ceeded steadfastly to this final expert
ence, when a cloud received Him out
of the sight of the eagerly gazing dis

"EIe climbed Loves ladder so high,
From the round at the top He stepped

For the space of forty days Jesus
had been on earth, after His resurrec-
tion, appearing at intervals to His dis
ciples. Even at this closing interview
on the Mount of Olives; His conVer-
sation had been "of the things pertain
ing to the kingdom of Cod" Is any
warrant needed for putting first in our
thoughts the things that touch the
cause of Christ? Here we have it.
The other theme-if it may be called
another theme, so inwrought is it in
the kingdom idea-touched upon by
Jesus was the coming of the Holy
Spirit.
That farewell teaching deeply
stamps upon the Christian church the
seal of spirituality. Christianity is
not merely an organization nor an
edifice nor code of ethics nor set
of ordinances: it is the divine life of
Christ in the spirits of men. The Holy
Spirit alone is the key to the mys-
teries of our faith. Christianity is
both ineXplicable and impracticable
without the Paraclete.
Basing her belief on the words
spoken by Jesus as He stood on the
Mount of Olives, with the ascension
cloud of glory lowering near, and upon
the writings of His apostles, the
Church has for nineteen centuries eX-
pected the return of Christ. So allur-
ing is the theme that many have been
led TO extreme lengths of liberalism
concerning it. Thus, hosts of believ-
ers expect Jesus to reappear in a cloud
on the Mount of Olives at the very
spot where His foot last touched earth
They build largely on the phrase, This
same Jesus *' shall so come in
like manner as We have seen Him go
into heaven" Now that 'in like man
ner" in Luke's Greek is hon tropon,' -
the very word that Luke also uses in
his Gospel when he quotes Jesus as
saying that He would have gathered
the children of Jerusalem. even as Il
hen doth gather her brood under her
wings. If used figuratively in one
case why not in both?
Beyond question or cavil, Jesus
taught His disciples that. in some
form. He was coming again. When

the Mount of Olives. Ever since the
Turkish censorship drew thick cur

persons have been wondering just
what has happened TO one of them.
There they stand, great and beautiful
structures. both surmounted by high
towers that are the most conspicuous
objects in the vicinity of Jerusalem,
being visible even from Mount Nebo,
on the other SIDE of the Jordan. The
situation is one of military impor-
tance as well as of highest historical
interest. Doubtless the priests of the
Russian Church have been expelled
from Palestine, along with the other
priests and monks and teachers be-
longing to The allied nations. Has the
church itself been taken over by the
Turkish army, as certain other
churches have been? If so, what has
become of the priceless treasures it
used to hold, including Nereschagin's S

CHAPTER XVI


Copyright, 1918, Star Company
During the autumn days following
the announcement of her engagement
Jane Hardy found in her duties as a
teacher something with which to
fight off fear and foreboding.
She was in her class room each
morning in time to greet the most
prompt of her scholars. Often she
remained after school to go over
the next days lessons and to cor
rect exercises. Even when she reach
ed home she retired to her room with
her books. After supper she would
clear the dining room table and, seated
by the lamp, would work through the
long evening.
Here her betrothed found her often
She would greet him pleasantly, then
way that reminded him that her time
was not her own.
Cant you get all that done be-
fore night?" he asked occasionally.
Her answer was always tire same.
"I don't want to neglect a thing,

effort, trained her tongue to speak
his first name) "If | am to teach,
I must do it well. Were I more eX-
perienced. I might turn my work off

my first position in any school"

Clared one evening when she had
given her usual excuse for not hav-
| ing what he termed "a good talk
with him.
She looked at him, startled. "Aly
work is giving satisfaction, isn't
it," she questioned.
Sure 1t is ne told her. Don't
worry about that. But now that
we're going to be married I don't
mean to have you teaching school
long"
She ought to have learned to sup
press the inward shudder that his
mention of the future brought to
her. Yet she was able to hide any
outward evidence of her trepida-
ton.

way of filling in an awkward pause.

SUDDEN GATH
Caused by Disease of the Kidneys

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased. arterial tension is
increased and the heart functions are
attacked. When the kidneys no longer
pour forth waste, uremic poisoning
occurs, and the person dies and the
cause is often given as heart disease, or
disease of brain or lungs

risk to send 10 cents for "a large trial

sons. Thus present-day military events,
and the dear story of the Life of the

Of our new Sunday school lesson upon
our minds. The Mount of Olives lies
directly east of Jerusalem, so that a
battery of rapid-fre guns in the tower
/ of the Russian church could command

olive trees. Much of its slope is now
| filled with religious edifices, commemo-
rating scenes in the life of Christ.
There is a strange admiXture of the
buildings of the West with the squald
streets and houses of the East. Pill
grims from many lands climb this
rough ascent, for on this hill one
phase of Christianity ended and an
other began; on the hillside is the Gar
den of Gethsemane and from it's crest
Christ a5cended into heaven.
That fact is to-day's Sunday school
lesson. Jesus went up from earth, and
His disciples remained behind TO carry
! on His mission. Upon this handful of
unlettered peasants and fishermen,
who, however. had spent three years
in the school of Jesus presence, there
deVolved the tremendous task of con-
tinuing Christ's work. Would they he

are reminded of the stories from the

day, when many Christian teachers
are displaying an a-scriptural
cocKsureness concerning our Lord S
