FARMER LAUGHS AT ADVERSITIES WINNIPEG, APRIL lltli—Cour age and an abundance of cheerful ness in the face of economic diffi culties are reflected in a letter re ceived from an unnamed Manitoba farmer by Hon.

The letter follows: “Dear Sir: I am neither a bum nor a writer, and if I can’t state my family’s circumstances, here to appeal to you, then it is just too bad for me. My case was to have been put in the right hands last fall No doubt it slipped through his fin gers and was lost. Ha, Ha, Ha! Quite happy over it am I not?

JESUS REBUKES SELF-SEEKING (May be used with temperance applications). (International Uniform Sunday .... School Lesson, April 23) GOLDEN TEXT: “Love worketh no ill to his neighbour; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law/'—Ro mans 13:10. LESSON PASSAGE: Mark 9: 33-43. “The nineteenth century will shine in history as a century of dis coveries. An English scientist has given us a list of them but he has omitted the greatest of them all, the discovery of the child, Accurately speaking, we should say the “redis covery of the child,’ for the child was first discovered ninteen hun dred years ago by the Carpenter of Nazareth. In the first century of our era Jesus took a child and set him in the midst and he has done it again jn our time. He has .set him in the midst of artists and in increased numbers they have been painting pictures of children. ‘He has set him in the midst of the poets and tney have set the movements of the child’s life to music. He has set him in the midst df psychologists and they are studying him furiously. He has set him in the midst of the .Church and the greatest work the Church has done in a century has been done among the young.” Personal Ambition, 33-35 Perhaps it was the special privi lege enjoyed by Peter, James and John who accompanied Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration that led to the dispute among the disciples as to which one of them would be the greatest. It may be that Peter, James and John had not been able to con ceal their .personal satisfaction at belonging to the Inner Circle of the freinds of Jesus. Or it may be that some of the other nine disciples had asserted that they were quite as cap able as any one of the select three. Probably they raised their voices as they argued. Jesus knew that some differences of opinion were being expressed. When they came into the house in Capernaum, Jesus asked them what it was they had been dis puting about by the way. They were ashamed to tell him. While they were with each other they could give rein to their individual ambi tions, but in the presence of Jesus the question of rank at puce appear ed unworthy. Jesus told them that there was only one way to be first. The one who is willing to be last of all and servant of all actually does win first place in the roll of honour This was a very unpleasant announ cement to the disciples who had dreams of power. Christ and the Child, 86, 37 To explain this spiritual law more fully, Jesus took a child and set him in the midst of the disciples. It may have been one of Peter’s little children who received this honor, and served as an object lesson to the self-seeking disciples. Mark tells of Jesus taking a little child in his arms and saying to the disciples, “Whosoever shall receive one or such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me but receiveth not me, but him that sent me/’ In this way Jesus iden tified himself with the children. This is a profound social law. Slav ery was an inhuman institution be cause of the way it broke up home. Intemperance is a specially vicious sin because it has so often impover ished children, and both by heredity and environment destroyed their chances of normal living. Child la bour is social stupidity because it will undermine the health of the children sent to work—and no justi fication ,of cheap wages can justify that. The present period of unem ployment has borne heavily upon fathers and mothers, but its most lasting results will be in the lives of little children born and brought up during days when adequate foou and care could not be provided Dy reason of poverty. Christ says that any injury to a child is the same as injury to him. Any service to a child is equivalent to a service rendered directly to him A stern test of the civilization of any nation is in its care of children. A Lesson in Tolerance There is an instinct of intolerance in human nature. (Such a great sou! as Paul could hold the clothes of those who stoned Stephen. John Cal vin was consenting to the burning of Servetus. The Spanish Inquisition was not solely due to the nationality and creed of the persecutors. The spirit of persecution is deeply bea ded in human nature. Even John the Apostle of Love, wanted to forbid one who was using the name or Jesus but who was not a member or the disciple group. The attitude oi Jesus was one of tolerance. He said, “He that is not against us is op our part/' In My Name, 41-43 Jesus warned mankind against in juries to children. The Jews were inland people and dreaded the sea. Jesus told his disciples that rather than offend a little child, it was bel ter for any one to have a. millstone tied around his neck .and to be cast into the sea, so Seriously did he re gard the welfare of children. Nearly forty million people are enlisted in Sunday School work according to the statistics of the World’s Sunday School Association, This is being done in the name of Christ. The Christ spirit is the great motive for service to children. Giving’ Up, 43 This lesson is intended to provide a temperance application. It is a law of life that by giving up certain in jurious things we make possible higher blessings. Jesus was very out spoken about the necessity of giv ing up, even good things, which in terfered with better things. Admit ting that he was speaking figurative ly, the force of his statement is till strong. “If thy hand offend thee, cut it off.” The issue does not come to us in the light of cutting off a hand, but it does come as renoun cing a habit, changing a desire, ex ercising power of self-control. So many noble men and women have sacrificed inner peace, social influ ence, personal health, even life itself through becoming enslaved to alco hol, that it is nothing less than sim ple prudence to be a total abstainer in regard to intoxicating drink. Questions for Discussion 1. Since the relaxation of prohi bition, Canadians have spent approx imately one billion dollars in liquor. Has this been a factor in the econ omic depression? 2. What are some modern sins against childhood? 3. What has been the effect of the economic depression upon child wel fare? 4. Has any way been found whereby personal ambition may be overcome in the Christian (Church? 5. Does tolerance ever cease to be a virtue. tor all interior woodwork. floors.ril.
