DIR. w. r. Covers, under whom DR..
Jameson, the leader in the recent South
African raid into the Boer territory
studied, writes thus of his pupil Jane
son was characterized by quiet manner,
quick recognition of facts and steady,
hard work. Whatever he did he did
we'll and gained distinction in every class
which he had to attend but he never
went step out OF the way to gain
special honors. He was not man to
make many friends but those he did
make were close ones. AS student
and officer of the hospital no one could
be more free from the least indication of
self assertion to those above him, and to
his equals the strength of his own opin-
ions and the tenacity with which he
held them we're conspicuous feature
more conspicuous in expression than.
probably, they were in fact"
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-04-11

Their; he pleaded his own unworthiness
to take sons place in his fathers re-
gard.
Then right royalty did the father show
his fatherhood. He sent for the best
robe of his wardrobe, to cover his rags.
He gave to him ring, with its signet
and seal. comforting on him thus his
own authority. He brought for his bare
feet, not sandals. such as hired workmen
wear, but shoes as the sign of his SON.
ship. Then he commanded that the
fatted calf, always kept ready for an un-
expected guest, be Immediately prepared
for a family merry making. The rea-
son for this ravishing thanksgiving feast
he stated to those receiving his hurried
orders: This mig SON aUds dead. and is
alive again; he aoas lost and is found.
Here the story of our lesson passage
concludes. But unless we follow the
story to the end we shall miss one OF its
important applications. The older
brother in due time returned from the
field. He was surprised to find signs of
a merry making in his home. And when
he from servant learned it's cause, he
was angry. He would not go in. His
father came out and entreated him, be-
seeching his selfish son to be generous
In that elder brother the Pharisees
and scribes. who sneeringly condemned
Jesus for being a friend to publicans
and sinners, saw their own likeness.

INTRODUCTION.

No Parable in the Bible is so widely
known and highly valued as that OF the
Prodigal Son. The literature OF the
world, according to the popular est
mate, does not afford its equal. 1t has
been called the epitome of the Gospel.
1t is the simplest theoretical solution OF
the problem of sin and redemption. 1t
is also the profoundest. 1t contains the
plainest implication Of Gods Eternal
Fatherhood. and his ceaseless yearning
for his wandering children. 1t assumes
human natures inalienable childhood'to
the Father, and it's inevitable dissatis.
faction away from him. 1t show that
when sinner comes to himself, he, by
moral compulsion, comes to the Father.
It pictures the reception the Father
waits to give every repentant soul
Let not our familiarity with the
parable veil its significance. For our
own good and for that of our scholars,
let us freshen its undying meaning
and give it new out Of our own hearts.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-04-11
TEACHING POINTS.

INrRoDUCTIoN.-Thes story teaches the eter-
nal FatherhOOd of God, the inalenable sOnship
Of humanity; yet it is well to note that the i'm
mediate purpose of Jesus in uttering it was to
rebuke the uDfraternity and bigOtry of the
sneering Pharisees and scribes.
~ V.11-13 The younger son leaves his
home. He had good home, good father, an
excellent elder brother. But he became FESTIVE
under home restraints. He did not, as we think
deliberately intend TO so morally astray; but he
wished to see the world. Leaving home is a far
more serious thing than this self-confident young
man thought.
(2.) V. 1919. He learns what the world, in
ITSELF really is. In the foreign luxurious city he
made his money fly. He tried to be as fast as
the fastest He shut out all thought of the NOR.
row. He soon reached the end of his rope. Soon
he could not even borrow. Then the famine
came on. His fine clothes became frayed and
ragged. He began to feel hunger. He solicited
the very teamwork he once hated. He became
a swineherd; his consuming hunger caused him
to eat with his swine. Then he desired to be a
hired servant on his fathers farm. He knew
that he had, by his folly. his heartlessness, his
manifold crimes, justly forfeited his rights of
sonship.
81 V. 1924. He is by his father welcomed
home. The father was on the watch for his re-
turn. He saw the young man going YEARLY and
slowly toward the barns He ran to him, and
fell on his neck and kissed him again and again.
He cared nothing for the mere formalities of the
young mans repentance. He has not ceased to
be father to him.-The elder brother, let us
confess, had real ground of complaint against
his reckless younger brother; he was just his
father besought OF him to be generous.
This story In its spiritual meaning, enfolds
the beholding angels in heaven and the eternal
Providence of the Father.
1t does not make light of sin. The young
man had, let us be sure, made enduring stains
on his character; he was self-compelled to reap
lifelong harvest of pain-giving regrets.
A combination of hat is good In tt char
acter of the two brothers would make the right
life.
