Since 1887, Jesuits have labored
fta Florida and the lower Mississip
pi Valley since the first white men
name to this country.
. Living with the Indiana in their
vesmin infested villages, the Jesu- j
its were cut off not only from the!
physical comforts of the civilisa
tion they had known but also from
the spiritual comforts of the com
munity life in which they had par
ticipated. Holy men, they lived in
.the midst dl viee so appalling that
.they considered the devil a physi
cal force- among the savages.
From these beginnings have
sprung the organization that today
his, in the Southern Province, 287
priests, lih Seminarians and 38
brothers—a total of 585 men.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Jesus teaches God's grace-
Matthew 10:1-16
By RALPH ROGERS
Christ and the Christian people
of a?! ages have been interested
in the underprivileged, the ‘little’
people of the world. These with
whom tbe Pharisees were disgust
ed, were called, “this crowd who
do not know the law, (and) are
accursed." This ‘crowd’ could not
always follow the intricacies, re
gulations and teachings of the
Pharisees, but they could under
stand Jesus and while they hated
and rejected tte Pharisees, they
accepted and loved Jesus.
Hie story of the vineyard has
been explained in many ways. Cal
vin thought it was an answer to
Peter’s question when he asked in
Matthew 19:27, “Behold, we have
forasken all and followed thee,
what shall we have therefore?’’
Iraneous thought the long hour
workers were the prophets of the
Old Testament and the eleventh
hour workers were the disciples of
the New Testament. Gregory said
the Jews were the long-hour work
ers and the Gentiles the short hour
laborers. It is more likely that Je
sus had m mind the Pharisees, the
murmurers who had spent their
lives in religion, as compared with
the common, rebellious “people of
the land" whom they held c
-cursed. Whatever is meant, we a
gree that it was a most encourag
ing word for the underprivileged.
After all, man is not the judge of
rewards.
The country people knew what
Jesus was talking about when he
referred to the kingdom of heaven
being “like unto a man that was
a householder.” These laborers a
greed for a ‘shilling’ a day. This
is the American Standard Version
while tte King James Version says
a “penny’ a day. Perhaps the
American Revised Version is more
nearly correct when it says a ‘de
narius.’ A denarius amounts to a
bout twenty cents and that was the
wage of a laborer in that day for
a full day’s work.
This householder wanted to get
his crop in before night so he went
out in the market place and hired
otter workers about the third hour,
and again about the sixth and the
ninth hour. He told them that be
would pay whatever was right and
they took him at his word. They
asked no questions for they were
• anxious to get work. My father al
lways told me to tell anyone who
i wanted to hire me that ‘whatever
!is right will be all rigbt.” 1 used
to make a little spending money
when a lad hauling water for the
threshers. The farmer would pay
me generally a dollar a day for
imy mule, buckboard and my work.
After a long day’s work, from sun
up till long after dark- since they
wanted to finish the job. I worked
for a Mr. Jim Reed. After supper
that night, about nine o'clock, he
asked me what I charged for my
work. I told him whatever is right.
He handed me a dime and said that
he thought that was about right.
Rev. Rogers To
Preach Twice
Here On Sun.
From Adam to the present gen
eration, everyone seems to want
something. Yet the Psalmist has
said. "The Lord is my Shepherd,
I Shall Not Want." That would be
wonderful if we wanted for noth
ing. This will be the theme of the
I sermon by the Rev. Mr. Rogers at
the First Presbvterian Church,
White at Washington St., Sunday
morning at eleven o’clock.
I Mr. Rogers says, "The late Cha-1
R plain Alfred C. Oliver, one of the
victims in the Bataan death march, !
told of his experiences in the Jap- !
anese prison Besides the cruel and ]
inhuman treatment received at the '
hands of their tormentors, they
were almost starved. I asked Cha- ]
plain Oliver if it was true that the
prisoners turned cannibals He
said, “When a fellow is hungry.j
he'll eat anything * When ooe ia
hungry then, be want* food des- j
perateiy vand as a rule ooe will
beg or even steal to satisfy banger.
What does the Good Shepherd then
mean then be makes the Psalmist
say. "I shall not want"**"

ibL Paul uaa so tuaaed uut mow,
After driving home that night ar
riving about ten o’clock, I was
really ashamed to tell my Dad
what I had made that day. Suffice
to say, I never worked for that
householder after that.
Like the laborers in the vine
; yard, I murmured. Some scholars
believe that it was a little unjust
for the householder to act as be
did. Yet he stood on his rights and
paid them what he agreed to pay.
Those who had worked in the heat
of the day and labored faithfully
felt that they were entitled to a
bonus. It seems that this lesson
teaches that mere obedience, mere
merit in men, does not entitle
them to special favors, either with
men or with God. Those who come
early have no more right to a spe
cial seat in the kingdom than do
those who come in late. Salvation
is by faith in the grace and good
ness of God.
Jesus makes the householder
ask, “Is it not lawful for me to do
what I will with my own?” vs 15.
God is the ultimate owner of every
thing and all spiritual gifts in this
life come by the grace of God.
He determines bow these gifts
shall be distributed. Another thing
about this part of tbe lesson is that
any Christian will rejoice to see a
prodigal repent and come home
where even the latest converts
have the unsearchaible riches of
Christ thrown open to them. Paul
sums it up when he says, “For by
grace are ye saved through faith,
and that not of yourselves; it is
the gift of God; not of works lest
! any man should boast. (Esph. 2:8,-
9)
Dr. Kermit Eby In the Pulpit Di
gest says, “The grumbling, greedy
laborers in the Biblical vineyard
would have been perfectly at home
among the laborers we know today.
Organized labor in our time, after
years of struggle against unfair
odds, is at last in a commanding
position, and is demanding and get
ting higher and higher wages, re
gardless of what tbe increase in
wages do to the whole economic
structure of the country. Labor is
never satisfied; the idea now
seems to be to get all it can, not
to get what it is worth! Nor is
labor alone in that; management
and even individuals, are grabbing
wildly for profit, and letting the
devil take the hindmost! We like to
determine what (he other fellow
should have. There is an old pray
er of the Sioux Indians which
says, “1 was born with music in
my soul. I knew musical scores
before I knew my ABC’s. It was a
gift of Providence. I did not ac
quire it. So I do not even deserve
thanks for the music I produce,
and 1 never look upon the money
I get as my own. It is public
money, merely a fund entrusted
to my care for proper disburse
ment.” Our talent, our health, our
life is a gift of God. A. B. Simpson
says, “As dew never falls on, a
stormy night, so the dews of His
grace never come to the restless
souL”
