there met him out of the city a cer

When lie saw Jesus, he cried out.

Thus LiiHiie, rt(he gr.eat .disciple, be

Christ Regain Hiis preaching upon
the shores of 4he Sea .of .Galilee .with
apemaum as ihead quarters. .-Then,
m the .second year of His ministry, he
undertook more extended missionary
prk, traveling from place to place.
And rfche twelve were with Him."'
Luke mentions three women by
aame (and gives .credit to others
Kieraj) Who ,of their -Bubstamce
inmistered iunto Christ and the Apos
tles .at this .time. One of these women
gas Many Magdalene, out of whom
He liad .past seven devils another
was the wife qf Herod'js steward; of
buBauna noithing is loLowin fieyond
the mention of lier name. They were
'women ,and rthey save of their sub
Btance fcwo facts which deserve &
ord in passing.
Christ was the emancipator of
woine. ahose wtho live in the United
Mates and see what women's posi
tion is today can hardly understand
'uj&ni'G
!aHi
fSHQS
;flhe world's former treatment of tho
"motihors of men."
,Pri m aPoatles wore mod, but
the New Testament has given to his
tory and to litorature the nnmes and
descriptions of a toumbor of women
who have exerted an incacula'ble in
fluence in the lifting ot woman from
a life of degradation to a place as
maus companion, oomrado, and
The name Mary w!ll never shine
amomg the names given to womon. It
was the name of the woman singled
out and given the supronie honor of
mothering the child Jesus. This name
was borne also by Mary, tho sistor
of Martha, and liy Mary Magdalono.
The heart oT woman scorned to re
spond to the teachings of Christ even
when men shouted, "Crucify him!"
His appeal was to the annftRinnnp n-nti
His call was to the doing of kind
aeetiB ana the showing of mercy.
Wherever Christ's, cosnol has hnnn
'carried it has brought lione in wnm-
lan; slie stands erect bonoath the ban
ner of the cross. Her advance though
sometimes slow, has been continuous,
and t'her'e will be no turning hack.
HOW MUCH WEALTH?
The women mentioned in todav's
text --proved their devotion by their
donations. Many Christian women
have -.consecrated their imoney to the
cause of Christ and, by doing so have
proven the value of money when it is
the servant of the heart.
Sometimes the question is asked,
How much money can a Christian
ihave and yet remain if Christian?
The answer is easy. If the money
is made lionesty thaiis, if it repre-
fsents the value of .service rendered
to tsoe'ety a Christian, ican have any
amount of money so long as he as in
-command of the money that is, so
long as he is the .master und money
the servant.
Whenever money becomes the
master and man ds it servant. Chris
tianity is Impossible, no matter how
nonestly the man may liaye acduired
it.
Some may bp. afale to use more
money than others without yielding
tolits mastery, but wltetber the ;sum
possessed be much or little it must
be available for such -uses as the
lieart resires to make of it.
A little money may make a miser
of one whose heart 5ias not been
brought 4nto harmony with the spirit
All 1 - T-'l
oi ine jviaster ana wno nas no vision
of the coming of God's kingdom,
while .a,very large sum 'of money may
ihave no corroding influence upon
fone who finds a pleasure in fasten
ing the day When God's will will ne
:done on earth as it is done in neaven.
In recording the facts of this first
extended missionary ftour, Luke pre
sents some very important incidents
in Christ's life. There is given, for
example, one of the most TaluaDle of
Uhe many recorded parables spoken
iby Jesus.
In a very life-like way, Chrisirde
scribes the sower wiho "went out o
,sow liis seed.J' Commentators Who
give a description of the locality in
wliich the words were spoken reveal
the appropriateness of the classifica
tion made. Some of the seed fell by
the wayside, some upon a rock;
.other seed fell among the thorns,
while some fell on good ground.
In a sentence Christ brings before
Wia TionrPTR ITin .iTrmrvrta'nne of the
so'l into which ithe seed falls. The
seed that fell by the wayside was
partly trodden down and partly
picked up ny the fowls before it
could take root. That which fell up
on the rock awakened into life, but
did not mature because of lack of
moisture.
If .comparison .can oe made among
lessons of such great importance,
the thought presented in connection
with the seed falling among thorns
would seem to be .even more practi
cal' than the others. The eed that
