WEST OPE MAY An incident occurring because of the general chicaen thief scare, has been amusing the borough residents for several days It seem that one of our well known citizens planned to scare the sometime-chicken-thief, by placing a spring gun in bis ben bouse, so that a pull on the door would cause an explosion. After everything had been arranged to hie satisfaction and the gun loaded with powder only, the mistress of the household was called out to give her approval. "You see," said our iriend, placing faia hand on the door, "the thief takes hold of toe door thus and gives a pull," auiting the action to the word, "and then"— Bang! and our friend was bopping about on one foot, the splinters from tbe door heving been driven with force against the other "Well, if that gun would scare a thief as much as it scared me I'm afraid that I wouid be held for murder and I'd rather lose all mv fowls. " And now tbe inhabitants of tbe hennery rest secure behind a huge padlock whiob adorns the door. For some time pest some trappers have missed game, which tbey say was taken out by sjme one at night. A few nights ago three of these trappers took an evening walk for the purpose of catching tbe unsportsmanlike hunters, with no success, however. And well may the alleged sports be thankful that they were missing for , tbe hunters were well armed and loaded for "bar." One of the trappera say that one morning recently be , chased one of the mean things in the meadows but tbe thick fog prevented a close enough look to Identify him. It ia Quite the thing for the young sportsmen about town and country who are fortunate enough to own horses, to meet during tbe pleasant afternoons to try the mettle of their several steeds. Among those most often seen are Hurry Needles, Ohales Newell, Walter Taylor. Philip Speck, Olaude Philips, John Hewitt William Ewing and "Uncle" Joe Orcsae. Some of the horses are quite speedy and make an interesting "brush" seeming to enjoy the fan sj much as their owners. Robert Blattner and Albert Ludlam are two ardent nimrods, and nearly every day may be seen with rifle or shotgun on the lookout for any unwary or unsuspecting bird or animal which may be caught napping. Albert rather

prefers beech birds to other game white Master Robert would rather shoot frogs in their season than he would bear the dinner bell, ami the e wav he handles his little 22 is a n oaution. Base bait is beginning to take the r place of all other kindred aporta among , the "young America" and the fever ia - spreading to tbe older boys so tbat • there is a movement on foot to start a team as soon as the weather settles. i to play until the season opens among > the regulars.

flit a«p SCHOOLI i tuliuii XJL-— Flrtt Quarto; For | March 20; 19ia ^ THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. T«rt of th. 1 ...nn, Matt. I*. 1-11 Manor, Van^O-OaMA, -.<1. W.tt Ix. 6 — Commentary Prepared by Rev. c D. M. 8 teams. j 1 t In Lake viu. 40, we read that when t Jeans returned from Gadarn tbe people s gladly received Him. tor tbey were all j waiting for Him. In Mark 11, 1, 2, we 1 read that many were gathered to- 1 pet her, filling the house and leaving no j room even about tbe door, and He i preached the word unto them. In i Luke v, 17. we read that there were 1 Pharisees and doctors of tbe law pres- i ent from every town In Galilee and ! g also from Judea and Jerusalem and | ^ tbe power of tbe Lord was present to n heal them. Then came four men, bringing on a i bed a palsied friend of theirs, and j when tbey could not get even near the door because of the crowd they car- j tied him to the roof, made an opening p and let him down through the tiling, | with his couch, into the midst before j Jesus. Compare tbe records in Mark 11 j and Luke v with our lesson In Mat- 1 t thew, and In each you bear Jesus saying to the sick man, "Thy sins are forgiven thee." Matthew adds that Be said, "Son, be of good cheer." In Matt. Ix, 22, He said to a sick woman. "Daurhter.be of good comfort." Rememberalso His "Be of good cheer" of Matt, xlv, 27: John xvl. 33, and Acts xxlll. 