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

Sabbath with 'secular employment.,

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. •

making a large contribution to the cleaning up 9f
the West.Recently the whole conummity turned
out to see the despatch of a special train of 35 cars,
double -headed with motive power leave for the West
with the largest consignment of washing machines
and pumps ever to be made in Canada. 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.

mentioned evidently is unable to rise

of the fire, but could give no infor-

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

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-

ed grain,
