Lesson IV.—Third Quarter, For ]
July 28, 1912. I
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.;
Text of the Lesson, Matt, xiii, 24-30, 38-
43—Memory Verses, 37-39 —Golden
Text, Matt, xiii, 30—Commentary
Prepared by Rev. O- M. Stearns.
Tbis is the second parable of the
series of seven recorded by Matthew
as one discourse spoken partly in pub
lic to the multitudes and partly in
private to the disciples on the same
day. but all refen iuj: to this present
a&e of Israel's rejection of her Mes
siah and the consequent postponement
of the kingdom. It is truly great and
gracious condescension on the part of
God to make known to us His purpose.
"His eternal purpose which He has
purposed iu Christ Jesus our Lord"
(Eph. lii, 11). for "known unto (Jod are
all His works from the beginning of
the world," and all that comes to pass
Is simply what His hand and counsel
determined before to be done • Acts
xv, 18; iv. 28). See also Acts 11. 23:
Isa. xlvi, 9. 10; xlv, 24; Eph. i. 11.
Because people who have the word of
God. and therein His mind and pur
;)ose. do not agree with Him they
become conceited, wise In their own
estimation, and talk and act unwiseh
and attempt to carry out plans never
devised in heaven. Those who are
appointed to teach the word of God
are greatly to blame if instead of
shaking His word faithfully they
act like the false prophets in the days
of Jeremiah and make people vain,
speaking a vision of their own heart
and not out of the mouth of the Lord.
Accordiug to the words of our Lord
In these parables during this present
age up to the time of the harvest, only
part of the seed sown will bear fruit.
It will be as when Paul dwelt at Itome
—some believed and some believed not
(Acts xxviii. 24). Side by side with the
children of the kingdom will flourish
the children of the wicked one. Those
unbelievers will be found within the
professing church, as the birds in the
branches, and the food of the church,
that which preachers give to the peo
ple. will be anything but sound doc
trine, for that the people will not en
dure. It will be and even now is as
in the days of Isaiah when they said.
"Prophesy not unto us right things;
speak unto us smooth things; prophesy
deceits; * * * cause the holy one of
Israel to cease from before us" (Isa. ;
Xxix, 10. 11). Our Lord elsewhere fore- \
told these things in Matt, x, IG-18; !
xxiv, 24. In these four parables, and ;
notably In this one. we see the great ad
versary, the devil. He hates the word
of God. takes it or keeps it from peo
ple, gets his followers into the pro
fessing church aud Into -her pulpits,
and yet the Lord Is working out His
eternal purpose, aud He shall not fail
not be discouraged (Isa. xiii, 4). The
kingdom cannot come while the devil
continues to be the prince of the power
of the air, the prince or god of this
world (Eph. li, 2; John xlv. 30; II Cor.
Iv. 4). but wheu the stronger than he
shall cast him out of the- air and off
the earth into the bottomless pit (Rev
xil, 9; xx. 1-3) then a king shall reign
in righteousness, and the effect or
service of righteousness shall be peace,
and the nations shall learn war no
more. All talk about winning the
world for Christ in this age. or ex
tending His kingdom, or uplifting the
race, is without Scriptural authority,
and all pride of church or denomina
tion or mere human effort of any kind
is not of God, but from him who would
have men think that they are gods
Note carefully our Lord's explanation
of the parable of the tares. In the
first parable the seed is the word of
God, bnt in this the good seed are the
children of the kingdom, those who
have received the word of God (Johu
i. 12). The tares are those who be
lieve the devil and are therefore his
children. There are just two great
leaders, the Son of Man and the devil.-
and the conflict is between them for
man and his inheritance, the earth
We must not think of tares as the
openly ungodly, but as something so
like the wheat that some cannot tell
the difference. The tares represent re
ligious philanthropic people of culture
and refinement, people who are admir
ed and esteemed and by many oonsid
ered tbe very salt of the earth. There
>s one very decided mark which distin
guishes the wheat from the tares—true
children of God confess themselves
sinners and accept Jesus as (Jod and
put all their trust iu bis precious blood
tbe great sacrifice for sin. All other
must be tares, for "be that hath not
the Son of (iod hath not life" il John
v, 12). The devil will tolerate as much
religion as any one may desire._ and a
beautiful character and abundance of
philanthropy provided tbe sacrifice of
Jesus Christ as tbe sinner's only plea
is not mentioned. The Lord knoweth
them that are his. Let us be sure that
we are redeemed by precious blood
and then ever and always without dis
couragement sow the good seed of the
word, ready as seed ourselves to fall
into the ground and die that we may
win others. I was greatly helped at
one time by a remark of the late Dr.
Arthur T. Pierson to this effect: Your
parish Is not your field: tbe field is
the world, and your parish is a force
that God has given you to train that
he may use you and them to work the
field. Those who do not see the re
sults they are looking for will be
helped if they remember that when
the devil sowed his tares he went his
way. He knew that they would grow.
If you are a housewife you cannot
reasonably hope to be healthy or
i beautiful by washing dishes, sweep
ling and doing housework all day and
crawiing into bed dead tired at night
You must go out i lto the op c n air ana
sunlight. If vou do this every day and
keep your stomach bowels in good
order by taking Chamberlain's Tab
lets when needed, you should become
both healthy and beautiful. For sale

"About fifteen

JfM -rfiSi producing what
'• was called val
-1 j vula'r trouble.

"'v'ir ""T.dt-4 to me I
a bottle of
nr. Miles' Heart
! wmedy and it
me Inside
v of 48 hours. At
the end of the v; ■ I called on my
doctor and askrd i to examine me.
He said I was letter than he ever
expeet-d to see me and asked if I was
taking his medicine. IVhen I told him
I was not, but was rr.king Dr. Miles'
Heart Remedy, he 'Thank the
Lord for Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy.' I
continued to take -It.* and while I
realized my heart w«'s damaged so 1
could not expect a permanent cure, for
fifteen years I worked every day, not
withstanding I had been told I would
never work again. In July, 1911, I was
taken with rheumatism again, and it
went to my heart as before. I got so
bad that one of the Albany papers
wrote up my life and said I could not
live but a few hours. I again took
Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy with very
satisfactory results, and have not
missed a day at business or in the
legislature since January. I feel that
Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy has saved
my life and cannot recommend it too
highly."
