Growing Hatred to Jesus.
Matthew, 12:22-32, 38-42.
I
WE have seen in a previous les- ,
son that Christ and the ,
Pharisees had come to the j
parting of the ways. To the ,
Pharisees two things were ,
clear. Jesus was not such a Messiah as (
they were expecting: they could not ac- I
cept Him as the one foretold of the )
prophets. But who was He? His miracles (
were startling, and so numerous that all (
Galilee were asking the question. "Is this i
the Son of David?" The scribes and <
Pharisees were their recognized teachers, '
and to them all eyes were turned in ex- j
pectatlon. Confessedly they were In a i
dilemma. If Christ was not the Son of i
God, He was an lmposter, or worse. >
Under such circumstances the crisis could
not be delayed. The Master knew it; and
one of the subllmest facts In His history
is seen in the unswerving persistence with
which . He went forward in His chosen j
path-. i
The Blind and Dumb Healed. * ' ,
Diseased . conditions of. men \^ere not <
strange with the Jews of that day, as i
they are not with us. But there was I
now brought to Christ a blind and dumb !
man whose condition waB caused by 1
demoniacal possession. Christ, healed him. <
The work was done instantly, swid peri
fectly. Immediately the man saw and
spoke. There are times when ' the common
people assume their God-given prerogatives.
The evidence is so clear that they even
dare to differ from their recognized teachers.
This was such a time. The people
were ready to admit the claims of Christ.
They were waiting for their rulers to take
the Initiative. . ."In such instaneigS it not
infrequently liappens that the* inatinots
of the ignorant are truer than the reasonings
of the wise. If we will read the history
of the church I think that it will be
found that this has been true in all ages.
God always has a people; His people are
those who accept and trust Him. And
this is easier tor the humble and unlearned
than for the learned and great.
And this fact has been made one of the
stock arguments against religion. It was
so with the Jews in the time of Christ,
"This people who knoweth not the law
are cursed" (John, 7:40>. And men ask
today: "Is it not strange that the church
is composed. t.o a large extent, of the root
and Ignorant?" No, it is not strange.
But let us pause to grasp the full meaning
of this statement. It does not mean
that Christianity, for instance, is not hi
harmony with the highest reason.. It
certainly is not true that when men be
grin to think and to reason upon the subject
they discover Its claims to be false.
If it is true that not many great, not
many wise after the flesh become the disciples
of Christ, it is also true that for
2.000 years the profoundeat scholars, the
greatest thinkers, the most erudite philosophers
of the world have bowed most,
humbly at the feet of Christ, rejoicing
that they were counted worthy to be
: called His disciples.
Where, then, is the difficulty? It is
here. The old Scribes and Pharisees had
formed their opinions of the coming Messiah.
He was to be a man of war. He
was to come In regal splendor, and Ho
was to overturn the earthly kingdoms
of the world, and He was to enthrone
himself upon their ruins. To acknowledge
Christ as the Messiah would be tb
unlearn the past and to confess that their
interpretation of the Scriptures had been
a gross blunder. They were doing what
the author of the Proverbs, 3:3, centuries
ago had condemned. They were leaning
upon their own understanding. And this
is now and has been through the ages
the difficulty with the wise. Because
Christianity does not square with their
preconceived opinions it is rejected. j
This lesson shows us to what depths "
of Iniquity these Phai^sees were led by <
their unscriptural theories.

a
Prince of Demons.
I
Beelzebub, in the Jewish popular thinking
of that time, was the prince of demons,
the lord of the nether world. Thi3
was their only resort. The miracles could j
not be denied. They were numerous, and
they were beyond the power of man. If 1
they were not wrought by the power of 1
Sod, they must have been wrought by i
the power of Satan. This was the only i
alternative, and they boldly accepted it. :.
This was not the first time that the
charge was made, (9:34), but the charge, i1
once made, it was eagerly seized as an j 1
til sufficient explanation. With this theory j t
all miracles could be explained. It is
true that' the explanation was unreason- ! <
able and self destructive. But infidelity
Is always unreasonable. In refusing to ! i
believe some truths that are difficult, the '
skeptic is driven to accept errors that
are a thousand fold more so. : '
? V;
* t ^ .
,.. , < . .* *.. j
Christ's Vindication.
!
It seems that the charge was not open- J
ly made. Moodily and angrily they had (
watched the itaster. It was like the vol- ]
ikno before an eruption. "Jesus knew
their thoughts." He determined to leave
them without excuse. There are two (
things in this refutation that i
should deeply impress us. There is <
lirst the refutation Itself, and then 1
It is the spirit In which the refutation j
is giveh. The vindication is unanswer- i
able, and the'spirit in which it Is eouch- i
sd is divine. 'In a.il this He is giving an
bxample to His church. " J
First, a divided nation or house is on i
the road ,to destruction. Civil war ruins ;
and desolates the land. It must cease, or '
practical extermination of its people will i
fee the result. TPhis la true of a city or i
if a house.. As to an Individual being I
flvided against himself, it is absurd. To 1
suppose thftt Satan was divided against i
pi nisei f, that he was engaged in tearing :
town his own kingdom, bore upon its t
Cac?>; its own refutation.
The second; argument was what is called >
'An appeal to the man." There were I
iraong the Jews those who were called 1
ixorctsts. " They professed to cast out 1
levlis. Whether the Jews themselves be- >
leved that these exorcists possessed this 1
tower is not known. But the vast differ- t
tnce between them and Christ was ob- <
Joys to all. The men and women upon I
whom these professionals tried their skill i
were no better after their efforts than beore.
