Scripture Authority:—Numbers,
Chapter 13.

SEPMONETTE.
While the Scripture narrative
indicates that the project of
sending the spies had the Di-
vine sanction, even to Instruc-
tions being given as to the meth-
ods to be pursued, still we must
remember that the land waa
Israel’s by right of inheritance
and was the place whither God
was leading them, and hence
there could be no question as to
its fruitfulness, or as to the cer-
tainty of its occupancy by larael.
These facts suggest then that it
was lack of faith rather than
divinely inspired wisdom that
prompted this course of action,
and remind us of that Infinite
patience which God manifests
in dealing with Hit children.
God permitted the spying out of
the land because faith was not
large enough to go up at once
and possess it, and that first
misstep opened the way for
those other sins of unbelief
which shut them out of the
promised land and dotted the
wilderness with numberless
graves.
So to-day, God leads the soul
to the borderland of some great
opportunity, some rich posses-
sion, and Instead of confidently
going forward the aoul aends
out Its spies to search the land,
tne giants of difficulties and dan-
gers are seen, the walled citiea
of seemingly Insurmountable ob-
stacles are discovered, and the
soul draws back In dismay and
cries: We are not able to go up
and possess It. Ah, aoul, thou
who art face to face with the
promised land of better things
each day, look up and see the
Lord standing at thy side ready
to go with thee, put thy trust in
Him, and go forward for He that
is for thee is greater than they
which be against thee. Re-
member that if God be for thee,
who can be against thee. Let
not thy unbelief shut thee out
of the promised land of God’s
blessing.
The pathway of unbelief leads
back into the wilderness, away
from the promised land.
Faith is the Christian’s reduc-
ing glass through which dangers
and difficulties appear small and
insignificant.
An evil report Is the expres-
sion of an unbelieving heart.
Spying out the land to which
God has promised to lead you,
and give you, may be wise pre-
caution, but it needs to be bal-
anced by a faith that falters not
and a courage which knows no
fear.
It took Israel 40 years to re-
cover the opportunity of enter-
ing the promised land which
they lost In 40 days. So Is often
to-day the experience of the
Christian. He forfeits years of
blessing through failure to go
forward in faith to the place
God has pointed out.,
Those 40 days might better
have been spent in going for-
ward than in holding back and
looking for giants and walled
cities. The soul that lingers on
the borderland of a known duty
or destiny will surely find the
voice of unbelief speaking loud-
er and urging a retreat.

THE STORY.
’I' HERE was a general feeling of ela-
1 tlon among tho Hebrew1 spies as
they went into camp at Hebron that
night. They knew that they could not
bo far distunt now from tne place
where their people lay encamped at
Kadesh. Something over a month had
now passed since they hud gone forth
to search out the land which God had
promised to Abraham and his seed for-
ever, and It is not strange that all
wore eager to be back umtdst friends
and loved ones again. That had been
a momentous journey. Following the
course of the Jordan valley they had
gone far towards the north and then
turning westward had come to Rehob,
lying on tho well-traveled route to
Hamath, the mountain pass In the
northern frontier of tho land. From
thence they had passed on up through
the country of the Sldonlans and tho
Philistines and came at last to the
wild and picturesque mountain section
of Hebron, where they had gone Into
camp.
And while they waited the return of
two of their number who hud gone out
to reconnolter, they talked over the
experiences of the past month, and
discussing the land through which
they had passed. Tho natural beauty
and fruitfulness of tho country had
deeply Impressed them. How good
tho grains and fruits had tasted after
their plain, monotonous faro In the
wilderness, and eye and pnlato had
pronounced the land good. And they
talked enthusiastically of the time
when they should enter In and dwell
In the midst of such scenes and plenty.
Hut notwithstanding the elation over
the charm of tho land and Its fruitful-
ness, there was an undertone of fear
at the walled cities they had seen scat-
tered throughout the land. How
were these to be overcome? Would
they not be at the mercy of these peo-
people who dwelt thus behind high
walls?
