dermining the faith of the people by
telling them that the Bible is not Di-
vinely inspired. that Moses and the
Prophets did not write the books as
cribed to them, and hence indirectly
saying that Jesus and the Apostles
were deceived when they made quota
tions from the Old Testament and as
cribed them to Isaiah, Jeremiah, Moses
Habakkuk, etc. These great men
style themselves Higher Critics aud
endorses the theory Of Evolution. that
humanity is undergoing a process OF
evolution from monkey likeness up to
God-likeness. They are thus indi-
rectly telling their people that there
was no fall from Gods image and
likenes, that there was no sin COM
mitted, no sentence for sin, no Re
deemer from sin and its sentence and
that restitution is not 10 be hoped
for nor to be desired.-Acts III, 1921.
Surely the Great Teachers advice
not TO follow blind leaders was never
more needed than IN our day. Blessed
will they be who heed the warning and
by Il will be guided back to a more
thorough study OF the words OF the
GltdA cdNutls Allo AlOoNlNe dAu eA5
Prophets.
Humility a Character Foundation.
The parable OF a man with beam
in his own eye trying to pick mote
out Of his brothers eye was force
ful method whereby the Master In
culcated the necessity Of humility on
the part Of those who would be taught
Of God. Humility Is here as else
where put as foundation virtue, The
Latin word for humility is humus,
ground. This implies that Il Is the
soil out Of which other virtues are
produced. Those who think they
know everything can learn nothing.
AS Chalmers has said, "The more a
man does examine, the more does he
discover the infirmites OF his own
character" As Wheatley remarked,
"Ten thousand Of the greatest faults
i'm our neighbors are OF less conee-
auence to us than one Of the smallest
in ourselves" A knowledge OF our
sins and imperfections should make
and keep all humanity humble, but
how beautiful It is TO realize that the
perfect Jesus was humble and that
I all the holy angels are so!
Grapes on a Bramble Bush.
While the Scriptures forbid Gods
people to Judge one another they DO
commend 10 us another kind OF 5udg-
ing. We are not 10 Judge IN the sense
of condemning, sentencing, etc, those
who claim 10 be honest sincere rev.
erential, merely because they differ
from what we would expect; God
knows their hearts and 10 his own
Master each servant must stand or
fall eventually. But whilo not con-
demning the heart we are 70 Judge
Of the outward conduct. The parable
which our Lord in this lesson gives
respecting the gathering Of grapes
from bramhle bushes illustrates this
point.

is in full tune with its opening verse.
IIr the first parable the blind who
trust to the leadership of the blind
fall into the ditch. In the parable
now before us the picture is that of a
householder. II he be wise he will
not build upon the shifting sands,
which either a wind storm or rain
storm may undermine, and cause
wreck, but he will seek a solid, rock
foundation which viii endure the
storm.
This parable illustrates two classes
Of believers. Both hear the Great
Teachers instructions and both be-
lieve and rear faith structures and en-
tertain heavenly hopes. But one is
more prudent, more careful than the
other. One seeks for the doctrines
and principles Of the Divine Word, and
builds his faith structure upon that
true foundation which the Divine Re-
velation affords. His faith cannot
fail whatever storms may assail it is
surely founded on the Divine promises.
The unwise believer takes too much
for granted and builds upon the ira
ditors OF the elders the creeds Of the
Dark Ages. etc. He fails to appre-
ciate the necessity for having a pro-
per foundation for his faith and his
works. In the time Of stress and
storm with which this Age viii end
all such will find the foundation
swept from under their faith struc-
ture. There will he a general fall
Of Babylon. as the Scriptures declare
everything not well founded upon
the sure Word of God will give way,
THAT day shall declare il" St Paul
mentions the same class and applies
the lesson specially to our day in his
letter to the Corinthians. Those whose
faith structure will fail will thereby
suffer great loss. though themselves
may be saved as by fre-through
great tribulation.--l Corinthians iii,
1915.

In todays' lesson the Great Teacher
emphases the necessity of knowl-
edge and not faith built thereupon.
The blind leading the blind represent
the ignorant leading the ignorant into
difficulties, into the ditch. In the
mental blindness of the past many
Christians assumed that the Master
here taught that the blind leaders and
the blind followers of our day would
all fall into the pit of eternal tor
ment, but not so. The thought is that
they will stumble and experience in
jury instead Of reaching the desired
destination.
The destination sought by the Jews
was fellowship with and relationship
to God His highest favor mentioned
to Abraham, saying. "In thy Seed shall
all the families of the earth be bless
ed" St. Paul says of that promise,
Israel hath not obtained that which
he seeketh but the election hath OBJ
tanned IL and the rest we're blinded.
(Romans xi, ~ The entire Jewish
race was blinded and turned aside and
fell into the pit-into confusion, dark
ness, separation from God. This was
the very matter against which Jesus
forewarned them. They were follow
ing the lead of the Scribes and Phari-
sees and Doctors of the Law. all Of
whom were blind leaders who misled
their TOO trusting followers. The dis
ciple OF follower will not fare bet

teacher: he cannot hope for better re-
suits than his leader.
