ONE womAN's IMMORTAL FAME.
The international Sunday School Les
son for October 4 is "Christ Annoint-
ed for eurial"-Mark 14:1-11.
By william +. Ellis.

This story is one Of the sweetest
in the repertory of the common people
The scene is laid at large family
dinner in the town Of Bethany, su.
burb of Jerusalem, where Jesus and
his disciples were guests. The event
of the occasion, which alone made the
dinner noteworthy, was the action OF
Mary of Bethany, sister of Lazarus,
who broke an alabaster vessel of pure
nard-a superlative perfume, worth
workingman's wages for year-upon
the feet and head of the Master, who
had restored her brother to life, and
who had been teacher and friend to her
family.
This was the very extravaganza OF
devotion. The guests gasped at the
royal offering which filled the house
where they sat. The amounting was a
consummate token of lavish loyalty
better understood in the perfume low
ing Orient, than in our western land.
Yet the fragrance of that Offering has
for nineteen hundred years been sweet
ening this old earth Of ours.
The thrifty, practical and unsenti-
mental guests we're scandalized by
su ch extravaganza. They were dis
pleased that the guest Of honor should
countenance such waste, and their dis
approval of Mary became instantly
clear to both her eyes and her ears.
Chief among these prudent and pro-
testing ones was that keeper Of the
money bags, Judas Iscariot, who
thong hit always in terms Of lucre, and
who straightway, with appraising eye,
began to estimate the possible uses
of the money represented by the gift.
Outwardly he talked of giving 1t to the
poor; really he wanted 1t in his own
money bags, where his avaricious fin
gers could clutch 1T.
Poor Mary was shocked. embarras-
sed and hurt at the reception which
her act was accorded by the other
guests. A sensitive, spiritual personal
ity, she quailed before this hostile
criticism. Her one thought had been
Of her Lord. She was of those who do
not weigh and calculate consequences.
To her it was clear that her Master
was worthy Of her best; and that the
highest use Of any possession OF hers
was to employ it in the service Of love:
She knew ir1stantly-and wondered
why the truth was not plain to every

"The division fence Is down, Mar

Is no dividing line anywhere now, Is

"The dividing line between our faith
ers Is gone, Ralph" she answered,
"and-and-there Is none between

body-that when great loyalties call
nothing else matters.

A Gentleman TO The Rescue.
True gentleman that he ever was,
Jesus came promptly to the rescue of
Mary, bewildered by the carping criti.
cisms Of these small souled disciples.
Only for an instant was she permitted
to suffer embarrassment or rebuke !;
barrassment of eulogy.
Jesus not only received her offer
ing with gratitude-and nobody in this
world will ever know what a comfort
it was to the hunted and harried Nazar-
enc TO feel that somebody really under
stood and really cared-but He also
publicly defended it as the highest use
of money. All true disciples OF love
are forever indebted to Mary for pro-
viding the occasion for these words OF
Jesus upon the superlative worth of
love and all loves offerings.
Audaciously it must have seemed to
his although he himself new
er betrayed any doubt of his gospels
growth-Jesus promised immortal
fame to the deed Of Mary. He declar-
ed further that her wisdom was great
er than that of all his drilled disciples
and Of all the doctors Of the law. Her
intuition had outrun their reason She
saw what was hid from them, that Je-
sus was about to die. Her sensitive
heart had caught the true Importance
of his repeated words to his uneompre-
hending disciples. This was her way OF
administering comfort and expressing
loyalty
The Time For Loves Offerings.
Later on, in due time, Mary would
bear spices to the tomb OF her cruel
fed Lord. Now, however, while he
was living and while his heart was
heavy with the burden of the worlds
woe and Of the relentless persecution
OF his enemies, and while he was shut
apart by a great loneliness, Mary
would make her timely offering to re-
fresh his weary spirit. No counsel Is
commoner than this one that we
should bear flowers to the living rath-
er than gifts to the dead.
Her sense of spiritual values made
Mary understood that love lives on law
ish offerings. The rose has one value
in the florists shop; but 1t has far
greater value when it rests in the
hands Of the woman to whom it speaks
of love and loyalty In the eyes OF
Judas this alabaster vessel of pure
nard was worth three hundred pence;
streaming over the person of the An
nointed One, it had worth beyond all
appraisal. It had come to its highest
use.

Vera Cruz Important Port

There are very few towns in the rel
public that have such an interesting
history as the city of Vera Cruz. OW-
ing to its mercantile movement, 1t is
the first port of the republic.
Very Cruz has more than 81, 900 in
habitants. 1t is 426 kilometers from
Mexico City by the Mexican railroad.
The road was commenced in the year
1912, and the construction took place
during period of thirty-four years.
The works necessary :or dredging
the bay and the breakwaters for Sc
curing the safety of the port were I'M
der construction for more than three
years. The complete area Is about
$40 acres, and now the port Is in a
condition to receive steamers of deep
draft and heavy tonnage. The con-
struction of the port works cost the
federal government $26, 704, 1895. The
improvements were, inanugurated on
March 6, 1902, and have made Vera
Cruz one of the most beautiful ports
on the Mexican coast, and where
steamers of large draft can enter and
be securely sheltered during great
storms.
Vera Cruz is distinguished from the
other towns of the republic on &C.
count of it's crooked streets and mar
row lanes which run from the broad
streets constructed symmetrically at
right angles.
In the commercial part of the city
the houses are of two and three stor-
les and we'll constructed. Among 9TH
er edifices may be mentioned the mu-
nicipal palace, the parish church, the
market, the Dehesa theatre, the Hos
pital Zamora, the Cantonal school,
and the church of San Francisco tn

ing may be taken as Italy's attitude in
the dispute between the United States
and Mexico:
Italy is only indirectly interested, as
she has no commercial interests in
Mexico and the Italians there are not
numerous Those who are there will
be sufficiently protected by the Uni

Germany, and with England, and will
merely watch developments.
