THE SAVIOR'S TEACHINGS BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE STUDIES

CHRISTIANITY AND THE LAW. Matthew v, 17-2 S—May 19. "He that lot l th hie niijhhor hath fulfilled the '■'Laic.*:— flomans riii. S. C HE Great Teacher declared that He came not to destroy the Law and the Prophets, but to fulfil them. While the Law was spoken of as Moses’ Law, it was really the Divine Law given to Israel as a basis for the Divine Covenant with that nation, and Moses merely stood as mediator of that Law Covenant—That agreement by which Israel was obligated to keep the Law. and God was obligated if they did so to grant them everlasting life. Divine fa-

vor and the glorious privilege of men t s for the blessing of all nations. under Messiah's Kingdom. The failure of even the mast sincere Israelites to gain the promi s e d everlasting life proved, not

that God’s Law was unjust. but that Israel, like the remainder of the world; shared by inheritance Adamic weaknesses, which so impaired their moral quality that they could not keep God’s perfect Law, which our Lord defined to be wnoleshearted love for God and “Golden Rule" love for the neighbor. The Gospel of Jesus magnifies the Jewish Law by admitting its righteousness. The prop' sition of Jesus in respect to His followers is this: He, being perfect, was able ,to keep the Mosaic Law perfectly, and had a right, therefore, to everlasting life, and needed not to have died; but instead of retaining His life He laid it down sacrifi. tally, as a part of the great Divine Plan for human redemption. That sacrifice will bring to the world the blessed opportunity for eternal life which, it has been promised, Messiah’s Kingdom will bring. But meantime the Redeemer, carrying out Jehovah’s plans, offers an imputation of His merit to any who have His spirit of full consecration to do the Father’s will by laying down the. present life sacrificially, to gain with the Redeemer a heavenly, spiritual lif?, glory, honor, immortal-

ity, the Divine nature, as Messiahs joint-heirs in His Kingdom. All who thus do will be counted as a part of the spiritual Seed of Abraham, through whom all the families of the earth will receive their blessing. These disciples of Jesus sacrifice their earthly Interests and rights and thus become reckonedly dead to earthly things. God accepts their sacrifices and begets them of the Holy Spirit. Thus they become New Creatures in Christ. But, how could God accept a blemished offering? and are not these New Creatures held responsible for the conduct of their flesh, so long as they live—-until their sacrifice is completed? The Scriptures answer. The great High Priest, who presents these offerings as part of His own sacrifice, covers their imperfections by an imputation of the merit of His own sacrifice, which is already in the hands of Justice waiting for application on behalf of the sins of the world. When this High Priest thus presents us to God, covered with His own merit as a robe, we are assured that the sacrifices are “holy and acceptable unto God.” As for subsequent weaknesses of the flesh, the New Creature is indeed held responsible for its mortal body, but since our High Priest tasted death for every man and for all sins of heredity, therefore these New Creatures in Christ are assured that all their trespasses, of ignorance, or weakness, may be forgiven, and that the Redeemer, their Head and Representative in glory, will, upon application, impute His merit for the cancelation of such imperfections. that they may be maintained in their standing, “without spot or wrinkle or any such thing.” The Pharisees' Standard Lower.

lowers were hearer right in heart than were the Pharisees they would not get into the Kingdom at all. (We must remember the difference between the embryo Kingdom inaugurated at Pentecost and the glorious Kingdom into which the faithful will be ushered by the First Resurrection.) All Christ’s followers must\ not only guard their actions but also their lips and the very thoughts of their hearts, that even In thought they shall be in fullest accord with the spirit of the Divine Law of love. The intimation is that if we have wronged a brother and delay to make the matter right and the case come before the Lord for settlement, we will be obliged to suffer the full penalty of our neglect, “the uttermost farthing,’’ before we will be fully restored to Divine favor and fellowship.

