INTERINATIONAL LESSON III -JAN,
20, I907..
Meede Sin and God's Promise. -Gen. iiL
i-6, z3 -z5.
Commentary, -I. The temptation (vs.
1.5), 1. The serpent -"That it was a, real
terpeat is evident from the plebe and art/
leas style of the history, and from the
many allusions made to it in the New
Testament. But the material serpent
es -as the instrument or tool of a higher
agent, Satan, to whom the sacred writers
, apply from this incident the reproachful
name of the serpent,' 'the old dragon.'
Though Moses makes no mention of the
wicked spirit, giving only the history of
the visible world, yet in the fuller dis-
coveries of the gospel, it is distinctly
intimated that Satan was the author of
the plat." See John -N.M. 44, IL Cor. xi.
3, I, John iii, 8, T. Tim. ii. 14, Rev. xx. 2.
More subtil-Serpents are proverbial for
wisdom (Matt. x. 10). But "these rep-
tiles were at first, probably far superior
in beauty as well as in sagacity to what
they are in their present states" He said

wounds theheel that ernshes him; and
so Satan would be perraitted to afflict
the humanity of Christ, and bring suf-
fering and persecution (in his people.
"As the serpent was but the instrument
of the devil, so the curse pronounced
has a a eenor application to Satan and.
his seed. The baseness, the crawling, the
dust -eating, and the heel -biting of ser-
pents symbolize the 'habits of the old
serpent, the devil. 'Head' and 'heel' may
denote the strong contrast between the
methods of contest of these two eternal
foes.

