OvK We are guilty o' confessing the ains of others instead of our own sine. W* do no when placing blame for wrong doing on others, when lamenting people* shortcoming*when rinding fault, when criticising harshly. Situations may warrant good reasons for such exprenHlonn but to make such e« preMtions a habit is to be continually confessing the win* of others. The better but harder way is to fl st see one’s own sin, confess it. and see to it that it will not happen again. , o Better to Im- driven out among men than to be disliked of children liana Knavery is supple and can bend, but honesty i* firm and upright and yields nut Colton.

Creamed Comments On The Sunday School Lesson

Creamed Comments on the Sun- [ day School Lesson. Jesus Washing Ills Disciples’ Feet. John 13; 3-35 for Sunday. March 9. , Jexux washing his disciples feet teaches the lesson of humble service so impressively that some churches consider Feet Washing an ordinance with that of baptism and the holy communion. Without condemning those differing, all will agree that the spirit and motive <>f humility expressed in Christian service ie fundamental. V 3 "Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into bbl hands, and that he was come from God. and went to God; "The consciousness of Jesus of his div hie exaltation by the Father brings out dearly the greatness of his condescension in washing the dis cipltw’ feet vil "lie riseth from supper and laid aside his garments; and took a towel and girded himself. The ambition for prominence amung the disciples forbade their doing the customary service of washing the feet of Kltest By « ample Jesus would give the needed teaching of humanity. V 5 ‘ After that he poll ret h water into a basin, and began to I wash his disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded Tlie baaia an<l i towel had been provided in the j uecesoary arrangements for tin ( guests. So it was expel ted that some one would tender the customary service performed by a • slave. When no slave was present, then any member present wa« «,(>,.n<*o do thi* service. V 6. "Then cometh he to Simon ■, pete . and Fetor saith uut<» him J Lord. dost thou wash my feet i The emphatic words here are l •tiiou and my”. ■< V 7 "Jesus answered and ea.dl, unto him.

. could not be an apostle; he could . not l>e saved- ’ V 9. "Simon Peter saith unto him. Lord, not my feet only, but - uku> my hands and my head." ■ Peter's Impulsiveness drove him i to make a wild expression He spoke without thinking, a very common fault. V l<f. "Jesus saith un'o him. He tiial is washed neede'h not nave to wash his feet, but is clean every whit; and ye are clean l»ut not all In a physical sense the necessary cleansing had been performed all having bad a bath as a prepara-. Hon for the pawsover feast and now | the washing of the feet made the disciples physically dean; Jesus would not atop here and so spoke of a moral cleanness; here Judas was guilty. This fad is made clear in verse 11. I V. 12. “So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments and was set down again, he said unto them. Know ye what I have done unto you?" Jesus had given hie disciples a lesson in humble service to one another, ini contrast to their relfisn ambition-1 to secure prominent places in tb«| kingdom - Vl3 "Ye call me Master an<l| Lord; and ye may well; for so I am." Here Christ dearly assert ■ hte'lordship and gives his disciple* to understand that nothing which | he hae just done-should be c onsired H repudiation of his lofty claim for himself He was more than their teacher; he was their Lod. Vs J 4.1a "If I 'hen. vour Lorn and Master, have washed your feet : ye also ought to wash one another s| feet.
