John 1ft Thl? lesson chronologically follow! that of last Sunday. Christ had rtien with hi* dlsclplea from the supper ta ble (14:31), and the remainder of his discourse may have occurred In an up per room, or In the courtyard of the house before they left the city, or on the way to the garden of Qethsemane. I. THE ABIDING LIFE (vv. 1.4). Under the figure of the vine Jesus teaches spiritual truth by natural analogy. The vine Is composed of , j roots, stem, branches, tendrils, and fnyt. There is no separate life: the branches are one with the Tine. Christ Is the head of that body which Is the church to Ita leaat member. The life lived by the Christian Is .Christ's life humanized, the purpose of which la fruit bearing. Discipline Is In order to' frultfulneas. "He (My Father, the vine dresser) cuts away any branch on i me which Is not bearing fruit, and J cleans every branch which does bear fruit to make It bear richer fruit" (Moffat's translation). Paul tells us that "no chastening for tlie present seemeth to be Joyous bat grievous: nevertheless, afterward It yleldeth 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 he In us? the branch depending upon the vine for life, find the vine depending upon the branch for fruit. Jesus had Just been talking about his approaching deadi. and his disciples were full of , anxiety. He tells them not to be trou- ; ami Kv thU fltnira AMiiPM th#?m I that, though he would leave them, he would still be joined to them. Al though they had been made clean, they are taught that the only way t? keep clean la by "abiding," which la to be continued through the eternal spirit after his decease and ascent to the Father. "It la given to us to hold fellowship with both the root that twines Itself about the cross and the tendrils which stretch upward to 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-fruitful ness. II. the Fruitful Llfa <w. 5-8). If we abide In him we will bring forth much fruit. Note the progression: "fruit," "more fruit," "much fruit" If the branch does not (war fralt It Is fit only for fuel (Isa. 27:11). "If ye abide In me, and my words abide In you, ye shaTI ask what ye will, and It shaH be done unto you" (v. 7). Our first fruit Is to glorify God (v. 8). The vine does not consume the fruit which It pro duces, though It does exist for Its pro duction. thus glorifying God through Its fruit-bearing function. The Bible uses many figures to illustrate the In timate relationship between root and fruit. "Without me," emphasises Christ, "ye can do nothing." The "word" of verse three is equivalent to the word "I" of verse four. "Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you" (v. 3). Our fnilt bearing is for God's glory be cause It Is an expression of his grace and power, and It Is made possible through our Identification with his dear son. Our fruitfulness attests our Christian character. We have not yet attained perfection In our conduct, but we are making progress. Progressive deliverance from the power of sin Is counterbalanced by corresponding frultfulness. fli.^Tha Permanent Llfa (vv. 9-1S). "Fruit," "more fruit," "much fruit" Even as the life of Christ has Increas ingly manifested Itself through the ages, so our individual lives are to Increase In the frultfulness which as similates them to his character and expresses his graces. As the Father has loved him, so has he loved us, and this love he communicates, to those who abide In him. The evidence of our abiding is manifested by our Joy In keeping his commandments, Just as he delighted tn keeping his father's commandments. Obedience and Joy are correlated terms. The fuller the obedience the greater the Joy. Bush nell said: "Heaven Is nothing but the Joy of a perfectly harmonised being Oiled with God and his love." Instead . ot minute, detailed instructions re tra riling their conduct, the disciple* ?re here presented with love, the gov erning principle. Love wi? to be the one sufficient Impulse for both divine and human relationships. Our Lord would have the world know his serv ants by the fruit they bear, which Is to be a sufficient badge to Identify them In the midst of Its wickedness and perversity. The great fact of his love toward us Is to be the source and measure of our love toward others. Only love can fulfil the royal law? "thon shalt love thy neighbor all thy self (James 2:8). "If ye love roe, ye will keep my commandments," said Jesus (14:15 R. V.). The evidence that we lisve this love is In having a i heart for his commandments. "1 de ? light to do thy will. 0 my Qod," (Psa. i 40:8) It the language of a love-fllled > heart. "Greater love hath no man I than this . . said Christ facing the tragedy of the cross, lie wanted his disciples to understand something of the measure of thitt love which was willing to give Itself, to the death for the life of a rebel world. Presently he laid down his life for his foes (Rom. 5:4-10). Bat to hi* disciples be gave the pledge of his continued friendship in his resurrection life to comfort them In the trials which he foresaw would teat them. He called I them "friends," even as he had called Umtos "our friend" (11-11). Be never calls them slave* because a ?lave "knows not what |ils Lord doeth." 1 ? I The Charge, the!

