[3 SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON " LESSON VII JESUS TEACHES FORGIVENESS AND GRATITUDE ' Luke 17. ; PRINTED TEXT, Luke 17: 14, > \ 1119 GOLDEN TEXT--Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forglv: ing each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4: 32, THE LESSON, IN IT8 SETTING Time,--All the events spoken ot in this chapter. occurred between January and March, A.D, 30. . Place.--The teaching and the prophetic utterances of Christ in this chapter were given in Peraea; the miracle of the healing of the ten lepers occurred near the bor- der of Samaria, - The first two verses of the les. son might be found easily the most practical of the entire chapter. In them 'we are taught a lesson we all need to have continually em. phasized in our own hearts and ' lives--namely, the terrible con. demnation which God will mete out to those who cause the followers of Christ, the children of God, to stumble, to fall into sin. Offending the Little Ones --~ Luke 17: 1. "And he said unto his disciples, It is impossible but that occasions of stumbling should come; but woe unto him, through whom they come; 2. It were well for him if a millstone were hang ed about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble." What a a \ to a traveller driving forty miles an hour down a highway, it thrown _suddenly across his path, is what an occasion of stumbling would be to anyone in the moral realm. The verso. implies that we have a dir- ect influence over other people, more extensive in some people than in others but, nevertheless, defiinte and direct, Furthermore, we are responsible for the Influ- ence which we exert upon other people; 'the Lord will certainly hold us responsible when we cause the road of life. By the phrase "these 'little ones," our Lord re- fers probably not only to children, but to the children of God and es- " pecially to those who have just begun their Christian life, or those their faith, Forgiveness Seven Times 3, 4. Take heed to yourselves: it thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And it he sin against thee soven times ii the day, and seven times turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him." There are two specific injunctions in these two verses: we are.to rebuke those who have mistreated. us; it- they repent, we are to forgive them. By rebuking "others, our Lord means we are to first point out the fact of the sin itself, and then, sec- only, we are to reveal taclfully to this person how deadly the guilt of that sin Is. Forgiveness is based on the man's repentance. If the man shall sin seven times, and say he ropents, we are to forgive him, Belter to secure the sanctity and beauty of our own. character by being ready to forgive seven times; even though the man fs not sin. cere, than by refusing forgiveness to a truly repentant soul, be In danger of becoming a stumbling block In his way, Miracle of Healing ,. 11, "And it camo to pass, as they were on the way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee, 12, And as he enfered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, 'who stood afar off: 13. and they lifted up their voices, saying, Jesus, Master, " have mercy on us, 14, And when he saw them, he sald unto.them, Go and show yourselves unto the priests, And it came to pass, as they went, thqy were cleansed." What we are, particularly inter- ested in in this passage is the strange command of Christ to these Lepers that they should go and show themselves unto the priests, In tho first place there is here, a koen trlal of faith, With no'signs of restoration as yet 'upon them,' they were bidden to do that which stored, in thefr prompt obedience, they declared plainly that some weak beginnings of faith - were frorking In them, Where Are The Others? 15.

You can test it for yourself by making two black spots on a sheet of paper, about eyes-width apart. Hold the paper at arm's length, close one eye and stare fixedly at one spot. You will be able to see both of 'hem. Now slowly move the paper nearer to your face, still staring at one spot. At a certain point the other spot will completely vanish from sight. The brain is slow to "wipe off" an image which the eye has recorded. If you stare at a bright red spot for a while, then glance up at the ceiling, you will see the same spot apparently floating in the air, but it will appear green instead. When you go to the cinema, you do not see actual "moving" pictures, but a rapid succession of still pictures, each slightly different from the previous one. There is a mo- mentary black-out between each, but the brain is not quick en- ough to observe it, and this "re: tehtion of vision" produces the RADI 0 REPORTER By DAVE ROBBINS " illusion of movement.
