Oi tlie fol lowing (lay, Alaire secured her pass- I| ports fromn the federal hieadquiiari ters hi across tlie Rio Grande., N1 while Jose at tentled to the railroald tickets.

The s coiaches were crowled; womien fanned themselves unceasingly ; their nen snored, op~en-iniouthied, over thme backs of the seats, and the aisles were full of squallinag, squiabblming children. As for the country Itself, it wvas dy lng. 'rhe ranches were stripped of stock, no carts creaiked along thme high waiys, andl( the r-oads, hike thle little farms, were growing up to weeds.

LESSON TEXT-John 15:1-13. GOLDEN TEXT-I am the vine, ye are the branches.-John 15:5. This lesson chronologically follows that of last Sunduy. Christ had risen with his disciples from the supper ta ble (14:31), and the remainder of his discourse may have occurred in an up y'- fot, or in the courtyard of the fwr.Ace before they left the city, or on the way to the garden of Gethsemane. I. THE ABIDING LIFE (vv. 1.4). Unaer the figure of the vine Jesus teaches spiritual truth by natural analogy. The vine is composed of roots, stein, branches, tendrils, and fruit. There is no separate life: the branches are one with the vine. Christ is the head of that body which is the church to its least member. The life lived by the Christian is Christ's life humanized, the purpose of which is fruit bearing. Discipline is in order to fruitfulness. "Ie (My Father, the vine-dresser) cuts away any branch on .me which is not bearing fruit, and cleans every branch which does bear fruit, to make it bear richer fruit" (Moffat's translation). Paul tells us that "no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous but grievous: nevertheless, afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby." The Word is the cleansing agent (17: 17). Verse four suggests a double abiding-we in him, and le in us the branch depending upon the vine for life. and the vine depending upon the branch for fruit. Jesus had just been talking about, his approaching death. and his disciples were full of anxiety. He tells then not to be trou bled, and by this figure assures them, that, though he would leave them, he would still be joined to themt. Al though they had been niade clean, they are taught that the only wity to keep clean Is by "abiding." which is to be continued through the eternal spirit after his decease and asent to the Father. "It is given to us to hold fellowship with both the root that twines itself about the cross and the tendrils which stretch upward to I glory."-A. J. Gordon. So long as we think of ourselves, and not of Christ, as the source of power, we shall miss the secret of fruitfulness. 1i. The Pruitful Life (vv. 5-8). - f we abide In him we will bring forth much fruit. Note the progresslon: "fruit," "more fruit," "much fruit." If a the branch does not bear fruit it is fit f only for fuel (Isa. 27:11). "If ye aibido Sin me, an. my words abide in you, ye I shall ask what ye wili, and it shall be s done unto you" (v. 7). Our first fruit is to glorify God (v.. 8 Te vinie does :1 not consume the fruIt which it pro duces, though it does exist for its pro d (uction. thtus glorifying Godr through e its fruit-bearing function. The Bib~le o uses many figures to illustrate the in itimnate relationship between root and ti fruit. "Without me," emphasizes y- Christ, "ye can (10 nothing." The o "word" of verse three is equivalent to the word "I" of verse four. "Nowv ye are clean through the word which I d have spoken unto you" (v. 3). Our Sfruit bearing is for God's glory be cause it Is an expression of his grace rand power, and it is made possible through our identification with his dear son. Our fruitfulness attests our Christian character. We have not yet attainedl perfection in our conduct, but we are making progress. Progressive (deliverance from the power of sin is Vcounterbalanced by corresponding ,, fruitfulness. til. The Permanent Life (vv. 9-13). "Fruit," "more fruit," "much fruit.' Even as the life of Christ has increas ingly manifested itself through the ages, so our indlividual lives are to eincrease in the fruitfulness which as similates them to his character and expresses his graces. As the Father -e has loved him, so hats lie loved us, and this love he communicates to thosc who abide in him. The evidence 01 t- our abilding is manifested biy our joy a in keeping his commandments, just as lie delighted in keeping his father'n Ccommandments. Obedience andl joy dare correlated terms. The fuller thr obedience the greater the Joy. Bush Inell said: "Heaven is nothing but tim it Joy of a perfectly harmonized being a filled with God and his love," Instead of minute, detailed instructions re a garding their condluct, the disciplen i are here presented with love, the gov-* erning principle. Love was to be the one suffient impulse for both divion ~r and human relationships. Our Lon 1s wouldl have the world know his serv. y ants by the fruit they bear. .gThree things are mentioned as re 'suiting from the abiding life; power :0to bear much fruit; transform lives and change circumstances through an swered prayer; and fullness of joy--a S"joy unspeakable and full of glory." The wvorld with its poor counterfeits haus nothing like it to give, but all of these gifts are contingent upon our "abiding" in Christ, the source of ev ery blessing. The personal pronoun .suggests peculiarly intimate relation ' ships: "My Father'," (vv. 1, 8, 10); "My love," (V. 9) ; "My disciples," (v. 8) ; "My cojrmandments," (v. 10)' 'My -jny," (v. 11).
