LESSON XIII, SECOND QUARTER. INTER-
NATIONAL SERIES, JUNE 20.

LESSON l.-JeSuS VISITS Tyre anu ol-
don Mark vii, 24-3O. Golden Text,
Heb. XII, q, without faith it is impOs-
sble to please Him." A demon pos
sessed girl and a deaf and dumb man
healed are the great events Of this les
son, but the Golden Text refers mainly
to the first We cannot but associate
great faith of the centurion Matt. viii,
100 and contrast it with the little faith
of the disciples Matt. viii. 26; xvi, 81.
LESSON II.-Peter confesses the
Christ Mark viii, 27-3S). Golden Text
Matt. xvi, IL, Thou art the Christ,
the Son of the living God" The Old
Testament proclaims suffering Mes
siah, and when our Lord expounded
the Scriptures to the perplexed ones
after His death He said, fought not
Christ to have suffered these things"
luke xiv, 25-27D But when in this
lesson He spoke of His sufferings Pc
ter, not knowing the Scriptures, said
ii must not be-
LESSON Ill. - Jesus TRANSPORTED
Mark tx, 2-13). Golden Text, Mark tx,
Z: IA voice came out of the cloud, say
ing: This is My beloved Son. Hear
Him" Only as we by faith see the
glory Of His kingdom can we endure
patiently in the daily denial of self
and in the conflict with the powers of
darkness. Like Abraham and Moses
and Paul and Christ Himself, we must
be much occupied with the glory (Heb.
xi, 10, 20; xii, =; Rom. viii, 49,.
LESSON IN.-The mission of the sew
enty duke Y, 1-16). Golden Text, Luke
X, =, Pray We therefore the Lord of the
harvest, that He would send forth la
borerS into His harvest" They went
forth before His face TO prepare His
way, and they went preaching peace,
and yet as lambs among wolves. The
world still lieth in the evil one, the
wolves still abound. He will come
again soon, and we are here to prepare
His way
LESSON V.-Prayer and promise luke
Xxi, 1-l3). Golden Text, Luke xi, 8,
ASK, and it shall be given you; seek,
and We shall find" To know our Fa-
! Their is TO trust Him (Ps. tx, 10) and
also to be strong to do dan. xi, 80.
| To know Him means delight in His
service, His will, His way.
LESSON tchfulness-temper-
ance lesson duke xii, 35-4S). Golden
Text, Luke xii 81, Blessed are those
servants whom the Lord when He COM
! Oh, ind
turn TO God from idols and become re-
deemed by the precious blood of Christ
it is that we may serve the living and
! true God and wait for His Son from
heaven Il Thess. /, o, 10).
LESSON NII.-The prodigal son duke
XIV, 11-2D. Golden Text, Hos. vi, /,
Come and let us return unto the
Lord" This chapter must always be
studied as Il whole to set forth on the
one hand the love Of God, the Father,
Son and Holy Spirit, and on the other
the waywardness, the Indifference and
the selfshness of sinners. The wonder
full love of God is most beautifully seen
in the welcome given to the erring son
and also in the fathers word to the
elder brother.
LESSON VIII.-Jesus teaches humility
! Mark X, 3j-45) Golden Text. Mark X,
40, For even the Son of Man came not
to be minstered unto, but to minister"
| In Lesson V. we were taught to ask
and receive, to ask UNFORTUNATELY, but
here is some asking amiss, and that on
the part OF two of the inner circle of
disciples. One has said that service is
| true ruling and humility is true great
ness; be humble if you would be great;
be faithful If you would be rewarded.
LESSON IX.-The passover Matt
XVI 1890. Golden Text, | Cor. ",
Z, For even Christ, our Passover, is
sacrificed for us" In His life Of hui
initiation every item was prepared for
Him, and He accepted all as from His
Father. 1t was all written before
hand. and He fulfilled all. From His
baptism onward it was prolonged suf-
fering. suffer it to be so now" would
seem to cover all. Being effectually
sheltered by His precious blood, we
must eat Him continually John vi, 80
not disdainlng bitter herbs nor un
leavened bread, showing His death till
He come
LESSON X.-Christ's trial before Pi
late Mark XIV, 1-15). Golden Text
Luke xiii, 4, "Then said PLATE to the
chief priests and TO the people, | find
no fault in this man" Having but
one lesson on His trial and accompany
ing events, all must be if possible in
cuded Note His face steadfastly set
then note all He suffered from His OWL
as well as from His enemies, the Jews
and from the gentiles who cared not.
LESSON XI.-Christ crucified (Marb
XIV. 22-39). Golden Text, | Cor. XIV, 3
Christ died for our sins according tC
the Scriptures" He who knew no sill
was made sin for us, delivered for ouI
offenses. wounded for our transgres

~. Around the cross we see every
phase OF humanity, and the carna
mind is fully shown to be enmity
against God, but on the cross we see
the love OF God as nowhere else.
