(Jordon Journal:
l,nst evening at the City Hall oc
iiired the First Annual Firemen's
Hall ami It was attended by the larg
est crowd seen at an event of this
nature in years
The affair was given under the
auspices of the Flreinen-s Auxiliary
for the benetlt of the New Fire
Truck Fund and nearly 1200 00 was
realized as a result of this activity.
Lunch was served In the Council
roOBB from nine o'clock till the clos
ing hours and was a decided suc
cess. The hall was rather small for ttai
lane Crowd which was In attend
ance but nevertheless everyone who
wns there seemed to enjoy them
selves to 1he fullest extent.
This amount makes a handsome
showing on the new truck and it is
hoped that by spring nenrly the en
tire amount will have been realized
by events of this kind of entertain
ments. The next big event which the Fire
men will probably stage will be a
minstrel or some good comedy drama
and It will certainly be very gratify
ing to see the same progressive spir
it show that has been thus fnr.
LATER It has since been learned
that the amount taken in was $212.00

You nrobablv know very little of
the difficulties under which the lo
cal department handled tne conven
tion. The failure of York cast a
shadow of divided opinion that hung
over u threateningly tip until the
very opening of the convention, when
everything seemed to flevoioe into
a united effort and tne Nebraska
State Volunteer Firemen's Associa
tion held one of the most enthusiastic
and successful conventions ever held
With our efforts united solidly and
with plenty of publicity I have every
reason to believe that tne people of
the state of Nebraska will realize
more strongly than ever the true
value of otir association of volunteer
fire lighters and will look forward to
the 1919 convention with a feeling
of jealous envy toward the boys who
stand ready to defend the country's
reaources against the great destruc
tive element MRS.

believing comes through "hearing"
(Rem. 10:17). In this there Is n mis
sionary suggestion for our teachers.
but there Is also a caution as to what
nnd how we hear. "Take heed what
we hear." Many today are being swept
Into nil kinds of damning here
sies because they do not follow this
warning (2 Tim. 3 :1-13). Not only are
we to be good listeners, but we must
be doers as well (Jns. 1:22). This
parable of the lamp follows closely
upon the parable of the sower In
our last lesson. "God, who first cre
ated light, and Christ, in whom was
life, and the life was the light of
men," both together are one3 whom
we are equally obliged to see. nnd
hear nnd obey. To Impress the duty
of this seeing, hearing nnd using of
light upon his disciples, Jesus reminds
them of some fnmlllar things. A can

found only In Mark. Again the good
seed is referred to. but in this case
unseen growth receives the emphasis,
for the seed will spring and grow up,
though we know not how. It is com
forting to think that, if we sow the
it rue seed, it grows while we sleep
(v. 27.) The best selected seed (the
holy word) Is essential for results. All
of our seed must have this silent pe
riod for growth. It is the earth that
brings forth the fruit of herself
through the energies and powers with
which God endows It. These powers
are wonderful. We do not understand
them, but there is order and symmetry
in growth. First the blade, then the
ear, and after that the full corn in
the ear. Then is the harvest, the
purpose of the seed having been ac
complished. Mark alone gives us this
parable, and it is given in close rela
tion to the parable of the sower nnd
of the wheat and tares. Jesus is the
great harvester (v. 29), and knows the
right time to reap the grain, the mo
ment when it is "ripe" (v4 29 R. V.).
Then he putteth in the sickle.
(2) There is also a marvelous out
ward growth of the kingdom (vv. 30
82). There is the closest relation be
tween the parable of the mustard
seed and the two parables that pre
cede. In Matthew the parable of the
mustard seed is used in relation to the
kingdom of heaven, which Is the
soli. Te of the Christian profession.
Here it is used of the kingdom of
God, which Is spiritual. Why Is it used
of both? The explanation, according
to Doctor Scofleld, lies in the fact
that the kingdom of God In this age
and the kingdom of heaven have this
tn common, that from an Insignificant
beginning they had a rapid growth.
If the abnormal growth of this
common garden shrub illustrates di
vine increase, why is it not more glori
ous? There is not here anything
like the greatness of the Assyrian and
Babylonian empires. (Kzek. 31:3-6;
Dan. 4:20-22). Is the significance of
the birds good or evil? (ireat Baby
Ion, the figure of a professing Chits
tlsii body In guilty connection with
the kings of the earth, becomes "a
cage of every unclean and hate
ful bird" (Rev. 18:2). The "mixed"
condition of the kingdom of heaven has
brought together diverse elements of
good and bad.
