Sunday, February 18th
"Jesus Teaching by Parables
the Growth of the Kingdom'
Mark 4:21-34.
The purpose of this" lesson is to
show us the growth of Christ's king
dom, and our growth in knowledge
concerning God, Christ, heaven, the
Bible and obedience to God's will.
Further to teach and inspire JesrusV
disciples and encourage them, with
a view of the great things that may
be accomplished by the weak and
lowly, such as his followers seem to
themselves to be, if they were obey
ing the command of their omnipo
tent Lord.
We examine first a few important
sayings of our Lord. "The shining
lamp." The purpose of the lamp is
to di?pel darkness. When Jesus en
ters into the life of a man, he dis
pels darkness, ignorance; then man
becomes a light bearer, to others.
"Ye are the light of the world; let
your light so shine before men, that
they may see j'our good works and
glorify your Father which is in
heaven." Matt. 5:14-16. Not all pro
fessed Christians are an honor to
their profession; they do not "shine
as lights in the world." Phil. 2:15.
An infidel became a Christian. "What
wrought the change?" someone ask
ed. "One argument I could never
meet, and that was the consistent life
of my Father." All the mysteries of
the kingdom will be made clear.
"What I do thou knowest not now,
but thou sha.1 know hereafter." John
13:7. So will all the acts and
thoughts of men be made manifest,
revealed to the gaze of all the world.
"And the books were opened; and the
dead were judged out of those things
which were written in the books."
Rev. 20:12. God is a good bookkeep
er, see Mai. S:1C. The solemn in
junction is repeated in the Bible 1,
178 times; it is very important that
men hear. Two ears, one tongue,
hear twice as much as you speak.
"Thou take heed of what ye hear."
How careful must the teacher be,
what he teaches. It is not really by
the eye we see; it is really by the
scul we see. And it i3 not by the
ear we hear. It ia flideed by the
character we hear." For he that
hath, to him shall be given, and he
that hath not, from him shall be
taken away even that he hath."
Upon use depends existence. Tish
in Mammoth cave have no eyes; man
on islands or in prison alone for a
long time have lost the power of
Epeech. Neglect your God-given tal
ents, and you will lose them. The,
church is the training quarters, to
exercise our religious qualities. The
kingdom of God is the reign of God,
on the earth, in justice, .righteous-

operations of the farmer compare to
it, the sowing of seed in prepared
ground; then he forgets about it,
leaves it to the elements, the rest of
the process belongs to God. What
more can a teacher do, than plant
the seed!
Note here natura's process: tfce
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Young were
in Plattsmouth Saturday in regard
to Cass county Red Cross distribu
tion of clothing.
Harry Todd who has been so ser
iously sick was able to be in Mur
ray Saturday, much to the satisfac
tion of his friends.
Ira B. Green, the contractor for
the Mrs. Hanni house, was a visitor
at his home at Randolph, Iowa, for
over the week end.
Miss Alice Dill spent the week end
with her friend, Miss Florence Lan
caster, the young ladies enjoying a
very pleasant visit.
The flock of sheep of Earl Lancas
ter has twenty lam'us at this time
and the flock of Tom Tilson has nine
teen. All doing well.
Wm. Patterson was a visitor in
Plattsmouth for the afternoon on last
Tuesday where he was looking after
some business matters.
Little Mary Catherine Sporer, the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin
Sporer, was celebrating her fifth
birthday on last Tuesday.
David Lancaster who has been sick
for the past two weeks, still remains
confined to his bed and is not feeling
very good, but rather poorly.
Lee Nickles of Plattsmouth was a
visitor here on last Tuesday and was
looking after some business matters
and visiting with his friends.
Gussie Brubacher was looking af
ter come business matters in Tlatts
mcuth for the day on last Tuesday,
and also was visiting with friends.

blade, the ear, then the gTain, then
the harvest. A continuous develop
ment. The Christian's life must show
growth; "growing in gTace," "for
getting things that are behind." At
first growth is invisible:
"How awful is the thought of
the wonders underground,
Of the mystic changes wrought in
silent dark profound;
How each thing is upward tend
ing by necessity decreed.
And the world support depending
on the shooting of a seed."
The seed makes subjects, that is
the blade, they increase, and the
grain i3 in the ear; they form Chris
tian societies and create a Christian
atmosphere, that is the harvest.
All this was potentially in the
ceed; the multitudes which no man
can number were present by prophecy
and purpose in the incarnation.
Science is no nearer in solving the
mysteries of the origin of life, than
it was ages ago. The secret of life,
thus far at least, has been held close
ly in the counsels of ommiscience.
There will come a time when the
Lord will gather up al! the results of
our life on earth; may we have a
goodly harvest to gladden His heart
in that day! The mustard seed, the
smallest seed known to the Jews in
that day. The small beginning of
the Kingdom is here portrayed. So
was the Kingdom of Jesus Christ;
but watch it grow. Jesus alone, then
twelve disciples, unlearned men, of
the common people. At pentecost we
find 120 in a prayer service; before
the day ends the numbor has in
creased to 3,000. Just a few weeks
later there were 5.000; since then by
leaps and bounds the number has
grown, that today one third of man
on earth are enrolled under His ban
ner. Men often get impatient about the
slowness cf its growtlf. Let us not
forget that the Kingdom of God is to
endure forever; hence we liken it to
the growth of an oak. A mushroon
will grow over night, it takes a hun
dred years for the oak. Many of the
great movements of the Christian era
had small beginnings. A scripture
text caught the eye of a German
monk and the reformation wa3 born
(Martin Luther.) Methodism was
born in that Oxford prayer meeting, j
and John and Charles Wesley became
immortal. A single word from an un
known friend, the mustard ceed, the
tree, John B. Gough, rescued from a
drunkard's grave to become the
greatest apostle of temperance in the ;
nineteenth century.
There is much in this parable to
encourage ChrisTian workers, if the
beginning is small, there is a poten
tiality in every soul, that by the
grace of God can become a power for
God. Soul of Tarsus is an example.
D. L. Moody, this great layman
preacher, a store clerk, when filled
with the Holy Ghost, led thousands

be read by all men.

I love that tree on the hill
crest.
It has stood through" many a
storm.
It has a place beneath its
branches to rest,
As we construct our thoughts
into form.
How rustic it looks in the win
ter, As the north-winds sweep thru
its bows,
Free from the effects of the
sinster,
We are grateful for the whys
and hows.
The moss covered seats that
stand near.
All covered with snow just
now,
But a few more days of sun
shine will clear.
The earth I most certainly al
low. When oft through the forest I
wander,
And jaded and worn I return.
It reaches out its branches as
I ponder.
O'er the things I should always
spurn.
When the morning sun flashes
its searchlight.
O'er valley and hills so grand,
That sentinel oak still shows
its height.
And extends to the wayfarer its
hand,
O thou giant of the hillside.
When empcEts sweep over the
land.
May you ever be spared to
override
And faithfully continued to
stand.
When the storms of life cease
to blow,
And the wanderer seeks a rest,
May he find that place all
aglow.
Serene within his breast.
