"The Christian as Teacher"
Matt. 7:24-29; Acts 1S:24-2S.
The teaching profession is the old
est profession in the world. God be
ing the first teacher; teaching the
lirst man to think, what would be an
appropriate name for all creatures;
than to express himself in words to
speak. (Gen. 2:19-20). e, ; ;
Man may follow teaching as a pro
fession, as a means to making a liv-

caring whether his work produces
any particular results putting in his
time and at the end of the month
draw his pay. Not so the Christian,

ing disciples of all men, but after
By L. Neitzel, Murdock. Neb.
tion is given us in the second part of
our lesson.
A Teacher in Training. Apollos of
Alexandria, a city of great renown,
on the north coast of Africa, where
many Jews lived and studied the O.
T. scriptures, came to Ephesus and his
eloquence and knowledge of the O. T.
scriptures and oratorical, powers made
a deep impression on his hearers
but he knows only the .scriptures to
the lime of John the Baptist. He done
the best he knew how. Many a teach
er in our Sunday schools is like thLs
man they have book learning, they
can "talk," they know the letter of
the scriptures but know only the bap
tism of John and lack the baptism of
ouls are won to the savior, they are i the HclJ' Spirit without this such
to bo taught his way. We are to
learn today some of the most import
nut principles of Christian teaching.
Every earnest, sincere Sunday school
teacher will go to the Master Teach
er for instruction and use his meth
ods, lie invites all his followers to
"Come unto me . . . and learn of me."
(Matt. 11:23, 29).
Having been in his school and
having learned our lesson, we are
then able to teach others, using his
methods. As we see the great teacher
clcsir.g the session on Mount Hattin,
lie winds up his discourse and sums
v.p all his teaching in this uncompar-
auie sermon in the parable of the
two builders. When ended, the multi
tude was astonished at his teaching,
b3cau.se he taught them different
fror.i the "professionals," a3 having
authority, not referring to traditions,
as the Scribes.
The teaching of the two builders.
"Every disciple of Christ is an archi
tect. Every hearer of the truth is a
builder of some sort. We are build
ing, all of us, whether we will or no,
for time and for eternity. Great build
ings and monuments have been con
structed by men (name some or
them), but none are to be compared
with the Saints named and unnamed
in every clime, to the characters of
Christ's worthy followers, who by
doing the v. orda of Jesus have at last
built the completed temple like the
pattern shown them in the mount."
(Rev. George Henry Hubbard).
- "Therefore" implies that the par
able which follows is an elucidation
of what precedes, the picture of "that
day" when the Lord will pass judg
ment upon the lives cf man. There
are only too many teachers who have
book learning that does not meet the
test of actual experience; who are un
fit to build character on rock, on a
foundation that will stand through
trials and severe testing times. How
can a teacher build on "Christ, the
Bolid rock," if he doesn't know him
by experience? (Read the comentary
on building. I Cor., ?.: 10-15).
Tho individual also has to ece to it
that he has- a good foundation, no su
perficiality in conversion, dig deep,
"nray through" until the soul can
sing, "On Christ the solid rock I
stand; all other ground 13 t inking j tho ideal teacher and preacher o
sand." A very remarkable illustra-j gospel.
teaching brings no results for the
Kingdom.
Priscilla and Aquilla are present
in the service. They soon discover the
lack of spiritual unction, the power
to convert, to lead men into the fel
lowship with Christ. They also note
that this man is a "chosen vessel" of
the Lord they see their duty to use
their God-given talent to teach this
man. They lead him from John the
Baptist to the Lamb of God to the
great redeemer, Jesus Christ.
Hree.we learn first that honesty
and sincerity of purpose is not suffi
cient qualification for a teacher; in
the second place that our teaching
must be in the demonstration of the
Spirit and with power; and in the
third place that we must be willing
to learn the better way, and that is
the way of experience. How anyone
can undertake to teach God's word
end know net God and is annoited
with the Holy Spirit, is beyod our
comprehension. What a power this
( man becomes as a preacher and teach
er we learn from Paul, who makes
Xiention of Apollos, placing him be
side himself: "I have planted, Apollos
watered." (I Cor. 3:6).
In this connection we must make
mention of the fact that Priscilla was
the leading teacher of this young
man. All through the history of the
Chrktian church, while men have
been the great preachers of the gos-
pel in the pulpits, women on the
wnoie nave led the way in Bible
teaching in the home and in the
church school.
Soon his power was noted and ac
knowledged, hi3 fame spread, he is
ready to seek larger fields Athens
and Corlr.th in southern Greece the
church cncourage.3 him in giving him
letters of introductio and great good

teaching is convincing. All Bible
teachers have much to learn from
Apollo3.
A summary of Apollos shows: He
studied tho scriptures ready to learn
from others, even those inferior to
himcclf in natural ability full of
energy and hoiy zeal combined logic
with grace believed thoroughly in
Christ and would impart this know

I Economists Aim
at Finding Work
for Six Million
Eecovery Hinges on Re-Employment

Washington, December 2. An esti
mate by important government econo
mists that ' Recovery will be largely
achieved with the re-employment of
six million workers, was being stud
fed by Donald R.'Richberg, the pres
ident's recovery co-ordinator. ' This
estimate, it was explained does not
mean that only six million are out
of work, or even that those already
at work are adequately employed, but
that this is the extent of the unem
ployment problem from the stand
point, of attaining a more or less nor-
ere and! mal economic situation.
.Admittedly .a statistical guess, the
estimate -is made in the face of cal
culations by non-gov&rnmental agen
cies showing as many .as 11 million
or as few as ,4 million; to 5 million
jobless. Rjchberg recently said it was
necessary for industry to find work
for 4 to 5 million. The figure takes
cn special significance in view of co
operative moves between governmen
and business based on the theory that
the government will cease many of
its activities when business recovery
.makes them unnecessary.
One government economist makes

will have a prominent part in the 'the private statement that 6 million

Putting Up Snow Fence
Albert Wallinger with a crew of

Teaching at Ericksoa
The Hoard of Education at Erick
so:i, where Mr3. Eelle Coakley taught
school for a number of years, know
ing that she was not teaching any
vhere this year, asked her to come
and teach there temporarily during
the illness of ono of their regular
teachers. Mrs. Coakley left for Erick-
con Monday and will remain there as
long as her services are needed. She
is one of the best of teachers, having
been engaged in this profession for
nearly twenty years.

Last week Eldcn Stark and little
son . went to Denver, Eldon driving
tho car cf Mrs. S. P. Lyle, who was
moving to the Colorado city. They
s-topped at :crth Platte for Thanks
giving dinner end after spending, a
short time in Denver returned home
on the train, arriving here Sunday
night.
persons who can and will work are
now jobless. He does not include
those cn public works projects, who
would bring the total to about 7 mil
lions. The pertinent question in all
this estimating is the amount of busi
ness recovery required before the
government feels it can withdraw
from emergency efforts.
Other things complicate the situa
tion even more". If a certain sum, say
$1,500, is taken as the required in
come cf an American family for it
to be a subsistence purchaser, then an
unknown number, certainly as large
as 20 million, are below average, and
their level will have to be raised be
fore they can properly be called em
ployed. Even were each family to
Jiave an income of $1,500, it prob
ably would net mean business recov
ery because there would be no ex
cess funds for luxury and semi-lux
uries. .
The recovery goal is thus difficult
for the experts to state. It appears
to the economists, however, that in
creates in individual income, regard
less oi the numbers employed, is a
major necessity.

As evidence cf thi3, witness the large
