Lesson
(By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of
the Sunday School Course In tile MAody
Bible Institute of Chicago.)
(Copyright. 1917, Western Newspsper Union.)
LESSON FOR APRIL 22
JESU8 ANOINTED AT BETHANY.
LESSON TEXT-John 12:1-11.
GOLDEN TEXT—She hath done what
she could.—Mk. 14:8.
This Is a lesson of Jesus in the
home. It occurred at the beginning of
passloa week. We have before us the
master; the worker, Marthu; the wor-
shiper, Mary; the witness, Lazarus;
the traitor, Judus, and the people with-
out. An unconscious bit of wisdom
fe41 from the lips of that good house-
wife who exclaimed, “How much bet-
ter my neighbors’ houses look when I
have my windows clean.” Too much
we are looking through the eyes of
selfishness. Out of this lesson let us
lea rip to look through unselfish eyes.
I.    Unjust Criticism (vv. 1-6). It Is
six days before Jesus’ last Passover.
The accounts of Matthew and Mark
suggest it to have been within two
days, because they mentioned this
feast after telilng of the conspiracy of
the chief priests and elders with Ju-
dus, who came to his determination to
sell his Master after the reprimand
given him on this occasion.
(1)    The Value of Good Deeds. Je-
sus did not forget, in the supreme
hour of his life, the friends whom he
loved. To bring them some further
spiritual gifts, he hud come to their
home in Bethany. DoubtleA he also
had in mind the desire to nourish the
faith which hnd been kindled in the
heurts qt ull by the resurrection of
Luzurus, just as he returned to Cumi
after having performed his first mir-
acle (John 4:54). Jesus wus Very
God of Very God, ygt he wus very
much of a real man; therefore he en-
joyed the pleasures of home as much
as other men, and the joys of kinship
and brotherhood.
(2)    The Wealth of Good Deeds. Out
of her love Mary expended $51, prob-
ably her whole treasure. In the pur-
chase of this alabaster box, und put
It uside to use it upon him ut the
proper tlmei We do not think that she
stopped to calculate the cost of this
ointment. Love never estimates value.
Her deed proved u safer guide of con-
duct tliun tho calculating prudence of
Judas and the other disciples (see
Matt. 20:8). Such deeds are always
liaiked ujK»n with suspicion. The lscu-
riots usually are the leaders in criti-
cizing the actions of others. Euvy lay
at the bottouf of their criticism, but
good deeds are unconscious, for we
rend thut “the house wus filled with
odor.”
(3)    A Standard of Good Deeds
(Mark 14:8); “She did wlmt she
could,” and we have also the record
of good deeds, a memorial to her
(Murk 14:ii). A large number of peo-
ple who never give of their own to the
poor uor to the kingdom of God are
willing to criticize others who do give
out of the gratitude of their loving
hearts.
II.    Gracious Commendation (vv.
7-11). Jesus prulsed where his disci-
ples and Judas criticized. The poor
they always hud with them (Murk
14:7). This must have been a chul-
leuge that evidently they had not at-
tended to the poor as they should.
Jesus ulso tells them frankly that
whatever they do for him they must
do speedily. Jesus’ judgment upon
Judas Is a rebuke of the disciples; his
exposure of the sophistry of the crit-
ics und of their subtlety is suggestive.
Upon Mary’s act he bestowed the
highest possible praise. “She hath
done what she could.” That Is all that
Is asked of anyone (II Cor. 8:12). Such
commendation as Jesus bestowed uimid
Mary he bestowed upon no other, uud
his wonderful predictions concerning
her (Matt. 26:13) have been literally
fulfilled. Jesus’ Judgment upon Mary
Is also suggestive. He shielded her,
“let her alone;’’ Ho approved her
works us being guard, ami he Inter-
preted her Innermost pur|M>se In the
act which she hnd performed. This
outward act was literally the pouring
forth of her heart’s udorutlou and wor-
ship. Martini was In part taken up
with her household service. Lazarus
was iu purt taken up with his enjoy-
ment of the presence of Jesus, but
Mary was wholly taken up with Jesus
himself. Does the record surprise us:
“Wheresoever this gospel shall be
preached throughout the whole world,
this also which she hath done shall l>e
s|M>kcn of for a memorial of her?”
Judus, under the Judgment of Jesus,
wus stung (Mutt. 20:14) and hurries
st once to tho enemies of Jesus to
strike a hnrgula with them for the be-
trayul of his Lord though ho did not
secure from these enemies the equiva-
lent of what she had poured upon hlut.

GERMAN VESSELS
Authorities Take Over Ships That
Have Long Been Held in
American Ports.
TOTAL VALUE IS ENORMOUS
Some of the Finest Ships Afloat Are
Among Those Taken—Ellis island
Receives Officers and Crews of
Those in New York Waters.
New York, April 0.—Germany’s $51.-
300.000 mercantile fleet, which hnd
been interned here since the outbreak
of the war. wus seized by the United
States only a few hours after “con-
gress passed the resolution declaring
a state of war. There were 27 passen-
ger liners, freighters and sailing ships
In the fleet, among them the Vater-
lnnd, one of the Inrgest and finest pas-
senger liners In the world.
The German officers and crews,
numbering more than 3.000 men, were
taken to Ellis island for Internment*
It was learned that the machinery
on some of th<^ ships wus smushed.
United States naval men will make
n thorough examination of the vessels
to determine the exact extent of the
damage.
The ships seized In tills port aggre-
gated 304,000 tons. Eleven of them
displaced more than 10,000 tons. The
mighty Vateriund is a leviathan of
51,284 tons and cost $7,500,000.
The Get man officers and sailors on
the ships made no resistance when the
United States officials went on hoard.
Nor did they murmur when told to
prepare to go to the immigration sta-
tion at Ellis Island. A whole fleet
of customs boats swarmed in the Hud-
son collecting the Germans.