The biggest thing in any man’s life is his home. It is the inspiration and the center of all his ambition, of all his hopes for success. Without a home, a man is a ship at sea without a rudder. A home gives a man a reason for living. Every man craves it, every man needs it. And in these days it is possible for anyone who is paying rent right along to save for himself the landlord’s profit, and own his own home. There are many landlords who are not only making a living, but growing wealthy, by borrowing money, building houses with it, and renting them to people y. i o, if they realized it, could, with little effort, just as well build or buy homes for themselves. One hundred dollars saved up and paid down will be accepted as first payment for a moderate-cost home in almost apv town or city in the United States, and will start you on the road to ownership. The rest always comes easier, for there is now a constant incentive to added effort and thrift. Of course, there should be reason in this, as in other things. One should not buy too expensive a place, any more than he should attempt to "showoff ’ by buying too elaborate and expensive clothing, z The more expensive home will come later if you first “make good" by adjusting your demands io your abilities, and exercising

patience. In the meantime, remember you are saving the landlord’s profit. You are also reaping the “unearned Increment” of increased valuation on. your property, and it is a fact that in a»y live, growing city or town the appreciation in value' of property will more than offset depreciation and cost of upkeep on the improvements thereon. . Then, again, there is the great satisfaction and pride of being under your own roof, which cannot be sold over your head, and the delight of being able to “potter around” and fix things up according to your own fancy, knowing all the while that everything added in the way of convenience or improvement is so much added in dollars and cents to the value of your property. That this is no dream is strikingly demonstrated by the prevailing popu-

Floor Plan.

larity of the cozy cottage type of dwelling, commonly designated as the “bungalow”—a word of East Indian origin—and the extent to which buildings in this class are being multiplied all over the country. This type of house —built either wholly one-story or with a few rooms directly under the roof in what would otherwise be the attic —is such as to lend itself to a great variety of treatment and arrangement, these features, however, being governed altogether by the individual tastes and requirements of the prospective occupants. A very attractive, cozy and well arranged six room cottage home of the

type referred to is illustrated in the half tone perspective view herewith and the accompanying floor plan. The width of the house is 31 feet; its length 47 feet. The basement extends under the entire house, and there is an attic. The rooms are all well lighted, the three bedrooms, each of ■which has a capacious closet of its own, are arranged along one side of th® house, the other side being devoted to the waking activities of domestic life. The front porch is sufficiently large to provide a shaded outdoor gathering place for the family in fine weather. The front door opens into a vestibule, which, through a door at the left, we enter the cheery living room with its large bay window at the front end. Four small casement window’s also admit light over the library bookcase or other furnishings that may be ranged along the side of the room. The living room opens directly into the dining room through an opening flanked by two columns. At one end. of the dining room another bay w’indow admits ample sunshine and enlarges the view to be had from the inside; at the other end, doors open into the front and middle bedrooms. Connection betw'een dining room and kitchen is through the pantry, which is lighted by a w indow, and provided with a shelved cupboard or buffet for china, glassware, etc. A small closed hallway leads directly from the dining room to the bath room on the middle line of the house, at the rear. This hallway has a linen closet, and opens on the right into the rear bedroom, and on the left into the kitchen. A rear porch of the kitchen gives access to and from the back yard. The cost of building such a house

■ as this would range in different locals ties from $2,300 to S2,E>OO.

TREASURES OF LOST DUNWICH

Sea Gives Up Relics of Ancient English City Swallowed Up by Ocean. The recent extraordinary high tide wrought strange havoc on the Suffolk (England) coast. At Thorpness, Aldeburgh, a million tons of sand were washed away, and bungalows on the coast which were a hundred yards away from the sea, were within a few feet of highwater mark. But the most curious act Was that hundreds of coins of gold, silver and bronze, and dating back in many cases to early Saxon time, were brought to light, also antique bronze rings and ornaments and an old bag clasp of bronze, with a silver inscription believed to be of the age of King John. This coast is of the greatest antiquarian interest. Standing on it, according to local legend, the wayfarer at twilight can hear the bells of the submerged churches of Dunwlch in the sea. Of this place, once a populous seaport, little or nothing now remains.

