53 "And they went every man unto his own house; but Jesus 1 went unto the Mount of Olives. And early in the morning 2 he came again into the temple, and all the people came 3 unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; 4 and having set her in the midst, they say unto him, Master, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very 5 act. Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such; 6 what then sayest thou of her? And this they said, tempting him, that they might have whereof to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground. 7 But when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let 8 him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, 9 and with his finger wrote on the ground. And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, even unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and 10 the woman, where she was, in the midst. And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did 11 no man condemn thee? And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn thee; go thy way; from henceforth sin no more. 12 "Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk 13 in the darkness, but shall have the light of life. The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest witness of thy14 self; thy witness is not true. Jesus answered and said unto them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know 15 not whence I come, or whither I go. Ye judge after the 16 flesh; I judge no man. Yea and if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent 17 me. Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of 18 two men is true. I am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me."

NOTES.
1. The Feast of Tabernacles is ended. For a week they have lived in booths, "to commemorate the time when the Hebrews dwelt in tents during their sojourn in the wilderness," but "the last day, that great day of the feast," with its experiences,13as set forth in the last lesson, is gone, and "every man went unto his own house;" but "Jesus went unto the Mount of Olives." They had permanent dwellings to which they could return after their brief and typical experience of camp life, but not so with him. Matt. 8:20. He seeks the solitude of the mountain as being more in harmony with his feelings, and as offering the desired opportunity for communion with his Father. The shadow of the cross is deepening, and the climax of his earthly career is nearing. Feeling the need of that help rendered necessary by his humanity, he seeks it from the Father, just as we are bidden to do.
2. The story of the woman taken in sin "reveals in our Saviour's character a wisdom so profound, a tenderness to sinners so delicate, a hatred of sin so intense, an insight into human hearts so searching, that it is impossible to suppose the mind of man could have conceived, or the hand of man invented, this most pathetic story."
3. "Jesus well knew for what purpose this case had been brought to him; he read the secrets of their hearts, and knew the character and life history of every man in his presence. He seemed indifferent to the question of the Pharisees, and, while they were talking and pressing about him, he stooped and wrote carelessly with his finger in the sand. Altho doing this without apparent design, Jesus was tracing on the ground, in legible characters, the particular sins of which the woman's accusers were guilty, beginning with the eldest and ending with the youngest. . . . As their eyes fell upon the words written in the sand, fear and surprise took possession of them. The people looking on saw their countenances suddenly change, and pressed forward to discover what they were regarding with such an expression of astonishment and shame. Many of those who thus gathered round also read the record of hidden sin inscribed against these accusers of another. . . . There was not one of her accusers but was more guilty than the conscience-stricken woman who stood trembling with shame before him."
4. "Jesus did not palliate sin nor lessen the sense of crime; but he came not to condemn; he came to lead the sinner to eternal life. . . . Instead of to condemn the guilty, his work was to reach into the very depths of human wo and degradation, lift up the debased and sinful, and bid the trembling penitent to sin no more."
5. "It is a terrible thing for a sinner to fall into the hands of his fellow sinners. Sin blinds them to their own faults, but sharpens them to detect the faults of others. . . . Ah, how many there are around us who had never come to what they are, had they not been driven to it by the way in which the religious people around them dealt with their first deviation from the paths of strict integrity. . . . The world is full of sinners who are plunging into deeper sin, because they have been taught by their more religious fellows that there is no hope for such as they are. But they might be saved if they could only be freed from the religious world and left alone with Jesus. . . . O souls conscious of sin, do not wait to be brought into his holy presence! Haste thither of your own freewill. It is the only place in all the universe where you will be safe. Accusing voices are hushed there, and accusing forms are banished. Wait! He will condemn thy sin but not thee."
6. "This was the beginning of a new life to this tempted, fallen soul—a life of purity and peace, devoted to the service of God. In raising this woman to a life of virtue, Jesus performed a greater act than that of healing the most grievous bodily malady; he cured the sickness of the soul which is unto death everlasting. This penitent woman became one of the firmest friends of Jesus."
Suggestions for Further Study.
1. Christ wrote the law on stone, but the sins of these men on the sand. What lesson do these facts teach?
2. How is life only in Christ taught in this lesson?
3. Who acts the part of an accuser even in the presence of the Lord? Read Zechariah 3. Whose mouthpiece are those who do the same?
4. In connection with verse 12 study the following scriptures: 1 John 1:5; Matt. 5:14; John 17:18. Compare the light of the physical world with the light of the spiritual world. See Mal. 4:2.