tolls her own
,f1;0 of how elle
the terrible
pment health,
as the tempter could not assume the
human form,
there being only one Adam
and Eve in the world, the agency of an
inferior creature bad to be employed.
Tinto. the woman --Though sinless and
holy, she was a free agent liable to be
tempted. Bath Cod said -9s it true
that he halt restricted you in using the
• fruits of this delightful place? This is
not like one so good and kind. Surely
there is some mistake. He insinuated a
doubt as to their sense of the divine -will,
and appeared as 'an angel of light' (II.
Gor. xi. 14), offering to lead her to the
true interpretation."
2. We may eat -"Eve resists the first
assault by looking at the largeness of
her privileges. God has given us the
!fruit of the trees of the garden, and
there is a vast amount of pleasure for
forbiden thing, and not at the great
blessings they were enjoying."
3 The tree -"The tree of the knowl-
edge of god and evil' (Gen. ii. 17.) It
was placed in the garden as a moral
test. The object was not to cause their
downfall, but to test their integrity.
Satan tempts; God tests. Tempting hot-
lines a desire that the tempted should.
yield and sin; testing implies the desire
that the tested should stand the test.
, Strength and courage are developed
through teats. Those who have no trials
and tests are weaklings. Shall not eat
-Eve shows that she is not in doubt re-
garding the restrictions placed upon
them, or the penalty that would follow
if the command were. disobeyed. Eve
roade a mistake in parleying with the
tempter. The one who stops to talk
with Satan is on dangerous ground. The
only safe way is to "resist the devil"
instantly. 4. Shall not surely die -
Satan now comes out in his true charac-
ter is "the father of lies." In this he
i
- • tacitly appeals to the fact of her own
imersortality, a fact which she may well
be supposed to be aware of. But God re-
ferred to spiritual death, or separation
from hiruself-and the devil knew this,
hence the enormity of the lie. A half
truth told adroitly is often the worst
kind of a lie. "Death as the wages of
sin (Rom. vi. 23) includes not only tem-
poral death, or the death of the body,
with all the ills attendant upon a state
of mortality, but also spiritual death,
or the alienation of the soul from God
who is the only source of spiritual life
(Eph. ii. 1); and, lastly, everlasting
death, or final exclusion from God and
holiness and blessedness (Matt. xxv.
41)."-Gren.
5. God doth know -The tempter -re-
flects upon God, as thongh he were ma
willing to permit them to enjoy the best
geings. Opened -And so they were to
«he fact that they ha dlost the purity
of their moral character. Instead of be-
ing open to new visions of happiness,
wisdom, glory and knowledge, they were
open only to sin, misery and remorse.
See vs. 7, 11. Shall be as God (R. V.) -
The object of the tempter appears to
have been to persuade our first parents
that they should, by eating of this fruit,
become wise and powerful as God, and
be able to exist forever, independently
of hine-Clerke.
II. The fall (v. 0). 0. Good for food-
, The temptation was• threefold corres-
•
..e,' ponding to 1 John ii. 30. At firse the
temptation was to oat bemuse it was
good for f ood, corresponding to "thehist
, of ,the flesh." A delight to the eyes (R,
.V..) -An appeal to the higher sense of
beauty -"the lust of the eye." She was
at last completely overthrown., "Tse
confluence of all these. trcanis made
'such a current as swept the feeble will
completely away; and blinded, dazed,
deafened by the rush of the stream, Eve
was tarried over the falls as 0. men
might be over Niagara."-Maclarem. Ve-
to her husband -Adam sinned with his
eyes open. Pani says he was not de-
eeived (1 Tim. ii. 14.)
III. The voice of God (vs, 7-13). Af-
, ter their fall their eyes were opened and
• they knew that they were naked. They
were conscious of guilt and unworthiness
In. each other's eyes and in the. sight of
, aod. Instead of turning to God for for-
. giveneas they endeavored by their own
- • effortsi to cover their sin and shame by
making aprons. 13. Serpent beguiled
! -Deeeived me by flattering lea.° This
sin committed by Adam and Eve was
• . . heinous and aggravated. It was not sim-
. ply eating an apple, but a love of self,
dishonor to God, ingratitude to a bene -
i factor, disobedience to the best of Mas-
4es- prefe.renee of the creature to
the Creator.
• ' TV. A great promise (vs. 14, 15). 14.
r 'Thou art cursed-Tt is believed byrnany
1 that before the fall the serpent went
1 0 ri ht and had an entirely different
!wee alone. Re wilt always attack you
at the weakest point. Tie coacealed him-
self and spoke. through a fascinating ser-
peet. He 'does mot 00101S in demoniac
form with cloven foot. Not by startling
manifestations; but in Settle common
events, does Satan, overthrow us.
2. A liken "Yea, hatit God said" (v. 1).
As A. 33. Sianpson suggests, Sattan's 4iret
word was sin unielueiving ]ie, an un-
qualified "Yea," a oomplete aseeme to
everything he 'was about to question and
dieny. Tie took sides with Eve. Tie .pre-
fers to fight from our ‘side of the field.
Be would rather work from a Oheistian
pulpit than WV infidel platform. To
checkmate him, read him by contraries.
Treat his rprokees as curses and his
threats as :pledges of divine blessing.
3. A derc.eivor. "Ye Shull not surely
die" (v. 4). Satan dared to tell Bve that
she might disobey God's precept :and.
incur any penalty. He prorndaed life
when God had foretold death. Yet Flee
dkl die spiritually at once, and physic-
ally afterward. The devil promised, "Ye
shall be as gods," but omitted to add
that to be lord .of her own life end mas-
ter of her own will would he the greatest
possible curse. Re concealed the fact
that with the newly acquired knowtedge
of "good and evil" she model tore desire
to do good and power to resist evil. To
know evil by becoming evil is ever a
OUThe. "Wild oats" yield only sin and
misery, "Men have looked into the cra-
ter of a volcano and gone down to ex-
plore without coming, back."
4. A slanderer. "God dab kneser...:',',0%,
5). He accused G'od of failseihoodand
reproached His power and goodees.
"God's lenv cannot be reprouiehed emboss
it be fiat misrepresented." It is "holy,
and just, and good" (Dom. vii. 12)..
"Good," hence the .permiseion, "Of every
tree 'of thegarden 'thou mare -est freely
eat" (Gen. ii. 16); "holy," hence the peo-
hibition, "Of the tree ,of keteeeedge of
good and evil, thou ,shalt not eat of it"
(Gem ii. 17) "just." hence the peirittty,
"For in the day that thou eatest theme
-
of thou shalt surely die."
IT. The sinner. "The woman- .saw
..took....gave" (v. 6). live listened
to the devil's "Yea" instead of God's
"Xo;" saw a thing good, pleasant and
desirable, where God had said there was
death; took of that which God had for-
bidden; multiplied evil by passing the
temptation on to others.
1. Eve listened. Her omitting three
im.portant words in her rendering of
God's commandment showed that she
had entertained the devil's insinuation
in her heart. 2. Eve looked. She did
not turn nwey her "eyes from beholding
vanity" (Psalm lifir 37). She "PsW that
the tree was good for food," 3. Eve
took. Tier sin is aptly defined by a
poor laborer of Enaland. 'When asked
by an infidel how God. could be suppos-
ed to destroy Adam nnd his descendants
only for eating an apple. he replied, "It
was not that our first parents had eat-
en of some kind. of fruit it was that
they had disobeyed God." 4. Ere gave.
When we sin, we drag those that are
clearest down with us. Sin is horribly
c.ontagious; terribly defiling, sadly pro-
lific.
ITT. The shame. "They knew that
they were naked" (le 7). The first ef-
fect of sinis shame. They made them-
selves aprons. Symbol of the miserable
excuses of the vile., the eelfoighteoes-
ness of the moral, the "filthy rags" of
every sinner.
IV. The search. "Where art thou"
(v. a). The change was not in him, but
in them. He earne "walking," deliberate-
ly, as one slow in anger; came "in the
cool of the day," not at midnight, when
fear is doubly fearful. "The Lord God
called unto Adam." The Savior sought
,the sinner.
V. The sentence. 1. upon the ser-
pent (v. 14), Sin tunes everything in
league with it. Ever to he an object les-
son of the an'fulness of sin and the ter-
.
Way of retribution. 2. 'Upon the woe
man, "Sorrow... .subject" (v. '10, mend
gin). A mother's pays; weeleiteis and
anguish in the perp4uation of th.V..race.
A wife's snbjeation; her will yieldeal to
that of her husband, 4:- Upen the man
(vs. 1749), He should eat with Sorrow,
toil, fatigue and distress until distaee,
decay and death should bring him to
his great?, 4. Upon the earth, "Thorns
.thistles" (v. 18). Man partook of
earth's forbidden fruit, and had forever
in its curse of thorns and thistles a per-
petual reminder of his fatal trensgres.

