"Parables of the Kingdom"
Matt. 13:31-33, 44-52.
Our Lord adapted his teaching to
the capacity of hi3 hearers. This glor
ious thirteenth chapter of Matthew
is chiefly occupied with eight par
ables, of which we are to study the
lait sii. A parable is a little story
from natural life (not a fable) pic
turing some aspect of truth.
Our Lord took up this form of
preaching when the Scribes and
Pharisees began to oppose his direct
preaching. They could not find fault
with these little f-tcries, the applica
tion of which Christ left his hearers
t make. These parables were inter
esting and imbedded themselves in
the mind cf every hearer. Christ is i
the Master of this form of presenting j
truth. Nothing will attract the in-
tert-ot oT the mind like a story well j
t !.l; young and old will remember I
ilio story, although the sermon or
ether teaching is forgotten.
The parable of the mustard seed
tea' lies that even little children can
( o valuable work in the kingdom of
"heaven; that of the leaven, which
teaches the importance of influence;
ar.d those cf the hidden treasure and
the pearl, which teach the wisdom
r:id earnestness and sincerity of the
Christian life. V.'e will review the
six parables, ii order that we may
develop the great truths taught in
them, ar.d apply them in a practical
v.ay, in cur daily life.
I The parable of the mustard
rcc:1. All truth needs constant repe
tition and reviewing. There parables
rro all related to this one theme and
r.vc railed "the i arables cf the klng
U : ;," that is, the reign of rigliteous
r.ers. pea'.e and joy which Christ
came t:i establish on earth. "Like un
to a mustard scot" similar small
:v.U:t be sown by man, though il
rr.:r.c from heaven. Our work is very
slight (r,ic::t of the work is dene by
the tun and rain a.ul the chemical
fenes cf nature) but it is left to man
to ict the process o:i foot. Look at
the small beginning .Testis twelve
seventy one hundred twenty
thrca thousand five thousand to
day five hundred million the potent
factor of the growth U Christ in it.
II The parable of the leaven. A
little old sour t'ough, highly ferment
ing, will give the bread a sour taste.
The quantity of meal (see Gen. IS:
6) a regular family baking. Think of
the little lump of leaven and the
great Quantity cf meal. So the truth
in tho word cf God. One sermon like
Peter's at Pentecost, leavened a great
lump it wcrk3 so today. Noiseless,
quiet, unseen, works the leaven; so
the work of the S. S. teacher results
come in due time; it requires pati
ence; some times it will take years
for proper development and fruition
fcr the seed sown and the leaven to
accomplish its purpose. The work of
the Holy Spirit is secret and gradual.
We do not become fully developed quet for those that love God's king
Christians in a moment, any morejdom!

The world Is full of optimists, or
they wouldn't be sending out seed
catalogs for spring gardens.

The Indian language hasn't any
swear word3 in it. Well, how does a
Tammany brave express himself when
LaGuardia is mentioned?
:o:
Abraham Lincoln, at the age or
IS, had owned and read only seven
books. But seven books make a fire
background if they're the right
books.
:o:
If the nations ever aid decide to
beat the swords into plowshares they
would no doubt get into a war over
who would get the largest portion of
the plowshares.

The ssa monster, willed up on the
shore of France and reported to be
similar to the monster in Loch Ness,
Scotland, has turned out to be noth
ing but a bottle-nored whale. Thir
specimen is quite different from the
one in Loch Ness, which is said tc
bo chiefly identified by bottle-nosed
spectators.

