Suppose some king of a land of golden sands should offer you a bilâ€" lit-n’ paper dollars if you would count them? You would go to work as though your life depended upon your speed, counting for about twelve hours a day. How foolish that would be. You had better thank him as got .1 a grace as pos~ sible and go to some country where money is not- so plentiful. A billion is a million times a mil- lion. By strict application you might count 200 bills a minute, and after practice, learn to keep up that rate of speed. That would give you $12,000 an. hour, $288,000 a day (twenty-four hours) or $105,120,000 in a year. Had Adam at- thc beginning of his existence begun to count, and counted night and day, he would not yet have finished his billion. To count a billion dollar bills would require a person to count 200 a minute-for a period of 9,512 years, 3-1.2 days, abours and 20 'minutes, provided he shOuld countvcontinu- ously night and day. >- _'But if, while attempting to avail yourself'of the bounty of the king of the“ land of golden sands you organ, every nbwe'a‘hfl- every-21ml.“ opportunities to entrap him'.

Close study of the Old Testament pasâ€" sage (1_Sam. 21) shows that David’s act was a threefold violation of law; (1) entering the. sacred shrine, though a layman; (2) eating consc- crated shrew‘bread, intended only for priests; (3) a breach of the Sabâ€" bath (it being the day for the 1' changing of the loaves, which, ac- cording to Lev. 24. 8, was the Sabâ€" bath day).’ The high priest 'had sanctioned this act 'of David and those that were with him. Hence, Jesus _, might have appealed to the law on entirely technical grounds, for his disciples had broken only that interpretation of the law which was given it:by"'tlie rabbis. But the case‘of David constituted a pre- cedent out of which Jesus establish- esthe principle that occasions arise when a eermonial law may be set aside for humane reasons. 5 Or have ye not readâ€"If they had. they had either not understood or had forgotten. ~ Priests . profane the sabbath â€"-It was the common practice of 'the priests, along with other work, to slay and dress thevictims of sac- rifice on the Sabbath day.

Is it lawful to heal ’Zâ€"Thc law ac- tually permitted healing on the Sabbath day only when a man’s life was at stake. In this case, there- fore. since there was no immediate danger of the man’s dying, to heal his hand would be a breaking of the law. But only the malice of the ac- cusers of Jesus would have so inter-' preted it. " v 11.

The ruleflof the rabbis was, that if a , sheep should fall into a pit on the sabbath day, it shbuld first be as- certained Whether it had been in- ju red. If so, and only {on this con- dition, it might be draggedmlt and killed. But, as often, the Jews found a way of. getting around this hard rule. The indignation of’ Jesus was therefore justified, when} he saw these. legalists much more concerned about their property than human life. 12.
