The Accusation (w , It-k6,) The tact of demonology aa revealed in the Hew Teatamont records la here strongly emphasised. Their existence, their malignity, their evil powers, their relation to the .devil, and yet their subjection to our Lord, is all clearly set before UP. The devil had so taken possession of this man that he could not speak, yet a word from Jesus, and. the dumb spake. That he should have sudh power caused the people to "Wonder” (v. 14). His mir­ acles were for one principal- reason (Jphn 5:36). Matthew tells us (12:23) that in this case they asked the ques­ tion: "Is this the Son of David,” e. g-> the promised Messiah! The record ctoes not, however, indicate that they believed on bim—were converted. They knew what had been prophesied about the Coming One (Isa. 59:18, 32:3, 4), yet they hesitated,to come out on his side. Into the midst of .their controversy (v, 16, Mutt, 12:24; Mark 3:22) the Scribes and Pharisees projected themselves. They had Come down from Jerusalem seeking, "that they might accuse him” (John 19:35, 36). It is ever thus that the devil Beeks to divert. | Convincing Logic. - ( II. The Defense, (vv. 17-20). "But he, knowing their thoughts.” Evident­ ly they dared not openly to make their , accusations. They would not accept the natural and' true explanation, Jesus endured this contradition and these charges for us (Isa. 53;3, 4), and must not his disciples expect a like treatment? (Matt. 1Q;25). With convincing logic Jesus reveals their motive (v. 16) and demonstrates- the untenable position and conclusion Which resulted from their own charge. - Satan IS not fighting, himself, A king never sends an army against his own soldiers, but againafthose of his en­ emy.' Therefore, out of their own ac- -Jtnowledgement that’ the' devils were . cast out; he proves that the kingdom of God has come upon them. Such an accusation (r, 15) was to Jesus an ev­ idence of thedepravity of their hearts, ■There is keen, sarcasm in the answer he demanded from them,, (v. 19). (Evi­ dently they, too, had had-power over demonsi and It is easy to see the di­ lemma into which he led them Thin dp not the only time that Jesus con­ victed men out of their own. testi­ mony (Matt, 21:25), ■ IH. The Application . <vr. 21-26), (With a true teacher’s skill Jesus ^drives home the truth brought out in the preceding paragraph. Satan is a "strongman," but he, Jesus,-is stropg- er. He has powerto overcome and to '.take from the strong man his armor ((defense), and M b spoil, and to bind him fast (v, 22; Mark 3;27; Rev, i?0:2), Those bound by chains of sin are the spoil of Satan, and JeduS is ithe only one pbwerful enough to— inbreak the power of canceled sin And set the prisoner free. Cleanse the "Palace," With Christ there must be entire (possession; there Can be no neutrality >(V. 23). We cannot belong to Christ and be a slave to Satan, to mammon, to self, or even to others whom we may love. The persistence of evil is here Indicated. Unclean spirits are ever seeking a habitation. Therefore t it is not enough for a man> to be cleansed, his dwelling must be occu­ pied, and if the Holy Spirit does not take possession, the evil one will. The parable that follows (vr. 24*26) {teaches this truth negatively. In one {Case Satan is dislodged by Christ, lie {finds the ."palace” (v, 22) (man) to [be pro-occupied. In this case the pal- jace is empty (Matt,. 12:44). The ab­ sence of a positive attachment, too, or jpossesslon by, Jesus Christ, involves (hostility to*him. This picture is that of the reformed man, not of the re­ generated man. TMs latter has his place pre occupied, and the returning spirit can find no place of abode. Un­ less, however, such be the case, the Matter end of that man Is far worse than ills first state; witness the gold- cured intemperate men who return to their cups (2 Pet, 2:22); they return because they haTO no strong defender to drive oft the returning ehemy. This application and principle here propounded may, and does, account for most of the hack-sliding after many of the so-called conversions, vis., that the germ Of character has not* been generated (John 3:7). It is by far the most difficult proposition in Christian work to reach one who is thus gospel hardened, IV. The Illustration (W, 33-26). In his teaching, Jesus constantly used fa­ miliar objects as illustrations. The incongruity of placing a candle under a bushel measure rather than in its rightful place that it may conspicu­ ously perform Its proper function is at once apparent. Jesus Is the Light (John 7;i7; 8:12), so also Is the Christian. They are to be so set be­ fore men that, seeing Christ reflected In them, they will glorify the -Father who sent him. This is that which is used by God in redeeming, transform­ ing and ennobling earth’s sinful chib dren. ■ Dift and Nationality, Among modern nations the great­ est eaters are the British, Ger­ mans, French and Americans, the ruling people of our civilization. The diet of the Spaniards and the Italians is notably less substantial than that of the British and Ger­ man!* just as their brains are less active and original. The Ameri­ cans are, on the average, the great­ est eaters in the world. Said Car­ lyle to JCnierson, “The best ming.I know of that country is that in it a man can have meat for his labor.” —Family Doctor.. Old; but a Good Vfalker.
