RETH CALDWELL. Allan of| Dr, 11 again to India hrch of Notre Dame du Sablon— Brussels, HE city of Brussels, founded by St. Gery, and subsequertly evan- gelized new by Et. Elol, St. Vinditian end St. Boniface, has for more than 1,000 years been distinguished for- its loyalty to the Catholic faith. It was in this city, then the capital of the Low Countries, as now of Belgium, that 400 nobles pre- sented to the lady governor, Marg erite of Parma, the petition against the severity of the Spanish rule that won for then: the sobriquet of the Gueux, or “Begg which they henceforth adopted as their rallying cry. ‘The whole Belgian people may be said to have been, in a certain sense, mar- tyrs to their religion for nearly 300 years, being obliged to choose between political independence on the one hand and the liberty of serving God accord- ing to the dictates of their own con- sciences on the other. ‘The house in which Gueux first as- sembled stood on a public square called he Place au Petit Sablon, or Kleine Zaavelplaatz, On this same square stands the church, one of the numer- ous places of worship in Brussels. Though commonly known as Our Lady of the Sands, in reference to the name of the park, its real title is the church of Our Lady of Victories— Notre Dame des Victoires. It was founded in 1304 by the guild of the crossbowmen, with the assistance of the Duke of Brabant, in obedience to a vow and as a memorial of a victory over the Prince-Bishop of Cologne. It was almost entirely rebuilt in the fif- teenth and sixteenth centuries, and has been restored at great cost and in the most perfect taste in the last century since the Belgian independence. Belgium. Its. doorway is in the best style of Gothic art, and is considered the finest in Brussels. The pulpit is a remarkably fine specimen of wood-carving, and some of the beautiful stained-glass win- dows of the fifteenth century still re- main. The choir is adorned with mural paintings, reproduced with scrupulous accuracy from the fifteenth century originals discovered in 1860 in the course of the repairs. There are also some paintings by Van Eyck and other masters, but the chief interest of the edific is in the numerous tombs and mausoleums it contains. Here rest the remains of the cele- brated poet of the eighteenth century, Jean Baptiste Rousseau, removed hither from the neighboring Carmelite monas- tery in 1842. In another chapel is a monument erected in 1856 to the mem. ory of the Marquis de Verghera, com- mander of the Austrian forces in the Low Countries in the last century. Count Flaminius Garnler, secretary to the Duke of Parma, one of the best of the Spanish governors, is commemo- rated by a series of alabaster bas-relief, representing _incidents in the life of Our Lady. Perhaps the handsomest part of the building is the seventeenth century burial-chapel of the princes of one of the noblest |- Zhurn and Tax houses of Europe. It occupies the north transept, and is sumptuously adorned with black and white marbles. In the dome are the armorial bearings of the family to which it belongs, and over the altar is a statue of St. Ursula by Henri Duquesney, and on one side stands an angel bearing a torch, the work of Genpello.

Golden text—"Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you."—John, xv.14. During His ministry in Perea, the Lord Jesus made two short visits to Judea. On His first trip at the time of the Feast of Dedication, that com- memorated the national deliverance by the Maccabees from the oppression of the Syrians, He appeared publicly in Jerusalem, claiming that He was the expected Messiah. During His minis- try the Master had no place that He could call home. It was at this mo- ment of approaching doom that the home at Bethany, where Jesus loved to be, was opened to Him. While a guest of these hospitable friends the Master was called upon to settle a difference that developed in the home between the two sisters who sought to show the courtesy due their Guest in different ways, Martha sought to honor Christ with an elaborate meal, Mary, having performed some task assigned to her, had commenced to listen in a sympathetic way to the Lord's teaching. Her close attention to His messages pleased the Master to that extent that Martha became irri- tated and, wrought up by Mary’s cons- tinuous efforts to hear the words of Christ Jesus, approached their Guest and complained that He had permitted this attitude on the part of Mary. Without being offended at her because she registered the protest, the Master defended Mary's action by pointing out to Martha that the cause of her “prainstorm” was due to the fact that she was fretting over the details of serving the meal, when they did not need more than one thing. Although rations that Martha was making, He commended to her the courtesy of her sister, who had shown a spiritual sym- pathy with His message and program. Both attitudes were needed, but in the approaching darkness our Lord appre- clated an intense interest in His teach- ings more than He did food. He loved them both and especially their brother, Lazarus. Among His Disciples. Spiritual life is contagious. The disciples, who were with the Master, had