We are brought sharply back from our
careless living and our lax spirituality to
to the death of Christ by this scripture.
1t is as though our thoughtless feet had
been wandering carelessly over grave,
we plucking flowers from the sod. When
that grave was the symbol to us of a
great struggle for our sakes and a vic
tory which we must continue to win.
The days had gone by ard the sorrow
ing ones at the cross and the tomb had
dried their tears and gone about their
daily tasks. While they yet loved the
Lord and believed on Him with all their
hearts. they were not thinking so much
in those days of His wonderful teachings,
perhaps. Earthly ambition had again
seized their souls. and they were strug-
Cling for supremacy in things temporal
The kindness. meekness, humbleness that
Jesus taught were being gradually for
gotten in this struggle, each man for his
own good. Quarrels were arising, and it
was not so easy to forgive as when Jesus
stood where they might see Him, and
hear His words of gentle warning or
solemn rebuke. The peace of God might
not have been quite so apparent as when
they had just been healed from their dis
eases and revelled in the thought that
God could do anything for them. The
Word of Christ had been somewhat for

Any person may send any biblical ques-
ton to DR.. Gilbert. 1908 r street this
city. and receive answer in The Star
1913. Why is there not in the New
Testament any genealogical table showing
the descent of Mary. the mother of Jesus?
The two tables given refer to Joseph.
but it was important to show that Jesus
was the son of David. and that could be
done only through his mother. if the
miraculous birth is accepted.
Answer Matthews table begins with
Araham and passes from David to Solo
mon, while that of Luke passes from
David to Nathan. The first sketches the
pedigree of joseph. the foster father,

table is supposed to sketch the descent of

was a very earnest Christian. One year
two or three other merchants persuaded
him to go into deal with them by which
they should control the Goldfish market

one day the old man learned that many
poor people in Boston were suffering be-
cause of the advance In the price of cod

down praying at family worship. He
went straight ito those men and told them
he could have nothing more to do with
the plan. He said: II can't afford to do
anything which interferes with my family
prayers. This morning when l got down
on my knees and tried to pray there was
