Early Race of Men.

By the measurement of skulls Prof.
Sergi thinks that he has established the
existence of an early race of men whom
he calls the Mediterranean. They arose
in the mountains of Abyssinia, spread
over Egypt and the north coast of Africa
reaching to the Canary Islands. Spain,
Italy, Switzerland, Great Britain and
Ireland, the greater part of France,
Greece, Asia Minor, Syria, and the coun-
try about the Black sea. In later times
branches of this race came to Europe
from Asia Minor, and became known as
Pelasgi and EtIuscans. The Utilities
belonged to the same stock. Their skin
was brownish, their hair and eyes black,
and their skulls Of peculiar shapes,
which Prof. Sergi subdivided into clip
sold, ovoid. pentsgonsl. rhomboid, Gu
poid. sphenoid and the like. The race
in Northern Italy, France. and Britain
was driven west by the coming Of the
Kelts.

TEACHING POINTS.

INTRODUCToRY.-The healing of the woman
was, on the face of the event, a waysde work of
Jesus. He paused on the way to Jairus' house
that he might give peace to the afflicted one.
But, no less, when we consider the fact that
Jesus was now deprecating the spread of his
fame as Healer that he might give all his re-
naming time TO the teaching and training of
his discipes,-we find that the raising of the
daughter of Jairus itself was a wayside work.
How full of saving influences was ChIist's life.
To touch his garment was to feel his healing
power. To gain his attention in one of the
pauses of his crowded life was to find redemp-
ton through his grace.
~ " 43-4S The Invalid Healed The out
cast, despairing life of the woman made her
courageous She was, at the same time. gen.
erous she would not render Jesus "unclean''
by her touch.-The recognition by the Master
of her touch, which had even then become an
answered prayer, is illustrative of the Divine
Intelligence which answers all real prayer. We
should pray to our Father; not alone to Law
The woman was brave in overcoming her reluc-
lance to confess the benefit she had received
from the Healer We may be sure she never
ceased to confess and praise Jesus.-Jesus
was a conductor of the Spirit to the woman's
life. He did not claim to do this work of him.
self. Thy faith hath saved thee.
(2.) " 1856. Raising Jarus' Daughter.
This is one of the bestattested New Testament
narratives; three Evangelists unite in testifying
to its truth.--The father, not the ruler of the
synagogue. made an appeal to Christ She was
an only child; she was twelve years old, when
womanhood in Oriental countries is thought to
begin; she had endured wasting sickness, and
was now apparently near the end. These are
the sorrowful circumstances. Because Jairus
was a ruler of the synagogue, representative
man, and overcame his prejudice and came to
Jesus the prominence in the narrative is given
to him, the father. But three words.-"and her
mother'-lneidentall occurring in the narrative
suggest grief and heartache surely not less than
the father's.-Jesus does not, here or else
where, show favor to the custom of excessive
mourning, which makes death unnaturally
dreadful.-In the exercise of exceptional spir-
itual power 10 calling the spirit of the girl back
to the body or hack to consciousness. Jesus
needed the help of sympathetic and believing
friends The exceptional spiritual power
which enabled him to himself return to the
companiOnship of bis disciples after his cruel
fixion now enabled him to recall a dead one to
life.-Jesus was able to work marvels of heal
ing and restoration, was regardful of the laws
which govern bodily health. He saw that the
restored girl needed the nourishment of food.
Jesus recognized and encouraged all the
real faith he saw in the world. Does he find
real faith In the world to-day?

LESSON STORY.

Jesus encouraged all the faith he
found in the world. He wasted no IA
vor on the Journalists. He left them to
whatever reward they could gain from
their selfish almsgiviug. their ostenta-
tious fasting, their prayers offered to be
heard of men. He did not like these
empty Journalists, and they naturally did
not like him. But for every one he
found possessing real faith he had fell
lowship. They might be crude in their
theology; but he knew that they had a
vital hold on God. He knew them by
the magnet of his own faith. He ap-
proved and encouraged their faith, and
by it's power brought to the possessors
unusual benefits.
Our last lesson showed how Jesus
found surprisingly intelligent and gen.
erous faith in Gentle centurion. Our
lesson today will show how he found
real faith in ruler of the Capernaum
synagogue, who belonged to the class
which had now pronounced enmity
against him; also in shrinking and
long suffering woman belonging to a
class regarded as chemically unclean
under the Jewish Law.
There is a distinctiveness and large,
ness of meaning in the statement that
Jesus encouraged faith.
1t is probable that Jesus was at the
farewell feast which Matthew was Civ
ing to his neighbors on his entrance to
his apostolate. Jairus, the ruler of the
synagogue, feverishly rushes into his
presence. Jairus is probably one of the
elders who had a short time before
come to Jesus in behalf Of the centuri-
on. He believes in Jesus; he breaks the
trammels of his official position and
dares the enmity of the scornful scribes
that he may. in his dire need, confess his
faith. He filings himself at Jesus feet
and tells in broken words his anguished
story. His daughter. his only daughter,
now twelve years of age, just entering
into early womanhood, is sick. is dying,