Caleb had listened quietly to the dis-
cussion, taking little part In it until
It became apparent that there was a
growing tendency among his brethren
to take a discouraging view of the sit-
uation. Aroused finally by the remark’
that "walled cities In the promised
land made it look anything but prom-
ising,” he exclaimed:
“Hut it is God that has promised us
the land, and in Him we 6hall conquer.
Hast thou forgotten how when Ainalek
met us in the way we overcame him
and scattered his army?”
"Yea, that is true,” was the assent,
"but he had no walled city into which
to flee, and thou must remember that
it Is not one but many walled cities
which must be overthrown.”
"But would God promise His people
a land w'hich He was not able to give
unto us?” persisted Caleb, and Joshua,
quickly coming to his support, added:
"God is our leader and He will show
us how to overcome these strong-
holds. Rememberest thou not how
bravely the army of Israel withstood
the powerful forces of Amalek, and
shall we falter now In the face of thl^
new foe?” and the memory of that
day when Joshua had led the fighting
men of Israel to victory stirred his
blood, and he arose and paced impa-
tiently to and fro as though he would
go up at once against this new diffi-
culty.
The rest watched him In silence.
Down the long open glade he strode,
farther than he had gone before, and
he was just turning to retrace his
steps, when there burst upon him, al-
most overthrowing him with their mad
haste, the two spies whose return they
were awaiting. -Their frightened looks
■and breathlessness betokened some-
thing startling, and before they could
recover themselves to Bpeak, the oth-
ers caine running up and excitedly de-
manded to know what was the matter.
By way of answer the two pointed
In the direction from which they had
come and exclaimed:
"Giants!”
And then leading back cautiously In
the direction from which they had
come, they brought them to the top of
a high overhanging bluff, and parting
the bushes carefully pointed down be-
low them. There, sure enough, was a
sight which made all stare In surprise
and fear, for passing up the narrow
valley to the mountain height opposite
was a group of the tallest men they
had ever seen before.
"Surely, these must be the sons of
Anak, about whom we have heard,”
exclaimed Joshua.
“Yea, we are but grasshoppers be-
fore them,” rejoined the others, and
In silence they watched them until
they had disappeared from view. Then
almost sullenly they returned to the
camp, and In spite of all the encour-
agement which Caleb and Joshua could
give they were disposed* to take any-
thing but a hopeful view of the situa-
tion. Some were for going at once
under the cover of the darkness from
the dreadful place, as they called it,
but Joshua said, boldly:
“This must be the place where
Abraham, our father, pitched his tent,
and the God who protected him will
watch over us in this land that He has
promised to give us.”
So they had passed the night, but
the next morning early found them
on their journey again, fearfully
threading their way down the valley,
and looking apprehensively on either
hand lest they should be suddenly sur-
prised and overwhelmed by the giants
they had seen. Caleb and^IoBhua had
done their utmost to delay the de-
parture, insisting that they ought to
search out the land more thoroughly,
but unable to overcome the fear of the
other spies they had hurried on with
them.
Finally they came to a beautiful bit
of country. The vulley spread out be-
fore them like a perfect garden, and
upward on either hand sloped the
hills, which were robed in their ex-
quisite colors of green and purple and
gedd, for at that season of the year
tho grape vines were in the glory of
their rich coloring, the great purple
clusters hanging In Buch profusion
that it seemed as though nature waa
striving to spread a table for the na-
tions of the world.
The 12 spies Btood entranced by the
scene.
“Ah, if Israel could be here to en-
joy such a feast as these afford," they
exclaimed.
"And they shall be,” exclaimed
Joshua and Caleb, in a breath.
“But the walled cities and the
giants!” cried the others. "We can-
not because of them."
“Surely the Lord who has promised
to give us the land will help us over-
come it,” replied Joshua.
"Lot us gather of tho fruit tl at wo
may take It and show the people the
wonderful land to which God has led
us," spoke up Caleb, starting forward,
Impulsively.
