Golden Text. -I caane• that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. —John 10:10. JOY IN. CHRIST "And John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting."— John the Baptist was in prison, and his discip- les may have thought that Jesus should have fasted as a manifesta- tion of grief. John was an ascetic, and his followers would naturally agree with the Pharisees in their ob- servance of many fasts, "And they come any say unto him."—Thai is, unto Jesus. "Why do John's discip- les and the disciples of the Pharisees. fast, but thy disciples fast not?"— The Jews fasted twice each week (see Luke 18:12), -on Thursday, the day when according to tradition Moses re -ascended Mt. Sinai, and on Monday, because Moses is said to have returned on that day. One of these fasts may have been in progress at thetime of the question, and Mat- thew's "great feast" was given them. "And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons of the bride -chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?" —The "children of the bride -chamb- er" were the groom's intimate friends, who on his behalf attended to the details of the remarriage. "As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast."—Of course they might fast literally, but not spir- itually, for the spiritual fast means sorrow. The spiritual fast is the real fast, Christ implies, and is impossible until the spirit calls for it and takes part in it. • "But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall' be taken away from thein, and then will they fast in that, day,"—John the Baptist, whose dis- ciples were joining in this question- ing, had pictured Christ as the Bride- groom (John 3:29), and the thought runs through the New Testament, Christ's bride being the Church (Rev. 22:17), Already the consciousness of approaching death—and the Greek verb, "be taken away," implies a vi- olent death was present with the Saviour, and came sadly to mind ev- en at a feast. "No man seweth a piece of un- dressed cloth on an old garment."— "Undressed" cloth is new cloth, that has not been sponged. "Else that which should fill it up taketh from it, the new from the old, and a worse rent is made." -When the patch of new cloth "getswet, it shrinks and pulls away from the old cloth, mak- ing a bigger hole than before. "And no man putteth new wine in- to old wine-skins."—Goat skins are still used in the East to carry wine, water, and other liquids. The body is removed, the legs are tied up, and the neck becomes the mouth of the "bottle." The "bottle" is carried a- cross the shoulders. "Else the wine will burst the skins, and the wine perisheth, and the skins."— An old. ,wine -skin, cracked and weak, is eas- ily burst by the gases formed by the fermentation of the new wine. "But they put new wine into fresh wine- skins."—The th'ught of this parable emphasizes thr.t of the preceding, with the additional thought of the expansive power of the new religion which Christ was introducing. Christ- ianity throughout the ages has been revolutionary, turning the world up- side down as in the days of St. Paul. It has never been afraid of newness, of change, and of progress. Its cry. is "Excelsior!" "And it canoe ,to pass, that he 'was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields,"—Doubtless this was near Capernaum, as our last note of location Was in the house of Mat- thew. Public paths ,intersected the grainfields, and it was considered en- tirely proper to use them. "And les disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears."—The disciples were hong-. ry (Matt 12:1), for it was the Sab- bath, and they were probably on their way to or front the morning service of the synagogue.. The rab- bis had made a rule forbidding the Jews to eat before this service, "And the Pharisees said unto hitn, , Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?"—It was lawful (Dent. 23:25) and quite customary to help themselves to the grain. 'What the Pharisees objected to was the ' plucking of the wheat, which they had decreed to be a form of reaping, and rubbing the kernels out in the hand (Luke 6:1), which they had decreed to be a form of threshing, and reaping and threshing were forbidden on the Sabbath. A further refinement of Pharisaical cas- uistry forbade walking on the grass on the Sabbath, for theshoes would be threshing out the grass -seed, nor was a fruit to be plucked from a tree. on the Sabbath, for that would be reaping! It was against such non- sensical rules that Christ .made His protest,' "And he said unto them." 4 sur- vey of the Gospels gives many in- stances of Christ's readiness in the use of the Old Testament. "Did ye never read what David -did, when he had need, and d was hungry, he, and they that were with him?"—We must remember that Dayid was the most distinguished of the earthly ancest- ors of our. Saviour, and at the same Bine was the favorite hero of Jew- ish history. Jesus was summarizing 1 Sam. 21;1-9. "How he entered into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest." =David and his followers were flee- ing from. King Saul, and had reached Nob, north of Jerusalem. The tab- ernacle was there for a time. "And ate the showbread, which it is not Lawful to eat save for the priests, and gave also to them that were with him?"—There were twelve cakes of fine flour, one for each tribe, laid out on a table in the Holy Place of the sanctuary: the law forbade stran- gers to eat them (Ex. 29:33). The loaves (cakes) were changed ' for fresh loaves every Sabbath, and were theneaten by the priests. In the symbolism of the tabernacle they re- presented the communion of the peo- ple with God in the bounty which He provided for their sustenance. "And he said unto them, The sab- bath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath." "The' Sabbath was instituted at the beginning of the hu- man race. It was a divine provision, universal and perpetual. 'For man': no broader, no stronger statement can be made." "So that the Son of Man is lord even on the sabbath."—CErast as be- ing Representative Man, "the Son of man," had a right to control what was intended for. man, He was Lord of all things pertaining to men, even of an institution so sacred as the Sabbath. Without Christ was no- thing made that was made. He was the Creator and Ordainer of the Sab- bath. It is His free gift, his price- less gift, to His toilnig, weary, bur- dened brothers.
