But before this happéned Sir Geor, Burclay had been -tuken from the room overlooking the siave market. He did not seb the Sultan Casim Am- meh come in person to save the giri. He did not know that, In Pansy's cane, at any rate, the auction had been but 'a pretense. When Pansy returned to congelods. ness she felt she had awakened from some nightmare and was back in her own world, a. civilized world; her capture by the Sultan Casim Ammeh and all the subsequent .happeninga some wild dream, terrifying in its reality as dreams can be. She was lying -on a big bed in a shady room, among sheets and. pi lows -of finest linen: a solld br: bedstead such as might have ceme from any good shop in London, n among. silken cushions and rugs on an ottoman. And there was a bed- room suite of scme cholce grey wood with a litter of gold toilet appoint- menta on the wide dressing table. An_elderly woman, brown-skinned and black-eved, dressed in & swath- ing of white muslin, was seated by the bedside, fanning herself with a regular movement, and the tresh with the scent of eaus de-cologne. Beyond the woman—-all down one side of the room—ran a series of arches, over which were drawn blinds of split bamboo. With the feeling of fragments: of her .nightmare still clinging about her, Pansy sat up. Then, with & rush, came back the scene in the slave market. “Where is Mr. Le Breton? asked in a dazed manner. She expected the woman to dis claim all knowledge of any such p son Howcver, ghe rose immediately. 11 fetch him,” she said in French. She made toward a curtained door- way. Pansy watched her go. And her gaze stayed anxiously on the spot where the woman had disappeared. A few ,moments pas: and the curtains were drawn aside again. The woman entered.

STEVENSON. ‘We will complete our stydy of Luki ®gospel during the coming quarters study. from the last three months of the Master's ministry. The nearer Jesus approached the cross the more in- tenre became the activity of His enem|e: especially the Pharisees. | They had succeeded in closing the synagogue pulplts of Judea and Gall- lee by their bitter opposition to the Lord. - They followed Him into the remote sections of Perea, where the rivilege of predching was still open i the tor, who 414 hot hesitate to publicly meet their attacks By analysing and unvelling their spirit ng ootrine con- cerning the use of privileges. antagonism between Christ and the es _was along three lines. Jesus sought’ to liberate humanity from the manacies of ceremonial and traditional refigious lsws. He showed friendship with discredited oclasses. He made use of the Sabbath for healing men and women. Some stu- dents of the life of Jesus are inclined to belipve that His death was largely due to the freedom with which He used the Sabbath. > Christ, apsumed the position of a rmer in refersnce to the lawful of the Sabbath. It { ident ing_ upo: A that He' could -deliberately grotest againet the ‘hard epirit of udalsm of His day. Early in His ministry our Lord met with opposi- tlon from the Pharisees’ because of His radical and iconoclastic views in reference to the Sabbath. In His con- troversies over the proper use of the day Jesus souxht to condemn the ex- ternal and conventional uses of the Sabbath. The Master was not seek- ing to undermine the Sabbath that was founded upon the unwritten law of nature. He sought to restore the day to its lawful for rest, refiec tion and reverence, as it was orginal- Iy planned In the divine economy for the teaching of salvation and the ritual upbuilding of men. Christ aimed to recall His countrymen to place of the Sabbath in the life of men, which required that sll should rest’ one day in seven from their toil. The shameful neglect of the Sabbath was the germ of the Jewish captivity. The modern tendency of our times {0 disregard the Sabbath is a menace 1o civilization. The liberty of rest for each depends upon the liberty .of rest for all. Both society and the state owe it, not_as a duty toward God, hut to themselves to see to it that the toiling masees of humanity shall have pre- served for them as a rest day one day In seven. If we do not curb the spirit >f commerclalism. that compels men to labor every day without rest, we will lose our place among the nations of the earth. ‘essation. from labor that man may recuperate, repair and restore the muscular, mental and moral parts of his life is required by nature. The rest secured during the night is not suficient to preserve the fullnesa of one's strength for service. France tried to changs its Sabbath ta one day in ten with gisastrous results. Tt can be easily demonstrated that man, beast and machinery will produce r results and remain in a state of efficiency for a longer period by observing one day in seven for rest than by working con- tinuous The Jews from the days of Nehem- igh's revival had laid al stress u the observance of Sabbath. them it was more than & rest day, w! the Assyrians, there was only ® cessation from labor.

The small nucleus of legal requirements grew imto & sys- tem that became burdensome and op- pressive, until they becama a'curse in- stead of a blessing. . Jesus, in His love for humanity, “set efiance the Sabbatarianism of His day.” His attitude in reference to the Sabbath was determined by three prin- ciples, which the Master used in this, His last recorded syn e service as a preacher, viz: “Life is before laws; necessity is beyond laws; service is be- Air Mail Flyer ‘Cheats Death 2 .

Others would have seen a pysch logioal “spirit of infirmity,” that was deep seated and apparentiy incurable. Jesus ised that Satan was re- sposaible for hef trouble, which had clouded hér reason with & spirit of mel- ancholy, He was moved with the spirit of compassion for the suffering “daugh- ter of Abraham.” He believed that it was lawful to do good upon the Sab- bath, He knew that His enemies would take advantage of it, but He did not hesitate to cure her. The great Physician comforted her. His voice attracted her attention by its sympathetic tone. . He probably called her by name. He aroused her faith and developed her hope when He spoke to her, summoning the afioted one’ to come to Him. The congregation was filled with excite- ment, when they saw Jesus touch her with His hands and heard Him assure her that she was free from her in- firmity. Hlis touch helped her faith. Immediately “the tightened muscies relaxed, the bent form regained its earlier grace, for in a moment Christ had relieved her from her incurable infirmity 80 that -she was made ralght and glorified God.