"Hut if we burden ourselves thus we
shall not be able to go swiftly and the
inhabitants of the land may overtake
us and destroy us,” objected the oth-
ers, drawing hack and turning ns
though they would proceed at once on
their journey.
“Nay, hut we will tnke hack of tho
fruits of the laud," said Joshua, hurry-
ing forward to Join Caleb, "for tho
people shull see that the land doth
veritably flow with milk and honey us
the Lord spake concerning It before
wo left Egypt."
And Caleb and Joshua cut and boro
between them upon a stufT one of the
Immense clusters. And they withered
of the pomegranates and tho figs and
thus laden they returned from search-
ing out the laud.
JESUS ANOINTED
IN BETHANY
Sunday School Lesson lor Oct. 28.1906
Specially Prepared for This Paper.
I.ESSON TEXT.—Matt. 26:6-16. Memory
verses, 12, 13.
GOLDEN TEXT.—“She hath wrought a
good work upon me."—Matt. 26:10.
TIME.—The Saturday evening previous
to our last lesson, the evening of the
Jewish Sabbath, April 1, A. D. 30.
PEACE.—Bethany, on the Mount of
Olives, at the house of Simon, who had
been a leper.
Comment and Suggestive Thought.
V. 6. "In the house of Simon the
leper.” It is commonly supposed that
this man, of whom nothing further is
known, had been healed of his disease
by Jesus.
V. 7. “There came unto him a wom-
an.” Jesus, with other male guests,
was reclining at the table, when Mary,
the sister of Lazarus and Martha,
came to him. “Alabaster box.” A
bottle, or cruse, made of the rare and
delicate alabaster. “Very precious
ointment.” The other accounts tell
us that this ointment was the rare and
costly spikenard distilled from an
odorous plant which grew in the far
east, and mingled with oil, making a
rich perfume unknown to modern
chemists. In quantity It was a pound
—that is 12 ounces. “Poured It on
his head.” Also upon his feet (John),
and in her eagerness to lavish every
drop upon her beloved, perhaps she
crushed the fragile jar (Mark). She
also wiped his feet with her hair
(John). The practice of anointing the
person with perfumed oils was as coir,
mon among the Hebrews as among
other oriental peoples.
V. 8. "His disciples had indigna-
tion.” Judas was the spokesman, but
the other apostles joined him In con-
demning Mary’s lavish expenditure.
V. 9. “Might have been sold for
much.” Its value was estimated by
Judas at 300 pence; that Is, about $45.
“Given to the poor.” This was Judas’
suggestion, made, not because he
cared for the poor, but because as
treasurer of the little band he would
have had opportunity to purloin some
portion of the money entrusted to
him.
V. 10. "When Jesus understood.”
Jesus perceived that some actually
condemned Mary’s beautiful deed. It,
of course, pained Mary to be criticised
by good men for whom she had great
esteem, and Jesus reproved them, say-
ing, "Why trouble ye the woman? for
she hath wrought a good work.” The
apostles thought Mary had wasted her
ointment.
V. 11. “Ye have the poor always
with you.” At that day, and in every
day and land since, there have been
abundant opportunities for Jesus’
friends to help the poor. He recog-
nizes this service as done unto him
(Matt. 25:31-46). “But me ye have
not always.” Only a few days longer
would the friends of Jesus have to ex-
press their loving devotion to his per-
son.
V. 12. “She did it for my burial.” It
was customary for the Jews to anoint
the dead body for burial.
V. 13. “Wheresoever this gospel
shall be preached.” Wherever the good
news shall be proclaimed how God,
through the life and death of his Son,
poured out his love and life In sacri-
fice for his children, there shall the
story also be told of Mary, who poured
out her dearest treasure to express
her love to Jesus. “In the whole
world.” Jesus poured out his life for
all mankind, and he foresaw that this
good news would be proclaimed
throughout the world.
V. 14. "Then.” Very soon after this
feast. “Judas Iscariot.” Judas of
Kerloth. the only one of the apostolic
band who was not a Galilean. He had
enjoyed the advantage of Intimate
companionship with Jesus for three
years, but his avaricious heart had
not. been won to love the loving One.
