FINAL WORDS. The words and
| DEEDS OF Jesus are alike marvelous-one dis
both wisdom and power proving Him to be
| divine. 1t was the confession of Nicodemus
| that His miracles attested His divinity
SJohn ili:2). and of the Roman soldiers that
| HIS wisdom was superhuman John, vii :4G).
| 1t is not strange, therefore, that Peter rec
! oesnized the exalted character of his master
| as they were together so intimately related
| or that Jesus, en- the mountain revealed
| His true nature to the three w. tnesses And
| when His divinity was understood Ii was
| natural for Hin 10 begin to declare His
| sUfferings and death.

124. In telling the young man how to OBJ
tain eternal life why did not Jesus require
| Sabbath observance?
Answer. He did. The passage Matt.
xix:16-19) shows that at first he enjoined
| ali the commandments Sabbath keeping in
| cluded. Thinking that less than all might
| be Sufi1cient the young man asked which.
| Jesus then mentioned those commands that
! pertain to mans relation to his fellow man
! the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and fifth
| In that order. adding the summary of neigh
! borly love (Lev., Xix:1S) and emitting those
! commands that pertain to states of the
| heart, the first, second third fourth and
| tenth. Evidently our Lord intended in His
| second reply did not recall His first state
| IilcHl-lIldl ne could not consistently
| eMatt., Wis., do, but to show lis visitor
| that he was defective when tried by part
| of the law, that part which covered his
| boosted morality. 1t should be noted that
| the young man, like many now, expected to
| gain eternal life by conduct Jesus showed
| that the outer life proceeds from inward
conditions. and proposed discipleship.
125. Are there infants in hell span long
as some say?
Answer Who said so? Theologians have
been strangely slandered Matt, xix:14
126. What reward did men receive who
prayed on street corners Matt, vi:5), as
| mentioned by Jesus?
Answer. The reward they sought-the no
| toriety caused by their display, the opinion
| of those who saw them and thought them
very religious and, therefore, worthy of re-
| spect; a cheap method of gaining favor at
| a time when forms were esteemed more
| than spirituality.
