LESSON XIV
FRIENDS AND FOES OF THE
KINGDOM.—Matthew 13: 54-
16:12.
PRINTED TEXT, Matt. .13: 54-
14: 4; 15: 29-31.
GOLDEN TEXT — Ye are my
friends, if ye do the things which
3 command you. John 15: 14.
TIME—The rejection at Naz-
areth occurred In the winter of
A.D. 29; the earlier miracles of
this story through the end of
Chapter 14 took place in April
A.D. 29; the later miracles and the
rebuke of.the Pharisees and Sad-
duceee occurred in the summer of
the same year.
PLACE—Nazareth was the city
where Jesus lived most of his life,
in northern Galilee. John the Bap-
tist was martyred at Machaerds,
on the north-east shore of the
Dead Sea. The miracle of healing
the daughter of the Syrophoen-
leian woman occurred near the
cities of Tyre and Sidon on the
Mediterranean coast; the walking
on the water occurred. on the Sea
of Galilee.
Rejected In Own -City
I 64. And coming into his own
country he taught them in their
synagogue, insomuch that tbey
were . astonished, and said,
"Whence hath this man this wis-
dom, these mighty words? 55. Ie
not this the carpenter's son? Ie
not his mother called Mary? and
his brethren,. James, and Joseph,
and Simon,` and Judas? 56. And
his sisters, are they not all with
ns? Whence then hath this man
all these things? 57. And they
were offended in him. But Jesus
said unto them, A prophet is not
without honor, save in his own
country, and in his own house.
58. And he did not many mighty
works there because of -their un-
belief.
Murder of John Baptist
Matt. 14. 1. At that season Her-
od the tetrarch heard the report
concerning Jesus, 2. and said no.
to his servants, This is John the
Baptist; he is risen from the
dead; and therefore do these pow-
ers work in him. 8. For Herod bad
"laid hold on John, and bound him,
and put him in prison for the sake
of Herodias, his brother Philip's
wife. 4. For John saidunto him,
It is not lawful for thee to have
her. The death of Christ's herald
was a certain portent of the re-
jection and crucifixion of the
King. (The Herod of our lesson,
called Herod Antipas, was the eon
of Herod the. Great who ordered
the slaughter' of the babes of
Bethlehem). Herod, knowing that
he was wrong in this marriage
with his brother's (still living)
wife, and too weak a man to re-
sist the will of Salome and her
scheming mother, Herod gave or-
ders for John the Baptist to be
executed. Jesus immediately with-
drew into a desert place on being
informed of the martyrdom of his
forerunner by whom he had been
baptized,
Miracles By the Sea
29. And Jesus departed thence,
and carne nigh unto the sea of
Galilee; and he sent up into the
mountain, and sat there. 80, And -
there came unto him great multi-
tudes, having with them the lame,'
blind, dunib, maimed, and many
others, and they cast them down
at his feet; and he healed them.
31. insomuch that the multitude"
wondered, when they saw the
dumb speaking, the maimed whole,
and the lame wanting, and the
blind seeing: and they glorified
the God of Israel. Thousands of
books have been written about the
person and worst and life and
character of the Son of God, of
whoeo life the events of so few
days are known; and yet we have
not exhausted the infinite, unfath-
omable wealth of those days when
be walked among us in the flesh.
Still great multitudes coma to him
today: moral cripples that they
might walk in the way of the
Lord; the spiritually blind, that
they might behold the Lord in his
beauty; the paralyzed of speech
to become witnesses of his grace;
the hopeless to receive joy; the
lost to have their names written
in the .Lamb's book of life.
Opposition To Christ
We discover in this lesson the
rising opposition to. the Lord Jea-
ns Christ, which finally led to the
cross. We are living in a day when
there is a similar rising tide of
opposition to the Christ of the
New Testament, and it is inter-
esting to see here the character-
istics and manifestations of such
opposition which are parallelled
by the antagonism against Christ
which we find today on every
hand. Christ won when he was on
earth, and Christ will win in the
conflict against him today.

Save Space When
Building A Home
Woman Architect Says Corrid-
ors Are the Biggest Space.
Eaters = Advises Elimina•
tion of Has
Declaring that home -seekers
pay too much attention to the
style of houses and give too little
thought to the purposes they are
supposed to serve, Elizabeth Coit,
noted New York architect, advo-
cates an "objective viewpoint" in
building or buying a place to live
in.
Women., she says, should think
of prospective homes in terms of
functional uses, such as eating,
sleeping, entertaining, cooking, or
washing, and not merely as com-
binations of rooms.
Plenty of Closets
Extensive research werk in 000,-
nomical design and construction
has convinced Miss Colt that "car -
rider space is one of the biggest
space eaters in the average house,
Through the elimination of
halls, the builder may either re-
duce the over-all dimensions and
cubic contents of the house, or
else increase the size of the zooms.
No woman will admit that space
can be saved by providing fewer
closets, Miss : Colt says, but the
fact remains that closets ran be
located in otherwise useless spots
-some shallow and others deep.
