THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
MARTHA (A Home -Maker)
Sunday, Aug. 18—Luke 10:38-42;
John 111-44.
Golden Text:
Jesus loved 11Martha, and her sister,
and Lazarus. (John 11:5:) •
Martha, like Peter, was very human.
And when we say that, we mean they
both showed the saute weaknesses,
and fell into the same sins that most
of us have.
The first of the two lesson passages
shows Martha at her worst; the sec-
ond ,at her best.
The two sister, Martha and Mary,
with their brother, Lazarus, were dear
friends of the Lord Jesus Christ. They
loved Him devotedly, and He loved
them as only the Son of God can love.
We may well believe that their home,
in the little town of . Bethany a few
miles east of Jerusalem and Abe Mount
their work and attend to their duties
that they can rake titxt.e to sit at the.
Lord's feet and listen to Him are
choosing the "good part"; and we May'
be sure that this does not lead to ne-
glect of their other duties, but rath-
er to increased efficiency.
The worrying, anxious housekeeper
is a sinning housekeeper. For we are
told never to be anxious, because God:
has pledged Himself to supply all our
need according to His riches in glory
by Christ Jesus (Phil, 4: 6, 19). When
we worry, we are not trusting God.
While we are really trusting God we
cannot worry.
The best part 'of this lesson is that
Martha learned her lesson, and learn-
ed it gloriously.
A time carne when their brother,
Lazarus—was sick—very sick. The.
sisters sent word to the Lord, but He
did not go to them. God sometimes
does that when we pray to Him in
desperate need: He seems not to hear
us at all, and to do nothing, Bat
Christ's silence and delay was only
because He loved Lazarus and the two
sisters so deeply. He knew that a
of Olives, was a veritable sanctuary greater blessing would come to them
of rest and comfort to the Lord. because of His delay.
Filially He went to Bethany but
it was too late! So they all thought.
For Lazarus had died four days be

maker on this occasion—she did not home,

keeping and homemaking until later. of Mary.
Mary "sat o t Jesus' feet, and heard
"Martha, as soon as she e
hedthatJesus was coming, went
His word." But Martha was all "hot
and bothered." We are told that she
was "cumbered about much serving."
Finally she felt she could not stand
He wentthereone day and they
welcomed Him gladly. Martha is call-
ed "a home -maker" in our lesson title;
and met Him; but Mary sat still in
the house. At first Martha seemed
to reproach the Lord: "Lord, if Thou
hadst been here, my brother had not
it any longer, and went straight to died." Then her faith reaches a =nut -

alone? bid her therefore that she help
me?..
Did the Lord sympathize with
Martha and rebuke Mary for letting
her sister work her fingers off all by
herself? Not at all. He rebuked Mar-
tha.' "Martha, lMartlia, thou are care-
ful (anxious) and troubled about
many things, but one thing is need- same words that Martha had spoken
fu[, and Mary hath chosen that good in her greeting to the Lord; but Mary

from hen"
It is not good housekeeping or
homemaking to work oneself into a
fever of worry and make every one
in the house uncomfortable while get-
ting the household duties done. Most
people say: "But my sympathies are
with Martha!" Of course they are.
Martha was a sinner, and so are we!
"Misery loves company." But the
Lord Jesus Christ made no mistakes
in judging people. He was the most
compassionate and sympathetic man
that ever lived, for He was God as
well as man. But He rebuked Martha:
therefore we know Martha was wrong.
The Lord never rebuked people who
were doing right.
A well-known Bible teacher and
writer of the last generation wrote an
article in which he expressed his con-
viction that Mary was a better house-
keeper than Martha. He believed that
Mary had done her housework and
finished her necessary work in the
home before their guest came, so that
when He came she was free to give
Him her time and attention.
At any rate, the Lord told the two
sisters that Mary was doing the right
thing and Martha was doing the
wrong thing. Those who so arrange
There follows one of the greatest
discourses on the resurrection to be
found in the whole Bible. The Lord
tells Martha: "I am the resurrection,
and the life." Martha's faith responds
gloriously: "Yea, Lord: I believe.
When the Lord and Martha reach
the Bethany home, Mary speaks the
pression of faith that Martha had
voiced. So Martha's faith outshines
Mary's just now, in the presence of
death.
The Son of God and Saviour of
men, who came to destroy the works
of the devil and set men free from the
power of sin and death, stood by the
grave of a man dead four days, whose
body had begun to decompose, and
"cried with a loud voice, Lazarus,
come forth."
"And he that was dead came forth."
It was the miracle of resurrection, the
greatest miracle God ever works.
Martha had learned the lesson her
Lord taught her that day long before,
in His word of loving rebuke. She
had stopped worrying. She was really
trusting the Lord. She bad "chosen
that good part, which shall not be
taken away from her."
Two London cabmen were glaring
at each other. "Aw, what's the matter
with you?" demanded one. "Nothink's
the matter with me." "You gave me a.
narsty look," persisted the first. `Well
responded the other, "now you men-
tion it, you certainly have a' narsty
look; but I didn't give it to you."
