THE SUNDAY SCHOOL, ix.— Fourth Quarter, For Nov. 28, 1909. the international series. Text of ths Lesson. Rom. xiv, 10-21. Memory Verses, 19, 20 — Golden Text, Rom. xiv, 21— Commentary Prepared • by Rev. D. M. Stearne. Bishop Monle speaks of this sect I- -i ' of this epistle from chapter xli on- ! ward aa "present duties in the power i of eternal facts." Some of the fads ! 1 are the sin that Is in ineii. the re- • demptiou that is In Christ Jesus lor sinful man. the "no condemnstion ' and "no separation" of chapter Till a i l a result of that great redemption and ( the farreacbing. glorious pro8|*«-t tor the wbolp creation with Israeli us a < I righteous center bringing true riches , to all uatiiH.8. The effect of this upon j I the mind of the believer should be 1 sucb a renewal that ln-uceforth be is , done with this present evil age and done witb Uiuiseif and determined to , wholly in tbe perfect will of God , a new creature in Christ, old things , passed away, all things become new (Bom. xli.

It seems to me that the g , point in our lesson Is that ea.-li '■ , should for bimselt get right i:> r: matter and not misspend hi.- tnn-- l". | seeking to get others right » ill.- h. , himself is all wrong. "Every <m- • ' ns shall give account of himself t , God" (verse 12i. Therefore why ju k ■ . our brother in any matter, aud espe daily In eating and drinking, since a ' , believers must stand before tbe Judgment seat of God. or of Christ, fur , Christ Is God? (Verse 10.1 If we have , received the Lord Jesus, then we are in Christ and arc looked upon aathav , ing died with Him and risen with , Him, so that onr Judgment for sin 1.-- , past on Calvary, and we have Alls as- { , suranee that onr sins and Iniquities He will remember no more. It is possible as His redeemed one. ; to walk in tbe Ugbt under tbe shelter . of His precious blood and have conscious and unbroken fellowship with Him as we yield ourselves to Him , moment by moment to walk in the | good works He has beforehand pre pared for os and to live tbe life of u ter self renunciation which He desirt • ns to live to His glory, making it our ambition in all things to be accept able to Him (Eph. 11. 10; 11 Cor. lv. 10. 11; v. 9>. Although our Lord sai ! to His disciples at tbe last Passover "1 appoint unto yon a kingdom, as My Father hath appointed unto Me. that ye may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom and sit on thrones Judging tbe twelve tribes of Israel' (Luke xxii. 29. 30i. yet "tbe kingdom of God is not meat and drink, bit righteousness and peace and joy in tinHoly Ghost" (verse 17i. and tbe ebb- ^ object of our tbongbts here should inn be what shall we eat and drink am. wear, but bow can we best make maiii fest and make known His righteous ness. which He offers freely to all. and . thus hasten His kingdom of peace on j earth. We should think of every union earth as "oue for wbom Chrisdied" (verse 15i and trust Him to use ! us to bring as many as possible t--Him. that they might obtain and enJoy His righteousness and peace an then bring others to the same. Wiethe kingdom comes and a King sin reign in righteousness, then on all inearth the work of righteousness slum be pea<-e aDd the service of righteousness shall be quietness and assure forever (lsa. xxxil. 1. 17 1.

Are these words In the QoMes Text quoted from Jeeus, hyperbolical, thai is, a rhetorical over-etetemenL or la it literally true, that It is more biassed t< give than to receive, and if as, whirl (This question must be answered In writing by members of the stab.) Verses 1-5 — la It aecordiag to animal nature, or to average human nature, to gWs to others outside at Mtb and MnT Is giving liberally, intelligently and Mstematioally, to religion and charity, always a "grace," that is, an in oil nation Divinely Imparted? What is the relation between giving • and loving? If w# are in need or "affliction" ourselves. will the grace of giving still operate in us, if our hearts are right? May "deep poverty," great "Joy" and rich "liberality" be In the same life, and is such a combination natural or supernatural T There wiia great poverty and suffering among the Christiana at Jeru calem, and the liberality of the poor ohurches at Macedonia to relieve their need is what Paul here refers to; contrast the evil at Jerusalem, with the resultant good graos of giving developed at Macedonia, and say which is the greater; that is did the result do as mudh good, or exceed the eril done by the cause? Titus it would appear was appointed to present to the Corinthians the need of the Jerusalem Christians, to take a collection, and to develop In them | the grace nf giving; why is there no work more noble, or duty more imperative, than for ministers and teachers to teach the people the duty and Joy of giving? Verses 7-8 — Paul apparently assumes that a person may abound "in faith and utterance, and knowledge, • • * and in • • love," and not abound in the grace of giving; but is he right, for how can such a thing be possible? Paul states that he did not urge the grace of giving by "commandment"; is it therefore any less the duty, and privilege of every Christian, rich and poor, to abound in this grace? Verse 9— \\ hat should be the supreme motive, and what is the greatest inducement to give liberally? What is the chief grace in the resplendent character of Jesus? Did the giving of Jesus of himself, and ail he had for us, imply permanent poverty for him. or was it the surest way to ail that great wealth is supposed to stand for? Why does giving of ail kinds finally result in getting more of that which we give, than would be possible if we kept it? (Think of money, love, knowledge. experience, encouragement, etc.) Verses 10-11 — What Is the difference in promising a subscription to religion or benevolence and not paying it, and not paying your grocer or Verses 12-14 — What Is the proportion of our income which the Bible demands of us. as a minimum? What are some of the many advant ages of the tithing system? Verse 15 — What reason is there to believe that if we give systematically to God's cause that we ourselves shall never lack?
