SCHOOL. INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS FOR OCTOBER 28, Snlileel: Thp rrndlarnl Son, f.nke . 1 1 74 (lobl.n T.il: Luke ., IB Memory Verses, 40-24 Coininentar) on tha Oay T.ppHon IL "A certain man." The simple, tin pretention beginning of the most beauti ful of nil the pnrable. The man i here the image of God the Father. "Two son." Until nre .lows. Thp idrn that the elder son represpnts the Jews, nnd the younger tho (ientiles is foreign to the paralile. hut in character the two sons may lie said to be representative of mankind, for we have in them cxninples of two grpnt. phases of alienation from (iod-lhe elder is blind ed by his self-righteousness, the younger degraded by his unrighteousness. 12. "The younger." He represents openly wicked person, such ns the publi cans nnd sinners. Hp also iPtupspnts the thoughtless, enreles youth. "Give me the portion of goods." This will nopenr plain when it is considered that it ban been a cutnni in the Fast for son to demand and receive their portion ot the inherit ance during the father'n lifetime. "He di vided -his living." The yielding to the re onet strikingly setn forth the permission of free-will to man, and also the fait of Cod's bestowing many gifts upon even the unthankful anil disobedient. l.'l. "Not many flay." He bad derided upon his course and hastened to bp gone. "Gathered all together." Sinner that, go astray from God venture their all. "look his journey." lie was wenrv of hi fath er's government and desired greater lib el ty. As soon as the bridle of restraining grace i taken otV we nre soon gone. The .journey the prodigal took re present, tlie sinner in hi departure from God. He went into a "far country," far fromtrn'h and virtue. 'Wasted his substance." So sinners waste the gilts Co, I ha given them. Time, talent, energies, life, all w-astcd. "With riotous hying," In verse ilil we "0 how low he fell. His body, mind nnd soul were ilebnsed and ruined. 14. "Spent nil." He did not stop until his last dollar was gone. His passions reigned. This represpnts the sinner who hns thrown away the mercy, favor nnd love of God. and haa wilfully rejected the salvation of Christ. "A mighty famine." The soul living nt a distance from God, ami shut out from intercourse witii Him. will very soon feel its own utter empti ness. A mighty famine will follow. "In want." Ural want is soul want. The prodigal now felt the effect of his dissi pated course. 'I he step downward were "apostasy, proflgacy, penalty." Sec 1'rov. 24: 31. L"i. "Joined himself tn a citizen." The same wicked lite that before was repre sented by riotous living is here repre sented by servile living, for sinner are perfect slaves. The devil i the citizen of that country: he i both in city and coun try. "To feed swine." Thi wa doubly degrading, and especially so to a Jew. 1(1. "Would fain have been tilled with the husks." (I. Y.) Tho husks were not the pods of dome other fruit, but "the fruit of the carob-tree. used for feeding swine.'' He was driven to the extremity of trying to satisfy his hunger with the food that was tit only for swine. So sin ners endeavor to satisfy the soul wilb earthly and sensual delight. "No man gave unto him." Those whom be bad called bi friends now- deserted him. They had taken his money and then cast him asitle. Satan's agents do the same today. The saloonkeeper will rob a man of his money, health nnd character, and thru kick him out of the bad; door to die. 17. "He came to himself." Sin de thrones the reason. A slate of. sin is n state of folly and madness, but the mad ness i in the heart. Keel, ft: 3. Hi lack of reason i seen. 1. Ill that he called for In money. 2. When be left home. .'I. When be went to live with harlots. 4. When be undertook to satisfy hi hun ger with swine's fond. Hut he now begin to sense his condition and see his folly. Those who have once known the Lord can not derive satisfaction from the world. "Mrcad enough ami to spare." The lowest in my lather's house has bread to give to the poor. God'n people nre abundant Iv supplied with gootl things. "I perish with hunger." Sinners will not come to Christ until they see themselves ready to perish. 15. 'T will arise." He had left home by his own free will, and he must return in the same v.-ay. God compel no one to do light. "And go." Following the deci sion there must be an effort put forth. In reluming to God there i something to do. "1 have sinned." The first thing to do is to make, a full confession of our sins. 1 John 1:0: Job 33: 27. 