S(JNDAY_SCHDOL I Lesson I.—Fourth Quarter, For Oct. 4, 1914, THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. 1 ' Text of the Lesson, Mark xiv, 1-11. Memory Verses, 8, 9 —Golden Text, Mark xiv, B—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This lesson consists of two parts, the anointing at Bethany and the agreement of Judas Iscariot with the chief priests to betray Him. The anointing is recorded by Matthew, Mark and John; the mention of the passover and of the sin of Judas by Matthew, Mark and Luke. According to Matt, xxyi, 1,2, it was after Jesus had finished the sayings of chapters xxiv and xxv and two days before the passover that He spoke of His approaching betrayal and crucifixion, and we would conclude from Matthew and Mark that the supper and anointing took place at that time. From the account in John xii it would seem that it was six days before the passover and preceding the so called triumphal entry that they had the supper and anointing. It seems impossible to arrange clearly some times the sequence of all the events in our Lord’s life, but the gospels were written that we might know Himself rather than the order of events in His life. It is to some confusing that, while Luke does not record this anointing, he does mention an anointing in chapter vii, 30-50, which was also In the house of a man called Simon. But that was an altogether different event, much earlier in His ministry and by a woman whose name is not given, whose sins He forgave. The event of our lesson was in the home of Martha and Mary in Bethany, whose brother, Lazarus, had been raised from the dead (John xii, 1,2). Matthew and Mark say that it was in the house of Simon the leper, but what relation he was to Martha and Mary we are not told and therefore do not need to know. If we think of it, and it seems wise to do so, we can ask them when we see them. John says that Lazarus sat at the table with Him. What a suggestive saying! The man who had been four days in the spirit world back on earth alive a unwell— a man whom the chief to put to death because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus (John xii. 9-11). At this supper Martha served, but there is no record of her being cumbered as in Luke x, 40, so we may hope that she had grown spiritually since that incident. In view of such words as Phil, iv, 6,7: I Pet. v, 7, we should never be cumbered or anxious. The words “They made Him a supper" make us think of His post ascension words in Rev. iii, 20, and of the -blessed assurance that if any one will open the door He will come in and sup with them. As He sat at meat Mary came with an alabaster box containing a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and she broke the box and poured it on His head and anointed His feet and wiped His feet with her hair (verse 3; Matt, xvi, 7; John xii, 3). Not only was the house filled with the odor of the ointment, but also the whole worjd, for He said in verse 9 that wherever in all the world the gospel should be preached, this that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her. This was real worship on the part of Mary, heart adoration, and it was very costly on her part and very precious to His heart. We are reminded of a saying of David in II Sam. xiv, 24, “Neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which I doth cost me nothing.” Some one has said that in Martha. Mary and Lazarus we have a sample of a well rounded Christian life—in Martha restful service, in Mary real worship and in Lazarus the power of a risen life. There will always be some indignant ones when more than ordinary (which is ordinarily very little) is given to Him. It will be called a waste and by other names, while all spent upon ourselves will seem all right. Judas Iscariot is called a thief in John xii, 6, but what about the thieves of Mai. iii, S? If His love to us does not con- • strain us to spend more for Him than on ourselves then it *s evident that we love ourselves most. How comforting His word “Let her alone. * ♦ ♦ she hath wrought a good work on me” (verse 6>. Would that some other faultfinding meddlers might hear His “Let alone!” If we are sure that we are doing all “Unto Him” we may be confident of His approval whatever others may say. His other word, “She hath done what she could” (verse S), we may not so sure of, for of how few can it be said that we have done all that we could. He is the judge and will surely give all possible credit that He can. He said that she anointed His body beforehand for burying, and I believe that was her purpose, that she so intended it, for it was her custom, when she could to sit at His feet and hear His word. She was not found with the other women who bought spices to anoint His dead body and never used them for that purpose. She seemed to understand about His cruel death at the hand of His enemies and that she could not minister to Him then, so having made her preparation, she watched for her opportunity, aud He arranged it for her, for he read her heart. How awful the contrast between the heart of Judas Iscariot and this devoted heart that loved Him so! —Let Richhart do your pressing and cleaning. Work and prices are right. Over Kltnk’s meat market —GERBLELE and NEVER FAIL Flour are the best at any price. To pay more is extravagant, to pay less is not true economy.