A GERMAN PLOT.
An Amazing Story of Intrigue Diselbse&
by a Berlin Newspaper,
Berlin, Jan. 7, -An amazing, story -
of a. plot for the seizure by Germany -
of the Island of Fernando Po, belinige
ing to Spain is published by tile' Medi,-
nische Volkszeitnng.
The plot is said to have been' reveal-
ed by Herr Erzberger, a prominent
deputy, at a. recant confidential meet-
ing of the Budget Committee of thee
Reichstag.
According to Herr Erzberger. Dre
Semler, a prominent Liberal deputy,.
approaehed a. Gorman eolonial ad -Ven-
turer named Gorne, in. 1904, and' stiedo.
this extraordinary propositions Gorre.
was to settle in Remade Po and start
a farm. or any eorronereial enterprise.
he liked. The Deutsche Bank, which
Se in close touch with the German
C.overnment, was to lend him $50,000
for the purpose.
After settling in Fernando Po Gorne.
was first to provoke a dispute with
the Spanish authorities. and then to
organize a rebellion for the purpose of
obtaining possession of the island. A
German Consul, who would he ap-
pointed immediately after his arrival-,
would intervene and the support

ing.
Dr. Semler. who is a member of the.
Budget Committee. admitted at the,
secret meeting referred to that he had-
eorelected negotiations with Gorne in

BRADSTREET'S TR.1DE REVIEW.
Montreal -Trade in almost all lines is sea-
sonably quiet at tee present moment. Toe
Christmas trade is over and both the whole-
nelers and retailers express great satisfac-
tion with the volume of business done. Dry -
seeds travellers are to and they tne prepar-
ing for the spring shipments. The spring -
business has been particularly good so far.
Remittances mad collectioas Lave been com-
ing forward well. The grocery trade is quiet-
er. but still unusually heavy for this season
of the year. Sugars have declined ten cents
per Intadred lbs., but almost all other lines
are very firmly held. The supply of cantied
vegetables looks to be short already. The
hardware trade has been exueer1ingly heevy
for a long time, but things are UM a little
auleter and jobbers are looking forward to
gettieg an opportunity ti take stock, Values
hold firm. Conntry retail trade still hale'

Toronte-As is usual at tbls week of the
year there is little actual trade moving. lo

been the best Christmas season they have
ever experienced. In silk neckwear, it may
be mentiened, the new tariff will have the
effect of lowering the quality of goods sold

mand for general lines of hardware and for
metals has kept up surprisingly well, Values
are firm. The movement to groceries has
been heavy. Dried fruits awl most lines
of canned goods continue scarce and emu.

SWALLOW'S FLIGHT IS RAPIldit
The French scientific weekly,: Ciel el

about the epeed of several birds, as ob-
served by .Anguet Versheurin of Ant-

the swallow (290 feet a second) seemed
exaggerated to him and he undertook
some experiments en his own hook.

Compeigne; the swallow took a north-
ern direction as quick as lightning. while
the pigeons made several spirals in the
air before they started in the same d:r-
ectien. The swallow arrived at he neat
in Antwerp at 8.23, a number of wit-

The first pigeons only arrived nt their

is about double the speed of an exprese
