 The lessons for thls s-arte. 6S long for the most part to tho year 2S, known as the year of popularity. ue ginning with the great Easter lesson there is set forth the fact, certainty. and meaning of the resurrection cf .our Lord. by which was demonstrated his sfulnlling of the purpOse of God 10th in lis own lifs and n his woek upon the croEs whSreby was made possible the establishment of the new Kingdom. Several of these lessons are taken from his manifesto e show us the application of the law which he came to i'll full with . newer and 2 richer meaning. Speaking of the Ideal { Sabbath as cOntrasted with that pre- sented by the religious teachers of the day, Jesus uses the illustration of healing and also the plucking of grain to show us that man Is of moro value than the ceremonial observance of the law. Jesus proceeds in the third les son to choose and set apart those who shall share with him in the es- tablishing of this new kingdom.
 In the fourth lesson Jesus depicts the character necessary for those who shah share with him in tho fulfilling of Gods purposes in this kingdom. The blessings of poverty and the danger of riches form the subject mat ter of the ffth lesson wherein we are taught . full revelation concerning lie and its true substance.
 Key to situatIon.
 The sixth lesson has to do with love as the secret of the fulfillment of all that is required. of all that has been already stated. or that may hereafter arise. In this lesson by a set of skilful questions Jesus ask: and answers the fundamental princi pies of this law of love. So deer does he build and 90 high does ! reach that we are compelled to, ex claim, Who is sufficient" And SC 1t is that the seventh lesson logically follows the sixth, for in this we finG the key to the whole situation. Begin ming with the verse that forms the golden text for today, Jesus goes on to show us that what is impossible with man Is possible with God. That while the law is fmmutable and its penalties therefore still in force, thst he, Jesus. Is the one and only one who keeps the law outwardly and at the same time its spirit and intent as well; hence we have in him and his righteousness all that iss essential.
 The eighth lesson still further car ries out this teaching by showing us the fact that in the constant corl- sciousness of God there lies power that will enable men. Independent of oaths. m simple truth to fulfill all the requirements of truth.
 The ninth lesson is one of the prac- tical applications of these principles which Jesus has been setting forth. The ancient high priest with the bells and pomeeranates upon his garment carried as much fruit as noise into the holy place So Jesus, this new high priest teaches us that thongh we are justified in the sight Of God by our faith we demonstrate that faith in the sight of men by our notions toward those about us.
 II we are truly and properly spirit ually related to him our aims and prayers and fasting will not be for the purpose of attracting the attention of men but each disciple will be as his master who sought only to glorify the Father This is the man who builds upon solid ground and whose house stands amid the breaking storm rather than the one whose house not 20 founded goes tc pieces amid the storm. This Is the tenth lesson
 Dominant kotes.
 Following these lessons upon the Kingdom Jesus Is shown in the eleventh lesson as depicting John the Baptiet's place and significance as the forerunner of himself and because Of that position as being the exalted among those born of women yet he who in humbleness Is little shall he greater even than John, John repre-. sented the end of the old and Jesus the beginning of the rev
 The last lesson affords us Rignifi- cant view. a radiant revelation. of the compassion and ct the same time the merciIessly keen discernment Of Jesus.
