Sooner or later you will need
the money which yau .are
worthlessly spending from
time to time.
Worry makes the hair gray,

A savings account will eli
minate worry and keep you
young.

You are as young as your

BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON
January 11, 1925.
By M S. Brigga
"Heal Christian Living"
Golden Text: "In as much a? ye
did it unto one of these my breth
ren, even these least, ye did it unto
ne.'- Matt. 23:40.
Lecson Text: "But when the Son
of Man shall come in his glory and
all the angels with Him. then shall
he set on the throne of his glory;
And before Him shajl he gathered
all the nations: and he shall sepa
rate them one from the other, as the
shepherd separateth the sheep from
the goats; and He shall set the
sheep on the right hand, but the
goats on the left. Then shall the
king say unto them on the right
hand. Come ye blessed of my Father
inherit the kingdom prepared for
you frrm the foundation of the
world, for I was hungry' and you
give me to eat; I was thirsty and ye
give me drink; J wasa stranger and
ye took me in; naked and ye clothed
rae; I was sick and ye visited me. I
was in prison and ye eame unto me.
Then shall the righteous answer him
saying. Lord, when saw we thee
hungry and fed thee? or athirst and
gave thee drink? And when saw we
thee a stranger and took thee in?
or naked and clothed thee? and when
3aw we thee sick or in prison and
came unto thee? And the king shall
answeiyand say unto them. Verily I
say unto you. Inasmuch as ye did it
unto one of these my brethren, even
these- least, ye did it onto me. Then
shall he say unto them on the left
hand. Depart from me ye cursed, in
to the eternal fire which is prepared
for the devil and his angels; for I
was hunprry and you did not give me
to eat; I was thirsty and ye give me
no drink; I was a stranger and ye
took me not in: naked and ye cloth
ed me not; sick and in prison and
ye visited me not. Then shall they
also answer, saying. Lord, where saw
we thee hungry or athirst, or a
stranger, or naked, or sick, or in

Read in this connection, Matthew
25th chapter, Ecclesiastes chapter
12, 13, 14; Matthew chapters 16,
(27; Luke 4:16-22. The merest of
'Oiears as will run a place as is in
the Holy Land, overlooked the coun-
t through w'hieh the Jordan river
flfJwed. Tne city ot Jerusalem and
the valley of the brook Kidron. On
this mountain was Bethany, the
home of Lazarus, Martha and Mary.
As Jesus with his disciples was ap
proaching Jerusalem arriving at the
Mount of Alias, he pronounced the
, text of this lesson, called by some a
; parable, but in reality an absolute
; eternal attitude.
A minister, a circuit rider, as for
merly the preacher rode to his pas
toral charge on horseback, met a
small hoy Sunday mornins with fish
pail and asking him where he was
going received the answer: "Goin
fishin'." Do yau not know it is
wrong to fish on Sunday, which pre-
cipitated a discussion and the min-
ister asked: Is your father a Chris-
tian? Sure thing, said the lad, but
he is not working at it now.
The fact there are many nominal
Christians and we wish to be under- 1 nave ior me greater part oi tneir
stood to say nominal, for in reality life have made their home here in
they are not the real sort. For if j Cass county where they cere num
we understand anvthing from the i bered among the makers of the coun-
lesson for this week we understand
that the Christian must work at it
or he is no Christian, for as often as
ye do it unto the least of these, my
brethren, you are doing it unto mo,
and when we fail to do it unto the
fellow who needs our help we have
failed in measuring up to the full
stature of a real Christian. This
leseon in conjunction with the story
of the Good Samaritan enforced the
fact that one cannot just be a nom
inal Christian but must be a real,
honest Christian and working at the
eternal certitude which separates the
true Christian or the sheep of the
fiock from the goats or the pretend
ers, is a judgment which in its ef
fect ehould make a person an hon
est Christian for there is no other
way that one may obtain eternal life
except the belief in Jesus Chrit. the
Son of God, which literally means
that one must be a real follower of
the Master and a doer of the work
which he requires. One might have
his name on the church books, be a
preacher, a superintendent of the
Bible school or a teacher in the
Bible school and unless he shall be a
follower of the Christ and does the
thing required. One may do the
things required and just for the pur
pose of escaping condemnation, but
not with the spirit of leve for the
Master and his brother it will avail
him nothing. Unless the one who
needs our pasigfance is of our set. we
feci we are not called upon to even
as much as recognize them let alone
come ' to their assistance. Christ
taught in his story of the Good Sa
maritan that the one was our neigh
bor who had mercy on us. The Sa
maritan relieved the one robbed and
left for dead not because he was a
Samaritan for many Samaritans
would not have done as he did.
The modern priest and Levite
ehould he find one along the high
way as we go through the country
or along the highway of life would
step on the gas, leaving the way
farer to the mercy of what ever
might come. We say that there is
danger of stopping plong the high
way to offer assistance for it might
be a ruse to get one to stop in order
that they might rob the one stop
ping. Granted in many cases it may
be true.
So along the highway of life we
pass the one bj- who are needing our
assistance, because we are looking
for tome show of evidence which
would allow us to kid ourselves into
a belief that we are justified in pass
ing up a just proposition.
When the Master came to earth
and in order that He might be giv
ing His life to save a sinful, sick,
dying and rebellious people. He was
not looking for an alibi, but was
here to do the thing for which the
Father sent Him no matter how
great the sacrifice.
It is not an alibi, but the real do
ing of the will of the Master and giv
ing the service of love, except ye
forsake brother, mother, sister or
father, and friends you cannot be my
disciple.
We are saved for one puroose and
that is for service. The farmer saves
seed corn that will grow, not Just
because it looks good, but it must
grow, must produce results. So must
the real Christian; he must be a
worker not just to get under the w
worker. Just to get under the wire
is not enough; yoa must be a real
worker in the vineyard of the Lord.