human, elected to give testimony to the
hidden yet vital occurrences in his min
istry.
AS Jesus led the parents and the three
disciples into the house. they found that
preparations for the funeral had been
already begun. Such is the custom in
the East, where burial follows almost
Immediately after death. Minstrels had
come; the fute-players we're there; the
professional mourners we're present in
force. These we're all hireling mourners.
To come to the house of synagogue
ruler was an opportunity for profit none
of them would miss. They filed the
house with their dirge-music, their walls
and cries. 1t was the custom to do this;
it was done under the delusion that it
gave relief to the pent grief of the real
mourners.
Jesus, with the confidence which
brought sudden calm, said to the real
mourners, apparently ignoring utterly
the presence of the hirelings, Weep not;
for she is not dead, but sleepeth.
What could Jesus mean? We per-
ceive that he compared death to sleep;
that, as sleep is followed by waking, so
will death be followed by an awakening
to life beyond. But to the profession
al mourners these words we're new and
strange. They were too familiar with
death ever to mistake it for sleep. Jesus
had come to deprive them OF profitable
professional work. They we're silent for
moment with astonishment; then they
broke forth anew, but this time in deri-
sive cries, which rose even to scornful
and unseemly laughter, against the self
assumed Teacher who, while under ban
of the scribes, absurdly declared that the
dead girl was sleeping.
We retain in Luke's record, on the au-
thority of Matthew and Mark, the state
ment which the Revisers omit: He put
them all out. 1t is what he ought to
have done; we can readily believe it is
what he did.
The six were now alone with the
body. 1t is an impressive moment.
"The still room; the white form of the
dead girl; the group of five with tear
dimmed eyes standing around the loving
Master, the Master bending over the
dead, the far off look in his face"
Then he, taking her By the hand,
called, saying. Maiden. arise. These
words are afterward recalled by Peter
and recorded by Mark, in their original
Aramaic form, Talitha cuni. Who that
heard them could ever forget them?
And her spirit returned, and she rose
up Immediately.
Can this be scientifically explained?
No more than it can be scientifically ex-
planned why the sun quickens the seed
in the ground.
But that this miracle is in harmony
with nature is proved by what follows:
He commanded that something be give7a
her to eat. The wonder work Of Jesus
did not preclude the need of the maiden
after an emaciating sickness, being
nourished by common daily food.

The central purpOrt of the Cos
mel is encouragement and reinforce
ment of faith. The faith which the Cos
mel inculcates has it's roots in our own
inalienable natures would
be- says Newman Smyth, an almost
impossible task for us to disentangle all
faith in things divine and eternal from
the elements of our self-consciousness.
Our reasons have their roots in the di-
vine. If these primal beliefs in God
and Immortality were simple results OF
argument, we might reason ourselves
out of them. But they are elements OF
rational and conscious life; SO that we
cannot separate them wholly from our
selves. Atheists, after all, can only
make believe not to believe. These ele-
mentary spiritual faiths are not colors
laid on our life; they are among the
threads of which life itself is woven, in
separable from our life.consciousness.
The man, therefore, who proposes not to
have any faith, sets before himself the
difficult task of unravelling his own life,
and unmaking his own rational soul.
--"Equally difficult would it prove
for any man to make good in his own
mind the boast shallow men sometimes
utter, Il will believe only what can un-
derstand' AS a matter of fact every
man does believe vastly more than he,
or any one on the face of the earth, ever
understood. You believe in oxygen, by
drogen, electricity, and the ultimate
particles and forces of matter; you do
not understand them any more than you
understand what the wings OF angels
may be made Of. ALI thought, after a
few scientific measurements and expert
mental steps, leads straight out into the
divine and eternal mystery in which our
whole world Of knowledge lies ensphered.
Every man carries about in himself a
world of mystery which he knows but
in part. Our best thoughts, which min
lister most to our life and love, come to
us like the angels which appeared by
the patriarch's tent, we know not
whence or how. We know only that
they are with us, and that in their con-
versation, life seems holy and happy
thing. You say you will conduct your
life only under the light of perfectly
comprehensive and clear ideas. But
that portion OF your thought which is
clear to you as MONDAY, like the noon
day has before it and after it its morn
ing and its evening-its hour of dim, I'M
certain dawn, and its setting again in
universal mystery. A man who tries to
sail across this life to the other I'M
known shore without faith, has much
more serious task to perform upon him
self than simply to unload himself OF so
many accumulated beliefs. He may
throw overheard human traditions; but
to get rid of faith he must not stop with
the cargo. He will have to hew at the
knees of the ship. In fact, he will have
to take out the keel. For all our know
ledge, and all our life. 80 richly fur
nished, are built up on faith, as the
ship is built into the keel."-Ihe Re-
ality of Faith.
