THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time. --January, A.D. 30.
Place•—Sctnewhere in Peraea,
the province of Palestine, opposite
Judaea, on the Eastern side of
the Jordan River.
Iu this lesson we have revealed
to us the remarne:ale ability of the
Lord Jesus to teach the profound-
est spiritual truths iu the simplest
forth, in Stories. in parables and in
sentences which are so vivid and
picturesque that they stay in our
minds all the year. of our life, We
remember fur more of what Jesus
said than of what I'aul said, This
is one of the ways in which Jesus
manifests himself as a teacher
conte from God. No ratan ever spoke
ea he spoke,
Our Lord is_t-re dining as a
guest in the home of a Pharisee;
he has just finished his remarkable
discourse on the importance of one
taking a humble place when invit-
ed to dinner, when, because of a
superficially pious exclamation of
one sitting nearby at the feast, He
-ras led to give His famous parr -
able of the Great Supper. Our Lord
here is going to chow how feasts
held in our homes are pictures,
we might say, of a greater and
more important feast to which all
men are invited by the grace of
God, a spirlteal feast, if partaken
of, will bestow benefits for all
eternity.
The Great Supper
Luke 14: 15. "And wheu one of
them that sat at meat s 'th him
heard these things, he said unto
him, Blessed is he that shall eat
bread in the kingdom of God." This
was an edifying remark made by
one of the Pharisee guests in an
effort to turn the converastion
from what was personal and prof-
itable to a vague generality which
touched nobody. 16. "But he said
unto him, A certain man made a
great supper; and he bade many.
17. And he sent forth his servant
at supper time to say to them that
they were bidden, Come; for all
things ate now ready. "The custom
in our Lord's day in inviting
friends to a dinner was first to
issue- a general invitation to them,
without specifying the exact time
Por the banquet, and. then, when
the banquet was all ready, to send
out a. servant who would announce
ot all the previously invited guests
that everything was ready for their
coming, It is inferred here that
the preparation by Christ of the
spiritual feast was made in a sim-
ilar manner, and a similar invita-
tion issued to it.
They Make Excuses
18. "And they all with one con-
sent began to make excuse." These
people ought to have excused them-
selves, if they wished, when the
first invitation carte, Their beg-
ging off now was breaking their
promise; and the excuses were
transparently worthless, 18. "The
first said unto him, I have bought a
field, and I must needs go out and
see It; I pray thee have me excus-
ed. 19 And another said, I have
bought five yoke of oxen, and I go
to prove them; I pray thee have
me excused. 20. And another said,
1 have married a wife, and there-
fore I cannot come." The point of
this story is that these men thought
more of property, the pressure ot
business and the pleaures of home,
than they did of the privilege of
being the guests of one who had
invited them, Of how many men
in their prime do these then stand
as the representatives; men so
engrossed in the business or pur-
suits of the world that they posi-
tively do not know that God had
any claims neon their time,—so
busy with their affairs that it nev-
er once occurs to them that there
are other objects for the sake o4
whi.ch these things •Could he for a
time laid aside.
The Second Invitation
21. "And the servant came, and
told his Lord these things. Then
the master of tha house being
angry said to his servant, Go out
quickly into the streets and lanes
of the city, and bring In hither the
poor and maimed and .blind and
lame." Those referred to In this
verse, people who received the sec-
ond invitation, are certainly those
Jews who might be called the pub-
licans and sinner, the unrighteous

s"And the servant said, Lord, what
tlabtt didst command Is done, and

23. "And the lord ::rid unto the
'Servant, Go cwt into the highways

had the Law. The giver of the
feast expects that these honseless
dwellers In the open will hold them-
selves so u worthy of the invita-
tion as hardly to be persuaded
that it was intended for them. 24.
"For I say unto you, that none of
these men that were bidden shall
taste of my supper." Thus far
Christ uses love as a compelling
power to persuade men to accept
the invitation offered in the Gos-
pel. Now, in one short including
sentence, He tries to appeal with
a warning to the hearts of those
who have not thus far yielded to
Him. Think not to gain admission
to the banquet after the door' is
shut.
Merry Bells

Form Notes
Storage of he
For Farm Use
0 0
There are several "methods of
storing ice on the farm. There is
the ordinary ice house, the still
more elaborate insulated ice house,
and the "ice -well" which Is used
la many parts of the West for
making lee during the cold weath-
er and then utilizing the space over
the ice for cooling purposes dun
Mg the stunner months, Full de•
tails of construction along with ill-
ustrated specifications of the three
methods are given in the farmers'
bulletin "Simple Methods for the
Storage of Ice" which may be ob-
tained free from Publicity and Ex-
tension Division, Dominion Depart-
ment of Agriculture, Ottawa.
The storage of a few blocks of
ice for summer use is a very sintple
matter where ice is available. Any
unoccupied corner of a sited will
serve the purpose, A rough board
enclosure, ten feet square by eight
feat high, will hold enough ice to
provide 50 pounds per day for 130
days, after allowing for a reason-
able amount of wastage. The small-
er the quantity stored, the larger
the proportion of waste, The bot-
tom
ottom of the enclosure should be
covered with about one foot of saw-
dust. Ie the soil underneath is int -
pervious clay, it will be all the
better if there are several inches
of gravel under the sawdust.
If it is necessary to erect a
special ice house, the roughest kind
of a shed that will keep out the
weather is all that is necessary.
Poles may be driven into the
ground and lined on the inside with
rough lumber or slabs, leaving a
space of about three-eighths of an
inch between each board, and the
whole covered with a roof to keep
out the rain.
Plan No. 1 in the bulletin shows
the construction of a building with
2 x 4 inch studding, lined with
rough lumber inside, and a space
of three-eighths of an inch left be-
tween each hoard.
Plan No. 2 gives full specifica-
tions for the insulated ice house,
and Plan No. 3 for the ice well.
Hunger Makes

If Your Child ' Won't Eat,
We've Some Tips For You
'Your child may not be eating

old and even his 20 minutes of

mended before the lunch is re-
moved will not hurry hint and
away goes the plate with Jackie
unfed. Why won't he eat?
Doctors recommend a change
of food. Some stothachs, it is
true, cannot digest this and that
food, and certain things will dis-
agree with Jackie which Kay can
digest by the plateful.
With all that, however, Jack
needs to get into the habit of be-
-- ing hungry for the good, whole-
some general diet prescribed for
any child of his age. In other
words, he must develop the "ha-
bit" of eating.
And how is any habit set? By
stimulating ` interest. Over -solici-
tation may be very undoing. He
may set interest in your plead-
ing above, the important one of
eating.
"Sameness" palls on children,
too. •They enjoy a little catering
to as much as adults. Food needs
to be appetizing and tasty and
ni..e looking.
If all these things are taken
care of and the doctor says he's
quite healthy, try letting him get
good and hungry — it's very good
sauce,
