KjndavSchool K Lesson 1 tor October 19 - H, E PARABLB OF the 60WER ■gH. T — th Bon fur Ouod ■^B 'vti-w MEI’IA 1 K AND SENIOR PEOPLE AND ADDLT May I ln.pruv. the bull ■ ■Tteiuetrod of teaching by parable. net employed by Je#ua until tire had aet tt.elr heart, again.! |K". When, in the light of His won IBertin «' rU ’ !, “*- v ‘ urne<l Hl '“ IHnd attributed Hl. works to the Devil 3:*’2) He denounced them in terms and began to teach HKrai by parables In fulfillment of d :ll'. The parabolic method of makes clear the truth to who lute it and conceals It from who dislike It. A great multitude gathered to Him 81, .he seaside (v. 1). so that, In order escape the pressure of the crowd, was Obliged to enter a bout. From boat as a pulpit He taught many K :C| , in parables. In this parable the and the seed are the same in all Hutaires. but the results are entirely The difference lies In the of the soil. The central pur the teaching of this parable Is that the results of preaching Word depend upon the condition the human heart. ■ 11. Th* Waysid* (vv. 4; 15). ■ I The wayside means the track beaten by the hoofs of animals and the vt men. Because the soli was tinand uncultivated the seed not get beneath the surface, was devoured by the fowls ■that came along (v. 4). The great taught here Is that the heart unand herd Is not fit soil for the Such a heart It penetrates but lies loosely upon the surface, ■it Is not recognized as God's means restoring them unto Himself. ■sos some wuy to snatch away the The fowls that devour the seed the agents of Satan (v. 15). K I Ij. Th* Stony Ground (vv. 5,0; 18, Hr>. I I This means not stones mixed with but stones with a thin layer of ■ sell on them. With such conditions a Bleed springs up quickly and likewise ■scorches quickly, as it has not much ■depth. The great lesson is that hearts ■superficially Impressed receive the MWurd with Joy. but when affliction or ■ persecution arises for the Word's sake, ■immediately they are offended. They ■ wither away and die. I I 111, Ths Thorny Ground (vv. 7; 18, ■ 1»). j I In this ease the ground is good, but ■ has thorns in it. It is mellow enough ■ and has sufficient depth, but lias not ■ b»en cleaned of the thorns. Such ■ really hear the Word, but “the cares ■of this w orld, and the deceltfulness of ■ riches, and the lusts of other' things ■ entering In, choke the Word, and it ■ becometh unfruitful” (v. 19). The ■ thorny ground hearers of this age are ■ those: I 1. Who are so Immersed in worldli- ■ ness, business and anxious cares that ■ the good seed cannot mature. 2. Who are rich. Anxious care in ■ business bring, riches and the effect I of riches Is to blunt the spiritual per- ■ ceptlon of men and women, thereby ■ rendering them unsusceptible to the ■ call of God, to higher things in life. 3. Who are running after the pleas- ■ ores of life. All these things choke ■ the Word. Many of the enjoyments I of the world may be innocent in them- ■ selves, but they attract so much attenI tion and consume so much energy nnd ■ time that one ha. not time for Bible ■ reading, meditation .nd prayer. IV. Th. Good Ground (vv. 8; 20). I This ground differs from all the rest. E It Is soft and mellow, deep and moist; therefore, Is capable of bringing forth fruit, some an hundred, some sixty fad some thirty-fold, indicating different degrees of fruitfulness even oi the good ground. In the measure that the heart 1. kept free from worldllaess, riches and pleasure, the good •eed matures. Blaming Nature Tou fall into the very common mistake of charging upon nature matters with which .he has not the smallrat connection, and for which she is In no way responsible.

