LESSON XI. The King's Marriage Feast.
God has given a universal invitation to the wedding of His Son. The cere- mony will occur in his own home. He provides the robe and the royal feast. It will go ill with those who treat His invitation witlj in difference, or who think their own clothes are good enough to wear in His presence. John 3:16; John 5:40; Phil. 3:9; Rev. 19:8.
LESSON I I. Parable of the Talents.
Use or lose is the central truth here. The Lord is coming and will reckon with men. The test is one of talents. What use have you made of the gifts of God? A searching solemn question for saint and sinners. We have all had opportunities; how have we used them? A man can so live that he will antici- pate with joy the rendering of his stew- ardship. i Cor. 4:1; John 2:28; I John 4:17. The title of this lesson is misleading. Compare and contrast with Bev. 20-: 11-15, where the judgment of the White Throne is depicted. Here you have a judgment of nations for their treatment of the Jews whom the Lord calls His brethren. The lesson is clear. We must not lose sight of the fact that the people of Israel have a preferred claim upon our affection and services. Bom. 1:16—the Jew first. opened, Jesus journeyed on to Bethany. His feet are turned and His face set toward the hill of suffering. A week of solemn service was before Him; the long shadows of the cross, upon which He was to make the sacrifice for sin, were upon Him. There journeyed with Him the twelve Apostles, and no doubt many other beloved disciples, who were drawn to Him by those wonderful ties which had separated them from earthly kindred and earthly possessions. How sweet was the fellowship as, mingling in friendly association, Master and fol- lowers tread those familiar roads and LESSON III. The Last Judgment.
LESSON XII. Three Questons.
The great commandment demands that men shall love God with all their hearts. A failure to do this make a man a great sinner. Who can hide from the power of this awful logic. It is not the murderer or the thief or the har- lot, but the man or the woman who does not love God. This one fact ought to be enough to drive men to the feet of Christ, who alone was able to keep the law. Bom. 8:1-4.

This lesson hrows additional light upon Lesson XI. The marriage of the King's Son will occur at an unexpect-
