THE NEWS-HERALD, HILLSBORO, OHIO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1914 I t MlBMriONAL SlMTSWL LESSON By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR JANUARY 11. THE MISSION OF THE SEVENTY. LESSON TEXT.-Luke 10:1-24. GOLDEN TEXT. "It is not ye that peak, but the spirit of your Father that ipeaketh In you." Matt. 10:20. Jesus "came unto his own and his own received him not." Rejected In Judea, be turned to Galilee, making his headquarters at Capernaum only to be rejected there also. "After these things" (v. 1.) e. g., after his final de parture from Galileo, and as he was about to perform his Perean ministry. The ministry of Jesus is rapidly has ' tening to a close, still there is much work to do, henco the selection of those who shall go before him to pre pare for what proved to be in each city and town his last visit. 1. The Seventy Sent (vv. 1-9). Verse one tells us of the character of tho I work they were to undertake, viz, to bo heralds; to prepare the people against his coming, 2 Cor. 5:20. There is a plentltude of wo.-k, but, "the la- borers are few." They were sent to a particular people, "whither he him- i self would come," 2 Tim. 4:8; Titus 2:13. No matter what may have been their limitations, the "coming one" would supply all deficiencies. Jesus commanded prayer, but also sent forth ' those same praying ones (vv. 2, 3). Prayer and work go hand In hand In a sane Christian experience. Every impression demands sufficient expres sion, it It is to make any lasting con- trlbution to our characters. The lurge harvest demands attention. We are (Sent into that harvest by the King . himself, "Behold I send youj'nd ' those whom he sends are not com pelled to labor alone, Matt. 28:20; John 14:1G. Jesus mentions four things about those whom he sends: Like Lambs. (1) Their character. They are to be like "lambs." We have Just had the figure of "laborers" presented, labor ers who were sent. Is this then a mixed simile? We think not. We are to go forth to the harvesting work as laborers, that is our work, but, In our characters, we are to' be lamb-like. (2) Their environment, "among wolves " That is to say, surrounding each harvest field, and frequently en croaching as far as they dare, are the wolves, a typo of the evil one and of his agents. Those -who go thus Into, or by the way of, danger will not carry any excess of baggage, 2 Tim. 2:4. (3) In the third place, they are to go forth with complete dependence upon God's providing care (v. 4). The exact letter of these instructions is not always incumbent upon his ambas sadors, chapter 22:35, 3G, but the spir it of absolute faith in a Father who will provide, must always possess hla representatives. 4t As to their bearing, It must be that of dignity and self-respect (v. 5). Social demands consume a great deal ot energy in diplomatic circles, and It, is here that many Christians waste precious energy, as well as becoming Involved in worldly practices. Their first thought upon entering a house must be for the good of the home (v. 5). not for their personal comfort. If a "son of peace," (v. C), dwelt there, one to whom peace rightfully be longed, their benediction would bring to that home a blessing. But if he fie not there their peace was not to be lost, for it would return to the giver. (5) Their mission was to offer, not to force acceptance. They were not , beggars, going from house to house (v, 7), they had something worth while and were worthy of their hire. The fawning, cringing sycophants that pass for Christian workers stand re buked before this teaching. However, this does not sanction the dogmatic, domineering methods of some. They are to accept what is offered (v. 8), not demanding, "a worthy compensa tion." The church of Christ stands condemned for the meager salaries given Its representatives, yet It is also true that a man usually, and in the long run, gets about what ho is worth. God's Truth. To build up character brings a far richer compensation, and more last ing results, than to obtain earthly prestige, ease or wealth. Therefore the ambassador of Christ can afford to wait with glad certainty the final casting up of accounts, accepting in the meantime the lowlier seats among meu, Luke 14;7-14. However, these ambassadors do have an exalted work to perform, They had a commission for both body and soul. The Gospel of Christ Is for the whole man (v. 9). To minister to the bodies of men must however be accompanied by the her alding of the coming kingdom. That kingdom which is everlastingly to be visible upon earth, Dan. 2:44. II. The Seventy Received (vv. 10 16.) These heralds were to proclaim that the kingdom was "nlgh.unto you." In this section we have set before us not only the probable manner whereby the ambassadors may be re ceived, but also their attitude towards those who shall reject them. Jesus, by hie anathemas pronounced upon Chor nzln and Betbsalda (vv, 12-15), Inti mates what shall bo tho fate of those who reject the ambassadors of the King. He emphasizes this by saying (v. 16) that he Is heard and despised when these, his representatives, are heard or despised.

