LESSON XII—MAR OI x$ "Jesus Teaches Sineerity"--Mark 7: Golden Text—Keep thy heart with diligenee; for out of it. are the issues of life.—Prov. 4:23. The Lesson In Its Setting ' Time—April, A.D., 29, in the third, year of Christ's ministry, Place—Capernaum. Empty Forms "And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who . had come from jerusalem". Very likely some of the religious leaders from jerusalem had returned with the scribes and Phari- sees of Galilee. They had .hpard of the attempt to make Christ king and of His popularity, and, fearing for their own influence, inaugurated this new attack upon our Lord . "And had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled, that is, unwashen hands." Mark was writing chiefly for the Christians in Rome, who would not understand jewish terms, and would take "defil- ed" in a literal sense if he did not ex - ,41 plain it. „v "For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands diligently, at not." The word trans- lated "diligently" means, literally, "with the fist," and is understood to imply that the washing was perform- ed by closing the fist of ode hand " and rubbing it on the' open palm of other hand, both being plunged into ater; •then the operation- was re- peated, thehands being reversed. It is told of the Rabbi Akiba that when he was a prisoner, supplied with only enough water to keep him alive, he preferred to use it for these formal washings, and so died of thirst. The Jews praised this act highly. "Hold- ing the tradition of the elders." These rulefor •ceremonial washings were not contained in the Old Testament, but they had grown up around the writings of Moses through the inter- pretations and additions of Jewish scribes and Rabbis, "The 'tradition of the elders' was an expedient for attaching the authority of Moses to the later teachings of the scribes." "And when they come from the • market -place." The central square of ) the town, where open-air buying and selling were conducted, and many business transactions darried out. L he phrase is almost equivalent to "When they come from their day's work." "Except they bath themselves, they eat not." A washing of the entire body, and not merely of the hands, is here to be understood, since in the crowds of all sorts of people, many of them- Gentiles, that filled the mar- • ket place, orthodox Jews would, be • quite certain to incur •cerenaonial de- filement by contact with persons tech- nically unclean. "And many other things there are, which they have re- ceived to hold, washings of cups, and potsA and brazen vessels. The 'cups were ordinary drinking cups of earthenware or metal; the pots were pitchers of wood or stone; the brazen vessels were cooking pots of copper or brass. k , "And the Pharisees and the scribes I ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the old', ers, but eat their bread with defiled hands?" The aneients regarded clean- liness as very important, establishing many public baths and spending much • time in them.. Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites These scribes and Pharisees were ac ing religion but didn't possess the rea ity of it, as they proved, by their ho tility to Christ, the• worker of goo deeds and teacher of noble truth "As it is written, this people Iloilo eth me with their lips." God himse is the speaker. "This people" refe to Isaiah's conntrymen. "But the heart is far from me." • Where w their heart? With self seeking; wit greed, with pride and arrogance, wit conceit and hatefulness. Where thes are, God is not; they are at the fartl est extreme from God. "But in vain do they worship Axle Worship of God, should produce th finest and most blessed of result a noble character, :peace in, the hear joy in the life, rich friendships, righ eousness, an eternity of bliss. Suc false worship as ishere describe worship that is only a parade o forms and ceremonies, producesn good result whatever. "Teaching a their. doctrines the precepts of 'men. Religious teaching must be based o the Word of God, or it will totter an fall. -, True worship, like all other, nobl acts, requires preparation.

