Lesson for May 24
j BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE |
LESSON TEXT — Luke 20:45-47;
21:1-36.
GOLDEN TEXT-In your patience
[possess ye your souls.—Luke 21:19.
; PRIMARY TOPIC — A Gift That
I Pleased Jesus.
I JUNIOR TOPIC—What Makes a Gift
Great?
[ INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR
TOPIC—Making the Most of Today.
! YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT
ITOPIC—Living for Spiritual Ends.
I -
| While this lesson Is Indicated as the
[quarterly Temperance lesson, and the
ivarlous subjects suggested vary In
| their objective, a more logical theme
(would seem to be “Jesus Teaches In
!the Temple.” No Individual, city, or
'nation can truly build for the future
(that disregards what the Bible says
i about the future.
! I. Jesus Warns Against the Scribes
i(vv. 45-47).
He had just dealt with the disbelief
(of the Sadducees. The scribes claimed
!faith, for they were the teachers of the
(law. They were punctiliously exact
ling as to its literal observance. They
jhad little understanding of the need of
[flexibility In applying its principles to
[human needs. They discovered that
jjesus was leaching things contrary to
'their Interpretations. Jesus taught
[that the law was made for man, and
(not man for the law. The scribes were
.publicity seekers, making parade of
l their wisdom. Sunday school teachers
[should earnestly pray that they may
i serve as true messengers of Christ, not
i as scribes, with only a head-knowl
edge of biblical matters.
I II. Jesus Makes Estimate of Gifts
(Luke 21:1-4).
1. Amount counts for little (▼. 1).
While the rich cast their gifts Into the
treasury, and observers may have
noted that the clash and clatter of
ithelr coin Indicated large giving. It Is
[not likely that these gifts meant per
isonal sacrifice or self-denial.
I 2. Inner conditions determine the
value of a gift (vv. 2, 3). In the sight
4>f man the poor widow’s deed was not
worthy of notice. In the sight of God
—ilt merited the immortality of the Bible
(record. The two-mite gift of the widow
'revealed her love for God, else how
fcould she spare her all? It revealed
her faith In God for tomorrow, for how
[else would she be fed? It revealed
[her humility, for she did not with
jhold her gift because it was so little.
(Verse 4 Is Indeed revealing as to
'Christ's Interpretation of the deeper
meaning of gifts, for that and the
present age.
III. Jesus Prophesies His Return
:<vt. 5-33).
. 1. The temple to be destroyed (vv.
;5, 6). The temple was the pride and
boast of the proud Jew. Such boasting
called forth the Lord’s declaration that
"there shall not be left one stone upon
another,” a fact that had Its fulfill
ment A. D. 70, when Titus destroyed
Jerusalem.
' 2. The disciples’ Inquiry (v. 7).
.There can be no surprise that the dis
ciples should ask for. more information
about future events. A corresponding
verse in Matthew (24:3) should be
' considered.
3. An order of events was pre
sented to them (vv. 8-24). Perhaps
one would not so much say an order,
as that he pointed out details on the
great canvas of the future.
a. False Christs would appear (v.
8), some claiming to be the Messiah
in his first appearing, and some In
his reappearing. These make their ap
peal to such as are not rooted and
grounded In the faith. “Go ye not
after them.”
b. Inevitable wars and commotions
.(vv. 9, 10) will embroil the nations.
“Commotions” signifies tumults, in the
absence of war, wrangling within na
tional life, or between nations. The
restful follower of Christ is to “be not
terrified."
c. Violent persecutions were fore
told (vv. 12-19). The believer of today
should absorb the meaning and teach
ing of this marvelous passage of Scrip
ture. "Settle it In your hearts" that
. Christ will be to his own even as to
the tempest-tossed disciples on Galilee,
when he said “Peace, be still.” And In
this connection he spoke the words of
the golden text, “In your patience pos
sess ye your souls."
IV. Appropriate Warnings (vv. 34
36).
The grosser sins may not ensnare
the believer, but how subtle are the
cares of this life. But upon the
drunken, the obscene, the frivolous,
and upon the follower of Christ alike
shall trials and perplexities come.
Watch ye therefore, always; pray, al
ways. Only so shall the child of God
be ready (“worthy”) to escape, and to
;8tand before the Son of God. Benedic
tion is pronounced upon “those who
love his appearing."
Christian Worship
All Christian worship is a witness of
the resurrection of him who liveth for
ever and ever. Because he lives, “now
abideth faith, hope, charity.”
The Greatest Gift
You propose to give up everything
for God. Be mire, then, to include
yourself among the things to be given
up.
