'Revd gs-"The recompense at the ion of t he just (v. 14) suggest - this guest a great banquet in the dem of the Messiah." Blessed is he He extols the greatness o£ the privil- ege.' In the parable that follows, Christ warns him and the others that the pri- vilege will ey no means be so generally recognized or embraced by the Jewish people as was commonly thought. Iioin. Com. In the kingdom of God -The king- dom" of God ,here, does not signify the kingdom of heaven in the highest sense, but only the kingdom of the Messiah, of which the earnal Jew here speaks, ac- cording to the received sense of his na- tion, as of a glorious temporal kingdom, in which the Jews should lord it over the Gentile world, enjoy their wealth, and be provided with all temporal blessings and delights, in which they place their happiness. -Whitby . This expresses, In an Oriental way, the desire they had of being members of that kingdom and of sharing in its benefits. 16. Then said he -The remark of the guest gave Jesus an opportunity to state some very important truths. "He deliv- ered the following parable to show that though the Messiah's kingdom 'would be offered to. them under the most favor- able circumstances, yet they would re- act it, preferring carnal to spiritual blessings, while, in the meantime, the Gentiles would embrace the gospel with cheerfulness and thereby be prepared to sit down in the abodes of the blessed:' -- Benson. A certain man -This man re- presented God the Father, and corres- ponded to "the king" in the parable of the wedding feast (Matt. xxii. 2). A great supper Representing the rich end abundant provisions of the gospel. "Only two regular meals are ordinarily partak- en of in Eastern lands. A lighter re- past, consisting generally of bread, ol- ives, milk and fruits forms the break- fast. But all entertainments, wheth- er public or private, on a larger or small- er scale, 'were and are continued to the second areal, shortly before or after sun- set, called, indifferently, dinner or sup- per." -Canon Tristram. Bade many -- The Jewish nation. "This general t n- nouncement was made in the Old Testa- ment institutions and prophecies." 17. Sent his servant -"The commission to all those who hold the office of sum- moning the work to enter the kingdom of God. is the same, hence but one ser- vant is referred to." John the Baptist, Christ, the apostles and disciples all de- livered the gospel message and issued a call to the Jewish people. The sante call was afterwards given to the Gentiles, and such is the invitation now extended to us. That were bidden -"The ,Jews to whom, the gospel was first offered, es- pecially the scribes and Pharisees." Come -The invitations of the gospel are full and complete (Matt. xi. 28; Rev. xxii. 17). All things are now ready -- "Now is the accepted tine." Every pro- vision is made for the redemption of a lost world; not one thing is lacking. The plan of salvation is perfect. The king- dom of heaven is at hand. The Messianic reign is about to begin. "The time had come when the Jews must decide Wheth- er they would accept the Messiah or not. The fate of the nation, as well as of each individual, depended on their decision. To all men now comes the invitation. It is as wide as humanity. It is lofty as the love of God, and ample as the wants of moan. For each of us all things are ready; the atonement made, the mansions prepared, the Father willing to receive, the angels waiting to welcome, the doors open, the Holy Spirit present, duties awaiting." anried a.iv fe-He should have This wife, '.`Come, let tie both no- he invitation to this gospel feast, once."

DISEASED fAIDNEYS Made Strong and Well Through Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "Two doctors told me that x :was incurable, but thanks to Dr. - Wil- liams' Pink Pills I- am a well woman to -day." This strong stetemient was made by Mrs, Ed- Rose, of St. Cath- arines, to a reporter, who hearing of her remarkable cure called to see her. "A few years ago while living in Hamilton," eontmued Mrs. Rose, I was attacked with kidney trouble. The doctor lulled me into a state of false security, while the disease con- tinued to make inroads, Finding that I was not getting better I con- sulted a specialist, who told me that the trouble had. developed .into Bright's disease and that I was incurable. I had dwindled to a mere shadow, and suffered from pain in the back and often a diffi- culty in breathing. Insomnia next came to add to my tortures and • I passed dreary, sleepless nights, and felt that I had not long to live. In this dispairing condition my husband `urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and to please him 1 began to take them. After using several boxes I felt the pills were help- ing me and I continued taking them un- til I had used some twenty boxes, when I was, again restored to perfect health. and every symptom of the trouble had disappeared.

Jesus contrasted the feast given by pian, where the guests were so anxious for the chief seats, for the feast given by God, where tJie guests have to be constrained to come. Concerning • this "great supper" we see that the call was, I. Fiendly. "A cetain man" (v. 16). God is the generous gift of the great supper. God poured out the wealth of his great love in the gift of his only be- loved Son. The price of our redemption is not silver and gold, but the precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus was hungry, that we might be satisfied; thirsty, that we might drink of living waters; forsaken, that we night be for- ever surrounded with dear ones; cruci- fied, that we might know everlasting blessedness. Oh! the infinite price of this heavenly feast! Ages on ages can never compute it! An eternity of devo- tion can never repay it! And all he asks is that we accept and enjoy it. II. Felicitous. "Bade many" (v. 16). "Those that were bidden" (v. 17) de- clined to come, but the "house" was "filled" (v. 23). The society of the mar- riage feast will be one of the special joys. Our elder. Brother will present us to the Father, and dispense to us of his bounty Luke xll. 37). The Holy Spirit will show us the glories, and see that we are abundantly satisfied (Rona. xiv. 17). The angels, with intense rejoicing, will welcome us (Luge xv. 10). We shall sit down with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob: with patriarchs, prophets, poets and apostles, whose navies are household words (Luke xiii. 28, 20). The authors we have communed with until they seem like personal friends will greet us there, The teachers we 'have loved, whose busy lives kept then from close communion with us here, will have time enough there.. The friends who have lifted us into the sunlight of his countenance, the loved ones estranged from us because of differences we could not control, the little ones we have laid away with ten- der longing, those "we have loved. and lost awhile," will be there to eat bread with us in the kingdom of God. But above all, will be joy of sweet com- munion with him who gave his life that we might share his glory., III. ('Yee. Come, (v. 17).
