THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS.
The more important teachings of
the past quarters study may be brief
ly recalled in the order of the lessons:
Lesson 1.-The Beatitudes-M Matt. 4:2J-
|5:le. Recall the several bcatitudus. and
note that they indicate the way of happi-
ness (blessedness) as pointed out by Jesus.
Lesson II.-Precepts and Promises-M
,l-4. Jesus warns against CcnsoriOus.' '.8 :
in judging others: teaches that prayc, is
merely asking seeking and knocking. and
God always answers; gives us the golden
rule of conduct; and finally declares very
plainly that entrance into the kingdom Of
Heaven Is not easy, but requires effort, for
strait narrow Is the gate and narrow the
way which leadeth unto life.
Lesson 111-The Daughter of Jairus
Rased-Mark 5:22-2i; 35-i2. "Thc Glmsal
is not dead, but sleepeth." The event is
typical of Jesus own death and resurruc-
ton later, and gives to man the comfort
ing assurance that death does not end all.
but that we shall rise to a new and better
life.
Lesson 1v.-The Centurion's Servant
|iealed.-Luke lilo. Jesus lays in the text
Of this lesson a commanding emphasis on
the centurion's faith and commends it as
Ian example to the world. This incident
|also let's the bars down for the preaching
p the Gospel to the Gentiles.
Lesson V.-Jesus and John the Baptist
(uke 7:lS-2S. by their fruits ye shall know
hsm-"-Jee.-7y healing the hlind and deaf
PM lame and leprous, raising the dead, and
preaching the Gospel to the poor proves
/ 10 John and the world that lie Is the Mes
siah, the Saviour OF the world.
Lesson VI.-Jesus Warning and Inviting
Matt. 1l:2O-30. There is great danger In
''A'lAb dSdillSl ilSHl. II SIldIl Dt more lb4-
efabe for Tyre and Sidon at the day Of

o. not needing the call of Jesus. "ComD
unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy

lesson Nll.-JeSuS at the PhaTisuc's /

eCuSness IL the pharisee who did not ac.
cord his guest the accustomed kiss, oil lUr

idsiyes the great sinner as readily as q
iesSer one. Note also the reason the sin,
Iu woman was forgiven: "lor she loved
much"
Chapter VIII.-Parablc of the Suwer.-
Matt. l3l-S; and 1873. Note that all the
seed was good seed, but that the result de-
pended upon the character of the soil. Note /
also that where this seed was planted the !
zane sun must have shone and the same

uepth and character of the ground. In
PERSONAL application we know that much .

seed oil the world falls into stony or bar [
zen or good ground.
Shapter lX.-Parables of the Kingdom
Mst' lS:24-33. The seven parallels spoken /
~ thls time are recorded in Matt 10 3:2l-52 /
nu Mark 4:26-35. They include the para |
We OF the tares, OF the mustard seed of the |
..aven, of the hid treasure, of tho pearl |

Fruitful field.
lesson X.-The Twelve Sent Forth-Matt. |
10 10 1913. The harvest is plenteous but !
e iaoorers are few. There Is a great work |
every servant of God to do, and it is |

tli-29. Note Herod's weakness of |
naraeter and how easily he is moved to |
nihit an awful crime. Contrast, also, the |
appy memory and the helpful influence we |
"n' from the life of John as opposed to the
'empt that has come down through all
f'ory for the weak and wicked king.
sson x1I.-The Feeding of the Five
