ege. In the parable that follows, Christ
warns hint and the others that the pri•
vilege will ey no wens be so generaily
recognized or embraced by the Jewieli
people as was connnonly thought.-Ilone
COM. In the kingdom of Goa -The Wag-
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 carnal Jew here speaks, ac-
cording to the received sense of his na-
tion, as of a gloriuus temporal kingdom,
in which the )ews should lord it over the
Gentile world, enjoy their wealth, and
be provided witn all temporal blessiugs
and delights, in which they place them
happiness. -Whitby . This expresses, in
an Orieatal way, the desire they had GI
being members of that kingdom and of
sharing in its benefits.
10. 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 Le
offered to them under the most favor-
able circumstances, yet they would te-
ject it, preferring carnal to spiritual
blessings, while, in the meantime, the
Gentiles would embrace tliegospel 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 aarable of
the wedding feast (Matt. xxii. 2). A
great supper -Representing the rich and
almadant provisions of the gospel. "Only
two regular meals are ordinarily partak-
en of m Eastern lands. A lighter se -
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 Ineal. shortie before or after sun-
set, called, indifferently, dinner or sup-
per." -Canon Tristram. Bade many
The Jewish nation. "This general en-
nouneement 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 world 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 eospel message and. issued a
call to the Jewesb people, The same call
was afterwards .given to the Gentiles, and
such is the invitation now extended to
us. That were hidden -"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 time." 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 hail
come when the Jews must decide ahete-
er they would accept the Messiah or not.
The fitte of the nation, as well as of each
individual, depended on their decision.
To all men now comes the ineitation.
It is as wide as humanity. It is lofty
as the love of God, and ample as the
wants of man. 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."
II. The excuses. made (vs, 18-20). 18.
They all -But few of the scribes and
Pharisees responded to Christ's invita-
tion. Began to make cuse--In worldly
affairs people woulcl be anxious to ac-
cept an invitation to such a "supper,"
but in religious matters it is very dif-
ferent. Men are unwilling to accept the
offers of salvation. Why is this so?
To come to this feast itnplies the giving
up of somethine that seems more desir-
able than the 'feost. The first said -
When the time <tame they all refused
to enter in, each oaring scene excuse.
"The ultimate ground of their refusal
was that they felt no real desire, and
saw nothing attractive in such a feast,
and had no reverence for the host." They
were typical exemeee: 1. Cares of wealth.

creasing eudenees of the speakers. The
first pleads a "must needs"; the second
merely states his intention -"I go"; the
third says, bluntly, "I cannot," and
omits the courtesy of asking to be ex-
cused,. The true lesson from all three
is, that innocent and right things keep
men away from the gospel feast. -Mac.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
Jesus contrasted the feast given by
man, where the guests were SO anxious
for the chief seats, for the feast given
by God, where the guests have Co be
constrained to come. Concerning this
"great supper" we see that the call was,
I. Fiendly. "A cetain 1111111" (v. 16)..
Cod 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
ie 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 might Ile for-
ever surrounded with dear ones; cruel.
fled, 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 dispeuse to us of his
bounty Luke x11. 37). The Holy Spirit
will show us the glories, and see that we
are abundantly satisfied (Rom. xiv. 17).
The angels, with intense rejoicing, will
welcome. us (Luge XV. 10). We sriall sit
down with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob;
with patriarchs, prophets, poets and
apostles, whose names are household
words (Luke xiii. 28, 29). The authors
we have communed with until they seem
like persona) friends will greet us there.
The teachers we have loved, whose busy
lives kept them 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 eot control, the
little ones we have laid away with ten-
der longing, those "we have loved and
hist 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. Free. Come, (v. 17). Blessed are
they which are called unto the marriage
supper of the Lamb. (Rev. xix. 9.)
IV. Full. All things (v. 17.) 1. Pardon
for sins. "By him all that believe are
justified from all things" (Acts. xiii. 39).
2. Purity for sin. "The blood of Jesus
Christ His Son cleanseth us from all
sin" (1 John i. 7, 9). 3. Priesthood for
intercession. "He that spared not His
own Son, but delivered Him up for us all,
how shall He not with Him also freely
give us all things? ....Christ..maketh
intercession" (Rom. viii. 32-34). 4. Peace
for anxiety. "And we know that all
things work together for good.
V. Foolishly neglected. "And they all
with one consent began to make ex-
cuse" (v. 18. The excuses were foolish
and rude. "The reason why all who were.
hidden to the supper refused to come,
Was that they preferred something else."
"The servant said, Lord. it is done" (v.
22). The issues that depend upon the
faithfulness and correctness of the ser-
eiee which God intrusts to us are over-
whelming "Go out" (v. 21, 23). Do.
dot wait foe men to come to you; go.
to them. People will not come to the go'
pel feast, except they are invited. "Go
out quickly" (v. 21.) There is no time to
lose. Go quickly, with holy urgency, with
undying zeal, with tender longing. "None
of those men which were bickled shall
taste of my supper' (v. 24.)

up before Magistrate Kingsford on Sat-
urday. It is a case in which no election
mill be taken, and only an investigation
can be held in the Police Court. Tile
information was is very short and direct
one. It charged tluit the two persons
elid slay and kill Agnes Bridant."
Mr. Neville rose to make a request,
"Is there any way in which we can ar-
range to allow this Alan to attend his
wife's funeral ?" he enquired.
The magistrate replica in the nega-

Mr. Neville pressed his point. There
was no doubt that affection existed be-

man, he said, and surely it would not
be against the spirit of the law to make
arrangements for him to see his dead
wife once again. A policeman might be
sent with lum.
"No, 1 cannot make any such mkt,"
answered Mr. Kingsford, "You will
have to appeal to a higher court."
