LESSON VII, FIRST QUARTER, INTER-
NATIONAL SERIES, FEB. II.

Text of the Lesson, Luke \, 25-37-Mcm-
ory Verses, 25-27 - Golden Text, Lev.
xix, Is-Commentary by the Rev. ID. NJ.
Stearns.
%. And behold, n certain lawyer stood
up and tempted Him, saying, Master, what
shall do to inherit eternal lifeg' After
the discourse of the last lesson on humil-
ity Jesus rebuked James and John for
their Observation-Disclosures and zeal, which was
not of God after which He sent out the 20
to heal the sick and preach the kingdom
duke tx, 40, to X, l6). Then follow
probably the events and teaching of John
vii, 2, to X, 81, after which the 20 return
and report as in Luke X, 1924, after which
comes the lesson of today, in which the
| lawyer, one of the wise and prudent OF
verse 81, is instructed concerning eterna;
life The lawyer was not so anxious tC
obtain eternal life as he was to try Jesus
and like those of chapter XII, 81, get Hin
to say something whereby they might &C
cuse Him.
90 He said unto him: What is writer
in the law? How readest thouy" This
lawyer was supposed to he well versed in
the law of Moses, and therefore to that
the Lord directed him. Many questions
are asked today which should be answered
INV. What is writteng How rradest tbouf
instead of by argument or words of ours.
%. And he answering, said, Thou
shalt love the Lord, thy God, with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all
thy strength, and with all thy mind, and
thy neighbor as thysclf." He quoted
promptly and correctly from Deut. vi, 3,
