There is another class of wise
-iiys in and around Plattsmouth
who have still a better thinp than
the Omaha buyers. These are Hit
mail order house customers.
There are hundreds of persons in
(la-s county who look upon their
mail order catalopues with more
veneration than fhev rlo tli;ir
bibles. In this class, of course,
are included the pold brick and
preen poods purchasers, the cute
per-.. ns who want somelhinp for

tised in a mail order publication
that a Chicago concern is anxious
to sell an "all wool suit, a fancy
vest, an extra pair of trousers and
a suit case for en dollars" they
feel that it is their time to invest
and save a lot of money. What

It is saiil that about thirty years
apo a man named Sears, at the
time a railroad telepraph operator
in a small Indiana town, fipured
out a plan to start a mail order
business that he could handle
durinp idle hours from his work.
He boupht some filled case
watches, and with these Ihe pres.

f.o bepan. Ten or twelve years
apo I he business w as capitalized

hupe dividends on that amount
ever since. The present president
of Sears. Roebuck & Co. is named
Julius Rosenwald, and anyone
ouphf fo be able to fipure out how
much the best he would b able
to pet out of a man of that name.
A short time since Mr. Rosenwald j
made his re! urn for an income tax

of the many inieicsted in thi

Tht Pastor hepran his discourse wirh
th;; statement that there is only one
Aay by which to get rid of one's sins

111 ere intellectual belief, tie declared,
does not accomplish this result. The
Bihle says that devils believe, and
tremble. They are v-t justified by
their believing. Neither are we justi
fied by merely beliovin;.;. We must do
something: more. The lieliever who
: acts on his belief, and who shows that
I he really means what lie says, will
make a full consecration of himself to
God. From the standpoint of the
Scriptures a believer is a disciple, a
follower, a pupil.
The Tasror wept on to demonstrate
that the School of Christ is not open to
everybody. The whole world cf man
kind are not in the School of Christ.

