Lesson Passage—Matthew 9:35-10. 8, 40.42. Golden Text—Matthew 9:37, as. The Pharisees said, '.'He hath a devil." What did Jesus do on hear- ing tris? He made life, if possible, mores, sacrifice than ever. He went about teaching, preaching and heal- ing. He was despised and rejected of men, but He shall one day be the de- sire of all nations. Verses 36-38. In these verses we find the key word to the life of Christ—Compas- cion. "When He saw the multitudes," what feeling is uppermost in most minds when viewing a crowd? Is it not surprise and wonder? Not so with Christ. He was moved with compassion. Why? Being the good Shepherd His heart yearned over the great multitudes of folk He knew to be as sheep without a shepherd for the Pharisees and teachers of the law were blind guides. "Then said He to His disciples, the harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few°" He. has been speaking about a shepherd, and now He speaks about laborers. He has been speaking about a fold of sheep, and now He speaks about a harvest - field, and He speaks about both in the same breath. Now as then the world is a great sheep fold and a great har- vest field: it wants shepherds, it wants laborers, it wants compassion, it wants attention. "Pray ye there- fore, the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth laborers into His har- vest." 10:1-8—The Missionary Charge. In the last verse of the preceding chapter Jesus calls upon His disciples to pray for laborers. Then when they have prayed it shall be revealed to them that they themselves are the laborers. He called His ,:isciples to come un- to Him and He gave them power— povder to do good. Jesus Christ gave His disciples power to relieve human burdens, human distresses, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. It was practical work that could be readily appreciat- ed even by the least enlightened minds. The names Of the twelve disciples are all given—but a small number of them have any great fame in the his- tory of the church; the last is always named last. He had the same inti- mate relationship to Jesus as the others but he went down to an in- famous ending. Verses 5-8. In these verses we study the charge Jesus gave to His twelve disciples, when He sent them forth upon their first missionary tour. He had given them divine power and now He tells them to go and put it to its rightful use. He also tells them to whom they are and to whom they are not to preach. The time had not come for the presenting of the gospel to the Gentiles. He likewise told them what they were to preach about. So being fully equipped Jesus sent there forth to their task of evangelization. Towards the end of the charges, He gave them, He identifies Himself with His disciples, and identifies Himself and His disciples with the Father that is in heaven. "He that receiveth you receiveth Me, and he that receiveth me receiveth Him that sent Me." WORLD MISSIONS Missions in the Country Churches A statement issued by Roger Bab son, wizard of statistics, brings the information that a 'study of two hun- dred of the greatest business concerns of America reveals the fact that 30 per cent. of them were made success- ful by sons of ministers. A large ma- jority of the thirty per cent. were sons of poor country preachers. If a similar study of great missionaries and supporters of mission work were made it would likely reveal the fact that more than 50 per cent. of them came from the farm and the little country church. See the lad lying amongst the brae - berries upon the bank of a stream that flowed close by his father's High- land cottage, nestled beneath the shadows of the Grampians. It was there in the open country that Alex- ander Duff, farmer's son, dreamed his dream and saw his golden chariot drawn by horses of fire and heard the voice that bade him "Come up hither; I have work for thee to do." Turn your eyes to a farm in Can- ada. See a group of boys splitting large rocks for the foundation of a barn. Note the sturdy little fellow who, after the others are ready to quit, insists that "the big one" yet left be split before they go in, and with enthusiasmleads off into the woods to Wing in more logs and brush to burn around the great stone for the rock splitting process.

