Dr. Miller is a highly educated, refined, polished and spiritual man. We urge every member and friend of our church Our Collections By Harlowe R. Hoyt There is not a person in the whole world who has come to adult years but has been a collector at some time or other during his life. Stamps, coins, butterflies. eggs, tobacco tags—any of a thousand and one things may have attracted them and led them into the ranks of collectors. Sometimes these childish inclinations last throughout maturer years and we find the individual one who assembles rare volumes and the like until the very end. Collecting is an instinct which is part of the human makeup Some specialize in collecting but one thing money. They make it their sole ambition in life: and while they may accumulate great wegllh and leave it for coming generations to waste, they are so devoted to the task of money making that they neglect the better tilings of life. Such was the ' case in the days when Jesus preached “The Sermon on the Mount.” Conditions are just the i same today. Who lives the richer and fuller life —the man who holds his nose to the grindstone amassing mil- | lions upon millions, or the man who lives with other desires besides those of making money? Sometimes —but rarely —you find ' certain rich men endowed with the ability to enjoy life as well as business. But these are isolated instances. And so the answer i is he who can claim a full life in all things. All of us shoul I be collectors through life —not collectors of the almighty dollar, but of good hooks, good paintings, good must”, and other cultural assets. For by cultural assets is the mind developed; and as the mind is deve'oped, so the soul attunes itself to fine things and a deeper appreciation of the infinite. Let us make our collections worth while and share them with those less blessed than ourselves. i

Another custom condemned by Jesus at this time was that of ostentatious fasting. The Pharisees fasted twice a week in observance of the days when Moses ascended and descended Mt. Sinai, making it a formal ceremony. In mourning, the Israelites donned sackcloth and scattered ashes cn their heads, rending their garments with wild cries. Jesus urged that fsating be unostenattious and sincere.

Sunday School ? QUESTIONS ? God's Kingdom First QUESTIONS • 1. When and where did the i incidents of today's lesson occur? 2. Into how many portions may the sermon be divided? 3. What did the first portion teach? 4. What does the portion toi day teach? 5. What is taught in the third division of the sermon? 6. What is the “Sermon on the Mount" and “The Sermon on the Plain?" 7. Explain how they come to ho. S. What did Jesus urge coni cerning treasures of earth? 9. What warning did ho issue i against prayers? 10. How did Jesus’ advice regarding almsgiving compare with I the Jewish customs of his day? ANSWERS 1. The lesson today continues that of last week —the Sermon on the Mount. It was delivered on the Horns of Hattin in midsummer of 28 A. D., the second year of Christ's ministry. 2. The Sermon on the Mount naturally divided itself into thre ■ parts. 3. The first portion of the sermon described the divine way of living on earth—something Jesus had come to teach. 4. Today's portion teaches the necessity of putting God's kingdom first. 5. In the third division is taught charitable judgment and abstemiousness. 6. The “Sermon on the Mount" is that portion of Matthew which embraces the sermon delivered by Jesus on the Horns of Hattin. “The Sermon on the Plain" is that portion of Luke which contains parallel passages found in Luke 6: 20-40. 7. "The Sermon on the Mount" was delivered by Jesus on a level i spot on the Horns of Hattin. a two-peaked hill about sixty feet high. Luke refers to it as “on a i level place." In the King James’ version, this was erroneously ret. j tiered into “in the plain." which has caused it to be termed "The ■ Sermon on the Plain.” The two probably are reports of the sam discourse by different recorders. 8. Not to lay up treasures on earth, since we cannot take them with us. but to lay up treasurers iin heaven by good deeds and a . godly life. 9. Means warned against ostentatious, formal and distrustful prayers. These were common faults of the Pharisees, who made prayer a formal habit without feeling or thought as the result of incessant repetitions. 10. Jesus urged that charity be unostentatious. The Pharisees placed their alms in trumpetshaped boxes in the temple so that they fell with a clang and clatter to attract attention. Jesus taught that charity should be from th.heart and not for purposes of playo First United Brethren Charles J. Roberts, minister. We were all greatly pleased with the large increase in attendance at the morning services on last Sunday. We are expecti- g the atendance to be as large or larger on next Sunday.

“Why are ye anxious concerning raiment?” he asked. "Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin. Let Solomon in al! his glory was not arrayed as one of these. Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles? Every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. Therefore, by their fruits ye shall know them.”

SERVICE is only a word, yet one of the most beautiful words in our language. It suggests loyalty in time of need, strength in times of weakness and comfort in times of sorrow.