Went unto the chief priests.” The
priests, of whom Caiaphas was the
leader, had determined to seize Jesus
and put him out of the way. They
eagerly welcomed Judas, who came to
them and offered to betray his Lord.
V. 15. "What will ye give me?" This
sentence gives us a key to Judas’
chtraoter. He was continually seek-
ing something for himself. Jesus’
words, from the early days of his min-
istry. Indicate that he felt that Judas’
heart was not with him (John 6:70;
Matt. 26:25). • "Thirty pieces of sil-
ver.” Thirty Bhekels; that is, a little
less thnn $20 In our money. An an-
cient prophet had foretold the very
price for which Jesus would bo sold
(Zach. 11:12).
V'. 16. “Opportunity to betray him.”
The chief priests were nnxions that
Jesus should be quietly and secretly
delivered into their hands, lest there
be an uprising of the people in his de-
fense.
Practical Points.
V. 7. Estimate the "precious things”
Christ has poured out, until you feel
there is naught too precious to pour
out upon him.—1 Pet. 1:16; 2:4, 7; 2
Pet. 1:4.
V. 8. A cold heart caitnot under-
stand tho power and beauty of en-
thus) isttc lovo.—2 Cor. 4:4.
V. 10. Though wo mny fall to appre-
ciate another’s way of serving God, let
us refrain from unjust criticism.—1
Cor. 4:5.
V. 13. As Mary's lovo embalmed
Jesus, so Jesus’ love embalms the
memory of euch of his loving ones.—
John 14:19; Col. 3:3, 4.
V. 13. Love's wastes aro us living
seeds, their death Is their multiplica-
tion.—John 12:24.
V'. 15. Ho makes n poor bargain who
sells Jesus, though all the world bo
offered In exchange.—Mitt. 16:26

Pretty Decorative Work.
MOUNT-MELLICK AND HEDEBOW
EMBROIDERY.
Best for All Forms of Ordinar^ House-
hold Use—Care in Washing Is a
Matter of Vital Impor-
tance.
Mount-mellick work, strictly speak-
ing, is white upon white. A new kind
recently seen is color on whltey
brown calico, or tolle grosse, which
is ecru in tint. The dead white used
for old mount-mellick work is too hard
for the color permissible and charac-
teristic of the new style.
The objects for which this work
is suited are all those of ordinary
household use which lend themselves
to decorations—tea, tray, and side-
board cloths, cushion covers, sachets,
laundry bags, work bags, tea cosies,
etc. The cottons wash perfectly In
hot soap and water if ordinary care Is
used. No soap containing alkali should
ever be employed in washing colored
embroidery, nor should the work be
left in a wet heap. All the soap should
be rinsed out and the article quickly
dried and ironed damp as it lies face
downward on linen placed over a
blanket, so that the relief, If there is
any, should not be flattened. Among
the stitches used In Fig. 1 are found
the following: Chain stitch in two
rows, worked closely together, fram-
ing bars sewn down with a contrast-
ing shade; satin stitch worked evenly
and closely so as completely to con-
ceal the foundation; stem and rope
stitch, used for lines, tendrils, out-
lining, etc.; sand stitch dotted over
spaces In intermediate rows, avoiding
one dot coming just, under another,
closed loops decorating open leaves
and coral stitch doing the same; but-
tonhole stitch almost covering two
halves of a leaf has French knots of
another shade placed down tho mid-
dle; double-chain sewn down with a
different shade; three fully-covered
leaves are done In light blue bars al-
ternating with a row of dark blue
French knots, the oval buds being
worked in two rows of wheeling one
In between the other.
The uppermost flower Is done In
pale blue, the central satin stitch
petal having two worked in weaving
stitch on each side, all being outlined
by a single thread of the light blue
couched down with a darker shade.
