"Martha" (A Home Maker)
Luke 10:38-42; John 11:1-44.
This lesson introduces us into an
ideal home. There are three souls
whose hearts beat in unison for the
on of God; each one expressing theirXhis sickness; , there was no need for
love and. esteem fortheir giTeifTfhira- to- hurry;" he could finish the
their own way, one in giving service,
the other in receiving service from
tho guest. The service of each is
pleasing to the Lord; but there is
danger that either one may go on too
far Martha is in danger of neglect
ing the spiritual part of her religion,
in building up a strong, enduring
faith, in doing the one thing and
neglecting the other. Mary's attitude
is more pleasing to the Lord, but is
in danger of losing sight of serving
in feeding the hungry, clothing the
naked, etc. Mary should heed the in
junction of Jesus (Matt. 23:23):
"These things you ought to have
done, yet without leaving the other
undone." Is there not a great dan
ger that many church members rest
contentedly, after working hard to
make a church social a success en
tertaining the Ladies Aid getting up
a pageant or a program of some sort,
and cannot find the time or inclina
tion to sit "at Jesus' feet" in a pray
er and praise service, and let Iliin
serve them!
Martha, in trying to serve her Lord
with the best she has, and this un
expected company that has come, is
becoming a little irritable and ner
vous, and as she sees her sister, who
otherwise is always taking a hand
in housework, sitting idly and listen
ing to Jesus' words, loses her temper
and complains to Jesus that he re
mind her sister of her neglect. This
would have put any ordinary man in
a predicament, but not Jesus! See
how tenderly, lovingly and tactfully
he calm3 that ruffled brow and
soothes hsr vexed spirit: "Martha,
Martha, you are worried about a mul
titude of things; and yet only one
thing is needful. Mary has chosen !
the good portion and she shall not be
deprived of it." (Weymouth).
There is but one Martha named in
the Bible, but there are seven Marys.
A year haB passed and we find Jesus
again in the same home, but under
different circumstances. Sooner or
later every home tie will be broken;
the longest life comes to an end.
'Death,' the enemy of man waits his
time none can escape him. One day
Lazarus takes sick the sisters dis
patch a messenger to Jesus, that his
friend is sick; but before the word
reaches Jesus, Lazarus has died. Cus
tom in that country and climate
means burial the same day.
We shall see Christ's new revela-Jbe
tion of himself to Martha. Jesus is
on the east of Jordan in Peraea. Ob
serve here, in their extremity they

Lesson Study!
By L. Neitzel, Murdock. Neb.
i
turn to their' beloved teacher and
lord,; very confident that he will
know what to do. May we also re
member, that Lazarus was already
dead, when Jesus received word of
work where he was, and the miracle
in Bethany would be all the greater
when he arrived there.
The fourth day by evening, Jesus
comes to Bethany; the rumor of his
coming preceeded him. Martha hears
and goes to meet Jesus. She is con
fident that Jesus could have saved
her brother's life had he been there
in time, but look at her faith: "What
thou shalt ask of God, God will give
thee." Jesus said, "Your brother
shall rise again." "The first conso
lation and the Christian's chief con
solation at such an hour." (George
Reith).
Martha had learned that from
Jems teaching life after death. Tho
great doctrine of the Resurrection is
the best news for the bereaved, that
separation from their loved ones is
! but temporary. "I am the resurrec
tion and the life." As faith takes
Josus and admits him into the heart,
he has life eternal life within is
passed from death unto life and
there is no more death for those that
are in Christ Jesus, they shall never
die. "Believest thou this?"
The great confession of Martha is
as great as that of Simon Peter.
Jesus is still outside of Bethany it
is there he waits to meet Mary. The
sane scene as meeting Martha fol
lows. When Jesus received word
about Lazarus in Peraea, he prayed
to his father that this incident might
redound to His glory.
Together they go to the tomb. He
thanks God for the answer to his
prayer offered in Peraea. That is the
voice of victory. "Faith is the vic
tory." Jesus offers, the miracle as a
proof of His devine mission, ami that
to the unbelievers.
"Where have ye lain him?" "Mas
ter, come and see!" And Jesus wept.
"Three times we see Him weep; once
over the doomed City of Jerusalem,
onco in Geth3emane, and here. Al
ways, the tears are for others and
always because of sin. He beheld
death in all its tearfulness as the
wages of Sin; the woes of a whole
world, of which this was but a little
sample, rose up before his eyes, all its
mourners and all its graves - were
present ot him." (K. C. Trench).
And so we see ... a united fam
ily, through the power of Jesus. So,
clso, will all who believe on the Son
of God, to whom all power is given,
called at the last' trump, be re-
united with their loved ones and one
great happy family sing His praises
r.ithout cad.
