Friday, Saturday, Pomona, Tuesday Wednesday Thursday (By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Evening Departroei Chicago.) Department, The Moody Bible Institute, LESSON FOR JULY 5 THE LABORERS IN YARD. THE VINE- LESSON TEXT Matt. GOLDEN maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the pood, tunl nndeth rain on the just and on the unjust" Matt 6:45.

This Is another lesson connected with our Lord'B Perean ministry. I. The Calls to Service, vv. 1-7. To get a correct setting wo must return to Peter's question, 19:17, which in turn 'grew out of our Lord's dealings with the rich young ruler (see lesson of June 21st), and which called from Jesus the exclamation, "It la hard for a rich man to enter tho kingdom of heaven" At this the; disciples were exceedingly surprised and exclaimed, "Who then can ba saved?" (v.

25). Jesus replied, "With. God all things are possible." There- upon Peter said, Lo, we have left all and followed thea; what then shall we have?" The young man refused to leave his ail and follow, whereas the disciples had and Peter seems to desire to know what advantage had accrued to them, what reward they were to have. Jesus Answers Peter. Jesus closed his answer to Peter by Baying, "Many that aro first shall-bo last; and the last shall be first" (v.

30) and illustrates his reply by tho parable which Is our lesson. Many who do not stipulate a reward shall be first, while many who work and work long, but work only for a reward, will be last. Preceding this Jesus definitely told Peter that the twelve should be associated with him judging tho twelve tribes of Israel and that all who had left all to follow him Bhould receive an hundredfold and would inherit eternal life (see chapter 19:28, 29), that is, they would gain what tlte young ruler sought by doing what he failed to do. Historically this is illustrated by the Jew and Matt. 8:11, 12; Luke Rom.

Parable of the Kingdom. Jesus says this is a parable of the kingdom, hence the householder represents God (cf. 21:33, 43); the vineyard Is the kingdom, eeo Isa. Matt 21:33. The king is seeking laborers to labor in his vineyard.

He began In the early morning (v. 1) and with those whom ho employed ho made a definite agreement. The penny had a value of about seventeen cents and represents an average day's wage at that time. No ono works for God without a fair wage, Eph. Heb.

6:10. Notico, before they wera set to their task God called them. The call was to service, Mark 1:17. He goes out again at tho third and the sixth and the ninth hour, finds other laborers, making no definite agreement with them but sends them Into his vineyard to work. He led; them into tho work and they trusted him for wages.

At the eleventh hour he found idlers and asked them the reason (v. 6), they replied that no one had employed them and them too he sends into the vineyard without any bargain a3 to wages. None except those at the third hour had any intimation as to their wage and they were to receive "whatsoever is right" Those called at the first may put In longer hours but produce a poorer quality of service than others called; at a later time. The character of tha service Is of greater value than the amount rendered and tho higher the service the greater tho proportionate-reward. We get in this lifo about what we work for.

II, The Reward of Service, w. 8-tS. At the end of the day the Lord's steward rewards each man, beginning wlUx the last and ending with tha first (v. 8). The first one is paid according to the strict letter of tho Agreement, and the last is likewise paid In strict justice but in a most liberal manner.

He, too, wa3 worthy, for he worked throughout all the time that was for him available. Giving an equal reward to all was a test of the character of those mr.io who entered the vineyard in the ejrlyV morning. The Lord's answer (ril 13-15) 1b a four-fold ono (1) "I did-thee no wrong;" the contract had been; lived up to to the very letter. (JJ "It is my will ta give, even as unto thee;" tho Lord has a right tcj 'be geflMvus if be so desires, (3) "It is iawful for me to do what I will with mine own;" God has a right to exercise such a prerogative and man has to right to, complain, Rom. "I thine eye evil because I am good?" The ground of this comnlalnt was that of envy.

Ill- -The Teaching. We. must be ware of trying to make, thi3 paraWe. teach more than is written. To tfsbt-fully understand our Lord's eltagsv with those who serve Mn we must consider others of parables.
