It has been widely prevalent in both ancient and modern times, 'and it has been in secular, as well as in sacred, literature. I The use of the parable was not unique .with Jesus. There were many parables in the Old Testa 'ment. The parable was a natural 'incident of oriental imagery and figure of speech. I What was unique in the para bles of Jesus was their supreme quality as stories and their ef fectiveness in SDreadine the 'teachings of the Master. j I The parable is usually thought ' I of as an imaginary tale. That's ihow the dictionary defines it. But jthe parable actually need not 1 concern itself with whether the ! incidents described did or did not happen in real life. I j The parables of Jesus were! itrue to life, even though they were imaginary. They told ofl what might have happened and what does happen. J Moreover, what the parables! of Jesus relate might happen in' eny time or place. They are as! true to life today as they were in the days when Jesus uttered them. The parable of the Good Sa ;maritan still shows what a good '.neighbor is like. And it still shows that even a despised Sa maritan acting as a good neigh bor is nearer to God and his fel-: lowmen than a pretentiously' re-' ligious hypocrite who despises his neighbor. 1 . Probably the most famous parables outside of the Bible arei the' Fables" of Aesop." Aesop1 wrote much of animals, but he really had in mind people, to whom he was offering wisdom and counsel. . It is noticeable that the par ables of Jesus were of people. They were not of animals or im--aginary beings." " ' THE FIRST METHODIST CHURCH Seventh and Main Harold V.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SOCIETY Sixth Street and Second Avenue "Mind" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon which wrill be read in Christian Science churches throughout the world on Sunday, August 23, 1953. , The Golden Text is: "The Lord is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed." (I Samuel 2:3). Other Bible cita tions include, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understand ing. In all thy ways acknowl edge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." (Proverbs 3:5,6). The Lesson-Sermon also in cludes the following passage from the Christian Science text- book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, "A finite and ma terial sense of God leads to form alism and narrowness; it chills the spirit of Christianity. In finite Mind is the creator, and creation is the infinite image or idea emanating from this Mind. If Mind is within and without all things, then all is Mind; and this definition is scientific."
