together to adorn
the person. Here an italian girl and boy
with guitar aud violin, were recalling
la bella Napoli, and couple of pretty
girls from the court were footing it mer-
lily as if it were the grape harvest. A
woman opened lower room door and
sharply called to one of the dancing
girls to come in, when Edith and the
doctor appeared at the bottom of the
alley; but her tone changed when she
recognized the doctor, and she said, by
way of apology, that she didn't like her
daughter to dance before strangers. So
the music and the dance went on, even
little tots of girls and boys shutting
about in stiff legged fashion, with ap-
plause from all the windows, and at last
a largess of pennies-as many as five al
together-for the musicians. And the
sun fell lovingly upon the pretty scene.
But then there we're the sweaters dens,
and the private rooms were half dozen
pale-faced tailors stitched and pressed

and steaming cloth; rooms where they

ave can," says Edersheim, Imagine
the scene in that synagogue. The place
is crowded. Christ occupies prominent
position as leading the prayers or teach
ing: position whence he can see, and be
seen by all. Here, eagerly bending for
ward, are the dark faces of the Pharisees,
expressive of curiosity, malice, cunning.
They are looking round at man whose
right hand is withered, perhaps putting
him forward, whispering, is it lawful to
heal on the Sabbath-day.' The Lord
takes up the challenge. He bids the man
stand forth, right in the midst of them,
where they might all see and hear. BY
one of those telling appeals which go
straight to the conscience, he puts the
analogous case of poor man who was in
danger of losing his only sheep on the
Sabbath; would he not rescue it, and was
not mar better than sheep? Nay, did

the word had been spoken. A fresh life
had streamed into it, as, following the
Saviour's eye and word, he slowly stretched
it forth. And as he stretched it forth his
hand was restored"
The Saviour had broken their Sabbath
law; and yet he had not broken it. For
neither by reno dy, nor touch, nor outward
application, had he healed him. He had
broken the Sabbath-rest as God breaks it,
when he sends or sustains or restores life,
or does good. They had all seen it, this
miracle of almost new creation. AS they
saw it Uuke) they 7oere .flled 7eiH mad
ness. They went forth to conspire with
the Herodians,-the recreant Jews who
were favorable to the dominance of Rome
over their nation,-that they might entrap
and destroy the new teacher who had
made their falsity SO apparent, and had
hitherto baffled all their evil designs.
BY this teaching of Jesus we are not
left in doubt that he absolved all his fol-
lowers from the yoke of the Pharisaic Sab
bath.
His disciples, in the wise use of the free
dom which he achieved for them, changed
the Mosaic Sabbath to Sunday,-abro-
eating the Seventh Day as one set apart,
which had celebrated the completed work
of creation; instituting in its place the
First Day, the SUNDAY, thereby celebrat-
ing Christs rising, and the beginning of
his spiritual reign in the earth.
Christians are even absolved from the
Mosaic Law of the Sabbath But there
can be no dissolution from the law of the
Sabbath which is written in the nature of
man.
To learn what the real Sabbath is,-to
wisely use ito faithfully preserve and
transmit it to posterity,-t are vital
points in the unsettled Sunday problem.
