SOMYStHOOL
Lesson
(By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of
the Sunday School Course in the Moody
Bible Institute of Chicago.)
(Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.)
LESSON FOR APRIL 22
JESUS ANOINTED AT BETHANY.
LESSON TEXT—John 12:1-11.
GOLDEN TEXT—She hath done what
she could.—Mk. 14:8.
This is a lesson of Jesus in the
home. It occurred at the beginning of
passion week. We have before us the
master; the worker, Martha; the wor
shiper, Mary ; ttie witness, Lazarus;
tiie traitor, Judas, and the people with
out. An unconscious bit of wisdom
fell from the lips of that good house
wife who exclaimed, “How much bet
ter my neighbors’ houses look when I
have my windows clean.” Too much
we are looking through the eyes of
selfishness. Out of this lesson let us
learn to look through unselfish eyes.
I. Unjust Criticism (vv. 1-6). It is
six days before Jesus’ last Passover.
The accounts of Matthew and Mark
suggest it to have been within two
days, beeau.se they mentioned this
feast after telling of the conspiracy of
the chief priests and elders with Ju
das, who came to his determination to
sell his Master after the reprimand
given him on this occasion.
(1) The Value of Good Deeds. Je
sus did not forget, in the supreme
hour of his life, the friends whom he
loved. To bring them some further
spiritual gifts, lie had eotne to their
hope in Bethany. Doubtless lie also
lmd in mind the desire to nourish the
faith which had been kindjoil in the
hearts of all by the resurrection of
Lazarus, just as lie returned to Cana
after having' performed his first mir
acle (John 4:34). Jesus was Very
God of Very God, yet he was very
much of a real man; therefore he en
joyed the pleasures of home as much
us other men, and the joys of kinship
and brotherhood.
(2) The Wealth of Good Deeds. Out
of her love Mary expended #sl, prob
ably Jier whole treasure, in the pur
chase of this alabaster box, and put
it aside to use it upon him at the
proper time. We do not think that she
stopped to calculate the cost of this
ointment. Love never estimates value.
Her deed proved it safer guide of con
duct than the calculating prudence of
Judas and the %ther disciples (see
Mutt. 26:8). Such deeds are always
looked upon with suspicion. The Isca
riots usually are the leaders in criti
cizing the actions of others. Envy lay
at the bottom of tlieir criticism, but
good deeds are unconscious, for we
read that “the house was filled with
odor.”
(3) A Standard of Good Deeds
(Mark .14:8); "She did what she
could,” and we have also the record
.of good deeds, a memorial to her
(Murk 14:9). A large number of peo
ple who never give of their own to the
poor nor to the kingdom of God nre
willing to criticize others who do give
out of the gratitude of their loving
hearts.
11. Gracious Commendation (vv.
7-11). Jesus praised where his disci
ples and Judas criticized. The poor
they always had with them (Mark
14:7). This must have been a chal
lenge that evidently they had not at
tended to the poor us they sir mid.
Jesus also teds them frankly that
whatever they d#l for him they must
do speedily. Jesus’ judgment upon
Judas is a rebuke of the disciples; his
exposure of the sophistry of the^crit
ics and of their subtlety is suggestive.
Upon Mary’s act he bestowed the
highest possible praise. “She hath
done what she could.” That is all that
is uslfed of anyone (II Cor. 8:12). Such
commendation as Jesus bestowed upon
Mary he bestowed upon no other, and
ids wonderful predictions concerning
her (Mutt. 26:13) have been literally
fulfilled. Jesus’ judgment upon Mary
is also suggestive. He shielded her,
“let her alone;” He approved her
works as being good, and he inter
preted her innermost purpose in the
act which she had performed. This
outward act .was literally the pouring
forth of her heart’s adoration and wor
ship. Martha was in part taken up
with her household service. Lazarus
was in part taken up with his enjoy
ment of the presence of Jesus, but
Mary was wholly taken up with Jesus
himself. Does the record surprise us:
“Wheresoever this gospel shall be
preached throughout the whole world,
this also which she hath done shall lie
spoken of for a memorial of her?”
Judas, under the judgment of Jesus,
\ias stnag (Matt. 26:14) and hurries
at once to the enemies of Jesus to
strike a bargain with them for the be
trayal of ills Lord though he did not
secure from these enemies the equiva
lent of what she had poured upon him.
Christ will b > no man’s debtor. He
takes the poor offerings we lay before
him, and crowns them with the rich
est reward. Mary’s gift of ointment
received words of commendation of
which she never dreamed, and a re
ward far beyond he#fondest hope, and
lias be r, n the fount of countless deeds
rich with love. Many people had gath
ered, not only for Jesus’ sake, but
that they might see Lazarus also. He
drew people because of what Jesus had
done for him, yet he drew them to
Jesus. This broflght him also under
condemnation, for we must share the
bitterness of the foes of Jesus.
He’s telling her that nothing he
received from home brought more
joy. longer-lasting pleasure, greater
' relief from thirst and fatigue, than

indigestion in many forms, internal
nervousness, caused by incompatible
food fermentation, coming up of food,
sour stomach, headache, apparent pal
pitation of the heart, habitual consti

by a-torpid liver, and a general break
down with low spirits and depressed

introduced in this and foreign coun

Died of Premature Old Age!
How many times we hear of com
paratively young persons passing away
when they should have lived to be 70
or 80 years of age. This fatal work is
usually attributed to the kidneys, as,
when the kidneys degenerate, it causes
auto-intoxication. The more injuri
ous the poisons passing thru the kid
neys the quicker will those noble or
gans be degenerated, and the sooner
they decay.
It is thus the wisest policy, to pre
vent premature old age and promote
long life, to lighten the work of the
kidneys. This can be done by drink
ing plenty of pure water all day long,
and occasionally taking Anuric, double
strength, before meals. This can be
obtained at almost any drug store. You
will find Anuric more potent than llthla
for it dissolves uric acid as water does
sugar.
