STEVENSON WASHINGTON, D. C. MATTHEW THE Matthew Luke Golden am not come to the righteous but lAlke 6:32. Matthew gives us in two words the to his life. The other writers erlooked his part, but when the uthor of the opening book nf the Testiment starts to write his arrative of the life of Jesus Christ, here is the evidence that he looks i his conversion us the most im- J.portant event in his life.

Luke to him as Levi but Matthew I ielU us that Jesus met him when ho "sitting the seat of custom." I He was a publican I I The fact that Matthew was a pub- I llcjin indicates all that we know of I man before Christ called him to I be associated with Him. He belonged the most hated cltss in nil Palese. The tax collector for the Ro- jflan's was displaced by the Jews, conception of Oicir rights n3 the chosen people, to whom God given the Holy Land, made it difficult for them to pay the taxes to tho publicans, who were the graf- Urs of that ape. i work culled 1 pirn to be "a hard, greedy, cxtortion- jjte, oppressive tax-collector; a man Who coined gold from widow's teara And orphans' hunger; a man who cut I the farmer's harvest in half; a man balked the merchant of his profits; the bain of industry, tho thief 1 bf prosperity, the mildew of trade." i The Spoilman Saved. Matthew's nationalism was so weak ttiat he became a spoilman.

renegade apostate. He forgot the teachings, I ancestors about desire for gold ahead of his'country's claims and religious obligations. This proves that Lcvi. v. hom nfter His conversion was called Matthew, lacked self-respect.

He was not a patriotic Jew. He apparently was principal, plan and purpose pf life. He had not found himself cr learned that God had a plan for him and training of hia God. He placed his His position as the collector of customs near Capernaum on the highway of commerce between Damascus r.nd the Mediterancnn jjave him opportunity to hear of the wonderful work of Jesus. The whole city and section was excited by his originality, personality, power os healer and preacher.

The antagonism of the leaders to Christ would find a welcome from a for the brilliant minister, who attracted a congregation wherever he went. Tho pub- Hcni was startled and surprised to have Jesus stop at tho custom's office and show a personal interest In him by inviting him to follow Him. It marked the beglning of a new career to Matthew, whose memory of it is given quite in his gospel, which bears his name. The Social Leader. Matthew evidently was not satisfied with obing welcomed Into the society of JPSUS.

He made a feast and invited nil of his friends, who were lUHicans and sinners. Jesus had a for "dining out." He wiu a welcomed guest nt 1 any table. The Pharisees noted his presence at the banquet where apostates and men who failed to comply with the religious requirements of tho Templo were grouped at the table with the Master. Jesus heard thorn ask why Me ate with publicans and sinners. Matthew caught his reply.

It thrilled Him. He liked the way Jesus took up his defense. "They that arc whole have no need of a physician r-ut they (hat are sick." He forgot the balance hut some one has well said that the balance of His defence can be found in Luke's parable of the lost. The opening of chanter tells how PILLS ON A PULLMAN HO put the "sleep" fn Sleepin Car? Nobody! It was a PILL. A pill made it to sleep restfully in a Pullman, and leave the train next morning with clear head, bright eyes--fullof enthusiasm or br eakf a st and pep" for the new day.

Here's how: Just before you peel down the sheets, take two Beecham's Pills. This is the pleasant, sure way to attune the organs of digf-stion and elimination to normalcy, and thus assure a night of tranquil repose. At All Druggists--25o and 50c the all fif- 'the many 'raining. publicans and sinners drew near un- him for to hear him." Christ won Matthew for a higher risk that day. It meant something for tho tax collector to leave his bus- ness, fortune and family to follow Jesus.

