ON the Lesson.


Many things have TRANSFERRED in the life OF
our Lord between the TRANSPORTATION ami
the sending out of these seventy. We will
just indicate them and where they may DC
found. After they came down from the
mount He cast out dumb spirit which the
disciples could not cast out; He again fore
told Els violent death; He taught humility
by the little child; He rebuked the disciples
because they forbade one to cast out devils in
Jesus's name, simply because he was not of
their company; He iourneyed through
Samaria on His way to Jerusalem, but is re-
jected by the Samaritans; He talks to sew
eral who desire to follow Him. All this is
briefly mentioned in Luke tx, 1872. Mat
thew and Mark record some things more
fully. But according to Mimpriss's Harmony
we must insert between the 50th and 51st
verses of Luke tx, the whole of Matt. xviii.
(which is peculiar 10 Matthew. and the
whole of John vii. 2, to XII: 81 (which is pc
culiar to john. That will bring us to this
lesson, which isrccorted only by Luke The
whole of Luke x, ], to xviii, H. follows now
IN consecutive order and is peculiar to him.

other seventy also, and sent them two and

previous chapter ". sly it is written that
I when the time was come that He should
be received up, He steadfastly set His face to

that the sending forth of these seventy was
last appeal ere His crucih3ion. They were to
60 before Him into every place into which He
was Himself about to come, showing His
power and stirring up spirit of e3pecta-
ton. They were like the twelve, to, go by

q. eff the Son Of Peace be there" They
were not taught to expect reception in
every house. They were to proclaim peace
to every house they might enter, and if re-
ceived blessing would be upon that house;
but il refused they were simply to turn away
and 20 in peace to another house.
z. "Eating and drinking such things as
they give, for the laborer is worthy OF his
hire" When they found welcome in any
house, there they were to abide and be con-
tent with such fare as might be provided, not
running from house to house for the sake OF
receiving better fare. We are not to think
too much Of what we eat, but where We ore
welcome there receive and gratefully partake

unto them.

concluded His instructions 70 the seventy.
