SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson IV.—Third Quarter, For July 26, 1914. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Toxt of the Lesson, Luke xix, 11-27. Memory Verses 16, 17—Golden Text, Matt, xxv, 21—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The introduction to this parable of the pounds (verses 11, 12) seems to me most unmistakably clear concerning the postponement of the kingdom. They thought that it would immediately appear, and they had reason to think so, for John the Baptist aud the Lord Jesus and the twelve and the seventy had all proclaimed it as at hand (Matt ill, 2; iv, 17; x. 7; Luke x, 9). The mighty works wrought by the Lord and the twelve and the seventy indicated the coming of the kingdom. But when the rulers rejected the Messiah, the King, and determined to kill Him, that led to the unfolding of the present age of a rejected Christ, a scattered Israel and a postponed kingdom until the king shall return. He has gone to the far country to receive the kingdom and to return and has intrusted His servants with pounds and talents to use in His absence and give an account of at His return, and their position in His kingdom will depend upon their faithfulness in His absence. That the kingdom will come at His return is also plainly stated in Acts iii, 21, where we read that the heavens have received Him until the times of the restoration of all things of which the prophets have spoken. In the story of the talents in Matt, xxv, which should be studied with this lesson, there Is also an account of the far country, the goods Intrusted to the servants and the reckoning at the Master’s return. While in each record we .read of pounds and talents given to His servants to use. we read that some were wicked and slothful and finally found their place among the lost, so we must conclude that He gives opportunity to all who profess to be His servants to prove whether they really are so or not. No real servant of His can ever be lost, though some may be saved as by fire and have no reward (John x, 28; I Cor. Hi, 11-15). In the lesson on the pounds He gave the same to each, but in that on the talents He gave according to their ability, unto one five, to another two, to another one. The pound given to each may represent the Spirit given to every one to profit withal (I Cor. xii, 7). The Spirit spoke wondrously through Balaam, and we have no reason to doubt that Judas Iscariot did not do wonders like the others, yet neither were true servants. The talents may refer to the special gifts of the Spirit, given variously and in different measure, as He I may see fit (I Cor. xii, 8-11). I The first step is to receive the Lord | Jesus as Zaccheus did and thus obtain ! salvation as the free gift of God (Luke xix, 1-10; Rom. vi, 23; John i. 12; iii. 16; Rev. xxii, 17), then, having become a child of God, live to serve the living and true God w’hile we wait for His Son from heaven (I Thess. i, 9, 10; Tit. ii, 11-13; Rom. v, 1,2). I am continually, glad that He has appointed all our service, prepared all our good works beforehand, and that He Only expects us to minister as of the ability which He giveth, holding ourselves ready for any manner of service and wholly at His commandment (Eph. ai, 10; I Pet. iv, 11; I Chron. xxviii, 21). I am also glad that it is God who worketh in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure, working all things after the counsel of His own will (Phil, ii, -13; Eph. i, 11). Notice in the story of the talents the servants say “I have gained five talents more” or “I have gained two other talents,” while in the story of the pounds they say “Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds,” br “Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds,” recognizing that while we work It is really God who works, and yet He gives us the credit. It must be the vine bearing the fruit, else it counts for nothing (John xv, 5). Whether the gain be five talents or two talents, ten pounds or five pounds, the words of approval are “Thou good servant” or “Thou good and faithful servant.” Then notice in the recompense, authority over ten cities or five cities, ruler over many things, or, as we said at the beginning of the lesson, position in the kingdom according to. faithfulness, reward according to work (Luke xiv, 14; Rev. xxii, 12; II John 8. In reference to taking from the unfaithful servant “that he hath,” it is explained in Luke viii, 18, by the words, “that which he seemeth to have,” or as in the margin, “thinketh that he hath.” He only seemed to be a servant, thought that he was one, but was not really one. Oh, how necessary it is to be sure that we are indeed in Christ not thinking that it is all right because we are a bit religious or enjoy the service or like to do good or are church members, but certain that we can under the scrutiny of those eyes, like a flame of fire, say from the heart, “O Lord, Thou knowest that all my trust as a sinner is in Thy precious blood which was shed for me when Thou didst bear my sins 4>n Calvary (I Pet. ii, 24; Isa. liii, 5,6; i, 18: xliii, 25). The order in Matt, xxv is ready to enter in, then faithfully serving, then with Christ judging the nations. The order in Luke xix is saved, as was Zaccheus, then faithfully occupying till He come or till the triumphal entry shall be fully realized. Joe Bushong is going on crutches the effects of running a large splinter in his foot. He had to have the splinter cut out.