MURDERERS ATTEND DINNER TO MAGISTRATE As a rule a hold-up to a New York- er, a simple sold -up 'tis to him and it is nothing more. If the amount stolen is unusually larger or if there is an undue amount of bloodshed, some of it at the expense of prom- inent persons, the newspapers give the matter a good spread, but in a few days it is forgotten. The Vitale hold-up did involve some conspicuous persons, but no lives were lost and nothing of value was permanently alienated. Yet it is destined to be- come one of the, most notable hold- ups in the city's history. As a re- sult of the investigation following it the magistrates' courts of the city, the police force and even the Roth- stein case—again—are likely to be held up to the .spotlight. A shake-up in police ranks, perhaps a wholesale dismissal of magistrates and maybe even an indictment for murder may follow. Anything, in fact, may fol- low except a clearing up of the Roth- stein case. The expert consensus now is that this mystery never will be solved. The present idea is that the murderer of Rothstein is no more, having himself been murdered by Rothstein's friends. Rothstein's death bed refusal to name his assassin is understood to have been an indirect way of ordering his gang to avenge him. But to return to our hold-up. It occurred in December. A political club made up of Italian members of the Democratic party, was giving a din- ner to Magistrate Vitale, also an It- alian as his name implies. There were present prominent politicians — and others. One of the others was a de- tective named Arthur Johnson. Sud- denly in the midst of the festivities there appeared half a dozen masked men with revolvers. Hands were hoisted, including the hands of John- son. The guests' pockets were turn- ed inside out and several thousand dollars in money and many jewels were taken. Included in the lot was the revolver of the detective. The hold-ups then departed. though the ears of one of them must have burn- ed since an indignant guest yelled at him that he should have been asham- ed to disturb a dinner given to Magi- strate Vitale, who was well known to be a good friend of industrious hold- ups. When Commissioner of Police Whalen read of the affair the first thing that occurred to him was that Johnson had acted in a manner un- becoming an officer in surrendering his revolver. He should certainly have shot somebody and in the opinion of the commissioner it did not much For Lumbago and Sciatica At the very first indication of nagging pains in the back or sciatic nerve, apply Absorbine, Jr. Relief will be prompt because this powerful liniment provides the necessary warmth which stimulates the circulation and breaks up the con- gestion.

Fur- ther investigation reveaied° the fact. that among to gusts vrroa half 3 dozen persona with police records, in- cluding two or three who had t bene- fitted by the benevolence of Magis- trate Vitale when they appeared be- fore him. Johnson was reduced •i rank as a poltroon, although he ex- plained that his revolver had been returned to him shortly after the hold-up by no less a personage than Magistrate Vitale. This 'seemed to make other investigations necessary and it'was not long before the police learned that all the money and jewels taken from the guests had been mysteriously restored to them. There was only one thing of importance missing, and when we say what it was it will be understood that police curiosity was stimulated rather than assuaged. It was in fact, a murder contract, and at this point there enters the story one Ciro Terranova, the so-call- ed F'artichoke king," wearer of half a dozen aliases and three or four times released by the police after having been accused of various offences from murder down, but not very far down. Terranova was one of the guests. Terranova was also a racketeer. His connection with artichokes, of which he does not like to be reminded, con- sisted of nothing more than a mere blackmailing of various fruit and veg- etable dealers. He says his money was made in the stock market. He has a beautiful home and a charming wife and children and a good deal of money. Nevertheless, he did not have so much money that a saving of $15,- 000 was not an object to him. The theory is that Terranova had made a deal with a Chicago gangman who, in consideration for the sum of $20,000 with $5.000 paid down, undertook to remove two •of Terranova's enemies, Frankie Yale and Frankie Marlow. Both these men were racketeers and the supposition is that they encroach- ed on Terranova's territory. That he should wish them out of the way is natural. As a matter of fact both of them have since met their death from automatics, though there is no proof that Terranova did them in. But Commissioner Whalen believes that Terranova signed the murder contract which was in the pocket of one of the guests at the Vitale din- ner and that it was to secure this document their the hold-up was plan- ned. That would explain the return of the money and jewelry. Terranova was missing immediately after the dinner and despite zealous search by -the police did not turn up until a few days ago when he walked into headquarters and surrendered. Of course he denied all knowledge of anything despite a long quizzing. Magistrate Vitale was equally voluble in his denials. But the bar associa- tion is investigating him and his con- nection with criminals who have come before him. Enough has been broughtt to light to show his utter unfitness for the position. The fact that he was also revealed as having borrowed $19,000 from Arnold Rothstein is sup- posed to be an incident not without significance. The connection of po- lice and magistrates with the crim- inal element of New York is likely to be the subject of an investigation by the New York state legislature.

