I had r.ot seen ItiTrlMONMJ til Lesson (By E. Os SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute. Chicago.) i LESSON FOR APRIL! 5 CHRIST'S TABLE TALK.

LESSON TEXT Luke GOLDEN TEXT "Everyone that exalt- eth himself shall be humbled; and he thati hiimbleth himself shall be exalted." Lukq i This lesson Is eonnectej directly with that of two events occurring in the house of the "chief Pharisee," 14:1. I. An Honorable Promotion, vv. The spirit of humility hero emphai sized by Jesus is not that of cora-mending the man who piously, ostentatiously, takes the low seat, and then is angry if he 13 not promoted; the man who says "no" and is angry If he Is taken at his word. These words are not only to be-applied literally but have a wide scope and embrace all the followers of Christ lu every walk of life.

The sincere evidence of this spirit Is proof of the nearness of the disciple to the life of his Lord; see Phil. 2:3, 7 and Matt. 18:4. Men scramble for position and power to be obtained at the hands of other men. Jesus, the keen observer, saw men striving in this house, and crltfc elzea such conduct.

"Lest haply," twice repeated, gives us the clew tq this section. Guests are not to seek the higher seats, I'lest haply" more worthy ones should appear who ought to occupy them. Real Hospitality. II. A Holy Recompense, vv.

The man who makes a feast Invites those who can return his favor or else I thereby pays his obligations to so-1 clety. Not so the members of theil kingdorrt (Matt. "ReV compense" is here the key. Thosa who are needy cannot make any ma-terial recompense and the one who gives the feast does not need any other recompense than that of the gratitude of those served and the approval, "well done," from the king. ities.

You can not make an immediate exchange if the goods are unsatisfactory. You cannot telephone the last minute for something you have forgotten.

Vera Simmons returned from Jansas City Monday. Miss Nora Mannix was visiting with relatives in Topeka this any such charge until in appear- ed in the Seaton letter and I hope that it is merely a figment of imagination; but if it is true that any political enemy of Henry Allen is making-such a charge I consider it contemptible.

Henry Allen professed conversion at a timeWig prior to the mention of his name as a possible candidate for governor. That he is entirely sincere I have not the slightest doubt. That he is trying with all the power of his splendid ability as a speaker to induce ether men to join with him in his religious profession and doing it with 'unselfish mo-lives I do not doubt. The fact is that Henry is an exceptionally bright, likeable sort of man. That he has his faults there is no doubt.

That he has done many things in the past that he regrets, I have no doubt. I am personally fond of him and do not like to see him abused, just as I do not like to see as good a man- as Arthur Capper misrepresented and abused. Farmer's Mail and Breeze. A Fairwell Reception. On Monday evening March 30, about 150 people, mostly married couples, with well filled baskets in hand, assembled in Grange hall and spent a delightful eve ning in friendly conversation and in partaking of the bountiful re past consisting of cake, fruit, coffee, etc.

Why should a man who always been a good citizen be subjected to mis representation and abuse when he becomes a candidate for office? Here is a case in point: The proprietor of this paper was a candidate for the office of gover nor two years ago and is again a candidate for the nomination for the same office this year. My opinion is that for business reasons he made a mistake in being a candidate in the first place or in consenting to again be a can didate this year.

cut it is. certainly his right to be a candidate and I feel certain that he has an ambition to use the power, of the office if elected to help the people Ot the State OI Jiansay. I have known him for a long time. He has always been a clean, decent citizen, standing ior trie tnings tnat are just ana moral. A peculiarity about him is tnat in tne more man a quar- ter of a century I have known him I have never heard him abuse any man even though tne man had spoken most unkindly of him.

Pew men of my ac- quainiance nave ueen as gener- ous with.tneir means ana none more upright or moral in their a. I JlVeS. During all the years Ol Our acquaintance I have never heard him utter a vulger or pro fane word And yet some of his political opponents would try to create the impression that he is an insincere and bad man and have heaped upon him the most scur rilous personal abuse. And some of those who have been guilty of this seem in their private every day life to be fair-mint led and decent Why should they consider it necessary to try to blacken the reputation of a good man for political purposes. I do not think that such unfair methods have' a great deal of effect in a campaign, but' a slan- der always does the person sian- dered injury.

It leaves a false impression in the minds of some people. To deliberately slander a man for polical purposes, I think usually fails of its purpose, but it is a vicious crime iust the same. In this connection I observe that Mr. Seaton, the press agent for Governor Hodges, states that someone has started the story that Henry Allen is -using his a This does not forbid the lnterchanjfQ of hospitality and courtesies but dcSs warn us lest in our elaborate feasts we overlook the poor, but worthy ones. Iir.the kingdom, hospitality con-; sists of a desire to give rather than to get.

III. A Heavenly Invitation, w. 154 24. One of the guests seems to.have been Impressed with the words of Jesus and exclaimed, "Messed Is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of od." He seemed to realize that tlJl onduct Jesus was speaking of to be found only there. In answer 9 Lora gave us tnis paraoie or ine grj 1 supper In which he describes an mosphere like that created by his lost and the guests there present.

By this I parable he replies to this man, contrasting the admixing of an Ideal ami being willing to be governed by that; Ideal, (a) Those who refused. This was a "great supper," a time of great-Joy and many were Invited, see Gal. 4:4. Matt Mark 1:14, 15. Al men hrd to do was to "come," Isa.

Matt. John Rev. 22:17. There were three who made excuses, yet all three refused the in The first (v. 18) was the man whose property stood In his way; (II Tim.

I Tim. The sec-ond allowed a dumb ox, that migM have received attentkm later, to trt precedence over the glad feast, po mestlc demands and godless home ties are used frequently by the evil one' to keep men out of the kingdom. third excuse (v. 20) was still less Jus tifiable, for this man should hirei brought his wife with him. It was her place as much as hi3 to accept the invitation.

However, to spurn God'a Invitation does not mean that there shall be any lack of guests, see John. 1:11 and Matt. 21:31: (2) Those who. accepted this Invitation (vv. 21-24)4 Thus to be spurned made the master of the house "angry" (v.

21). God's Method. rnis is uoa meinoa or ninng; empty cnurcnes. ir we wear out consecrated shoe-leather during the week; men will not forget us on the Sabbath, and guests will always be found! for God's table. "Compulsion" (v23) Indicates intense, earnest effort In bringing men to Christ (II Cor.

Col. II Tim. Men should be reluctant only through a sense of. their unworthiness, which Is In realttyj their greatest possible fitness. Here again the question of host and guest Is thrust upon us.

In society; we ask our friends and rich neighbors; lest haply they bid us In turn, or re-f pay by making some other recom pense. Our hospitality Is a quid prql quo business. Thus there Is set be; fore us the blindness of human hearts In the excuses they make in answer to God's Invitation. i In the matter of entering the king dom of God It Is the man who humble.4 himself that is exalted within. Meri must stoop to reach the heights, we! undergo In order to overcome.

In the) matter of our behavior, guests musn humble themselves to the needs of the lowest, if they are to be exalted to) the highest in life. Our greatest duty! to that call which comes from thei highest authority. What a wonderful parable this Is, given In answer to pious remark about eating brea the kingdom of God.
