LESSON 1.-the Woman of Canaan
(Math. Nv, 2f-3D. Golden Text, Math.
Nv, s5. "Then she came and worshiped
Him, saying. Lord, help me-" 1t would
seem as II our Lord went away from the un-
belief and questionings and reasonings of
the scribes and Pharisees to be refreshed
by the strong and simple faith Of this
Syro- PhBnician woman. Even His disoi-
Piles were not always q comfort TO Him,
for In verse Is He said to them, Are ye
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 by
her.
LESSON 1.-THE Resurrection of Jesus
MARK xvi, 1-S). Golden Text, Cor. XIV,
20, Now Is Christ risen from the dead
and become the first fruits Of them that
slept" The regular lesson for this day In
Math. xvi, 2l-2S, on the sufferings OF
Jesus foretold, would also make q good
Easter lesson, for He foretold His resurrec-
ton as we'll as His sufferings. Neither
benefit apart from His resurrection, as Ia
fully set forth In Cor. XIV, 14-1s:
LESSON III. The TRANSPORTATION
(Math. xvii, 1-9). Golden Text. John 1,
IA, 1--WE beheld His glory, the glory as of
the only begotten of the Father" This
was the fulfillment 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 a
righteous Israel represented by Peter,
James and John.
LESSON IVA Lesson on Forgiveness
(Math. xviii, 2l-35). Golden text Luke
vi, 81, Forgive and we shall be forgiven.
Forgiving one another even as God for
Christ's sake hath forgiven you (Eph. iv,
32) is the way the Spirit states il by Paul.
Peter, to whom our Lord was talking, was
a saved man and a disciple of Christ, and
as such he had been forgiven ALL and
should therefore exercise forgiveness to all,
even to the extent of 10 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 ., "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. E" He lit
orally fulfilled Zech TX, 8, as to the man
ner of His entry. How could they fail to
see itY Here was forgiveness to the utter
most on His part but they knew not the
day of their visitation, so He wept over
them, longing to bless them, and saying
Il would, but ye would not' duke xix,
Ala; Math. xiii, 80.
LESSON VI.-The Marriage Feast Math.
xxi, I'D. Golden text, Luke xiv, H.
Come, for all things are now ready.
Those whom He longed to bless and came
to save would not 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 l have not doneY" lisa. V,
~. lis it nothing TO you all We that pass
by?' (Lam. i, l2).
LESSON VII. -Watchfulness (Math. xiv,
42-5D Golden text, Math xiv, AZ,
Watch therefore, for ye know not what
hour your Lord doth come. just as
plalnly us I1e tduRub lHd1 Ilc WOuiu
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
cupying till He come. He expects TO find
us not only waiting but doing verse 46).
LESSON VIII.-The Day of Judgment
(Math. XIV, 3l-46). Golden text, Math.
xvi, %, "He shall reward every man ac
cording to His works +" Along with this
text 1t would be we'll to place Rev. xxi,
-; Luke xiv, IA; Cor. Iii, IA, 10. I'm
less we distinguish between the judgment
seat of Christ for believers and their works
(Rom. xiv, 10; III Cor. V, l0), the judg-
ment of nations for their treatment of
Israel as set forth in our lesson, and the
Judgment Of the great white throne for all
who do not take part in the first resurrec-
ton REV. Xxx, 8, 11-l5).
Lesson IX.-The Lords Supper (Math.
XVI, 1880. Golden Text, l Cor. Xxi, 20,
LAS often as We eat this bread and drink
this cup, We do show the Lord death till
He come. :" From the exodus until His
own exodus duke tx 81, Creek as the
True Passover Lamb, the Passover was the
great feast commemorative of Israel's de-
liverance from Egypt, and has still flu
ture outlook duke xii, Is, 16), but on
the night before He suffered He took bread
and wine, symbols of His body and blood.
and gave us new feast to be kept in re-
membrance of Him till He shall come
again.
LESSON X.-Jesus Condemned (Math.
xvii, 1920. Golden Text, Tim. l, 10,
Christ Jesus came into the world TO save
sinners" Pilates questions and perplexi-
ties are still the great ones, "Barabbas or
Jesus, and What shall L do with JesusY"
As then so now the majority choose Barab-
bss, and If they ever think of Jesus 1t is
often only to wish that there was not any
such person.
LESSON XI.-Jesus Crucihed (Math.
xvii, 35-5O). Golden Text, Cor. XIV, 3,
Christ died for our sins, according to the
Scriptures. There was no other way by
which atonement could be made. A sinless
man was required and to that end He be-
came a man. Because we are flesh and
blood He took the same Heb. Ii, 14), and
lived In a body like ours, sin excepted, for
over 80 years.