It meant more for him to re- vonl to the Pharisees the independence that he did by calling Matthew. One of thn sources of the bitter hos- ility exhibited by the religious leaders was due to the fact that the Master would open the door of the Kingdom to these despised members of society. These men, who were ostracized r.nd considered outcasts, were cases men of ability and The men, whom Matthew entertained and whom Jesus addressed, belonged to that class of wealthy individuals whose resources bad "the strange power of materializing, nar rowing and hardening their souls." This makes it difficult even todny for a rich man to enter heaven but Christ never despaired of tho possibility of reaching the man of money and business ability. Matthew belonged to this class when be arose up and followed Christ. The Scholar.

Dr. Whyte has well said that when the publican responded to the Master's call to follow Jesus that "the only things he took with him out ol his old occupation were his pen ant ink." After tho feast that he gave in honor of the Master we never hoar of him again but the. influence of his pen in the gospel which he was influenced and inspired to write has made him one of the greatest benefactors of In writing the gospel Matthew reveals the traces of his business car- ppr. He gives us the fullest account of Christ's Sermon on the that outlined His programme for the Kingdam of God. He was impressed by the Lord's teachings concerning, stewardship and the proper use wealth.

He reveals his scholarship in the arrangement cf his gospel which wr.s written with a purpose to prove to the Jews that Jesus fulfilled the prophecy concerning the Messiah The vntin who in former days had been indifferent to his national faith and ideals became under the Influence and instruction of the Lord lesus the most patriotic of all the Apostles. He Bought to present to countrymen in his biograph of Jesus the fact that Ho was "tha ihrist of Israel, born king of the Jews." He proved that he was a master of the Old Testament Scrip- which he quotes to prove how Jesus in His ministry did what Ha did that it might be fulfilled was spoken." Matthew's day spent in the presence of Jesus had resulted in a complete moral and spiritual revolution. He had been despised because was not patriotic and indifferent to the faith, teachings and traditions of his countrymen, his gospel sounds he note of loyal, patriotism and the most intense interest in the delicious requirements and prophecies of his ancestors faith. Judaism helped him understand Christianity, which had in its lap, and he found In the words cf tho Ixird a constant eminder of the prophecies of tha Old Testament. The First Matthew's respect for the traditions of tho past does not degenerate into dogmatism and ceremonialism.

This has made it eminently proper that his gospel, which is throughly Jewish, should be the first book of the New Testament making as it does a connection with thn Old Testament. Tie showed commercial skill and literary ability in the way he grouped his material in a peculiar order, that must have filled him with joy he recalled the day spent with the Lord in Galilee and about Capernaum where he first met Him face to face and answered His call to become an Apostle. We owe to Matthew's memory, obcsrvntion, reflection, reverence and research more than to any other Apostle the preservation in its fullest forms of the words and sayings of Jesus especially those that "present Him in the character of the great Prophet, who, like the prophets of old time, denounces national sins and predicts he future of thc nation nnd the Church. Instances of this character- stic are the full report of the Sernon on the Mount in three chapters; khe charge to the npostles in chapter the great series of prophetic parables in chapter XIII. peculiar to his gospel; the denunciation of the Scribes and Pharisees in chapter the prediction of the fall of Jerusalem ar.d the parables of the second advent in chapter XXIV and XXV.

Twonsey, who has lived in Hamilton and vicinity for fifty years la widely known arid is cordially greeted whenever an acquaintance chances to meet him. Towsey does not show his seven decades and more of age and is often mistaken, for a man of lesser years. Towsey had quite a bit of experience in his younger days spent in slavery and retains vivid impression of incidents while still subject to a southern master. The old gentleman, liberated in accordance with the memorable proclamation of Abraham Lincoln is an eager conversationalist and especially relishes an opportunity to tell a "I was in slavery up till the end of the war," Towsey commenced his short sketch of his life. Continuing he said, "For a time my mother I were together, were slaves for the same master; the rest of the family and my father were scattered about During the great war I was under several masters in Boone county Kentucky.

First one would buy me and then would have to sell mo be- cnuse he could not afford to keep me." Among other things Towsey said that at one time the mortgage on his mother and himself was held by a certain Joseph R.
