ings with the rich young ruler (see
lesson of June 21st), and which called
from Jesus the exclamation, “It is
hard for a rich man to enter the king-
dom of heaven" (19:23). At this the
disciples were exceedingly surprised
and exclaimed, “Who then can be
saved?" (v. 25). Jesus replied, "With
God all things are possible." There-
upon Peter said, "Lo. we have left
an and followed thee; what then shall,
we have?" The young man refusca

accrued to them, what reward they
were to have ”
Josus-Anewers Peter.
Jesus, osed his answer to,Peter by
sayhg, “Many that are first shall be
lust; and the last shall be first” (v.
30) and illustrates his reply by the
parable which is our lesson. Many
who do not stipulate a reward shall
be first, while many who work and
work long, but work only for a re-
ward, will be last. Preceding this
Jesus definitely told Peter that the
, twelve should be associated with him
judging the twelve tribes of Israel
, and that an who had left all to fol-
low him should receive an hundred-

When you feel dull, eat or sorts, discouraged,
half sick and everything seems to be going
wrong, you can blame it on your liver. It is

HERBINE
A Medicine of Power in
All Liver Disorders.
When the liver is torpid. It throws impurities into the system,
which hamper every organ in the body. The result 1a that func-
tional processes are not properly carried on. Impurities get into
the blood, the stomach is bilious, the kidneys weak and the
bowels irregular—generally constipated. Her bine clears out all
these Imparities, opens up the abstracted channels, strengthens
the torpid liver, cleanses the blood, purines and regulates the
bowels. After the system has been thus overhauled, there is an
immediate improvement. Appetite returns, digestion is good, the
spirits rise, the mind clears of gloomy forebodings and everything
looks bright and cheerful, which means, sound, healthy conditions
everywhere in the body.

fold and would inherit eternal life
(see chapter 19:28, 29), that is, they
would gain what the young ruler,
sought by doing what he failed to do.
Historically this la illustrated by the
Jew and Gentile, Matt 8:11, 12: Luke
13:28-30; Rom 8:80-33. / .
Parable of the Kingdom.
Jesus says this is a parable of the
kingdom, hence the householder repre
seats Ged (cf. 18:27: 31:33, 48); the
vineyard is the kingdom, see Isa. 2:7;
Matt. 21:33. The king is seeking
-men,**, ‘$
and with those whom he employed he
made a definite agreement. The
penny had a value of about seventeen
cents and represents an average day's
wage st that time. No one works for
God without s fair wage, Eph. 6:8;
Heb. 8:10. Notice, before they were
set to their task God called them.
The call was to service, Mark 1:17.
He goes out again st the third and
the sixth and the ninth hour, finds
other laborers, making no definite
agreement with them but sends them
into his vineyard to work. He led
them into the work and they trusted
him for wages. At the eleventh hour
he found idlers and asked them the
reason (v. 6), they replied that no
one had employed them and them too
he sends into the vineyard without any
bargain as to wages. None except
those st the third hour had any in-
timation as to their wage and they
were to receive whatsoever is right.”
Those called at the first may put in
longer hours but produce a poorer
quality of service than others called
at a later time. The character of the
service is of greater value than the
amount rendered and the higher the
service the greater the proportionate
reward. We get in this life about
what we work for.
II. The Reward of Service, v. 8-16.
At the end of the day the Lord's
steward rewards each man, beginning
with the last and ending with the
first (v. 8). The first one is paid ac-
cording to the strict letter of the
agreement, and the last is likewise
paid in strict justice but in a most
liberal manner. He, too, was worthy
for he worked throughout all the
time that was for him available.
Giving an equal reward to all was s
test of the character of those men
who entered the vineyard in the early
morning. The Lord’s answer (vv.
13-16) is a four-fold one (1) "I did
thee no wrong;” the contract had been
lived up to to the very letter. (2)
"It is my will to give, even as unto