11. It is q the same word In each case. Just one j, word, used only by our Lord and on c these five different occasions. It is used once by tbe people to the . blind E man In" Marl; x. 49. Tbe word used by Paul In Acts xrvii. 22. 23. is a differ- E ent word, but oue of encouragee ment. There can be no lasting comfort \ I or good cheer apart from the forgivej ness of sins. Jesus did uot treat sym- c e j toms, as many physicians do. but went a ej at once to the root of the difficulty. L a j The four men brought their Mend B j that he might be cured of his palsy. e ■ hut Jesus began by forgiving his slus. a g I He saw the faith of those who brought him and determined to heal him. but n , . He began by cleansing his -eouL He .. j once said to Simon Peter, "if 1 wash | thee not thou hast no part with Me" B '• ! (John xlil. 8). and that Is truly a say- tj S j ing of great Import. If we are cleansed n I from our sins we shall In due time have perfectly whole bodies; so. baviDg n saved this man. He also gave him a 8 I healed body, and be arose and depart- '" | ed to bis bouse. The four earnest "men s who brought their palsied friend to !i Christ to be bealed of bis disease e were tjulte sure that If tbey t-ould get 8 him to Jesus tbey would not need to I carry blm away, and tbey were not F ' disappointed. The question of the Pharisees. "Who Is this?" (Luke v. 21i repeated In Luke r vlL 40; Matt xxl. 10. carries us back to 0 Isa. lxlll. 1; Jer. xxx. 21. Moses said. w t "Who am I?" (Ex. 111. 11) but the ouly/f t pertinent question la. "Who Is tie?' 11 "Whom say ye that I am'/" It Is a sl r blessed tiling for all who know that 01 He Is the Son of Man who hath power 1' on earth to forgive sins and that He 11 * has forgiven them. Luke says that Vl Jesus perceived the thoughts of these K 8 men. or. as it Is in our lessou. "Jesus, e: a knowing their thoughts, said. Where- al fore think ye evil In your hearts?" ai We do well to remember the words of E Ezek. xl. 5. "i know the things that y come Into your mind, every one of k them." As Jesus went forth Be saw a pubit- ' can uamed Levi or Matthew sitting n" at the receipt of custom, and. having _ a said to him. "Follow mc." he left all. I f rose up and followed Him. Compare e verse 9 and Luke v. 27, 28. Matthew _ 3 speaks only of Jesus sitting at meat In I 0 the bouse, but Luke tells us that this * 0 was a great feast which Levi made for E Jesus in his own bouse and that a ' great company of publicans and others 0 sat down with them. Jesus calls whom j. * he pleases (Mark 111, 13). The Father h, gives unto Him whom He will (John U. t vl. 37; xvU. 2). and yet there are none h f among those who hear who may not d come if they will (John 111. 10; Rev. U xxil. 17). The fault finding, self right- p eons scribes and Pharisees are always g on band with tbelr murmurings. but JJ they said a Que thing one day when d they said, "This man recelveth sinners a and eateth with them" (Luke xv. 2). i- They were the destructive critics of ^ their day. uud those of our day would _ do well to lay to heart some things * that Jesns said to them and of them. It 8 They considered themselves whole anA a righteous and had no use for such as Jesus, and He told them plainly that = He had not come to call such as they, but that they had better go and learn the meaning of these words: '^1 will have mercy and not sacrifice." Christ Jesns came not to patch up an old and It ruined nature nor to attempt to put new wine, the wine of the kingdom. Into the old bottles of the carnal mind, . but He came to give a new nature to _ penitent sinners and to make them new creatures from within outward. 5 He came to have mercy upon the lost and to give Himself and His righteous- — ness to those who, receive Him. He ~ does not ask anything from us until He baa first given Himself to us. God gave Hla Son: the Sod gave Himself; the Spirit also is given. The gift of f( God la eternal life. He glvea the bread ai of life, the water of life, the word of gi life. Nothing in tbe matter of aalva- cc Hon can be obtained by money or mer- w U on the part of human beings, but r must be accepted as the free gift of £ Almighty God.
