Exposition I. Jesus' Love for the Hc'j-e of od, 18. On? or tntfe passages is laxen irom Kf beginning of Jesus' public minis '-. the other from the close of it; wither has anything whatever to do rth "Making tfie Social Order Chris- an" (ee title.) If the first passage Is studied in its context it will be tpn that the words of our Lord wero tttered as He was at out to ba rejected v Kis home town and the other con tains words spoken when He had been ejected by the whole nation. T'i3 resent "social order" is not to be ir.:e Christian." It can not be, '"the rto.e worm iiein in tne evn ono u Jno. 5:19. The Greek word translated wor'.d'- ir. this passage means pri marily "a harmonious arrangement" and then "social order"). Jesus loved tiip home of His childhood, youth :md young manhood. He longed to make known the way of life to His own lowrsneople. He had gained a reputa tion away from home, perhaps His townsmen would now listen to Him. He observed the Sabbath of His peo the saventh day Sabbath, that had not yet been done away .by Hifi death ifol. 2:1416) and the Lord's Day substituted by His resurrection (Ac :0J; Rev. 1:10). On that- day H ft c. always be found in the synagogue iv. 15. ccmp. Lu. 2:49: Ac. 17:2).

The roll of Isaiah waa placed in His hxi'GB. " He was familiar with it from end to end, and knew just where to turn. A wonderful vision of th Com ing One, Isaiah had had more than seven hundred years . before. It was about an "anointed" one or Christ (Greek) or Messiah (Hebrew). By ap- plying it to Himself Jesus proclaimed Himself, the Christ, but it is doubtful if they understood Him. His hearer though mffst have been startled to hear the - carpenter boy who had been brought, up In their midst proclaim ing Himself as the fulfillment of one of their sacred prophecies. It waa with the Holy Spirit that He was anointed (comp. Ac. 10:38; Ps. 45:7; Isa. 11:2-5; 42:1-4; 59:21). It was as a conquering king that the Jews were expecting their Messiah to be anoint ed, but the wonderful representation of thla verse is of a Saviour. A five fold ministry was to be His as the anointed of God. (1) "To proclaim good tidings to the pood." The poor are always objects of God's special regard and the gospel's special blessing (cn. 6:20: 7:22; Isa. 29:9; Zeph. 3:12; Zech. 11:11; Mat. 5:3; 11:5; Jas. 2:5). The modern church has departed widely at this point from the Master's mission. (2) "To proclaim release to the cap tives," captives of the devil and sin (Lu. 13:16; Jno. 8:34, 31, 32), Jesus can free them and He alone (Jno. 8:35). (3) "Recovering of sight to the blind." the physically blind and still more the spiritually blind (Jno. 9:3-41; 1 Jno. 5:20). (4) "To set at liberty them that are bruised," bruised by Satan (Gen. 3:15). What a merciless bruiser he is. but there is One who can set at liberty those whom he has tho most utterly crushed, the "Anointed" one (Ac. 10:38). (5) "To proclaim, . the acceptable year of the Lord," i. e., the gTeat millennial jubilee, of which the fifty-year jubilee of Israel was a type (Lev. 25:8-13, 50-54). Jesus stop ped at just this point in the prophecy. Isaiah goes on to speak of "the day of vengeance of our God," but that bo longs to the second coming and after the rejection of Christ, so Jesus goes no further at this time. The picture of man's condition in this prophecy is a sad one, but it is absolutely true, and the prophecy shows the sure way of deliverance. Jesus shut the book, sat down, looked His auditors in the face with a gaze of marvelous pene tration and tenderness and said: "This prophecy means me." Every eye in the synagogue was fastened upon Him. It was a critcial hour, will they be lieve and be saved.? Alas, no! It will be another just such an hour for your class when you teach this lesson. "They bare Him witness," that looked promising. They "wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of Hi3 --mouth," that - too looked promising, but it did not go deep enough; so when the unwelcome mes sage comes they will turn upon Him and reject Him and seek His de ii ruction. How near they came to th kingdom and yet how far away after all. TII. .'The Blessed of the Father, Their Deeds and Their Destiny, 34-40. In verse 34 the kingship of Christ is set forth. He does not use this title of Himself elsewhere. How sweet and significant the title that He . ap plies to those on the right hand. "Ye blessed of my Father." The word translated '"blessed" here is not the same word that is so translated in the beatitudes; it means, literally, "well spoken of." The blessed of the Father He invites to an inheritance in the kingdom (contrast Gal. 5:19-21; Eph. 5:5; 1 Cor. 6:9, 10. cf. 2 Tim. 2:12; ,4.:8; Jas. 2:5:! Rev. 21:7). The in heritance of the kingdom is not some thing we earn, it is a gift (Lu. 12:32). This kingdom has been prepared from the foundation of the world and it was prepared for us. Jesus gives us-, as a renson for inviting them to in inheri tance in His kingdom the fact that they 'nad. ministered to Him in His need. The whole destiny of man hangs on his faith, but the proof of faith is conduct (cf. Gal. 5:6; Jas. l':17, 