YOUNGPEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC Matthew, a Study of Conversion. 1. Who Matthew Wa*. O f Matthew ljttle Is known, even hls birth place 1$ concealed. Our first (right o f him La seated at the toll booth collecting taxes. The tax gatherer was hated by the loyal Jews because he collected taxes for the alien gov­ ernment under whose yoke they were galling. This hate was the more bit­ ter because o f the extortion usually practiced by those in rale. From the meager accounts we find that Matthew was: L A Man o f Decision. We. do not know whether he had ever seen or heard o f Jesus before this time, but we note that he at once arose and followed Jesus, Without doubt, there were many things to concern h ln v It was no little task to-break off from his business which apparently was very lucrative, 2. He Was a Humble Man., la chapter 10, verse 3, the order In which he gives hla own -name and the fact that he designates himself a “pub­ lican" would show that he did not overestimate himself. 3. He Possessed Force o f Character. This lg shown In the. fact that he gave a feast and invited his friends In to f t and hear hls Lord. He had two names, Levi, which means “ attached” or “joined," and Matthew, which means “gift o f Je­ hovah.” Most likely Matthew was the name assumed after hls conver- slon, . ’ ^ It. Matthew** Call or Conversion (Math, 9 :9), 1. As Jesus Passed By, He “ Saw a Man.” He saw tjle possibilities which Were la Matthew. He saw through the hated profession o f a tax gatherer tfie ’shining possibilities o f hls man­ hood and updstleshlp. He saw In blip, the man fit to perceive and portray the Messlnhship o f the Redeemer. The divide grace was revealed In this call, Jesuit sees what Is In man regardless o f name or profession. 2. Matthew's Response (v. 9 ). He acted wltn decision and promptness; he left fils business behind him. When Jesus said, “Follow Me," Matthew perceived that greater than man had spoken to him. May we yield our­ selves unto Him and render snch sim­ ple obedience that onr actions may be but the echoes of the divine voice In commanding. Two things in Mat­ thew’s compliance prove the genuine­ ness o f his conversion: - 1, “He Left AH” (Luke 5128). Real' conversion always results in the for­ saking o f all that is contrary to Jesus, such as Illegitimate business, wicked associates and worldly pleasures, etc. 2. “ Followed Jesus," Following Jesus means the commitment o f one’s, life to- Him tor fu ll salvation, aban­ donment, o f the will to Him t o ‘ do whatsoever He wills, and a willing­ ness to suffer, and even die, if need be, fo r Him. III. Matthew Made a Qroat Feast (Luke 5:29-32). This feast was made In honor o f hls- newly-found Savior, Hls conversion was so real that he wanted hls friends to >become ac­ quainted with his Savior. He was not ashamed to confess his Lord bo- fore them. He showed real tact in making a supper. Men will come to a feast much more readily than they will to a sermon, A great company o f sinners came, who doubtless bad been Matthew’s companions In slu. He how desired them to become hls brothers in Christ. The Scribes and Pharisees were astonished that Jesus Would appear In company with such a motley crowd o f disreputable per­ sons. They were too cowardly to speak to Jesus but they came to tlid disciples. Jesus ‘ championed thetr cause and battled Hls adversaries, Hls reasoning was unanswerable, A physician’s place Is among the sick, Only those who are diseased should come to the doctor’s house. Since spiritual matters are o i more Impor­ tance than physical, Jemis was more than justified In being In the center Of those who were morally sick that He might heal them o f their maladies. He came to call sinners to repentance. wlmfc she meant. The occupant was kept busy working out squares and diamonds, o r counting some ever- recurring unit o f design. To be sick fo r any length o f time In that room would be a constant torture to the eye. We could easily avoid such mis­ takes If only we could get the habit J o f thinking o f our walls as back­ grounds Instead o f as Ihemselven supplying the decorations fo r the room, and keep them as soft and neu­ tral as possible. It is not necessary to buy expensive paper to have attractive walls for rooms, but It is a good plan to farujl- Jarise yourself with the best in order to choose the same effect in cheaper grades. The most satisfactory room I ever saw was papered with mottled gray- blue wrapping paper—and did you know that’ the very cheapest papers are often put on wrong side out? , Styles change in wall paper, and ! !new designs are appearing every sea­ son, but o f one thing we are certain— the hideous cabbage rose and realistic peony varieties are “ out.” The pref­ erence is all fo r plain effects. , Of, these the stipple tones are very: popular. That Is probably' because the methods o f coloring the paper give a great diversity o f tones, and at the same time, the effect subtly expressed is one o f distance, rest and quiet Many o f these papers are given a pressed texture before the soft grays and eqrus^are stippled on, so , that “they resemble grass cloth. . '. Similar to the stipples are the two. tone papers having small 'all-over de­ signs and jstrlpes done In two tones o f some soft, neutral color; such as a shadow design o f softest gray on a background o f Ivory o r tan on ecru. Striped*papers.Come unrfer the gen­ eral head o f plain paper:?, and they have the advantage over perfectly plain paper in the fact that Imperfec­ tions In the walls are never so readily detected.
