The International Sunday School Lesson.
April 0, 1900. John MI: LII.
The Amounting in Bethany.


It is well there are some incidents
which relieve the sombre and agonizlng
hours Of Jesus last days on earth.
Among them the Amounting" Is con-
spcuous. The very fact that 1t is an
act prompted purely by sentiment gives
1t its charm and worth. The calcula-
ting spirit is ruled out. Love has Its
way.
For eight weeks Mary had watched
her opportunity to express in this signi-
licant action her gratitude for the re-
storation Of her brother. as well as her
personal love and reverence for the
Master. She has kept in her boudor
the Egyptian alabaster vase. 1t Is rich
in hue and dainty in shape like one
Pllny APPLY compares TO closed rose
bud. BOX" and contents are so In
harmony that each enhances the other.
The alabaster holds q heavy weight of
liquid perfume distilled with the high
chemical art of the far East.
The company have gone Into the BAN
quet room. Simon. the host, whom
Jesus may have healed Of his leprosy.
assigns his guests to their places. On
this occasion Lazarus may have sup.
planted John In Jesus bosom" At
this moment Mary appears. She breaks
the slender neck Of the CRUISE and pours
part of the contents upon Jesus head
(Mark) and part upon His feot (John)
and wiped His feet with her luxurnnt
treSses, n not uncommon Oriental net.
1t is like the singing of sweet hymn OF
praise. which though directed to one,
all hear and enjoy, for the house was
filed with the odor OF the ointment.
We can forgive Judas the discordant
note he strikes. 1t gives US clew to
his character. the devious windings of
which are confessedly difficult to trace.
Further 1t Is quotation Of the market
value of the nard. which is an astonish-
Ing high figure GEO. or in correspon-
Is 1t any wonder Judas protested? Es-
pecally, since he was "a thief and hay
ing the bag took away what was put
therein" But we further thank Judas
for his interested criticism because 1t
brings out Jesus's commendation, and
the ample grounds upon which that
commentator Is based. Mary performs
this act as one Of worship to the Son Of
God. 1t IL her last opportunity. He
will soon pass into that state (of dcath)
In which He would be obllvlous to her
act. This Is the exception which proves
the rule of continuous benerolence to-
ward the poor whom we Will always
have with us. This commentator, in
stead of being deterrent, Is really an
Incentive to bencvolcnce. Others who
have not the opportunity Of doing what
she did must do that from which she Is
excused, viz give to the poor.

certained how It would be possible to
find workmen whenever they were
wanted. These contractors, and 1t is
said there are about fifty such, are
not members of the Builders Ex-
change.
REPORT FROM TAYLOR.
A report was received in the after
noon from Union No. 757. at Taylor, to
the effect that Contractor Christopher
Ward, OF that place, had granted the
demands and was putting on extra
men. He is not a member of the Ex-
change. Contractor Taylor, who Is
member of the Exchange, and does
large contracting business in and about
Taylor, has not granted the demands.
He employs about thirty men. The
union numbers about fifty members.
In answer to an inquiry as to whether
any non-union men had been put to
work on jobs where union men were
working, Business Agent Knowlton
stated that it was too early to con-
slider this phase. SO far as he could
learn, the Master Builders were not
taking any aggressive steps along that
line as yet.
About seventy men are affected by
the strike of Union No. SO, Amalga-
! mated Sheet Metal Workers, and sew
eral very important jobs, one or two in
half completed state are at a stand
| still. Several conferences were held by
| the men with Business Agent John
| Price, and headquarters will be estab-
| lished today at 400 Lackawanna ave-
| nue., so that the men can report each
| day on the same basis as the carpen-
| ters.
At the Builders Exchange rooms, 421
| Lackawanna avenue, everything was
! quiet. Secretary b. +. Laudig, of the
Exchange, stated that everything was
all right. He had heard of no over
lures, and he had been told that the
Builders were not worrying; in fact
several of them were arranging to take
a vacation trip for a short time.
When asked If steps were being taken
to employ outside help, or put non
union men on, he stated that he had
not heard of any such movement, but
added that If 1t was necessary the
Builders could and would get men.

NOT VERY ENCOURAGING.
Providence Pave Contractors Are
Rather Indefinite in Their Com
munication to the City.
Engineer.

City Engineer Phillips has received
the following in response to his letter
notifying the Girard Construction
company of the certification of the
Providence paving contract and direct
ing that work be commenced at once:
Office of Alcatraz Paving Company, 1923
1926 Witherspoon Building.
Philadelphia, Pa, May 81, 1899.
Joseph p. Phillips, City Engineer, Scran-
Dear Sir: Your favor of the Goth inst
received and contents noted We will let
you know in a very short time, now, ex-
actly when we will begin work on Provi-
dence road and North Main avenue, and
will push it to completion with all pos.
sible haste. Yours very truly,
Alcatraz Paving Company,
A. G.. Hethrington,
Vice President and General Manager.
AS has been presumed all along, the
Girard Construction company and the
Alcatraz Paving company are, as
shown by this letter, one and the same
concern. The company did a paving
job in Olyphant recently under the
name Of the Alcatraz Paving company.
The contract for the Hyde Park ave-
nue. pave was secured under the name
of Alcatraz company, but that was
before the Olyphant job was completed.
City Engineer Phillips has been COM
planning for some time past over the
failure of the Alcatraz people to get
in shape for the Hyde Park avenue
pave. He has failed to discover after
the most diligent inquiry that the
company has even secured any curbing.
City Controller Howell has received
a copy Of the resolution passed unani-
mously by both councils, requesting
him to certify the contract for the
construction of section d, of the Fifth
sewer district, which embraces several
| blocks of the portion of North Main
| avenue which is to be paved.
In the South Side sewer case the
| court decreed that the controllers
| duty in the premises was simply of a
