The American Baptist

AMERICAN BAPTIST. W- earry too often the burdens that rever rever Was meant for this day, nor the next day, to be. How often we borrow the ill web plore, And shrink from the worms that never darken one door! Such worry's a sin: let's be quit of the crime, By living one day, just on day, at a time. A day at a time—that's enough, if we knew, To spend all our strength on, and anxious thought, too. Its task and its trials, its varied demands, Are all we can handle with one pair of hands. Each day lively lived makes the record sublime; God perfects us slowly—one day at a time. Then let to-morrow stand waiting, I say, And deal with each one when its name is To-day. The best preparation the future can ask is doing one's best with to-day and its task. Life's highest and best, that's the peak we must climb By faithfulest footsteps—one day at a time. Our Friend, the Druggl It is easy to certify to the generally high character of drugstri. But because of a few exceptions to the rule, it is necessary to caution the public to be on guard against imitations of Perry Davis Palm killer. See that you get the right article, the soothing, helpful Palm killer that was used in your family before you were born. Don't be talked into buying a sub situte. There is but one Palm killer, Perry Davis'. ANNIVERSARY ADDRESSES Papers Read at the 27th Anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. C. Smothere, D. D., with the first Baptist church Versanlies, Ky. Dr. Carey Smothers, as a "Character Builder" by Emma E. Jones. "Let Virgil sing the praises of Augustus; the nation pay homage to its heroes; the grand god Commonwealth of Kentucky portray the noble virtues of her gallant sons; genius celebrate merit and flattery extol the talents of the g eat, the short and simple annals in the records of an humble servant in the vineyard of the Master's cause, ennousy pen. While I record the history of his influence upon a noble structure, though I speak of an earnest minister of the gospel, I describe a noble man. I ask no enqueue to assist me in the task, for noble worth rejects the aid of an ornament to set it off. In spite of the many obstacles that have presented themselves to impede his progress and check the influence of his labors, the subject of this occasion has never failed to mantle an ardent, earnest and persistent effort to develop among this people noble specimens of pure womanhood and ma. bood. From this sacred rostrum, his elquent voice has been heard, for 27 years in impressive and pleasing tones, imparting a knowledge of integrity, industry and intelligence—a trio of virtues, which lay at the very foundation of our life work. In the buoy throughfares of every day life, and in dealing with his fellowman, he has practiced what he prached. In co mingling among both friends and foes, he has never failed to demonstrate a pure and spotless character. Taking a retrospective view of the ages and perusing the pages of history—both profane and sacred—from the very dawn of civilisation to the present, then carefully searching the rank of the great man of today throughout the universe and you can find no human being under the canopy of the essential dome, who has set a better example as a character builder in his own community by mollesting personal virtues than the man, in defense of whose honor I speak. You may find those whose fame has go so farther around the world or who have indelibly written their names among the foremost ranks of the great because of having promoted some "great cause" o having done some noble deed. Build m will you find a man, who for 27 years of continuous a d unbroken service in one community without a single thing to come up against him, during the entire time, to mar his record or spot his character. I believe a teacher does more towards shaping character of a community than any else in it. No man can justly claim the title of the gospel who is not a christian builder. If he does, he has chosen to wrong pro- tession and caught the shadow and missed the substance. It is not the pleasant smiles, the high sounding words nor the beautiful sentences that a prescriber uses that affects the life and character of his congregation and community, but it is the life he lives before them. Your life is the index of your character and not your smiles, words and sentences. The presachers conversation, walks and conduct should be of such nature that they will bear imitation. For he does more to influence the life and sentiments of his people in this way than any other. We can truly say, without fear of contradiction, that our beloved and honored fellow citizen, in whose honor we are assembled tonight, has not fallen short of say that I have said during the entire 27 years of his pastorate in our midst. We have always been able to point to him with pride and honor. In respect to the noble virtues and spotless character for which the name, Dr. Carry Smothers, stands, he is loved and respected by all who know him, at home an abroad, regardless of position, denomination or color. Nobler principals than those for which his name has stood for or those many