LESSON IX,
Christia.n Fruitfulness—John 15;1.16
Golden Text.—Herela is rny Fa-
• ther glorified, that ye bear much
fruit; and so shall ye be my disciples.
John 16:8,
The Lesson In Its Setting
Time — Thursday evening, April
6, A.D. 30. ,.--
Plaee—Probably in the upper
room, where the Lord's Supper was
instituted.
The beautiful discourse concern-
ing the vine and the branches is a
part of his wonderful revelation to
his disciples on the night before his
cruciflxiou, Thursday evening of Pas-
sion Week. This long discourse he -
gins with chapter 13, extends through
chapter 16, and is followed by chap-
ter 17, which records the high -priest-
ly prayer of our Lord which he ut-
tered that night, shortly before his
arrest.
1. 1 an the true vine. The nation
of Israel was often, in the Old Testa -
*merit, likened to a vine (Ps. 80:8-
16; Ise. 5:1-7; Jer. 2:21; Ezek. 19:
10-14). Of course the vine here re-
ferred to is the grape vine, which
was so extensively cultivated in
Palestine. This is the seventh and.
last of the famous declarations of
Christ occurring in the Gospel of
John, and only in the Gospel of John,
beginning with the two significant
words am." When Christ speaks
of himself as the true vine, he as-
signs to himself a place no other
person in the universe ever had be-
fore, or ever can have again. There
are not many vines, but one. In that
vine, life flows, and apart from that
vine there is no true life.
If We Are To Bear Fruit
The husbandman expresses a re-
lationship of possession and care on
the one side, and of dependence and
submission on the other.
2. Every branch in me that beareth
not fruit, he taketh it away.
As the fruitless branch has no
living connection with the vine, no
more can the fruitless, professing
Christian with Christ. How, and
when the husbandman takes the fruit -
Jess branch away is left unmention-
ed; there is not one definite way or
time, the process may be gradual.
And every branch that beareth fruit,
cleanseth it, that it may bear more
fruit.
3. Already ye are clean because of
the word which I have spoken unto
you. Everything which .had been
conveyed in his word had been an
agent A of purity, and had tended to
make them clean. His revelations
cleansed their minds like a sweet,
fresh mountain stream flowing into
a stagnant pool. And when the mind
ia cleansed, the heart begins to share
the cleansing.
4 -.Abide in me, and I in you. As
the branch cannot bear fruit of it-
self, except it abide in the vine;
so neither can ye, except ye abide
in rne. 5. I ern the vine, ye are the
branches: He that abideth in me, and
in him, the same beareth much
fruit: for apart from me ye can do
nothing. That peerless expositor,
Dr. Alexander Maclaren, has said
that, by Christ abiding in us and his
words abiding in us, "something a

