Wherein Is Excess; bnt lie Filled with the Spirit" Kphriam 5:18 bcriptnral Light. him, unto Lord, us, or INCE we have this subject here only In this course, although in -the other prospels it comes som months later, it will be well for the teacher to brinpr to gether what Jesus says upon it in various places. The occasion for this warning', in the cir cumstances of the disciples, their pecu liar temptations, and dangers, and opportunities, should be first made clear. The application to our own times can then come with greater force. For every reason why the disciples should watch Is Intensified in our own times. The application to temperance is very clear, and the emphasis can be laid upon this ap plication according to the needs of each class. The Section includes verses 3C-4S, together with the similar teachings about w-atchfulness on the Tuesday before the crucifixion, four months later. See Light from Other Scriptures. The full lesson for to-day Is as follows: 37. Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when he cometh shall find watch ing: verily I say unto you that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. 3S. And if he shall come In the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. 39. And this know, that if the "good man of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken throutrh. 40. Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. CL Then Peter said unto speakest thou this parable even to all? 42. And the Lord said. Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat In due season ? 43. Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 44. Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. 45. But, and if that servant say in his heart. My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 46. The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him. and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 47. And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48. But he that knew not, and did com mit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whom soever much is given, of him shall be much required; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. Some explanations to to-day's lesson are as follows: Vs. 37-39. 37. "Shall find watching." The word "watching" expresses not a mere act, but a state of wakefulness and watching. "What the Savior enjoins is not curiosity straining to be the first to see the returning master, but the wakeful ness and diligrence that overlooks no duty, indulges no indolence. The last thing that would please a master would be the idle curiosity which would make the servants neglect their work to stand outside the door gazing to catch a glimpse of his return. What the master desires is wakeful work." R. Glover. We watch by serving the Lord as faithfully as if he were ever looking upon us. We watch by being on our guard against every temptation and danger. Watchful ness is the opposite of careless security; it is a state of readiness. Against What to Watch. We are to watch against temptations from within and without: against pervading Iniquities which fill the air with moral malaria, or chill the piety of even the church; against failure in duty; against the loss of the warmth of first love; against the day of death apd of judgment, so as to be pre pared for them when they come. 38. "Second or third watch." Always watching, whether it be early or late. "The watch was a military division of the night, covering the hours occupied by each of the four relays of guards sta tioned from 6 p. m. to C a. m." American Commentary. A Reason for Watching. 39. "If the goodman," the master or head, "of the house, had known what hour." A rob ber always tries to come unexpectedly. When a house has not been robbed for a long time men are apt to relax their vigilance. 40. "The son of man cometh in an hour when ye think not." Not only his final coming, but all his -comings are sudden, at unexpected times, and in unexpected ways. There is only one way to -be safe against temptation, only one way to be ready to enter open doors of usefulness, or new work, to be prepared for death and the judgment, and that is to be al ways on guard, always watching, always ready. If we are unprepared the oppor tunities pass us forver. Vs. 41-44. 41. "Peter said." Peter recog nized that the apostles were referred to, and would of course reap the great re ward promised, but how about other peo ple? Was there room for them? 42. "The Lord said." He now implies by a parable what he at another time directly said (Mark 13:37), "What I say unto you I say unto all. Watch." "Who then is that faithful and wise steward." 43. "Blessed." He - possesses all the beatitudes. "Shall find so doing." We see by this illustration" of Christ what he means by watching; not gazing up into the heaven for signs, but faithful perform ance of duty, as if God himself were ever present, with hope and joy in the thought of his coming. . In many cases .watching is joined with prayer, because he that means to watch will seek- all -the helps possible, especially the guardianship of uofl. How's This!

Every boy and jrirl has heard of the trreat composer Handel- Here is a little story told of him and of Dr. Maurice Green, a musician whose compositions were never remarkably fine. It seems he had sent a solo an them to Handel for his opinion, and i Handel invited hirn to take breakfast, i and he would say what be thourrht of ! it. After coffee Green's patience be j'came exhausted, and he saui: "Well, sir, what do you think of it?" j "Oh. your anthem! Ah, I did t'ink . dat it wanted air." I "Air!" cried Green.