Authorities on the subject say Hed-.
ebow embroidery originated In Den-
mark, Hedebow being the name of a
locality In that country where this spe-
cial embroidery is much done by the
peasants. Curiously enough, It is ob-
taining In Italy very much indeed. It
can be brought to great perfection and
elaborated to a large extent, so that
the possessor of knowledge In the
way of variety of lace stitches can.
utilize it.

Ideas for the Hostess.
Suggestions for Two Very Enjoyable I
Entertainments.
A Farewell Party.
A young correspondent signing her-
self “Pansy” asks for suggestions for
a “Farewell” party. Also whether the
person giving the entertainment is
supposed to furnish' everything?
A hostess provides the refreshments
and entertainment for her guests, and
that must be what our Inquirer means
by “everything.” There are no spe-
cial games for a "farewell” party.
Tho centerpiece on the table Is usual-
ly significant of the occasion, such
as a train of cars, a steamboat, a toy
dray loaded with trunks, and the
souvenirs or place cards are suit-case
and trunk candy boxes filled with
small bon-bons. If the friends of. the
going away guest wish to contribute
towards a parting gift. It Is a very
pretty compliment to do so. A stiver
drinking cup, a Jewel case or traveling
sewing case are all suitable. Or the
affair may bo a "Farewell" shower,
each guest bringing some appropriate
little remembrance. Even letters,
books, boxes of confectionery, etc., are
very acceptable, and it Is better not
to have any set scheme of entertain-
ment. Let every one talk without
restraint.
A Nut Party.
The fall with Its frosts makes nut
parties In the country seasonable.
For the unfortunate mortals who can-
not enjoy a genuine outdoor party,
the next best Is to have one In the
house. Decorate with autumn foliage,
branches of trees and make the rooms
assume Just as woodsy an aspect as
possible.
After the guests have arrived, have
a lot of old "chestnuts" played and
sung, such as “Annie Rooney,” “Only
a Pansy Blossonf,” "After the Hall,"
etc. This will make much merriment
and will be classed as "musical chest-
nuts." Then pass acorn shaped book-
lets, containing the following ques-
tions. The answer to each query Is
the nnrae of a nut,
1. Its first syllablo Is a spring vege-
table.—Peanut.
2. Tho penalty of tight shoes.—
Acorn.
3. A souvenir of South America.—A
Brazil nut.
4. Its first pnrt Is a barrier of brick
or stone.—Walnut.
5. Two-thirds of It makes our dally
bread accept a hie.—Butternut.
6. Its first half Is a beverngo.—
Coeonnut.
7. Two boys’ nicknames.—Phll-Hert
(filbert).
8. Part of the hnninn body forniB the
first syllable.—Chestnut
9. A letter of the alphabet and a
utensil of tin.—Pecan.
10. The first syllable Is a color of
the human eye.—Hazelnut.
After this contest a nut hunt was
indulged In; the hunter finding the
most nuts received a copy of “Open-
ing of a Chestnut Burr,” and “Twice
Told Tales” was the consolation prize.
MADAME MERRI.
HANDY PLACE TO WRITE.
Desk
Which Folds Into the Bureau
or Chiffonier.
A’very convenient article to have In
every household Is a writing desk of
some description. A table Is not al-
ways a satisfactory place on which
to write, a desk being much more
preferable. An exceedingly good sub-
stitute, where a desk cannot be pro-
cured, Is tho Invisible folding desk,
shown In the Illustration, tho Inven-
tion of a North Carolina man. This
desk can be constructed In conjunc-
tion with a cabinet, chiffonier or other
article of furniture having tho usual
drawers. It has the appearance of an-
ordinary front of drawers when closed
within tho bureau. When desired the
desk can Instantly be withdrawn and
used for writing, reading, etc. The
desk can cither be placed at a con-
venient height for a person whllo sit-
ting or placed above, so that It can
bo used while a poison Is standing.
When the folding section of tho desk.
Is opened out It Is securely braced by
brackets at each side. The desk also
slants slightly, affording a proper and
rigid writing surface which will bear
any reasonable weight.
