We are to forgive those who trespass against us without requiring full amends, because we do not occupy thv place of Creator and Judge towards our .fellows, and be- cause we ourselves are sinners, like others. For the Creator to forgive sin and remit its penalty uncondi- tionally would be to admit one of two things,- either that the Law and penalty were too severe. so that Jus- tice would require a revision of the decision, or, secondly, that man was imperfect in his creation and. unable to keep a perfect law and therefore should be excused for breaking it. Divine Justice cannot admit either premise. Man was created perfect, in the image of his Creator, “very good”; and the law under which he was tried was reasonable, and the penalty of death, because unworthy of life, was a just penalty. Again, for God to have exercised His mercy and to have ever-ridden the justices of His own decree would have opened the door for transgressions on the part of angels and cherubin, for each creature might justly claim the pri- vilege of sin once and be once for- given by an impartial judge. This would vitiate the entire principle of justice. Instead, God manifested His C“"" love By pfoiridihg a satisfaction for man’s sins, a substitute under the payingâ€"Jesus. _‘ __ The Logos left the heavenly courts and glory and was made flesh and died. the Just for the unjustâ€"not o! compulsion, but willinglyâ€""for the joy that was set before Him He en- dured the cross.” The joy included the work mentioned in our text and also His own exaltation to the right hand of Divine Majesty.

The Church is called His Body of many members. The whole completed will constitute the great Mediator, the antitypical Moses. who will inaugurate the antitypical or New Covenant for the blessing of all mankind after completing His “better sacrifices.” (Heb. ix, 23.) His own. Thus He said to Saul of Tarsus, "I am Jesus whom thou persecutes.” When the foreordained number of His members shall have thus been offered, when all of them shall have passed to Him beyond the veil by the power of the First Resur~ rection, then the great Mediator be- tween God and mankind will be com- Bleted. Then blood atonement will e applied on behalf of the world. Then Divine Justice will accept that ransom-price. Thereafter the world will be free from the curse The first of these “better sacri- fices” was that of His own flesh and was finished at Calvaryâ€"Ithe remain- der is the flesh of His Church, which He has been accepting and offering for now nea_r_ly nineteen centu_rie§ ag In the type Moses mediated the Law Covenant with Israel by sprink- ling the tables of the Law represent- ing Divine Justice, and then sp rink- lin the people with the blood of bu s and goats. But before he did this he made preparation for it by sacrificing the bulls and goats. 80 Christ Jesus, the Mediator of the New Covenant, has not yet sealed the Covenant, either with God or with men. First He must kill the “better sacr1fices ” The first and principle one of these was the ofiering up of himself. That work He finish at Cal- vary. Since then He is oflering up as His members those who come unto the Father through Him. presenting their bodies to the Priest that He may ofler them as living sacrifices. holy and acceptable to God The invitation of this Age is to suffer with Christ. to sacrifice earthly interests and hopes, to be dead to the world with Him and thus to be made shavers with Him in His heavenly glory and Kingdom. But none is worthy to offer sacrifice nor could God accept any imperfect sacrifice; hence the Divine provision is that we grant our bodiespm to the High Priest sacrifice. He then becomes our for sacrifice, He then becomes our Advocate, and. in harmony with the Divine will. accepts us as His flesh and sacrifices us gs such. oimpnting to us of His own merit to cover our blemishes.

D. M. Steal-us. This lesson is a look backward to? the murder of John the Baptist and the cause of it. Tidings of the mighty works done by Jesus and His follow- ers had reached the ears of King Her 0d, and he was perplexed and thought ‘that John must be risenfrom the dead. Others said. “It is Elijah." and still others said. “it is one of the old prophets risen again." Herod said. 7 “John have i beheaded. but who is this of whom i hear such things?" (Luke ix. 7-9.l it is said that he de- . sired to see Him. and when just be- fore His crucifixion Pilate sent Him to Herod. who was in Jerusalem al ' that time. it is written that he was exceedingly glad. for he was desirous to see Him of a long season. because . he had heard many things of Him. ‘ and he hoped to have seen some mirao ,- _. â€".. _. .-_..â€".- _.â€" â€"â€" -_. cle done by Him (Luke xxiii. 8). Her- od’s question. “Who is this?" is one of the greatest of all questions. We find it in Jer. xxx. 21. in connection with His becoming surety for His peo- ple; in Isa. lxili. 1. in connection with His coming in judgment; in Luke v. 21. in connection with His forgiving sins. and in Luke vii. 49. also; in Matt. xxl. 10. as He entered Jerusalem . on the ass’ colt. Blessed indeed are I all who know Him. not only as Israel's Messiah and the great head of the church and the King 0‘ kings and Lord of lords, but as their own per- sonal Saviour, who became surety for them, here their sins in His own body and has assured them of the forgive ness of their sins. Apart from thil personal knowledge of Him as the one who loved me and gave Himself to! me (GaL ii, 20). all else is as nothing. M»: Ito please the wicked was concerned.

