LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 27
REVIEW.
READING LESSON—John 3:14-21.
GOLDEN TEXT—I come quickly: hold
fast that which thou hast, that no one
take thy crown. Rev. 8:1L-
The lessons of the first quarter of
this year's cycle chiefly present Jesus
| as the great teacher. Those of the
| second quarter principally concern the
i aspect of his saviorhood, whereas dur
ing this present quarter we see him
mainly as the great judge. These les-
sons have dealt with matters which
| occurred during the last months, we
| may almost say the last weeks, of his
life. During that “year of opposition”
he is met with the most determined
hostility and persecution. Neverthe-
less he proceeds against it all with
calm assurance, in strict justice and
without a shadow of faltering.
This reading lesson contains the
most celebrated and familiar verse in
the bible. In it we see:
A mighty God—‘For God"
A mighty motive—‘‘So loved”
A mighty scope—‘The world”
A mighty sacrifice—/‘So gave His only be-
gotten Son'’
A mighty escape—‘‘Not perish”
A mighty gift—Eternfll life.”
We here see Jesus set forth in grace
and while it does not declare that he
came to judge, yet, in the passage are |
set forth those principles upon which |
he is constantly the judge, and where-
by he will eventually act in the last
and final judgment.
God’s Right. \
In the first lesson, that of the labor
ers, Jesus taught his disciples the sov-
ereignty of God. God has a right to
do as seemeth best to himself. In this
parable we see the true motive in serv-
ice, viz., fidelity and not for hope ot
reward. Jesus thus prepared the way
for his denunciation and judgment, ot
the rulers.
Lesson two, which deals with the
gelf-seeking disciples and the self-sac-
rificing Savior,” is intended to teach
that there is but one path to true and
lasting greatness, and that is the path
of sacrifice and service.
The storys of Bartimaeus, lesson |
three, is a beautiful and touching ex-
hibition of his activity of mercy even
in the midst of the approaching judg-
ment.
In the fourth lesson is presented the
parable of the pounds and the talents.
Both are spoken to the disciples and |
both deal with their responsibilities to
himself in the coming days. Our eter-
nal reward depends upon our acts and
attitudes in the life that now is.
Lesson five presents Jesus as the
Messiah prophesied of in the Old Tes-
tament. It deals with the story of his
coming into Jerusalem. Entering thus
in such a manner demands our atten-
tion for it foreshadows the time of his
judicial activity with reference to the
people and the nation.
The next five lessons may be said
to deal with this ministry of judgment.
in lesson six we see some of the |
preparatory signs and teaching. The |
blasting of the fig tree and his cleans- !
ing of the house of God are both sym- |
bolical.
Lesson seven teaches us that if we
fail to be faithful in the kingdom |
which has been entrusted to us it will |
certainly be taken from us.
Lésson eight presents the parable of
the marriage feast in which Jesus un-
folds the plan of God's invitation and
{ts human rejection in three stages.
God’s Kinship.
The ninth lesson is a political in-
quiry which our Lord answered by
setting forth all of the important state
relationships according to the funda-
mental fact of the kingship of God.
“Render unto Caesar the things that
are Caesar's, and unto God the things
that be God’s.” No other answer of
his better reveals the infinite wisdom, |
gkill and tact of our Lord.
In lesson eleven, the parable of the
virgins, we are taught that the Lord
Jesus is coming again and we must
watch and be ready against that immi-
nent event. This lesson also suggests
the responsibilities of his people dur-
ing his absence.
The twelfth lesson is a prediction of
the judgment of the nations and re-
veals the way by which he is to begin
the administration which will ensue
when that kingdom is established.
There is a kingdom prepared from the |
foundation of the world for the right- |
eous and a punishment prepared for
the devil and those who willfully
choose to do his will. Those who cast
their lot with his must go with him |
to spend eternity. They themselves
git in judgment upon themselves, judge |
themselves not worthy.
The chief value of these lessons dur- :
ing this quarter is in the revelation |
which they give us of the fact that
when our Lord made that last journey |
to Jerusalem it was not to the death
of a victim, one who was mastered by
circumstances, who could not escape;
but as a king. As he marched along
that pathway “setting his face stead-
fastly,” he perfectly understood, and
of which he was accomplishing the
|
resolutely faced a passion by means
|
|
|
purposes of God and beyond the dark- |
ness of which he saw the brightness of |
kind.

Uric acid is a poison formed inside our bodies
in digesting certain foods, especially meat,
and by the burning up of nerve and muscle
cells during exertion.

PARADISE FOR THE ARTIST
Devotees of the Brush Are Accorded
Accommodations Without Price
at Inn at Capri.
Capri, beautiful in itself as a winter
resort, offers an irresistible invitation
to artists, since it has an inn where
anyone, by painting a picture on the
wall can get free board.
To the lovely island of Capri, with
its perennial summer, its blue grotto,
and its lemon groves, came, some fifty
years ago, a ruined artist. He opened
an inn, and died rich. In his will,
leaving the inn to his heirs, he made
these conditions:
“The charge per day, two bottles of
red Capri wine included, is never to
be more than six francs.
“If any artist is too poor to pay he
shall paint a picture upon some wall-
space, receiving all the accommoda-
tion accorded to those paying the high-
est price.
“If any German artist shall come
to the inn he shall be accommodated,
and shall receive the amount of his
fare to Germany upon his promising
never to return to Italy.”
The inn is conducted today on these
conditions. Its walls are covered with
paintings. Now and then a German
gets his fare*home.
The Bridal Trousseau.
The old idea of providing brides
with a score or more of gowns, wraps
and hats has quite gone by. Even the
fashionable trousseau of today con-
tains no more than a dozen gowns, if
as many. Styles change so fast that
by fall the gowns for the June wed-
ding, necessarily made some weeks be-
fore the ceremony, begin to look odd.
Some authority has declared that the
best dresged woman in Paris buys no
more than three new toilets each year,
but the opinion may be ventured that
she is altering her last year’s supply
most of the time. The vast assort-
ments of lingerie have also dwindled.
