Parables of Jesus IV
Growth of Peed Mark 4:26-29.
Our attention in this parable is
drawn, not so much to the secret in
visible energy of the seed, or de
vine word, as to th earth into which
the seed falls, i. e. the moral and
spiritual nature of man. Trie seed of
Christianity will grow, because the
soil into which it will fall is suit
able to nourish. Fertulliau says:
"The human soul is naturally chris
tian, and Christianity is natural re
ligion." Christianity can therefore
prcpagatf itself without human ef
fort, and often does so. Verse 26 il
lustrates the Kingdom of God in its
external aspects: Verse 27 in its se
cret development: men often lose
sight of this fact, that there is a seed
time and a harvest .mie. and there
is a time for growth, when men sleep,
i. e. they give no heed to the seed,
they wait pa'iently for the seed to
mature into ripe grain.
Here is a lesson for the church to
learn. Many churches set a time for
a revival, or ingathering of grain,
regardless of the condition of the
church, the Evangelist is engaged for
so mt'"h money, fnr po many davs'
work, usually ten days, (why ten
days? i he is expected to perforin the
miracle of gathering in converts,
when nobody can see where they are
to come from. There is no ripening
grain in sight: but the church ex
pects a harvest, because tiiey pay a
man to perform the impossible and
the disappointment is great, when no
converts are made.
This parable teaches us. that v. hen
"a man" has sown the seed, in well
prepared soil: having performed his
work faithfully, to give the seed a
chance to develop, trusting God to
give the increase and not to force tin
sickle to cut the grain, until it is
ripe. If the minister has done his
part, he is to go and pursue his or
dinary employment without due anx
iety. Visible results may be slow,
but the seed is sure to germinate be
cause the soul of man is especially
fitted by God to receive it. Christ
does not, however, discourage due
pastoral care. Though the earth
brings forth "of herself." this does
not exclude due cultivation, and rail:
from heaveti and sunshine. In thes
socalled. arranged revival meetings,
is much unripe frui; gathered, con
verts acclaimed, that never repented,
were not regenerated, have not the
witness of the Spirit, hence they have
no life in them, and seldom are found
in the prayer service and Sunday wor
ship: they cannot pray in public, be
cause they never learned, they cannot
testify, because they have no exper
ience. The master tells us here, the na
tural ways of the Kingdom of God.
but man tries to carry on in his own
way. whenever it suits him. and tiien
tries to compel God to bend to man's
will. That is why so many efforts
are fruitless. If the church through
its ministry will do her part faith
fully in preparing the soil, then sow
the seed with tears, then ihey shall
reap with joy. Ps. 125.5. The har
vest is an earthly harvest. It is ga
thered in christian lands, when a
faithful pastor after long waiting
gathers in a harvest of true penitents
and genuine servants of Christ. It
is gathered i:i heathen lands when
the hindrances of the Gospel are at
last rumored, and the people ask for
baptism.
"Tho sown in tears thro weary years.
The seed will surlv live:
Tho great the cost, it is not lost
For God will fruitage give."
Next week. "Grain of Mustard
Seed."

Succeeds the Old Commercial Club
that Has Been Inactive Much
Interest in New Project
Let's say good bye to the old and
welcome to the new. The old Louis
ville Commercial club after so many
' years' service to the public has dwin
j died away and is now at rest. Its
I service to the town in years gone by
will not soon be forgotten. Like so
many once flourishing enterprises,
however, it bad been inactive for
orne time and it seemed impossible
to revive it.
Appreciating the need of some kind
of an organization that would keep
abreast of the times and boost for
growing Louisville there was organ
ized in Louisville a Chamber of Com
merce on Thursday niht of last week
with officers as follows:
W. H. Joern. president; Alex Geist.
vice president; W. E. Diers, secretary
treasurer. Membership committees were ap
pointed and it is said that they will
show at their next meeting the larg
est membership of any like organiza
tion ever. The next meeting will be
held on Friday evening. March 20th.
at 8 o'clock.
It will be noticed that the officers
of the new organization are young
men. This is a sign of progress when
the younger men of the town become .
interested in civic affairs and it will
be to the interest of everyone who
wishes to see Louisville flourish to
unite with the t hamiier ni c ommerce

Thr Farmers Cr.ion of Cass coun
ty met in the Community Buildintr
at Elmwood, Monday night for their
.quarterly meeting. Quite, a large
.number of farmers attended, even
though the roads were almost im
passable. The meeting was called to order
by the County President, A. J. Roe
lofsfz. A short program was given con
sisting of community singing led by
Mrs. Wm. Strabel, with Lizzie Schaef
; er at the piano.
Mary Elizabeth Capwell of Fair
.view Local gave several readings in
her most pleasing manner.
They were entertained by a short
play entitled. "Squaring it with the
Boss." given by Mont Hope Local,
under the direction of Mrs. Wm.
Strabel. which was greatly enjoyed
by all. Those taking part in the play
were: Miss Lizzie Schaefer. Henry

sociations. Boob one enjoyed themselves an!

WORSE TttffN WAR!
During IS months of the World
war. 50.510 members of the Amer
ican Expeditionary Force were kill
ed in action or died of wounds.
During the Is months preceding
'January. 10."1. 5i,900 people were
killed in automobile accidents in this
country.
There could be no better illustra-
tion of the seriousness of the auto
mobile accident situation.
According to a survey by the Tra
velers Insurance Company, the lead-
ling cause of accidents in 1930 was
, failure to give right of way, which
accounted for l.r per cent of deaths
and 31.5 per cent of injuries. Second
was excessive speed, which was re
sponsible for 21 per cent of all acci
dents, and third, driving on the
wrong side of the road, which total
ed '16 per cent.
Higher speed is a natural result of
improved roads and cars. But the
; other two primary causes of acci
dents which together accounted for
1 27 per cent of deaths and 47.7 per
cent of injuries amount to simple
1 ignorance, recklessness or eareless
j ness. They show improper training
on the part of the motorist, coupled
with inadequate enforcement of traf
i fic laws. That such accidents could
! be at least partially curbed by exam
ining and licensing laws, and by ade
quate of modernized traffic codes, is
well within the limits of plausibility.
Every year complete and detailed
! resumes of the previous year's acci
I dent record are prepared. Study of
them should shou what enforcement
is needed, what can be accomplished.
A few states, in a period of rising
hazards, have managed to appreciably
decrease accidents within their bor
ders. All other stateg can do tho
same.
A scientist they are all scientists
when they make fool remarkB says
that in 50 years kissing will
be ob-
! solete. That may be why

The campaign to create a greater
interest in the beautifying of th
city is being responded to with much
: favor by the residents of the com
munity and already many are plan-
jning the landscaping oi the lot and
yards around their places of resi

sible t ri stage s general campaign of
co-operation in all parts of the city
, Suggestions and helpful hints on the
proper landscaping and planting of
shrubs, flowers and arrangments of
gardens are being given by the com
jmittees and which will aid the house-
holder in the arrangement of the
surroundings of the homes.
The use ot ?. few flowers and
shrubs can easily transform a neg
lected or unsightly spot into a place
of real beauty and charm and that
will make for the comfort and satis
faction of the property owner and
an unfailing delight to the passerby
and as well be a great advertisement
for the city.
Every property owner and resi
dent should join in co-operating with
the committee when the spring sea
son opens and whether they are prize
winners or not. they are winners in
making their property more attrac
tive and valuable to themselves and
the community.
