(Luke 13:29.) enjoyable social evening to a was that “all “Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, who Satan hath bound, Jo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?” It was then that the people rejoic ed for the glorious things being done by the Lord. He went on to teach more about the Kingdom of God. It is like a grain of mustard seed, which grows, and becomes a great tree, so that the fowls of the air lodge in its branches. Or it is like leaven, or yeast, “which a woman took and hid in three meas ures of meal, till the whole was leav ened.” Do these two parables mean that: the Kingdom of God, consisting of all believers in God, is growing stead ily, silently, increasingly, until it will gradually but completely fill the whole world and win all humanity? The whole teaching of the Bible is against such an interpretation; and so is the plain record of the facts, both in history and in present-day events. Sound Bible students and teachers believe that our Lord’s teaching here, in agreement with His teaching in other parables, and also the teaching of the Scriptures throughout, describ es what is called “the mystery form of the Kingdom.” As Dr. Scofield, puts it: “It is the pshere of Christian profession during this age. It is a mingled body of true and false, wheat and tares, good and bad. It is defil ed by formalism, doubt and worldli ness. But within it Christ sees the true children of the true Kingdom, who, at the end of the age, are to ‘shine forth as the sun.’ ” Then the Lord, as He His ministry through the villages on His way to pleaded ’with me to accept their sal vation while there was yet time. There is yet time during the earthly life of any one, and there is yet time in this still continued age of grace, which has already lasted nineteen centuries, since our Lord died and rose again, and ascended to heaven. But this age of grace may be ended at any moment by His return, when judgment will have to take the place of grace. Asked whether only a few would be saved, His reply was: “Strive to enter in at the strait gate; for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in and shall not be able.” Our Lord’s heart-broken lament ov er Jerusalem may well be His lament over the whole world :“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets,, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gath ered thy children together, 'as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not?” H.

Vitamins B. C. and E. are water soluble and therefore the water in which vegetables are cooked should never be thrown away. If old carrots are soaked in cold water for an hour they may be scrap ed instead of peeling and more food value is thus retained. Parsnips are better if peeled .after cooking. Cabbage should be soaked in cold salted water for about 20 minutes be fore cooking and 8 minutes is suffic ient time for cooking if it is chopped and 15 minutes if in quarters. Salt added to coloured vegetables when partially cooked prevents loss of colour. If onions are peeled under water they do not cause tears. Dried beans, peas and lentils should be soaked in soft water. Shack in played a leather’s I _ JESUS EXPLAINS THE KING DOM. Sunday, March 29—Luke 13. Golden Text: They shall come from the east, and THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON And all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.” Here is a verse that suddenly shines out midway in a chapter pack ed and running over with events and teachings that could centre only in the person and work of the Son of God. The verse is introduced by the record that when the Lord had said certain, things “all his adversaries were ashamed.” Then it the people rejoiced.” It seems to be be a foregleam of the time, yet to come, when all the adversaries of the Lord Jesus Christ shall be put to open shame and de feat, and when “all the people” who have believed in Him through the cen turies shall “rejoice with joy unspeak able and full of glory" because of His supreme conquests and triumphs. In this same chapter we are told of enmityvagainst Christ, public criti cism of Him, plotting by a Roman King to kill Him, the determined an tagonism of the Holy City Jerusalem and the holy people Israel against their own Messiah, and we are re minded of the chapter in Paul’s epis tle to the Phillipians which tells us of Christ’s seven downward steps from eternal glory with the Father until, having become a man, and hav ing humbled Himself, He “became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.” And then immediately we are told that because of this “God also hath highly exalted Him, and giv en Him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus ev ery knee should bow, of things in hea ven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every ton gue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Fath er.” The lesson chapter in Luke is filled with facts and teachings that throw light on what the Kingdom of God is. It begins with a stern yet pleading word from the Lord who came to save men from hell by dying in their stead. The Roman Governor Pilate had just put to death certain Galileans, and the Lord said to His hearers: “Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” He longed to have men repent and , turn to Him, and let Him save them. This is still the longing of His heart; and “now is the accepted time” when men can repent and be saved. Re pentance and faith in Christ as Sav iour—that is the way of entering the Kingdom. The Lord Jesus was teaching in one of the Jewish synagogues on the Sabbath day. A woman who had been held in the bondage of disease for eighteen years/ so crippled and help less that she “was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself” Was singled out by the Lord; “He called her to Him, and said unto her, Woman thou are loosed from thine infirmity, And He laid His hands on her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.” That was Kingdom privilege, ex tended by the King. Did every one praise and honor Jesus because of this great miracle? It is amazing to read that the Jew ish ruler of the synagogue was indig nant. And why? “Because that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath day.” There were six days for this sort of thing, said the ruler, and people ought to come on weekdays if they wanted to be healed, "and not oft the Sabbath day.” The Lord openly exposed the main, continued cities and Jerusalem, Don’t Know Whether the “Pain" Remedy You Use is SAFE? Don’t Entrust Your Own or Your Family’s Well-Being to Unknown Preparations TPHE person to ask whether the preparation you or your family are taking for the relief of headaches is SAFE to use regularly is your family doctor. Ask him particularly about “ASPIRIN.” He will tell you that before the discovery of “Aspirin” most “pain” remedies were advised against by physicians as bad for the stomach and, often, for the heart. Which is food for thought if you seek quick, safe relief. Scientists rate “Aspirin” among the fastest methods yet discovered for the relief of headaches and the pains of rheumatism, neuritis and neural gia. And the experience of millions of users has proved it safe for the average person to use regularly, In your own interest remember this, “Aspirin” Tablets are made in Canada. “Aspirin” is the registered trade-mark of the Bayer Company, Limited.
