Matthew 11:28. The Lesson in lts Setting Time.--Our Lord's words of invi- uttered in December, A.D. 29. The date of the writing of the epistle to the Hebrews cannot be definitely determined. It must be placed before the fall of Jerusalem, probably about 68 A.D. Place.--Our Lord's words were ut- tered in Peraea, east of the Jordan River, opposite Judaea. The place of the writing of the epistle to the Hebrews is disputed. . The late Dr. J. Stuart Holden of St. Paul's, London., says of Matt. 11: 28, 29: "This is perhaps the greatest word of the Evangel. It is majesty set to music for the lightening of overburdened and fevered lives. It is heaven's heart's ease for healing of sinning and sorrowful men. No other of all the gracious words which proceeded from his mouth is conse- crate@ so entirely by the experience of thousands in every age as is this ever-new invitation of the Son of God to the sons of men. 28. Come unto me. There is love in this invitation, and urgency, and a consciousness of ability to meet the needs of those who will come. Come ye that labor and are heavy laden. 'Come unto Me, and I will give you rest!" All ye that are like over-car- goed boats, whose minds are burden- ed with anxieties and cares, or with the heavy and lumbering traditions of men, who are nigh to being swamped, living in perpetual fear of sumbission, 'Come unto Me, and I will give you rest. Rest is that heart harmony with God which qualifies men for life's en- gagements, for its ceaseless conflict and conquest, for its fruitful toil, and for its noblest and highest purposes. This is what Christ came to effect in men. This is the object of all His work and the interpretation of all His passion. Invitation to Rest 29. Take my yoke upon you. ... Christ takes upon Himself the one side of the yoke, and He invites you to come and occupy the empty place beside Him. He is the meek and lowly one. He has been accustomed to the yoke. This is the divine yoke- fellow of whom you are to learn, mo- ving side by side with you, that you may imitate His patient endurance, His meekness and lowliness of spirit. And learn of me. We are to learn of the Lord Jesus first, by studying the portrait of him as revealed in the Gospels, and then by living the Christlike life, as the Spirit of Christ dwells in us, teaching, strengthening, sanctifying and guiding us. For 1 am meek and lowly in heart. "The word 'meek' carries the idea of mild- ness and gentleness and the absence of self-vindication, and retaliation of injury, and so it carries with it the conception of unselfishness. What is it to be lowly in heart? The lowly- minded man is down in a humble sphere, where he is content if he can only serve." And ye shall find rest unto your souls. Here is a promise, but there are specific conditions which must be met before the promise can be fulfilled; we first come to Christ. then we take his yoke upon us, and then we learn of him. When we have done these three things, we shall no longer be seeking rest. We shall have it. 80. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. "The word render- ed 'easy' means agreeable and ser- viceable. If Christ's yoke ever galls the neck, it is because we do not work steadily in it." Rest For Christian Believers 1. Let us fear therefore.

This is not the fear which dreads condemna- tion, bat the fear of those who are saved and whom Christ has made free. Lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard. 38. For we who have be- lieved do enter into that rest. Tho- mas Carlyle, in his life of Schiller, speaks of unrest as "the never failing inmate of every human breast." This is true of everyone outside of the Lord Jesus Christ, but in Christ, if the New 'i'estament teaches anything, it teaches this, that, in believing, we are to have peace and joy. Here is one of the deepest, more precious themes of the word of God, some- thing which cannot be analyzed, but must be entered into by experience. Even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter in- These words are taken from Psalm 95: 11, and they refer to God's words to Israel, especially as regards her entrance into the Prom- ised Land. Had Israel fully follow- ed the explicit instructions of God in the matter of exterminating en- emy peoples, Israel would have had a complete rest from the exhausting, taxing, rebellious invasions and up- risings of these pagan peoples, But there is certainly a deeper meaning here in the matter of rest -- a rest for the souls of the Israelites, a true Although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4. For he hath said somewhere of the seventh day on this wise, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works; 5. And in this place again, These quotations are from Gen. 2:2 and Psalms 95:11. The rest of God is the expression of the perfect, di- vine complacency in the perfect, di- vine work. A Special Day 6. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto, and they to whom the good tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience. 7. He again -defineth a certain day, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said before), Today if ye shall hear his voice, hard- en not your hearts. 8, For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day. 9. There remalneth therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God.

In an- swer to many requests, we are go- ing to tell you about the program-- Ask Another. It is heard Fridays, 10:00 o'clock over CFRB and brings to the microphone such people as Howard Lindsay, he who ask an- other, Wally Armour and his orches- tra, George, the capable assistant, Miss Rhoda Howe who interviews those present ®ho think they know the answers to the questions, and those who think they have tough questions to asi. Here's the idea! You send in what you think if a dif- ficult question. If your question is used on the program, you receive a Prize Package. If your question is niu, answered by these present at the studio, you also receive a salute by the orchestra. The audience at the studio must answer the questions -- and those who do, also receive a Prize Package. Apparently it's lots of fun, for this program is in its second year, and is still going strong. If you wish tickets, just write to "Ask Another" in care of CFRB. Incidentally, the prize pack- age consists of a glass jar of pow- der, a giant jar of cold cream, a large jar of vanishing cream, and a bottle of Cream Lotion, so if you la- dies are interested in looking beau- tiful--why not send in a question? * *. * Musical Mysteries The musical mysteries program is back on the air again with a two- piano team.

McKnight's sport feature is offering a new ser- ies of sport books. Tune in to CFRB toil, nor to inaction or indolence; but to the rest which is possible amid swift activity and strenuous work; it is perfect equilibrium between out- ooings and incomings of life; it is a vontented heart; it is peace that pass- cth all understanding, it is the re- pose of our will in the will of God." 10. For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his. 11. Let vs thercfore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall after the same example of disobedience. "The essance of sin is that sin cen- tres in self instead of God. We try to help ourselves instead of throwing our burden of sin and care and sor- row upon the great Sinbearer and the Man of Sorrows, who was ac- quainted with grief. Now, when we come to Christ, we abandon all this self-help, and ask Him to be our help- ; er; we abandon all this self-trust and lean on His finished work. We stop laboring to build up our own inter- ests, and we are taken up with the interests of His kingdom. You shall never find rest until you find rest in ceasing from your own works, as God did from His, and entering into the Sabbath of rest that remains for the people of God, in this way."

If you saw him doing this work, you would probably think the Man from Mars has descended to Earth. Stan wanders about the Gar- dens with a big bag of batteries on his chest and a box of equipment on his back, to say nothing of the aerial sticking up at his side.
