would read, Jehovah said to Adonal l. e..
to my Sovereign Lord, the Messiah, the
Son of David. Evidently the jews rec3e-
nized their dilemma. Had they been able
to say that this psalm was not speaking
of Christ it would in a degree have turned
the point of 1.-The question. But as the
case stood they were dumb. Auona Is
one Of the Hebrew names OF COD. Je-
hovah was the name. unpronounceabie by
human lips and expressive OF all that Is
highest and hottest in Him. 1t followed.
therefore, that il Christ is the Son OF Da-
vid He must possess our nature. while II
is equally true that if He could be called
by the inspired psalmist Adonal He must
be divine. That this is not forced inter-
pretation is seen from the Iact that TINS
verse Is quoted by New Testament writ
ers who give it this Interpretation. Acts,
1:34: Cor, 1925; Heb, :13, and other
rassages are decisive upon the p itnt.
why. then, did they not acknow. edge
Christ as the one to whom this prophecy
pointed? He stood before them bearing
every mark of the Messiah as foretcld
by David Clearly He could claim to be
both God and man. They did not ac-
knowledge Him because they could not.
Centuries Of tradition had taught them
that their Messiah was to be appareled In
earthly splendor He was to overturn the
ma lions and to establish the Jewish peo-
ple as the conauerors and rulers of the
world They were held as in a vice by
these traditions This is not the only IN
stance in which tradition has taken prece-
dence of Scripture. 1t is unfortunately
true today. But in every case the result
is error and disaster.

The Great Commandment.

Which is the great commandment in
the law?'' 1t is quite probable that this
question was asked by a sincere student
Of the law. This was a moot question
among the Jews. Our language does not
clearly express the sense Of the original
Greek. The meaning Of the Greek is:
Which kind OF command is great In the
law? The scribes taught that there were
24S affirmative precepts, as many as the
members of the human body, and 365
negative precepts, as many as there are
days in the year: the total being 613, the
number Of the letters in the Decalogue
CT these they called some light and sume
heavy. When men lose the spiritual they
are almost sure to give themselves to
senseless quibbling concerning unim-
nortant thinrs.. As Farrar says: 1.-THE
schools had spun large ac-
wortn:ess subtleties all
number OF precepts and prohibitions they
concluded that all could not be Of equal
Importance. Hence the question Of the
lawyer was one that was frequently dis
cussed among them.
Mark says O2:28). One Of the scribes
came and having heard them reasoning
= eether and perceiving that He had an
swered them WELL asked Him, Which is
eIst NJ, ne ret Of all? In other
mandment moral or ceremonial pre-
cept? Our Lord admits that the COM
mandments differ in importance. He in
stances two which are supreme. The first
vs. the treat commandment. AS given in
Mark. 1t says: 'Hear, o Israel. the Lord
our God Is one Lord. And thou shalt love
the Lord thy God with all thy heart and
