Kingdom of Heaven class-the Church
in the present ombryotic condition. A
certain king had a reckoning with his
servants, and squared up all accounts
Amongst the others, ono owed him ten
thousand talents. His master com
manded him to be sold. and his wife
and all that he had, until the payment
should be made But the servant fell
down at his masters feet aud bcsOuFht
him TO have compassion on him and he
would pay the debt And the master
had compassion ON him and discontin-
uod any further prosecution ON account
of the debt
The servant thus released went out
and found a fclloW-servant who owed
him an hundred pence. very insignih-
cant sum in comparison to the Cue
which he had owed tho master. He
took his fellow-scrvant by the throat
saying, PAY me the hundred pence

An Important Lesson Here.
What is the lesson? II Is that We
should have compassion upon one an

To learn today's lesson well means
a blessing for life to evory true
Christian. and might be said to ensure
him eternal life-so fully would he
be in accord with the Divine require
ments. The lesson relates specially
to the consecrated. the members of the
Body of Christ, the Church. of which
He is the Head. although application
may be made by others with profit
The Masters rule for His followers
is. If a brother iniure you, go to him
alone with the matter. striving TO
reach an understanding The prob
ability is that misunderstanding is all
that there is of IT, But if this does
not suffice and you consider he mat
ter serious enough. ask two others to
accompany you to the offender, with
out explaining to them the mission
leave their minds free to hear the case
and to advise yourself and the other.
The agreement of these brethren and
their advice should be followed by
both. II they disagree with you. you
should acknowledge that you hav,
erred and that the matter is evidently
susceptible Of this construction. II
they agree with you. and your oppon-
ent refuses to head their counsel anC
persists I'm doing you injury, and you
still think it of sufficient importance
to trouble the Church with the mat
ter. you arc then at liberty so to do
The Church's decision of the question
is to be final binding upon both. The
one refusing to hear the Church is
to be treated as an outsider, not IL
the sense of doing him injury, but alb
staining from appointing to any posi-
| ton, or honor I'm the Church. until his
