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,

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. -