which Ho has mada for us. and fc-y tie
opportunities which He frlres us. Ail
these things are desijmed by tna Tid
to bless ns and to develop us icto Ills
own character-likeness, that, as the
Master has said, we may be like unto
our Father in Heaven that we may
be holy, even as He is holy that our
intentions, our aims and our desires
may be exactly like those of God.
The Primary Lesson.
The Pastor reminded his audience
that when a child enters school for the
firs time, he has merely put himself
Into the hands of his teacher for in
struction. It requires years of patient
training and study before he can be
said to have an education, and still
mere instruction before he can become
a teacher himself. This, he said, is ex
actly the picture whic h Gtd pives us in
refpect to the Church. During this
Gospel Age He has invited the Church
class to enter the School of Christ and
prepare for the preat work of human
uplift during the incoming Age.
The Itoysil Priesthood will all be
Teachers. Under the Jewish arrange
ment the priests were all teachers, in
structors of the people, helping them
In every way in respect to morals. The
I'oyal Priests will also have authority
to rule the world for Its good. Xone
but those whom God can entrust with
this great power will be quaiiGed to
use it to uplift the world.
The Pastor then explained that those
enrolled in the School of Christ are
taught a great variety of lessons. The
first of these is meekness teachable
cess. None will be qualified for the
great work of the future who has not
been thoroughly taught this valuable
lesson. lie declared that there is prob
ably a greater lack along the line of
teachableness than along any other
line. Self-conceit and self-will are
qualities which prevent their posses
sors from being teachable meek.
Those who are good pupils La the
School of Christ will hear the Master's
voice instructing them that of them
selves they are nothing and can do
nothing; that they need Ill's assistance
all along the way; that they need first
of all to be taught of God through
the sreat Teacher vrhozz the Father
has appointed to srive them instm-
tion. Through the prophecies and
through nis Word lie teaches ail who
are in His School. The voice of Jesus
comes to all His pupils, speaking to
them through the Scriptures and the
various experiences of life.
Those consecrated children of Gcd
who have not learned the lesson of
meekness have not learned even the
primary lesson. Whoever says. Lord.
1 want my own way; this is what 1
prefer and what I intend to have," is
certainly not teachable, and cannot
make progress in spiritual things. The
Lord will net force such to do His
way; during this Age He is not seek
ing those who must be forced to do His
will. He will use force on those who
need it during the next Age.
Throughout the Gospel Age the call
has been for those who declare in their
covenant that they desire to do the will
of God. and who will sacrifice their
lives in order to do that will. After
they have made this contract with
Ilim. and He has accepted them and
sealed the contract by giving them the
earnest of the Holy Spirit, they cannot
repudiate their agreement. They must
either go on to everlasting life or per
ish in the Second Death.
OlHor Lecaors to Be Learned.
The Pastor dwelt for some time upon
the subject of meekness. Some people,
lie declared, find this a dillicult lesson
to learn. But things are pretty well
balanced. The man who is naturally
very meek and teachable usually has
disadvantages in other ways. People
will impose upon him; for they are apt
to impose upon the meek, as we all
know. The man with a great deal of
self-esteem and only a little meekness
will get along better by himself, but
will have his difficulty in coming un
der the Land of the Lord. The speak
er reminded his hearers that they can
iiot alter the shape of their heads.
These who were born with a proud
spirit have so much more to battle
against. Those who were born with a
humble mind will have difficulties
along other lines, but will find it easier
to learn meekness than will the proud
spirited. But since the Lord puts
meekness first, no one will make prog
ress in the School of Christ until he
has learned to be meek; for meekness
signifies teachableness.
The Pastor then went on to the other
subjects taught in this unique School,
Next in order come humility, gentle
ness, patience, long-suffering and brotherly-kindness.
Gentleness is very im
portant. Whoever is rude and bois
terous will not be ready to learn, and
therefore will not be in a proper condi
tion to be used of the Lord until he
has learned brotherly-kindness, until he
can be kind to all the lrethren and
love theni all. He must be gentle to
ward all so as not to offend or hurt
them cr -stumble them. Whoever is
gentle will alwr.ys desire to be assist
ful to the brethren; this is character
istic of the Spirit of the Lord. Who
ever is devoid of these qualities which
go to make up Love must acquire them
if he would be graduated from the
School of Christ.
Then, lest any one should be discour
aged, the Taster explained that the
flesh of some who are really overcom
ers may never become as gentle as
that of others who naturally possess
this desirable quality, but that they
must have this quality In the mind or
will; for the Lord will judge them by
their desires, their endeavors, their ef
forts. Whoever will be of the King
dom class must be meek and gentle, j
no mutter what he may be according
to the flesh.
How These Lessons Are Learned.
The Pastor Illustrated the methods
by which the Master tenches His pu
p:is to ajue the?e essential graces
of the Hi j. SpLdt. If a disciple of Je
sus do scathitii? wrong, the Master
expects mai to le meek enoairh to go
to the person injured and acknowledge
that he is wrong. This discipline will
be good for the unruly pupil, and will
help him to be more meek the next
time he is tempted. If a follower of
the Lord has !cen rude in some re
spects, he should offer suitable apolo
gies. This will teach him to be more
gentle In the future.
So by their difficulties the pupils in
the School of Christ learn the required
lessons. If they cannot learn in one
way. they must try another; for learn
they must. Otherwise they will not be
fit for the Kingdom: for these are qual
ities of heart and mind which the Lord
demands from all who would be ac
ceptable to Ilim. If the Lord find
that the pupil's mind Is meek, humble,
gentle, patient, kind and loving. He
will make allowance for the faults of
the body; and in the resurrection He
will give that pupil a body which will
carry out the Intentions of the mind.
The Pasoor urged all who know
themselves to be disciples of Jesus,
pupils in the fre.it Teacher's School,
to keep their hearts right with God
and then to do the very best that they
can do. lie advised such to see to it
that the body gets the proper disci
pline. The new mind must keep the
body under control. If it was 'rude to
somebody, humble it, teach it to 1k
meek by saying. "Von must go and
tell that person that you are sorry for
what you have done." Of course, he
declared, this will go "against the
grain;" but It Is better to yield and
thus learn the needed lesson than to
lose the Kingdom. All such self-discipline
is part of the process of prepara
tion for the Kingdom work.
The standard of character-deveiop-
ment which the Pastor upholds is very
high. lie declared that whoever would
be graduated with honors from the
School of Christ must be so meek, so
humble, so teachable, so patient, that
he will be ready to receive instruction
from the Master in whatever way lie
may see fit to send it whether
through trials, difficulties, sickt-ess.
j etc- or through books, hymns, or
any other way. No matter how
I comes, if it brin
us "the lignt or the
knowledge of the glory of God," ir it
scatters our darkness, ignorance, su-
perstition. if it brings us out Into His
marvelous Light, we may be sure that
God has done it for us, because we
could not have done it for ourselves.
Commencement Day Is Coming.
The Fastor then showed that ulti
mately two classes will be graduated
from the School of ChrisL One class
will receive very high honors glory.
immortality, loint-heirship with our
Lord Jesus Christ in His Millennial "f fas county, subject to the de
Kingdom. The other class will be cision of the republican voters at
servants of God and will serve Him
by rendering assistance to the King-
dom class. Under another figure these
classes are designated in Psalm 45 as
"the King's daughter" and "the vir
gins, her companions, that follow her.
The speaker next showed why there
are to be these two classes and what
has made the difference between them.
The first class is constituted of those
pupils that are so intent upon learning
their lessons and of being graduated
with honors that they not only study
carefully their text book, the Word of
God. but they watch the Lord's eye. as
it were, bent upon seeing what Is His
will concerning them. To these He
has given the precious promise. "I will
guide thee with Mine eye." Their re
ply is, "As the eyes of servants look
unto the hand of their masters, and as
the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of
her mistress, so our eyes wait upon the
Lord our God, until that lie have mer
cy upon us." Fsalm 12.1:2
The thought is that this class are all
attention to see what they can render
to the Lord, watching to see what He
wishes them to do
They do not wait
until He disciplines them severely.
This Little Flock class will be com
posed of such as can be guided by the
will of the Lord, such as are so anx
ious to do His will, so alert, so will
ing. to do anything they can do at
any time He may choose, as to be
"instant in season, out of season," to
themselves. Those who possess this
spirit will be of the first class to be
graduated from the School of ChrisL
The second class to be graduated will
he verv l.irco In niimler. the Pastor
said. It will consist of those pupils
who are rather slow, and who busy
themselves with unimportant things.
In figurative language, they are Inclin
ed to play during study hours and to
forget the rules. Yet they are neither
bad nor unruly. They are well-intentioned
pupils, but somehow they do not
properly study their lessons. They are
inclined to study a little, then play a
little, then study a little more, etc,
Theso pupils require to be "kept in'
after school frequently, and occasion
ally need a little switching. But they
finally finish their course and are grad
uated.
Dropping the figure of the school
room, the Pastor discussed this second
class for a time. These, he declared.
will not be on the Throne, as will the
Little Flock class. Instead of wearing
golden crowns, this Great Company
will have palm branches in tneir nanas;
instead of receiving the Divine nature.
they will be of a spirit nature like unto

