THE SEVENTH Part One • As Our Saviour sat teaching the people and answering their questions, a certain Lawyer stood up, and said "Master what shall I do, that I may live again in happiness after I am dead?" Jesus said to him "The first of all the commandments is, The Lord our God is one Lord: and thou shalt love the Lord Thy God with all Thy heart, and with all Thy Soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy Strength. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other com- mandment greater than these." Then the Lawyer said "But who is my neighbour? Tell me that I may know." Jesus answered in this Par- able "There was once a traveller," he said, "journeying from Jerusalem to Jericho, who fell among Thieves; and they robbed him of his clothes, and wounded him, and went away, leaving him half dead upon the road. A Priest, happening to pass that way, while the poor man lay there, saw him, but took no notice, and passed by, on the other side. Another pian, a Levite, came that way, and also saw him; but he only looked at him for a moment, and then passed by, also. But a certain Samaritan who came travelling along that road, no sooner saw him than he had compas- sion on him, and dressed his wounds with oil and wine, and set him on the beast he rode himself, and took him to an Inn, and next morning took out of his pocket Two pence and gave them to the Landlord, saying " take care of him and whatever you may spend beyond this, in doing so, I will repay you when I come here again." - "Now which of these three men," said our Saviour to the Lawyer, "do you think should be called the neigh- bour of him who fell among the Thieves?" The Lawyer said, "The man who shewed compassion on him." "True," replied our Saviour, "Go thou and do likewise! Be compassionate to all men. For all men are your nei- ghbours and brothers." And he told them this Parable, of which the meaning is, that we are never to be proud, or think ourselves very good, before God, but are always to be humble. He said, "When you are invited to a Feast or Wedding, do not sit down in the best place, lest some more honored man should come and claim that seat. But sit down in the lowest place, and a better will be offered you if you deserve it. For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased, and whosoever humbleth him- self shall be exalted." He also told them this Parable. - "There was a certain man who pre- pared a great supper, and invited many people, and sent his Servant round to them when supper was ready to tell them they were waited for. Upon this, they made excuses. One said he had bought a piece of ,ground and must go to look at it. Another that he had bought five yoke of Ox- en, and must go to try them. An- other, that he was newly married, and could not come. When the Master of the house heard this, he was angry, and told the servant to go into the streets, and into the high roads, and among the hedges, and invite the poor, the lame, the maimed, and the blind to supper instead." The meaning of Our Saviour in tell- ing them this ?arable, was that those who are too busy with their own pro- fits and pleasures, to think of God and of doing good, will not find such favor with him as the sick and miser- able. (Copyright fo It happened that our Saviour, being* in the City of Jericho, saw, looking down anon him over the heads of the crowd, front: a tree into which he had. climbed for that purpose, a man nam- ed Zacchaeus, who was regarded as a. common kind of man, anda sinner, but to whom Jesus Christ called out,, as He passed, along, that He would: ` come and, eat with him in his house that day. Those proud men, the Phar- isees and Scribes, hearing this, mutt- ered among themselves; and said "he eats with sinners." In:answer to them. Jesus related this • Parable, which is. usually called The Parable of the Prodigal Son. "There was once a man,' 'he told' them, "who had two sons: and • the younger of them said one day, 'Fath- er, give me my share of your riches now, and let me du with it what. T please.' The father granting his re- quest, he travelled away with his mon- ey, into a distant country, and soon. spent it in rioutous living. When he had spent all, there came a time, through all that country, of great public distress and famine, when there was no bread, and, when the corn, and the grass, and all the things that grow in the ground were all dried up and blighted. The Prodigal Son fell into such distress and hung- er, that he hired himself out as a ser- vant to feed swine in the fields. And he would have been glad to eat, even the poor coarse husks that the swine were fed with, but his Master gave him none. In this distress, he said to himself 'How many of my father's servants have bread enough, and to spare, while I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father! I, have sinned against Heaven and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called Thy Son!" And so he travelled back again, in great pain and sorrow and difficulty, to his father's house. When he was. yet a great way off, his father saw him, and knew him in the midst of . all his rags and misery, and ran to- wards him, and wept, and fell upon his neck, and kissed hien. And he told his servants to clothe this poor re-' , pentant Son in the best robes, and to make a great feast to celebate his re- turn. Which was clone; and they be- gan to be merry, 13ut the eldest Son, who had been in the field and knew nothing of his.' brother's return, coming to the house. and hearing the music and Dancing, called to one of the servants, and ask- ed him what it meant. To this the servant made answer that his broth- er had come home, and that his fath- er was joyful because of his return; At this, the elder brother was angry, and would not go into the house; so the father, hearing of it, came out to persuade him. 'Father,' said the elder brother, `yo1 - do not treat me justly, to show so much joy for my younger brother's return. For these many years I have been with you constantly, and have been true to you, yet you have never made a feast for Inc.. But when ,my younger brother returns, who has been prodigal, you are full of delight,, and the whole house makes merry!" "Son" returned the father, "You have. always been with me, and all I have is yours. 13ut we thought your bro- ther dead, and he is alive. He was lost, and he.is found; and it is natural, and right that we should be merry for his :unexpected return to his old home." By this, our Saviour meant to teach that those who have done wrong and forgotten God, are always welcome to hintc and will always receive his riser cy, if they will only return to Him in sorrow for the sin of which they have been guilty, (Continued Next Week) North and South America, 1934, by United Feature Syndi- cate.