Talent and Character
Talent forms Itself in solitude; char
acter In the press of life.—Goethe.
\
For a whole day Guiseppe Co
logna waited at a hospital in Turin,
Italy, to see his sick mother. Then
he fell dead of heart disease at the
same moment his mother died.
After coming through an Illinois
boxing match unscathed, Tommy
Steiner attempted to demonstrate
some of the exchange blows to his !
friends. He hit himself on the jaw ’
and broke a tooth. '
FIFTY-SEVENTH INSTALLMENT
Pick the figs fully ripe, cut off about half the stem
and let them soak all night in very weak salt and water.
Drain off the salt water in the morning and cover them
with fresh water. Make a thick syrup, allowing three
quarters pound loaf sugar to each pound fruit. When it
boils, drop the figs carefully in and let them cook till they
look clear. When done, take from the fire and season with
ginger. The figs must not be peeled, as the salt water
removes the roughness from the skin and keeps the fruit
firm and hard.—Mrs. I. S. Trower.
Preserved Figs
Peel the amount of figs desired and weigh them.
Allow three-quarters of a pound of sugar to each pound of
fruit. Put the sugar in the kettle with a little water and
as soon as it boils put in the fruit and cook with a slow
fire until they look clear. Put in small jars.—Miss Bessie
E. Gunter.
Gooseberries
Gather the berries when they have attained their full
size but are of a good green color. Put them in a kettle
with a little water to keep them from sticking to the
kettle. Stew them a little while, then add the sugar, three
quarters of a pound to the pound of fruit. Cook them till
the syrup is thick, but not until they turn reddish. Put
them in air-tight jars. Quart jars preferred. They are
delicious on pastry. Miss May Gunter.
Watermelon Rind
Cut the rind in any shapes fancied (such as flowers,
fruits, leaves, grapes, fish, etc.), put in brine strong enough
to float an egg, cover closely with grape leaves and set
away the jar. When ready to make the preserves, soak
the rind in fresh water, changing it till all taste of salt is
removed from the rind. Dissolve four tablespoonfuls
pulverized alum in one gallon water. Lay the rind in
this, covered closely with grape or cabbage leaves. Simmer
till it becomes a pretty green, then soak out the alum by
throwing the rind in soft water. Pour boiling water on
half a pound of white ginger and let it stand long enough
to soften sufficiently to slice easily in thin pieces (retain
ing the shape of the races as much as possible). Then
boil it an hour in half a gallon of water and two pounds
best cut sugar. This makes a thin syrup, in which boil
the rind gently for half an hour, adding water to keep the
rind covered with syrup. Take out and set away for four
days and then boil again as before, adding two pounds of
sugar and more water if necessary. Repeat the boiling six
or seven times, till the syrup is rich and thick and suffic
ient to cover the rind. See that the fruit it kept covered
with syrup, adding water if necessary. Allow two pounds
of sugar to each pound of fruit. The ginger called for
above will flavor two gallons of rind. This keeps indef
finitely and never ferments.—Miss May Gunter.

CAPE CHARLES BUSINESS MEN’S ASSOCIATION
Launches Its Spring and Summer Campaign
SEE EIGHT PAGE CIRCULAR FOR PARTICULARS
GET THESE DATES FIXED IN YOUR MIND NOW!
JUNE 25TH JULY 23RD AUG. 20TH SEPT. 24TH
Cape Charles Welcomes You and Assures You of Good Values and Good Service in All
Business Transactions
'1
IF YOU like the song a sweet motor
sings or the cataract of power
that’s never under strain — set a date
when we can get together and let’s
have some fun!
We want you to thrill to the quiet
rhythm of the ablest straight-eight
engine in the world — the valve-in
head straight-eight in these Buicks
of ours!
We want you to feel the way a Buick
minds your touch on the treadle,
your hand on the wheel, your foot
on the brake.
We want you to send it romping up
a hill — and learn what it means to
have a car that always has “plenty
left in reserve.”
We want you to pretend for an hour
that you own a Buick — and see for
yourself bow it feeds your appetite
for obedient action like no other car
you ever wheeled through traffic!
No, we don’t want to sell you—we
want you to sell yourself! We’ll fig
ure out for you how little it will cost
you to own one—that’s information
every well-informed car owner
ought to have.
But mostly we want you to get ac
quainted with these Buicks — to know
from driving one why everybody
agrees Buick’s the buy!
If you’ve wanted thrills — power
thrill, comfort - thrill, style - thrill —
give us a chance to show you what
a Buick will do. How about setting
the date now?
