War's wonders include the open purse of the people. Such giving for the great cause as has been witness- ed of late hag set an entirely new. standard for all financial transac- tions, even in the realm of high finance, Billons of dollars have been lavisily outpoured by loving and loyal hearts. There is no cause, touching the welfare of our 'sailors and soldiers, that may not count upon the unstinted benevol- ence of the people. We may meas- ure the depth of the passions of pa- triotism and purpose that prevail in our land by the measureless magni-' tude of our people's sperifices and gifts. = One recalls the incident of long ago, which is the present Sun- day school lesson, when Jesus made immortal the lavishness of love. "Phen an ardent, impetuous, grate- ful disciple, a woman whose heart brimmed over with love, lavished upon the Restorer of her brother, a precious ointment that could have been sold for $60 in gold, as we rate money, or that was the equivalent of a year's wages for a working. mam of the time, or that was worth one-third more than the sum which the disciple estimated to be neces- gary to feed five thousand. %The treasurer of the college of apostles resented what he called the waste- fulmeas of the deed; his idea was that the monftary standard was su- preme and that the most important thing, for the ineipient church to consider was Ig source of financial income. it, is rather interesting that these two well known Bible characters, Mary and Judas, should each be re- memberad largely for one inckdent, and that one Incident having to do with an estimate of money's worth. Mary thought her richest treasure was best spent in pouring it forth as o fragrant anointing for the Master she loved. Judas thought thirty pleces of silver--far less than the eost of Mary's alabaster cruse of nard---of more value than his Lord's ite, plus his own honor and fidelity and salvation. The Aftermath of a Miracle. This [ucident oeourred at a feast given by Simon, a healed leper. It was a scandal in the eyes of the aus- tere religionists of, hig time that Je- sus came eating ind drinking and sharing the common life of the peo- ple; hunt. this is to-day His glory for dt has sanctified the ordinary reha- tions of men and wobieén, their joys as well as their sorrows. Christian- ity is as normal and appropriate at a feast as at a funeral. .. The happiest persons at this par- ticular festivity were the menibers of the Bethany home whither the weary Christ was accustomed to re- sort, whose head; Lazarus, had been raised from the dead by Him. The presence of both Jesus and Lazarus at the feast made the occasion really sensational, What a peeping in at "the doors and windows there must have been, and what a curious crowd gathered to see the guests arrive and depart. This man who had been dead and buried four days, and then made live again was as much an ob- Ject of Interest as the Miracle-Work- er Mmself, The importance of this particular miracle. is not to he overlooked. It tremendously Stinwlated interest in 8. It: Inereased the number of His disciples, and it is given as the direct cause of the triumphal entry. Moreover, it intensitied 'the bitter- neas rist's enemies. They in- cluded' Lazarus In their hate, and 'would have pit him to death also, " because the testimony of his resur- rection was so powerful an argument for the divinity of the Nazarene. The price paid for Christ's friend- ship ix always the enmity of His 'enemies. They who would reign with Him must also suffer with Him. ---- Contrasts at a Feast, diffe is not as simple. as In our youthful dreams we believe it to be.

It is suggestive that these diverse interests found their common meet- ing point in the person of Jesus. For in Him all the conditions and classes and races of mankind are discover- ing a common centre. The world's great point of agreement is the Man of Nazareth, whom every other man finds elose kin to himself. There is nothing more wonderfil about the character of the Saviour than His affinity for every body. He is still in complete sympathy with the lowli- est and the highest. Friend gropes to find a congenial nature in friend, but in Jesus one meets instant and perfect union. The lavishness of Tove, This particuiar reast, the chief Guest declared, is to be known wher- ever the gospel is preached for one supreme occurrence there. Mary had brought with her what had probably long been a precious house- hold heritage, an alabaster cnuse of precious nard, that most fragrant of spices. In that simple community which knew nothing of modern lux- ury, its value must have been enor- mous, for it would have sent three hundred beggars on their way Joleing, or it would have sustained a4 laborer and his family for more than a year. To the astonishment of everybody and to the horror of some, Mary poured out without stint, and to the last drop, this precious ointment upon the Lord, who had brought back from the grave her brother. It was a woman's deed--the deed of supreine and self-forgetting and un- calculating affection. True love is always lavish in ts giving. Its best belongs to its beloved. When it bes gins to ponder and weigh and count the cost, it is no longer love, for in love there is no withholding. And in all this great world, the most fra- grant thing is love's deed done pure- ly for love's sake. Well did the Master crown it with a 'memorial, declaring that would be recorded wherever His gospel is preached. There are many things in lite which at.eventide we regret, but the lavishness of our love is never one of them. The deeds we do at af- fection's prompting are, whew we most clearly, pride and gratifica- tion and happiness. The sorrow which men feel as they stand beside the bier of a loved one is not for their much giving, but for their short-sighted withholding. Love keeps no ledger. ' "Sentimental!" "Foolish!" "Ex- travagant!" the thrifty and careful willagers no doubt exclaimed over Mary's act. They were unable to see that there are better things in life than being thrifty and economi- cal. To feed the spirit is better than to feed the body, and there is many a wife with a great ache in her heart, who would gladly surrender the houses and the bank. account which her true husband had aceu- mulated for her sake, were he but a little more free with words and to- kens of affection. There is not enough of flowers a gifts in lite and too much of sordid calculation, Christ placed His stamp of approval upon love that shows' itself in boun- teous tokens of affection. The Mercenary Spirit. This whole proceeding must have been heart-breaking to Judas, as he watched the precious nard tiow down to the ground while its perfume fill- ed the house. He cared nothing for its fragrance, and was blind to the light that enkindled his Master's eye as He beheld this glad offering of pure devotion. Juda's spirit was wholly mercenary, and the finer in- stinets cannot survive sordidness of soul. It is awful to contemplate how many fair and fragrant growths are stifled by this rank week of merce- nariness. It enters the most sacred places and profanes the mrost hal- lowed institutions and occasions.

Ottawa, May 29.---Suffering from the effect of burns received six weeks ago, when his clothing caught fire, Robert Lawson, the eleven-year-old son of John Lawson, of 402 Riverdale avenue, is still in the Water Street Hospital receiving treatment.