years, never disturb the peace of man. The Growth of Education Under His Pastorate," by W. S. Blanton. The growth of education has been discussed so much and from so many points of view, that it has made for its if an individual record. So important is its history that no person can be properly prepared to face life's duties without being acquainted with its pages. History in any sense of the term is a record of some kind of development or progress. Every person and every thing in nature must undergo a series of development before precision or maturity can be attained. The same law governs the development of the citizenship of a village as does that of the state or nation. Because the same and is derived in each. If a successful management of affairs is necessary in the great body politic of the nation, it is also necessary in a community. The record of the growth of education throughout the universe, since the thoughts of men began to widen with the progress of the sun, has been defined as the record of the development of the human soul. This definition was proposed in order to inspire the rations of the world to climb higher and higher up the ladder of fame and accomplish noble achievements day by day, until they have indelibly left a record of their growth on the pages of the world's history. In consequence to the law which binds the greater institutions and organizations to the lesser, nations to their subjects, and races to individuals, it has been found necessary on this auspicious occasion to bring to remembrance a brief record of the growth of education in this community that the life unfolding processes now affecting the life and mind of the budding citizen in this vicinity might be quickened; that they may receive greater inspiration in preparing themselves to fight life's battles and then be educated to gather fresh courage and more ambition to overcome the apparently resisting forces and above all things that they may strive with greater real to use their knowledge and influence to build to the credit of the community that gave them birth, noble specimens of an honest, industrious and intelligent citizenship. In describing to you this phase of work in our community, I shall not borrow the wings of an eagle and fly to the summit of Mt. Pegasus to beg information of the muse, nor shall I second into pandemonium to consult Lucifer, but I shall endeavor to relate the truth as I have gained it from the lips of older citizens who have spent their lives in the pleasant valleys, on the beautiful slopes and along the quiet streams of old Woodford and in the rustic throughfare of Versailles. Twenty seven years ago, as I can learn from eyewitnesses there was but little education among our people in this community. All of our teachers were foreigners. Our schools were poorly equipped and run on a very minute scale. For many years, the school was held first one place and then another. The majority of the congregation that attended our churches were illiterate or unable to read and write. Organs and chir were not permitted a place within these sacred walls. Clerest doctors would not have a supported and professional musicians were unaware of. We had many h nest, responsible and earnest men and women to come among us as teachers but on the account of the unfavourable condition of affairs, they could not stay long enough to effect much good. Methodists and Baptists LOUISVILLE KY FRIDAY FEBRUARY. 12 ```markdown ``` bad little dealings with each other. In spite of the unfavorable condition of officers than once overshadowed this community, the star of progress and improvement continued steadily rising along all lines until the effect of its rays is felt and seen throughout both the town and county Organs have been allowed in the churches, choirs have been organized and carefully managed by efficient leaders and the music is enjoyed by the old as well as the young. The majority of our congregation are readers which is a great help to the mid-isters and the church at large. The town is now supporting two doctors, one of whom, I am proud to say, is a homo-boy. As to music, our singing is decidedly better and we have more musicians than we have instruments on which to play. Wherein our city school once held its sessions sometimes here and sometimes there, in 1888 89 through the influence of Mr. Lewis Wil iams and the Board of Trustees, C. Minnie, A Seyroy and Wm. Brown, we purchased our first school building. In this building school I was taught for several years until it was finally desroyed by fire, after which, through the wise management of Superintendent, M. B. Hilter, and the generous heartedness of our city board of education, a fine brick edifice, containing a chapel, s'x rooms, two halls and a library—has been erected for the benefit of our children and supplied with an efficient corps of teachers, all of whom are citizens of this community. The system of our city school work stands on a parity with the best in the state. This school has done more and better work within the past five years than it has ever done before and continues to improve each year. The students