verv blessed, for anything which the
Master has to give will be good.
This class, the speaker said, will be
composed of very good people, well-
meaning people; but they are not up
to the standard which the Lord desires
for the Kingdom class. Whoever
tfould be of the highest class should
see to It that he reaches that standard.
Those who will get the first place are
those who catch the spirit of the Mas
ter and are loyal to Him and His
cause, thus proving themselves to be
worthy of His love. As He has said,
"He that loveth father or mother more
than Lie Is not worthy of Me. And he
that taketh not his cross and followeth
after Me, is not worthy of Ma"
After Commencement What?
The Pastor then declared that ac
cording to the Scriptures we are on the
eve of a great change of dispensation,
that the One who redeemed the world
is about to take His great power and
reign. Those pupils in the School of
Christ who are most attentive to the
Master's voice speaking through the
Word of God are hearing wonderful
things pertaining to God's Tlan of sal
vatien. Those who are obedient to
what they hear are getting a clearer
understanding in proportion to their
obedience. Those who are inattentive
and those who refuse to hear will not
understand, but will surely suffer In
the coming Time of Trouble "such as
never was since there was a nation";
"no, nor ever shall be." as Jesus said.
By way of conclusion, the Pastor
exhorted all consecrated Christians to
greater earnestness in striving
to
make their calling and election sure.
He reminded such that they were not
called merely to make a consecration,
but to enter the School of Christ, to
learn of the Master, to be taught by
Him, in order to be developed In heart
and mind and in every way qualified
to be with the Lord and to share with
Him in His glory, honor and Immor
tality.
To accomplish this result, they must
receive chiseling and polishing blow
after blow, experience after experi
ence, trial after trial. To all who are
rightly exercised by thi3 discipline the
blessed result will be character-like-
ness to our dear Redeemer, who as a
New Creature was also rfected by
all such who are faithful to their
Lord the experiences of life will de-
velorj meekness, centleness. patience. I
longsuffering, brotherly-kindness and
love. And thus, having finished their
course in the School of Christ, there
shall be ministered unto them an
abundant entrance into the everlast-
Ing Kingdom of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ. I
