-Tho Spirit of Christian Service.
I. Jesus Dines With a Pharisee (v. 1).
Jesus enteied freely Into the common
social customs of the day. Wo see.
Him at it wedding, a dinner party, In
the home of sickness, and at a funeral.
He was tiuly a man among men. Ho
was unlike John the llnptlst In this
respect. The Christian's Influence la
best when mingling with his fellow
men In all right relations and positions
In life, even though selfish und evil
minded persons ure found among
them. Tills docs not mean that he
should be a partaker of their evil
deeds. Jesus in thuu moving In all
circles of human society showed the
divine sympntliy. While Jesus was in
society he was not of It. So should
tho Christian be. Jesus was In n com
pany outwurdly courteous but Inward
ly hostile. Doubtless the motive of the
Invitation was to find an occasion
against Him. This Is Implied in the
stntement "they watched Him."
II. Jesus Healing a Dropsical Man
(vv. 2-0).
1. Why This Man Was Present (v.2).
There is no way of absolutely de
termining It, but likely it was part of
n plot of the Pharisees to trap Jesus
by getting Illm to violnto the Sabbath
rules.
2. Jesus'- Question (v. 3). Jesus
question wus an answer to the thoughts
of the lawyers and Pharisees who
were watching Hlin, for they had not
spoken. Dcfore healing this man Ho
submitted the case to their Judgment.
Thoy were free on the Snbbath day to
hold a feast where their selfish prldo
and vanity could be displayed, but they
were horrified that a fellow-man should
be healed on the Snbbnth. They were
silent because their consciences made
them ashnmed of their heartlcssness.
3. Healing the Man (v. -1). While
they were in u stnte of embarrassment
Jesus henled the man and let him go.
4. Jesus Rebuked Them (vv. 5, 0).
He laid bare their hypocrisy by show
ing them that their willingness to show
mercy to a beast on the Sabbath should
Induce them to regurd its not sinful
to- relieve n humnn being of distress on
the Sabbath. They were ugaln Bllent,
for they perceived their Inconsistency
and inhumanity.
III. Jesus Rebukes Selfish Ambi
tion (vv. 7-10).
1. The Occuslon (v. 7). lie observed
thnt the guests while taking their
places at the table chose the best
seats for themselves. This Is still tru&
of men and women. In the railway
cars, hotels, street cars, etc., they
scramble for the best places. In the
homes even members of the snme fam
ily will try to get the best food, etc."
2. Instruction Given (vv. 8-11).
When bidden to a feast, take the lour
cst placo lest you suffer the humilia
tion of being asked to take n lower
scat. This Is more than a lesson n
courtesy or table manners; It la a
severe rebuke of that selfishness which
fills the human heart, causing It to seek
to be ministered to Instend of minister
ing to others. Unselfishness will ex
press Itself In humbly tnklng the low
est plnce, esteeming others better than
ourselves. The fundamental principle
of tho philosophy governing tlio moral
world, Jesus declares to bo: "Whoso
ever cxaltetli himself shall he abased,
and he that luunbleth himself shnll bo
exalted."
IV. The True Motive In Deeds of
Charity (vv. 12-14).
Jesus takes ndvuutngo of this social
occasion to teach a great principle.
The Jews, like many of tho rich today,
made social dinner occasions for dis
play. Thoy Invited only those whose
wealth would enable them to recom
pense them by Inviting them in return.
Jesus took note of tho selfishness thus
displayed nnd set forth to thorn tho
right principle, namely, that they
should extend their hospitality to the
poor and nflllcted. All charitable deeds
should be done with unselfish motives.
Jesus nssured them that compensation
would bo mndo nt tho resurrection of
the Just. This docs not mean thnt
friends and neighbors of certain rank
should never exchange plcnsnnt hos
pitalities. Wealth Bhpuld be used to
confer blessings upon the poor and
needy instead of ministering to the
pride nnd vanity of the possessor.
How Churches Grow.
Once there was a Chinese laundry.
Then Is beenmo a store. Then It be
camo n church. For ten years U.
served In this capacity, and from It
has come a group of 47 communicants
and 100 children who, this year, huve
acquired their own new building, St.
Philip's chapol, New Orleans.
The Earnest of the Spirit.
Now ho that hath wrought us for the
selfsame thing Is God, who also hath
given unto us tho earnest of the Spirit,
