"Fellowship with Christ"
John 13:1-16.
We are entering on the last quar
ter with these "Studies in the Chris
tian Life." The aim is to interpret
and deepen Christian experience by
fc-hr wing how it is rooted in Chris
tain faith, how it develops by study
and worship and expresses itself in
, Christiau , Attitude antL service. We
shall also see the great' transforma
tion that follows in our daily lives,
while we associate and commune
with the So nof God.
A great question suggests iself:
"What is real Christianity and how
dr.es it show itself?" All lessons for
this quarter will deal only with the
relationship of the Christian and
Christ, and will provide an answer to
the aforesaid question.
A.s man becomes a follower of
Christ, he enters into intimate re
lationship with Christ "born" into
the family of God's children "filled"
with the spirit of Cod has become a
"new creature" in Christ Jesus
' Being a wild olive tree he is graft
ed into the olive tree and partakes of
the root and fulness of the olive tree."
(Romans 11:7).
In this allegory, Jesus portrays the
relatir-nr.hip of his disciples with him
as "vine and branches." This was
easily understood by the twelve, be
ing spoken in the upper room just be
fore going to Gethsemane. "If you
want to have backbone in your char
acter, if you want to have peace that
cannot be shaken, if you want cour
age that will not quail before any
task life will ever bring, the royal
read to there things is to have be
hind you and within you the Christ
cf the New Testament, the eternal,
changeless, omnipotent Son of God."
(Rev. .Tamer; A. Francis).
This li;e cf Chri.st in us, and of
curscives in Christ this victorious
life is the subject of our lesson. The
true vine!
It is not improbable that in mak
ing this ant illustration to the disci
ple;;, Jesus beheld a vine clustering
and growing around the window or
door, and calling their attention to
it, made use of the natural fact and
drew a rpiritual lesson from it. A
vine is a unity; stock and off-shoots
of one organism; one life pervades the
whole. The vine readies down for us
into the rich, deep soil of eternal life,
and brings up into our lives endless
supplies of power, peace and joy. The
Father, the husbandman, planted the
vine, wr.tered it, trains it. guards it
with care and joy. Expending so
much care and labor on the vine, he
naturally expects it to bear fruit.
That is fair and reasonable, and if
they bear no fruit, they are taken
away, are removed, as a hindrance.
It is a sad thing to behold men who
profess to be Christians and yet lead
such ungodly lives that the d-vil him
self must be ashamed of them. The
Father will prune the vine separate
The Pilgrim fathers gave thanks
for a bountiful crop and this year,
mid-western farmers should at least
give thanks for a bountiful govern
ment. :o:
The only certain knowledge about
the next tax demand is that it will
be too much to suit the taxpayers
and too little to suit the tax spenders.
-:o:-
A good many women think they
are sophisticated when they learn to
use glibly in mixed company words
their grandmothers never spoke out
loud in their lives.
: o :
From this distance it is hearten
ing to nice that dollars are steady in
foreign exchanges, but what most of
us would like to know is why they
are so scarce in this country.
:o:
Washington figures show that, as
suming the charges against Haupt
mann in the Lindbergh case are sus
tained. 14 ot of 15 major kindnap
ings since March 1, 1932, have been
solved. The exception is the case of
June Robles.
Lesson Study!
By L. Neitzel, Mnrdock. Neb.
the unfruitful cast them away.
Even those vines that bear fruit
are purged to bear more fruit. Death,
sickness, failures, misfortune these
are some of God's kind pruning shears.
"Already are ye clean" the words
which Jesus had spoken to them, the
whole revelation he had made, had
brought spiritual life and therefor
cleansing. But this condition they
must strive to. maintain. To do this,
the Christian must "abide" in Christ.
Weymouth translates: "Continue in
me, and let me continue in you."
Abiding is growing!
The sap must flow from the main
stock into the branch, or it will eas
ily and quickly wither and die. Do
not forget the words of the Master.
"I am the vine, ye are the branches."
Unless your soul is united to the lov
ing Christ, you are not saved. No
creed, no ritual, no ordinance abso
lutely nothing short of being united
with Christ will suffice. It is a
union by faith. Faith is taking
Christ who is the Son of God and
treating him as our Saviour. There
are some people who visit Christ
There are others who abide in him.
To the one class religion is a tempor
ary expediency, to the other it is a
permanent principle. To the one
class. Christ is an occasional shelter;
to the other he is an "eternal home."
The glory of God is a fruit-bearing
Christian. Much fruit is expected,
for we have had much material for
fruit. So, and only so, shall we be his
disciples. This life will be a joyful
life. Jesus sorrow was transient, but
his joy is profound and eternal.
"Unfortunately, the disciples of
Jesus have not always entered fully
into his joy. They have put on sack
cloth and ashes when they might well
have worn the wedding garments."
(El Scribner Ames).
Such a life as is contemplated and
expected cf true Christians will in
spire men to love God and their fellow-men.
Love will he the dominat
ing factor in their lives. It also ele
vates them to be no more servants,
but FRIENDS of Jesus. What an ex
alted position! God honors them that
honor him.
Then Jesus reminds his disciples
that he had chosen them, not they
him. God sought Adam after the fall.
Jems went to see those who were lost,
lie chose the twelve from among the
many as the first instrumentality in
that great plan of talvation. God al
ways takes the first step in bringing
men to him. Man Ins nothing to
boast cf. One of the greatest prom
ises of Jesus i3: "Whatsoever ye shall
ask of the Father in my name, he
may give it you." Hence the Chris
tian comes with great confidence and
boldly to the throne of grace, know
ing that his petition will be granted,
if he abides in Christ and prays in
the name of Jesus. That is hard to
explain, but ii a happy and blessed
experience of thousands of living
branches c:i the true Vine.

Expansion of
the Public W orks
Program Soon
Funds to Be Asked for Water, Land
crservation, Plans to Elim
inate Unemployment.
Expansion of the public works pro
gram on a scale larger than hereto
fore undertaken is under consider
ation at Washington, press reports
state. The new campaign it is ex
pected will he on a scale that will
rid the country of a permanent army
of unemployed.
Another call for public works
funds was foreshadowed Tuesday by
Secretary Ickes, public works admin
istrator, who told reporters ho would
"like to have a real appropriation."
Ickes, Harry L. Hopkins, federal
relief administrator, and other offi
cials have gone over tentative plans
in conferences with the president
Thes discussions aie to continue un
til a decision is made.
Amount Not Decided.
Embraced within th? recommen
dations to congress probably will be
Mr. Roosevelt's idea for Ir.nd and
water conrervation, including the re
tirement of millions of acres ir. sub
marginal soil and i'cr the develop
ment of water power.
Secretary I:k:s tday declined tc
discuss the amount he might recom
mend to continue work of his ad
ministration. Admlr. i:;t ration officials
however, have estimated that 401
million dollars annual'- over a per
iod of years could he spent cn lurid
and water development alone.
Would Trarsfcr Idle.
Ickes said approximately 00 mil
lion dollars would be r.cc.Ud next
year to carry cn p.-oj?.t:s a'rcr.dy un
der way. The $3,700,000,000 pub
lic works fund voted by congress has
been exhausted by a-tuai expendi
tures or allotments. Unofricially, it
was said that a billion dollars and
perhaps twice that might be n eded
for the double purpose of relieving
unemployment end developing the
nation's resources.
A phas? of the planned ii.; of land
would be the transfer of idle in the
cities to subsidence lnmcstcads in
rural or semirural surroundings.
