THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.

Text Of the Lesson, Comprehensive
Quarterly Revisw-Golden Text, Matt.
", 17-conrnentary Prepared by Rev.
.. NJ. stsarns.
LESSON 1.-The appearances of the
risen Lord, I Cor. XIV, Iii. Golden
Text, Acts Ii, 80, '@This Jesus hath God
raised up, whereof we r all wit
nesses." Always emphasize the Cos
pei as set forth In this lesson and re-
member that everything depends on
q risen living Christ, the same Jesus
who lived on earth as a poor man,
now at the right hand Of God in the
place Of all power and still a real
man, the Son OF Man, waiting for the
time to return and bring Ills kingdom,
LESSON 1.-THE use Of the Sabbath,
Mark ii, % to iii, 6. Golden Text,
Mark ii, q, '"The Sabbath was made
for man and not man for the Sab
bath" Consider the daring pride Of
man in judging the Lord Of the Sab
bath for using his own Sabbath, but
they knew Him not and judged Him to
be a mere man Ike themselves, yet a
great teacher. He made 10 manifest
their hypocrisy and formallty and re-
ligious pride that they determined to
kill Him.
LESSON III.-The appointment Of the
twelve, Mark iii, Tie. Golden Text,
John XIV, 16, r. ", aye did not choose
me, but I chose you and appointed you,
that ye should go and bear fruit"
Mark the words, unto Him, with
Him, that He might send them forth
to preach and to have power" verses
1915. He Himself is the great and
only center, and apart from Him there
is no fruit nor service nor anything
worth mentioning.
LESSON ". - The beatitudes, Matt.
v, 1-12. Golden Text, Matt. v, 8,
BLESSED are the pure in heart, for they
shall see God" What q blessed time
1t VIII be on the whole earth when the
principles Of this sermon are lived Quit
Meanwhile, as heirs of the kingdom,
we should manifest these principles in
u daily life, true poverty Of spirit
being the foundation of all, such a self
remuneration that he may be seen in US.
LESSON V.-Poverty and riches, Luke
vi, 20-26; xvi, 1881. Golden Text,
Luke xii, Is, IA mans life consistent
not in the abundance of the things
which he p~ossesseth." This is part OF
a discourse similar to the Sermon on
the Mount and illustrated by the story
OF the rich man and Lazarus. There
Is no life apart from Christ, and true
riches are found only In Him.
LESSON VI.-The law Of love, Luke
vi, 27-3s; Rom. xiii, $40. Golden Text,
Rom. Kill, 8, "Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as myself" In / Cor. xiii,
we are taught that without love
nothing counts, not sven giving away
all we have, and our bodies to be
burned. The only pattern Of love is
the love OF God in Christ, and He, ex-
poets US to love others as He loves U.s..
LESSON VII.-The old law and the
new life, Matt v, 1926. Golden Text,
Rom. xiii, 8, r. ", "He that Ioveth
his neighbor hath fulfilled the law"
The law Of God is holy and just and
good, but because 1t is so perfectly
holy no mere man can keep 1t, and the
one thing it does for us is to shut our
mouths and bring us all in guilty be-
fore God, and then we are ready to re-
ceive the righteousness Of God as q
free gift.
LESSON vIII.-Truthfulness, Matt. Y,
1897; Jas. Iii, ZIP; v, u. Golden
Text, Eph. iv, IS, r. ", Putting away
f~alsehood, speak We truth each with
his neighbor, for we are members n
of another" The tongue is not u
chief trouble, but the power back of
1t, and when it is set IN fire of hell
GAS. Ill, 81 it does give a sample Of
hell ON earth. Let the Prince Of Peace.
the Lord Of Glory, control it, and all
will be well.
LESSON IX.-Hypocrisy and sincerity,
Matt vi, 1-18. Golden Text, Matt. vi,
1, r. w.. @ETake heed that ye do not
your righteousness before men, to be
seen Of them, else We have no reward
with your Father who Is in heaven"
The word to Abraham Is still In force
II am the mighty God, all suficientt
walk before me and be sincere" Gen.
xvii, u. Not as pleasing men, but God,
must be u motto q Thess. ii, ~.
LESSON X.-Hearing and doing, Luke
vi, 3049. Golden Text, JAS. i, %,
"Be We doors of the word and not
hearers only, deceiving your own
selves" All who truly receive Christ
are saved fully, freely and forever by
His finished work, and that alone, but
all such must prove before men the
reality of the new life by walking in
the good works prepared by God for
them CHph. II. 1oj Tit ILL., 81.
LESSON XI.-Chrlstts witness to John
the Baptist, Matt. Xxi, 2-19. Golden
Text, Luke vii %, b. ", among
them that are born of wome there Is
none greater than John, yet he that Is
but little In the kingdom Of God Is
greater than he" When the kingdom
comes the least in his glortfied body
shall be greater than John was in his
mortal body, and John himself will be
greater than ever before.
LnssoN XIT-The penftent woman,
Luke vii, $3.50. Golden Text I Tim /
is, r. VI, Faithful Is the saying, and
worthy OF an acceptation, that Christ
Jesus came into the world to save
sinners" Even such as she was can
Gnd a place In His kingdom, but such
