“Lamb of God that taketh away the

Peace Is-not a compromise with cir
cumstances. It does not come out of
an Intettocifilen which runs after this
fashion: “£et me alone; if you will
be quiet, I will be quiet; let us pro
claim a truce.” Rest Is not a com
promise—li Is a Divine reality in the
,1 heart. Righteousness is rest, holiness
1 Is peace; rectitude with God, coming
through trust in the atonement of God
the Son, means tranquillity deep and
unchanging as the peace of God which
passeth understanding.—Doctor Par
ker.

Real Remedy for Doubt
What then Is the true method? It
& Is the method of practical experiment
Pi 1 Making actual experiment of the
Christian life, one soon finds the
experiment working out. Instead of
seeking to know that he may do, he
does that he may know, and the word
of Christ Is fulfilled—he that wllletb
to do the will of the Father knows by
the doctrine whether It be true. This
is the real remedy for doubt.—W. J-
Dawson.

(By REV. P. U F1TZWATER. D.D., Dean
Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.)
(©. 19 28. Western Newspaner Union.)
Lesson for January 22
JESUS AND THE LAW
LESSON TEXT—Mark 2:18-3:6.
GOLDEN TEXT—Think not that 1
am come to destroy the law. or the
prophets. I am not come to destioy
but to fulfill.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Doing Good on
the Lord's Day.
‘ JUNIOR TOPIC—How to Use the
Lord's Day.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC— How Jesus Obeyed the Law.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC-—Jesus Declares the Higher Law
I. Jesus and Fasting (vv. 18-22).
1. The questions asked (v. 18).
The scribes and pharisees seeing
Jesus eating wit^ the publicans and
siqners, raised the question as to why
He did so. When Jesus heard their
question He declared. “They that are
whole have no need of the physician,
but / they that are sick.” Another
question was then asked as to why
Christ’s disciples did not fast when
the disciples of John and of the phar
isees did fast? John the Baptist was
now in prison, therefore his disciples
were mourning for him.
2. -Christ’s answer (vv. 19, 20). *
In explanation He raised the ques
tion, “Can the children df the bride-
chamber fast while the bridegroom is
1 with them?" He then declared that
as long as they have the bridegroom
with them they cannot fast. The time
will come, however, when they wduld
fast. He is now away. Fasting,
therefore, is appropriate;
3. New Wihe in old bottles (vv. 21,
22).
The bottles mentioned here were
'made of skfos of animals. In the fer
mentation of the wine there was ex
pansion which stretched the skin. To
put new %\lne in the bottle after it
was stretched would cause It to be
rent asunder when ferfhentathoh took
place. The same thing in principle
would be realised if new cloth were
used on old garments. The teaching
designed was to show (he foolishness
of imposing old customs on the new
age.
It. The Disciples Plucking Ears of
Corn on the Sabbath (Mark 2:23-28).
L .The charge made against flip dis
ciples (vv. 23, 24).
Perhaps they yrere oh their tlray to
the- synagogue td worship when they
plucked the eafe of corn. For this
acf the pharisees accused them of
lawlessness.
2. Jesus defends them against the
• harge (vv. 25-28).
($> He cites a precedent (w. 25, 26).
Ho showed them that the very law ^
which they charged the disciples with
breaking recorded the fact that David
the great king of Israel had gone Into
the house of God and eaXCn the bread
which slioqld be eulen only by the
priests.
(2) He shows the nature of a Sab
bath law (v. 27). \
The Sabbath was made for man,
therefore its right use Is to be deter
mined by the good oi man. The laws
of honesty, truth, purity and love dif
fer from the law of the Sabbath and
there is no circumstance or condition
under which they may be departed
from.
(3) Jesus is the Lord of the. Sab
bath (v. 28).
It was He who instituted it when
creation was finished, therefore He
had a right to use It as it pleased
Him for man’s good.
III. Jesus Healing a Man's Withered
Hand on the Sabbath (3:1-6).
1. The place—the synagogue (v. 1).
Jesus’ example shows what He did
on the Sabbath. He went to the
place of worship. The presence of
the man with a withered hand gave
Jesus an opportunity to administer a
rebuke to the pharisees.
2. The pharisees watching (v. 2.)
They knew that Jesus would be In
terested In this helpless man. They
surmised that some work would have
to be performed to heal him.
3. The man made an example (v. 3).
Jesus wanted the case to be open
to all, so He commanded the man to
jtand forth where all could see him.
4. The question asked (v. 4).
“Is it lawful to do good on the Sab
bath day, or to do evil, to save life,
or to kill?” He made the issue clear;
He plainly showed them that to fail
to do good, to show works of mercy,
to save life, is to be guilty of wrong
doing, even of murder.
5. The man healed (v. 5).
Christ healed him by speaking the
Word, so they could not accuse Him.
6. The result (w. 4, 6).
The pharisees were silenced. There
was no ground upon which to accuse
Him. But since their hearts were
bent upon His destruction they sought
how they might put Him to death.