women all at ence.
III The parable of the treasura.
In early history banks and deposit
vaults were unknown, treasures were
hid away, often lost when the person
who hid them died or forgot the de
tails of their hiding. Man seeking for
treasure, the hidden life with Christ
in Ood. is assured that be shall find.
"Seek and yc shall find." If the gos
pel were so obvious that no one could
miss it, the possession of it could be
nothing but a mockery. It is the hid
denr.ess that makes it priceless.
IV The parable of the pearl of
great price. Here is a man seeking
pearls goodly pearls. He was suc-
cessful and found one, a wonderful
g:m. The soul that seeks Christ and
his righteousness, if the proper effort
is put forth, will be rewarded like
Fhulamite in Songs of Solomon 3:4.
"I found him whom my soul loveth,
I hold him and will not let him go."
Only those "who have passed from
death unto life" can fully appreciate
and value the great joy and peace
that passeth understanding.
V The parable of the net. The
large operations of the kingdom of
Jieaven are here pictured. The gospel
is intended for all men. The gospel
nct is cast cut into the world and
all kinds of men are brought in.
"Come unto me all ye that labor."
The cress was raised on a hilltop,
and its arms stretched out in uni
versal appeal. It is not without sig
nificance that there was a traitor in
the apostolic circle "All kinds were
net kept," they sat down gathered
the good the bad they cast away.
Every church must have come mode
of discipline of self-cleansing. "In
times cf great revival man as far a3
possible to be sorted; and those who
are geed fcr spiritual life go into the
basket, while those who are merely
physically moved, those who are
simply interested or who come in for
selfish purposes or gain are to be set
su!e." (Henry Ward Eeecher). So
shall it be in the end Gf the world.
The time cf iir.al judgment upon
sou!?. The angel.3 will do the sort
ing rut. All must pas3 muster, no
mistake will be made, they are mark
ed. Jesus says: "I will write upon
him my new name." (Rev. 3:12).
VI The paralel of the household
er. He will provide all the necessi
ties for these intrusted Into his care.
Here i3 the church with all her or
ganizations catering to the need3 of
eld and young. The old testament
'and the new. testament are searched
j fCr the food for hungry souls; and
bcth are sufficient to supply all their
needs. "O the depth of the riches,
both in wisdom and knowledge of
Gcd." (Rom. 11:33). The true shep
herd and teacher will provide a rich
terehcuse of God's bounty.
May this lesson prove a rich ban-
COUNSEL OF DESTRUCTION
An inquiry comes to The Daily
News in substance as follows:
"My income, as a result of the de
pression, has fallen to a point where
it is hard for me to get along. , I own
some improved real estate from
which, in better times, I had a liv
ing. Now the rents are down and I
find that one-fourth of my income is
taken by the taxes on my property.
To pay my taxe3 pinches me. To
pay my taxes has always been with
me a duty almo.it religious. It was
the sign' of my membership in a city,
state and nation which afforded me
freedom and a chance to direct my
own life. Not to pay this price of
my citizenship would have seemeu
the basest ingratitude.
"But now scramble for the money
to pay my tax and my neighbor
mere than one neignbor says to mo:
'Why pay your taxes? We don't pay
our taxes and nothing happens. No
body bothers us about it. We keep
cur property. We rpend our routs
for other things. The politicians are
afraid to maka us pay; they know
we will vote against thorn if they do.
Some day they'll say: "Let the past
be fcrgot. Let the back taxes be
wiped off the books. We're all vic
tims of hard times. Why try to
squeeze blood from a turnip?" They
will burn the old books then and any
body who has been fool enough to
pay his taxes will merely have thown
his money away.' "
So row. tho anxious inquirer say?,
What shall I do about my taxes? Am
I a patriotic citizen if I pay them; or
am I merely an easy mark, paying
my taxes while my smarter neighbors
pay none paying for them and for
myself?
The word goer- round that a good
many people are talking like this.
The state of Ohio and its subdivi
sions, having made taxpaying largely
a voluntary matter, have arrived at
this. What does it mean? Whither
does it lead?
After the war with its upsetting
of cur habitual ideas and ways we
had a collapse of moral vision which
eventuated in public graft and no
little private vice. The great d:pres
sion could not fail to have its equiv
alent moral effect. To this, perhap.-,
we ewe the crooked and ntdf-der.t rue
tie reasoning quoted above. A simple
way to judge of one's public con
duct is to consider what would hap
pen were the public conduct of all
to be like ours. . .
. If the people who; ctni ;tay taxes
do not were followed by ,'ul'l peopla
who can pay their taxes and do, the
property of no citizen, within 30
dayr, would be worth the paper the
deed is written on. It would be in
stantly without protection from fire
and violence. It is taxes which keep
crime and fire at bay. The commun
ity would be immediately without
schools. Nobody would want to re
main in such a barbarous place.
There would be no use for the prcp
erties which either taxpayers or non
taxpayers own.
The person who eitner practices or
preaches a tax strike is setting fire
to his own home, despoiling his own
family, wrecking his own city, coun
ty and state. People who do that are
apt to be accounted insane. Inciden
tally, the people of a county or state
who tolerate by their laxness in tax
collections, such folly on the part of
a minority or even a near majority,
are exercising a doubtly sanity them
selves. To be lenient with the un
fortunate who cannot pay is wise
and good. To tolerate the dilatoriness
of those who can pay and will not
is community suicide. Dayton News.

