er, the former class assuming their
superiority and glorifying in their per-
versity, the prophet next shows how,
at day then distant all persons will
make just estimates. Now men are
blinded by the apparent prosperity of
the wicked, thinking that godliness IS
Improbable. Worldly considerations
cast a shadow over the life of the god
~, and a peculiar advantage appe lrs
to those who are ungodly. But "ln
that day." when the Lord makes W
His Jewels (Matthew, ky, 3D, the de-
ception will be removed. The righte-

appear in all their ugliness, uncloth21
by garments Of righteousness. (Mat-
thew, xii, 12) The former will be
welcomed and honored the latter dis
missed and disgraced. And all intelli-
gences will witness and approve the
distinction.

the statement in verse 49, "In that

God would burn as en- oven or furnace,

Jews, with their city and their temple,

PERVERSITY.-(Verses 49, II and
15)-We have first a condensed ac-
count of the wickedness of the times
manifested in two ways. First. in
speech. 1t had been openly declared
that the service of God was vain or
prohtless. All the time and expense
devoted to religion was deemed to be
lost. Whenever they attended upoa
the ordinances of Gods house it was
with the feeling Of sacrifice and hu-
initiation. in striking contrast with the
pious delight of one of old. psalm,
cNXii. - Second, in consequence OF
this, the men who were irreligious were
honored. Those naughty rebels who
tempted the Almighty were regarded
happy. because unrestrained by trou-
blesome Observances, and they were
elevated to places Of trust in sta'G and
church as most worthy. This consti-
tuted complete rejection of faith, 2
turning away of the heart, a hypo-
critical and perfunctOry performance

CONTEXT. Between last lesson and
this are two whole chapters and parts
of two other chapters. This interven-
ing matter is continuation of the
prophets arraignnent Of the Jewish
people for their irrelgion. In this he
shows, not only that the nation had
departed from the true service OF God,
but that they were eXcusing theic
course by many false notions. For
malism had taken the place Of pure
worship. The heart was no longer en-
listed in the public devotions. In
burning words the sins are exposed,
and the impending doom is declared.
We are now come to the final message
of the book, the last prophetic words
of the old ispensation. When they are
spoken the volume will be closed and
sealed, not to be opened until the new
covenant. Four centuries will pass be-
fore the holy spirit will prompt another
man to speak to these obdurate de-
scendants of Abraham. Let us ponder
the utterances whose influences ought
to remain through all those years.

cided that it would be far more desi1a-

applications for discharges are any cri-

The ravine under the bridge was

officers Of the volunteer establishments
will be mustered out and radical
changes made in the staff departments

Lawton and Macarthur, all the volun-

including Generals Wade, Wilson, Lee,
Wheeler, Bates, Young, Chaffee, Ander-
SOD, Sumner, Ludlow, Henry and

are discussing in the light of the presi-

conclusion of peace, the question of
mastering out the volunteer army. It
is agreed that the law will be construed
to mean that the muster out of the

a delay of month or SO in the dis
charge of the volunteers.
Meantime they will receive their pay

into the army of the so-called Filipino
republic, but from the statements Of

that nearly all who live in the coal

the rebels from the American right

shelled by the artillery, and burned and
abandoned the town Of Santa Maria,

to have been concentrated. During the
rest of the day the enemy was in full
retreat towards the mountains, burning
villages behind the retreating force.
Occasionally few of the rebels dropped