which it sends out, compare favorably with those who have finished similar grades any where, in the state or out of it. These evidences of improvement should inspire every liberty loving soul to higher and nobler attainments in the future. While our beloved pastor has not been actively engaged in the school room, he has always given his influence and labor to the promotion of educational interest in both town and county. Today the three churches of our town with their three pastors stand together in brotherly love. One always ready and willing to help the other; realizing that in union their is strength. May the great Judge of the universe ever keep the lamp of progress burning, the tongue of integrity talking, the hands of industry working and the brain of intelligence thinking in our midst till earthly toil shall cease. For "the who waits to have his task marked out, shall die and leave his strand unfulfilled." A Victory to be Proud of is the final and absolute cure of a core throat, in which the rawness and tenderness have been spreading dangerously near those guardians of life, the lungs. The luxury of a sound throat and robust lungs is most keenly enjoyed by people who, having suffered all the consequences of "a little cold, you know," have been rescued from misery and danger by Allen's Lung Balsam. A Year Book and Guide You frequently hear mention of dead languages. Well, some facts are even deader, but these are not the kind the Tribune Almanac deals in. By way of verifying that, just take a cursory over the issue of 1904, which is now on sale. It is not an almanac in the dictionary sense of the word, but it is really a ready reference and guide book containing everything that such a compilation ought to have. And the material has been garnered and sifted and tested with the utmost care so as to secure absolute accuracy, or at least get as near to it as honest, painstaking endeavor will take one. Herein will be found a perfect gold mine of information on topics of interest, not only to Americans, but likewise to all who care to know about us, our laws, population, officials, and so forth. (Aud, by the way, if you have any friends in Europe, just send them a copy and see if they don't appreciate it.) There isn't anything missing in the way of records which the average man will want to know about. It doesn't matter what the subject—game laws, public legislation, sporting statistics, facts about universities, colleges, patriotic societies, population, public officials to say nothing of a condensed guide of New York City, a map of the underground railroad system, showing the location of stations, and a table of telling railroad distances, fares etc. In fact, it is really not exaggeration to say that of a hundred and one things a same person wants to know, at least ninety-nine will be found in The Trtbuse Almana. THE SALOON OF C. 12 JANUARY FOR BOYS, EMORY DORMITORY, TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, TUSKEGEE, ALA. The building shown above is Emory Dormitory, recently erected at Tuskegee Institute. It is given by the well know Ohio family of Emorys, and the donors have agreed to continue giving buildings of the same size and structure until the congestion at Tuskegee so far as the comfort of the young men is concerned, is relieved. The building shown above is a two story brick structure, rectangular in shape, and was built by the students of that school the brick building manufactured by them. It is forty feet two inches by one hundred and nine feet, outside dimensions. A hall eight feet seven inches wide runs through the long way of the building at each end of which on first story doors are provided. A cross hall eight feet ten inches wide runs in the center of the bulding which has a stairway leading to the second story. This hall has a door at the end opposite the stairway forming the main entrance of the National Conference of Colored Teachers. I am sure it will be of interest to the readers of your valuable paper to know the movement to organize a National Conference among the colored teachers of the country is receiving the most hearty endorsement of the leaders in education in almost every state. Such men as the distinguished Dr. J. W. E. Btwen, Gaumon Theological Seminary and Dr. J. M. Henderson, of Morris Brown, Atlanta, Ga., President, N. B. Young, of the State Normal Institute, of Fla. President, M. W. Dogan, of Wiley University, and President, Lovinggood, of Sam Housn, college bhot Texas, Dr. Lewis B. Moore, Dean of the teachers' College of Howard University, Principal B. Bruce Evans and Prof. A. U. Craig of the Armstrong Manual Training School, Washington, D. C., President, James B. Dudley, of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of North Carolina, President, Johnson, of Virginia Normal and College Institute, Prof. Scarborough, President J. H. Jones, of Wilberforce, University, President, G. W. Hayes of Virginia Theological Seminary and College, Major R. R. Moton of Hampton Institute., Hampton Virginia, Principal L. L. Blackshear, Principal Prairiewiew State Normal School Texas, Principal Isaac Fisher and President