out Peter drew attention to the fact,
and the Lord answered him and the
whole of His disciples. His answer
should be most carefully considered, not
only in the actual words He said, but in
the purpose which was involved. This
teaching has often been treated as though
our Lord was giving His disciples an ac-
count of how He had withered the fg
tree. when He said. Have faith in God"
That. however. is by no means the case.
He was rather making use OF the figure
that was present to their minds OF that
withered tree as representing the with
cred nation, whose condemnation He was
about TO secure. His teaching therefore
was a revelation OF the reason why the
nation was doomed. This Is where they
had failed. They had not had faith in
God. A people who have faith in Him no
difficulties can hinder. Mountains are
cast into the sea. Therefore let these dis
ciples, to constitute presently the new
nation. to whom the responsibilities of
the kingdom were 10 be entrusted. have
that faith, and so learn the secrets of
power in prayer.
It is remarkable that under these SOL
emn circumstances, with His declaration
concerning the possibility Of prayer. He
linked the charge that in that act OF
prayer they must exercise the grace OF
forgiveness.
Again passing into the city and the
temple, there came to Him the chief
priests. the scribes. the elders, and chal-
lenged Him as TO the authority by which
He had wrought these things. the refer
ence undoubtedly being to the triumphal
entry. and the cleansing OF the temple.
He answered their challenge by chal-
longing them concerning the baptism of
John. For at any rate two years the
voice Of John had been silent, and these
men in all probability had largely forgot
ten IL, or shaken OF the influence which
IL had produced in their lives. 1t must
have been a startling thing thus to have
1t brought back TO them. and to be asked
whether II was from heaven or OF men.
An account is given OF the difficulty in
which they found themselves and Of the
answer which they gave Him, We know
not" BY this method He had revealed
their dishonesty. and their inability to
receive any declaration which He made
to them as to His authority. Their day
was past: their opportunity was gone.
The Teaching.
The whole teaching of this passage has
to do with the responsibility of privilege.
There is no better way TO gather II up
and to express it than by reading the
parable Of the fig tree as il is linked with
our lesson. Therein. privileges are en-
phasized in the fact that the tree was
planted within the vineyard Of its owner.
and derived all the sources of its being
from that which belonged to him Its
simple responsibility was that of bearing
fruit. A fig tree that in spite OF all priv
ilege and patience fails to bear fruit is
necessarily doomed. This is true con-

ing leaves. He came, IL heply He might
find anything thereon: and when He
came to it He found nothing but leaves;
for it was not the season Of figs.
90 And He answered and said unto
II, No man eat fruit from thee hencefor-
ward for ever. And his disciples heard it
Q6 And they come to jerusalem; and
He entered into the temple, and began
to cast out them that sold and them that
bought in the temple, and overthrow the
tables OF the money-changers, and the
seats OF them that sold the doves.
Q6 And He would not suffer that any
man should carry a vessel through the
temple.
% And He taught, and said unto
them. Is it not written. Ny house shall
be called house Of prayer for all the
nations? but ye have made it a den of
robbers
Q9 And the chief priests and scribes
heard it. and sought how they might de-
stroy Him; for they feared Him, for all
the multitude was astonished at His
teaching.
U9 And every evening He went forth
out Of the city.
COO And as they passed by in the morn
ing. they saw the fig tree withered away
from the roots.
CID And Peter calling to remembrance
saith unto Him. Rabbi, behold, the fig
tree which Thou cursedst is withered
away.

them, Have faith in God.
CD Verify 1 say unto you. whosoever
shall say unto this mountain. Be thou

not doubt in his heart, but shall believe
