GOLDEN TEXT—Thfi Sou of Man la come to seek and to save that which is lost.—Luke XS; 10 . « REP'JCRENCE JIATEUIAI—-Matt, t : - ; 'tOMS \ . _ PRIMARY TOPIC—JcsUS BrlPBS a Lit- U* Girt Back to Life. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus the Great Mla- plonary. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Jeans Meeting All Human Needs. y o u n g - p e o p l e AND ADULT TOPIC —Jesus the Ideal Missionary. • I. The Great Missionary’s Field (vy, t-Sf). He went throughout every city and village. The true mlsslonur^ltoetr to everybody, for all need the gbspel. 1, HI b Message' (v. 1), He preached (:he glad tidings of the kingdom of God. The gospel'message Is truly good tidings, for the great King Is offering to rebellious sinners salvailon through Jesus Christ. . 2. His Helpers (v. 1.) The twelve apostles were with Him. The mission, pry, should utilize the help of others. 8. Supported by Saved Women (vv. CHRISTMAS FEAST FOBBIRDS mm Mm F.'. *Lrr- T j i' c in H^rda Not Fsryot- t;n—.7e3d na^;rl Near Nesta • and Shelters, 3). Out of grateful hearts certain women who had experienced »the say­ ing power of the gospel ministered unto Jesus Of their substance. II. The Great Missionary Teaching (vv. 4-21). . 1. The Parable o f the Sower (w . 4- 21.). (1) the soiver—.TcsuS (see Mutt. 18:27), (2) The sted—the Word of God (y. 11), (8) The kinds o f ground (vv. 5-8). (a). Wayplde (v. 5). This foot-trodden ' path pictures the" hard­ hearted upon which no impression can be made. The preached word finds no entrance, and Satan snatches it away as-birds pick up the grain ftorn the hard-beaten path. In such cases faith cannot spring np and result in salva­ tion (v. 12), (b) Stony ground (v. 6). This Is not stones mixed with earth, but a thin layer o f earth on a ledge of rock. The seed falling upon such earth springs up quickly, hut the plant soon dies when exposed to the sun. This pictures the' hearer who receives with Joy the message of the gospel, but when persecution and trials come be­ cause of following Christ he gives up rad deserts the cause (v. 15),. (c) Thorny ground (v. 7). This ground Is good, but It has thorns grbwing in it. The seeds spring up; bat the plant has no room to develop. This pictures the Christians who bear no Ghrlstlan fruit because of being preoccupied with ‘Spares, riches and pleasures’1 of this life (v. 14). (d) Good ground (v. 8). The seed here sprang up and bore fruit to the full measure. This pictures the honest heart which receives the gospel message and allows it to produce In its life a full harvest o f grain (v, 15). The* application of tills parable Is found In verses 16;18. . 2. Kinship with -Jesus Christ (w . 19- 21). Jesus teaches here that there Is a relationship to Him which Is closer than the tie o f blood: < III. The Great Missionary Doing Wonders (vv. 22-89). ,1. Calming the Storm (vv.,, 22-25). (1) Jesus asleep (v. 23). While the disciples were sailing the ship tho Master fell asleep. (2) The fright­ ened disciples (w . 23, 24). As their ships were filled with water the dis­ ciples, awoke Jesus with their cry of peril. (3) Jesus rebuked the wind and water (v. 24), At Hls word there was n great calm. (4) Jesus -rebuked the disciples (v, 25). He did not rebuke them for waking Him, but for their laek o f faith, jyrjsiHIWFTMAS Is'not merely a J M f M festival celebrated by and for man alone. Among the wWF fifiklore of other countries ^ are several quaint stories in which animals and birds give evi­ dence of their adoration. A well- known Bosnian legend offers a version of world-adoration. They claim that on tho holy day “ the sun in the east bowed down, the stars stood still; the mountains and forests shook and touched the earth with their summits, aud the green pine tree bent; the grass was be-fiowered with the open­ ing of-b lossom s; incense sweet as myrrh pervaded upland and forest; birds sang on the mountain tops and all give thanks to the great God.” in-.Bosnla on Christmas Day a sheaf of rye Is put near birds' nests and bird houses for -the' birds’ Christmas. An old Indian legend says that on Christmas night all the deer In the forest kneel in adoration before the Great Spirit. Woe to him, however, who tries to spy upon them, He Is punished with perpetual stiffening of the knees, Many people, of the Old World claim that on Christmas night animals are gifted with speech, but. none must trespass or eavesdrop. * Many and many have been the tales which account for tin, robin's red breast. In great many parts of Europe he is called the Savior’s bird, and a story is told that when the Christ was crucified the robin, utiable to stand Hls suffering, ventured to pluck the thorns from Hls head. In doing so, the blood stained the robin's breast, which sign he wears today. 2. Casting Out Deihons (w . 26-39). Demon-posjfesslon was In that day, qnd is today, an awful reality. (1) Jesus met by the demoniac (vv, 26-29). (2) Jesus' question (v. 80), The purpose of this question doubtless was to bring the real maq to consciousness--to en­ able him to distinguish between the draion and himself. (3) The demons' request (vv. 31, 32), They asked per­ mission to enter Into a herd o f swine, It seeihs that the demons have a dis­ like for disembodiment. The devil cannot get without Divine permission. (4) The request granted (w . 32, 33). Just why this was done we do not know. Since Jesus did It we must be­ lieve that It was wise. (5) The effeqt upon the people (vv. 34-37). (a) The keepers of the swine went and made, it known in the olty and country, (b) The people made Investigation. They saw the man clothed and in hls right mind, and heard the testimony of those who had seen what was done, (c) Besought .Tesus to depart from them. (6) Bequjst of Hie man whom He Sealed (vv. 38. 89). He desired to be with Jesus. Tills was natural and right, hut his responsibility was to go home and show them what great things God had done fo f him. Pure Religion. - . Pure religion atul undefiled hefore God and the Father Is this, to visit the widow and the fatherless In their affliction, and" to keep himself unspot­ ted from the world.—Jittnes 1 :27.

