W Abuna1uN, 1'AR, pmrrt il THI town and county of Blois are closely associated with the history of Norman England, as they were the domain of Stephen, who occupied the English throne on the death of Henry Beauclerc. Here was the famous abbey of Savigny, the center of a monastic reform which produced what was prob- ably the first of the great coherent orders that have grown up on the Ben- edictine stem. From it branched off, un- der the patronage of King Stephen, the arch-abbey of Furness in Engiand, which, in 1148, when the Savignians were merged into the Cistercian order, had the local supervision and rule over at least a dozen great monasteries of THOMAS (The Hbnest Doubter.) John, x1.14-16; Xxx.24-20; xxi.1-2. Golden Text.—Thomas answer- ed and said unto him, My Lord and My John, xx.28. Thomas by his relation to Jesus is based upon facts, that appeal to rea- son. Practically all that we know of his character is found in the passages from John’s Gospel that has been chosen for our lesson. An eminent writer has pointed out that these sages reveal the traits of the apostle’s personality with a greater precision than we have of any other member of the Apostolic College, except Peter, John and Judas. ‘The fact that Thomas has been called a doubter has caused many to mis- ju him. They failed to have con- sidered the vital importance it has been for the Lord Jesus to have within His chosen aj les & person whose desire for knowledge caused him to test the Master’s resurrection. ‘“‘Chronic doubt- ers seldom become devout believers, but honest doubters are cpen to conviction.” Jesus understood Thomas and He made special concessions to him in order that He could help the apostle to solve his intellectual doubts. Thomas built up his faith upon reason in a manner that has aided many modern men tremend- ously, when they have tried to solve the problems presented by the claims of the Lord Jesus. Cour: s Pessimist. About two monbhs before the Master's crucifixion, while Christ was working in Perea, east of the Jordan, a mes- sage reached Him at Bethabara that Lazarus was serfously ill. Our Lord saw in the sorrow that had fallen upon the members of the Bethany home an op- portunity to build up the faith of the apostles and render a real service to those, whom He loved in that home, where He loved to be. It had been a lace where He found hospitality and spiritual fellowship. He loved Lazarus and the two sisters in that home. He waited for two days before He told the apostles that He proposed to return to Bethany to minister unto His friends there. ‘Thomas recognized the danger of the Master’s plan. Jesus had no reason to fear Herod Antipas, who was the ruler in Perea. The ecclesiastical party did | not control him, but Bethany was close to Jerusalem, where the prestige and power of the Sanhodrin might lead to the Lord’s arrest. Just before they had come into Perea, the Lord's claim of divine sonship had angered the Jewish leaders to that extent they they started to stone Him. Enraged by His teach- ings, they had determined to arrest Him. Thomas was of a pessimistic turn of mind. In view of the fact that Jesus had told them that Lazarus was dead, it seemed to him pure madness for the Lord to return to Bethany. He saw the peril that they all faced, but Thomas proved his love and loyalty, when he courageously urged them all to join the Lord in His plans, believing that it would cost every one of them their lives, Although he was pessi- mistic as to the value of the trip, for he did not know the Master's program or motives, Thomas demonstrated his loyalty and fidelity when he willingly faced death. The dreams of the king- dom appeared to him to be gone. Their hopes to see the Roman Government driven out of Palestine appeared blasted. In face of it all he showed a courage- ous spirit and loyalty to the Lord. The Cautious Investigator. In the upper room, where Jesus had partaken of the Passover and instituted the Lord’s supper, the Master tried to prepare His apostles for His rapidly ap- proaching death. Fac that dark hour Thomas was puzzled. He could not grasp the idea of Jesus suffering and he voices a common question, that naturally arises, when all of our ma- teralistic hopes are blasted by the sud- den appearance of death. He wanted some definite assurance that deathedid not end all. We may wish that he had not interrupted the Master, who had | stated that they understood how He was going to the Father by the way of death and the resurrection, Thomas with bluntness expressed the attitude of the a) , when he told Jesus that they not know the way and asked furnished the mwumwugge-flhmm profound _interpretation o words, '!m'.he'l!vudtheku%n&: cometh uni It tht Thomas | demonstrates the fact that Christianity | The Cathedral—Blois, France. the affiliation of Savigny in various parts of the British !sles: The venerable Cathedral of Blois was destroyed during the PFrench Revolu- tion and was afterward replaced by the present handsome cruciform structure which our picture represents. It is dedicated to St. Louis the King, under the title of St. Louis de Blois. From 1576 to 1588 the states-general of France were held in this town, on account of the disturbances resulting from the Huguenots’ rebellion, and here, at the close of that period, Henry, third Duke of Guise, and his brother, Louis, ‘.;cqm;d cardinal of Guise, were mur- | dered.

In is dim uncertainty, Thomas remained faithful to the Lord Jesus in his loyalty and love. The only way men can see or know God to- day is through Jesus Christ. Revelation Brings Conviction. Thomas was absent from the meet- ing of the disciples when Jesus ap- peared to them um the day of His resurrection. He passed through the “sorrow that tests the strongest men. His faith and hopes had all been destroyed by the cross. He had lis- tened to the reports of the women and | doubted them. In this he was joined by other members of the apostolic col- lege. When he heard them tell the story of Christ's appearance to them, he insisted that he must put his hands into the wounds made in His bod while He was on the cross before he would believe. A week went by. The deflant dis- believer in the possibility of the Lord’ resurrection was present with the other apostles in the upper room, when Christ suddenly appeared. When Jesus singled Thomas out and met his con- ditions, the apostle did not put forth his hands to feel the wounds. The revelation convinced him that Christ had risen. He at once confessed his faith in Him, crying out, “My Lord and God.” The cautious seeker for the truth had his doubts completely re- moved by the revelation that demon- strated beyond question the reality of the Lord’s resurrection. Although Jesus met the doubts of Thomas with proofs that convinced the apostle, He did not commend his doubts. Probably because the apostle insisted that his tests must be met, when he should have accepted the evi- dence that was presented to him by the witnesses who had seen Him after He had risen. Jesus said that those “who have not seen, yet have be- lieved,” were the blessed ones, Each of us has the privilege of sharing in that blessing. In every hour of doubt, we can count upon securing & blessing if we turn to the Lord Jesus and fol- low Him.
