'Ample, whe: the written Law re- 1 fasting only on one day in the 3 , namely, the Day of Atonement, Pharisees were accusto (at at certain seasons) to fast two days in every week, and they insisted gn all religious people doing the same. n the same way the Pharisees multi- th and other holy days. tions commended themselves to and to a spiritual understanding of the divinewill. It was enough that they had a traditional sanction, and that they increased the separation be- tween the religious and the non-reli- ions classes. Jesus, on the" other and, declared many of these observ- ances to be contrary to the will of the heavenly Father. He insisted that God wished joy and not gloom, freedom nd not oppression, life and of death. n our lesson to-day we see him as Emancipator and Deliverer. 1. YASTING AND THE DIVINE WILL, 1 8-22 2 V. 18. The fasting regulations, which seem only to have been imposed at times, for example, the season of" the autumn-droughts, were observed not only by the Pharisees, but by the followers of John the Baptist. John was an ascetic, and bound his follow- ers to the strictest laws of abstinence. Jesus, on the other hand, declined to countenace a religion of gloom. He did not ask his disciples to fast, but Interpreted the religious life as a life of joy. Hence, the question which is here put to him. | V. 19. Jesuy, defending his disciples | for nof fasting, appeals to the rule observed ly a wedding-company on a marriage day. Fasting was not re- | uired of "the children of the bride-| chamber," that is, the companions of | the bridegroom, for it was considered | to be their duty "to increase the bride- | groom's joy." Jesus compares himeelf | and his companion to such a happy company, and says that they are under no obligation to fast. Why does Jesus use this illustration? Because #hie has seen into the heart of God; and he knows that God's service is the op- posite of gloom. He knows also, that God is sow fulfilling his promises of salvation, and that a new era in Israel's history is beginning. Compare Isaiah 61:10. | V. 20. The other side of tha happy picture. Grief and fasting are in place when the bridegroom is "f: away," and the festivities are hr up. This may be a reference to Jesus' death, which caused his disciples to fast, or it may be an illusion to the fate of John the Baptist. John had been taken away from his disciples, and therefore, a sorrowful mood was appropriate enou| to the latter.' Jesus thus explains the fasting of John's disciples, but says that his own are excused, | Vs. 21, 22. little parables are added to illustrate the incompatibility of the religion Jesus with such in-| #titutions as ceremonial fasting. Th first parable should be rendered thus "No one stitches a patch of new (un-| shrunk) cloth upon an old coat. If he does, the piece filled in takes away from the Joy (Christianity) "the old ion of fasting (Judaism) isciples belong to the continue to fast. about new wine needing new. bottles. for that reason they The second parable ), means that Jesus cannot | can you tell me where I could 'get & the true ideal of God's service ma kintosh for my daughter?" v express uder the old forms of Judaism.

The tuber itself may look desirable in every way and yet it 'may inherit weaknesses that prevent it yielding a really good crop. Disedses 'of oné kind or another take heavy toll of the crop. It is import- ant, therefore to be assured of the healthfulness ¥ of the potatoes that may be selected this winter for plant- ing in the' spring. 'What has now come to be known as certified seed po- tatoes, that is potatoes reasonably free from disease, can be secured in all of the provinces from growers that have had their fields inspected by, Dept. of Agriculture officials who are able to recognize diseased conditions. As an evidence of the value of certi- fed' seed, it is stated in Pamphlet 84 of the Dept, of Agriculture at Ottawa, Potal be performed on the Sabbath re was danger to life in delay. In caBe there was no such danger. heless, Jesus determined to he man, and asked him to come forward where all could see and hear. V.-4. The question of Jesus must have taken his critics by surprise. He asks, in effect, if not to do good on the Sabbath is not equivalent to doing evil, if not to save life is not equival- ent to taking life away: This puts an unexpected aspect upon the problém of suffering. There must be no delay in healing even on the Sabbath. Vs. 6, 6. The sullen silerce of his critics rouses Jesus to indignation. He sees how hara their hearts have become in spite of their profession of religion. Deliberately ignoring their objections, therefore, he heals the man. The Pharisees retaliate by at once concerting plans for Jesus' death. The Pharisees did not like the Herod- fans, the political party which sup- ported the administration of Herod Antipas. But now in their hatred of Jesus they form common cause with this party. British Patents Filed Increase seed in 1928.
