HOME IS THE FOUNDATION OF THE sTATl

The home is the foundation of the state. Home, where good woman's in- duence is supreme; where children are born and trained in morality and held in wholesome restraint is the germ of civil government. Home, where 8 miniature government IS established, where real father presides and administers wisely with mild frmness, and genuine mother is the central figure and object of afTec- tion for the little col0ny-the fathers prime minister-and the scions are .loyaI to home, is the fostering place of loyalty to civil government, the birth place of patriotism.
 Where the home is pure-all homes- and kept pure, there is hope for stability of government. Cherish toe home. Maintain home restraint and home loyal ty, and good citizenship is assured,
 The true woman, intelligent, tender of of spirit, conscientious, with genius for motherhood, gradually gathering sons and daughters around her, and consecrat- ing her energies and devOting her life to insuring their good; watching away every budding evil, and fostering every good, teaching them the duties and re- responsibilities of life, ever planting good seed and watering every tender shoot of virtue with motherly affection and en- eouragement, becomes in sense a holy temple in which dwells the spirit of ma- tronly virtues and herself an oracle whom her loyal offspring consult in all troubles, and whom they worship as one worthy of all adoration, till they themselves be- come another temple in which the mother worships; and they together be- come a holy association united bY ties of love and sacred kinship. Such worship is not idolatry. Such mother yields an influence that no woman with mere civil suffrage and participation in public affairs can wield--a thousand times more. Such mothers give to the world the statesmen that found nations. Such mothers impress the minds that impress

The Memorial supper is one OF
the marvels of history The story OF
it's beginning is this: Jesus at the close
of the Jewish Passover Supper took
bread from the table and declared it to
be, as a symbol of course, his body; he
also filled cup with the grape juice
which was the customary and harmless
drink of his period, and declared it to be-,
as a symbol his blood. He blessed the
bread and the cup; he gave to his
Twelve; they all partook. He said,
This do in remembrance of me-
Marvellous memorial! Other leaders
have at great cost erected pyramids,
stone piles, mausolems, for their monu-
ments. Jesus, for his monument, simply
asked of his disciples that they partake
of an inexpensive supper.-HOw long
will this Memory Supper of Jesus con-
tinue in the earth? We cannot measure
it's future. 1t will, we may be sure, con-
tinue longer than granite can Withstand
the atmosphere, or marble be kept from
the tooth of time. 1t will remain, we
will say, as long as love and loyalty shall
prompt its observance.

and to wipe them with the towel where
with he was girded." John ID: 3-5).
While the disciples silently behold their
Master dignity to heroism task they
had despised. they finally and complete
ly learn that greatness is to be found in
service.
In the atmosphere charged with the
influence of this object-lesson, Jesus
said to his disciples, The kings of the
Gemtiles haze lordship oUer them: and
they that haze authority over them are
called Benefactors. But ye shall not be
so: but he that is the greater among
yoat, let him become as the younger; and
he that is CHIEF. as he that doth serve.
Serving others is the supreme duty
in Christ's kingdom, He who truly and
self-forgetfully serves is the greatest in
the kingdom of heaven. The humblest
spirit is divinely greatest. To be a true
servant is to be Christlike.
Jesus tempered his condemnation
with appreciation of the steadfastness
with which his disciples had hitherto
followed him in his trials. The bruised
reed he would not break. And he prom
ised them their reward. Ioppoint unto
you kingdom. he says. even as mig
Father appointed unto me. Theirs is
to be kingdom LIKE HIS OWN, which is
not of this world. They are to have fell
lowship with him in his work of redemp-
ton. They shall eat and drink at his
table in his spiritual kingdom.
The Supper he had just instituted was
typical of his meaning. They shall be
kingly in spiritual power. Ye shall SIT
ON thrones judging the tacelve tribes of
Israel. Those wayfaring men, under
their Lord, have in truth now become
the real rulers of the real Israel. From
their spiritual thrones, in confederation
with all who lead the world in right
eousness, they now rule the world.