For worship is ,somethin More than either the fear of 'God o the love of Him. It is delight:. i Him.' Vain .Traditions "Ye leave the doinmandment God, and, hold fast the tradition o men." The scribes andl Pharisees no only erected their own rules of wor ship and of daily 'conduct, assigning to them ,divine santity and authority but they had the audacity actually to substitute them for the true laws o God. Ceremony and form drove On genuine prayer, and love of the Bible, and love. of God, and obedience to God's commands.. "And he said unto them, Full well do ye reject the •commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradi- tion." Under the guise of expansions of the laws of Moses and explana- tions of nein, the scribes and Phari- sees were really rejecting the laws of Moses. The spirit of two sets of laws was antagonistic: With one • dwelt freedbm, with the other oppression. They could not both be true, "For Moses said, Honor thy Father and thy mOther," The "first com- mandment with promise." Moses said it, but God first said it to Moses. "But.ye say, if a man shall say to his father or his Mother, That,where- vial thou mightiest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Giv- en to God." "The word corban is a Hebrew Word, meaning 'that which is brought near', a gift or offering to God."' "Ye 'no longer suffer him to do aught for his father or his mother." Even it he should change his mind, and want to help his father and mo- ther in their poverty, he had, by that magic word, "Corban," "Devoted," re - roved his possessions from his own reach; the priests would see to that. • "Making void the word of God by you?. tradition, -which ye have deliv- ered." The Word of God required filiaT piety, respect for the aged par- ents, pity for their poverty and neces- sities, eagerne'ss to minister to their needs. "And many such like things ye do". The refinements upon these rules . seem • almost endless. It was stipulated bow much water must be used in washinig the hands, and, just holm far the water should go up the wrist; the more pious washed the hands at the close as well as at the beginning of a meal, and even be- tween the courses. • A Pure Heart 'Exterior Defilements".

There were chums, hay carriers and ]adders, but the bulk of the eleven thousand individual shipments were pumps and washing machines which had already been sold by Beatty Brothers in farm and rural communities. Fifteen hundred merchants in Western Canada par- ticipated in the shipment which was handled as a special train by the Canadian Pacific through to Vancouver. Cars were dropped at Winnipeg, Cal- gaF 7, Saskatoon, Regina and Edmonton, distribution being fairly general. The large number of pumps going forward sug- gests that the Western farmer has decided to carry no more water if his housekeeper will do no more washing.

A large hole was burned in the oil -cloth, the flame catching the table -cloth and burning it and part of the leaf of the table. The window curtains caught r fire from the table, and when they were consumed the fire went out without causing further damage. Even the lower rungs of the chair on which Mrs. Gilkinson was sitting were charred. When her husband returned home the invalid, lady and everything else in the room were black from the smoke. It is indeed fortunate that the fire burned itself out so soon, or the helpless woman would no doubt, have been burned to death." SAYS CLEAN SEED BED IS ALSO ESSENTIAL "The purchase of a supply of gov- ernment tested seed grain froin.a re- liable source is not enough' to insure a clean crop and a clean farm," states W. H. Wright, of the Dominion seed branch. "A supply of clean tested seed grain is a big help, because well cleaned seed is free of weed seed's and the grain is plump, insuring a yield of from five to fifteen per cent. but two other conditions must also be greater than that from uncleaned seed, right if the maximum results are to be obtained. Before sowing the seed grain, the field must be cleaned up as well as possible and any clover sown with the grain must also be clean," 'Too often, according to Mr. Wright one will go to a lot of trouble in se- curing clean, plump, seed grain and then sow it on a dirty field filled With millions of ungerminated weed seeds, If this field was cultivated, a few times before the seed went in these Weeds would sprout and be kill- ed and the grain would have a reason- able chance of turning out a clean crop., Sometimes when the field is cleaned up and the best seed grain purchased, some untested cover seed is drilled in with it. The Clover which may contain two. or three per cent. of weed seeds, although these may not be detected by the average man, will pollute the field unci nul- lify the advantage Of buying the test- ed grain, "Getting clean, tested seed.;" con- tinues Jr. Wright, is an essential step in cleaning up the farm and in- creasing the sive of the crops, :brit Inind in hand with this unist go clean cultivation and just asHnuch rare ,in selecting' the clover tit alfalfa Seed as is used:in getting the seed grain,";— FainilyHeraid and Weekly Star. :A„11-,,tta's • .1 ills ‘1;,i1 I' 1.1 hell the • v, -aa sold to • • • t. for more • 4 t ' new litellerS. 1,1 {,,t,11 ro., 10k0 ' • ,rz Illy The fIrni, t— def, has , 1 11,s • BELMORE Our sick are Peter Hackney, Geor- ge Herd, Jame si Lawrence, • Mrs, John Duffy, Huntingfield, 'e- ncwed acquaintances in the village last week.
