(By 1938, Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for October 12 MARY, THE MOTHER OF JESUS: AN EXAMPLE OF MOTHERHOOD LESSON TEXT—Luke 11:19; John 11:8, 19 25:17 GOLDEN TEXT—But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart. PRIMARY TOPIC—Mary, the Mother of Jesus JUNIOR TOPIC—Mary, the Mother of Jesus INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—What We Owe Our Mothers. TOUGH PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—A Mother's Influence. 1. Who Mary Was (Luke 1:20, 27). She was a Jewish maid of Nazareth. The first information we have of her is that she was engaged to be married to Joseph, a carpenter of the same village. The custom among the Jews was for buttress to take place about a year before marriage. During this interval the woman remained with her parents. 11. Mary Accepted Motherhood at Goda's Command (Luke 1:2058). It was during this interval of betrothal before Joseph and Mary were married that God sent the angel Gabriel to announce to Mary that she was to be the mother of Jesus. More than seven hundred years before, Isaiah prophesied that a virgin should give birth to a son whose name should be called Immanuel—God With Us (Isaiah 7:14). Though at first perplexed, she accepted the annunciation with remarkable courage and devotion. Mary accepted motherhood at a tremendous cost. She was conscious of her virgin purity. She knew that to become a mother under such circumstances would expose her to suspicion and shame. This was the view that certain Jews took of the matter, for they cast into the face of Jesus, that he was born of fornication (John 8:41). Her faith was such that she responded with noble courage. 2. Mary visits Elisabeth (Luke 1:30-45). In her embarrassment she set out on a visit to an elderly kinswoman named "Elisabeth," where she could have the help of a woman of spiritual discernment. 3. Mary's song (vv. 40-50). Having sought the sympathy and encouragement of her friend, her triumphant faith carried her beyond the misunderstanding and shame which awaited her, and caused her soul to burst out in a wonderful song of praise. As pointed out by another, three features of her character stand out in this song: (1) Her heart purity. Only a pure heart rejoices at the nearness of God. (2) Her humility. She forgot herself and gave her heart in praise to God. She did not primarily think of the undying honor which would be attached to her, but the blessing which would come upon future generations through her. 4. The birth of Christ at Bethlehem (Luke 2:15-19). What Gabriel announced to Mary was now being fulfilled. Caesar's decree concerning taxation brought Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem for the fulfillment of Micah 5:2. Because of the crowded inn, the birth of the world's Savior took place in a stable. III. Mary's Faith in Her Son (John 2:1-5). 1. Her anxiety (v. 3). The arrival of Jesus and his disciples put a drain upon the resources of the host, for their invitation seemingly came after their arrival at Cana. 2. Mary presents the need to Jesus (v. 3). The clear implication is that she requested him to embrace this opportunity to present his Measianic claims by working a miracle. 3. Jesus asserts his authority (v. 4). He respectfully reminded his mother that he had now passed from her authority and that his Father's will was supreme. 4. Mary's confidence (v. 5). Perhaps as he asserted his authority he gave her a sign by which she understood that he would not fall her in her hour of embarrassment. Accordingly she directed the servants to carry out whatever instructions he should give. IV. A Dying Son's Thought for His Mother (John 19:25-27). It is beautiful to note the tender care which Jesus in his dying hour manifested for his mother. He committed her to the care of John. John accepted the responsibility of a son and took her to his own home. Voul, Vidi, Vici I came, I saw, I conquered, may be inscribed by the Savior on every monument of grace. I came to the sinner; I looked upon him; and with a look of omnipotent love, I conquered—Toplady. Prayer Prayer is the act by which man, detaching himself from the embarrassments of sense and nature, ascends to the true level of his destiny. H. P. Liddon. The following members of St. Paul A. M.

Dealer (The Literary Service Bureau) Text: "Give therefore thy servant ah understanding heart"-1 Kings 3:9 Familiar is the story of Solomon who succeeded his father, David, as king of Isreal, and who chose wisdom as the paramount thing. The record shows that the Lord appeared unto him in a dream and said, "Ask what I shall give thee;" and herefore thy servant an undertanding heart." There is a forceful analogy between the situation of Solomon and that of every boy. Every boy possesses a kingdom which is within his own life; he needs wisdom to rule his subjects, comprising elemental passions such as envy, self-ness, and carnal lust, all of which are disposed to be incorrigible and ebelious.

The distinction between wisdom and knowledge is that the latter may be acquired in schools by help of teachers but the former comes from above. Solomon had knowledge, but he prayed for wisdom--an understanding heart. So, no matter how much of knowledge a boy may have he needs wisdom such as the world cannot afford. So, every boy needs wisdom--parent wisdom which Solomon calls "an understanding heart." He needs wisdom to properly guide his feet, direct his efforts and energies, solve (Continued on page four) JOHN H.