Again and again, Just as we were about to launch out into tho "Merry Widow," or some thing as embarrassingly appropriate, I would spy another hearso turning the corner, and would have to hurried ly change the tune or wait until the mourners were safely out of earshot. It was a little disconcerting and dis tinctly trying, but I managed things all right, I thought, and congratulated myself upon having come through a difficult situation with flying colors. But, alas, my self-satisfaction was short-lived! Three days later I re ceived a letter from an indignant wid ow complaining that, of all tunes the band had played, "Put Me Among the Girls" while her dear husband's fu neral was passing the grounds! Strength of the Stubborn. How much perfectly good, service able will-power people waste in mere obstinacy! Martha Malone, after working three years for Mrs. Blxby, appeared one morning at Mrs. Wil son's back door, and applied for a place. "Why," said the surprised Mrs. Wil son, "I thought you were working for Mrs. Blxby!" "I was, mum. But I've quit." "Is that so?" Mrs. Wilson could not conceal her surprise. "I thought you liked her." "Indeed I do, mum." "And I'm sure she liked you." "I believe she did, mum. Leastwise she always seemed to." "Well" Mrs. Wilson was still won dering what the trouble had been. "Well," said Martha, seeing that some explanation was expected, "you see it was like this, mum. I always put the blue china plates on the right hand side of the cupboard, and this morning tho missus comes along, and moves 'em, and says, 'Martha, every mornin' for three years you've put the plates on the wrong side, and I've had to come along and move them and 1 can't stand it any longer.' "And," said Martha, "I says to her, 'Mrs. Blxby, every mornin' for three years I've put them plates in the right place, and you come along and moved them, and then I had to come along and move them back, and I can't stand It any longer, either.' "And so I quit." Youth's Compan ion. French-Canadian Birth Rate. When Franco is perturbed by that ever-present specter, the falling birth rate, there Is the example of French fertility in Canada to which students of the problem may point from their editorial stools In Paris. The results of the Canadian census of 1911 have recently been published and show 2, 054,000 French out of a total popula tion of 7,206,000, as compared with 3,878,000 of English, Irish, and Scotch combined. In 1901 the French were 31 per cent, of the whole; In 1911 only 29 per cent., but In the same pe riod the Britannic preponderance had fallen from 57 to 54 per cent, with the Introduction of other races. In the ten years the French-Canadians had added 405,519 to their number, a strict ly numerical Increase of nearly 25 per cent. a rate the half of which would make France delirious with joy could she accomplish It. Lost Feet and Watch. While surgeons ot the Methodist hospital, In this city, were amputat ing the feet of John Guest, who was run ovor by a train at Bangor, Pa., his gold watch was stolen from his pocket. When he recovered conscious ness from tho anesthetic he missed the timepiece, and the loss caused a hurried search, but nothing could be found to explain the loss. Suspicion fell on Paul Itelker, an orderly at the Institution. He was arrested, confessed, and was held for trial In the night court. This led to the discovery that another patient, Frank Price, was robbed of a dia mond stickpin while under the In fluence of ether In the surgical ward, and Relker also confessed that theft. Philadelphia Dispatch to the New York Tribune. Power of Latin. It Is recorded that Andrew Jack son was once making a Btump speech out west, in a small village. JuBt as he was concluding, Amos Kendall, who sat behind him, whispered, "Tip 'era a little Latin, genoral. They won't be content without It." Jackson In stantly thought upon a few phrases he knew, and In a voice of thunder, wound up his speech by exclaiming, "B plurlbus unum sine qua non ne plus ultra multum In parvo." The effect was tremendous, and the shouts could be heard tor many miles. Nuform, Style ures. Unique coat Insuring comfort with and batiste. Hose supporters.
