Jesus believed and taught that David wrote the 110th Psalm——44 vs. 2. Jesus taught that David was in- spirtd by the Holy Spirit to speak these words. 3. Jesus uses David's testimony to prove His own divinity. 4. If David did not write the 110th Psalm, as some of the critics claim, then Jesus was either deceived or a deceiver. 5. For further Scripture evidence to the truth of Christ's testimony, see Acts 2:34-35; Heb. 10:12-13; 1 Cor. 15:25; Heb. 1:3-13; Heb. 12:2. 6. Scripture evidences that David was a prophet and inspired by the Holy Spirit to testify concerning Christ. I I Sam. 23:2; Mark 12:36; Acts 1:16; 2 Pet. 1:21. How could Christ be David's Son and at the same time David's Lord? Bom. 1:3-4; 1 Cor. 3:16; Heb. 2:14; Phil. 2: 6-8; Bev. 22:16. As Son of God (divine) 43-44 vs. God manifest (in the flesh) 45 vs. John 1:14. Son of David (human). 42 vs. Lord, 43-45 vs. The critics had come with their ques- tions to entangle Christ. He used the Scriptures to instruct and confuse them, and put the whole company to flight and silence them forever. They were not seeking light, therefore were not profited by their instruction. Inasmuch as they would not glorify Christ by their conversion, Christ glorified Himself by their confusion. LESSON FOB SUNDAY SEPT. 25, 1910 Temperance Lesson. Gal. 5:16-26. By B. A. Hadden.

A few concise notes in relation to the history of the Galatian churches, the occasion for and the purpose of Paul's Epistle seem to be necessary to a cor- rect understanding of the passage now before us. (1) Location: Galatia was a province or district of Asia Minor, lo- cated between Bithynia and Cappado- cia. (2) Population: The people of Galatia, as the name indicates, were " t f a u l s ," a part of the terrible flood of barbarians that swept over Greeee 280 B. C. (3) Organization: Described briefly in Acts 16:6, 18:23, Gal. 1:2. Ef- fected by the preaching of Paul and his co-laborers, on tue occasion of his sec- ond missionary journey. (4) Character- ization. The Galatians were a fickle peo- ple, subject to sudden, easy change in thinking, believing and action (Cf. Ch. 1:6, 3:1, 5:1)... They had been greatly affected by the preaching of Paul, in- tense devotion and zeal were quickly manifest; Paul passes to "regions be- yond," and a change takes place in the Galatians; Paul's authority as an apostle is set aside and the doctrine of the faith way as seen in Bomans is rejected; what had wrought the change? (5) Opposition: Judaistic teachers from Jerusalem followed Paul from place to place and subsequent to his de- parture would instantly assail the preacher and his doctrine. This took place in Galatia (Cf. chap. 1:7, 2:11-14, 3:1). These crafty workers wooed and forthwith won the flckle people; attack- ing in a subtle way the office of Paul as an Apostle, the authority of his message and asserted that the Faith Way as taught by Paul was not sufficient, some- thing more than faith was necessary to salvation and sanctification... They of- fered to the impressionable Galatians a substitute, faith and works, and the Ga- latians surrendered the Faith Way for Legalism in view and practice. (6) De- fection. The Galatians became legalists. They had begun in the Spirit, now they sought perfection by the flesh (Cf. chap.