18). Jt is deeply "significant that the righteous were not aware of the good deeds that they had been doing; the righteousness most acceptable to God is that which is free from self-con-scidusness. Jesus Christ so identifies Himself with "the least" of His breth ren that any act done to them He re gards as done vto Himself (cf. Ac. 9:4, 5). Who Christ's brethren are we learn in ch. 12:49, 50; 28:10; Heu. 2:11 NOW SHANGHAI IS BEING REFORMED Famous Dives in the Paris of the Orient Forced to Close Up Shop. By CHARLES EDWARD HOGUE. United Press Staff Correspondent. Shanghai June 18. I'From' 'here to Shanghai," ran the merry ditty popur lar in the United States not many years ago, when this Gateway to the Far East was better -known as "Paris of the Orient" and when all sorts of naughty things were intimated in con nection with the night life here. "From Shanghai Somewhere Else," is the dirge being, groaned today by the promoters of that same notorious "Night Life." For be it known that the Glooms have at last downed the Joys The fair Russian maidens who gamboled blithe ly to the tune of their only English ac complishment: "Buy bottle vine" at $8 a pint are sobbing In solitude their habitat "The Trenches, once ablaze with .gleaming light, presents a somber and forbidding aspect, and 'Jhe Wheel" one time the Orient's Monte Carlo, is surrounded by Chinese soldiers who look suspiciously upon passersby to ascertain whether they may" have been obsessed of the Sporting Instinct. General Ho Feng-lin, defense commis sioner of this province of Kiangsu, has issued an ultimatum.' -There shall be no more dance halls nor gambling houses in the, Chinese territory of the province. These places had: heretofore thriven almost in the heart of the In ternational Settlement, from which they are barred, but were, because of the peculiarities of the boundary lines, on Chinese soil. " Striking among the results of the Governor's ukase is the case of "The Wheel." For ttany years it had world wide notoriety as a palatial gambling house. A year ago it was closed and seized by the Chinese authorities, who said it would be converted into a hos pital. Then came the announcement that it. had been sold to a foreign syn dicate which was to remodel it and re open it as a first-class cabaret. Half a million dollars was spent on the ploce. Governor Ho heard rumors that gambling was to be resumed. He took prompt steps. When the re-opening date arrived- more' than 1,000 persons arrived at the remodeled resort. They found a cordon of soldiers drawn up around the place. BRc OWN Q&IlrlBf-T&'EL THE MEETING It . was a glorious October day when Gwenda finally saw John Xeale. She had had a. busy morning running about the city, interviewing, and was so tired by the time that four o'clock came that she decided to go to the Ro tonde and have a cup of black cof fee to buck her up -before returning to tne notei. Arrived there, she slipped into the dressing room and washed herself a bit, fluffed her hair out at the sides, then satisfied chat she was looking her best, despite the hard work, she went back to one of the many tables and sat down. As she looked across the room she felt her heart give a great leap, for there, sitting opposite to her, sat John Neale, and at Kis side was a pretty little French girl, smiling into his eyes in the taking way that French girls fca-e. ' Gwenda felt her cheeks burning and there was an ache in her throat as he stared, all unobserved by him, for she tealized that John was obviously very happy. She felt a sudden longing to get away, far away from the place from 'Paris itself. Just as she had decided upon a hasty retreat, John leaked upland caught sight of her. It was a very flattering whonp th he gave, as he raw her, and the next instant, with a hurried apology to the damsel at his side, he was over, and bending down, looking eagerly into Gwenda's starring eyes. "Well, Gwenda, of all people, and here alone. What do. you mean, naugh ty girl?" he said laughingly as he shook her hand ever and over again in his delight. "Gee, this is real. Looks like old times and everything, Gwen da," he said as he sat down beside her. "When did you learn to run about Pa ris alone? And how dare Fedya per mit it?" "What about yourself. John?" sug gested Gwenda with a smile, "and how can you be so faithless as to leave your lady-love sitting alone over there, my friend?" "Lady-love be hanged.", he exclaimed roughlj ,3Ain't no such peTSon.jnot over there, at any rate. Oh, of course, I've got a little girl I'm fond of, but she won't have me, no indeed,' holds me off, and never dreams that I'm wearing my heart sway lor lave of hfr. Just my luck, tco," he finished sadly. "Faint heart ne'er won fair lady, you know," said Gwenda, smiling up distractingly into his blue eyes. "Of course I knew that sooner or later you'd lose your heart over here and I hope that she is a very nice girl, John, for you deserve the best" Here Gwen da averted her eyes from his and she felt the old pain at her heart once more. - "I only arrived here this afternoon from London, and dropped in here to have an appetizer before dinner."
