daughter moved her to press her case
and she answered. Yea, Lord, but
the dogs eat of the children's crum bs y
Jesus replied, For this saying go thy
way; the devil is gone out of thy
daughter" She got the crumb; her
faith prevailed.
Today the Isreal of God, to whom
belong all the blessings and promises
and favors, are the Spiritual Israel
ties. These, through full conservation,
and the imputation of the merit of
Jesus sacrifice begotten of the Holy
Spirit, are embryo sons of God, in
neritors of the Divine nature and
Kingdom.
The Centurion's Servant Healed.
Palestine was subject TO the Roman
empire, and little garrisons of Roman
there, usually under a Centurion. One
of these knew of Jesus mighty
works, and when his faithful servant
fell sick he went to Jesus asking for
dog desiring a crumb from the chill
dren's table.
The Centurion's faith, our Lord de-
clared, was superior to anything that
He had found amongst the Israelites.
He got his request.
Jesus took the occasion to say that
the Israelites, who were counting so
much on their relationship to God as
the children of Abraham, would find
themselves greatly mistaken. Being
the children of Abraham did mean
that they would have special privi-
leges, but these they were enjoying
and not approaching.
God took out of their nation the
''Israelities indeed" meantime the
est were blinded, and for the past
eighteen centuries He has been com
pleting the Elect Kingdom church out
of all nations But He is selecting
none except such as have the faith
and obedience of Abraham and the
spirit of Jesus.
Nevertheless the Scriptures most
clearly declare that the Jews are still
heirs OF a certain promise. which in
due time will come to them. To them
will come the great privilege of being
the foremost nation amongst men
during Messiah's glorious reign, when
the church, glorified spiritualized,
will be with Him in His throne.

Oct 90.

Mark vii, 24-3O; Matthew viii, 5-13.
Oct. 20.
Him that cometh unto Me I will
in no wise cast out."-John VII 81.
There is general confusion amongst
Gods people respecting the relation
and the Jewish nation and between
the Jewish nation and all other ma
tions. The Bible tells that until the
coming of Christ-yea, until three and
a half years after Jesus died, arose
and ascended-the divine dealings
were confined to the Hebrew race.
The whole world is involved in the
penalty that came upon Father Adam
because of his disobedience-under
divine sentence as being unworthy of
everlasting life or relationship with
God. The Jews were no better than
the remainder of the race, so far as
the Scriptures tell, but God, having
from the first determined to provide
Redeemer for mankind, through
whose kingdom all the world should
ultimately be blessed and have the
privilege of return to divine favor,
made a selection of Abraham's pos
terity, because Abraham was a noble
character whose faith in God was thus
rewarded.
AS soon as the limit of time ex-
pired God manifested His favor to-
ward the Gentiles by sending the Cos
pei to Cornelius, q reverential, holy
and generous Gentle. Since then
Gods favors are as open to the Gen
tile as to the Jew-''the middle wall
of the partition" has been broken
down.
1t is from this standpoint that we
should read the Apostles statement
that the Gospel of Christ sis preached
to every creature under heaven" He
did not mean nor would it have been
true that the Gospel had been pro-
claimed to all. What the Apostle
meant is that the Gospel is now unre-
stricted, free to be preached to every
creature under heaven, no matter
what his nationality-it is no longer
confined to Jews as at first Now,
whoever has IAN ear to hear, let him
hear" the good Message of the King
DOM Whoever hears and has heart
to accept Gods gracious message, let
him present his body a living sacri-
flee, holy and acceptable through
Christ. (Romans xii, ID
The Syro-Phenician woman of our
study was a Greek-not a JeWeSS. Her
daughter was possessed of an evil
spirit She heard that Jesus was near
the border of Judea, and she sought
Him out. imploring that He would
cast out the demon.
But Jesus said to the woman. Let
the children first be filled. for it is not
proper to take the chi1dren's bread
and cast it to dogs" She understood
the force of this statement. The
Jews claimed to be Gods people, and
the Gentiles were styled Gentle
dogs" because they had never been
in covenant relationship with God.

we contemplate this incident, we may
study, each for himself, this portrait
of a perfect gentleman, with all the
qualities that appertain thereto.
As One Born to Command.
The sudden delight of discovering
noble qualities where they were not
expected was given to Jesus. His
own royal heart must have Ieaped as
He saw this proud Roman bending
knee in behalf of a slave. As chiV-
airy instantly responds to chivalry,
and as gentility commands gentility,
so Jesus instantly responded, Il will
come and heal him
Still higher rises the lofty spirit OF
the centurion. He knew what be-
Ionged to mastery. Himself a man of
authority, accustomed to say to this
one, go. and he goeth; and to an
other come and he cometh; and to
my servant, soce, do this, and he
doeth it, the centurion replied with
the noble self abasement of the great,

mind in the presence of a nobler.
Salvation Not a Birthright.
That recognition thrilled Jesus
heart Not even Israel, with all its
titudes who had seen the miracles,
not even His own disciples, had dis
played the faith of this Roman.
The marvel of it all caused Jesus
TO turn to His followers and say,
Many shall come from the east and
the west and shall sit down with
Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the
kingdom of heaven, but the children
of the kingdom shall be cast forth
into the outer darkness"
That utterance-and this is the
teaching of the incident-was ter
rife blow to all who count on their
descent or upon their membership in
a certain body to insure them the
good things of this world and the
next. We cannot inherit the king
dom of heaven through somebody's
else virtues Personal faith is the
only key that fits the door of the
kingdom of heaven. MANY who have

(RY WIN. T ELLISO.

(BY WIN. T ELLIS.)
An implied tribute to Christianity
is paid by the frequent comment upon
a given church that it is or is not
friendly in its manner toward strang-
erS. Men inStinctively expect to find
sociability in a church. warm,
friendly atmosphere is counted the
test. Men do not ask this of a thea
! ter or a concert hall They do not
| look for it in a political meeting.
Why, then, in the church? For the
simple reason that everybody believes,
in the depth of his heart, that Jesus
is the great teacher and exponent of
brotherhood. and that His church
stands for the sublime truth of human
fraternity and of love for all men.
The formalities and social barriers in
ordinary intercourse are largely abol-
ished in church, for there all men and
women meet as brethren in the Faith
er's house.
Nothing is more repugnant to a
self-respecting person than the pro
fessional interest and flattery which
a certain type of man bestows upon
description of this. 1t is at heart in
sincere, being used strictly for selfish
purposes. This is an odious imitation
of the simple friendIineSs which is
others. Imitation jeweIry is not half
so vulgar as imitation socia bility.
The Moravians have a beautiful
service, the 'agapa," or love feast,
which is quite distinct from the sac
rament of the Lords Supper. 1t is
the breaking of bread together by
disciples in fellowship. Rolls and cof-
fee are served, and during the simple
meal an address is made upon an ap-
propriate Christian theme. To an oO-
server. the service seems the acme Of
is
one of happiness and of mutual inter
est. It stresses the tie that binds the
company together, allegiance to Jesus
Christ. 1t cements Christian solidar-
ion is a feast, a joyous, exalting force
in the lives of human beings.
Character is the basis of fellowship.
Sincerity is the corner stone of socia-
bility. To serve men in the offices OF
fellowship one must be true The as
piration of this brother-spirit is we'll
voiced in these fugitive lines:
I would be true, for there are those
who trust me:
I would be pure, for there are those
who care:
I would be strong, for there is much
to suffer;
would be brave. for there is much
to dare
Il would be friend of all-the foe
the friendless;
I would be giving and forget the gift;
would be humble, for I know my
weakness:
would look up-and laugh-and love