autre saner
This la a time in the life of our
Lord that vibrates with interest as
we rapidly approach his last tragic
week upon earth. At the beginning of
his Perean ministry (Luke 9:51) we
read that Jesus “steadfastly set his
face to go to Jerusalem." Now that
journey is nearly ended. He had
reached a place near Jericho. Know-
ing the antipathy of the rulers, those
who journeyed with Jesus were
“amazed,” and some as they followed
him on this journey were “afraid"
(v. 82). Jesus, therefore, and for a
third time, plainly tells his disciples
what is about to take place in Jeru-
salem.
The contrast of self is the distin-
guishing feature of the lesson of
the self-seeking disciples over against
the self-renouncing Master.
Assurance of Faith.
I. The Self-seeking Disciples, vv. 32-
41. As Jesus clearly spoke to those
who in amazement followed him he
told of his condemnation and deliver-
anoe to the Gentiles; his persecution,
death and resurrection (vv/ 32-34). It
was then that James and John pre-
sented their request Matthew tells
us (20:20) that they made it through
their mother. It was an ignorant re-
quest, for they knew not what it in-
volved (v. 88), ner whose it was to
grant it (v. 40). He had spoken with
great clearness about his suffering
and death and immediately they ask
a position in his glory. This may In-
dicate the assurance of their faith
in him, but it certainly intimates that
they did not comprehend the suffering
of which he had been speaking. We
need to remember, however, that they
believed in that approaching hour of
his glory. They desired, though, to
have an association with him in bls
power and authority, thus showing
their mixture of selfishness, though
Jesus seems to have ignored it. Was
this request incited by the mother?
ter saaronees no topis to meat
cipler. In that reply he does say
that to occupy such a position was
denied them, or might be quite pos-
sible. What he does lay stress upon
was what was involved and that this
was not the time or place to lay em
phasis, in this new kingdom, upon any
other idea than that of equality.
Jesus then clearly declared all that
was involved in his pathway of suf-
fering and propounds Ms question,
“Are ye able to drink the cup that I
drink?” (v. 38). It was a heroic but
ignorant answer they made, "We are
able.” Their language reveals the
character, however, of those who did
enter into that fellowship with him
which eventually led them to martyr-
dom. He told them they should be
baptised into a strength to do and live
this life of abandonment, but that such
a life could not command any pre-
eminence on that account. Their re-
quest was otherwise a correct one. In
order to share with Christ in his glory
we must share his cup and his bap-

thee;" the Lord has a right to be
generous if he so desires. (3) “It is
lawful for me to do what I will with
mine own;" God has a right to exer-
cise such a prerogative and man has
no right to complain, Rom. 9:15-21.
(4) “Is thine eye evil because I am
good?" The ground of this complaint
was that of envy.
Ill,—The Teaching. We must be-
ware of trying to make this parable
teach more than is written. To right-
fully understand our Lord's dealings
with those who serve him we must
consider others of his parables. This
one has two chief lessons; first, that
priority of time or even length of
service is not the all-essential requi-
site; and second, that our fidelity to
and use of our opportunity Is the
chief desideratum. Along with this
there are of course other lessons. In
answer to Peter's question our Lord

Matt. 26.39: John 18:11; II Tim.
2:12; Rom. 8:17; Matt. 16.24. James
and John (v. 39) did not stop to meas-
ure the meaning of their request
Wanted Places of Authority.
11. The Self-renouncing Master, vv.
41446. In answer to the indignation
(v. 41) of the other ten disciples Je-
sus without any manifest impatience
calls the disciples "unto him” and seta
before them their absolute equality,
and yet at the same time a way of ex-
altation, v. 48. Jesus is ever calling
us “unto him,” for he desires to lead
us out of lives of selfishness into
those of fulness and service. These
ten were not altogether without self-
ishness; they wanted the places of au-
thority also. Once before, chapter
9:33-36, this same controversy had
arisen and was again manifested
(Luke 22:24) and that, too, at a sol-
emn Occasion, as he announced his ap-
proaching death and instituted the
supper. It was not till after Pente-
cost that it became possible for a dis-
ciple to write "in honor prefer one
another," Rom. 4: 10, Phil. 2:3. This
reply of Jesus to the indignation of
the ten is a teaching by contrast and
accurately describes the Gentile meth-
od of self-advancement. Over against
it he sets forth the method of the
"Son of Man." Till this present day
such are the methods of those who
are of this world only.
In his kingdom it is different, great-
ness is inverse ratio until we find
the greatest is the one who serves
most perfectly. In emphasizing this
verse (v. 45) it is quite common to
omit the last clause, "and to give his
life a ransom for many." So to omit
it is to neglect his work of redemp-
tion and overly emphasises the altru-
istic aspect of Christianity. Men are
not saved by any such method. Je
aus is the greatest example of a per
feet servant because he did give his
life. Let us also remember that he
showed him and his fellow disciples gave that life and that no man took
I it from him. John 10:18.
that the last might be first.