5. How did Christ bear witness of himself? How did the Father bear witness of him?
"POLITICAL SPEECHES AND DEBATES of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas."
CONTAINS all the important speeches of "The Giants" from 1854 to 1861, giving a fair and full history of the slavery question and the great Constitutional questions involved therein from the beginning of the nation to the outbreak of the Civil War.
Though the great Civil War is a thing of the past, the principles over which the war was fought will live till the national life is extinct. The vital question of that day was whether "government of the people, for the people, by the people" should remain or be destroyed.
Is it not as necessary to the well-being of government that these principles be maintained to-day? As a fresh attack is now being made on our Constitution, should not every thinking man study the history of those days, that he may know how to direct his efforts to-day? These questions are pertinent, and every American should give them careful consideration.
The work contains 555 pages, printed from new, clear type, with numerous full-page half-tone illustrations, including portraits of Lincoln and Douglas. Bound in Buckram - - - - - - $1.75

LESSON VIII.—SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1896
"Take heed unto thyself; and unto the doctrine;" "that thy profiting may appear to all."
1. My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee; bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart;
So shall thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear the Lord, and depart from evil;
It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thine increase;
So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction;
For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth;
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
She is more precious than rubies; and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honor.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness; and all her paths are peace.
Golden Text: "In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." Prov. 3: 6.

NOTES.
1. Shall they add to thee.—In the original the verb "add" has the masculine ending, to indicate "they add." So Professor Miller suggests that the nominative is found in "length," "years" (margin), and "peace," which are masculine, while "law" and "commandments" are feminine. This would give the idea that "length of days, and years of life, and peace" will make one greater, will add to him, if he forgets not the law, and keeps the commandments. While the long life may be logically expected from obedience, yet many wicked persons also have long life. With them length of days only adds to their load of iniquity, which is not the addition referred to, nor one to be desired. In fact, continued evil lessens one's capacity in any useful direction.
2. Table of thine heart.—Ancient Israel were commanded to bind the law upon the hand and forehead, and to love the Lord with all the heart, and soul, and might. Deut. 5: 5, 8. Portions of the law were actually bound on the wrist and forehead. These were known as phylacteries. They were outward signs that the principles of that law governed the will and the act. The heart, as used here, means the intellect, the mind, and the writing of the law there,—a complete, intelligent obedience to it,—constitutes the new covenant. The old covenant was, on the part of the people, one of broken promises. The new covenant is the covenant made with every true child of God from Adam to the end of time. See 1 John 3: 12; Gen. 15: 6, etc. This truth is taught in our lesson.
3. Depart from evil.—The tendencies of the natural heart are evil, and only evil. Men without the fear of God may think they are very wise, may think their own understanding is correct, but all these things the Lord counts as foolishness. 1 Cor. 1: 20. The law of the Lord is made very prominent in this lesson, and it is well so, for it is the standard of conduct. It is the guide, the schoolmaster, to bring us to Christ, and in him we find the perfect outworking of all its principles.
4. Substance and first-fruits.—The Lord has always asked of his people gifts for the advancement of his work. One thing he claims as his own,—the tithe of all increase, or income. Both of these are reasonable, for all the earth is the Lord's (Ps. 24: 1), altho given to man for his use. Why then should not the Lord give plenty to the man who recognizes his just claims? He not only promises to do so, but does. One of the chief reasons why his people are dried up spiritually is stated to be because they have robbed him in tithes and offerings. Mal. 3: 7-9. The blessing pronounced if they will reform is that he will "open the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." Mal. 3: 10. Some excuse themselves from paying the tithe, on the ground that it is not required in the Christian dispensation. But this is false. Even a casual examination of Malachi 3 shows that it applies to the last days, and if at any time in the world's history the cause of God needed support, it is now, when moral darkness is so prevalent. But a direct proof that the tithing is obligatory in the Christian era is this: Abraham regarded it as a duty to pay tithes to Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God. Gen. 14: 18-20. That priesthood continues, for Christ is a high priest after the order of Melchizedek (Heb. 7: 21), hence the requirements of that priesthood are yet in force. Read Hebrews 7. Moreover, Abraham is a type of all the faithful, and his example is ours under the same priesthood. The promises of Prov. 3: 10 and of Mal. 3: 10 are, therefore, true for you and me. Try them.14
5. Length of days may reach beyond the mere span of human life. The true wisdom will appropriate the first commandment with promise, the fifth, which includes eternal life on the earth made new. Ex. 20: 12; Isa. 65: 17, 22. The earthly riches and honor cease at death. Heavenly riches and honor are of a different kind, and endure. Which is the better, the gift of the right hand, or those of the left?