Joseph A. Booker, of Arkansas, Dr. D. G Sanders, of Biddle University, North Carolina, President, P. F. A. Lincoln, College Missouri, and Principal, Warling, of Baltimore, Maryland with a large number of others are most heartily in favor such an organization Letters are coming in daily indorsing the movement. Perhaps I should say that it is not in our minds to sever connection with the National Educational Association, in any degree. We feel that we should be in closer touch with that body. The Southern Educational Association, while a distinct organization, does not, in the least entertain the idea that its members shall not have membership in the National Educational Association. We shall no doubt, when organised, urge a large attendance upon the National Educational Convention meetings. There are social questions and questions along racial lines which ought to encourage the attention of the colored teachers in a way that would not interest the masses of the teachers of the white race. For this reason these questions cannot be taken up by the National Educational Association building. The first floor contains 18 bed rooms and a sitting room; the second floor contains a 20 bed rooms, making 88 bed rooms and one sitting room. The bed rooms average nine feet four inches by fifteen feet, thus accommodating two boys to each room. Each room has a window. Each room contains a closet four feet by four feet. The openings in these closets are provided with covers hung on poles, curtains being used instead of doors. The curtains are six feet high and as the finished opening is about seven feet four inches high, this leaves a space of sixteen inches between the curtain and top of the opening, thus giving a good ventilation- The bricks are laid in dark mortar. The building is covered with Cypress shingles, stained red. Three porches are provided; a small one porch six feet by ten feet placed at each end of the long hall protecting the entrance. without ignoring the foremost object of that body—that is—to do the greatest good to the greatest number of members. For interest, much must be made of home life in our teaching. A discussion of this subject would be out of place in the National Education Convention, where a large majority of the teachers knowing nothing of the home of the Negro except at "second hand." On the other hand, in an association of the teachers, all of whom are constantly in the home of the Negro, it would be a most appropriate subject. There are many other subjects of which the same may be said. Certainly no color line will be drawn as to membership. The teachers of the race should not be contented not to be heard from as teachers in this great struggle for upholding the race. They are no secondary power in this work of civilization. No set of persons has done more or can do more for it than the faithful teachers, however little they may be taken into count. Why should not we, like other workers, get together, understand each other and make one solid front for the advancement of education. A call for this organisation meeting will be issued early in the spring. The time and place for this meeting are yet to be settled upon. We shall be glad to have suggestions upon these points. Such men, women and material are being secured for the program as will make the organising meeting most interesting and helpful. JOHN R. E. LEE.

The roof of this long plaza is covered with tin. Both first and second stories are ceilled overhead with narrow yellow pine beaded ceiling. The other inside wood-work is all yellow pine, finished in the natural wood. The building is heated by steam, steam being supplied from the central power house, the plant at the Trades Building, and was installed by the students. It is lighted by electricity. The large turned posts used on the plaza were gotten out in the wood turning shop and among some of the largest columns yet turned out by the young men of that division. All the plans for the building were drawn by the Institute architectural drawing Instructor, and the building was erected under a trained building expert, a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. To the Superintendents of Children's Bands, Auxiliary to the B, W. E. C. Dear Sisters: I again appeal to you in the interest of the Children's Band. We came from our last Convention very much encouraged over our financial success: but we must continue to work to accomplish our undertaking. This work should not be confined to a few, but to the many Baptists of the State of Kentucky. The women are making a double effort; we children went to do likewise. Plan some way that you can get the children interested in the work; have the bands meet regularly. We are not only after the amount the children send us for our work, but we want them trained to do religious work—that of giving without receiving—as our blessed Master has said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." By the assistance of the Lord we hope to do more this year than we have in any previous year. May peace and prosperity remain with each and every one of you is the prayer of your humble servant.