cbserved His habit of going alone to pray. They requested Him, after He had been praying in a certain place, that He would teach them how to pray. They evidently had detected a difference in the petitions of their Teacher from those of John, who had taught his disciples some form of prayer. No greater request could have been made of the Lord Jesus. Prayer 1s our greatest privilege and power. In reply to the petition of His dis- ciples, Christ gave to them a model that should guide our prayers. It has been popularly called the Lord's Prayer because He taught it, but strictly speaking it is the disciples’ prayer. It is concise, yet comprehensive. It is so simple that a child could understand it, yet it is so'universal in its appli- cation that men of every faith can use it in their devotion. In this model prayer we learn that we should place God first in our worship. Frequently we fail in our prayer life because we approach the throne of grace seeking not the glory of God, but are moved by some selfish desire or ambition. Our Lord taught us that we should put first the things that belong to God—His e, His honor and His cause. He taught us not only to show reverence for our heavenly Father, but to realize our absolute dependence upon Him to supply all our physical, mental and spiritual needs. He teaches us to look to Him for the remission of our sins or our failures to come up to His stand- ards. We should seek strength from Him to master the trials and tests of our life. Jesus encouraged His disciples to pray by a parable that makes the ! | | Jesus appreciated the extensive prepa- | chool Lesson eartlessness of & human neighbor | teach the gelf-sacrificing love of the Divine Neighbor. I a heartless neigh- bor will finally respond to the request of a good neighbor's persistent prayer for bread, we can count upon the love of God supplying our needs if we ask in faith in the Lord's name. Certainly we may look to Him to give unto us the Holy Spirit. Jesus assures us that if we ask we shall receive. He promises us that if we seek by prayer, we shall find. If we knock at the throne of Divine grace we will have opened to us the doors of privilege and power. Every prayer of faith is certain of a hearing and an answer. Let us not forget that throughout His teachings upon grlyzr, Jesus took it for granted' that His disciples would ask for the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Man's best impulses ought to help us understand God according to our Master’s teaching. Rebuking His Enemies. One's judgment of others is an index to their character. The criticism of some of those who sald that Jesus performed one of His miracles by the power of Beelzebub, the chief of the devils, revealed their depraved nature. The Lord met their charge by a state- ment, ““That a house divided against {tself, how could it stand? It must fall.” Having answered their charge by His reasoning, He apried their own charge against themselves by asking, “If I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out?” According to Matthew's gospel, after this en- counter with His enemles our Lord uttered His warning concerning the sin against the Holy Ghost, saying that all manner of sin would be forgiven men except sin against the Holy Ghost. Men have differed about the nature of the unpardonable sin, but the way the warning against it is linked up in Mat- thew's gospel with the false charge |that Jesus had performed His miracle of casting out devils by the power of Beezlebub has suggested to many that the unforgiven and unpardonable sin h REV.

According to a distinguished Jewish rabbi there were seven classes of the Pharisee sect in Jerusalem during the Master's day. Six of them were com- posed of men noted for their “ethic: and spiritual culture,” The Talmud, he tells us, speaks of a seventh class, called “S'bhu’im,” dyed or hypocrites, who were condemned by the Jews of that time in the same terms that marked the Lord’s denunciation of the Pharisees when He clashed with them at this 's house when they found fault with Jesus for not - ing the ritualistic requirements of wash- g. The Master brought the interview with this Pharisee to a close with one of the most_terrible condemnations found in the Bible. A pompous scribe suggested to Jesus that he recognized | that such charges applied to him and | that he refused to stand for it. The Lord Jesus saw in this the evidence of the commencement of open hostility, Iorflemhhmdggu c’lna'mé soclal and pronounced a_judgmen upon them. That for which Jesu.d‘l:en- sured the lawyer is today the besetting sin of all legalists in religion. Christ had seen h their strategy. The fact that they pretended to be friends Go et iR 'm may have promp m with such severity of language. His enemies commenced to try to catch Him saying something that could use ;flm{ him. Their bitterness was pro- etic of His approaching doom. We are fiving in an hour that tests our fidelity to the Lord Jesus just as much as His loyal followers and friends were tested in that ial 7 Tt our loyalty to His commands. us Christ Jesus by obeying PASTOR CONTINUES HIS SERIES ON SIN Dr. Sizoo to Preach on “A Tragic Confession” Tomor- row Morning.
