GOLDEN TEXT Repent ye, and believe in the gospel. Mark IMS. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time The first chapter of Isaiah was probably written about TCO B.C.; that portion of Ezeklel which we are studying was writ- ten about 594 B.C.; the preaching of John the Baptist occurred, pri- marily, probably in the summer ot A.iX 16; the messages of our Lord her* glve.ii were uttered In Decem- ber, A.D. 29, and January, A.O. 30. The Day of Pentlcost occurred at the end of May, A.D. 30. The Epis- tle to the Romans was written about A.I-. 60. Place The first cn-.pter of Isaiah wa written at Jerusalem; the book of Ezeklel was written In Babylon; the preaching of John the Baptist took place in the wil- derness country near the Jordan; the messages here recorded of our Lord were spoken in Peaea; the sermon of the Apostle Peter was delivered In Jerusalem; the Epistle to the Romans was written from the City of Corinth. The Son Goes Away 11. "And he said, a certain man had two sons: 12. and the younger of them said to his father, rather ire m the portion of thy sub- substance that talleth to me. And he dlrided unto them his living. II. And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together and took his Journey into a far country; and there he wasted his substance with riotous living. 14. And when h had spent all, there arose a mighty famine In that country; and he began to be In want 16. And he went and joined hlmsetf to on* of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his delds to feed swine. 16. And he wold fain have filled hU belly with the husks that swine did eat; and no man gave unto ' 1m." Our attention is fixed here on one of the two sons of a well-to-do and devoted father. He was th youn- er. This lad asked that he might hare the portion of hU father's estate that would come to him later IB life, or upon the death rf his lather. It was given to him. He wanted It that ha might have by which he could go off live as h pleased. But this selfish. It may havo embar- rassed his father to divide the state up at this time. So he went. He not only wasted his money, but ke> wasted his character, his strength, his personality, he weak- ened hi* will, he lost his friends he certainly lost his self-respect. Being well-born, brought up in a good home, adequate education, be- ginning with ample funds for all the needs of life, these thing" com- bined, cannot of themselves keep a man from degradation if he is determined to lire for selfish in- dulgnce. A Change Tskes Place IT. "But when he came to him- self he said, How many hired ser- vants of my father's hare bread enough and to spare, and I perish her* with hunger! 18. I will arise and go to my father, and will j*y unto Him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and In thy sight: 19. I am no more worthy to be call- ed thy son : mal e me as one of thy hired servants. 20. .v 1 he arose, and came to his father. But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran, and (ell on his neck, and kissed hi_. 21. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven, and in thy si, lit: I am no more worthy to be called thy son." There came a change. Suddenly the man came to hlmeslf. While he was wasting his life In riotous living he was not hlmse' He had been acting In a way abnormal, unnatural. It ! not said bow the man ime to himself. Undoubtedly, that wdich had the greatest Influence over him to sue a turning point was the memory of home, and -e final re- alization of the abject condition Into which he had come. God olten allows degradation, memory, shaive, want, loss r" loved ones, loneliness to bring us to ourselves, where He can st last deal with us. Once proudly the youuger son demanded the share ot the estate, and went off to please himself. Now, humbly, he returns to the father who alone had loved htm, willing to take any place which the father might give to him. The Son Retu-ns 22. "But the father said to Dls servants, Bring forth quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on bis hand, and shoes on his feet: 23. and bring the fat- ted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and make merry: 24. for this my son was dead, und Is alive again; he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry." Ot course the father had com- passion upon the son. Compassion Is born of love, and love never TABLE OF RANKS IN ARMED FORCES Equivalent Ranks And Seniority In British Navy, Army and Air Force.

The father could not keep the son home, and the father knew It was useless to go after the son and compel him to come home. That would mean no change in the boy's he. rt. That would do him no permanent good, for he woul't simply go away again. But when the son really was ready to come back, the father stood with open arms waiting to receive him; to rejoice In his return, and not only to rejoice but to make an r <<und- ant provision for the satisfying ot his unsatisfied legitimate s.ppe- tltes. In other words, the father was ever ready still to be a pro- Tiding father for his boy. God will not go with us along our paths of sinful indulgence but God never loses sight of us, sends after us messengers of mercy to bring us back, and waits as long as life lasts for us to return to aim. that He might be our Father, and that we might be His children. When should a person repent? At once. What should he wait for? Nothing. Any man knows if he Is out of the way of God, out of fellowship witn God, living in sin, separated from God. The Word of God is written to tell us, and the Son of God came to prove to us that God is not willing that any should perlau. going down this road of destruction to weakness, impoverishment, death and judgment, but mat all should come to the repentance. which leads to life everlasting.
