SUMMARY viii be seen that the
'vSsOu is in two great parts, dUCtrndl
and experimental some in our time al
icgt to discard doctrine, declaring that it
is oC little importanCc what q man be-
lievcs, provided his heart ana life are cor
rcc.. But Jesus thought otherwise out
of the ten verses in this passage all but
lWo are ChristOlogical, presenting the
doctrines pertaining to Christ, and these
preccde those verses that touch matters
of faith, acceptance and life. Evidently
Jesus believed that men must have just
views Of Him Before practical religion Is
possible. He consiGcr,d the intellect 70
be the propcr doorway into the heart. If
mon could think right lie expected they
would feel and will and act right. Prov.
NNii. - As long Us the Jews had false
notions Of Jesus they would pcrseCute
him. II Corinthians ii, s. Hence this
passage is an attempt of Jesus to make
them know who He was an explanation
| as defense. And the lines of His
thought run out into the lOfticst and
most profound subjects that can engage
the mind OF man. Now, as then, men
need instruction above all else. The
shortest and best system of evangelical
tion, the one prescribed tMatthew, NXrlii,
2OJ, is teaching.

CHANCES IN ILOILO.

Iloilo also is a good field for the con-
struction Of a tram system. At pres
ent there is no line in the town, al
though the population is about 10000.
lloilo alone would hardly support a
street car line, but two other features
about the project insure it's success.
Three miles to the west, across the
river, is Jaro, a town of 10000, while
about three miles TO the northwest is
Molo, with nearly 10000 inhabitants.
There is no connection in the way Of
transportation except carramattas, al

AUTHORITY.--Our Lord has now
reached the climax. Gradually He car
liCd His hearers on from point to point
until He had disclosed the benefits which
were to be derived through Hlm-pardon
for sin and life eternal, the latter prom
isod in the most positive terms through
faith. He now returns TO the thought adj =
vanCed by Him to the Father, and to en-
plain in what sense something had been
given to him. If authority was given it
was not originally possessed. If it was
not originally possessed then He was not
essentially Divine. If lie was not Di-
vine then John made a mis- take (John

THREE OF A KIND
rhsv Met I'm a Bank and Each Had
a Carpet Bag That He
Had Found.

"I was cashier Of bank in Pennsyl-
yania a good many years ago." said the
man who was travelling on a deadhead
pass. land after couple OF years l
made up my mind that things were too
slow for me. In other words l decided
to gobble up what money l could and
skip for Europe, and go into business
on my own hook. bided my time, and
one night when i knew could lay my
hands on about 10000 prepared to bid
the town good-by. I had key to the
bank and another to the vault, and as
we had no Waterman inside l had no
trouble in getting in. TWAS about md
night when l made my raid, and L
hadn't opened the vault yet when the
president entered. He had an empty
carpet bag under his arm, and got weak
in the knees as he saw me. We hadn't
passed a question when another key
clicked and the manager entered. he
also had an empty carpet bag, and he
also got weak in the knees. The three
of us sat down, each with an empty bag
at his feet, and looked at each other for
a long time. 1t was the president who
spoke first, and he said:
"I was worried about the funds in
the vault
$50 was l., said the manager.
$50 was L. l added.
"And hadn't we better see if they
are safe?'
az think we had
$50 do l.
"Then the president unlocked the
vault and the three of us stepped in
side and assured ourselves that the
funds were all right. As we came out
and the doors were locked behind us, he
said:

street as ! came along

ager.

There was an interval of painful ST.
lence and then we all walked out to-

up as we did so, and the president OBJ
served
Special meeting, you see, James.
You'd better go inside for the rest Of
the night
"'Yes, inside said the manager.
Yes, inside, James, / added.
James was locked into the bank"
continued the ex-cashier, land we babe
each other goodnight and separated.
1t was an even-up thing as far as it had
gone, and it ought to have been so to
the end, but the honest man is always
the one to suffer. Next day I got the
bounce. The president said that he and
the manager had been thinking things
over, and had come to the conclusion
that l had been tempted to rob the
bank, and would doubtless have got
away with every dollar if they hadn't
happened to show up. / was honest in
acknowledging it and had to 90, and |
believe they had their salaries raised
