The Marriage Feast Matt. "a:
LA. Read the whole chapter.
Golden Text--"c Come; tor all things
are now ready Luke "a; II.
Jesus said the Kingdom Of Heaven
is like unto certain king, which
made marriage for his son, and
sent servants to call those who were
invited, and they would not come
He sent other servants to say. "All
things are ready: come to the mar
riage" But those who were called
made light OF it, and some OF them
killed his servants. When the king
heard of it, he was angry, and de-
stroyed the murderers, and burned up
their city.
Then he said to his servants, "The
wedding IS ready, but they which
were hidden were not worthy. Go
ye therefore into the highways, and
as many as We shall find, bid to the
marriage"
So the servants went and gathered
as many as they found, both bad and
good; and the wedding was furnished
with guests.
And when the king came in to see
the guests, he saw there a man who
had not on wedding garment; and
said to him, Friend, how came you
in here without wedding garment"
And the man was speechless. Then
the king said to his servants, Bind
him hand and foot, and take him
away, and cast him into outer dark
ness; there shall be wailiug aud
gnashing of teeth. For many are
called, but few are chosen"
There are many interpretations of
this parable, and each one seeks to
apply it to some one else. But
wouldn't it be well for us to see that
we have accepted the invitation of
our King2 He says, "Come unto
Me. Him that cometh unto Me /
will in no wise cast out" And hav-
ing come to Him, see that we listen
to every call, and have OH the we'd
ding garment which He furnishes;
remembering that our Gown garment
cannot save, no matter how good it
seems to be, and that His Word says,
"All our righteousness are as filthy
rags"
A very definite call that he has
made to all Corners. is this, ''All
power is given unto Me in Heaven
and in earth. Go ye therefore, and
teach all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father. and of the
Son, and OF the Holy Ghost; teaching
them to observe all things whatso-
ever have commanded you: and, 10,
am with you Away. even unto the
end OF the world. Amen"
