It may be that aome will object that the Ph»n*eea were a particular claa* of people living at a particular date in the world's history: tbet ihrv have long since pamed on carrying all their frailties with them Oi what tier to apeak of Pharisees to-day? It most be responded that thia new it wholly soperfi.-Ul—that .Train spoke lor all •gea; that in Pharisaism were certain fundamental trait# that appear over and over again. Pharisaism is not yet dead; the name is changed, but the characteristic* reappear. Few men are far enough beyond Pkatiasiara to make a protest against the diacuaaior of the loetneu of Pharisaism

especially relevant.

Firat of all, the stay-at-home hit thought of himself. "Lo, tbeee many year# do I aerre thee.” The word aa not at all accidental; it ia a err. rial part of the pictore; it atrikea nt one drep fault, of iTianaaiam-the inability oi the Ph*rit.« tfo n*c above the idea of aervan tan ip in hia thought of man's relation to frtvl. The elder brother did not take hiaiae.i a* a ran. but as a aerrant. and therefore wa* Ion in his thought of himself After the prodigal among the awing came to himself he said. ' ' worthy to be called thy a one of thy hired aerrant*." The prodigal thougnt of himself as lost forever to ship and hoped only for aerrantahip; C tb* grest redeeming fact in the i sinner a case was that he had eon the point where he could appreciate •hip l-poa that fact the father restored ."l- V* Prodigal had learned something is fra discrace. He had learned to think of himaclf aa one who had sinned against aonahin. With that lesion there followed 1 will anae and go to my father.*’ So fag sa this essential realization of eonahip wai concerned the elder '.ircther naa aa loat ns the wcadcrer who bad gone to the far

country.

Again, the Iminea* of the atay-at-home Piwars from his thought of sen ice. "And . never triu»gra*»cd a commandant ot thine " These u-ord* are no more accidental n the other*. The Mseter i» cutting

close to the ra*cntia! weakm creed and practice of Phariani*

tithes of all that he possessed."

Firat. the negative aspect of the Phan aic erred. According to Pharisaism region conaiats largely in not doing. Never" i a the blessed word. Aducrrnre o the "never" erred canaea the inert anil paaaionle** worshiper to mistake the IiatIcaaura* of death for the peace that pa**eth uudcrsta tiding.

And then the other port of the creed— the word "rONsmindment" \Vhat the Ma*ter bed in mind wa* the Pharisee'* ing by rale. He is exposing the woodennen and n-'.-lianiculnesa of Pharisaic

Suppose one were to assume in dealing >ib men that all r-en are liar*. It can- ! be proved beforehand that ell men are |

The **.'• path in the long ran I* th* a**umpti*m that there it good in all men and Uia! tbe good can lie reachnl and made better, particular ce*ea thi* may fail, but it ia general the only Christian view. He who. like the elder brother, holds to the tbit the returning prodigal i« ho;>e- ■ and irretrievably loat. i* himaclf nandenr-s in the uildctnce* far from ’ i*t$. th* lo*tneaa of the stay-at-home . -ar» fr:a hi* thought of reward. ■Thou never gavest me a kid." The elder •tber steina to hgve been serving with 1 thought of material pay. He waa ug the work for what he could get out it. HU thought of reward moves along ow plane. Je«u« condemned !’b*ruai*m because of it* low view of reward. The taskmaster was to pay at the clow of tba

dm

think of heaven a* a place of ’material and rather earthly time*. And again. Jbe brother waa mat in placing empba*i* upon an extraordinary forgiver.es* and leome a* of more than the favor of the .Tfkvl* continued and ever present afiecin. It it sometimes suggested that one of th: imiortant lessons of thi* pr.rabie rebuke of the Christian who complain* because the contrition of the retuning penitent sometime* it rewarded by nore of ecstatic blessing than is hia own nog continued aervice of God. However hi* may be as a matter of strict exegean. it ■ perfectly clear that the thought which •ate* tbe exceptional manifestation of interest as of more value than the continued favor of the father's presence, wanders far astray "Son. thon are ever with me. and all that ia mine ia thine." Thi# ia the greet reward, the fa>or of oimpamjnshio and nartnerahip with the Father—a apiritual benefit and blessing, beside which all roa- ‘ Trial thinga fall into nolhincesa. The pnn- -';•*! reward i* spiritual. We are no: to think of rav but of companionship with blessed God! Any thought of reward !r than thi# ia loat. There is r arnre in which the atav-at-home ara* i * prodigal brother. With his niggard v thought of lower reward, he reckleaaly overlooked -nd wasted th* companiunahin and love •hfrh were poured out around him. There •ere two prodigmla in the family. It would be rathet a difficult tiak to decide which

the sprit of life i* lost.

The loatne as of the stay-at-home atitl further appears from hit unnatural heartlea*ora*. “Thy aon!” The»* word# are doubly heart:***, they repudiate brotherhonu with the re* urn ing prodigal and they ri-iroicN the f.-tber for not looking upon such a son aa bis own. Heart'essne** a!moat inevitably folio wa mechanicalism. H U natural that it should be ao. There ■» no heart in a cumbersome set of comn / *ndmen's. Commaadmenta having to deal a<mply with doings and not with feeling* - *c in the nature of the car* wooden and I'eleaa. If life be looked npon a« something to be fitted into a scheme of comnaodmenta. all tb* fragrance of *ae feeling evaporatra. This ptclnre of the elder brother is tho perfect setting forth of the heart'esanes* of developed I’hit-isiirai. The hearties* .es* came not out of de'iberite diaboli--n, bt-l out o.‘ mechanical leaahra. In the end. however, these

are not far a- art.

It would aec-n ouite the faabioa in tl matter of fa - days to ridicule emotionalism. There s instead a kind of emotion•!iam that G-oerre* ridicu’e. Th# pikr that con«iat* on.y in being happy U a poor piety. But a-.rike emotionalum out of re-
