This was Christ's last great day ot teaching in Jerusalem. ~ PLACE.—In the temple at Jerusalem. | CIRCUMSTANCES—On Sunday He had offered - himself to the Jews as their Messiah King, by entering the capital in triumphal procession. On Monday He had with kingly authority driven out from His Father's house those who - were defiling it with worldly traffic, and performed miracles worthy of the Messiah, thus presenting His claims again tor their accept- . ance. Once more He presents his claims and makes known the'great opportunity offered the people from God for earthly and spiritual sal- | vation: and brings home the truth to them as clearly as if written with a pencil of light on the sky, by means of three parables, one of which is given in to-day's lesson. These parables are severe and threatening, *‘but the spirit of them is love.” “In the deepest sense l He spoke them not against the Pharisees, but for them.” : ; 1 LESSON NOTES. W God has intrusted to each of us a "blessed and fruitful vineyard, which we are to culture for Him. He has planted. His new life im us. He hasgiven us our life, our soul. He gives us each a portion of all those things He has committed to the church as a whole. He makes ys fruitful by His Word and His Spirit. He gives us every means of grace by which to cultivate the vineyard.” He gives us defenses. He is our watch-tower. He gives grace for every time of need. He furnishes the armor against temptation. The body is a vineyard that is intrusted to our care, to be well treated as an instrument for doing God’s work. A good. workman always takes good care of his tools. The mind is still more wonderful, and should be educated, trained, kept pure and bright, that it may bring forth fruit for the Master. The soul, the very self—the citadel, the dwelling place of the moral nature, the fountain of character—is a vineyard that should be kept with all diligence, ‘‘for out of it are the issues of life.” : The fruits are gratitude, love, obedience, worship, consecration of time, talents and property toward God; and all the.fruits of the Spirit toward men; intelligence, generosity, character, growth. Note that, as the cultivator of the vineyard was to enjoy the fruits it bore, and the more fruitful it was, the more industriously he cultivated it for the owner, th¢ more abundant and delightful was hls own reward; so it is with those to whom-God has intrusted His spiritual vineyard; every fruit God requires is best for themselves. Sending for the Fruits.—Every special call to love and serve God, every service at the church, every opportunity to do good, every providence of God, every season of revival, the voice of the | Holy Spirit, the Sabbath, the Bible, ' conscience—all are servants whom God ' sends to us for the fruits that are due Him. The Fruits Refused.—The béhavior ' of these husbandmen is only a picture -of the way impenitent men still treat - God’s- messengers of mercy—the Holy Spirit, the Bible, the influences of religion.. What greater meanness in the universé than our rejection of God’s ‘messengers while we are actually enJoying the vineyard He gave us? ' The unspeakable love of God to usis - shown in the sending of His Son (John 8:16). He is the wisdom and power of - God for salvation. God has done all that infinite love can do to save us. He

comes often to our souls with special influences to lead us to accept Him. Everyone at some time comes to the valley of decision. If we reject Christ for this world we are lost for this avorld. Those who reject Christ from their lives and plans, in order that they may keep possession of themselves, their pleasures and hopes, have taken the shortest and surest wav to lose them. The righteous shall inherit the earth. If we refuse th%source of righteousness we reject our earthly inheritance. How much more is this true of the future! Those who reject Christ canuot be saved. They refuse eternal life; they® reject the very principles which make Heaven what it is. They repel the strongest influence that can lead them to a holy life. They throw away their last hope. Though milds of God grind slowly, yet %llljey grind exceeding small; Though with patience He stands waiting, with exactness grinds He all. S Sl Elephants’ Tongnzes. “Only a few of the many<people who have thrown peanuts into the elophants’ mouths,” said Head Keeper Manley of the zoological gardens to a Philadelphia Record man, ‘have noticed that the tongue is hung at both ends. A tongue hung in the middle is a human complaint, but elephants hgve a monopoly on those hung at both ends. The trunk suffices to put the food just where it ought to be, and the tongue simply keeps it moving from side to side over the grinders. When a peanut gets stuck on the elephant’s tongue he raises it in the middle, like a moving caterpillar, and the shell cracks against the roof of the mouth, to then disappear down a capacious throat.” ; 7 : CYCLING LORE. !