great deal more than a mere accept-
ance •of Christ is meant, It means
the whole of the conscious nature of
Christ being saturated with Christ's
words, his desires, his understanding,
his affections, his will, all being steep-
ed in the great truths which the Mas-
ter spoke."
We can do many things without
abiding in Christ ---we can go to
church, we can contribute heavily to
Christian causes, we can offer prayer,
and be good students of the Scrip-
tures, But there is one thing we
cannot do, unless our life and ser-
vice spring from our union with the
Lord Jesus, and that is, we cannot
bear fruit.
6. If a man abide not in me, he is
cast forth as a branch, and is with-
ered; and they gather them, and cast
them into the flee, and they are
burned.
Abiding in Christ
7. If ye abide in me, and my word
abide in you,. ask whatsoever ye wil
and it shall be done unto you.
Herein is my Father glorified, that y
bear much fruit; and so shall ye b
my disciples. If we are to live a tru
prayer life with the love, and th
power, and the experience of praye
marking it, there must be no questio
about the abiding, and, if we abide
there need be no question about th
liberty of asking what we will an
the certainty of its being done. Go
is glorified among men when thos
who are Christians are seen to bea
fruit, to live such a life, that th
world cannot help but think of Go
and give him the glory.
9. Even as the Father hath love
me, I also have loved you: abide y
in my love. 10. If ye keep my com
mandments, ye shall abide in in
love; even as 1 have kept my Fath
er's commandments, and abide in hi
love. Here are two fundamenta
facts, which nothing can ever'
change, clearly announced by our
Lord: first, that God loves Christ
and, secondly, tha Christ loves us
What our Lord is urging upon his fol-
loWers is that they should realize in
their own lives these mighty truths
and abide in, the love which Christ
has for them.
11. These things have I spoken un-
to you, that my joy may be in you,
and that your joy may be made full.
It is very, very significant that the
Lord Jesus, with a single exception,
never speaks of kis own joy until the
darkest night of' his life, the night
of his betrayal. The Lord Jesus had a
joy that night which no one could
take away from him because of at
least four things: his knowledge of
God's over -ruling and guidance in ev-
erything that was happening to him;
in his consciousness of the Father's.
love; in his realization that he was
doing the work of God, the greatest
work that anyone could ever do, lay-
ing down his life for men; and, fin-
ally, in the conviction that he was, in
his death, going home to his Father
from whom he had come. Now,
though in a different degree, we hays
exactly the same springs of Mr, and
we have than. because of the. words
which Jesus has given us: we know
that all things work together for
good, that our lives are divinely plan-
ned, that suffering has been fore-
seen by God, and will never destroy
our souls; profoundly do we know
that we are loved by the Father, and
by the Son, and that nothing will
ever separate us from that love; we
too have a divinely bestowed pur-
pose in our lives—naznely, the bear-
ing of fruit; finally, we know that
when we depart- from this life, we
shall be at home with the Father.
12. This is my commandment, that
ye love one another, even as I have
loved you. 13, Greater love hath no
man than this, that a man lay down
his life for his friends.
Friendship's erivileges
V. Friendship with Christ and its
Privileges, John 15: 14, 15. 14. Ye
are my friends, if ye do the things
which I mommand you. 15. No longer
do call you servants; for the ser-
vant knoweth not what his lord do-
eth: but I have called you friends.

of Jesus, the power to enjoy it, the

This, is an electric light bulb, but it would not fit in your floor lamp.
Its size—it is 14 feet high=makes it impossible for such purposes,
and it is also a trifle heavy. It is rnade.ef 6,000 pounds of glass, and
a steel skeleton of the same weight is included in the eneemble. The

Off -screen romance is having a big
influence these days in casting pic—
tures. Paramount has given a three-
year contract to John Barrymore and.
his wife, Elaine Barrie, and will fea-
ture them together in a picture as
soon as a suitable story can be lo-
cated. Making pictures, eatatte b. M.
Barryniore used to be a nig to
directors.
Some days he was three hours late
showing up for work, and sometimes
he disappeared for days. When he
did arrive on time, likely as not he
would make such caustic remarks to
his fellow players that their nerves
were practically shattered. Marriage
to the young and ambitious Miss Bar-
rie has changed all that. She has
grace to prove it in all its blessings
—all come to us as we do the things
.he commands us. " For all things
that I heard from my Father I have
made known unto you. _ These twelve
men were Christ's confidants. Re
opened his heart to them. He kept
nothing back from them.
16. Ye did not choose me, but I
chose you, and appointed you. "The
stability of the connection of friend-
ship between the Lord and his dis-
ciples is assured by the fact that its
origin lies with the Lord and not with
man. That whatsoever ye shall
ask of the Father in my name, he
may give you. "These are the dos-
ing words of the parable of the Vine.
The whole mystery of the Vine and
its branches leads up to the other
mystery—that whatsoever we ask in
His ,name the Father gives! Our
faith in the teaching and the truth
of the parable, in the truth and the
life of the Vine, must prove itself
by power in prayer. The life of
abiding and obedience, of love and
joy, of cleansing and fruit -bearing,
will surely lead to the power of pre-
vailing prayer."
