FALSE EXCUSES

By DR. G. A. BEATTIE
|LUKE sir: 1m7]
Table Talk.
T HIS lesson finds Jesus where we
left Him In the last lesson, seat
ed at the table In the Pharl-
•ae'a house at Perea, and the parable
of excuses followed, the advice given to
the guests, and the suggestions to his
hoit In regard to hospitality. It
seems to have been suggested by one
of the guests remarking, "Blessed Is
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 genorally given just before
or after sunset, and bade many. It
was not the custom to send written
Invitations "R. S. V. P." (reply If you
please), but they were delivered, in
person by some messenger. They were
notlfled in advance, so they could make
all necessary arrangements to be pres
ent. • Then when the time for the <Jln-
n»r came they were notified that alt
things were ready. We do the same
thing today, with less Interval of time
between the Invitation and seating the
guests at tho table:
It was regarded ,11 a very discour
teous thing after having been notified
not to accept the second Invitation and
come to the feagt Those who declined
were expected to have a good ea
rns.
Excuses.
We are told that these parties who
were Invited all began with one
consent to make excuses. The
word Is equivalent to “beg off." They
were not val^d reasons, but supposed
to be the beat excuses they could think
ot. The first man had bought a piece
of ground and his excuse was that he
must go and look after Its cultivation.
He went on the supposition that a poor
excuse Is better than none. The cul
tivation of his crop would not have
Interfered with attending a single feast.
The second man had bought five
yoke of oxen and his excuse was that
he wanted to go and try them. Hie
Oxen could have waited until another
time. It was simply an excuse. The
truth of the matter was afhat he did
not want to go to the feast. His ex
cuse was like one which Mark Twain’s
Oriental made for himself when hav
ing declined to lend an ax, saying .“that
he needed It himself to use In eating
soup, • and being reminded that one
does not eat soup with sn ax, he re
plied: 'When one Is Inclined not to do
* i“ n * »ny excuse Is good enough.”
The third man had married a wife
»nd, therefore, it was Impossible for
