Lukes gospel was written to the
eentiles. whose great apostle Paul
was. One of its peculiar characters
tics is the number of Christ's best
parallels which it records that are not
found In any other gospel. Among
these are the good Samaritan. the lost
oh h. Yrodfpr1l
and the Pharisee and publican. The
parable of Dives and Lazarus is also
found only In Luke.
In a general way the gospel Of Luke
may be divided as follows:
Preface q. Ia.
Prophecy, birth and childhood q. 4;
d 52.

Various phases of Christ's Galilean

sued by the Maine Central.
The Maine Central passenger depart
ment is issuing three handsome booklets
for the summer business. One OF these is
the second edition OF ~ Go Fishing,

out concerning Maine and it's attractions.
II deals only with fishing resorts, but in
that line is complete.
The second one is "Vacation and Sum-
mer Tours in Maine and New Hampshire.
This booklet is not illustrated, but is solid
full of facts and figures, all of which have
a very important bearing on the summer
outing problem for people who do not
know just where to go, nor how to get
there, nor what it will cost them to stay
q while.
The first part Of the book is we'll
written account of the whole section COW

ant and necessary facts and data.
The second section is made up OF care
fully prepared list OF hotels, boarding
houses and camps, and then follows table
OF railroad fares, Pullman rates, a sched-
ule of short combination tours and good
map of the Maine Central system.
The third book is entitled sWhere the
Traveller May Stay in Maine". This con-
sists OF a handsome illustrated book of the
principal hotels in the cities OF the State
as opposed to the strictly summer resorts
which are dealt with in the other two
books. 1t includes sketches and pictures
of hotels Of Portland, Lewiston, Auburn,
Rockland, Bangor, Fairfield and others.

THE HEAVENLY JERUSALEM"
Jerusalem. my happy home,

when will my sorrows have an ends
Thy Joys when shall sect
Thy walls are all of precious stone,
Most glorious to behold:
THY gates are richly set with pearl.
Thy streets are paved with gold.
Thy garden and thy pleasant green
My study long have beenl
such sparkling light by human sight,
Has never yet been seen.
If heaven be thus glorious, Lord,
why should stay from thences
What folly tits, that should dread
To die, and go from hence.
Reach down, reach down thinesarm OF grace
And cause me to ascend.
Where congregations neier break up
And Sabbaths never end.
Jesus, my love to glory's gone,
Him VIII go and see,
And all my brethren here below,
viii soon come after me.
My friends, bid you all adieu,
leave you in Gods care:
And if I here no more see you
Go on, I'll meet you there.
There we will meet and no more part.
And heaven shall ring with praise;
While Jesus love In every heart
Shall tune the song, Free Grace
Millions of years around may run
Our song shall still ipcrease,
To praise the Father and the.sop,
Who brought us home to bliss.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing.God's praise
Than when we first begun.

Where Was the Deacon?

Deacon Jones, the great man Of little
village of Massachusetts, whose outward
piety was of the vociferous order, but
whose charity toward his fellow men was
not as Astounding as it might have been,
was dangerously ill, and his brother dea-
cons, impressed with the custom OF issu-.

prominent individuals. decided to follow
the fashion, with the following results:

81 p. m. Deacon Jones has rallied
slightly"

relapse" .,

Thus the bulletins read at midnight;
but early in the morning some unregen-
crate mortal who did not love the Deacon,
evidently passed that way, for the light Of

Who scorn the grass-grown by-ways of the

That through green lanes and apple orchards

Or glittering ice. athwart pine-shadowed

Dear NJ. B. Friends:

Dear NJ. b. FRIENDS:
have been very much interested in the
above hymn, and in imagination have seen
the old church with its sounding board
over the pulpit, the square pews each with
a door which shut the family i'll as though
they had an apartment to themselves-snd
and what would the present generation
think of sermons-two Of them Sunday
an hour or more, long-and hymns with
ten verses, and I'll venture to say none
were omitted in the singing. / have an
idea they sang with '.the spirit and the
understanding; ''tthat they loved to sing
given above. Perhaps it was blessed re-
lief to them, after the long prayer of
doubtless alfhour' S; duration, to give
vent to their suppressed feelings through
the medium Of song.
Have times changed for the better since
those days? Then every family or nearly
every one was represented in the meeting
house on the Sabbath day, whether they
were members Of the church or not.
Now, with all the efforts to make the
church building and the church services
attractive, there is everywhere a con-
slant decrease in church attendance.
Some of us remember when there were
two church seryices-a forenoon and
afternoon service-with Sunday school
between. / suppose after Robert Raikes
q believe that was his nancy invented the
Sunday school, those Sunday services were
shortened somewhat
Now l willfthank 8. j. Y, both for my
self and G.,,for the hymn, and give you a
few lines fromlher.personal letter to me.
The labors!of:another week being completed,
will writeia line to:.you. What prompted me
at this time. especially, was the request of G.,
and as happened to have the original copy
in one Of the very. old hymn books, thought
it might besinteresting to have it reprinted il
you have space to do SO; SO / enclose, as the
book was considerably shattered, the printed
leaf. also enclose post card which you will
please kindly forward to A. NJ. d.
Ihave been house-cleaning this week. Have
my chambers all cleaned. 1t has been so cold
