LESSON I — April 5
JESUS INVITES ALL PEOPLE—
Luke 14 •
Printed Text Luke 14 : 15-24
GOLDEN TEXT — Come; for all
things are now ready»—Luke 14 :17.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time —• January, A.D. 30. ■*
Place—Peraea.
Neither time -nor place is definitely
stated by Luke.
“And when one of them that sat at
meat with him heard these things,
he said unto him, Blessed is he '’that
shall eat bread in the kingdom of.
God.” Thbse words were • pressed by
one sitting St the table with Christ,,,
probably in a very superficial way,
a pious expression not springing
from the heart,, but from this, Phari
see’s beatitude. bOur Lord takes this
opportunity of givilng the remarkably
parable of the great feast.
“But . he sAi'd unto him, A certain
man madb a great supper; and he
bade many,” The word h re translat
ed suppei’ means the principal meal
in the. day, not necessarily the even
ing mbal. It tvas the chief hour for
appeasing hunger; it was the chosen
time of fellowship arid rest.
“And he .sent forth his servant at
supper time to say to them that were
bidden, Com^; for all things are ndw.
ready.” (For an Old Testament par
allel, see. Prov. 9 : 1-5) The servant
herd referred to. is the one sent to
remind the invited guests of .the in-,
vitation ' which had previously been
“extended, a custom in those days- in
'Palestine and one that still prevalis.
“And they all with one consent be
gan.’to make excuse.’* The. Greek
verb’,means to be left aside—to back
off. There is a. great difference be
tween a reason and an excuse. “The
first said unto fiini, I have bought a
field, and I must needs go out and
see it; I pray thee have me excused.”

Both.; these two seem to imply that
they may possibly come; later, if the
host likes to waitror the feast lasts
long enough., - .
“And another said, I have "married
a wife, and therefore I cannot come.”,
(See Deut. 24 : 5; I Cor. 7 : 29-33.)
There is no positive sin ascribed to
the refusing guests; their
that of pre-occupation and
ence.
“And the servant, came, and told
his lord these things. Then, the mast.-
. er of the house being angry said to
his servant, Go out quickly into the
streets and lanes of the city.”
two words combined -stand for the
public places of the town in which
those who have no comfortable hom
es are likely to be found. /
“And bring in hither the poor and
maimed and blind and lame.” Gener
ally speaking, this would refer to the
publicans and sinners. The • gr$at
Giver of the heavenly feast bids to
his table the spiritually sick, the
spiritualy needy.
“And the-servant said, Lord, what
thou didst command is don'e, and yet
there is room. And the lord said un
to the servant, Go out into the high
ways and hedges, and constrain them
to come in, tha\' may house may’ 'be
filled. In the idea, expressed by the
word constrain, there is no tfibyght
of campulsion, but rather of persu
asion.
“Fo,r I say unto you, that none of
those men that Were bidden shall
iSste of my supper.” Since the. you
is plural, this verse" is probably the
language, of our Lord indirectly as;
suniing that his hearers would see
the faring of this 'parable. It must
be remembered that Jesus had .been-’
distinctly refused at Nazareth (4 :
29); at Jerusalem in Judaea (John
8 : 59); in Samaria (9 : .53 ; in Gali
lee (10 i, 13); and Peraea (8 : 37).
Jesus came offering to men these
supremely valuable boons': a ’divine
Father, a kingdom of grace, a .Christ
w-ho was the sirthers’ friend, and a
Tlie Dean of Christ Church Cathe7
dral Ottawa, said in a serraou the
other day that women should not be
allowmd to sing solos jn church.
, Any person who has had more or
less experience in church choirs, will
agree with iis, when we say that the
Ottawa Dean must either be very in
nocent or .very coira geons. There will
be many also who do not agree with
him. They will say so. There will be
others who do agree with him. They
won't say a wdrd—if they are discreet.
The Dean believes that solos should
be sung in church only at infrequent
intervals, and then only by men
boys. * He contended that voices
men and boys blend better than
combination of men and women.
Apparently the Dean is trying
promote harmony in church choirs.
He may get it, as far as the singing is
concerned, but., unless he qualified
■his remarks to a m^fh greater extent
than the newspapers reported, he's
going to get a lot of discord as. well.
When those" sopranos forsake the
higher' “C’s" for their high horses.’’
the accompaniment will call for the
“great organ”—and then some! They
are apt to revive that old controversy
about women being allowed to occu-.
y the pulpit as a sort of reprisal.
For years church choirs have, been
regarded in many quarters as a good
“training ground" for young • vocal
ists. Some of the greatest singers of
the world, got their start.-in a chr’rch
choir. Their vocal efforts in leading
the congregational singing-have ijccn
regarded with appreciation ..and . a.
great many of their solos hpve been
•truly inspiring. Rift , probably ' the
Ottawa soloists are ’hecnmliig. ca.ro-
its.S in ifie e.v cm ion of thHr ait. And
also, maybe the Dean knows, good
singing when lie hears ir.
If this controversy continues some
one is sure to ask the question "Why
hav^ church choirs anyway?’ an I
the reply may come back "Why ha Vo
.any Deans?” And by that limn only
the bravest of the' brave will venture'
into the argument. In . fact it lo.oks
like a good thing to step out right,
now. After all it's an Ottawa fight — !
but it will be interesting rojearh how
it-comes o-ut. -- Chn.’hsm X”w<
