LESSON CONNECTION.
After leaving the Mount of Transfig
uration, Jesus healed demoniac, ant
during the journey through Galilee
which followed Jesus again predicted
his death, and on reaching Capernaur
the tribute money was provided from a
fsh's mouth. The disciples manifested
their selfish natures by getting into q
wrangle among themselves ac to who
should be greatest in ths kingdom, ovi-
dently holding to the suppositiou that
Jesus would socn establish an earthly
kingdom, notwithstanding all that our
Lord had said to thom during the two
years Of his companionship. He again
rebuked them for tho spirit they had
shown, and this rebulre and discourse
rs given at length in Matthew, and Mark
and Luke each insert an incident about
rebuke adnlinistered by the disciples
on one who mad been casting out doyils.
Luke and John give full reports of the
Galilean ministry, but Matthew passes
over in silence nearly elk months of that
time. Here there is rome difficulty
experienced in harlronizing the account
given by Luke and John. Luke pre-
sents the history az single journey to
Jerusalem and to death, and John notes
several visits to Jerusalem. Robinson
places the sending out of the seventy
before the visit to Jerusalem at the
feast of the tabernaoles. Andrews, on
the contrary believes the visit to Jerusa-
lem was in secret, and that Jesus
returned to Galilee after that feast.
Whatever may be the correct render
ing, the ministry through Galilee was
closed wtsen the seventy were sent out.
The time was either in October or
November O: the year A. D. 80.
The lesson given OCCURS on the road
from Ga,ilee to Jerusalem.
Persons-Jesus and seventy of his
disciples.
Incidents The seventy sent out, two
and two-sent out before Jesus into
every place where he was to come. The
instructions given were prayer for
laborers make no provision for a
Journey enter a house and salute it
If received remain in that place and
heal and teach il rejected. to shake off
the dust. The Savior then follows with
the fearful penalty of rejection.
LESSON SUGGESTIONS.
Equipped for Their Misslon-The Lord
appointed seventy others and sent them
sent them forth two by two. He sent
them out to preach the gospel of the
Kingdom of God-to preach the Savior
to the places he intended to visit. Jesus
was the appointing power, the seventy
were the appointed laborers. They were
instructed to pray for more laborers, as
the harvest was plenteous, while the
laborers are few. The harvest is a
large one in comparison to the workers.
The fields are broad and the harvest
abundant. The ripened grain must be
saved. Souls are awaiting the saving
power AS ye 60 preach. carry no purse,
be wise as serpents and harmless as
doves. Rely on prayer = pray for
laboEers, pray for the success of your
hold constant communion with
the father. Observe all these things,
and all will be well.
Prosecuting Their Misslon-First say
Peace be to this house. Let this be your
opening salutation. Convey peaceful
Give household beneoiction
Ye are the servents of the Prince OF
Peace, and let your messages be in the
of peace. Heal the sick, raise
the dead, cleanse the lepers. Whatever
is given to you receive, for the laborer
is worthy of his hire. Ye are laborers
FOR Christ and you are entitled to Com
pensations from men. Say unto them
hat the kingdom of God is come nigh
It is the golden opportunity for men,
through Christ-through him who has
you as his servants.
