GOD, THE LOVING FATHER.— Luke 15. GOLDEN TEXT.—Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. Psalm 103:13. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIME.—January, A.D. 30. PLACE.—Peraea. "And he said, a certain man had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of thy substance that falleth to me." According to Jewish Iaw (Deut. 21:17) each sen would receive the sable proportion of pro- perty and inheritance from the father, except the eldest son, who would receive an inheritance double that of any of his brothers. The younger son here, then, asks for one- third of his father's estate. The re- quest probably was not unusual, and yet it shows two things: the younger son chafed at the restraints that the home placed upon him, and he want- ed to live a life which the environ- ment of the home did not convenient- ly perrnit; moreover, he needed money with which to accomplish the selfish purposes that were in his heart. "And he divided unto them his living." In the father's consent- ing to the guilty wish of his son; a very solemn thought is expressed, that of the sinner's abandonment to the desjres of his own heart (Roar. 1:24, 20, 28), the ceasing., on rtyl1.e part of the divine Spirit, to st •rive against the inclinations of a spoiled heart, which can only be cured by the bitter experiences of sin. "And for many days after, the younger son gathered, all together and took his journey into a far country; and there he wasted his substance with riotous living." The word riotous here means abandoned, dissolute, profligate. "And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that coun- try." There is a divine teleology (that character of nature which re- veals design or final cause) in the conjuction, whether appearing in in- dividual experience or in the life of nations, and the parable only recog- nizes this truth in exhibiting a cor- respondence between moral state and outward circumstances. "And he be- gan to be in want." The inevitable destitution to which sin drags its victims. "And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that coun- try." The word implies that the citizen of the country, to whom he applied, was unwilling at first to re- ceive him, and only after persistent pressing entreaties, took him into his service. "And he sent hini into his fields to feed swine." This young man, a Jew, has now lost his inde- pendence and freedom, which, at first, he started out to fully enjoy; he has been driven to tasks 'which 3 W.F. normally would have been revoltii g to him. "And he would fain have filled h s belly with the husks that the swine did eat." These Were the pods of the carob tree. "Anel no man gave unto him." The swine were more precious in the citizen's eyes than. the swineherd. "But when he came to himself." This expression is like that in Acts 12:11 in speaking of Peter awaken- ing from his strange experience in being delivered from prison by an angel. The statement itself would indicate that this man in his sin was outside of himself, or beside himself. Sin robs us of our normal powers of common sense, of balanced juagnrent. "He said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish here with hunger!" And thus God uses phys- ical suffering and shame to bring those who would live apart trom him 'to their senses again. "I will arise and go to my father, and will say ,unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight." Here is the turning -point in this young man's life. He is de- termined to get out of the foreign country, out of his shame, out or his wasted daily life. "I am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hir- ed servants." A spirit of such hu- mility as this testifies to the reality ,of his' sense of sin and true repent- ance. "And he arose and cane' to his father." Many a resolution dies be- fore it is put into execution. Here the resolution, once taken, is fm- mediately carried out. "But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him." Undoubtedly, the Lord would have us to believe that the father continually had been looking for his son. It was all he could do. He could not bring him hone by com- pulsion, but he loved him, and, every day, he watched, with never tiring eye. "And was moved with com- passion, and ran." It is the only place in Holy Scripture where haste is attributed to -God. "And fell on his neck, and kissed him." Literal- ly, kissed him dgain and again. "And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: I am no more worthy to be called thy son." When we were still dead in trespasses and sin, God loved us. He loved us before ever we loved Him (1 John 4:10,19). "But the father said to his ser- vants, Bring forth quickly the best robe." Many believe that this phrase should read, more accurately, the first robe, meaning not the first in quality, but the robe which the son had worn in former days. "And put it on him;' and put a ring on his hand." A ring is symbolic of honor and dignity (Gen. 41:42; Esther 3: 10; 8:2; Jaynes 2:2). "And shoes on his feet." The shoes were marks of a free man, for slaves went bare- foot. "And bring the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and make merry," It is often said that there is no sacrifice in this parable of the restoration of the' prodigal son, But that great Biblical expositor, Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, writes, "If a son, Whether through rebellion or legiti- mately, left home for a season, it was the habit to offer a sacrifice upon the threshold on his return. The purpose of the sacrifice was two- fold, first an atonement for possible sin, and secondly, a feast to be spread when the threshold was crossed. "For this' my son was dead." Death is often spoken of in the New Testament as the state of a sinner even while he is living out his life on earth (Eph, 2:1; Rom. 6:13; etc.). "And is alive again. He was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry." Man, viewed as the ob- ject of the Saviour's solicitude, is lost as a straying sheep is lost, through thoughtlessness; as a piece of money is lost to use, when its owner cannot find it; as a prodigal is lost, who, in waywardness and self- will departs from his father's house. Mniage iicese Costs are halved REGINA.—The high cost of mar- riage has been reduced for residents in Northern Saskatchewan. The Saskatchewan Legislature recently, when in committee of the whole, approved an amendment to the marriage act which cuts the ,costs of marriage licenses trom $5 to $2.50 for persons living north of township 54, which means the area north of Prince Albert National Bark. It includes part of the park. Hon. J. M. Uhrich, minister of public health, who was in charge of the bill, stated that many residents in the northern settlements often were long distances away from mar- riage license issuers, 'and that as a result, getting a marriage license caused them much more trouble and greater expense than it did to those living in the more settled parts. of the province. As a means of com- pensating these residents, the license fee has been reduced to $2.50.
