FALSE EXCUSES

Table Talk.
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-

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.

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

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
