LESSON XIII, SECOND QUARTER, M
TERNATlONAL SERIES, JUNE 80.

of the Second Quarter Golden Text,
Heb. xii, documentary by the Rev. ID.
NJ. Stearns.
LESSON 1.-The Triumpha Entry Mark
xi, LID Golden text, Mark XII, 8, "Hosan-
ma, blessed is He that cometh in the name
of the Lord" His knowledge of all things
and His control over all things may be
dwelt upon with great profit. Even the
untamed ass colt is perfectly submissive
to Him. His entry into Jerusalem in this
manner, which was liberal fufllment of
! Zech. tx, o, teaches us to believe that the
] other prophecies of Zech ii, a. ~; vi, 10;
viii, 3; xii, 10; xiv. 3, A. 8, and many such
like, shall be just rs literally fulfilled.
LESSON 1.-THE Resurrecton-A Easter
Lesson Il Cor. XIV, 3-14). Golden text,
Cor. XIV, 90, Now is Christ risen from the
dead, and become the first fruits of them
that slept" Unless Christ had risen from
the dead there would have been no alva-
ton, no forgiveness of sins, no gospel to
! preach. But during the 10 days between
! His resurrection and ascension He was seen
and talked with by many people who were
| His disciples on at least ten different occa-
sions, and after He assembled visbly to heav-
en- he was seen by Savl and Stephen and
John
LESSON III. Watchfulness (Math. xiv,
42-5D. Golden text, Mark xiii, 80, Take
| sc heed, watch and pray" This is called
| temperance lesson, and is received into
the heart would greatly tend to make us
/ temperate in all things There is nothing
so purifying and separating and inspiring
as to be constantly watching for til, COM
| ing of the Son of Man Three essentials of
Il good servant are given-ready, faithful,
wise. Ready to meet his Master at any
moment faithful to his Masters affairs at
ell times, and wise i'm his watchfulness and
taithfuness, his lamp filed and brightly
burning.
LESSON IV.-The Lords Supper Mark
xiv, l2-26). Golden text, Luke xxi, 10,
This do in remembrance of me-" We
have here another instance of His omnis-
cience and of the subsection of willing
hearts unto Him. An appropriate and
helpful word in connection with the lesson
is the association of Cor. Xi, 26, with Luke
xix, 10, "Ye do show the Lords death till
! He come" therefore occupy till He come"
! And how can we better occupy than by dy-
4 ing constantly to self and living unto God,
yielding fully to Him for His pleasure?
LESSON N.-The Agony In Gethsemane
| Mark xiv, 32-42). Golden text, John xviii,
H. 1.-The cup which my Father hath given
me, shall | not drink it?" Not even the
favored three could in any sense APP sycate
the awfulness of this hour, but WI lie He
agonized they slept This agony lie only
could endure, and it was all for me How
meekly we should bear our greatest triGls,
which are so small when compared W, h His
! Oh Cor. iv, 1918.
LESSON NI.-Jesus Before the High Priest
Mark xiv, $500. Golden text, lisa lii, 3,
He is despised and rejected of men,"
Meekly submitting to be bound aud led
away, He patiently endures this Il lckery
of trial, falsely accused of many hings,
but guilty of nothing Silent becau 10 there
was nothing to answer, until He was point
eddy asked, Art thou the Christi" to
which He replied, 81 am," and added that
He should yet be seen on the right hand OF
power and glory.
LESSON NII.-Jesus Before Pilatr Mark
XIV, 1-l5) Golden text, Mark XIV, D. But
Jesus yet answered nothing, so thai PLATE
marveed." What anight it was, wi ut tor
ture, and so prolonged His disciples at first
all forsook Him, John afterward returned,
and Peter followed afar off Alone, in COM
muniOn with His Father, He bore it all If
this fellowship was broken because of His
being our sin bearer, as itseems to have been
on the cross when forsaken by God, ow I'M
describably awful His condition was. Let
each one say, "All for me-"
LESSON NIII.-Jesus on the Cros Mark
XIV, 22-37). Golden text, Rom. V, S, While
we were yet sinners Christ died for u.s."
Here is matter enough for whole review,
the center of the whole Bible story His
own self bare our sins in His own body on
the tree" Il Pet. ii, "a. Numbered with
the transgressors, a murderer released be
cause He was sacrificed the great work of
atonement finished Note His seven say
ings on the cross, and remember that this
event was the topic of conversation by Mo
ses and Elijah on the Mount of Transfigura

LESSON IX.--The Resurrection of Jesus
Mark xvi, l-S). Golden text, Luke xiv,
"a, THE Lord is risen indeed And now
we have an Easter lesson in midsummer,
but the great fact of His resurrection, and
ours because of His should be ever before
us. See how the zeal of the women was
misguided because, although it was loving,
it lacked faith, and without faith it is in.
possible to please Him. If we are risen
with Christ, let us set our affections on
things above and live to tell of redemption
through a risen Christ.
LESSON X.-The Walk to Emmaus duke
xiv, 1892. Golden text. Luke xiv, 30,
He opened to us the Scriptures" The
thought of the golden text seems to be the
main one of this lesson. These disciples
were in doubt and darkness because they
did not believe the prophets concerning the
literal death and resurrection of Israel's
Messiah, aud many are in darkness today
because they do not believe the prophets
concerning the return of Christ to sit on
David's throne and reign over the house
of Jacob and over the whole earth and to
restore all things of which the prophets
have spoken.
LESSON XI.-Peter and the Risen Lord
John xxi, 40 Golden text, John xxi,
II, Lord, Thou knowest all things; Thou
knowest that love Thee" We have here
an apparent lack of faith because Of an I'M
seen Lord and a consequent fruitless at
tempt to supply their need in the old way
ere they left all to follow Him. We have
also His loving kindness and gracious pro
vision for their need, with the gentle re-
Duke to Peter. Those whom He calls to
feed His sheep and lambs need have no care
about their own welfare, for He will surely
