T HIS leseon flnda Jesus where we left Him in the laet lesson, seat ed at the table In the Pharl Me’> house at Perea, and the parable of excuses followed, the advice given to the guests, and the suggestions to his host In regard to hospitality, seems to have been suggested by one of the guests remarking, “Bleased It he that shall eat bread In the king dom of God.” It was an Oriental way of expressing the Idea of being mem bers of that kingdom and sharers In It Christ takes up the figure and gives His parable. A certain man made a great supper or dinner, which In the East was generally given Just before or after sunset, and bade many. It was not the custom to sand written Invitations “H. 8. V. P." (reply If you please), but they were delivered In person by some messenger. They were notified In advance, so they could make all necessary arrangements to be pres! ent. Then when the time for the din ner came they were notlfled that all things were ready. We do the same thing today, with leaa Interval of time between the Invitation and seating the guests at tho table. It was regarded as a very discour teous thing after having been notified not to accept the second Invitation and come to the feast. Those who declined were expected to have a good ex- CUM. Excuses. W# are told that these parties who vsrs Invited all began with one twsent to make excuses. The vord Is equivalent to "beg off.” They »«re not valid reaeona,' but aupposed to be the best excuses they coujd think of. The first man had bought a piece of ground and hie excuse was that he must go and look after Its cultivation. Hs went on the supposition that a poor 25J* I- better than none. Tho cul- . , ot h,s cr °P would not have *£ ,eretl "^t* 1 attending a single feast, second man had bought live rose of oxen and his excuse was that to go and try them. Hla oxen could have waited until another [!?*• If was simply an excuse. The *1 ,he matter was that he did ant , t0 *° ,0 feast.

Mater & Berkels, land or stock, or In geUIng married, and no need that they should cause ua to neglect any of the duties of life. Christ wished to show them how easy It was to find an excuse, when we wished. When we have neglected our duty or committed a wrong, It Is nat ural to frame some excuse. When Ood Interrogated Adam con corning his eating the forbidden fruit, he -could think of nothing dee, so ho blamed the woman for It. And ever since man has been doing the same thing. And when Eve was questioned her excuse was that the serpent be gulled her. When Moses came down from the mountain tond found the Israelites wor shipping a golden calf, and Inquired about It, Aaron told him that the peo ple threw their gold Into the furnace and It came out a calf. When Saul disobeyed the command to utterly destroy Agag and all his flocks, and Samuel asked him In re gard to It, his jxcuse was that he had saved the beat of the flocks for sacrl en we wish to do anything ho obstacle Is too great to overcome, but when we-do not wish to do It we can And an excuse In the most trivial thing. That waa the truth that Jesus wished to Impress on the minds of His hearers, who could make the applica tion to themselves. The kingdom of Ood waa the great feast to which they had been Invited. Everything had been prepared for the redemption of man. Its coming was announced by the prophets, by John the Baptist, by the angels. "The full ness of time” had come. It waa a time of peace. The gates of Janus were closed for the flrst time In three hun dred years. The Greek language waa universally spoken. Roads haa been constructed; Roman dominion was' uni versal. Now all things were ready. The Messianic reign was about to begin. Ood had sent his only Bon as Hla mes senger to Invite them to the goepel feast. For nearly three years he had been resslng the Invitation and they had een offering excuses no better than he had mentioned In his parable. Ths teaching of ths parable Is as ap plicable to us as It was to the Jews. Men make excuses for not being Christians. They si) elites In the church do not profess are better than others who do; that they cannot believe everything In the Bible; that they or their manner of conducting It; or that they would hare to give up some pleasure: or that some day they Intend :o become Christians. The dsvtl is always satisfied with the last excuse If no other Is given. When all these excuses are analysed It will be found that the real reason men are not Christians Is because they do not went to be Christians. Plenty of Gustts. After these men In the parable had declined, the master of the house sent out his servants to extend a general Invitation. 2 The Jewish nations had been-ahe conservators of God’s truth for ages the Are had burned on their alters; the blood of their victims had fore- shadowed the blood that would flow on calvary; they had been God’s pe culiar people, guided by His hand, pro tected by HU arm, and now tha got' pel is offered to them first, and if they reject It, then It will be offered to ths Gentiles. The feast shall not tall for lack of ^Th'e Jowe refused to accept the In' vltatlon of Jesus to s place In a king' dom He was founding. As a conse quence their nation was destroyed and scattered. The Oentlleg were celled, those who belonged to the spiritual highways and hedges, and today this kingdom has become the mightiest power on earth. All Invited. The king’s son brings the Invttm- Cfon.