But the cures and healings of Jesus
were unquestioned. , Those who came to
Ilm were-changed in life. Physically,
nentally and spiritually they were made
vhole. His question then to the Jews was i
:r ashing: "By whom do your children
:ast rth?m 'out?" Logically, there could
>e but one conclusion. The works were 1
wrought by the finger of God. But if so, \
hen, "the kingdom of God had come unto ,
hem." And so Christ was forcing upon
hem the evidence of their sin. But no '
evidence can convince a man against his f
will. .
Another proof is fourdd in the case of
:he strong man unbound. Before the
clngdom of Satan can be spoiled, Satan
suit be bound. He will resist all ensroachments.
Not until he is bound can
mother spoil his house. Satan is strong;,
n the case of the demoniac he has taken
possession of the house, how could any
put an enemy, and one who is stronger
than he cast him out? The blind arid j J
iumb man, . healed and cleansed, was' *
jroof of the claims of Christ. t
Lastly Christ lays down a principle the i
truth of which none can question: "He i
that is not with me is against me"; and *
tie that gathereth not with me scattereth
ibroad." In other words, there can be no t
leutrality toward Christ. This is a realm ?
n which compromise is impossible. Christ I
:ame into the world to- gather together its t
scattered tribes into one family. To be 1
His is to be a helper in this work. This ?
is the one bp'siness of the church. But if 1
ge are not His the effect of our lives is to J
scatter abroad. There is going on a fear- y
rul conflict between Christ and Satan for c
;he possession of man. It is ceaseless and t
jncompromising. The contest is not only z
ror men, but it is by men. Whether we s
will-or no we are soldiers in this war. c
And it is a question which every . one c

Sin Against Holy Ghost.
The fact that there is a sin that may
not be forgiven is startling. It is certainly
not strange that through the cen- ll
turies men have been asking: What is I 1
this sin," and "am I in danger of committing
it?" The statement and warning
of our Lord clearly prove two things: row
they prove that this sin may be commit- Ret
ted, and that there are some of our race prei
who will be excluded from heaven foraver.
But what is it? This warning of j-e
Jesus may not be separated from the in- left
oident of which it forms a part. The woi
meaning is found in the conduct of these por
Pharisees., Jesus had performed a nota- .
ble miracle. He was the Godman i. e. He
was God's representative upon earth: ceS!
All His works were wrought through and Anl
by the Holy Spirit. The act of healing. Fifi
which they had just witnessed, was the the
Spirit's work. And it was this work
which they had just witnessed which they w?i
leclared had been done through the the
power of Satan. wh<
But why is this sin unpardonable? Is jjja
t because the sin is so heinous that God
s unwilling to forgive it? No, a thousand
times, no. There is no sin that God does Huj
lot yearn to forgive. But the condition cut'
Df forgiveness is penitence. There must
n>e confession of sin. accomnaived bv a d...
, . ^ ,
goodly sorrow for it. and a desire to be
ielivered from it. Without this there can one
so no forgiveness, "neither in this world, i*ar
neither in the world to come." But this son
is precisely w hat the man who charges ! eva
the work of the Holy Spirit to Satan i as ,
cannot do. It is possible for a man to <jen
become so perverse of spirit, so indurat- p_
?d of heart that repentence is impossible. nat
rhis is possibly the most terrible, the j^y
most awful truth that has ever fallen pQjj
jpon the ears of man. And the worst
fact concerning It is that the man who tjor
ms committed it is both unconscious of ] out
t and indifferent concerning it. So long ^is
is a man feels concern for his sins he is | a
ivithin the reach of pardon and renewal. ' spej
The paragraphs which follow* to the I par
;hirty-eighth verse have, for some reason, i pas
jecn omitted from the lesson. But they I 0f ,
belong to it and should be studied with 1
t. The thirty-third verse teaches the ^re]
lecessity of a correct heart if we would ?j<ex
lave a correct life. The wail of the p
hirty-fourth verse is the expression of crje
Christ's sorrow* for men who had gone yv
>erilously near to the committing of the
mpardonable sin. ?
*
Demanding' a Sign. .
"We would see a sign from Thee." JL
rhis demand, uttered at such a time, JT
nust have contained a sneer. What were *1*
he mighty works which they had just
vitnessed but signs? What were the
vords to which they had listened? It Is
r>n#>iilia ritv <*? f ilMi^L'Arl tn O **? that thM'
k ^v^uuai i v y w* n v. v ?-?? -j *
ire sign seekers. I>oubtless these men ?jp
relieved that they might be convinced
>y a sign. So thought Dives. "If one <P
vent unto them from the dead they
vill repent" <I>uke. 16:30). But Christ
tnetv better. He said: "If they hear
tot Moses and the prophets neither will
hey be persuaded, though one rose from f"
he dead." The path of duty is always ??
ilaln, and ever safety lies along that path.
And yet Christ did give them a sign, jje"
fonah, in the whale's stomach, was a
lien of His death and resurrection. And
he resurrection of Christ is the crownng
proof of His deity. This was the Tc
niracle of miracles. Upon its truth the vers
ipostles boldly staked the whole gospel
icheme. To it the Christian points to- -X"
lay with Joy and pride. It is a demon- CSja
itration of the truth of every claim, and 17/
t is a pledge of the fulfillment of every IXV
irophecy. Because He lives we shall [/a
ive also. The suggestion of Jonah sug- ?
rested a further proof. The men of T
Nineveh repented at the preaching of '
ionah. but He was greater than Jonah. tlie
