CONCLUSIONS.
There is the social study" of Farm
Vile AS Prof. Du Bois says, sit
brings to light facts favorable and un-
favorable, conditions good. bad and in
different" He finds a growing diff
ferentiation Of classes among negroes,
even in small communities. There is
the better class, fairly educated, moral,
Industrious and acquiring property.
There is the lower class, not particu-
larly vicious and quarrelsome, but
rather shiftless and debauched. The
great mass belong to a class between
these two with tendencies distinctly
toward the better class rather than
toward the worse. These are the
working people, factory hands, SER
wants, porters, etc. "They are a hap
py-minded, sympathetic people, teach
able and faithful: at the same time
they are not generally very energetic
or resourceful, and as a result of long
depression lack push They have but
recently become used to responsibility,
and their moral standards have not
yet acquired that fixed character and
superhuman sanction necessary in a
new people,"
Prof. Du Bois concludes ''that the in
dustrious and property-accumula
class best represents, on the whole,
the general tendencies of the group.
At the same time, the mass of sloth
and immortality is still large and
threatening. Finally, it remains to
be noted that I he whole group life in
Farmville negroes is pervaded by a
peculiar hopefulness on the part of the
people themselves. No one of them
doubts in the least but that one day
black people will have all the rights
they are now striving for, and that the
negro will be recognized among the
earth's great peoples Perhaps this
simple faith is. of all products of eman-
cipation, the one of greatest social and
economic value"
Small as may seem these beginnings
toward better things, it must be re-
membered that they represent the first
faltering steps on the path of progress
of an unhappy people who 35 years ago
did not even own themselves.

"There is one extremely common

a ridiculous example of the thing COM

and palpable that any one with an ele-
mentary knowledge of grammar should
recognize it. The thing which makes
it peculiarly sad or vexatious is the
fact that the error is often made by
persons who make some pretense OF
using good English. Half or Is per

The Call of rVattheW.
Matt. TX; 9-17
BY j. e. GILBERT, ID. D., IL. D.,
Secretary of American Society of Religious Education

1NTRoDUCTIoN.-1t is a significant
fact that Jesus selected his apostles from
Galilee. They were laymen who had held
no previous relations with the hierarchy
at Jerusalem. Ignorant of the philo-
sophie speculations and sectarian
wrangles that had obscured the ancient
faith, but well versed in the Old Testa-
ment Scriptures as taught in the syna
gogues, they were open to receive the
simple truths of the Gospel. Cherlshing
the Messianic hope then held by the
nation (John /, 45), they were well suited
to become the heralds of the glad It'd
ings when He might appear. Taken from
among the common people, they were
qualified to speak to the middle classes,
who in all generations have most quick
ly responded to every message of truth
mark xii, 80. Most of these men were
fishermen whose occupations, as in all
ages. tended to thoughtfuness, fraternity
and honesty. But at least one of them
some disposed to class two others in the
same list-was business man, of whom
we shall study today.
CUSTOMS.-O fact concerning Mat
thew separates him from all the others
he was q publican duke V, 20, a collec-
tor of taxes. This vocation was most
odious to the Jews. Nothing was to them
more burdensome and offensive than to
pay tribute to Rome Matt. xii, 10, be-
cause thereby their submission to a for
eign prince was shown and remembered.
Besides the method of gathering the
customs was notorious for it's impudent
exactions. The publcans bought from
the government each year at auction the
right to make the levy, and then they
employed inferior officers, called por-
titores, who We're Inscriptions, who IN
creased the burdens at their pleasure.

had anything to do with the taxing, were
despised. 1t is remarkable that Jesus
should have called one of this class
(verse -, as his discipleshp would be
deemed by many an injury to the cause
The prompt response, however, is proof
that the mans heart was open to relig-
ious impressions.
GUESTS. Matthew, called also Levi
duke " 20. appeared to think himself
honored by the call of Jesus. Unlike the
others he made a great feast in his own
home to announce the occasion. 1t is
probable that he had great wealth, or at
least that he was in easy circumstances
and means 1t was great company of
publicans, his former friends and asso-
ciates, that sat down at the feast (verse
1O). Among them must have been many
not Jews, probably Roman knights, per-
sons of wealth and culture. A notable
event it was. Jesus, the Saviour of the
world, four or more fishermen apostles; !;
Matthew, the newly. called; Roman and
Jewish dignitaries-all assembled at a
feast in the house of Matthew at Caper-
naum. We have been accustomed with
much emphasis to speak OF the humility
of Jesus and His followers. but hereafter
let us, if we would do historic justice to
Him, hold this scene i'm our memory and
learn the results.
CRITICISM.-This feast caused much
murmuring. The Pharisees. whose idea

