TERNATioNAL SERIES, JUNE PC.
A Comprehensive Review of the Quar-
ter's Lessons - Golden Text, Jude
xd-Commentary by the Rev. ID. M
Stearns.
Copyright, 1885, by D. M. Stearns.l
LESSON 1.-The Woman Of Canaan
(Math. XIV, 21-S1). Golden Text, Math.
Nv, 25, "Then she came and worsh1ped
Him, saying, Lord, help me-" 1t would
seem as If our Lord went away from the I'M
belief and questionings and reasonings OF
the scribes and Pharisees to be refreshed
by the strong and simple faith OF tnis
Syro-PhCenician woman. Even HIS olsci-
Piles were not always a comfort to Him,
for in verse 16 He said to them, Are We
also yet without understanding? But he
whose eyes run to and fro throughout the
whole earth to show Himself strong on be-
half of every heart that is wholly for Him
Oh Chron. xvi, 81 saw the faith In the
heart Of this woman and took this long
journey to bless her and be refreshed Dy
her.
LESSON 1.-THE Resurrection OF Jesus
mark xvi, 1-S). Golden Text, Cor XIV,
90, CHOW is Christ risen from the dead
and become the first fruits of them thao
slept The re-. ular lesson for this day IN
Math. xvi, 21-28, on the sutferlngs OF
Jesus foretold, would also make good
Easter lesson, for He foretoId His resurrec-
ton as we'll as His sufferfngs. Neither
His life nor His death can give us any
benefit apart from His resurrection, as Is
fully set forth in Cor. XIV, 14-1s.
LESSON III. - The TRANSPORTATION
(Math. xvii, 1-o). Golden Text, John !,
ia, "we beheld His glory, the glory as OF
of fho Father
was the fulfllment of that which He said
concerning some of them not tasting death
till they had seen the Son of Man coming
in His kingdom. The center OF HIS King
dom will be the risen and translated saints
represented by Moses and Elijah, and
righteous Israel represented by Peter,
James and John.
LESSON IVA Lesson on Forgiveness
(Math. xviii, 1855. Golden text, Luke
vi, 81, "Forgive AM ye shall be forgiven.
Forgiving one another even as God 1or
Chrtst's sake hath forgiven you (Eph. w.
32) is the way the Spirit states it by Paul.
Peter, to whom our Lord was talking, was
q saved man and disciple of Christ, and
as such he had been forgiven all, and
should therefore exercise forgiveness to all,
even to tho extent Of 20 times z, else he
would lose much by it both in the matter
of present fellowship with God and also
future privileges.
LESSON V.-The Triumphal Entry
(Math. xxi, 6-16). Golden text, Math-
xxi, 9, ''Hosanna to the Son Of David.
Blessed is He that cometh in the name OF
the Lord This might be called His last
public offer of Himself to Israel as her
King. He fulfilled the Scripture which
saith, "Behold, thy King cometh. He lit
orally fulfilled Zech. tx, 9, as to the man
ner of His entry. How could they fall to
see it? Here was forgiveness to the utter
most on His part, but they knew not the
day of their ~xisi tation, SO He wept over
them, longing to- bless them, and saying,
"I would, but y's would not" duke XIX,
Ala; Math. xxidi, 80.
Lesson VI.-Iche Marriage Feast (Math.
xii, 1-14). Golden text, Luke xiv, IL,
"O0me, for all things are now ready. !"
Those whom He longed to bless and came
to save would n OF receive Him, made light
of His Invitations and even slew His serv-
ants Yet He had pity upon them and
loved them and laid down His life for
them and asks, "What could have been
done more that I have not done?" (Isa V,
~. Ills it nothing to you all ye that pass
by?'" (Lam. i, 12).
LESSON VII~WatchEulDe (Math. xiv,
1850. Golden text, Math. xiv, AZ,
watch therefore, for ye know not what
hour your Lord doth come" Just as
plainly as He taught that He would die
and rise again from the dead, SO did he
also teach that He would come again when
not expected, and that all who were wise
would be looking for Him any hour, but
at work up to the, time of His return, oc-
cupytng till He CO me. He expects to hnd
us not only waiting, but doing (verse 46).
LESSON VIII.-The Day of Judgment
CMath. XIV, S1-4tO. Golden text, Math.
xvi, 81, "He shall reward every man ac-
cording to His works. Along with this
text 1t would be well to place Rev. xii,
IL; Luke xiv, 1AS I Cor. Iii, IA, 10. In
less we distinguish between the Judgment
seat of Christ for b elievers and their wor s
(Rom. xiv, 10; II Cor. V, 10Y, the judg-
ynent of nations for their treatment OF
Israel, as set forth in our lesson, and the
Judgment of the gre at white throne for all
who do not take pan in the first resurrec-
ton (Rev. Xxx, 5, 11~15).
LESSON IX.-The Lords Supper (Math.
XVI, 1880. Golden Text, Cor. xi, 26,
Gas often as ye eat this bread and drink
this cup, ye do show the Lords death till
He come" From the exodus until His
own exodus duke tx, 81. Greek) as the
True Passover Lamtk this Passover was the
great feast common orative of 1srael's de-
1iverance from Egypt and has still 1u-
ture outlook duke xxi, 10, 16), but on
the night before He Uttered He took bread
and wine, symbols of His body and blood,
and gave us new fe asst to be kept in re-
memDrance OF him CllI ne sHshlA coAuo
again.
LESSON X-Jesus Condemned (Math.
xvii, 1926. Golde Text, Tim. i, 10,
"Christ Jesus came nto the world to save
sinners" Pilates qu estions and perplexi-
ties are still the grea ones, ''Bal,abbas or
Jesus" and 'What S hall do with Jesus?"
AS then SO now the n Majority choose BaraD-
has, and if they ever. think of Jesus 1t Is
often only to wish tIaat there was not any
such person.
LESSON XI.-Jes US Crucifed (Mat1.
xvii, $500. Goldam Text, Cor. XIV, 3,
"Chrtst died for our sins, according to the
Scriptures" There was no other way by
which atonement COT aid be made. A sinless
man was required and to that end He be-
came q man. Because we are flesh and
blood He took the same (Heb. ii, 14), and
lived in body like ours, sin excepted, for
over 30 years.
LESSON XIL-The Risen Lord Math.
xviii, 500. Golden Text, Rev. i, Is, 81