CHEQUERED REGIME OF SPANISH DICTATOR At the end of hit; six years' dictator- ship Primo Rivera hands back to King Alfonso a Spain that is quieter and more prosperous than when he took charge of it. Though his regime may have consisted mainly of a series of blunders and tyrannies the outstand- ing facts of restored peace and thri'r- ing industry are not to be gainsaid. It is true that in the process of get- ting the Spanish people to work Riv- era has deprived them of all the lib- erties which, to people used to de- mocracy, constitute most of what makes life worth living. There has been no parliament. There has been no political debate. There have been no judges or juries except those nom- inated by the dictator. There has been no freedom of the press, There has even been no discussion of public affairs in cafes or at street corners for the past six years. There has been interference in school mat- ters. Leading educationists and writ- ers have been exiled. The dictator has slanted noticeably toward the' church. He never had the confidence of the aristocracy or the intellectual classes. He had the confidence of the king and the support of the military chieftains. Now it appears he has lost these pillars. He may have had the approval of the average working man and farmer who asked chiefly to be let alone. It would require a Spaniard of the future to say whether the Rivera re- gime was necessary and successful. It would be impossible for the opinion of a foreigner to take note of all the factors involved, orie of the most im- portant being the character of the Spanish people themselves. But it does seen to a foreigner that if under a monarchy there is to be a dictator then there ,should beeither no dicta. tor or no monarch. So the respon- sibility of what has happened in Spain would seetn to rest on the sloping, shrugging shoulders of Al- fonso, In his youth he was credited with liberalists, the theory having; been derived maybe from, a certain' iib liani in the !natter Oehattipagn6, Success° brings abil- ity to give comfort and happiness to loved ones.

But he seams to retain his popularity. Only the other day there was a burst of indignation because Rivera in retiring had asked the opinion of the chiefs of the army on the step he contemplated instead of consulting the king. He ignored Alfonso and Spaniards protested. Rivera came to power when it seem- ed that the existing political machin- ery was powerless to grapple with the problems of the day. There were huge strikes that threatened to verge on civil war. Catalonia was openly talk- ing about seceding and establishing itself as a republic. In Morocco mili- tary disaster followed scandal and scandal followed military disaster. The Cortes was split into so many groups that united action was impos- sible. Into this, confusion leaped Rivera, the soldier, wit} the full authority of the king. Tie dissolved the Cortes, sent soldiers to settle strikes and disarm Catalonia. He went to Morocco and shortened the menaced Spanish lines to such good effect that disasters ceased and Spain was able to carry on the war until it ended upon honorable terms. For this service at least Rivera deserved well of his country. He put an end to the intolerable drain upon the young manhood and the gold of the country. There being no longer po- litical debates and intrigues to occu- py the attention of the people they turned again to their bullfights and their business. Had Rivera resigned at this mom- ent he would have .been remembered as one of the heroes of Spanish his- tory. But he found peace more dif- ficult to deal with than vttar. He seem- ed to lack those constructive ideas in which Mussolini is fertile. Instead, he issued large promisest of great things about to be undertaken. Only a year ago he announced the changes of tremendous importance were about to take place. There were no chang- es, except for the steadily lessening confidence of the army and the king. Rivera spent a lot of money and much of it will prove fruitful. He built railways, improved roads and in- vested huge sums in the development of electrical energy. But to get the money he had to increase the debt and as the debt increased, so did the interest and naturally the taxes. It became plain even in the absence of parliamentary debates and newspaper criticism that the dictatorship was costing a lot of money. The peseta continued to fall. The intellectuals continued to murmur. Here and.,there was some very plain speaking indeed. For instance, the new dictator Ber- enguer, in 1924, was condemned to six months' imprisonment because he at- tended a dinner at which a former po- litical leader spoke harshly of Rivera. Just when Rivera began to slip is not easy to say. Nor is the cause of his downfall patent. To say that lie lost the support of the king and the army is only to invite the question. Why?

But perhaps it is sufficient to say that the Spaniards who love liberty, theoretically, as much as any other nation in the world, tired of the long suppression and realized that if there had been a time when the dictatorship was. nec- essary that time had passed and there old system should be revived. Ber- enguer is pledged to restore the gov- ernment to the Cortes. The old ma- chinery will hardly be available im- mediately, and for awhile Berenguer may be a kind of dictator,, but not the kind that Rivera was. Spain ex- pects in a short time to have return- ed to the system whose collapse made Rivera #possible.