MARY was espoused to Joseph, before
= Ithey came together, she was found With

10 Then Joseph her husband, being a
lust man, and not willing to make her
Ipublick example, was minded to put her
away privily.
20 But while he thought on these things,
behold, the angel of the Lord appeared
sunto him in a dream, saying, 10 seph,
thou son of Da' vid, fear not to take unto
thee Mary thy wife: for that which is
aconceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
y, 81 And she shall bring forth a son, and
. thou shalt call his name sJE'SUS; for he
q shall save his people from their sips.
% Now all this was done, that it might

I Lord by the prophet, saying,
% Behold, "a virgin shall be with child,
! and shall bring forth son, and sthey
shall call his name Em-man u-el, which
being interpreted is, God with us.

TEACHING POINTS.

INTRODUCTION. The strife among the dis
ciples, which of them should be accorded the
primacy, was especially out of place at the Fare
well Supper. They knew not what they did.
a. v. 2lsO. The self-seekers corrected.
The desire to be mnistered unto is human and
common; it is however of the earth and earthly.
The endeavor to appear better than others; will
lingness to shine even with borrowed light;
pleasure in praise not deserved; selfish pride in
family; the forfeiture of principle for popularity
what a brood of evils is this In our modern
life.-To have an ambition to make the best of
ones self that be may the better minister; to
serve others in sincere friendship; to unselfshy
serve the causes which promote human we'll
being; to devote the life to ministry in forget
fulness of self; to lose the life to ignoble ends
and find it again in the wel-being of others
this is the life purpose in which soul can
thrive. 1t is to have fellowship with Jesus. 1t
is to occupy spiritual throne
(2) v.3l-s4. Peter Warned. How com.
pletely Jesus knew Peter; far better than Peter
knew himself. Jesus saw in Peter three strata of
passionate devotion, list, at that moment on the
surface, boastful devotion to himself; I'd, nextbe-
meath, habitual devotion to self and the world.
soon to reveal itself In denial and profanity Sd,
below and bottomless. heroic devotion to Forgiv-
ing Love and Saving Truth.--Peter's recovery
from his fall is no mystery when once the pres
cience and forgiveness of Christ are clearly un-
derstood. How could Peter or any one sin
against such tender, yearning, forgiving love?
(s.)V. 35-37. Warning for the Conflict with
the World. The disciples were, in few hours,
to be his sole witnesses in the world. Can our i'm
aginations conceive the difficulty of their mission
as the witnesses and champions of an unseen
Lord who had been crucifed as malefactor?
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-05-30

apostle: Do thou. achen once thou hast
turned again. stablish thy brethren. He
saw the evil in Peter which the apostle
would not acknowledge in himself; he
also saw the good in him, which under
experience OF evil would rise to domin-
ance.
Peters asseveration of constancy did
not for a moment deceive his Lord. Yet
he knew that when, from darkness and
despair, Peter turned again to his Lord,
he would have such knowledge of his
own former self. such love for his pard-
oning Redeemer, such courage for truth,
that he would be granite pillar in the
infant Church. 1t is significant that in
this solemn hour, even while he foretold
his apostasy. he should, as the only re-
corded instance, address Simon by the
name which he had himself given to
him, Peter, that is, Rock.
3. The Disciples Prepared for
TriaI,-vs. 1851.
Jesus then reminded the disciples that
their worldly inheritance can not be
ease and emolument in the kingdom of
heaven, but conflict with determined
enemies and endurance of constant de-
privations. Before when he had sent
them forth in pairs to herald his coming,
they had been everywhere received with
favor by the Messiah expecting people.
Then they needed no purse nor wallet,
nor shoes. The people were eager to
shower such gifts upon them. Now it
was tosbe different. They would be
outcasts.from recreant Israel and rebels
against pagan Rome. They would need
their own purse and wallet. They
would need swords more than cloaks.
They must endure the trial of following
an invisible Leader. who had been reck.
oned with transgressors and crucified.
In such warfare, which is far more ex-
acting than martial warfare, they must
win their laurels and their thrones.
