3 THE SUNDAYSCHOOL. Lesson VIII. Fourth Quarter, For Nov. 24, 1907. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. lb 7 t7 A Text of th Lesion, Rom. xiv, 12-23. Memory Vere, 19-21 Golden Text, Rom. xiv, 13 Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stoarne. Copyright, 1907, by American Press Anoditlee. How wondrously beautiful Is the eneuess of this marvelous book! Last week lu the book of Judges we saw Uie necessity of a consistent life and a clear testimony, wtth our eyes ever upon our Lender, and In a previous les son the exhortation was to consider bow great things He has done for ua and serve Him In sincerity and truth. Now we pass over te this New Testa ment epistle for a lesson, and It Is to consider Christ as our Judge that we may deny self and live unto Ilini, seek ing to deliver others from the great euemy, the oppressor and destroyer, and hasten the reign of Christ In righteousness on this earth. It Is still the world's night, and poo pie are living in rioting and drunken ness, and the children of (loil seem to be nslci'p. as Jonah was when the sail ors were cu'iuiii; up.m their gods, but the lii:i of the kingdom is ever draw ing nearer, mid it heroines the child of God to "put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make not provision for the llesli, to fulfill the lusts thereof (Kom. xiil, 11-111. We ran neither convert tills world nor remove iniquity from itour Lord will .see to that at II is coining ngaln and will begin at Israel (Isn. lx, 21; lxll, 1, 2 but we can as individuals abandon ourselves to Him that He may accomplish in and through us that which lie has purposed. If every be liever would, in view of the fact that nil believers must appear before the Judgment seat of Christ and every one of us gfte account of himself to Ood, lay to heart ami live out the words of verse S. "Whether we live we live unto the Lord, and whether wo die we die unto the Lord; whether wo live, there fore, or die Ave are the Lord's," wo and others through us would be greatly blessed and made n blessing. I do not know how to account for the unbelief of, and the 111 treatment the word of God receives from, many preachers, professors In theological seminaries and Innumerable members of churches unless It be that they Ignore the Judg ment seat of Christ, where every be liever shall give account of himself to God. Compare II Cor. v, 10, 11; I Cor. Ill, 13-ld. The sin of Judging others may not seem to be as great as the sin of ln- temperance, yet here Is an exhortation ' as plain as "be not drunk with, wine," "Let us not therefore Judge one an other any more" (Eph. v, 18, and lesson erae 13). Compare Matt. vii. 1. and rofl Cor. Iv, 5, "Judge not that ye be not Judged" and "Judge nothing before the time until the Lord come," and let us learn to obey. This talk of doing as we please and not being responsible .,ir'. for the weaknesses of others Is wholly V i selfish and Intemperate and most un s Christlike, for "even Christ pleased not Himself (I.om. xv, 3). If our , 1 thought Is to win men to Christ, "b7 jtfal means to save some" (I Cor. Ix, 22), i : we will not think of pleasing ourselves. ' It seems to me that our lives as fol- lfJ lowers of Jesus Christ will be holy or I I i otherwise in proportion to our knowl- j'J edge of the kingdom of God (verso 17). 5,i)The kingdom of God for which we pray when we say "Thy kingdom iconie!" Is nothing less than the will of God done on earth as In heaven and "will be a reality after our Lord has ;been reigning a thousand years and has subdued all things to Himself, the jJast enemy, death, having been de stroyed (I Cor. xv, 2o-2Si. If the has tening of tills kingdom Is our first aim, laccordlng to Matt, vl, 33, wo may be ; leure that He will see to our having I Sufficient food and raiment, as He t . Promised. 5 All classes of unrighteous people, In i hiding drunkards (I Cor. vl, 9-11), are ),. deluded as such from the kingdom, ,t It there is righteousness for them also k .they will turn from their sins and has made peace for all by the blood t f Ills cross (Col. I, 20), and there Is '' one who may not have Ills right t flsness and peace and joy. If we who these gifts by His grace are our own enjoyment helping others to re- Instead of commend- them nro found disputing consider our rights In ttte matter of eating ami drinking, how elMh the love of God In us? If we " r right with God, our question will , be may I do tills or that, but how I win poire one to Christ, and If lilnk that anything, however Iaw for us, will prove a hindrance or ibllng block to some weak one wa . i .for Christ's sake and for the , jiher's sake gladly refrain, tur hearts will tell us quickly if the f..Wj Is quits right In the sight of God. f-Jft our heart condemn us, God la ,J than our heart and knowctb ilngs; If our heart condemn utr hen have we confidence toward '..(J John III. 20-22. and verse 22 of i: 8on).
