Finance plays a large part in the problems that men are seeking to solve. All three—divorce, children and finan- clal perils—are in the section of Mat- thew’s gospel assigned for our study. We considered the Master’s lmtude toward children a few weeks ago, 50 that we can pass over that portion with the reminder that the first, duty we owe to the children within our midst is to see that they are brought to the Lord for His blessing. Our personal influence, daily life and the education of the child should all help to develop the spiritual 1ife of the little ones whom Jesus loves. Their interest should be the plnmmmt consideration whenmevér parents are considering'an appeal to-the court to sever the matrimonial bonds. The problem of divorce was, one ot the questions that the Master's enemies llvln. but & mfle beforp Jesus, took opposite und on ques- tion, Shammal holding that a man ought to divorce his wife only if she were guilty of adultery, Hillel teaching t he might do it for anything in her that displeased him, even for burning his dinner.” They knew the Master's attitude uj this controvetsial subject. for He hl stated it to them. Evidently they were hoping to bring down the wrath of Hemd for Jesus was now in Perea, upon Jesus, just as Herod had acted toward John the Baptist for the yrophzt'l position upon divorce. If they ailed in arousing Herod, they expected that they would involve the Muur in a controversy with some of the Rabbinic Schools. Jesus in His reply sided with the stricter view of Shammal, yet He went farther than the great rabbi, for the Lord appealed to the fundamental fact of human nature that makes mar- riage inviolable. ‘The Peril of Riches. ‘The love of money, according to the Scriptures, is the root of all evil.

When Jesus demanded that he sell what he had and give it to the poor, he was unwilling to give up everything that he had for God's glory. He could meet the test of obeying the law in reference®to his fel- lows, but lacks love of riches triumphed over his denre for eternal life, for he turned sadly bul decisively away from the Lord who looked after hl.m with a heart hun- ger that longed to make him one of ; His disciples.

The demand the young man to give up his all lor the glory of God contained the seeds of spiritual improvement for him.
