III. The Conclusion, w. 1885. We
have already indicated the conclusion
towards which Jesus was leading with
terrific logic, and by looking back to
the first verse of the lesson we see
what 1t was he was seeking to impress
upon the minds of the thoushtless
multitude. Again the Master uses
one of those homely illustrations
gathered from the common expert
ences of life which he employed so
frequently to amplify or to drive home
great truth. There must be quality
as we'll as devotion to this disciple.
ship. Salt preserves from corruption,
seasons insipidity. freshens and sweet
ems. These qualities are referred to
abundantly by Scriptural writer's. Salt
is highly priced in the East. The
natural man is presented also as be-
ing corrupt, Gen. GIL; S:21; Ps. 1872,
8; Eph. 2:1-3. The remedy for this is
the active presence of his disciples
among their fellows. The true dis
ciple is like salt with a good SAVIOR,
On the other hand, salt that has lost
its SAVIOR is not even fit for a dung
hill, but is thrown out and trodden un-
der foot of men. So our Lord sets
aside that disciple of his who has lost
his usefulness This expresses our
Lords contempt and scorn of those
who lack, not merely a certain kind
OF character but those whose profes-
sion and appearance would indicate a
better expectation. Ears are made
that we may hear; happy is that man
who has learned to listen to Jesus.
This lesson presents the severity
of the claims of Jesus. Irresistibly he |
drew the mutitudes to himself Wit. |
ness the crowd following him as he |
leaves the house of the ruler. But he
paused and by his teaching sifted
them, and seemingly made 1t difficult
to follow him. Those who would fol.
low must forsake all. and renounce all,
even the tenderest of human ties, yea,
even life itself must not be counted OF
value. There must be absolute un.
qualified loyalty. To bear cross Is
to renounce ease and rights in the In.
terest of others. The disciple must
empty himself and enter the life of
and suffering with his Mas.
ter in his work of redeeming men and
establishing the Kingdom.

Multitude Rebuked.

!. A Caution, v. 26. On another oc.
casion, John 626, Jesus rebuked the
multitude which followed him. This
multitude who pressed about him did
not realize what was involved in a
true following. They were influenced
by the psychology of the crowd. and
did not count the cost Jesus does not
mean that our discipleship will lessen
our love for our kin (Eph 5:25, 2S.3l:
6:1-D, but as compared with our love
for him II is aversion See Matt.
1O:37; Phil. 81, s; Ps. 1925, 2G. Aver.

told us that those who shall turn aside

men have approached nearest to such
a consecratlon he has exalted them.
The Cross means the shame. sorrow,
pain and death of self and all that lies
In the pathway of loyalty and devo-

Our cross is that particular thing
which crosses the path into which God
is calling us. To avoid it that we may
escape the shame is to be disloyal to
him. therefore he cannot be

much, but has an abundant reward,

II. A Chalange, w. 27-32. Cd The
instruction, v. 27. AS If to make this
caution more solemn, Jesus sets be-
fore the multitude the manner of his |
approaching death and the condition |
of discipleship He here lays down |
the first declaration of the severe |
terms of discipleship, but explains
the meaning OF his words There is a
new meaning of this passage sug-
gested by the Revised Version of v.

therefore" Our Lord does certainly
insist that those who build tower or
conduct war must count the cost; so,
likewise, they who follow him. But
by this change the opposite thought is
suggested, viz. that those who follow
him must do so whatever the cost may
be. (2) The Illustrations. (a) The

The King at war, w. 81, 32. Too often
we present to men what is to be gained
by Christian discipleship. The gain
does outweigh the cost, but as wise
builders we must present the cost side
Of the transaction. The man who
builds the tower is master of his own
enterprise and the king need take coun-
sci but of himself. Our Lord as the
Master Builder and the great King can
build his towers or conduct his cam
paigns only through workers and sol
1iers upon whom he can depend abso-
utely, This throws light on the con.

DENY RUMOR OF INTERVENTION

Washington.-The working out of
plans long ago made public for the
distribution in this country of return
ms Philippine troops undoubtedly has
caused revival of rumors that a
large part of the army is to be assem-
bled on the Mexican boundary.
Somewhat impatiently the general
staff officers on Monday quoted the
rumors by pointing to the various
statements issued from the war de-
partment, the last as recently as April
3, showing the dates of sailing of the
six regiments which are scheduled to
end their tropical service in the Phil
ippines in 1912.
Two of these regiments already are
at sea on their way to San Francisco,
and one of them, the Fourteenth cav
airy, will go into the border country,
taking station at Fort Clark and Fort
Mcintosh, in Texas. The Third in
fantry, also afioat, is bound for New
York posts. The other regiments will
embark at Manila on various dates
until as late as June 10. 1t is not set
tied where they will be stationed, but
1t is expected that one and perhaps
two will be located In the southwest
These facts were announced some
time ago and can have no connection

CHARGED WITH BRUTAL CRIME.
New York Millionaire Said to Have
Slashed Wife's Throat at Winter
Home in South Carolina.

Aiken, S. C.-Excitment over the
mysterious attack several weeks ago
on Mrs. F. o. Beach, prominent
New York woman, who spent the win

when a warrant was issued for the
arrest of her millionaire husband,
charging him with slashing her
throat.
1t was generally believed that Mrs.
Beach's assailant was negro. After
a fruitless search by armed citizens
for the supposed negro, rewards az
gregating several thousand dollars
were offered for the apprehension Of
the criminal. Mrs. Beach was not
seriously injured.
