THE UNIvERsALIsT SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1896

One story told to account for their
origin is to the effect that they were
originally cattle Of the ordinary height
and bulk; that Buddhistic priest was
once imprisoned in stone building
one half OF which was used as cattle
stable. During the night he managed
to dislodge one of the stones in his
prison walls. The stone in question was
exactly two and half feet square.
1t was almost daylight when this
apostle of Buddha felt the air rush
through the opening he had made, and
realized that he was all but free. He
knew that he would be unable to get out
of the enemy's country on foot, so he
prayed that he might be provided with
a beast of burden that would safely
carry him to the homes of the followers
of Buddha
No sooner had he done this than one
of the large oxen which had been quietly
feeding in a stall at his side walked
leisurely to the thirty-inch square open
ing and miraculously passed through it.
The priest followed and mounted the
now sacredly dwarfed beast, and was
soon safe in his own country.
Since that time, so the story goes,
there has been breed of sacred run
ming oxen" in Ceylon, which never grew
too tall 70 pass through an opening the
size of that made in the prison wall by
Buddha's representative on the night
when he miraculously escaped on the
back of the first famous dwarfed OK
Tit Bits.

QUARTERLY REVIEW
Lesson XIII.-March 80. 1896.
INTRODUCTION.

In our study of the Life OF Christ in
the Gospel According to Luke we have,
we believe, been learning three central
facts in regard to Christ-He is
Son of David. Apart from the prob
lem of family genealogy. it is beyond
question that Jesus was in the line from
Abraham, and was distinctively He
brew. He was furthermore OF the tribe
of Judah that gave David to history.
Jesus therefore possessed an ancestral
inheritance among the Jews,-a nation
of striking paradoxes; nation OF bigots'
vet having the only worldwide religion;
a nation under the Roman heel, yet
fanatically hoping for worldwide do
minion. How Jesus came into natural
collision with the recognized represent
atives of his own nation; how he, IN
tumultuous period, lived according to
the ideal of the Twenty third psalm;
how this aroused the antagonism and
deadly hatred of those in authority;
how the cross was the logical earthly
end of his ministry, as we'll as the sym
boil of it's spiritual triumph;-th story
of the peerless Son of David, 80 distinc-
tive, SO utterly without parallel or near
visible likeness in all human history.
still fascinates our imagination and fires
our soul.-He is the Son of Man.
Significantly, while Matthew traces the
genealogy of Jesus back to Abraham,
Luke traces it back to Adam. Luke
cared less than Matthew for the fact
that Jesus belongs to the Hebrew race;
he cared more that he belonged to the
human race. Jesus is brother to every
being in the world and in the ages who
bears the Divine image. He has re-
vealed the kind of life which. in its es-
sential quality, is equally good among
all races and in all ages. While in the
nature of things none can ever again
fulfil precisely such mission as Jesus
fulfilled, all men may become spiritually
like him. and thus enter into his fellow
ship. His sympathy or circles human
ity; his spiritual appeal breaks all bar
riere and comes to his brother Man. AS
the Son of David Jesus appeals to our
admiration; as the Son of Man, the ex-
ponent of what is potentially in every
man, he captivates and ravishes our
souls. He is the Son of God. In
Jesus the Divine and the Human mingle.
Where the Human ends and the Divine
begins, passes human discernment; but
that in him is mirrored the Divine. is
fact of Christian consciousness. While
dead liberalism h Is burdened the truth,
and definitions which do not explain
have obscured it, the truth remains, the
august and all important truth, that we
meet God the Spirit, our Father and
his Father, in the Life and Gospel of
Christ The basal fact of Christs Life
and Gospel is this: His Father is our
Father.