their present Master were in, full har-
mony, the one as the forerunner of the
other John /, 23), they We're perplcXed
because the two did not practice and
teach the same on the subject of fasting.
1t Is evident that the Pharisees had mem
toned the matter, because the disciples
found themselves agreeing with the
Pharlsees and disagreeing with Jesus.
After the discussion just had 1t was an
opportune moment to inquire into the
reason of this. If Jesus allowed and de-
Tended eating with publicans He un-
doubtedly had some motive in neglect
ing to abstain from food at certain times
(verse 1D. ard they desired to know what
that motive was. Their question was
raised In candor and presented with due
respect. 1t involved the interests Of
Christs cause, in so far as all divergent
customs need to be understood in order
to prevent either license or controversy.
ANSWERING reply OF Jesus is quite
extended oversees is to 10, showing that
He was anxious to be understood. lie
explains by three illustrations. First, re-
ferring to the marriage customs of that
time He asserts that the bridegrooms
presence is an occasion for JOY and not
sorrow (John iii, 29), implying that the
disciples had no reason TO fast while He
was with them, but that they would do
so when He was gone (Acts Kill. y. Sec
ond, as a piece of new cloth, having
greater strength, would tear an old gar
ment, so this custom of fasting would be
injurious to the disciples, who having
been unused to such austerities were not
able to bear them. Third, as new wine
be put into old bottles (made of skins),
without breaking the bottles, so the re-
ligion of Jesus. an experience and n
growth in its earlier stages, must not
be cramped i'm old forms. Or, briefly,
Jesus present with His followers is all
they need for the development of their
spiritual life, and nothing must be i'm
posed upon them which will limit their
freedom and so prevent their unfolding
under His direction and influence.
UMMARY.-The call of Matthew ana
the feast given by him present Jesus in
His relation to the publicans, the Phar-
isees, His disciples, and the disciples of
John, and afford much instruction on
various topics of religion. A man, whose
occupation rendered him obnoxious to
the religious class, called to be a fol-
lower. gladly responded and invites his
friends to honor the new Master. Scowl-
ing Journalists, looking on, condemn the
proceedings, but learn the mission and
character of Jesus and the nature of
true religion. Confused friends raise
questions and are instructed concerning
the liberty that is in Christ. All the
events went forward to one end, the
Lord Jesus the Saviour of the world,
seeks men wherever He finds them, but
imposes no burdens in His subsequent
efforts to conform them to His will Matt
Xi, 2S-2O Christianity is a system of
mercy that has an errand for every soul
of man. Nothing is allowed to prevent
it's high purpose All things are lawful
that tend to bring men into loving and
joyous acceptance of Jesus and into the
beauty of a Christian life.

the nominative pronoun as the object
Of a proposition or a verb.
'The reason for this is obvious. 1t is
known that ignorant persons use such
expressions as Him and me went up
town. or you and me was SEEN Peo-
pie learning that such expressions are
incorrect somehow get the notion that
it is never correct to use such form
as you and me-, or him and her. or
them and me- They feel guilty when
ever they are caught using such COM
bination of words, and doubtless if
they heard a person say, They asked
him and me to come to the dinner
which alone is correct, they would have
sense that an error had been made.
They get to feel that the conjunction

troll, governing the nominative case at
both ends. A little reflection would
remind them that this word has moth
ing at all to do with the cases.
"A sure cure for this bad habit is to
drop the and and use each of the pro-
nouns alone. What person, for in

you and / to come would also say,
They asked I to come or what person
who would without hesitation say, Let
you and I go?' Many Of the people
who use you and L as the object of

length and display an annoying sense
of superiority in doing it. They feel

of religion was limited to the observ-
ance of the law, whose chief occupation
was to note the departures from the let
ter of the law, were horrified at the scene.
They remembered the exclusiveness of
the old dispensaton, enacted on pruden-
tial grounds to prevent the chosen people
from being contaminated ezra X, III,
but they were ignorant of the broader,
more liberal construction of those legal
enactments. After whispering among
themselves concerning this scandalous
conduct of the Master, the Pharisees
went to the disciples with 1t (verse IL.
Probably they hoped to ALLEVIATE some of
them, thinking that the mere question
would avail to show the improperly of
the act. These critics never recovered
their poise or forgave this irregularity.
Again and again Matt. xi, l0 they
brought forward this severe charge Luke
Nv, p that Jesus had eaten with publicans
and sinners.
PHYSICIAN.-The criticism of the
Pharisees reached the ears of Jesus and
He replied to 1t in two ways. First, He
likened those at the feast to sick people,
most appropriate figure, frequently
used in Scripture lisa. /, 81, and called
himself a physician. That simile trans
formed the whole event and set Jesus
apart in his true light To visit wicked
people for the purpose of approving them
and of adopting their ways is indeed rep
rehensible. Separation on that ground is
not only allowable, but necessary I'll
Cor. vi, 10. But to go to them in order
to do them good, especially to rejoice
when one of their number intends to lead
u new life. is most praseworthy. In His
high character as n Saviour Jesus had
given His life to sinners Matt xviii, III,
and it was emncntly proper for Him
to be in any place where that mission
might be served. The sick. not the well,
need the physician (verse 12).
MERCY.-This first answer of Jesus,
Just considered, had respect to Him and
to His work--it was His duty to do what
He had done His next answer had re-
spect to the Pharisees He shows them
that while familiar with the letter of
the word they were not acquainted with
it's spirit, and advises them to go and
learn the meaning of certain sentence
which He quoted from the Old Testament
Hosea vi. 81, 81 will have mercy and not
sacrifice" True religion is not in a per-
functory observance of rules, not in
particular opinions and shows of sane
tity but in doing good to all Gal vi, 10).
The hypocrisy Of His critics was thus
exposed While standing aloof from the
publicans, espousing those forms of god
lness which were consistent with and
perhaps subservient to their pride, covet-
BUSINESS, ambition and malice Luke xviii,
III, the Pharisees were destitute of those
gentle qualities which prompt one to rem
der service to others Games |, 2O. In
that respect they We're in striking con-
/ trast with Him whom they condemned
(verse 13).
QUESTIONING Pharisees retired in
silence. Soon after there gathered about
Jesus, perhaps while he was yet in the
house of Matthew. some who had been
