Table Talk.
T HIS lemon flnde Je»ue where we
left Him In the last Iesaon, aeat-
ed at tha table In the Pharl-
vee's house at Perea, and the parable
of excuses fallowed, the advice given to
the guests, and the auggeatlons to hla
host In regard to hoapltallty. 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
land or stock, or In getting married,
and no need that they should cause us
to neglect any of the duties of Ilfs.
Christ wished to show them how easy
It was to And an excuse when we
wished. When we have neglected our
It.
Christ takes up the figure and gives
Hla parable. A certain man made a
great supper or dinner, which In the
Ea,t was generally given Just btfore
or after sunset, and bade many. It
wts 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
notified In advance, so they could make
all necessary arrangements to be pres-
rnt. Then when the time for the din
ner came they were notified that all
things wore ready. We do the same
thing today, with less Interval of time
between the Invitation and seating the
guests at the 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
cuse.
Exousss.
We are told that these parties who
were Invited all bfgan with one
consent to make excuses. The
word la equivalent to "beg off." They
wore not valid reasons, but supposed
to be the best excuses they could think
of. The first man had bought a piece
of ground and hit excuse was that he
must go and look after Us cultivation.
He went on the supposition that a poor
excuse 1s better than none. The cul
tivation of his crop would not have
Interfered with attending a single feast.
The second mail had bought live
yoke of oxen and his exouse was that
he wanted to go and try them. Ills
oxen Could have waited until another
time n was simply an excuse. The
truth of the matter was that he did
not want to go to the feast. His ex
cuse was like one which Mark Twatn’a
Oriental made for himself when hav
ing declined to lend an ax, saying “that
he needed It himself to use In eating
“»l>. and being reminded that one
ural to frame some excuse.
When Ood interrogated Adam con
cerning his eating the forbidden fruit,
he could think of nothing else, so he
blamed the woman for it. And ever
since man baa been doing the same
thing. And when Eve was questioned
her excuse was that the serpent be
guiled her.
When Moses came down from the
mountain and 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 Agog and all hts
flocks, and Samuel asked him In re
gard to It, his jxcuse was that he had
saved the best of the flocks for sacrt
flcln
'When one Is Inclined not to db
» thing any excuse Is good enough."
The third man had married a wife
*nd, therefore. It was impossible for
him t,, come. It would bo a pool- ex
cuse for a man In these days, because
hl» wife would Insist on his going and
«»ng with him.
it win be noticed that the excuses
were founded on the wrong emphasis
»f things that In themselres were right
**”* proper; nothing wrong In buying

When we wish to do anything no
obstacle I* too great to overcome, but
when we do not wish to do It we can
find an cxcpie In the molt trivial
thing. That was the truth that Jesus
wished to Imin-ess on the minds of His
hearers, who could make the applica
tion to themselves.
The kingdom of Qod was ths 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 was a time
of peace. The gates of Janus . were
closed for the first time In three hun
dred years. The Oreek language was
unlvenally spoken. Roads had been
constructed; Roman dominion was uni
versal.
Now all things were ready. The
Meesianlc reign was about to begin.
God had lent nil only Son as His mes
senger to Invite them to the gospel
feait-
For nearly three years he had been
been offering excueea no better than he
had mentioned In hla parable.
Tbe teaching of the parable Is as ap
plicable to ue ss It was to the Jews.
Men make excuses for not being
Christians.
They say there are too many hypo-*
elites In the chnreh; that some who
do not profess are better than others
who do; that they cannot believe
everything In the Bible; that they
would have to change their business,
or their manner of conducting It; or
that they would hare to give up some
pleasure; or that some day they Intend
to become Christians.
Ths devil 1a always satisfied with
the last excuse If no other is given.
When all these excuses are analysed
It will be found that the real reaeon
men are not Christians Is because they
do not want to be Christiana
Plenty of Guests.
Attar these men In tbe parable had
declined, the master of the house sent
out hla servants to extend a general
Invitation.
The Jewish nations had been the
conservators of God's truth for ages;
the Are had burned on their altars;'
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 hsnd, pro
tected by Hla arm, and now the gos
pel Is offered to them first, and It they
iwject It, then It will be offered to ths
Uentfles.
• The feast shall not fall for lack of
guests.
