THE WICKED HUSBANDMEN.

Selected from Matthew xxi. 33—46.

Hear another parable: There was a certain householder which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.

Again, he sent other servants more than the first and they did unto them likewise. But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.

But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.

And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.

When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen ?

They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men.

THIS publication is designed to aid in the adoption of a UNIFORM, SCRIPTURE LESSON throughout all the classes of the Sunday school. While the Scripture classes are reading the appointed lesson from the Bible, and the Infant class is being taught the text selected from that lesson by means of the "Letter-box," or "Infant Class Texts," the intermediate classes can be occupied upon the same subject by the means of this little book, or by the detached single leaves, each of which contains one Sunday's portion, and may be taken home by the scholars at the close of the day.

The Committee of the Sunday School Union take this cppcrtunity of pointing out some of the advantages of a uniform system.

I. Every teacher can join in a definite plan, and make the teaching consecutive and systematic.

II. All the classes in the school will be "Scripture classes." III. The Notes on the Lessons, and the various illustrations and hints supplied in the magazines, will be available for all; and where a preparation class exists, every teacher in the school, being engaged upon the same lesson, will have an equal interest in regularly attending that class.

IV. A sympathy of mind and feeling will be created throughout the school; all the exercises can be brought into accordance with the one subject; and the expectation may be confidently entertained that, under the divine blessing, useful and permanent impressions will thus be made upon the hearts of the scholars.

For schools where a Box of Moveable Letters cannot be obtained, or for the use of small classes of children unable to read in this Lesson Book, the "Infant Class Texts are printed in large type, and published monthly, price One Penny.

The Notes on the Lessons are also published at One Penny monthly, a month in advance; and will be found to afford valuable aid to all the teachers, whether of Infant, Elementary, or Scripture classes, in explaining, illustrating, and enforcing the lesson of the day.

Further illustrations will be found in the Biblical Treasury (ld. monthly), and Outline Addresses, Lessons, &c., in the Sunday School Teacher (2d. monthly).
