LESSON FOR NOV. 13, 1932 Lesson Topic -Making A Living. Lessen 'Passage—Amos 5:11-15; Luke 19:11-23. o Golden Text—Romans 12:11, The times of which Amos wrote were so evil that he says, "the prudent man shall keep silence." The . prophet calls them to repentance: --"Bate the evil; and. love the good, and establish judg-1 ment in the gate; it may be that the Lord Ood 4)1 hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph." Itev, C. Kingsley in his writings says of Amos that he Is specially the poor man's prophet, for he was a poor man I himself; not a courtier like IsolaNI or a sage like Daniel; but a herdsmar)And al gatherer of sycamore fruit in Telcos, hear Bethlehem, where he was born.

No wonder that the emooth priest Ariiazlalah begged him to begone and talk ha that nay eofrlewliere else.

Paul their messages, was popular, Luke 19:11-23— The Lord, Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem and his disciples thought their Master would set up his kingdom with temporal pomp and power et this time. .The Apostles had dreamed of sit- ting on hie' right hand and on his left inhis kingdom, enjoying ease after their present toil, and honor after the present contempt put, upon' them, and were pleasing hhemseives with this dream. But Christ points out to them that they have a great. work to do in which all the gifts and the advantages with which they, were endowed must be strenuously employed. They were to be traders for their absent Lord and Muter. They were to be a distinct, sacred company, a band dedicated to the service of God whose business it was, 1n the absened of, r their Master, to attend to th* things at hie kingdom, on earth. Rs Mid them that according to their faithfulness] would their reward be. There have been, even down to our own time, inanyy men trading for the Master. Chrietlans are a holy Priesthood earuestly endeaw oring to drsw men into the told of the thureh Universal, They are, in all ages, and In every society, as their Div- ine Bead and raundir at fleet desalt,. ed them, the leaven which is to go on leavening the lump, till. the whole be leavened. They will if truly Christian reckon no enertion, no privation, no sacrifice too great. They are debtors to all men in virtue of their debt to Christ, and can never pay more than they owe. They have received vast benefits front the Christian benefactors of distant lands and peat ages; they are bound to repay them to the men of their own time, and their own land, firsts and then to the children of distant regions, and the sone of future ages. They have re' ceived a message full of grace and lore, and must overflow with it, so that it may flow on to other men. They have been touched with Are from heaven, and must be a burning and shining light up- on earth. They are bound, like thele Great Teacher, to do their Father's business believing that: -- Life is real! life is earnest! And the grave is not 119 goal!" WORLD MISSIONS A Scheel Herne Falsify Miss.
