This is review Sunday. Since the Gospel of Luke is too much for one review lesson, it might be very prof itable to concentrate on: "The teach ings of some of Christ's great par ables." This should prove to be a great blessing, as we sit at Jesus feet and listen ot the greatest of all teachers, when he 1 Teaches Humility. (Luke 14: 7-11). This virtue is best illustrated by the life of our Saviour in wash ing the disciples' feet; John 13 and Phil. 2:6-9, where he took upon him self the form of a servant. The wash ing of the disciples' feet was to be an example a loving service for others to emulate. 2 The parables that teach God's love for the lost (Luke 15:1-32). (a) The lost sheep the human race; because Jesus left the ninety and nine, pure, holy, sinless spirits that needed no repentance; (b) The lost coin in the home the forgotten, neg lected member in the church the latent, unused talent. The coin re stored to its rightful purpose, (c) The lost boy returns home shows the father's solicitude and Joy as the family circle is full again. 3 The parable that teaches the difference between false and true riches. (Luke 16:1-13). A rich man employed a Stewart over his posses sions, who proved unworthy. He was dishonest and lost his position, but was clever enough to make friends who would be obligated to him. This Stewart knew how to make use of the unrighteous goods; hi3 lord com mended the clever way in which he accomplished his end. The teachin is to be faithful, true and honest in that which is entrusted to our care only the faithful will be rewarded with a crown of life. (Rev. 2:10). Many a man is trying the impossible, i. e. serving God and mammon the devil. God will not honor such ser vice. God will not and cannot share the heart of man with any other. (Deut. 6:4. 5). 4 Tne parable tnat teacnes us our obligations in serving God. (Luke 17:7-10). God has a rightful claim on our service. As man is dependent on God for everything that he needs. therefore God expects and rightfully demands that man do what a gener ous God who so freely gives and sup plies all of man's needs wants him to do. OBEY his commands, and above all do him loving service, not grudgingly, but gladly. Here again, we have for an example our Lord Jesus. (Ps. 40:8). "I delight to do thy will, O my God" and in Heb. 10 7 we have the same saying. K This Darable teaches us the true attitude of the heart in prayer, Praying is an art; by constant prac tice we may become adepts in this art. An earnest, faithful prayer con gists of only few words.

Refreshments, consisting of cherry pie, cake and ice cream were served by Mrs. Sack. The club met again on June 19th at the home of Mrs. Forrest Leonard.

Visitors are cordially invited. Club Reporter. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. tain from three to eight words. Ex ceptions are Solomon's dedicatory prayer, 31 verses, and Jesus high priestly prayer, 26 verses. But the teaching of this parable is to show us the proper attitude of the heart in prayer humility contriteness of heart (Ps. 51:17) are pleasing to God. as illustrated by the publican, he went to his home "Justifled," par doned a clean record freed from the charges against him. Restored to the favor of God. 6 The parable that teaches us how to use profitably God's gifts to us. (Luke 19:11-27). Everyone has some talent entrusted to him, which he can use or abuse or neglect or multiply by using them. We see also that not all have been endowed or intrusted with the same capacity. God in his wisdom knew the load one can bear. It is astonishing, even to men, to see how mankind can increase their talents by employing their spare moments, by being diligent and ambitious how they can climb upward until they reach the pinacle of fame, while others with the same opportunity fritter their time away. Precious moments are wasted in friv olous, useless occupations. And al most invariably they are the ones who are found complaining that the other fellow was just lucky had a pull which they did not have, or some other equally silly excuse, when the trouble was their own indolence, a love of ease laziness, to be plain. God rewards the men who will burn midnight oil and deny themselves the pleasures of the world. They are in deed a blessing to mankind. 8 The parable that teaches the tragedy of refusing Christ. (Luke 20: 9-1S). No greater curse can befall man than to reject the only means whereby he. can be saved. Here is a man washed overboard; a life line is thrown to him, but he refuses to take it, because it is not the kind that he wanted if any. Result, he drowns. A great general had a loathsmoe dis ease; he was told to go to a certain stream and wash therein. Although he first refused to do so, later he lis tened to good advice, went and wash ed and was healed. Men are going to perdition every day because they reject God's way of saving them and there is only one way, and that is God's way. "There Is none other name . . . under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved but Jesus only." (Acts 4:12). If we accept that way, we will be saved. If we refuse, neglect or pro crastinate, just as surely as tomor row's sunrise, we will find ourselves outside the fold of the saved when the role is called. Frittering away the opportunity of eternal happiness for a few gay pleasures during our brief lifetime on this earth is a ser ious thing. Consider now, before it is too late repeat and be saved, all ye who are not now enrolled in God's legion of the righteous.
