Taking your schooling from us yon hare greatly Improved on everything that

we taught."

The staff officer to whom the prince paid this high compliment was Gen. Itel Kurokl, the now celebrated warrior who commanded the First army corps In the war with Russia, and who rendered such conspicuous service that Field Marshal Oyama referred to him as his "'strong right arm." Gen. Kurokl la now In this country on a mission to the Jamestown exposition. Horn 6! years ago In Satsuma. the "Sparta of Japan," Kurokl at an early

age entered the military service of the mikado, and rose grade by grade from the lower ranks, attaining In 1891 the rank of lieutenant general. That was the year of Japan's war with Chjna. and In that conflict Kurokl commended the Sixth division of the Invading army. It Is related that his division had been scheduled to be the laaf one to be embarked for the Invasion of China, and that Kurokl chafed so much over the Inaction that he fretted himself Into a state of Illness. But Immediately the troops were landed and the smoke of battle began to roll from the front all of KurokTs Illness vanished and be Joyously exclaimed: "Ah. this makes me well again." From the very beginning of the war with Russia. Kurogl baited the world's attention by the display of his military skill. Then It was that people began to Inquire more closely about this warrior whose military genius shone so resplendent. Efforts were made to trace his origin, and although the Inquirers found little assistance from the silent soldier, It was flnaly ascertained that be was of Polish origin. A nephew of the general, who was then pursuing his studies In Europe, wrote a letter In which he said that Kurokl's father was a polish nobleman who had fled from Russia after the revolution of 1831. This nobleman, whose name was Kourowski, first went to Parts, afterward to Turkey, later joining the Holland troops In Borneo. From Borneo be went to Jspan and there married a Japanese. From the union was horn Kurokl. who. because of the nay of his father, was nicknamed

It is said that the general Is very proud of his Polish origin, and that he has always cherished the dying wish of his father that his eon would some day be able to take vengeance on the Russians for their cruel treatment of onhappy Poland. KurokTs genius for war was never more conspicuous than In the great taming movement at I-lsoysng When Kuropatkln threw the whole weight of bis army upon the angle held by Knrokl. he should, according to all mill tary precedent have destroyed his foe. But Kurokl not only held the enemy at bay. but held them long enough for a supportl% column to tom (heir

flank.

Kurokl’s part In the last great battle, that of Mukden, was that of a fierce and vigorous attack upon the very strong position that was held by the Russian center, not with any hope of carrying It hot In order to tores i carry out the movet which ultimately led to his de-

ot of Ollvvs, Comment end Suggestive Thought. The Sleeping Disciples.—V. 1: Qetbsemaae was s "plot of ground" (Matt. which appears lo have been on the Mount of Olives (Luke <t:39i and beyond the ravine of the Kldro> (John 18:1). Leaving Jerusalem, by St. Stephen's gate one comes to traditional site of Gethsemane. distance of almost DO yards beyond the bridge that spans the Kldron. stone wall Incloses a nearly square plot of ground, which contains eight very ancient olive trees. It Is universally admitted that the real site cannot be far from the traditional one."—Conder, in Hastings' Bible Dictionary. The temptation of the disciples In Gethsemane on the surface was a temptation to physical sloth, the yield Ing of physical weakness: but deeper their sin was the lack of that sympathy with Christ which would have kept them awake, watching and pray Ing as he bade them. It was all the worse because Christ had sought, a* his nearest companions, to give him what comfort men coaid In hla supreme spiritual struggle, the three disciples that were nearest him, Peter. James and John. He had thus bon ored them at least twice before—when he belled the daughter of Jalrua. and on the Mount of Transfiguration. The three disciples met this tempts Uon by yielding to drowsiness, rous lug enough to perceive the agony of Christ which they have reported to us. and then falling asleep again. In spite of their Master's pleadings, twice repeated, for their loving Interest sac support In his great trial. "Never In all their lives could Peter. James and John wipe out that failure from theli memories. And yet. have we one word of blame? We have never been worn with sorrow such as theirs. Have we not also failed when our Lord has asked ns to watch and pray?"—R. C. GUlle. The Treacherous Disciple.—Vs. 3-9 Already while Christ was uttering his sad words of disappointment. "Sleep on now," the lanterns and torches ol his captors were gleaming throngh the trees. Jndas brings with him: 1. “Officen from the chief priests and Pharisees." These were the temple servants, the Jewish guard of the temple. 2. "A band of men." "A detachment of Ro man soldiers from the garrison stationed in the castle of Antonia, sent to preserve order (Matt. 26:S) and frustrate any attempt at rescue."— Century Bible. Christ received them with full knowledge of their purpose, and of the fatal result that would follow. He did not attempt to hide, but “went forth" Into the full moonlight from the deep shade of the olivet, "and said unto them: 'Whom seek ye?"" “This question was probably asked for the purpose of shielding his disciples, by drawing the attention of all upon himself."—American Commentary. Whan Christ calmly declared who be was they fell backward on the ground. "Whether this was a supernatural event, or allied to the sublime force ot moral greatness flashing In his eye, or echoing in the tones of his voice, we cannot say. He who had hushed the waves and cast out thr devil, and before whose glance and word John and Panl fell to the earth as It struck with lightning, did perhaps allow his very captors (prepared by Jndaa for some display of his might) to feel how powerless they were against him.”—Pulpit Commentary. Peter was brought to his senses by a grieved look from hla Lord. "It was enough. Like an arrow through his Inmost soul shot tha mute, eloquent anguish of that reproachful glance. As tha sunbeam smites the last hold of the snow upon the rock ere It rnahet In avalanches down the tormented hill so the false self of the fallen apostle slipped any. Flinging the fold of his mantis over his head, he, too, like Judas, rushed forth Into the night Into the night bat as has been beau tlfnlly said. It waa ‘to meet the morning dawn.' If the angel of Innocent: had left him. the angel of Repentance took him gently by the hand."—Far-

rar.

Practical Points. The tame possibilities of sin are be fora all man. Still, every day, oar Lord Is denied and betrayed. When we have tinned and repented let ns not seek to bury our shame and sorrow In forgetfulness, bnt le os remember our fall, that we ma; avoid a second fall, and thus be grate ful to Christ for saving ns sad for giving ns. Our safety lies In watching the lltth temptations. Judas began, perhaps by being mean about money, or by taking a penny that did not be loo* t> him. Peter met the Roman soldier; with drawn sword, but fell before th< question of a servant-maid. "Even though man may part fron bis conscience. It nevertheless doe not part from him."—Tholuck. It Is wise for each of ns to ask. athe disciples asked when Christ sal that one of them should betray him "Lord. Is It I?" No one Is safs fron peril If he does not consider blms*' liable «oj£.
