-" Matt. i6:2s.
While this discourse is recorded
only by St. Luke, still there are many
things mentioned here to which our
Lord made reference on other occa-
sions. Last Sundays Easter lesson
made break IN the sequence of les
sons we have been following, ana shall
follow for several succeeding Sundays.
Leaving the chief Pharisee's house
wherein he criticized both host and
guests, great multitudes" followed
our Lord Turning. he uttered some
OF the severest and yet the most won
derful words that ever fell from his
lips. as we shall see II we follow all
of this part of our lesson series.
Multitude Rebuked.
!. A Caution, v. rs. 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. 525. 1891;
GID, but as compared with our love
for him 1t is aversion. See Matt.
10:37; Phil 81. s: Ps. 1926, &C. Aver
sion is to turn aside, and the Master
told lis that those who shall turn aside
thus shall have an abundant reward,
see Mark 0:28-30 Jesus Christ must
be supreme in Christians affections.
He who freely gave his own self (John
1915. Phil. 2:S) has right to demand
like devotion to himself. and as
men have approached nearest to such
a conservation 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-
ton to him. II Tim 3:12, Acts 14:22.

instruction, v. ~. AS If to make this
caution more solemn, Jesus sets be-
fore the multitude the manner of his
approaching death and the condition
of disciplesh.p. 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.
33, 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 CD The illustrations. fa) The

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.

ences of life which he employed so
frequently TO amplify or to drive home

ITO DETERMINE WHAT
 IS BEST ENTRY RIGHT
Land Office Confronted With knotty Law Point in CastIewood- Garrison
 Simultaneous Filing Case.

To tryzswhether it is improvement with intent to settle or actual resi- dence that entities a citizen of the United States to exercise his homestead rights, the United States land office yesterday heard the simultaneous ent- ry' contest of B. s. Garrison and Frank Castlewood and took the case under advisement pending the consulting of the legal authorities.
 The controversy involves a tract of good land south of Tempe, now mostly in cultivation. This land which with other tracts had been withdrawn from entry some years ago was thrown open last year. Garrison has plowed, sowed and harvested one crop off the land, but had not established his residence thereon. CastleWood later took up his residence on the land and then both filed their entries on it at precisely the same hour o'clock on December Is, 1913. In all cases such as the simul- taneous filing on land, the officials of the land office decide which applicant has the best right to make filing And this is just what they are doing now The matter hangs entirely upon law points, it seems and these will take some time to study out A decision is reserved and may be expected within a few weeks.