Morris, the Foreign Mission Board accidentally planned a rally for November on Bible day. This was to some extent getting on the Publishing Board's territory. Secretary Jordan called the attention of the Board to it and at once sent an abology and the mistake corrected. But to our surprise last week there appeared an announcement in the National Baptist Union to the effect that the Publishing Board was going to issue an Easter programme or exercise for the very day that the Foreign Mission Board has been observing for the past several years to raise special offerings for Foreign Missions. This is a mistake and should be corrected at once, for while no intentional wrong was intended, it is absolutely sure that it will work great injury to the Foreign Mission work and probably, prevent the paying of the salaries to the missionaries in foreign fields as has been the custom at this season of the year. For eight years this day has been especially set apart for Foreign Missions and now that the people are understanding it and helping support the missionaries, it will do no good for another Board to select that day for another cause and divert the attention of the few schools and churches, that are just taking hold of the Foreign mission work. Besides this it is the oldest of all our organized departments and while Negro Baptists are not doing all they shou'd for Foreign Missions, they will surely not approve a movement knowingly that may wrong our missionaries, thousands of miles away. There should be concert of action between the Boards of the Convention and each fully respect and support the rights of the other. WHATEVER may have been the reasons for the indefinite postponement of the Hefflin bill to disfranchise the Negro vote in this State, it is evident to the casual observer that the Louisville Herald is in error in insinuating that the liquor interests have been benefitted by that vote and would lose power if the Negro vote was eliminated, and on that account had secured a change in the plans of the advocates of that measure. Our people in many cases indulge in the use of intoxicants but it is also a matter of record that wherever local option laws have been adopted in this State it has been done largely by the aid of the Negro vote and in many cases it could not have been done without that vote. The Negro has enough sins to atone for without having other burdens placed upon him, but in this case he is almost willing to accept any reason offered for the postponement or defeat of this measure. Reasons avail but little now but the result is very satisfactory and satisfying to our people for which they are profoundly grateful. The Bradley Bill to extend to the fifth and sixth class cities of this State the provisions of the registration law and to compel each voter registered to take a cer- tificate of registration and to prevent the same at the polls as a requirement for voting has become a law. This measure upon its face seems to be perfectly just and perhaps is necessary, but it will allow large opportunities for questionable methods in elections. We want to urge our people to be exceedingly careful about the matter of registering and then carefully retaining the certificate until the day of the election. Efforts will certainly be made to obtain these certificates by purchase and other means as a man will be just as completely disfranchised without a registration certificate as if he had been disfranchised otherwise. --- AFTER an extended agitation a way has at last been found by which gambling can be suppressed in this city. Acting Mayor Barth has proven himself equal to the task and whether it is permanent or not he has succeeded in ridding the city of gambling at least for the time being. It took courage to take this action but when the moral sense of the people was aroused and the occasion demanded it the acting Mayor gave the order in which the Board of Safety acquiesced and the rest was only the work of a few hours. Some few held out but when the slot machines were confiscated it was soon realized that the Mayor was in earnest and gambling ceased. Mayor Barth is to be congratulated upon his firm stand and for the good accomplished. Time will tell as to whether the law will be permanently enforced or not. The terrible fire in the wholesale business district in Baltimore last Sunday was equalled only by the great Chicago fire of 1871 and entailed a loss of $125,000,000 and strange to say, only one life. Buildings covering 140 acres and 75 squares of property were destroyed during the raging fire of twenty-eight hours duration. Fully 50,000 men are thrown out of employment and there is much suffering, but the authorities have announced their ability to provide what is necessary without outside assistance. The fire district is gaurded by soldiers and quiet and order is being maintained. The people are showing hopefulness and are determined to overcome their great loss and resume business. THE burning of a clored man, Luther Holbert and his wife at the stake by an infuriated mob last Sunday at Doddsville, Miss., was the ending of a terrible tragedy which resulted in the death of eight persons—two being killed by the Holberts and six by the mob under the guise of a posse. The Holberts no doubt deserved severe punishment which could have been administered legally without this brutality and violence, as the victims were arrested asleep after a few days chase by blood hounds, But, instead of this, when they were in custody they were hurried to Doddsville and under the very shadow of a church where religious services were in progress, they were tied to the stake and burned. A severe retribution must follow such justice or vengeance. In another column will be found the announcement of the Executive Board of the General Association relative to the appointment of Rev C H. Parrish, D D., as one of the delegates to the World's Sunday School Convention to be held in Jerusalem. The Board warmly approves the suggestion for Kentucky Baptists to assist in providing funds to pay the expense of the trip and we hope the churches. Sunday schools and friends will comply with the request of the Board. Faith is the key that unlocks the cabinet of the promises, and empties out their treasures into the soul.—Watson.

