Eating With Unwashed Hands.
In this lesson the Pharisees inquired
why the followers of Jesus were not
instructed along the lines of the Tai
mud-to be very careful to always
wash their hands before eating, as a
religious duty.
Answering the Pharisees on these
points, Jesus said TO them, You are
the holy people mentioned by Isaiah
the Prophet, saying, This people seek.
eth Me with their lips, but their heart
is far from Me. But In vain do ye
worship Me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men,"
Jesus gave them an example of how
they neglected the Divine command
ments while giving so much attention
to ceremonial washings, commanded,
not of God. but of the Talmud: The
Mosaic Law commanded that father
and mother should be honored and that
he that spoke evil of either should be
put to death. But this command had
been changed by the Talmud and any
man might be free from his parents
by consecrating himself and substance
TO God and religious uses. Having
done so, according to the Talmud, he
was freed from all obligations to his
parents. Thus they had made Gods
direct commandment null and void.
This was the conflict between the
teachings of Jesus and Of the Phari-
sees. Both claimed holiness and strict
observance of the Divine Law, but
Jesus held to the Word of God and re-
jected the Talmud, the traditions of
the Elders, and the Pharisees neglect
ed the Word of God and held to the
traditions. What are we as Christians
doing today? LET us hold fast the
faithful Word" ''The Word of God,
which Is able to make us wise" Let
us search the Scriptures daily and
critically, and abandon everything
which conflicts Herewith.
What Is Gods kinadom?
Our text Is frequently misunderstood
to mean that Gods Kingdom consists
In righteousness and peace and JOY in
the Holy Spirit. The context shows
that this is entirely a wrong thought.
Let US see:
Let us bear in mind what we have
already seen respecting the Kingdom
mentioned In the Bble-that 1t is the

Walking on the Sea.

boat. They cried out, for all saw 1t,

loaves and two fishes.
In addition to seeing In this a further
manifestation of Divine power, we
may see spiritual lesson. After
the Masters ascension, the disciples
were alone In the midst of con

difficult. This helped them to remem-
