john 20:19-2-3 these scriptures record the fifth ap pearance of the risen redeemer on the j day of iiis resurrection the first ap pearance was to mary magdalene and was a tribute to her specially warm and • grateful love to jesus the second ] was to the women — somewhere be ; tween the sepulchre and the city and it was a reward for their faithful and 1 personal service and obedience the i third was to peter a penitent back slider a sorrowful antl repentant siu | uer and was the savior's approval and attestation of his penitence the ; fourth was to the h*ou bled and disgust ed men of etnmaus and was a conde scension to the perplexity of honest doubt and painful anxiety each i seems to have had its special signifi cance and were doubtless prearranged i by the risen redeemer on a definite plan for special purposes and designed ro convey definite lessons but the fifth is in some respects still more sig nificant than any of the preceding ones the risen savior had withheld himself from his disciples and apostles as a col lected company down to a late hour of ; this eventful and exciting day he thus by degrees prepared them to be the thoroughly convinced and thoroughly satisfied witnesses of his resurrection at this evening meeting the ten pres ent are humbled reproved convinced assured and blessed let us look in upon their late evening assembly the ten are telling to the two from kin mans who have just come in what peter had seen and these two tell ill return what they saw and felt on their walk and at etnmaus they are still discussing the events of the day when suddenly is heard the sound of a voice well known and familiar to them peace be unto you and jesus him self stands before them in their very midst how precious significant and suggestive this blessed word peace at such a moment the first impression however so nat ural and worthy of note and recorded by the evangelists themselves none having yet seen him but peter was alarm and terror and the savior first undertakes to relieve their agitation and alarm and convince them of his actual resurrection and restored bodily life why are ye troubled t j and why do questioning and doubting thoughts arise iu youi minds heboid my hands and my feet that it is i myself handle me and see c thus pre pared they listen to his instructions that follow 1 and the first lesson of this sacred evening is the risen redeemer's endorse ment of the old testament scriptures lie affixes to them the seal of his own divine attestation any depreciation vtl iii.il of the old testament is an accusation of the lord of glory 2 the second matter specially note worthy is the remarkable manlier in which the risen savoir speaks of his own death on tbe cross and ofthe vast and spiritual and everlasting benefits to flow therefrom it was a matter prearranged a merciful and gracious necessity thus it is written and thus it behoved the greek is thus it was necessary that christ should suffer and rise from tiie dead in order that repentance and remission of sins might be proclaimed in his name to all the . world 3 we learn in third place what are tin greal topics of gospel preaching it is not philosophy or literature or el hies or politics lt is the divine au thority oi the scriptures christ's aton ing death and resurrection the duty of repentance and the gracious offer and assurance of divine forgiveness the love of jesus and the efficacy of the gospel fur the very chief of sinners — beginning at jerusalem we are first reconciled to god hy the death of his son and then transformed into his gracious image he is first our high priest and advocate with the father and thus our pattern and guide 4 in the fourth place the savior points them to the mission ofthe holy spirit and behold 1 send the promise of mv father upon you whose ful fillment shortly will be a special glori ous and unprecedented baptism of the holy ghost hut tarry ye in the city of jerusalem mail ye he endued with this power from on high and he breathed on them and gave them a prelibation am foretaste ot 5 the glori ous ami subsequent pentecostal bap tism o in the fifth place we have here in the words ol jesus a clear statement ol the high and gloi ions function and dignity ot the apostolic office as my lather hath sent me even so i send you as jesus christ was god the father's authorized messenger to man so these apostles were to he jesus < hi'i a's accredited embassadors to their l fellowman to bear witness to christ's de ah and resurrection — to finish and complete the revelation id truth and j race to state the grounds id acquittal and condemnation the terms of pardon to represent the mind and will of christ here is christ exposition of the office of an apostle their voice was to lie — when thev spoke or wrote as apos tles — as truly the voice of christ as his own voice was the voice of uod the father to their office there is no par allel in the after history ol the church the only and true successors of the apostles are the inspired hooks of the new testament 6 in the sixth place we learn the sacredness of the lirst day of the week — the christian sabbath the lord's day it is the weekly memorial of the ! first day of the risen life of jesus creation thus yields to redemption or i rather beautifully merges into it and both are perpetuated to be com memorated to the end of the world a thrilling episode two panthers pursued and killed parkers-burg w va dispatch it has been several years since the scream of the panther has startled the residents of mcdowell county and it was believed that these ferocious ani mal had all been exterminated until a recent discovery proved this to be an error for several weeks in that part of the county running into the moun tains sheep hogs calves and other stock were almost nightly attacked and frequently carried oft bodily the de predations were limited to a radius of twenty square miles it was finally de cided to organize a hunting party for the purpose of ridding the neighborhood of these dangerous animals on the day before that agreed upon for the hunt a number of children were playing near a small log school house when they heard the howling of a dog on the wooded hillside and a moment later a panther was seen to leap on the dog and tear him to pieces the children fled into the schoolhouse and barred the shutters through the crevises