made to the Mosaic form of worship.

25. Agree with thin adversary -Set -

accuser and the accused went in com-
pany to the court and had an oppor-
tunity to settle their differences
"whiles in the way." If they failed the
ease went before the judge and must
take its coutse. The "adversary" stands
for God who has been sinned against.
"Whiles" and "in the way" stand for
our period of earthly life, the "judge"
is Christ at Hits coming and the 'pri-
son" is hell. We are warned against al-

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS,
"Let your communication be, Yea,
yea; Nay, nay" (v. 37). Jesus '30W Op.
posed a powerful tide of custom and 11.
tense in the Jews' manner of speech.
They recognized the face -that they wide
forbiaden to take the name of God in
Sale (Exoth 20, 7), but by their unholy
traditions they were given liberty to
swear by the temple, the altar, the stied -
flee and almost endless other Apses.
So greatly had faithfulness •dcgenerated
among them, that, if they made a vow
or a promise, they were not meter obli-
gation to .fulfil it unlese they had sworn
by the Deity to do so, It is no us under
that John, preaching in the wilderness
of Judea, cried out as he saw the Phar-
isees. and Sadducces !souring to him, "0

-you to flee from the wrath to coulter
(Matt. 3, 7). Jesus does not undertake
to regulate or modify this practise, bet
proclaims a, direct prohibition, for He
says, "Swear- not .at all" (v. 34). , hire
custom so prevalent, in Christ's time is
by no means •obsolete. Many to•day
make almost constant use of expreseiones
such as "Goodness mesh "My land," "My •
eters," and others much more serious,.
to strengthen their statements, or to
give force to the manifestatioe of their
real or pretended • emotions. The true
Chrietian is characterized by simplicity
in his Words as in his other activities,
"The simple assertion of a good man is
*worth more than the oaths of a world
of bad Km" "Oaths are like the dm -
em's teeth sown by Cadmus of old; from
Irein spring a harvest of armed "giantr
of doubt and unbelief."
"Resist not evil" (v. 30). Jesus here
strikes the key -note of right doing with
reference to injuries received. Paw
!aye, "Dearly beloved, avenge not year -
selves, but rather give place unto wrath;
for it is written, Vengeance is mine;
will repay, saith the Lord" (Rom, 12.
10). The principle of revenge existed
among the Jews, and they practised is.
to such a extent that they had eer tale
money values placed upon particular in-
juries. This principle is based upon see
fishness. The heart of man unchanged
clamors for retaliation. The spirit .01
the Gospel as proclaimed by Jesus in the
Sermon on the Mount is altogether dif-
ferent from this.
"Love your enemies" (v. 44). Mai-
moneles, cherishing the feeling of the
Jew toward the Gentile, said: "If a, Jew
see a Gentile fall .into the sea, let him
by no means take him out; for it is.
written, 'Thou shalt net rise up against
the' blood of thy neighbor,' but Me is
not thy neighbor." "The law had said,
'Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy-
selfh but their neighbor, they Resumed,

had added that they should irate their
enemies." This was- thespitit of thine

"Be ye therefore perfect" (v. 48). Tieie.
is the summing up of the divine require-
ments. What we are. required to do by
the teachings of the Gospel is impos-

is sufficient to make us perfect in love.
"Wherefore He is able also to Save them

while the sceond shot penetrated his left
breast until it struels the fiftherib. The
