Golden Text Of the increase of His govern­ ment and peace there shall be no ■ end.— (Isa. 9:7.) | Mysteries are very popular today. Mystery stories have a large and assured reading: mystery tales go out over the radio to vast numbers of hearers-. And in this long les­ son chapter the Lord tells His dis-, in lesser amount, but just as truly. I Tho parable of the tares and the wheat chows that God and Satan are J busily at work in this world. Christ the Sop of God sows the good Seed, or wheat, Satan .sows the tares; and the result is that good men and bad, believers and unbelievers, will con­ tinue to “grow” in the world to the very end of this age, when the time of harvest shall come and the tares must toe burned, while ‘the righteous.' shall ‘shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.” And our Lord adds to this word of invitation and warning: “What hath ears to hear, let him hear." A mustard seed is one o'f the smallest of seeds, but the Lord says the Kingdom of Heaven is like it, and that it shall grow to be “the greatest among herbs, and bdcometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches.” That the Kingdom of Heaven foe;, gan in a very small way, and. has grown to a mighty tree throughout the world is plain enough.

These Scripture mysteries, how­ ever, are quite different from what we understand by the same word in common speech today. “A mystery” in .Scripture is a previously hidden truth, now divinely revealed, tout in which a supernatural element still remains, despite the revelation.” In other words, the Holy Spirit has re­ vealed in the inspired Scriptures many different “mysteries” of this sort, and seven parables in our les­ son chapter set forth one of these mysteries, which is that of the “Kingdom of Heaven.” These seven parablee are: The Sower. The Tares Among the Wheat. The The The The The Drag-Net. Each of these seven parables ex­ plains or illustrates different truths concerning the Kingdom of Heaven. But we must remember that our Lord's parables had a twofold pur­ pose: they both revealed truth and concealed truth. They revealed it to. those who were willing, to be­ lieve; they concealed it from those who were unwilling to believe. Thus the Lord said to His- dis4 ciples concerning the Pharisees and other who would not believe in Him.: “Therefore speak I to them in par­ ables: because they seeing not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand . . . But blessed are your eyes for they see: and your ears for they hear.” In the parable of the sower, our Lord describes a man some of which fell by and was eaten by the fell upon stony places was not much earth, quickly then was scorched by tlfe sun and, having no deep root, with­ ered away; some fell among thorns' and was choked by them; some fell into good ground “and .brought forth fruit, some thirtyfold.” What did this story mean? The Lord did not explain all of His par­ ables, but this one He did. The seed ie “the word of the Kingdom.” When it is heard, by some wayiside listener who does not understand, it, Satan can easily come and “catch away that which was sown in his heart.” Others hear it gladly, but superfic­ ially, and when any real test of trib­ ulation or persecution comets, their faith, not being real, withers away. Some hear the truth and seem to ac­ cept it, but later “the care of thie world, ahd the deceitfulness of riche5* choke the Word.” But the true be­ liever, welcoming it intelligently in his heart, is “the good ground” ahd beans fruits, some abundantly some ■niMi that cast into the sea and gathered of every kind, both good and is not difficult :to sea the mean- MURRAY SHOE SIX WIN A crowd witnessed a keenly con­ tested hockey tournament in the Granton arena when Hobbs’ Hard­ ware team and Granton played the first game score, 6-3 in favor of Granton.

A car! Shaw! Especially when the other fellow is sulking! ******** BETTER think ABOUT Tins 'In days like these when every time one turns the dials of the radio ho is liable to hear about the formation of some new political party oi* to listen to the story of the quarrels in the ranks of .some lately formed party, it is just as well to heed the words Of Dr. Henry S. Pritchett, as quoted in the -New York Times-. “No men in our legislative bodies have struck tso hard a blow at sound government as those who have sought to multiply parties. However well meant the efforts of the leaders of these blocs may bo, the practical effect of their action is1 to make government by the franchise impossible. Personal leadership cannot take the place of party loyalty, notwithstanding the Weakness of blind party obedience. The sincere politiCan will make his fight in­ side hie party or, if the difference with his party is- too deep, he will frankly go to the opposition party.” ******** HAVE A CARE! We stand side by side with everyone who works conscientiously and consistently for all that makes for a just and lasting peace. Nevetheless, we know that there are two sides to every story.