In the city of Padua, long ago, good old St. Nicholas used to go about the streets after dark and throw through the windows o f the homes of the poor people long knitted purses, tied at both ends, and containing much need­ ed'coins, These purses were made of yarn, and when- untied looked not un­ like a footless stocking. Finally, as time went on, the poor people, hoping ‘ thus to rpnilnd the more fortunate o f tlielr, needs, used to hang these empty purses out of the windows on the night hefore Christ­ mas, so that a gift might be placed In them.- In the north’’ country, where the weather Is cold at Christmas time, the, purses were hung by .the chimney place In the hope that St, Nicholas would drop his- offering, down- the chimney. • When the purses went out of fashion stockings as the thing most like them were used In their stead, and that Is why we,today Still observe the prac­ tice and^he custom. "COME AN’ GONE1" I N THE days before prohibi- Mnn ..it s>lrl southern niii'lrv .... t tio , all old, uurky was wont to celebrate Christ­ mas with a quiet and solitary, bottle of liquor. Upon one oc­ casion he .was going home with Ills prize under hls arm, when he stumbled on the curbstone. The' bottle slipped, fell and broke, spilling the contents all over the pavement, i The old darky regarded the catastrophe with gentle mourn­ fulness. “Dere, now,” he murmured, “Christmas come an* gone!” -mmomm- CHRISTMAS DAY IN ICELAND Native* Still Cling to Old Customs.and Songs; Day I* One o f Great Happiness. ^ T o l U C H a strong-winged thing A B w l 19 Cl,rlstmRs Cheer that It 1ms betaken itself even to that Isolated Islnnd. of the far north, where the short­ est day Is four hours longhand where at Christmas time the suh does not rise above the horizon for a week. Christmas-Is a great day with the people of Iceland and they still cling to all their old customs and songs and the day to them is one of great hap­ piness. One of thetr favorite old song?

Where They Were; O h inquiring why they made eo much noise upstairs, ttfe twins told me that they were just playing “war.” Pretty soon the noise ceased, all .war. *MH; becoming uneasy at the unusu­ al silence, I went upstairs to investi­ gate; they were nowhere to be seen} but after calling several times and asking where they were, a still, small voice from under dne Of the beds an­ swered ; "We dasn’t tell, but w«*s someplaev upstalra.”"-Exchnnge. a<A Rom*®*” *m hurst; tho futf-ometsr at tho Murdock theatre next Thursday Bight, OfSliSTs LAbout the Eco­ nomic Grab Game ‘-i - v /™Sf)MPARE the f : m>t Ore.-on apple with a wild J <’rab anc) you have a simple parallel of the nn* ft'J'linj refinements cf political and economic in»ii- : tutons We fomjd'the apple wild and c tamed it.

When we reach 'that .good goal we are going to create out of those common carriers a revenue which will greatly reduce our tax burden. It is a pruning process, a program of selection and development of that which brings promise of the bet­ ter, until we get the best. We used'to be afraid of railroad mergers. We used to pass laws to prevent them. We thought it a ter­ rible system for small railroads to ‘ get together and organize one large system. Now we think it fine. We’re encouraging it.

It is just Risking one fine, big apple out or four smaller ones. It's improv­ ing the fruit on our national economic and industrial tree. If you want to see a line of old railroad crabs just look at any passing freight train. It's a kaleidosco­ pic picture of a monumental mix-up, a. moving pano­ rama of the iuehicicncy and waste of a lot of little crab roads, _ On that passing freight train you will see cars marked New York Central, Southern Pacific, Boston and Maine, Denver & Rio Grande,' Southern. Great' Northern, Lackawanna, Illinois Central, Wabash,. Florida East Coast, Soo Line, Texas and Pacific and , so on to the caboose, Every one of those cars has to be distributed back' to the four corners of the continent until they get! on their own little siding.

The United States mail psuch is a mail pouch any-j car, where from Maine to Arizona, Any railroad should be the same. f The more they merge the better and whep w - get , one big merger of all railroads, the next step will be; for the government to take them over, run them, a c-, quire the profit and spend it 7n running the business, of the government, thereby reducing the tax burden1 upon the tax payer. Railroads, like apples, get better as they get big-, ger. It’s a. great and -grand grafting game just like, pruning up the trees for the finer product.