Major, A. T. Wood of Mt. Sterling has been named as Pension Agent for Kentucky to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the late Gen. D. R. Collier. Major Wood is an old soldier and a Republican of the old school and his appointment gives general satisfaction. From Bloomfield. Rev Craig the missionary and colporter for the white Baptist of Kentucky, preached for us Monday night Feb 1st, Subject, The Operations of the Holy Spirit. He left some of his books and tracts with us. Rev. W. A. Burns, the white Baptist pastor of our town preached for us Sunday night, subject, Sanctification. Rev. Burns is a new pastor in our town and he is doing much good for his people. Both of these ministers are able men and they rendered us good service. The time has come that churches want preachers of the gospel and no one can preach the gospel unless he is sent by the Lord Jesus. It should never be forgotten that Christ commissioned the first opossies to preach, and in order to preach there must be teachingr Therefore nothing can take the place of teaching the gospel. And I am glad that we have many men among us who can and do preach the gospel. The State University Louisville, is doing great good in helping men to preach the gospel of Christ. Every young minister ought to spend two years at least in the Theological department of State University, he will never forget it. The Second Baptist Church is still moving on with her motto lifed high. We are expecting to have a musical entertainment the last of this month under the leadership of Miss Emma Claybourn one of our teachers. To the Baptists of Kentucky. At the regular meeting of the Executive Board of the General Association, February 8th, the following resolution was adopted: "Whereas, Rev. C. H. Parrish, D. D. Chairman of this Board has been designated as American delegate to the world's fourth Sunday School Convention which is to be held at Jerusalem March 8th, 1904. "Be it, Resolved that we regard this not only as deserved recognition of his worth and fitness, but a signal honor shown Kentucky Baptists by the National Baptist Convention. It will comport with the generosity of Kentucky to defray his expenses since this state shall have the immediate benefit of the results of his observations, the facts gathered in this Mediterranean cruise of the Holy Land. We endorse his appointment and further designate him as special messenger of Kentucky Baptists. We also request the pastors, churches, Sunday Schools, B. Y. P. U's., Missionary Societies and public spirited citizens in the state to rally to his support financially. We should see to it that not less than $8000 is sent to his address, 764 Fifth st., Louisville, Ky., by Feb. 25th, as he shall leave the state about March 2nd sailing on the 8th at 3 o'clock p. m. from New York on the "Grosser Kurfurst" for the Holy Land.

During that time he has proved a true and earnest worker and has borne the burden in the heat of the day. He has lived a consistent christian life while in our midst and his footsteps have ever been guided by God. He is a worthy and able minister of the gospel, has our deepest sympathies and we pray God that he may soon recover and again go forth on the field and raise God's banner. A Pastor's House Burned. It is with much sorrow that we enter these lines to state to the people of our State, that on Saturday Feb 6th the house and contents of the Rev. C. D. Blakemore of New Castle was destroyed by fire with his library, which contained manv valuable books, valued at $500.00. He has the symyathy of the town and vicinity and we feel that he should be remembered by his ministerial brethren throughout the State. There was no insurance.

