SUNDAY SCHOOL Lewon III/? Fourth Quarter, For Oct 20, 1912. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Leeeoiy Mark vt|, M-tOi MsM. vlH, (-11 ? Hwry VfiM ZT, n ?stden Tmt, Jo+m v<, *7?C?m mewtiy by Rev. O. M. fttisins. The two incidents of tbsoe >nou. though tar separated mm to Of Qua of tiielr oiitiniiot, are both lnoatxadou of great faith on the part o t two who were not of IvMt? ?ocMhadow inga, bo doubt. o t the dm* when bless lag shotl go from Israel and her right eons king to all other nations. aa set forth In Pa. IxtII and many other places in such wonderful words as these, "God bo merciful onto us and bless us, that Thy way may be known upon earth. Thy saving health among all nations," and meantime contrasting the "little faith"' or "no faith" of Is rael with the "great faith" of those of lesser privilege. Ttfe story of the woman of Tyre and Sldon follows la the regular order of events, while that of the Roman cen tnrlon takes us back to a time Just after the choosing of Ufa twelve apos tles. Both events are recorded by Matthsw; the centurion also in Lake vll and the gentile woman in Mark In the leeson of today. The great words In each lesson are. to my "o wo man. great la thy faith, be it unto thee even as thou wilt." and -Verily I say unto you. I hare not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. ? ? ? Go thy way. and as thou hast bettered, so be It dona unto thee- (Matt xv, 28: vUl 10-13). ' Taking the story of the centurion first, we note that his servant, who was dear unto him, was sick unto death, and the messengers who came to Jesus on his behalf spoke of the centurion's love for the nation and how he had built them a synagogue; bet . the centurion himself said, either per sonally or by his messengers, that he was not worthy to have the Lord ,Te sns come under his root, but that If He would only speak the word his servant would be hpaled. When tb? messengers returned to the centurion's bouse they found the servant whole that had been sick, ne had been hea' ed In the same hour that Jesus had said. "As thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee." As; Jesus joqa mended the centurion's faith He said to the people that manr would come from all parts and share the kingdom with Abraham. Isaac and Jacob, while many- who supposed rl'e* were sure of It would And tfcems-. It s cast Into outer darkness. How ess^n tlal it Is that we become In God's w?; His children and know that our names *" are written In heaven (Luke x, 20; Rev 15; xxl. 8), for many who profess to be His will have to hear Trim say. "I never knew you. depart from Me': iMatt. Til, 21-23). Mark the poverty of spirit of the centurion, no self con celt or consciousness of the importance of his position, but evidently from his heart. "Lord. I am not worthy." Some thing of the spirit of him of Luke xv'.U 13, 14. who went to his house Justified There Is only one who is truly worthy | and when we take our right place be- ' fore Him He is ready to honor all the i fa|Uj we place In Him. As to the other incident 1 hare often thought that Jesus went away off there I to be refreshed by that woman's grenr I faith, for knowing all things He kne-n all about her and her trouble, and the way she would come to Him and clinv to Him and take no denial. Nothing pleases Him like faith, and wilhou* faith it Is Impossible to please Him it is written that the centurion's serv 'ant was dear unto him, but here It 1* a mother pleading for her own diugb J ter who must have been dear to her and specially dear because of her nf diction, for the sick one in a home gen erally has the sympathy of alL As we ' think of those who are dear to us do We consider the words of our Father !n heaven concerning His only begotten Son. "This Is My beloved Bon In whont 3 am well pleased?" (John lit. JO. Matt- 111, 17; xvli. 6). Let us also la;, to heart that we -do not honor the Fa ther unless we honor the Bon; and that since God spared not His own Son He will with Him also freely give us all things (John v, 23; Rom. vll I, 82). Probably this distressed mother did not know these great truths, but she knew that she had a greatly afflicted daughter, she had heard of this won derful teacher who could heal all dis eases and cast out demons and had no ?doubt longed to reach Him. but He was too far away, and so her case seemed hopeless But now He had come near to her, the blessing was within her reach, and as soon as possible she Is at His feet beseeching Him for her daughter. To get the complete recorc. we must put the accounts In Matthew and Mark side by side. To her first appeal Jesus answered her not a word. The disciples besought Him to send her away. He then said that He was sent only to the lost sheep of the boose of Israel. She first cried unto Him ss the Son of David, now she ?'says, "Lord, help me." To this He re plied. "It Is not meet to take the chil dren's bread and cost It unto the dogs." Then cime her conquering appeal, rTes, Lord, yet the docs under the table sat Of the children's orambe." Willing to own herself a gentile dog pleading for a crumb, she gets all she cams tor. "Far this seytng go thy way; the derll Is gone out of thy daugh ter." Ik each of theee cases note the ?xtmne- weakness and lowliness of the applicants. THE BEST PHOOF. . V Loniabnrff Citizens Cannot ?oubt It. , Doan's Kidney Pill* were uwd ? the; cured.
