SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson IG—Fourth Quarter, For THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES, Text of, the Lesson, Mark vii, 1.13.- Memory Verses, 5, 6 ---Golden. Text, Rom. xiv, 17 -Commentary Prepared by Rev.. D. M. Stearns, Taking up the incidents between the cast lesson and this one we note that because they did not consider His won- drous works, such as the feeding of the thousands, they were amazed at Imis stilling the stprm and walking on the sea. TIsat was Israel' trouble' all through, and It is ours; eve do 'not consider, or if we do it ie oiusen-et or our circumstances or people, and not our - . occupy Him who • should py all thoughts (vs. 52; Heb. 113, 1; xii, 3). lu chap. vi, 53-56, what a Multitude of 'wick folks gather. onto Him, see the streets in the villa„ es ailed with them, ,ill beetuir, that He would pas9,..•eeat .ough for them` to touch: the bottler of Hie garment; how beautiful to read that "as many as touched Him were made whole." Then follows the great discourse on the bread 'of life, the,, bread which came down from Heaven, even Him- self; and His reply to the question, "What shall we do that we might work the works of Gods" In considering His reply remember that believing means receiving (John i, 12) or commit • ting oneself unto Him (John 11, 24). 'I am continually helped by John vi, 57, "As the tiring Father bath sent Me, and I live by the Father, so he that eateth Me, even be shall live by Isle." Also verse 63, "The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life." To many even among true believers, He and His words are still htdden manna of which they have not yet tasted the sweetness, or hav- ing no spiritual appetite they loathe the heavenly food. They have life. having Film, , but not abundant life. There were many in His day, as there were also in the days of the prophets and as there are in our own time, whose, religion is wholly outward, simply a mutter of externals, of out- ward forms and ceremonies -they are referred to In -verse 6 of our lesson in a quotation from Isaiah. Let us hear two quotations from the prophets -con- cerning them, "This people draw near Me with their mouth and with their lips do honor me, but have removed. their heart far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the pre - sept of men" "They come unto thee as the people cometh, and they Mt; be - fere thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them, for with their mouth they ebew much love, but their heart goeth after their coyetousaess" (Isa. xxix, 13; Ezek. xxxill, 31). In addition no what our Lord said about them In this lesson He -said elsewhere, "Ali their work* they do for to be seen of men." "Ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, blit within are full of extortion and excess." "Ye outward- ly appear righteous unto men, but within are full o1 hypocrisy and in- iquity" (Matt xxiii, 5, 25-28). These are the men who, in the lesson for to- day, find fault with Christ and His disciples for not practicing the many outward washings of their religion.. There are multitudes of such formal- ists afiti who are very religious, but it is all outward, and they know not -the, true God, who searcheth heart, (I Sam, xvi, 7; I Chron. xxvitt 9; Tera xvit, 10; Rev. 11, 23). In II Tim. Hi, 1-5, we read that the end of this age will be characterized by a form of god- liness without any, power, and truly it is already visible enough and tending, to a greater manifestation of the slime. Inasmuch as it was foretold that It would be so, we are not surprised at it, and rejoice' that He cannot fall nor be discouraged (Ise. xlii, 4), but the question may well search. us, Am T, real in my life, living before God rather than mien and studying to shoe , myself approved unto God (II Tim. if, 15; II Cor. v, 9). our .Lord desires a holy' people, a people meet for His use (I Pet. I, 15, 16; II Tim. 11, 21), but the cleansing must be inward, by His spirit' -and His word applying the blood (Pa 11, 10; -Bari. XII, 2; John evil, 17; nph. v. 25, 20). This mattes' of de- filement by unwashed hands is briefly and decidedly disposed of by•our Lord in these words, "To eat .with unwashen hands dedleth not a man" (Matt. xv, 20). In Matt xy, 11, and verse 1.5 of our lesson we learn that wbat cometh out of the mouth, not that wbich goeth into the mouth,defileth a person, for 6 out of the abundance' of the heart the mouth speaketb,'and out of the evil heart proceedeth all evil deeds and wads (vas. 20-23; Matt. x11, 34), No niere outward religion is of any eternal value, but may be of some benefit as far as this present world is concerned. The great cry of today about the uplift of the race, the Chris- ' tlanizing of nations, making an end`ot war, etc., is all from the proud, fool- ish heart of mac, without any refer- ence to the great Prince of Peace, who alone can bring peace. Ali mere hu- man effort as well as all people who are not God's planting must. be rooted up, overthrown, broken to pieces, and Ile who created all .things by His word Shall bring peace on earth by Fiis word, He will speak peace, , His word alsoll] o d wlll,do it as it'Fr` tbe wicked, (Ps. lxxxv, 8; xlvi, 9; Isa. xi, 4). Only by His word and His spirit revealing Himself can Eegive peace to any individual, but t0 any one thus receiving Him He becomes peace in- deed. life indeed' eternal redemption. ,.-