In tbe day* of the old prophet*, trouble between Cod and (Inning men was as evident as It In today. In the reading of the chapter that pre cede* the one from which the texts are taken, we reed that the people attempted to do cj? r t? I b things that pleased God; be ing very religious, in a formal way, they were devot ing themselves to their sacrifice! and feastlnga, bat the trouble be tween them and God waa not removed. It ww fortunate for them that they had gome religious leaders that knew tilings spiritual, and who were faithful in telllugjthe people that they were not doing what was pleasing to God ut all. The people seemed to be wondering why God seemed to pay no attention to their . religious activities; then the prophet spoke very plainly: "Your Iniquities have separated between you and your God. and your sins have bid his face from you." These were very plain words. The prophet did not say that what they were doing was unwise tactics, was excusable blundering, or waq, Indiscretion, but that what was preventing the blessing of God was their sin. Charge of Worldllnese. If the application of these words were made to the church today, which wottld be very proper, the charge would not be wise if It were made In the form of details or the naming of peccadillos of Improper conduct, but If the church were .charged with world liness, with betrayal of pure doctrine, with robbery as far as withholding of ferings to God are concerned, then the charge would attract attention. The church of God today In Its sinful condition stands as a buffer between God and the unsaved world. A great load of guilt Is on tt today on this par-, ticular account. Tt l? a misrepresen tation of what Christ and his religion are. The world does not today read Christ properly because it res<l* the perverted message of Christ that the church presents In Its life. But the shortcomings of the church, will not redeem any unsaved man, nor be an excuse for not getting right with God. Here every tub must stand on Ita own bottom. What Is wrong with the unsaved man? Simply that he la out of right relationship with God; there la a lack of adjustment. A man can fence an he pleaaes. and try to throw the blame on God, but ultimate- j ly the trouble la with himself. His sins have separated between him and God, and these must be got out of the way. God must be falthfnl to man, and to show his love he says through his ministers, "Tour sins have hid hla face from you that be will not hear." God's Part and Man's. The charging of ala I* God's part; j the confessing of aln la man's part. Fortunately, the people to whom the prophet spoke heeded his word, and we read that they made detailed con fession. , Confession Is In a way the same thing as repentance, and some men have shown themselves to he strong In repentance. Indeed, there Is no explanation of their standing be fore Ood, except conceding that they knew how to repent. W<, have David and Peter as examples. Such confes sion Is coming out??an41dIy and ac cepting the righteousness of the charge of Ood. Ood has passed Judgment, his charge Is made and man must, like one of ancient times, acknowledge the charge In order that Ood may ba Jus tified when be speaks and be clear when he Judges. We mlgbt note In this part of the confeaalon that the In dividual aays "his sins are multiplied before him"?that la, they are in an exaggerated form, really what they are, as compared whh wjiat be hat heretofore considered then to ba. Be ' concedes, also, that Hs slits belong to [ himself. They are, as he expresses ' It, with him. He acknowledged that | while he was pleading extenuation of his guilt, that he knew that be had sinned all the time. The need of the day In which we find ourselves Is confession, national ' confeaalon, cburcb confession, Indlvld . 11 a 1 confession. Some nations today j are on their knees. Th*y are on their I way to true blessing because they are going to get right with Ood. The or ganised church Is hardly on its feet yet, and It Is slipping further and fur ther away from the truth of Ood, and not until It gets to It* knees and coo feasea its attachment to the world. Its departure from truth, Its failure to understand Its true mission, will it hare God's fa^or. - The Blessing. The Inevitable follows confeaalon of sin, nMiely, blessing. In the text we are told that the Redeemer shall come ?to Bon. The trouble with the world and with the church and the Individ ual Is, that the Redeemer Is not pres ent This, coming of the Redeemer may fairly be considered In the first place as a spiritual coming. The Ideal situation Is expressed by the term Im manuel, whlfh means "God with us," but God cannot be with us If we hold to our sins and do not confess and for sake them. God remains away from natloms and churches and Individuals as far as bis blessings art concerned, who do not confess their sins and re turn to him. CHOWAN MOIOM COMPANY. Paaaeaper Mall?Cngfoee.