2K. "Against heaven." Against God. Fvery sin i a sin against God. "And before thee." He had also sinned against his earthly father. It is ever a token of the sincerity of repentance when one views even the sin committed against others a transgressions against God. 10. "No more worthy." He is ready to humble himself. He knows that in justice his father could shut the door against him; he will plead for merry only. 2n. "He arose." He immediately did all of these things that he had decided upon. "His father saw him." So God knows when we start toward Him. Sin had made the distance great, hut as soon as the lost one starts to return the father hail com passion. "And ran," etc. This repre sents the readinesH with which God re ceives returning sinners. 21. "I have sinned." He make this confession personal; he abases himself. This is nlways the result of true repent ance. "And am no more worthy." All true penitents feel their uiiworthiuess. They lire conscious that thev deserve nothing but death, and their only hope is in I he mercv of Christ. 22. "Hut the father." The lather did not wait until he had finished his confes sion. Jn this we see the great affection of the fnther and his willingness to for give. "Said to his servants." Tho fath er's joy is full, and he instantly issued or ders to relehrnto his return, "liring forth fiuickly." (It. V.) Let us show nt once by our actions that the wanderer is fully reinstated. "I'ut a ring on his hand." A sign of affection and that he was a free man. There is no license Riven here to adorn the body, eh some have vainly tried to show. The truo standard for nucli adorning is given bv l'aul and l'cter. 1 Tim, 2: I), 10; 1 lVt.'3: 3. 4. 23. "Me merry." lie joyful nnd hanpv. The llible gives the children of (iod li cense to shout for joy. W ben Christ re stores the wanderer there is general re joicing, and he is immediately treated as a son. The best that God hns iH given him, nnd the past is entirely blotted out. 24. "U'ns dend." "Lost to nil good, given up to nil evil." "Is alive again." Here was special cause for rejoicing. Who would not be partaker of this joy?

I llrst had my attention attracted to the subject by n curious Incident that happened several years ago nt a crossing near Dirniliigliain, Ala., where trains pass twice a day lit a speed of about forty miles nil hour. Tlie track are seven feet apart, 'and there would seem Io lip ample room to stand between them In perfect safety. One afternoon n small fox terrier dog belonging to a section boss was asleep In the middle space, and woke up Just as the trains closed In from each side. There wes u Parrel on the ground nearby, mid the dog, In his fright, Jumped t.ti top of It. That possibly hroiight blin into one of the rushing envelopes of air; nt any rate, he was whirled off Ids feet ami thrown clear to the roof of the opposite car, where he was subsequently found. Jammed against n ventilator chimney, with no Injury except a broken leg. How In the world he ever made rueli a Journey and escaped nlive Is a mystery, unless his fall was deadened liy a cushion of air. "Apropos of atmospheric pressure, It I a well known fact that there Is a 'vortex space' or 'zone of suet Ion' di rectly behind any rapidly moving train, and Its presence accounts for a grotesque happening that took place Koine time n;ro on the Southern I'liclHe. While the Ciillforula-lioiind express was going through Western Arizona lit a clipping gait a passenger who was on ihe verse of the Jlin-Jams rushed out to the rear platform, climbed on the mil. and jumped off. lie was wearing a very long linen duster, and a muscular tourist who happened to lie on the platform at the time, grabbed It bv the talis as It sailed by and yelled for help. When some of the others ran to his assist ance they found the lunatic stretched straight out In the air behind the plat form, howling like n Commiiin-he, but safely anchored by his duster, which had turned inside oiil and caught him nt the shoulders. The muscular gen tleman was hanging on for dear life, bill had ft mil been for the fact that the woiibl-lie suicide was virtually sustained and carried along by the suet inn of Hi" vortex space something would certainly have given way. They reeled the man in like u kite, and he promised to ho good. Wo have very little exact knowledge nt pro-sent of the atmospheric conditions that sur round a moving train.