50,000 IN LIFE-SAVING SERVICE OF RED CROSS Additional 50,000 Water Safety Experts Probable Gain of Summer Campaign. A boy watched an expert give a cluse a lesson In the way to revive a person unconscious from water immersion. The next day the boy tried it on a bathing companion and saved bis life. Such a boy justifies all the effort and the cost of the Life-Saving Service. American Red Cross officials declare. The Red Cross method of restoring partly drowned persons Is so simple that the continual large sacrifice of life must decrease as an informed public insists upon general instruction in prone pressure practice to induce respiration. The Red Cross Life-Saving Service tn every part of the country, summer and winter, is engaged in teaching this method as an integral part of swimming and life-saving. Thia service has grown from a single expert in 1914 to a corps of almost 50.000 active life-savers. In this tenth year of the work it is predicted that fully 50.000 more experts will be eligible for membership in the corps. This large accession In a single year is confidently expected as the result of the campaign among 22,000 troops of Boy Scouts under a plan to qualify at least two life-guards In each troop. During the past year 4,746 men, 1,374 women, 9,731 boys and girls successfully passed the rigid tests of the Red Cross —an increase of 5,331 over 1923. Intensive instruction is developing hundreds of qualified examiners for the Red Cross Life-Saving Corps, who supplement the teaching staff maintained by the national organization. The cause of water safety is therefore penetrating to new sections and eventually will cover all American territory. Recognition of this Red Cross service for humanity is growing apace At the request of the War Department every military training camp had lifesaving instruction last summer. Municipalities have adopted the Red Cross course, public and private schools are offering it to students, business, civic and athletic organizations are promoting campaigns, and police departments are making it a part of the conditioning process for their recruits. Volunteer life-savers throughout the country, the American Red Cross reports, are eagerly advancing the cause of water safety, 388 volunteers receiving medals for giving from 200 to 300! hours* service in two or three years. In addition 36 rescue bars to medals were awarded members of the Red Cross Corps who saved one or more lives during the year. It is for the work and extension of life-saving that continued support through memberships is sought, and the American Red Cross urges all persons to join or renew membership during the enrollment campaign opening Armistice Day, November IL Red Cross Invites All Into Neutral Army of Service There are 3.059 counties in the United States and more than 3,500 Chapters of the American Red Cross. The Chapter is the local unit of the national organization, formed to carry out the program, services and policies of the Red Cross. The industry of these 3.500 local units is a voluntary and steady outpouring of well-doing and sympathy which softens human suffering and distress wherever it’ arises. This work is absolutely neutral, for the Red Cross knows no race, no creed, no color. The strength of the American Red Cross being in its Chapters, the or-1 ganization annually invites the peo- ■ pie to join or renew their member-1 ship during a Roll Call which always begins on Armistice Day, November 11. i “It is this annual enlistment of mil-1 Hons of Americans under the banner of the American Red Cross which makes possible the continued work of this great and democratic legion of; mercy," says Judge John Barton I Payne, head of the national organize-| tion. “Membership in the Red Cross is a privilege within the reach of everyone. The need for service grows more insistent each year. To keep pace with the demands which come from every section of our country, we must have the people’s loyal support Our capacity for service in the year to come will be limited only by the extent to which we receive sup-: port for our work in the coming Roll Call.” . ' The invitation of the American Red Cross Is unlimited. The enrollment period. Armistice Day to Thanksgiving, is everyone's opportunity to join. Annual Summons to Service The annual nation-wide Roll Call of the American Red Cross to enroll members for 1925 will open on Nov. IL the anniversary of that tense and never-to-be-forgoten Armistice Day * six years ago, which silenced the crashing arms of the World War. The enrollment will continue for 17 days, ; through Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27. ' Preliminary to the Roll Call period will come Red Cross Sunday. Nov. 9. During the 17 days set aside for the enrollment more than 3,500 Chapters of the Red Cross and their thousands of branches will invite the people to join the Red Cross or renew their membership. |

British Campaign Is Becoming Very Bitter London. Oct. 18—(Special to Daily Demorat)—Britain's briefest political j campaign became about, its bitterest , today. Lenders of all parties emulated the most extreme American stump speakers in hurling vitriolic and coupler charges. Pulic apathy has changed to red hot Interest. David Lloyd Gemgc, with his fiery 1 Welsh tongue, leads in excoriating the government’s record, while the conservative foemen. Winston Churc- , hill and Lord Birkenhead are quite i as bitter, charging Ramsay MacDonald with stupidity nnd humbug and ; alleging the labor government is affiliated with Moscow. ' This charge aroused the ire of Prime Minister MacDonald, who was , not too fatigued at the end of a long I automobile tour which left him al- [ most speechless, to retort: "The conservatives are on the verge of disgrace and defeat and are i lying consistently about labor. Why can't they fight intellectually? It , should be their principles against - ours. Instead they are sniffing and ' snarling like mangy dogs around garbage." GARY CITIZENS LOSE APPEAL IN RUM RING CASE (Continued from Page One) county prosecutor, and Roswell Johnson, mayor of Gary, removed from office. Attorney General IT. S. Lesli de-’ dared today. A petition for removal of Kindler filed by the state is pending in the* supreme court. Lesli said the court deferred action on the petition at the time of his conviction pending outcome of appeal. l He will ask the supreme court for an. immediate ruling on the petition, he! said. Appointment of a successor in , the event of his removal is up to the, governor. said that Indiana law provides for immediate removal of a mayor upon conviction on a federal charge. Johnson’s case will not be pushed, however, Lesh said, until disposition i ! is made of his petition for rehearing , by the appeals court. If he i s deposed the city controller becomes mayor. o—WILL PICK SEED CORN FOR PRIZE (Continued from Page One) Bank of Berne are asked to select ai ! least one bushel of seed corn from : their acre, in turning selecting a tenear sample from this seed corn for a show also to be held in January. 1 The three boys who make the highest, grades in the contest, yield, show I sample, economy of production and record considered, will be given free trips to Purdue to the club roundup next May. o PLANS DRAWN FOR ADDITION TO CEMETERY (Continued from Page One) plans for the proposed addition and then plan to proceed with the improvement sometime next year.

It is proposed to lay out the new addition first set out trees and shrubbery and beautify the grounds before the place is opened for burial purposes. Other improvements and means of beautification are being discussed by the trustees. Are Curbing Driveways This year the cemetery trustees are beautifying the cemetery by installing curbing along the driveways throughout the place. They also hope to build a small bridge across the little artificial lake, which, when the new addition i a opened, will be in about the center of the burial grounds. Family burial lots in Maplewood cemetery sell from slls to $l6O and 'single graves from sl6 to $25. o TAKE RELIGIOUS CENSUS SUNDAY (Continued from Page One) row afternoon, at 1:30 sharp, at the Methodist Church, where instructions ( will be given.

The democratic candiduti wound up his Illinois campaign last night with three speeches in the foreign quarter of Chicago. In the Bohemian [ Jewish and Polish settlements he laid down his platform of American ism, paid tribute to Woodrow Wilson whom he declared had welded the nations of the world closer together than they had ever been before, and j pointed to the accomplishments for labor during the eight years of the Wilson administration.