—Great destitution in Labrador is reported by Dr. Greenfelt, superintendent of the Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen, who comes from England yearly, with two assistants, to do medical service on the coast.
—A telegram from St. Paul de Loanda, Portuguese West Africa, says the Portuguese expedition has just punished the rebellious Bendo natives, burning twenty-four of their villages and killing 100 rebels.
—An Athens despatch says that at Taxis a band of Macedonian insurgents recently defeated a detachment of Turkish troops after a long engagement, in which ninety of the Turks were killed and eight were captured.
—One hundred and eighty-eight members of a Cuban secret association, including the editor of La Discussion, have been exiled to the island of Fernando, off the coast of Africa, one of the penal settlements of Spain.
—A caravan from Tomsk, west Siberia, arrived at St. Petersburg on the 29th ult., bringing 7,200 pounds of gold. Another caravan is expected in January. These consignments are independent of those in east Siberia.
—A Rome despatch of October 28 says: "A grand review of troops was held here to-day in honor of the marriage of the crown prince of Italy to Princess Helene of Montenegro. Twenty thousand troops were under arms."
—Advices from Hayti state that a conspiracy to overthrow the government has been discovered at Au-Cayes. Many of the exiles who were recently allowed to return to the island are implicated, as also several government officials.
—A London paper says that "many lines of business are said to have collapsed in Turkey, owing to the terrible scenes that have been enacted there, and the coming winter promises to bring intense suffering to all classes of poor people."
—A cyclone swept over the city and province of Seville, Spain, on the 28th ult., wrecking a great many houses and killing and injuring a number of inhabitants. Telegraph wires were prostrated, greatly delaying appeals for assistance.
—It is now stated, and the German Government does not deny it, that, notwithstanding the triple alliance of Germany, Austria, and Italy, there was a secret understanding between Germany and Russia during the last six years of Bismarck's administration.
—Late Bombay advices say that the drought in India continues, and the crop situation is daily becoming more serious. This, together with a shortage in the wheat crop in Russia and Argentina, it is expected, will cause a permanent rise in the price of wheat.
—A number of Cuban prisoners who were landed at Cadiz, Spain, October 26, were followed from the harbor to the jail by a mob. The Cubans were hissed, and stones were thrown at them, the mob finally growing so excited that it was with the greatest difficulty the police landed the prisoners safely in jail.
—A despatch of the 28th ult. reports serious election riots at Tyrnau, Hungary. A detachment of hussars, while attempting to restore order, was stoned by a mob, and one trooper was killed. The hussars thereupon charged with drawn swords, wounding several rioters.
—The dread famine in India is made more dreadful to contemplate from the fact that a great drought there is seldom confined to one season. They generally run three or four years, and sometimes more. In such cases, even the great irrigation improvements are of little or no avail.
—It is officially reported that the Philippine Islands insurrection against Spanish rule has extended to the Sooloo Archipelago. Eight soldiers are reported to have been killed in an attempt to suppress the uprising. In another quarter, however, the Spanish forces have gained a battle, killing seventy-seven insurgents and losing only two soldiers wounded.
—The commander of the British-Egyptian forces calls for an extra appropriation of $320,000 for the purpose of raising the Egyptian army to 15,000 men and continuing the conquest of the Soudan. There has been already expended more than the amount permitted by the international convention, and it is said that Russia and France will protest against the further proposed expedition to Berber and Khartoum.
—Ex-Pope Tolstoi, of the Russian Church, who was recently deposed from the priest's functions because he had refused to clear himself of an accusation that he had been converted to Catholicism, has been arrested at Moscow, and taken to Nijni, where he was condemned by a church tribunal to seven years' banishment from St. Petersburg and Moscow, and was forbidden to hold any state office for twenty years.
—Great festivities attended the opening day of the Coöperative Glass Factory, which has been put up by the former strikers of the Carmaux Glass Works. The strike, which grew out of the discharge of a member of the Glassworkers' Trade Union last year, was transformed into a lockout when the men notified the management of their willingness to return to work. Great excitement was caused by the incident throughout France, and efforts were made to induce the French minister to intervene in the dispute, and secure justice for the working men. The Paris Municipal Council voted large sums of money to support the strikers, and many other municipalities all over the country followed suit. It is stated that all of the profits of the glass works are to be used for a Socialistic propaganda, and in this connection the Socialist press affirm that it is a critical moment for the working men of France.
