Ill. The Conclusion, w. 1886. 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 it was he was seeking to impress
upon the minds of the thoughtless
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
a great truth. There must be quality
as well 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 che East. The
natural man is presented also as be-
ing corrupt, Gen. Gil; 8:21; Ps. 14:2,
8; Eph. 2:1-3. The remedy for this is
the active presence Of his disciples
among their fellows. The true dis

HILL but is thrown out and trodden I'M
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 profess
sion and appearance would indicate
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 multitudes to himself. Wit

leaves the house Of the ruler. But he
paused and by his teaching sifted
them, and seemingly made it 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 IN

to renounce ease and rights in the IN

empty himself and enter the life of
fellowship and suffering with his Mas

Multitude Rebuked.

|. A Caution, v. 26. On another oc-
casion, John 6:26, 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-a1;
6:1-4, but as compared with our love
for him it is aversion. See Matt.
10:37; Phil. 81, 8; Ps. 1925, 26 Aver
sion is to turn aside, and the Master
told US that those who shall turn aside
thus shall have an abundant reward,
see Mark 10;28-30. Jesus Christ must
be supreme in a Christians affections.
He who freely gave his own self John
3:16, Phil. 2:8) has q right to demand
a like devotion to himself, and as
men have approached nearest to such
a conservation he has exalted them.
The Cross means the shame, sorrow,
in the pathway of loyalty and devo-
ton to him. ii Tim. 3:12, Acts 14:22,
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
my disciple" This frequently costs
much, but has an abundant reward.
John 1916
II. A ChaI!ange, 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
new meaning of this passage sug-
gested by the Revised Version of v.
SO, so likewise" is rendered, so
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
builder of a tower, w 20, so, and (b)
The King at war, w. 81, 80. Too often
we present to men what is to be gained
by Christian discipIeship. The gain
does outweigh the cost, but as wise
builders we must present the cost side
CT 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
diers upon whom he can depend abso-
lutely. This throws light on the con-

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
A Natural Market.

Perhaps Il Is a reflection upon senti-
ment that so many observers attributed
the strength Of the market Thursday
morning to the extension OF supporting
orders by the big interests. implying
thereby that the technical conditions were
weak. member Of one Of the biggest
and best known banking firms stated yes
terday privately .that his arm had not
bought single share for the purpose
OF supporting prices and that so far as
he knew no one else had. 1t Is evident
has been a perfectly natural one. The
comparative dulness Is proof. for dull
ness cannot be manipulated. The mar
ket Is therefore In a healthy condition
TO respond to anything like favorable
news. Now that two sessions OF the
Stock Exchange have elapsed since the
announcement Of the Claim failure II is
patent that the outstanding feature Of the
stock market was not so much tho re-
sistance presented by prices to the in
nuence Of that event a. the small amount

amount OF speculative contracts for the

For obvious reasons more than ordinary
interest was displayed in the market for
the stocks of the United Dry Goods Com
pany. There were no transactions In the
common stock. But while II may have
been a coincidence the fact is that prices
in general moved rather closely In lire
with the fluctuations in the preferred
stock. The first sale of the preferred was
at 6ii,. when II dropped TO 50 In the
afternoon the market sold down with It

is considered probable that the action OF

on the part OF the management that opin-
ion In the case will be handed down inn
