THE TWELVE SENT FORTH
Sunday, Feb. 25,—Matt. 9.<35 to 11.1
Golden Text
The harvest truly is plenteous, but
the laborers are few; pray ye there
fore the Lord of the harvest, that He
will send forth laborers into His
harvest (Matt. 9;;37, 38.)
When we start praying God some
times has an answer to our own
prayers.
The Lord was "moved with com
passion” as He saw the helpless
• multitudes of people with no one to
care for them or tell them the only
way of eternal life, and He said to
his disciples: "The harvest truly is
plenteous but the laborers are few.”
Then He told His discpies to pray
about it. "Pray ye therefore the Lord
of the harvest^ that He will send
forth labo'rers into His Harvest.”
It is reasonable to suppose that the
disciples obeyed their Lord and be
gan praying for this. Their prayer
was answered as I-Ie sent them. For
the next verse tells of our Lord’s
calling to Him His twelve disciples, ‘
commissioning and empowering them
to enter upon a miraculous ministry
and sonding them forth.
He told them to do exactly what
He had been doing: to cast out de
mons or unclean spirits; to “heal all
manner of sickness and all manner
of disease”; to cleanse the lepers
raise the dead.” And, as we find
elsewhere in the Gospels and the
Acts, he disciples worked all these
miracles in the name and by the
power of Christ.
The names of the twelve are giv
en—Peter, Andrew, James, John and
the rest—and always, when this roll
is called, of names that shine with
light in the history of the early
church and will shine for all eter
nity, there is a tragic name, always
coming last, in tragic contrast be-
cause of its deadly, hopeless black
ness. As we read tne list through
we come to the words, "and Judas
Iscariot, who also betrayed Him."
Did the Lord send the twelve dis
ciples at that time
with His message?

rather to the lost sheep of the house
of Israel," He said.
We must never forget that Israel
is God's chosen people; preferred of
God, in His arbitrary, sovereign love
and wisdom, for special and mighty
blessing. As Paul declared that he
was “not ashamed of the Gospel of
Christ,” he declared also that "it is
the power of God. unto salvation to
every one that believeth; to the Jew
first, and also to the Greek,” or Gen
tile. "To the Jew first” is God’s
order. But the Jew was to be, and
is yet to be, the channel of God’s
blessing to the whole world.
Men are always prone to take the
pleasant, gracious, loving words
spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ and
to forget or ignore His words of
stern and righteous justice. He made
it plain .to the desciples as we find
it through all the Scriptures, that
these who received God’s gracious
offer of peace, salvation and life
should indeed have infinite blessing;
but that those who would not re
ceive it would have to take the con
sequences "And whosoever shall
not receive you, nor hear your words
when ye depart out of that house or
city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Verily I say unto you; It shall be
more tolerable for the land of So
dom and Gomorra in the day of judg
ment than for that city.”
The righteous justice of God, the
necessary terror of His inevitable
judgment upon those who reject His
love, is a note too often missing in
our churches today.
The disciples were not promised an
easy and delightful time in this
world. They were promised just
the opposite—persecution. They were
told to "beware of men,” who would
deliver them up to the council^,
scourge them in the synagogues.
"And ye shall be hated of all men
for IMy name’s sake,” said the Lord.
How could this be?

have called the
Beelzebub, how
they call them of his household?”
z These words ought to awaken us
to a realization of their .meaning.
People often say, in ignorance of the
Gospel and the sinful nature of men,
that if only all Christians were faith
ful to their trust and lived lives of
the same perfect love that Christ
Himself had, all opposition would
i cease and the hearts of all men
would be won for Christ. Why, then,
did not this happen when Christ
Himself lived and ministered
There is no such teaching
found in the Bible, Love will
win all men, but only some.
And those who will not have
love of God will have to endure
righteous judgment of God for eter
nity. As the Lord predicted perse
cution for His faithful disciples. He
added this word: ‘And fear not them
which kill the body, but are not able
to kill the soul: but rather fear Him
which is able to destroy both soul
and body in hell.” Bodily death is
as nothing, compared with spiritual
death.

against .her mother-in-law. And a
mon’slovee shall be they of his own

Then the Lord speaks the search
ing word that we must love Him
more than, we love earthly father or
mother, son or daughter, if we need
to choose between our earthly loved
ones and Himself. It is a decisive
test indeed, but
worthily. They

of credit. Are both right? Are both necessary? Do they go to

THOSE PENITENTIARY TROUBLES
It seems a very great pity that the tax-paying public does not
get what it may rest assured are the facts, in regard to the Kingston
penitentiary. Yet out of all the brew and stew of the discussion of
affairs regarding that big penal institution some things are emerg
ing.First, the majority of the inmates of the penitentiary are not
confined therein because they were found building or supporting
churches. No, it is quite clear that the folk in the cells are not
there because they stayed in at night, read good books went to Sun
day School and were men who paid strict attention to their own
lawful business. If any one has any doub’t on this question all he
needs to do is. to look at thfe bunch and to hear their talk when
they are allowed untrammelled speech. The convicts are not
normal folk and their abnormaity does not lean to the side of zeal
for the welfare of'humanity.
And that’s the thing to be recognised. These men arc. not
normal, in by far the great .majority of cases. Nor can they be
treated as if they were normal..Second, it is quite clear that the .convicts have not been handled
by men who knoyy how such handling should be done. ^liere 111 a/
be exceptions, but the exceptions simply prove the rule. The men
in charge of the convicts are under the thumb of the party politics.
Anyone with experience knows what must follow, gross inefficiency
and miserables conditions generally.Our suggeston? When a party is brought before, the courts
and is found guilty of conduct that proves him a menace to society,
he should immediately be dealt with by a board that will see to it
that he is examined physically and mentally by competent physic
ians and given treatment that it is believed will meet his case. All
through the time of his segregation from society the’ sentenced
party should be under the observation of a board who will note, and
weigh his progress and make such changes in his treatment as his
case calls for. If he doos not "cure" he should not be allowed to
mingle With society. , , .Our second suggestion is that the penitehtaries should be un
der the control of a non-political commission responsible to parlia
ment. Further, the penitentaries should be open to fully accredit
ed representatives of the church, of the press, of the judiciary, of
business associations, of universities, of courts these repre
sentatives to be elected annually by these bodies. Tom, Dick and
