J K | ^ THE SABBATH SCHOOL INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS FOR DECEMBER 16. Subject: Zaeeheus thi' Publican, six., 110?Oolden Text: I.ukc xix., 10? Memory Verse*, 8-10? Commentary on the Day's Lesson. 1. "And passed through." "Was passing through." lR. V.) Zaeeheus evidently lived in the city. Tidings of the approach of Christ and Ilis apostles must ha%-e preceded Him. Since the raising of Lazarus, a short time before this, the fame of Jesus had spread throughout this part of the country, and many were anxious to see Him. 2. "A man named Zaeeheus." He was a Jew by birth (v. 9), but because he had engaged in a business so infamous in the eyes of the Jews, he was considered as a mere heathen. V. 7. Zaeeheus is the Greek form of the Hebrew "Zaccai," and means "pure." The meaning of his name was in sharp contrast with his character, which seems to have been bad, for he confessed to Jesus that he had, at least in some cases, taken money from his fellowtownsmen by swearing falsely against them before the magistrates. "Chief among the publicans." At Jericho was located one of the principal custom-houses. The trade in balsam was extensive, and Zaeeheus was evidently superintendent of the tax collectors who had the oversight of the revenue derived from that article. "He was rich." And like many rich men had not alwavs come honestly by his money. It was no credit to him that he was rich. 3. "Sought to see Jesus." At this time Zaccheus must have had conviction of sin. He was not satisfied with riches and his dishonest, wicked life. "Who he was." Reports of the miracles and teachings of the Great Prophet were current, and there was great excitement on all hands. But probably the thing that interested Zaccheus more than all else was that Jesus was paying especial attention to the publicans. "Could not for the crowd." (R. V.) This was the crowd that surrounded Jesus after He had healed blind Bartimeus; the people were all praising God. Luke 18: 43. Jesus was walking among them with nothing to distinguish Him from the others. "Little of stature." Because of this Zaccheus could not see over the heads of the multitude. Zaccheus is a typical character, the type of many who are wanting to see Christ, but who are spiritually too short to sec Him. 4. "And he ran before." He laid aside his dignity as "chief publican" and ran along the road over which they were coming. "Climbed up into a sycamore tree." Properly "sycomore" as in R. V. A tree with a short trunk and wide lateral branches. It grows to a largt* size, sometimes to a circumference of fifty feet and is evergreen. The sycomore tree is a type of the means which are provided by which we may overcome difficulties. Zaccheus was in earnest and did not allow the crowds to stop him. 5. "He looked up and saw him." While Zaccheus had secured a place where he might tee Jesus he was made so prominent that Jesus could at once see him. It was natural enough for Jesus to look at Zaccheus, but the truly divine part was in that He fathomed his heart and understood its longing better than Zaccheus himself had done. "Zaccheus." Whom He had never seen in the flesh, and of whom He had probably never heard. "Make haste and come down." Zaccheus had desired to see Jesus, but now he is permitted to converse with Him. He that has a mind to know Christ shall be known of Him. "To-day." It i6 not known whether He stopped merely for a mid-day rest or tarried over night. "I must." A divine plan, fixing every event in our Lord's ministry. Christ applies the greatest principle to the smallest duty. What was this "must?" To stop for an hour or two on His way to Jerusalem and save a sinner. Nothing is too trivial to be brought under the dominion of law, and to be regulated by the divine will. 6. "He made haste." He had not expected to have the honor of being noticed, much less to entertain the Royal Guest. He hastens with joy to show Him all due respect and receive Him into his house. Receiving Him into his house betokens his receiving Him into his heart. 7. "When they saw it." The crowd of Jews murmured. It required courage to meet the prejudices of a nation, but Jesus always had courage to do the right. "To be a guest." Thus recognizing Zaocheus as an equal, socially. "A sinner." Publican was synonymous with sinner and heathen. The Jews did not keep promises with murderers, thieves and publicans. The synagogue's alms box must not receive their alms. It was not lawful to use riches reVvv fVinm nnr rnillH t.hpv llltfaft fir give testimony in court. Hence we see what a breach of Jewish notions it was for Jesus to eat with a publicar, or be a guest at his home. 8. "Stood." Before Christ and the apostles and whatever guests were present. "The half of my goods," etc. Some consider this to mean that he had already done this, but it is far mote probable that he now determines to use his property foi God and humanity. A few days before this Jesus had shown how difficult it was for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven, but, difficult as it is, here is a rich man entering in. Contrast this with the action of the rich young ruler. A strong evidence of a change of heart is this change of practice. Liberality would not lead to repentance, but repentance leads to liberality. "If?by false accusation." The "if" does not imply doubt; he has taken money wrongfully. 9. "Is salvation come." Z&ccbcus was saved, delivered from his past sins ai\d ma4e "a new creature." Proof was ample: 1. He had received Jesus gladly. - ? * .-J ?j ?r j 4 -cr | '?. ne naa repenteu wu i-uuicsku. ?. had pledged himself to make restitution. 4. He had turned his riches over to God, to be used for the good of others. "Son of Abraham." Inasmuch as hev has repented and is forgiven, Zaccheus is as good a son of Abraham as though he had never been a sinner. 10. "f3 come to seek." While Zaccheua was so desirous of seeing the Saviour Jesijs was more desirous to sat and save him. He had made a journey to Jericho for the purpose of seeking him out and saving him. "Which was lost." A man may be lost in more senses than one. Lost in sin, lost in the crowd of men, lost in doubt and fear, lost to his proper use and joy in the world. In whatever sense we may be lost, His purpose is to find and save us. * CURES BLOOD POISON. Trial Treatment Free. Permanent cure guaranteed by using 4 to 16 bottles of B. B. B.

The Late Senator Davis. The late Senator Cushman K. Davis was not only a fine lawyer, but a deep student of literature as well. He spoke, read and wrote French and Italian fluently, and nothing delighted him more than the Greek and Latin poets in their originals. He was known as one of the foremost students of Shakespeare of the present day, and in his home he had a magnificent library*. A remarkable thing about this library was that there was not a single law book ir. the collection, for during the las: twenty years of his life he made it a rule never to bring his business cares to his fireside.
