SUNAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON XIII JESUS REQUIRES FAITHFUL. NESS. Luke 12. PRINTED TEXT, Luke 12 : 35-48. GOLDEN TEXT.—To whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required. Luke 18 : 43. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—All the events of this chapter occurred in November and December, A.D. 29. Place.—According to such meager evidence as the text affords it would seem that the events in this chapter all took place in Peraea, the name of the province ot Pales- tine iu the time of Christ east of the Jordan River, directly north. :ref 'and along the shores of the Dead Sea. From this lesson we receive the Igrofeund impression of the fact that in his teaching while on earth the Lord Jesus touched upon the most important, most fundamental, most character -influencing turns which can ever be presented to men. Here in this one chapter we have light upon such subjects as hypocrisy, the fear of God, the eter- nal consequences ot confessing Christ, the privilege of being taught by the Holy Spirit, the dan- ger of covetousness, the import- ance of having treasure in heaven, the need for constant watchfulness, waiting for our Lord to return. Awaiting His Return Luke 12:35. "Let your loins be ,girded about, and your lamps !burning. Jesus has shown that our treasure ought to be in heavens that we may be wholehearted to- ward Gpd. He enforces this whole- heartedness in three parables. The eommou dress throughout the Ro- man Empire in our Lord's time osonsisted of a long tunic, with a .phain or braid wound round the body. The tunic was girt when a yuan had to walk fast or to work. 36. "And be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the mar- riage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straight- way open unto him. 37. Blessed aro those servants, whom the lord when be cometh Shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird him- self, and make them sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them, 38. And if lee shall come in the second watch, and if In the third, and find them so, blessed are those , iervantB.' Hera Christ compares his die- ' elples to men to whom has been intrusted a great estate by their 'J>heir lord, to whom, w hen he re- turns from a wedding, and knocks tet the door of his own mansion, they open immediately; for they Ixave been watching for him, eager for hien to coma back. Though it does not so say, it certaittly is im- plied, .that If the servants are sag• Ssrly waiting the return of the lord t e,Y will be careful to do the things 44 his absence which the lord has assn tdanded theni to do. (It Is the teturn of Christ to his chinch, tbat his parable implien). "xte Ye Aloe beady" • 39. "But know this, that if the Vaster of the house had known What hour the thief wets *wa- lk he would have watched, and :loot ham left his house to 'bb brok- en through:. 40. Pe ye also ready: for in an our that ye think not the 'Son alien ceniet f:." In the first place, Jesus encour- ages his disciples with a great promise to mane them watchful. In this added illustration he warns them against failure to watch. In this negative is also the note of judgment for him who does not watch. 41. And Peter said, Lord, speak - est thou this parable unto us, or even unto all? 42. And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord set over his house- hold, to give them their portion of toad In due season? 43. Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he. cometh shall find so doing. 44. Ot a truth I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath. 45. But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and the maidservauts, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 46. The Iord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he know - Proud Winner Mobie Dixie realizes he has something to meow about. He won first prize in the junior kit- ten close art the recent Empire cat show, and wants everyone to see hiss new ribbon. Nice, eh? etli not, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful. 47, And that servant, who knew his lord's will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with 'many stripes; 48. Btit he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes, And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much he required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they asic the more." Measure of Responsibilities This attitude of watchfulness, and of interest in the return of Christ, should particularly char- acterize teachers and leaders. This is the force of the question which Peter now asked. He inquired whether all believers would share equally In the blessings of the Lord's return; would not those, like the apostles, who hacl been most prominent in his service re- ceive from him a greater reward? Jesus replied that larger privileges imply greater temptations and greater responsibilities. The chief advantage of a religious leader liea In his opportunity for knowing more fully the teachings of Christ; his superior knowledge, therefore, will be the ground of bis more tc•rible punishment In case of un- faithfulness; the principle is abid- ing and applies in every sphere. Jesus always implies that Man's knowledge is the measure of his responsibilities, and that tender- ness will be shown to the ignor- ant. SCOUTING ...

Scents for He-men .After a heavy snowstorm in New York enormous crowds gath- ered at the entrance to the per- fume house of Houbigant. The reasoli was soon:clear, for instead of melting the ice in front of the store with rock 'salt the jani- tor had used rejected bath salts, • In this and many other ways American manufacturers of per- fume are trying to attract cus- tomers, especially the male types, whom they say are notoriously perfume shy. One scent seller has induced a large riding aca- demy to shampoo their horses with perfumed soap which leaves an exotic, pleasant fragrance which customers like. But for real he-men they have perfumes like the smell of old leather, burnt gunpowder, and wood smoke, to remind them of the hunting field, and they have in- duced tailors to impregnate tweeds with the odour of peat, moss, and mountain clay. skill and strength are needed, for these small whales dive and dodge, and, when wounded, some- times turn and flay the canoes with their tails, 'Washing Day Add a tablespoon methylated spirits to the last rinsing water of table and tray clothes—it gives them a glossy crispness when ironed, that can't be beaten.
