but to give His life a ransom for
all. to be testified in due time" The
secondary feature of His work was
the calling of the "Israelites indeed"
to be His footstep followers, who
woull be received of the Father and
begotten of the Holy Spirit, at and
after Pentecost- The miracles were
merely incidentals and not His real
work
It would have been a still greater
and grander work for Jesus to have
eXpounded the Divine Plan, and to
have opened the eyes of the under
standing of the people, and their deaf
ears; but this work could not be ac-
complished to any extent until after
He had assembled up OF high, and had
appropriated the merit of His sacri-
flee to the justification of believers
Hence it was that Jesus said to His
disciples, Greater works than these
shall We do, because go to Ny Fa-
ther.'
The account in the conclusion of
this lesson, of the feeding of four
thousand people with seven loaves,
and the taking of seven hampers of
fragments, was another manifestation
of Jesus power. or as He would ex-
press it. of the Divine power in Him.
When the five thousand were fed, five
loaVes and two fishes were used and
they were gotten from a small boy
In this case the disciples themselves
had seven loaves, and gave their all
for the feeding of the multitude, and
all had sufficient. Let US exercise
faith in God and partake of our dali
ly bread with grateful hearts; there
will be blessing in it, however plain.

EvERYBODY'S BIBLE BOX.

ON Revelation xiv, Gil; how are
we to understand that statement about
being ''tormented day and night for
ever and ever?" &C. E. ID
Answer.-In the ninth verse we read
eft any man worship the beast and
bis image, and receive his mark in his
forehead, or in his hand shall
be tormented, etc" Do we know OF
any one going around with mark in
his forehead or in his hand that is
engaged in worshipping a beast or his
image? Has any one seen "critter
that is being worshiped by any one?
But some one will say that the beast
and his image" are symbols represent
ing false religious systems If that Is
so then should it not occur to US that
the fire and birthstone" and the
smoke" are symbols likewise? The
smoke is that which remains after the
fire has done it's work. 1t would Wen
symbolic the remembrance Of the de-
structive punishment which Will come
upon the wicked in the last days. Fire
and birthstone are recognized by all
enlightened Bible students as being
forcible symbols of destruction. There
fore, whatever is cast into the furnace,
or lake of fire and birthstone, IS not
preserved in any sense, but Is absolute
" destroyed. This Interpretation of
the symbols is in harmony with all Of
the plain statements of the Scriptures,
which teach that death ''ever1ast-
ing destruction" perish" and de
stroyed as natural brute beast, made
to be taken and destroyed will be
the ultimate fate of the incorrigibly
wicked. The torment represents the
fear and despair which will animate
the minds of those who are described
as worshipping the beast-honoring
the false systems. This condition of
mind will last until the beast and
his image are destroyed, but the re-
membrance (smoke) of this fear and
trouble will be lasting.
ON Matthew V, A, we read-"But
say unto you, love your enemies,
bless them that curse you, do good to
them that hate you, and pray for them
which deSpitefully use YOU, and per
secute you" Why then, if our creeds
are correct. does God eternally punish
in hell with the awful tortures of the
damned, all who may not be in har-
mony with Him? To be Godlike;
should we not torment our enemies?
&C. E. W.
Auswer.-In the medieval ages
when the doctrine of eternal torment
was actually believed in by the people
who were unable to read the Scrip
lures, as they were written in dead
languages which were not understood
excepting by a limited class of priests,
it was considered GOdhke to torment
with the pains of the InQuiSition all
who were antagonistic to the teach
ings of the church of that day. Now,
however, when the teachings of the
Bible are no longer buried in dead
languages but are set forth so that
all can study and understand for
themselves; it is seen and generally

BROOKLYN TABERNACLE.
..HE DoETH ALL THINGS WE'LL
Mark vii, 81; viii, 1O-Oct. 81.

Mark vii, 81; viii, 1O-Oct. %.
He hath done all things we'll; He
maketh both the deaf to hear, and the
dumb to speak.''-V. 81.
Today's lesson gives a special il
lustration along the line of faith in
God. A person was brought to the
Savior to heal who was deaf and had
an impeachment in his speech. The
culiar. Cd Because Jesus took the
man away from the multitude and
healed him privately; CD it is pecu-
liar as to the means used. He pu1
His fingers into the mans ears, as
though to start some life current
through them; then He spat and
touched the mans tongue. We under
stand that these methods were used
in order to attract the mans atten-
ton and assist him in the exercise of
faith.
The statement that Jesus sighed is
worthy of note; we can only surmiSe
that it indicated His deep sympathy
with the man before Him and with
the grooming creation in general. The
lesson seems to be that He was
Touched With a Feeling of Mans In
firnlities.
as had been prophesied. He was per-
feet, He did not have a body with aches
and pains and blemisheS, such as otit-
er men have, but this did not make
Him cold and unsympathetic, -ather
the reverse. His perfect mind would
make all His SensibilitieS more activs
than ours; His sympathy would he
stronger, His sense of pain keener.
We, as a fallen race, have become so
accustomed to many of our surround
ings that they are commonplace and
we are inclined to consider them nat
uralforgetting that the natural order,
of man would be the perfect order,
and that the blemished state is the I'M
natural.
In yet another way may we suppose
ing of our infirmities. namely, by rea-
son of His losing vitality on the occa-
sion of each miracle. Is not this the
meaning of the Scripture which de-
clareg that He poured out His soul
unto death Daily, hourly, His vi
tality was being exhausted in the
healing, blessing, comforting and IN
structing of those with whom He was
in contact This thought should prop
erly bring our hearts into very close
touch and sympathy with Him, and
give US that much clearer view of the
Savior's love.
The day before His crucifxion our
Lord said, My soul is exceeding sor-
rowful. even unto death; have
baptism to be baptized with, and how
am I straitened until it be accom-
plished- 1t was accomplished fully
the following day, on Calvary, when
He cried, 1T is finished" His bap-
tiSm into death was accomplished.
1t is following the account of this
miracle that we read that the multi
tude declared the words of our text.
We are not to understand that merely
this one healing was the basis of their
comment, for the account of these
same instances by St. Matthew (xv,
29-31) tells of great multitudes gath
cred, having with them many lame,
blind, dumb and MANNED and many
others, and they cast them down at
His feet, and He healed them, inso-
much that the muItitudes wondered
and glorified God.

Let US never lose sight of the great
central thought connected with our
Lords miracles. His mission was not
to heal the sick and to cast out devils, ]

The tragedy of tragedies on the
mission field is the breaking of fam
lily ties. If the missionary has chill
dren, tn parents must endure a sep
aration of years from these. Seven
long years without sight of father
and mother is a common experience
of missionary children. This is the
heaviest cross that the missionary
must wear.
Actual physical hardships on the
mission field grow less and less. Yet
they are plenty. The odors of the
East are alone enough to deter a re-
fined person from becoming a mis-
sionary. The sanitary conditions are
worse than the odors. The vermin-
well. considerations of polite speech
restrain one here; perhaps it is
enough to say that "China's mill
