LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER G
THE GREAT COMMANDMENTS.

LESSON TEXT-Mark I2:2-A.
GOLDEN TEXT-"Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart. and with
all thy soul and with all thy strength.
and with all thy mind. and thy neighbor
as myself" Luke 1921
This lesson considers a third ques-
tion asked Of our Lord; two others
Ia this connection We studied last
week II was not so much ques-
ton Of placing one commandment In
competition with another, but rather
which commandment most clearly
epitomizes or reveals the final prin-
ciple In law 1t was the business OF
this scribe to know the law and TO
interpret the commandments. Jesus
In his reply quotes from Deut. ga,
and from Lev. 1918, which are both
In sense an exposition Of the Deca-
logue.
Love the Basis.
!. The answer Of Jesus, w. 1884.
The scribe's question seemed to be
quite specific and 80 the Lord strikes
at once at the heart and by his quota
tion reveals to us the fact that the
principle which is the inspiration Of
the law Is that of love. In passing
we have here another illustration Of
the masters ready use and knowledge
Of the Scripture. Jesus makes a
fourfold summary. Man must love
God with (a) the heart, e. g. in sin
cority and uprlghtness; tb) with the
soul, with the warmth Of the emo
tions, and the feelings (c) with all
thy mind the intellect, not as a blind
deyotee; Cd with Strength" viz,
with intensity Of service, with energy.
ITO love God with all the heart and
soul and mind and strength Is to have
supreme desire FOR and delight in
Gods glory, making everything else
second to that" This statement is
but half, for the complement of our
love of God Is to love man. Man
created in Gods image was 80 loved"
by God that he gave his son John
3:16); man can do not less and must
express that love in service to others.
To fall In the first is to break the
greatest of the commandments and
therefore to be guilty Of all, Rom.

Philadelphia. Dec. 81. - Connie
Mack, baseball manager and baseball
speculator, invested $2.79 in one
way ticket for q youth travelling from
Tarrytown, n. Y, to Philadelphia late
In the summer Of 1906.
The gaunt genius ran this $2.79 into
the sum Of $4,000 last week, when he
sold his Tarrytown visitor of eight
years ago to the affluent Mr.. Comis-
key Of the White Sox.

aged I, and Charles browns. aged g.
Some time ago they entered the resi-
dcnce of c aries H. Mower and stole
81 which was afterward taken away
from them by another woman and
given to the police. Lately there have
been several reports of refrgerators
on back doorsteps being robbed OF
their contents and Yesterday, when
the boys We're taken into custody, they
owned up to having been the thieves.
They took raw meat from one place
and fed it to bull dog. they claimed.
and at another residence they stole a
cooked leg of lamb which they ate
themselves. They also took bottles of
milk, oranges and whatever else was
handy. Most of the depredations in
this line were committed on North
willard street w. V. Scully and Nor
man j. Mcdonald having been two of
the principal losers. Yesterday after
noon the boys ran away from school
and were found later at the draw
bridge playing in a boat, where they
were taken in charge by Truant Of
hcer Bray. They had in the meantime
annexed bun dog to their party
probably the same one to whom they
had fed the stolen meat, and when Mr.
Bray went to take the boys the dog
Immediately seized him by the leg.
The boys are very dirty and are cloth
ed in rags, and nobody seems to have
any authority over them, otherwise
they seem to be bright and good look
Ing little chaps.