Here centuries ago were stationed Roman troops; here was a Saxon city of great importance, Dummoceastre, and here about 630 A. D. Sigeberht, king of East Anglia, built himself a palace and erected a cathedral, which was consecrated by Archbishop Honor ius. There were 15 bishops of Dunwlch before the sea disappeared. At one time the city boasted six churches, in addition ,to convents, hospitals and other public buildings. Under Henry 11. its ships voyaged as far as Iceland. In the reign of Edward 111. the old port was swept away, with 400 houses. One by one five of its churches were Undermined by the waves, and today only one remains, a melancholy ruin, with a fragment of a monastery and Ue scanty remains of a-Jsper hospital. Ships, harbor, city, an "have gone; even the very ruins have perished with the above exceptions. But on the shore still grows the “dtinwich rose,” which by tradition was first brought to East Anglia by the monks 1,400 years ago. -w

The ONLOOKER

By WILBVR D. NESBIT

WHJNQim tjwbbit I MM. |W J? I Mill.

They said last year when Easter was, an’ me an’ brother John Got lots o’ eggs with names an’ lots o’ little pictures on. That rabbits laid the Easter eggs, an’ pa he showed me where Th’ paper had a picture of th’ rabbit nest, an’ there Was colored eggs all roundabout, an’ rabbits hoppin’ round As if they’s glad their Easter eggs by little boys was found. Ari* so I got a bunny now! I had it for a week, ’ An’ it ain’t cackled none at all, although I go an’ peek Inside its little house an* look if I can find some eggs— But it just sits up when I come, an’ begs an’ begs an’ begs For lettuce leaf an’ cabbage leaf, an* shivers with its nose— I wonder if a rabbit flaps its wings some when it crows! I’m tryin’ to encur-ridge it; iS’e give it lots o’ straw*— But it don’t build a nest at ail, it wants to sit an’ gnaw Th’ cabbage leaves, an’ hop around an* scare at dogs an’ cats. An’ turn an’ jump a foot or two when I look through th’ slats. An’ when it’s night th’ rabbit won’t get up there on th’ roost. An’ doesn’t like It when I try to help it with a boost. I’ve showed it pictures like I want put on my Easter eggs— I guess it understande me, ’cause it took them' with its legs In front, an’ held them up, an’ tried to eat them, too; Then let them drop an’ looked at me as if to say it knew Just what I meant —but still it’s mighty queer; It hasn’t laid an egg at all, an* Easter’s nearly here. It just sets round an’ spends its time a wriggel-in’ its ears An’ jumpin’ sidewise, ’fraldlike, at each little sound it hears. I got some corn an’ stuff like chickens eat, an’ throwed it in. An* told my rabbit that it’s time egg-lay-in’ should begis; I got a nice big nest egg an’ I’ve put it in th’ nest An’ told my rabbit to sail In an* do its level best.

Polar Privations.

Mr. Amundsen tells of his winter quarters in the antarctic regions having been equipped with a plain bath and a steam bath. It is evident that hunting poles isn’t much more trouble nowadays than going riding on one of the fast trains. We do hope that Amundsen had in his party one of those people who are always telling about taking their cold plunge every morning. It would reconcile us to climbing over ice mountains, eating pemmican and things like that, just to hear him object to any one wanting a steam bath with the temperature at the nice, stimulating point of 140 below. Some wonder having been expressed at Amundsen’s reaching the pole so quickly, we hasten to point out that as there are no* Eskimo in the antarctic regions he did not have to carry a car load of gumdrops. Among other questions his records are expected to settle is the vexing one of whether it is “antarctic” or “antartic.”

Papa’s Deductions.

"I believe our baby is intoxicated,** remarked the proud papa. “Why, what do you mean?" demanded the fond mamma. “He seems to be full of high bawls,” explained the proud papa, whose knowledge of acoustics was thus shown to be equal to his information, as to intoxicants!.

“But,” they said to the illustrious nobleman, “how Is it that you are so well educated, if you spent every day of your life on the battlefield?” “Easy enough,” he answered; 1 went to knight school.”