Motto Text—' It is lawful to do well on the Sabbath day."—Matt. 12:12. "At that time Jesus went on the Sabbath through the corn."—The time was during his work in Galilee. The Sabbath day of the Jews began at sundown on Friday and closed at sundown on Saturday. Corn means either wheat or barley. There were no fences, and the paths lay through the grain fields. "And his disciples were a hungered and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat."—It is thought, they had been to the synagogue to prayer. The Jews were accustomed to go before breakfast. Luke tells us the disciples rubbed them in their hands. "But when the Pharisees saw it."—These may have been following the Lord, or merely going home from the synagogue by the same path. "Beshold, thy disciple do that which is not lawful to do upon the Sabbath day."—The law of Moses expressly permitted what they were doing but the Rabbis had said it must not be done on the Sabbath day. They reasoned that the plucking the grain and rubbing off the chaff in the hands was reaping and thrashing which were for bidden. "Have ye not read what David did, when he was a hungered?"—Our Lord does not say that David's doing a thing made it right. But these Pharisees so exalted David that they would not say what he did was wrong. And the Lord shows them that if they justified David they would not rebuke his disciples for a less offense "How he entered into the house of God", the tabernacle. "And did eat the shewbread."—Twelve loaves of bread put on the table in the outer room of the tabernacle, the Holy place, and taken away every week when others were put in their place. After the new ones were arranged, the loaves which had been removed could be eaten, but only by the priests, the sons of Aaron. "Or have ye not read in the law, now that on the Sabbath days the piesters in the temple profane the Sabbath and are blameless?"-They killed the sacrifices and did other things in the temple service which were forbidden on the Sabbath. They were blameless because God had commanded them to do these things, and God is Lord of the Sabbath. "But I say unto you, that in this place is one greater than the temple."—The temple was superior to the Sabbath, and there was that here which was superior to the temple; much more then might the usual law of the Sabbath be set aside without blame, when it became necessary for his disciples in his service."—Broadus. "If ye had known what this meanth."—The Pharisees prided the useless upon their knowledge of the law, and knew the words of Hosea; but their conduct showed no knowledge of the real meaning of the words. "I will have mercy and not sacrifice.'"—Mercy rather than sacrifice; and he would accept no sacrifice from those who have no mercy. Hosea's word has a far wider meaning than the English word mercy. It means chiefly piety. Sacrifice was the chief thing in the external worship under the old dispensation. But it must be offered with piety in the heart or God would not accept. "Ye would not have condemned the guiltless"—Our Lord justifies his disciples for eating the grain to satisfy their hunger. "For the Son of man is Lord PSON even of the Sabbath day."—Unless Jesus of Nazareth was God, his egotism and conceit has never been equaled among men. Those who say he was not God but was a good man, surely have not read his words about himself. God had commanded the Sabbath from the flaming Sinai; it was because God commanded the sacrifices and he was Lord of the Sabbath that the priests in the temple were blameless. By asserting himself as Lord of God's commands, Jesus of Nazareth asserted his Godhead. Our Lord asserted his absolute sovereignty over the Sabbath, but neither here nor elsewhere did he set it aside. He came to fulfill the law, not to overthrow it. He did not go beyond the Old Testament, but showed from it that works of necessity and of worship were allowed upon the Sabbath. "And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue."—The synagogue of the place to which he had gone. Luke says it was on another Sabbath, and it may have been the next. Our Lord, from his youth up, was a regular attendant at the synagogue. That so many of the elders and rules were hypocrites was to him no reason for neglecting the public worship. "And, behold, there was a man which had his hand with red."—Luke tells us it was his right hand. "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath days?"—The Rabbis contended it was not unless life was in danger. "That they might accuse him."—Of violating the Sabbath before the local tribunal. In the previous part of the lesson he appealed to the Scripture. Now he appeals to their own consciences One sheep was of little consequence; yet if it fell into a pit every man would lift it out and would feel that he committed a sin if he did not lift it out, in spite of all the hair-splitting o the Talmud on the subject. "How much then is a man better than a sheep?"—This question in Mark intimates that the man would be injured by delay in healing him. If they would not leave a sheep to suffer, how could they find fault with him for not leaving a man? "Then saith he to the man, Stretch toth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was re stored whole, like as the other."—Would seem that in view of such a miracle, showing so plainly the power of God, the Pharisees would not have dared to move against the Lord. But they went out to plot against him. It would have been difficult, as Dr. Broadus says, to call this a breaking of the Sabbath from their own standpoint, because our Lord only spoke to the man. Thus the Lord showed that works of mercy as well as those of necessity and of worship were permitted upon the Sabbath.