' and we saw at the beginning of our lesson that he could not forget his part in the murder of John He has not forgotten it yet. for we conclude from Luke xvi. 25. that memory plays a very important part in the torment of the lost. Although it seemed hard for John to he thus taken on the earth. it was in reality a good day for him. for he had the gain. the very far better of Phil. i. 21. 23. and he has been well and happy ever since. and the glory of the kingdom still awaits him.

He had taken Herodias. his brother Philip’s wife. to be his wife. and John had told him that it was not lawful to do this. Therefore Herodias had an inward grudge against John and would have killed him it she could (verse 19. mar gin). But Herod. knowing John to bc a Just and holy man, heard him glad. iy and did many things and kept and saved him (verse 20. margin). Thu! things went on. Herod knowing and admiring the right. yet doing thd wrong. and Herodias a sort of Jezebel to help him in the wrong. and the devil controlling all. What a picture of real life it is, for; the devil is etil the god of this world, {Ind the world ileth in the wicked onel Now we have an account of one oi the devil’s supreme occasions-Hen od'a birthday and a supper for h“ lords, high captains and chief estate! of Galilee.

Oh. how much there Is of it today and even among those who are called Chris- tians!

"The friendship of the world ls enmity with God" (I John il. 15-17; Jas. iv. 4).. There would no doubt be royal wins in abundance. according to the state of the king. and the eating and drink. lng would be according to every man’s pleasure (Est. i. 7. 8). There was some special dancing also. and the daughter of Herodias danced so well that the king said unto her with an oath, “Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me I will give it thee unto the half of my kingdom" (verses 22. 23). Being instructed by her mother. she asked for the head of John the Baptist in a charger. The king's order must be obeyed. and immediately the execu- tioner does his awful work. and the grudge of the wicked Herodias is gratified as she obtains possession of the head of him she so hated for dar- ing to rebuke her sin. Naboth’s death at the hands of Jezebel or by her command was somewhat on the same line of things. as far as the death of the innocent and unoflending a"?! . fit THE FABMER’S CHILD HE in the Prairie country Where ‘I'hero Are Plenty ei Room and Few Die- trectiene end If He Can Only Find Hie “Bent" Hie Opportunity for Development le Greet â€" Pleeeuree Are Simple But Adequate.~ 1 think that the children of the great western farms, at least during the summer months, when the grain grows high all about the homestead. could. with a .ery little imagination. fancy the open spaces about the build- ings to be islands in the sea of waving wheat, says Emily P. Weaver in The Toronto Globe. When the wind sweeps over it, it app-ears, even in the eyes of grown-up talk, to flow in currents like green or golden water; and as the season advanws the nodding heads rise higher and higher till a man may stand breastdeep armngst them, and a little did may be quite lost to View.

In such a case, the several members of a _farn_ily are greatly de- ndent on each other for all the'com- art and brightness of life. Happily this often results in extremely strong family feeling. though the circum- stances favor the development of markedly different characteristics in the different members. Generally speaking, each child has room to grow with little let or hindrance from the ressure of other individualities, and. ing exposed to fewer distractions than the youngsters of large towns and cities, is possibly more likely to discover his own particular talent in good time. At any rate in the tiny community of a single home, it is beneficial to all when one member shows some definite “bent," especially in the direction of a practical accom- plishment. The others naturally stand aside to let him, or her, exercise the special talent; and of course it grows by use.

The advantages of its mental atmos- phere are probably quite as great for the young mind which needs to be fed. but ought not to be forced. Country sights and country sounds give the most intelligent child ample food for thought, whilst the country quiet al- iords him a chance to assimilate this food. He has time to think his own thoughts and dream his own dreams undisturbed by the rush and change and distractions of the city. If he cares for reading. or even as a child loves to be read t0, few books may Le available, but he will get at the hearts of those he has. Probably he will take longer to develop and perhaps all his life will remain a slower man than his city-bred cousinâ€"slower in move- ment. in speech, in the readiness to stake great things on a new idea- but on this continent at least we are in much more danger from overhaste than from undue deliberation; and the men and. women trained on the farm are our chief hope of escape from the wreck of our civilization through nervous impatience and reck- less speeding to our goals of individual and national fortune. The country-bred children (I do not say only the farmers’ children) of the last generation have. given many a leader to the present generation, and at this moment the farms of east and west alike are raising a crop of hu. manity, of infinitely more promise and value than any other crop whatso ever. The pleasures of the farmer’s chil- dren are generally simple and na- tural. Whether they have few toys or many, they are never at a loss for playthings, and there is always some- thing happening un a farm to make life interesting. It may be the mak- ing of the Christmas pudding or the preparing of some marvellous surprise for “Daddy's birthday”; the arrival at s new cslt in the burn or the trisl 01 s recently-purchased steam plow; the advent of a visitor or the comin o! the thresher and his “outfit." be life may seem monotonous to grown- up folk. but to the children. its verb» is endless.
