The Heart Of the Lesson.
From the beginning of time men
had been asking what they must do
TO he happy. They had always as
sumed that II they would reach a state
of true felicity or blessedness they
must do things. Some things must be
! done; some things must not be done:
what were they? When a man came
into the world with a new religion
he essssleFtooR to answer this Question.
All religious teachers undertook to
answer 1t. TIE rabbis spent their
days answering IL. They were CON
tinually telling the people what they
must do and what thew must not do
They told them SO many things that
nobody could remember them. When
p man tried to obey all their injunc.
lions. instead OF becoming happy he
became the most miserable of men.
The Jews under the rabbis found out
that whatever Thou shalt and
| "Thou shalt not might be good, for
they We're not good to make men

When Jesus came he took the em-
phasis from doing and put 1t on
beins. 1t is not doing something that

The Lesson Text in Everyday Dress
After setting apart the twelve rs
his apostles Jesus went down 10 the
great throng that had gathered on the
plain below and spent a nttle while
s,ealing the sick and afflicted among
them. Then calling the twelve to
an elevated PLACE little apart from
the crowd he sat down and began to
speak OF the things pertaining to the
new lingdom which he had come to
set up in the hearts OF men.
1T Is not" we can imagine hin,
saying. such a kingdom as you have
been taught to expect" And then he
went on to tell them something Of the
character of those who would share
its blessings.

realize their poverty Of spirit: who
know that they are utterly unworthy.
utterly helpless. utterly dependent
upon. God for all spiritual good: who
feel snat they are wholly unworthy OF
a place in Gods kingdom. Blessed, are
they for they are in the kingdom.

God in the heart. Blessed are those
who are deeply troubled over their
