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 150 Cotton Bales Burn, | Special to The Georgian.
