"Politeness has been well defit}ed as benevolence in small things,"-Ma- cattlay "THE LIFE OF OUR LORD" by Charles - Dickens CHAPTER - THE SEVENTH PART TWO Now the Pharisees received these lessons from our Saviour scornfully; for they were rich, and covetous, and thought themselves superior to all inankind, As a warning , to thein, Christ related this Parable:— QF DIVES AND LAZARUS. `There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day. And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which Jell from the rich man's table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass that the Beg- gar died, and was carried by the an- gels into Abraham's bosom — Abra- ham had been a very good man who lived many years before that time, and was then in Heaven. The rich man also died, and was buried. And in Hell, he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus. And he cried and said, `Father Abraham have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he inay dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, ployed some spies to ask Our Sav- four questions, and try to entrap Hint into saying something which was against the Law. The Emperor of that country, who was called Caesar, having . commanded tribute -money to be regularly paid to him by the peo- ple, and being cruel "against any one who 'disputed his right to it, these spies thought they might, perhaps, in- duce our Saviour to say it was un- just payment; and'so to bring himself under the Emperor's displeasure:. Therefore, pretending to be very humble, they came to Him and said, "Master you . teach the word of 'God. rightly, and 'do not respect persons on account, of their, wealth -or high station. Tell us, is it lawful that we should pay tribute to Caesar?" - Christ, who knew their thoughts, re- plied, "Why do you ask? Shew me a penny:" Theydidso. "Whose image„. and whose name, is this upon it?" he asked them. They said "Caesar's.", "Then,' said He, "Render unto Caes- ar, the things that are Caesar's." So they left Him; very much en- raged and disappointed that they could. - not entrap Him. But our Saviour knew their hearts and thoughts, as well as He knew that other men were conspiring -against Him, and that He would soon be put to death. As He was teaching them thus, He remember that in thy life time thou sat near the Public Treasury, where receiveds't good things, and likewise people as they passed along the street, Lazarus evil things. But now, he is weer accustomed to drop money into comforted, and thou art tormented.' a box for the poor; and many rich And among other Parable, Christ persons, passing while Jesus sat there said to these same Pharisees, because had put in a great deal of money. At of their pride, That two men once went up into the Temple, to pray; of whom, one was a Pharisee, and one• a Publican. The Pharisee said, "God I thank Thee, that I am not unjust as other men are, or bad as this Publi- can is!" The Publican, standing afar I truly charitable than all the rest who had given money that day; for the others were rich and would never miss what they had given, but she was very poor, and had given those two mites which might have bought her bread to eat. Let us never forget what the poor widow did, when we think we are charitable. - (Continued Next Week) last there -came a poor Widow, who dropped in two mites, each half a far- thing in value, and then went quietly away. Jesus, seeing her do this as he rose to leave the place, called His dis- ciples isciples about Him, and said to them that that poor widow had been more off, would not lift up his eyes to Hea- ven, but struck his breast, and only said, 'God be merciful to me, a Sin- ner!" And God—aur Saviour told them—would be merciful to that pian rather than the other, and would be better pleased with his prayer, because he made it with a humble and a low- ly heart. - The Pharisees were so angry at be- ing taught these things, that they em - (Copyright for North and South America, 1934, by United Feature Syndi- cate.
