arus class, composed chiefly of Gen
tiles, had as it's nucleus "the outcasts
OF 1sraer'-the publicans and sinners,
who heard the gospel message gladly
but whom the scribes and pharisees
rejected, disfellowshipped and put out
OF the synagogues.
The parable pictures great change
| in this Lazarus class-they died to the
conditions wherein they then were.
! They ceased to be the poor beggars,
aliens and strangers, sin-sick, weary
and hungry. But Lazarus was not
buried, as was the rich man; "he was
carried by the angels" to the bosom OF
Abraham. The angels were the Apost-
les and ministers of the gospel-speci-
ally st. Peter and st. Paul. These de-
clared to the gentiles that whereas
once they were "aliens, strangers and
foreigners to the commonwealth of
Israeli they were now brought nigh"
through faith in the Lord Jesus and the
begetting of the Holy Spirit.
Abraham typified God, the father of
the faithful. and the carrying of Laza-
rus to "Abraham's> bosom" symbol
cally said that the outcasts of Israel
and the worthy gentiles became chill
dren of God children of Abraham, who
typifed God. Thus also wrote the
apostle, Eye are brought nigh through
the blood of Christ" IF We be Christ's
then are We Abrahams seed, and heirs
according to the PROMISE that "all the
families of the earth shall be blessed
by this seed of Abraham. Thus st.
Paul wrote, Israel hath not obtained
that which he seeketh, but the elect
obtained it, and the rest were blinded"
and wrath came upon that people to
the uttermost.
The Jew in his misery has beheld
with jealous eye the favor of God to-
ward those whom he despised. He has
even humbled himself to ask that relief
might be sent to him through Christ
ian gentiIes-even "one drop of re-
freshmen. But no relief will be af-
forded until the end Of this age-until
the Messianic Kingdom shall be es-
tablished: and then Israel (both dead
and living) shall obtain mercy through
the elect.-Rom. XII 81, 3d.

Not all the poor are to be blessed
and to inherit the kingdom of God,
ETC., as set forth in this lesson. We
are to notice particularly the setting
Of the masters words. He lifted up his
eyes on his disciples and said, "Bless-
ed are ye poor, for yours is the king
dom of God"-"ye shall be filed
'syour reward Is great in heaven: I'm
doubtedlx poverty is greater aid to
discipleship than wealth. The cost of
discipleship is the surrender of every

footsteps. ,r 49, ,.s.
"WIthout Para BILE Spake He Not"
The second part of our lesson is one
Of our Lords most striking parallels.
We read that he opened his mouth in
parallels and dark sayings "that hear
ing, they might hear and not under
stand" OF all our Lords parallels this
one has been most seriously misun-
derstood. Only slight Investigation,
however, is necessary to demonstrate
that this is a parable-that it would
be unreasonable to consider it to be
a statement of liberal facts. 1t would
be unreasonable to suppose that
man would be sent after death, to
ent life he Jared sumptuously every
day and wore purple and fine linen.
Nothing whatever Is said about the
character of the man, and we are not
permitted to add to the word of God.
The Rich Man represents class.
Similarly the poor man must have
symbolized a class, because no reason
is given for his blessing after death
except that he was poor, covered
with sores and lay at the rich mans
gate eating his crumbs.
Considered as a parable this is one
of the most interesting and helpful
of all our Lords utterances. The Rich
Man represents the Jewish nation,
highly favored of God. The bountiful
table represents the rich promises of
the Law and the Prophets, which
were theirs alone up to the time that
they nationally died to those favors.
The Rich Mans purple represents
royalty-the fact that they were Gods
typical kingdom.
David and Saul sat upon the throne
of the kingdom of the Lord and when
the kingdom was removed in the days
Of Zedekiah the declaration was made
that 1t would afterward be restored,

farm which, with a little additional
expense in clearing, will produce as

wouldn't it? And when your Fruit
Belt farm is developed in Fruit and

times as much as the Corn Belt
farm does in corn then it becomes
the best land investment possible.
THAT FRUIT BELT FARM IS IN

was swept into victory that carried