CAUSE OF SANKEY UH DOING
Chicago. The law caught up with
Verne Sankcy, notorious kidnaper,
because of a violation cf th.3 unwrit
ten code that gangjterr, and their
women friends never talk. Tho per
son who talked in the Sankcy case
was disclored as hi.-; sweetheart when
she put in a formal claim for reward
money offered for capture ar.d con
viction of tho outlaw. I T i3 sweet
heart, Helen Mattern, 28, was ar
rested in Sankey's flat shortly after
the kidnaper was reized.
Miss Mattcrn's claim for reward
money, however, revealed that it was
she who gave officers information
which brought about the outlaw's ar
rest. A half dozen others al:o pre
sented claim3 to J. B. Parriott, coun
ty attorney of Denver. Of the $23,
000 offered by the elder Eoettcher
for conviction of his son's kidnap3r3
$7,500 remains undistributed. Par
riott, P. S. Van Cise and R. Ii. Stern,
all of Denver, will apportion this
money.
A flood of bogus $5 and $10 bill3
is keeping federal agents on the jump
from coast to coast. We 6hould te
grateful for the federal agents who
go on the jump for bogus bills. The
rest of us have plenty to do keeping
on the jump fcr the gcod ones.
SEES A POSSIBILITY
OF FEDERAL BANKING
Raymond Moley gives private
bankers something to think about in
one cf his recent magazine articles.
Unless bankers develop more confi
dence in the country and more es
pecially in themselves, they may
force the federal government to take
them over, he says.
Molcy does not believe that would
be good for the country and not
many but all agreo with him. It
would not be to the best interests of
society to ctifie all individual initia
tive. Still, if individual initiative
refuse cr fail3 to function, something
mut be substituted for it and gov
ernment banking would be about the
only subititute in sight.
Moley sets forth "five situations
that challenge the permanency of in
dividualism and private ownership
in banking" as follows:
1. The absorption of banking re
sources by the financial necessities of
th2 new budget.
2. The movement of government
credit agencies into fields abandoned
by privately owned banks.
3. The limited supply cf the kind
cf banking asset upon which, it is
said, a sound banking system should
be built.
4. The recognition by political
forces cf tho fact that the control of
credit is the control of the nation.
5. The loss cf self-confidence by
bankers themselves.
It is a significant fact that the
II. F. C. already own3 about 12 per
cent of all outstanding bank stock
ar.d that ail but 600 million dollars
of the four billion dollars put out
by the R. F. C. has been loaned to
rcurccs that ordinarily would bor
row from banks. This usurpation, or
rather it is a surrender, of banking
functions is something for the banks
to think about.
In recent months bank functions
have been largely limited to accept
ing deposits and reinvesting them in
government securities. If that is to
be their sole function, the govern
ment may decide that such service
i?n't worth what it costs. Probably
that won't happen, but there is no
denying the drift of affairs in that
direction. Sioux City Tribune.

N02CDY IS TRYING
TO SZUZZLE THE PRESS
President Iloosevt-It -.t:l the
"newspaper code" along time on his
desk before !.ig;;ing it. It was placed
in his hand; alwut two months ago.
His final signature was accompanied
by a statement which raised new
questions. Good lawyers differed re
garding the l?gal effect of some of
the things stipulated by the presi
dent. But happily all doubts were
cleared up by the executive order is
sued on Saturday.
Quite a flurry was stirred up in
some quarters by what was held to
oe a niarnas allusion hy the presi
dent to the freedom of expression
guaranteed by the constitution. He
thought it wholly superfluous as a
part cf the newspaper code, that
merely repeated a provision of the
constitution which would be binding
in any event and which no govern
ment could dream of voiding or vio
lating. In giving this opinion Mr.
Rooseelt was unquestionably sincere.
Aside from any question of personal
principle, ha knows very well as a
politician that any attempt openly
to muzzle the press, or any part of
it, to den ythe right of free and
honest criticism of administration
policies, would be the most inexped
ient and foolish thing that could en
ter into the mind of a candidate for
office.
In connection, however, it has
been asserted that, whatever may be
true cf President Roosevelt, one
member of his cabinet ii prepared
to interfere with tho freedom of the
press. Mr. Mark &u!livan, in r.is syn
dicated correspondence from Wash
ington, cites words recently uttered
by the secretary of agriculture, Mr.
Wallace, who crcke of the ne?d, in a
certain contingency, cf "complete
control of all the agencies of public
cpinicn." But this language was
torn completely away from its con
text. Secretary Wallace was sanply
arguing what it would be nccesrary
to do if the country ever embraced
the plan of extreme and exclusive
nationalism. But that plan itself he
rejects. Indeed, he thinks it hateful.
Returning to the same subjsct in his
article published in the special fea
ture section of The Times yesterday,
he declared:
"I would hate to live in a country
where individual thought is punish
ed and stifled, and where speech Is
no longer free. Even if the strictest
nationalist discipline reared for us
here at home, exclusively, a towering
physical standard of living, I would
consider the spiritual price too high.
I think, too, that this would bo
pretty much the temper of the rest of
j the country." . ..
Iu this view Secretary Wallace
fellow-countrymen. They do not
speaks the thought of millions of his
wish to be regimented or stright
jacketed. Along with newspapers
and periodicals and writers and pub
lic speakers who would risk every
thing, and sacrifice everything if
necessary, in order to maintain the
constitutional right of free expres
sion of their opinions, they re at
all times ready to repeat and renew
the affirmation of Wordsworth:
"We must be free or die, who speak
the tongue
That Shakespeare spake; the faith
and morals hold
Which Milton held."
