I CORRECTING WRONG IDEAS International Sunday School Lesson V " JS ,or March v r , -1 ' ; Golden Text: "This people hon- oreth me with . their lips, but ' ' their hearts are far from me." ...Mark?.. ;f y.JK - Lesson Text Hark 713 '" Wherever Jesus went it seems, the Pharisees' were along- to see what he did and, if possible, to find fault On this occasion; J"us was teaching and preaching in Capernaum and a group of Pharisees and Scribes were sent from Jerusalem v to spy upon Jesus, to discredit him with the people and to 1 And grounds for legal '.action against him. Naturally, they were anxious to discover something upon which to base their claims. . Therefore, noticing that "some of his disciples ate their bread with de filed, that Is, unwashen, hands," they went Immediately - to Jesus to ask him why it was that he had not re ouired that his disciples regard the traditions of the elders. .: Now these traditions first came into feeing as interpretations of the Mosaic law and were applications of the law to meet local circumstances. Then, - the tra ditlons . became interpretations of traditions, and, traditions were the interpretations of interpretations of traditions, until finally there stood between the people of God and the law of God such a mass of traditions that the law of God was lost sight of and practically forgotten. Such was the case in this instance. While no one would condemn the practice of personal cleanliness and the necessity of washing one a hands before eating, and neither did Jesus nor his disciples, the religious leaders had made a religious ceremonial out of the mere practice, making the habit of cleanliness a burden because of certain rituals - which had to be performed. Those who failed to car ry out the prescribed rites were de clared ceremonially unclean and unfit to associate with. , - -. In answer to their accusations of transgressing the traditions of men, Jesus accuses the Pharisees of trans gressing, or putting at naught - the word of 3od. , Quoting to them Isaiah 29:13, Jesus tells them what he thinks of them, thus: "This people honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. But in vain do they worship me, teaching aa their doctrines the precepts (traditions) of men." It took courage for Jesus to thus denounce tte religious leaders of his day, and yet everything , he said was true. He went further, de claring, -"Ye leave the commandment of God and hold fast to the tradition of men." . Going into fiirther detail with them, Jesus touches a sore spot. He shows them just how hollow ana meaningless was their Pharisaical piety. Taking as an example the Fifth Commandment, which was one upon which the Pharisees laid much emphasis the honor due parents Jesus showed them how they had made the law of God of no effect by establishing a man-made rule where by man could "get by" his obli gation to his parents in a way which would ease his own conscience. Moses said, "Honor . thy father and thy mother," but "ye say, If a man shall say to his father, or mother, "That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God: ye no longer suf fer him to do aught for his father and his mother." In other words, if a man, with parents in need, desired not to help his parents, he could de clare that the' house which he owned In which his parents might live, or that money with which he might pro vide the necessities of life for his parents, were Corban, that is dedi cated to God, the proceeds of which were to be used for God, then that person would be relieved of his obli gation to his parents and could not be forced to provide for them.

That the case of the Fifth rVimmniulnMnt in nnlv nne of maitV such instances is brought out by the statement of Jesus, "And many sucn like things ye do." Before condemning the Scribes and Pharisees of Jesus' day too strongly, let us question ourselves closely to see if we are not somewhat deserving of the same condemnation from the Master. Have traditions of men come between us and the Word of God? Have we been willing to take another's interpretation of God'f Word, or do we read and study the Bible and attempt to get its truths for ourfown earst Let us remem ber that the only" worship that is really acceptable to God is the wor ship of the heart and that "Man look eth on the outward appearance, but God looketh on the heart."
