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 Exquisite Glass The gold-inlaid and tinted crystal we are showing is unsurpassed for beauty of shape, design and coloring.

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.
