art of the day it completely eclipsed

gaY with fiosvers in window -boxes.
The Viscount loolted at his watch. '
"How far to Epsom?" he asked over'
Dale's shoulder.
"About sixteen miles by the direct
road, my eore, but it will be best to
go round by Kingston and avoid the.
worst of the traffic. We ought to.
allow an hour for the run."
"An. hour!"
"We are not in France now, my
lord. The police here would have
spasms if they saw the car extended."
Lord Medenham sighed.
"We must reason with them,", he
said. "But not to -clay. Lady St. Maur
declares she is nervous. Of course,
ste doesn't know our Mercury. After
to -day's _experience it will be quite
another matter when I take her to
Brighton for lunch on Sunday."
Dile said nothing. He had met his
employer at Marseilles in October,
when Lord Medertham landed from).
Africa; during the preceding twelve.
months his license had been indorsed
three times for -exceeding the speed
limit on the Brighton 'Road, and he
had paid $40 in fines and costs to;
Various petty sessional courts- in Sur-

Medenham seemed to think that his

lettered injunction to "knock and

the house, and remained there so long
that Dale's respect for the law begaxd
to weaken. The chauffeur had bee*
given a racing certainty for the first(
race; the hour was nearing twelve,
and every road leading to Besoral

it was clear that the unexpeoted had

that his master cared little about rac-
ing, and, so far as Epsora was cone
corned, would abandon the day's ex-,
()melon without a pang. He grew des-
perate. But, being something of a
stoic, he kept his feelings in. checks
and played a card that could hardly
fail.
"You wiU find plenty of youngsters,
on the hill who will be glad of them;

"You don't tell me sae Kiddies at

Lesson IL -Second Quarter, For
April 14, 1912,
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Mark li, 23 to
•'6 -Memory Verses, ,27, 28 -Golden
Text, Mark 11, 27 -Commentary Pre-
ppred by Rev. D. 111, Stearns.
The record of today's lesson, two
Sabbath day ilaciclente, the disciple
'plucking corn and a withered hand
restored in tbe synagogee, is found in
Matt, xli and Luke vi, as well as in
Mark, so that it must 'concern Him
not only as the Jewish King rejected,
but also as the perfect servant, and as
tee Son of Man, to whom all things
wit' yet be subdued. To understand
Him and His words and works we
must consider Him as Nathaniel spoke
Of Him, "the Son of God, the King of
Israel" (John 1, 49), as 'time King of the
Jews" whom the wise men sought
(Matt. 11, 2), and as the "Wonderful,
Counselor, tbe Mighty God,, the Ever-
lasting iather, the Prince of Peace,
who will yet (tit upon the throne a
David and whose kingdom shall know
no end" Use. ix, 6, 7; Luke 1,32, 38).
The late Dr. Weston in Ms "Genesis
of the New Testament" says that the
Jewish Sabbath was the one peculiar
and distinctive ordinance of tee me
tion. Other nations practiced circum-
cision and Oriel temples, offered sacri-
fices and performed religious rites, but
the Sabbath was the Jewish national
flag, In It they claimed a peculiar rela-
tion to God as their Creator, Redeemer
alid Rest, and, if by this man's treat-
ment of their Sabbatie they are to bo
deprived of their distinction from other
nations, what is the use of being God's
people? Considering this, it is not so
surprising that tbe immediate occa-
sion of the determination by the Jew-
ish rulers to put .Christ to death, as
stated in all the gospels, was His rela-
tion to the Sabbath. He claimed to be
greater than Solomon or the temple
or the Sabbath (Matt. xii, 8, 8, 42), but
tbey would not so receive Him. They
honored Him with their) lips, but their
heart was far from Biro (lsa. xxlx, 13;
Ezek. xxxiii, 31; Matt. xv, 7, 8). They
had a form of worship without any
power. Jehovah, whom they professed
to worship, was in their midst,' and
they knew Him not.
Matthew says that as the disciples
passed through the cornfields they
were hungry, and Luke says that they
rubbed tbe ears of corn in their hands
and did eat. Our Lord Himself was
an hungered on other occasion; as re-,
corded in Matt. iv, 2; xxl, 18. Concern-
ing Israel it is written that Be suffered
them to hunger (Deut. viii, 8), but it
was to prove them and teach them.
The wicked are ever watching the
righteous and seeking to slay them
(Ps. xxxvie 32), and here thil are
finding fault and condemning the dis-
ciples, and the Lord, too, because
they knew Him not, nor the Scrip-
tures, which they professed to rever-
ence. He referred 'them to their own
Seriptures, Baying. "Have .ye never
read what David did when he had
deed and was an hungered? (Verse ee.)
There is no word of condemnation
here for David and his followers. He
came not to condemn, but to show
mercy, hence His quotation frne the
prophets ineelatthew's record, "1 will
have mercy and not sacrifice" (Matt.
xii, 7; Hos. VI, 0). The rest of the
verse in Hosea says that the knowl-
edge of God is better than burnt offer-
ing. The -primary idea in sacrifice is
that God gives -to us, not that we gees)
to Him, for in the .first sacrifice the
Lord gave to Adam and Eve redemp-
tion Clothing vshich He Himself pro-
vided, a foreshadowing of Christ lov-
ing the ehurch and giving Himseit for
it, purchasing it with His own blood.
We cannotsgive anything to God nor
oefer Him .acceptable service until we
have received mercy from Him as the
One who saves sinners. Before ever
sin entered this world God set apart
one day in eeven es a time when man
might be free from all work and give
himself up wholly to becoming ac -
et -minted with God, for there is noth-
ing that can compare with knowing
God (Jer. 1; 23, 24). The Lord of the
Sabbath gave to man lnB1s own im-
age a day on which He might special-
ly bless him by the revelation of isim-
self . as tbe source of all being and
blessing and elfe and love and peace.
The man in the synagogue with the
withered bane was strongly suggestive
of the condition of the nation and ot
their inability to do anything for God
...until they would accept His mercy.
In the• record, in Matt. xii, 11, 12, He
uses the illustration of the necessItY
of. fesceing a sheep from a jet, even
on tbe Sabbath day, but He speaks
of the owner of the sheep doieg ibis,
saying, "What man • shall Stave one
sheep," not see a sheep. • He loved
these wayward sheep. He came to give
them life. He was as rencly to heal
them as He was to restore that wither-
ed hand, but they v;oule not let Him,
and the hardness (or blindness -margin)
of their hearts was a grief to Him.
Note the cry from His heart condens-
ing them, "We would not," "We ,will
pot," "If thou hadst kuown" (Matt.
xxiii, 37; xxii, 3; John y, 40; Luke
xix, 41, 42). Instead of having any-
thing like a penitent spirit, a ,convie-
tioe of sin, their proud hearts so rebel-
led against Him and 1119 teachIng
that they went away and took counsel
hew they, might kill Hire. For Ens
love they gave Him hatred, they knew
Him not, they would not have such a
one as. their Messiah, but the time will
come whets theyeeeall say, "Our God,"