General Survey. In Lesson l.,
"The forerunner of Christ" we found
in John the Baptist's birth Fremont
ton of Coming One who would fill a
predetermined mission. In Lesson H.,
1.-THE Boy Jesus" we were privileged to
behold by sample the pure early life of
our Lord. In Lesson Ill, 1.-THE Minis
try of John the Baptist" we behold
how the mission of Jesus is the fulfil
ment, not destruction, Of the ideal Of
Israel, as exhibited in the Baptist. In
Lesson ~. 1.-THE Early Ministry of
Jesus" we saw how Jesus, in his early
home at Nazareth. was cast out and
hated. and his life endangered, because
he preached Gods good will to all. to
Gentiles as we'll as Jews. In Lesson ",
1.-THE Power of Jesus" we saw how Jesus
could heal the body of a paralytic by re-
storing him to moral integrity through
the forgiveness of sins. In Lesson VI,
1.-The Sermon on the Mount" we had a
specimen of the Inaugural Sermon of
the Twelve, wherein we found that reali.
zation of Gods Fatherhood and Provi-
dence. and right doing toward our
neighbor, is the essence of the Gospel of
Christ. In Lesson VII, The Great
Helper" we found Jesus doing a won
der-work for Roman centurion, in re.
storing his dying servant, and finding in
the generous Gentle faith yet unpar-
alleled in Israel. In Lesson WILL,
Faith Encouraged" we saw Jesus
after having restored the invalid woman
who touched his garment, raising the
daughter of Jairus by the quickening
power of the Spirit. In Lesson TX,
Jesus the Messiah" we found both
Peter and Jesus making confession, as
the truth which underlies the Christian
Church, that Jesus is the Amounted Son
of the Living God. In Lesson X, True
Love to ones Neighbour" we found Jesus
by the parable of the Good Samaritan,
teaching that the ethical meaning OF
brotherhood is that we are individually
brother to every one in need. In Lesson
XII. Teaching About Prayer" we
learned that Jesus prescribed no formu-
las for private devotion. while he gave
one brief, comprehensive Model Prayer
as a suggestion of appropriate praying
in public worship. Lesson XII, Faith
full and Unfaithtul Servants" deprecat-
ed the tendency mot yet altogether over
Gomez to regard Divine Judgment as a
thing pertaining to the indefinite future,
not as present reality. requiring

The New York World of the 18th instant,
writing from the above caption, says:
"The latest advices from Australia indi

import a very considerable amount this year
TO make good their own shortage. One es-
innate puts the amount they will demand
from abroad at about one hundred thousand
tons, and as the Argentine crop is also re-
ported heavily short the pressure of compe
ttion with our wheat in the London market
will be very considerably relaxed.

900 acres in wheat, exporting that year

the same year South Australia exported
1S1,S6l tons of breadstuffs, chiefly wheat.
Its wheat exports range from $3,500,000 to
$6,500,000 year.

NORTHUMBERLAND OF CONGREss

1t seems to be the opinion of the leaders
Of Congress that an adjournment will be
reached about the middle OF May-that is
if these same distinguished leaders are al
lowed TO direct the general run Of Congress.
They say very freely that no profitable leg
islation has been accomplished or likely TO
be, but they hope the half billion appropria.
ton bills will be passed, and they expect
the country to be content that it has escaped
any very serious mischief.
The Philadelphia Times, Of the 18th in
slant, staunch Democratic journal Of the
old Keystone State, in writing of this body,
uses the following strong language:
at is a melancholy fact that the Congress
of the United States has been steadily de-
clining in public esteem, but in all its his
tory it may be questioned II there has ever
been a Congress so entirely incapable and
at the same time 80 mischevously NEEDLE
some as this. The two houses, though nom
inally of one party, have been able To agree
upon nothing except in endless talk about
matters that were none of their business,
and all that has been accomplished is to
prolong and intensity the uncertainty and
unrest by which the whole business OF the
country is paralyzed."
1t will be recognized by the thoughtful
that the last Congress, which was turned
out, neck and heels, because of its delay in
rectifying an accumulation of previous blum
ders, appears as model Of intelligent states.
manship by comparison with its successor.
The main difference is that the leaders of
the last Congress were freely criticized by
those of their own party, while the organs
of opinion in the present majority party are
too much afraid of the effect on the coming
election to speak their minds. The appar-
ent collapse of Speaker Reeds candidacy is
the only very salient evidence that the coun.
try finds no use for anybody concerned in
this present Congress.
We believe that under the existing cir
cumstances an early adjournment of Con
gress will be the most useful and healthy
act it can perform. 1t would be better if 1t
were earlier.
