of English Bible, at Moody Institute, Chicago.

ton is that man should not be with
out the woman. nor the woman with
out the man q Cor. 11:11.)
3. Remarr!age of the divorcer is
adultery wv. 1O-12)
The marriage relationship can
only be broken by death and sin. In
view OF the fact that marriage is for
life, men and women should not en-
ter this relationship without very
serious consideration. Divorce for
other than martial inhdelity does
not give the right 20 remarry.
III. Regarding Children CIV. Is
49, The union Of the male and fe-
purpose. lays the foundation for
family life. The issue OF such UNI
ion is children. In connection with
the divine law of marriage, il is fit
ting that Jesus should set forth his
estimate of children and interest in
them. The disciples considered il
beneath the dignity of the Master
TO spend time with the children.
Those who think il beneath their
dignity TO give attention TO children
should ponder well the words OF
Jesus. This will give the disciples
proper consideration for work
among children. and also TO the
nurture and discipline of their own
children. Christian men and wom-
en- will regard children as the prop
erty of the Lord, and will esteem II
a high and holy privilege TO train
them for him. Due attention TO
Christ's teaching regarding children
would transform the home life of
society.
III. Regarding Riches (vv. 1879
1. The young rulers question ".
10
This question reveals a void in his
heart He was a young man with
a lOvable character. The Savior's
affections were enraptured by him.
He was moral, honest, earnest and
courageous. He had a wrong con-
ceptiOn of eternal life. He thought
that eternal life could be obtained

~ good works. Though he claimed
to have kept the law, he was con-
sciOus OF something lacking. He
was willing 10 do something 20 fiji
up that which was lacking; there
fore he came TO Jesus making in
quiry as 20 that lack.
?. Jesus reply wv. Is, 49,
He knew the young mans heart.
and put his finger on the weak spot.
When IL came 10 parting with his
possessions in order TO help his
neighbor he parted with the Lord,
going away sorrowful This re-
vealed the fact that he was a covet-
Gus man, a violator Of the tenth
commandment.
3. Lacking one thing and yet lost
CIV. 21, 22.)
When the Lord pointed out TO
him that the defect in his life was
the live of his money. ne was un-
willing 70 pay the price When the
time came in his life to choose be
tween eternal life and riches, he
chose wealth and parted company
with Christ. perhaps. forever.
4. The peril Of riches (vv. $3.50
The difficulty does not lie in the
fact that a man possesses riches, for
a man may possess great riches and
still be an heir OF the kingdom.
Wealth is a mighty power. In it
self il is good. 1t will provide
bread for the widow and orphan.
amelioration for the suffering, and
send the Gospel OF Christ to the
ends Of the earth. The step from
possessing riches to trusting in them
is very short one. The tendency
of growing wealth is to destroy the
nobler life of the soul. Many OF the
most useful men in ancient and
modern times have been men Of
wealth: but they like Abraham,
chose TO live i'm tents, looking to the
heavenly city which hath founda-
tons. AS long as a man possesses
riches he is safe, but as soon as
riches possess the man he is in
deadly peril.