—The Paris Journal des Débats, commenting on the recent visit of the Russian czar, says: "If, but a little while ago, any one had ventured to predict that the chief of the most powerful and most absolute autocracy in the universe would visit republican and democratic France, and be acclaimed by a tempest of enthusiasm; that the Catholic clergy would chant a Te Deum in honor of the chief of a schismatic church; that the revolutionary town council would offer him a fête eclipsing the most splendid monarchical pageants, he would have been set down as a visionary. And yet those anticipations fall short of the reality." All this is easily accounted for by the Babylonian condition of the world in these last days. The churches are in a medley of confusion, the nations are in a most bewildering perplexity, and France itself is only separated from blooming autocracy by a very thin tissue of nominal republicanism.
DOMESTIC.
—The steamer Amarapoora takes, this week, the first load of cattle ever shipped from Puget Sound to Central America.
—The grand jury at Leadville, Colo., has indicted four of the striking miners, charging them with the murder of Fireman O'Keefe, in the Coronado Mine.
—The lumber schooner Sandill went down in Lake Erie, on the 23d ult., and all hands, consisting of captain, mate, three seamen and cook, went down with her.
—A violent snowstorm in the western part of Nebraska, on the 29th ult., seriously impeded railroad traffic, and must have caused much suffering and loss of live stock.
—There are said to be a score or more of complaints of political assessments on employees in Federal offices now on file awaiting the action of the Civil Service Commission.
—Circuit Judge Sanborn, of Omaha, made an order directing the Union Pacific Railway Co. to allow its employees an opportunity to vote on election day. Why should such an order be deemed necessary?
—In a magazine near Geneva, Ind., October 31, 700 quarts of nitro-glycerine exploded, tearing the structure into fragments and wrecking scores of houses in the city. A wagon was being unloaded at the time, and the team, driver, and wagon were blown to atoms.
—At Pittsburg, on the 28th ult., Bessie Osborn, aged fourteen years, was fatally burned by an explosion of natural gas. The house was badly wrecked. Bessie, tho terribly burned, managed to get her brother and sister out of the building uninjured before she became unconscious.
—The New Orleans Fruit Combine, organized last spring to control the supply of Central American fruits shipped to this country, has failed. The large supply of California fruits, together with the great western apple crop, so decreased the demand for tropical fruits that there was a great shrinkage in prices.
—It is officially stated at Washington that both Russia and Japan will join the United States in an effort to protect the fur seals of the North Pacific Ocean from extinction. It is generally conceded that if some extensive, more effective measures are not enforced against poachers, the fur seal will be commercially extinct in a couple more seasons.
—A tornado formed near Farmington, Texas, October 28, and passed near Sherman and on past Denison. The cloud was not more than fifty feet wide, but it moved at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour, demolishing everything that came in its way. Several farm-houses were wrecked, four persons were known to be seriously hurt, fences were thrown down, and the ground was plowed in various places.
—A sensation is said to have been caused among the Quakers of New York City because one of their number, a woman lawyer, has been appointed by the Supreme Court to the receivership of a saloon, whose proprietor is in litigation. However, the attorney thinks the trust comes legitimately within her sphere; and is rather ambitious to show that she is qualified for any work that may come to her hand as a lawyer. She does not think that the church will expel her.
—It now turns out that when the Chinese consul at San Francisco undertook to annihilate the 'highbinder' resorts in that city with his Chinese police, he proceeded without due process of law. Consequently one of the strong contending companies (in whose interest the 'hatchet men' were at this particular time presumably operating) commenced legal proceedings against the consul. Now a special commission from the emperor is on hand to patch up the breach. The secretary of the Chinese Legation at Washington accompanies the commission.
—A cyclone struck the river front of New Orleans on the 29th ult., making a sweep of thirty blocks lengthwise, and about one hundred feet wide. Hundreds of buildings were damaged, trees uprooted, and fences blown down. The same day great damage was done in Tansas Parish by a cyclone. Houses, barns, and bridges, and other property were destroyed. Two men, three women, and a baby were killed, and many others injured. A number of animals were also killed. The same day in Lafayette County, Miss., a cyclone did great damage to property of all kinds, but no lives were lost. A house was blown down over a mother and seven children, but all escaped with but slight bruises. The same day a disastrous cyclone passed over a portion of Oklahoma, cutting a swath of destruction about a hundred feet wide for several miles. The post office and store at Mitchell was lifted bodily, carried 100 yards, and dashed to the ground, killing the postmaster and his wife. Further damage is reported at other points, and the storm passed on into Indian Territory, and seven persons were reported killed at different points.
