IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School ’ Lesson T (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D. D.. Teacher of Fngllah Bible tn Ue Moody Bible Innlltute ot Chicago.) Copyright, lISS. Wuit.ri Nowopopor Colon. LESSON FOR JULY 29 MATTHEW, THE PUBLICAN ■ LESSON TEXT — Matthew 99-1 S; Luke t 27-32. GOLDEN TEXT—"I camo not to call th® righteous but sinners to repentance " —Matthew 1:12. REFERENCE MATERIAL-Mark 2: 13 22. I PRIMARY TOPlC—Matthew Invites Jesus to His Home JUNIOR lOPlC—What Jesus Did tor Matthew. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPlC—Matthew Overcomes a Handicap. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Matthew, a Stuply ot Conversion. I. Who Matthew Was. Os Matthew little is known, even Ills birth place Is concealed. Our first sight of him is seated at the toll booth collecting tines. The tax gatherer was liated by tba loyal Jews because he collected taxes for the alien government under whose yoke they were gulling. This hate was the more bitter because of the extortion usually’ practiced by those in rule. From the meager accounts «« llnd thut Matthew was: 1. A Man of Decision. We do not . know whether he had ever seen or heard of Jesus before this time, but we note that he at once arose and followed Jesus. Without doubt, there Were many things to concern liftn. It was no little task to break off from Ids business which apparently was very lucrative. 2. He Was a Humble Man. In chapter 10, verse 3, the order in which he gives his own name and the fact that he designates himself a "publican" would show thut he did not overestimate himself. 3. He Possessed Force of Character. Tills is shown in the fact that he gave a feast and Invited his friends In to see and hear Ids Lord. He had two names Levi, which means "attached" or “Joined," and Matthew, which means "gift of Je- I hovah." Most likely Matthew was tiie name assumed after his conversion. 11. Matthew's Call or Conversion (Math. 9:9). 1. As Jesus Passed By, He “Saw a Mam" He saw the possibilities which were In Matthew. He saw through the hated profession of a tax gatherer the shining possibilities of his manhood and apostleship. He saw in him the man lit to perceive and portray the Messiahshlp of the Redeemer. The divine graca was revealed In this call. Je.-.us sees what Is In man regardless of name or profession. 2. Matthew’s Response (v. 9). He acted wltu decision and promptness; he left Bls business behind him. When Jesus said, "Follow Me," Matthew perceived that greater than man had spoken to him. May we yield ourselves unto Him and render such simple obedience thut our actions may be but the echoes ot the divine voice in commanding. Two tilings in Matthew's compliance prove the genuineness of his conversion: 1. "He Left All" (Luke 5:28). Real conversion always results In the forsaking of all that Is contrary to Jesus, such us Illegitimate business, wicked associates and worldly pleasures, etc. 2. “Followed Jesus.’’ Following Jesus means the commitment of one's life to Him for full salvation, abandonment of the will to Him to do whatsoever He wills, and a willingness to suffer, and even die, if need be, for Him.

111. Matthew Made a Great Feast (Luke 5:29-32). This feast Was made In honor of his newly-found Savior. His conversion was so real that he wanted his friends to become acquainted with liis Savior. He was not ashamed to confess his Lord be- ! fore them. He showed real tact in making a supper. Men will come to u feust much more readily t)u»r. they will to u sermon. A great company of sinners came, who doubtless had been Matthew’s compunions in sin. 1 He now desired them to become ids brothers in Christ. The Scribes and Pharisees were astonished thut Jesus would tippeur in company with such u motley crowd of disreputable persons. They were too cowardly to speak to Jesus but they came to the disciples. Jesus championed their cause and battled His adversaries. His reasoning was unanswerable. A physician’s place is among the sick. 1 Only those who are diseased should come to the doctor's house. Since spiritual matters are of more importance than physical, Jesus was more than Justified In being In the center of those who were morally sick thnt He might heal them of their maladies. 1 He came to call sinners to repentance. Our Conscience. If conscience smite thee once It is an admonition; if twice, it is a condemnation. Repose 18 as necessary in conversation as in a picture.—Hazlltt. Intelligence and Charity. The brightest blaze of intelligence Is j of Incalculably less value than the smallest spark of charity—W. Nevins. | The Ground of Joy. We can do nothing well without joy, and a good conscience which is the ground of joy.—Slbbes.

Brought All of ’em Although there was a record attendance for the opening day of the local fair present last Tuesday, the fair association did not get much money from the gate receipts, as on that day all children, ex-soldiers, and Ford drivers were admitted free. One Ford rambled up to the entrance gate that morning and the ticket seller looked ’em over. There were eleven occupants of the car, but he obtained only one paid admission, as there were nine children under twelve years of age and they, together with the driver, were admitted free. The lady alone, had to pay. SIXTEEN HOUR DAY Farmers Working Early and Late to Save Crops Evansville, July 25.—Farmers of Vanderburg are using the sixteen hour- of daylight and more Io keep up with their crops. They are plowing corn by lantern light after darkness has closed down and city people have forgotten there is such a thing as work. Motorists report that they have frequently seen one man driving the team hitched to the plow while another held a lantern which furnished the light to guide the team. The shortage of agricultural labor, added to the fact that market prices for farm products prevent the farmer from paying wages that would compete with industrial wages paid in the cities, has brought about a serious situation for the farmers in the southern part of Indiana, according to County Agent Wilson.

July 20—Head officials of the Clover Lent rfnd lake Erie railroads, both of which are absorbed into the Nickle Plate system several months ago, met in Bluffton yesterday to discuss a proposed plan for the unification of the Bluffton passenger and freight stations ot the two lines. While the officials were still in session at a late hour yesterday afternoon and no definite announcement regarding details of the project was made, it is understood that the plan will be carried out, probably this year. Present at the meeting were D. F. Milne, superintendent of the Clover Leaf; F. Ramsey, chief engineer of the Clover Leaf; Mr. Drunkmiller, trainmaster of the Clover Leaf; G. W. McKown, station inspector of the Clover Leaf; F. G. Davy, roadmaster of the Clover Leaf; F. J. D’Grief, general superintendent of the Lake Erie, and A. J. Smith, division superintend ent of the Lake Erie. The Clover Leaf officials came in a special car. All of the officials dined at noon at the Bliss Hotel. Itis understood that under the new arrangement, should it be carried out, one of the present passenger depots, probably the Clover Leaf, would be used for a union passenger station The passenger station at the other railroad, would be used as one of the freight houses. It is suggested that a switch engine would probably be sent to Bluffton and be kept there. Some new track would bo laid in order io afford better switching facilities. A similar unification plan will go into effect on August 1 at Frankfort, where both the Clover. Leaf and Lake Erie roads will combine. . —a Gene Sarazen. P. G.