they saw the panther creep stealthily to with in a few rods of the building where he stood erect and lashing his tail uttered his peculiar human-like screams it then mon n ted the fence stretched its cat-like body out at full length and af ter a few more screams which terrified the timid children it bounded off and soon disappeared among the trees the children remained iu the closed building till nightfall when a passing farmer was hailed he summoned a dozen neighbors aud under their escort the children were sent to their homes the alarm spread quickly through fhe neighborhood and by nine o'clock the same evening twenty-five men and sixty dogs had gathered for the panther hunt the trail was fresh but the dogs ap peared reluctant to follow it but finally encouraged by the hunters they struck across the mouutanous country for two or three mile the chase continued until the panther was traced in to a nar row canon between the cliffs before the hunters came up the animal had given battle to tiie dogs and in a few moments had torn one to pieces and had mangled two others the remaining ones in the pack beat a hasty retreat pine torches were soon lighted and borne by a dozen hunters the canon was soo'i ablaze with light the men pairing off one of each c tuple carrying a torch in each hand with his gun strapped upon his back while his com pan ion with rifle cocked strode forward the gorge narrowed for a hundred feet the walls not being more than ei^ht or ten feet apart when the wall appeared ; to close up directly in front the crouching bulldogs ahead of the party were looking eagerly upward with their keen teeth glistening and their eager eyes intent on a point in the wall about fifty feet distant the torch-bearers fell behind in order to throw the light without blinding the gunners a few seconds elapsed when poole one of the hunters exclaimed there he is a pair of firey yellow eyeballs were seen fifty feet above the rocky ledge and soon the form of a panther was made out clearly on the rock the animal was flattened out with his forepaws extending slightly over the ledge whyte whispered to six men to step to the front with orders not to tire until called upon or until it became absolute ly necessary the men stepped forward and aimed their guns at the head and eyes and stood ready to fire ai the word ready fire commanded whyte the rifles cracked antl the long lithe body sprang out from the rock and fail with a crash almost at the feet of the men ihe animal had scarcely struck the ground when the dog sprang upon it and a fierce battle followed soon all was over the dogs were dragged off and there lay tin dead panther eight feet long with claws three inches in length it was a male and evidently in its prime there were many men among the hunters who had seen and killed panthers before but none of them had ever seen one so large congratulations were now in order and conjectures were being indulged in | as to whether there was not another — its inate in the neighborhood when a i scream drowned the voices followed by ' a long wailing shriek looking up ward another pair of glistening vye was seen glaring down from among the branches of an immense oak which | hung over the chasm this panther i must have witnessed the contest and i the death of its mate and was yelling fiercely it lay on a large branch al ■ most over the heads of the men but ! over a hundred feet above its tail was swaying toand fro orders were quick ly given and the contents of eighteen ; or twenty gnus were sent at the head of the panther before the sound of the explosion had subsided the animal was seen to spring clear of the tree until it struck the rocky wall of the canon rolling limp and lifeless within thirty feet of where its mate lay dead the does sprang at the beast with a howl but were called off the body was that of a female panther 7 feet 2 inches long the return trip of the hunters was a joyful one with the hides of the pan thers hung on poles between a couple of stalwart men and their march en livened by the clamor of the dogs ijanasas relics the results of yankee enterprise in pushing the old dominion forward to wealth and prospeiity are nowhere more seen than in that old town at whose outskirts was fought the first battle of the late war writes a manasas va correspondent of the cincinnati fnquirer about a year ago a con necticut peddler came along and while disposing of his goods com ived one of those grand ideas which eminate only from a yankee mind lie rented a store room had representations of the battle painted on the door and adver tised extensively in towns and cities on the virginia midland railroad that he had a collection of precious relics from the battle of manasas which he would sell at a low rate about the same time he received several barrels and bottels from springfield mass and then he was ready for business when the relic store was opened it looked like a little arsenal guns and pistols of all kinds and in every stage of decom position . hung on the walls or stood in the windows tattered battle-hags lay about ill confusion and flattened bul lets were to be by the bushel most relics were labeled with the date of the discovery and other interest ing information about the relic hunters twenty years in gathering the precious mementoes as manasas is situated at the junction of the two railroads there is daily a number of persons stop ping over for a few hours few of these can resist the battle-scene and a look in the queer shop once inside they are sure to come away with some relics for the yankee can describe the battle so vividly and speak with such pathos of the poor fallen heroes to whom this or that relic belonged that only a heart of stone could hold out vvithin three months after the open ing of the store he had to send to springfield after another consignment of relics but those did not go off so readily as rumors were circulated cast ing a doubt over the origin still a fair business wascarrhd on and the yankee is said to have made such prof its as will enable liim to retire in afflu ence like his predecessor dick moon which is why i remark the results of yankee enterprises in the south are nowhere more seen than at manasas a bowman ville out merchant re cently received an envelope contain j ing 150 and the following letter i i | owe this much to
