THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL. Lesson' X. First Quarter, For March 8, 1908. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of tha Lesion, John vi, 22-51. Memory Verses, 32, 33 Golden Text, John vi, 35 Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Copyright, 1907, by American Press Association. Tbe bread of life, tbe water of life, be river of life, tbe fountain of life, are all suggestive of Him who Is tbe life and whom it Is our privilege to receive, to eat, to drink, to live by and to let Him live in us. He does tbe giving and we the receiving and pass ing on. He asks us to believe, re ceive, appropriate and then yield fully that He may through us communicate Himself to others. Tbe multitudes whom He bad taught and healed and fed, not finding Him where He bad fed them the previous day, sought Him till they found Him at Capernaum. Then He said: "Ye seek Me because ye did eat and were filled; labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which ndureth unto everlasting life, which tbe Son of Man shall give unto you. For Him hath God the Father sealed" verse 27). In tbe remainder of this chapter note tbe mention of everlast ing or eternal life in verses 40, 47, 54, S8. Then as to bread from heaven, bread of God, bread of life, living bread, see verses 32, 33, 35, 41, 48, 60, SI. Comparing verses 40, 47, 51 and others. It Is plain that eating His ifiesb and drinking His blood is equiva lent to believing In Him or receiving Elm. In other words, the great and only work required of the sinner is to receive Iliin who came down from Leaven and gave Himself for us. He Is the corn of wheat which fell into the ground to die that It might bring forth much fruit (xll, 24), the bread corn bruised (Isa. xxviil. 2S1, the true unleavened bread on which alone the soul can feed, the gift of God tbe Fa ther to whosoever will receive Him. Another definition of believing or re ceiving Is "Coming unto Ilini" (verses 85, 37, 44, 45, 05) Compare Matt xl. ; 28, and contrast John v, 40. That He : country is growing greater, grander iSrta-fJfV-,tbe sl,ft f Goa e,e vers?s 7-' unci richer under the Republican 32, 33, 01. mid compare Rom. vi, 23; i i- . , . uju V,.. II Cor. is. 15.

All that (j J 1 a king can offer, and that King th : ' Creator of nil thlugs In heaven and oi. earth. He came down from heaven ; and became one of us, sin excepted; He became a poor man, earning a llv- j Ing by working at a trade; lie taught i us how to live so as to please God ; always and in all things. But we are i sinners, and God is holy, so lie, bav- : lng no sin of His own. became a sacrl- : fice for our sins, bearing them In His j own body, suffering In our stead, dy- j lag the Just for the unjust He rose , from the dead and Is alive forever 1 more, bavins nil power iu heaven and ! earth, and He will fill this earth whh , Eds glory and cast out every evil thlug and reiga forever.

When any one sees his jmenee taking it at the iirst sign of fdanger. guilt and helplessness and from the . Ashelioro l'rug Co. i rrhn in th, nia i, to Jesus as the dying Israelite did up-; on the brazen serpent, then the Father of whom Jesus told in Luke sv runs to meet him and welcomes him just as He Is In all bis filthy rags, and quick ly there Is tbe goodly raiment, tbe fat ted calf and all tbe welcome of the Father's heart and home, with not a word of upbraiding. That to one pic ture. Others tell us of feasts prepared, all things ready, even garments to wear, and pressing invitations to all to come and eat and drink abundantly. Forgiveness of Bins, life eternal, names written In heaven, frail and mortal fcodles made Immortal, all the glory which tbe Father has given to Christ bestowed freely upon us, and yet the toor blinded sinner will not believe it to be true, but stands off saying: "How can I get it? What must I do?" Is It not fearfully manifest that tbe god of this world hatb blinded the- minds of tiiem which believe notj lest tbe light of tbe glorlou3 gospel 4' Christ, who Is the Image of God, shosltHihme onto them?
