Not having enough men to garner the crop, the husbandman went again to the market place to find other workmen. These agreed to work for him and he promised to pay them what was right. Again, as the work progressed slowly, he sought more help at noon and these came to aid him. And finally, he went late in the afternoon and hired what stragglers were left there.

At last, the day ended and the grapes were all gathered. The husbandman called his steward to nim. "Pay each of those who have worked for me this day," he commanded, "Beginning with those whom I hired in the morning and ending with those who came to the vineyard last. And to each of them, pay one shilling for their labor.” This the steward proceeded to do.

Each of us labors not alone for the money that I is to be made through our labor. In addition, each seeks recognition in I 1 praise and admiration of one’s fel-' ( low men for a task well done, in ' this, oftentimes, is danger. For (there is a likelihood for one to be-I I come self-seeking and arrogant. , 'Humility is a trait that must ibe ' nourished. There is danger in Ibeing I too humible. Uriah Heep, most despicable of hypocrites propounded' by Charles iDickens, had for his (motto: “I am very ’um'ble.’ He traded on his humility. He was selfseeking through it. And the very trait he professed was not in him. ( Then there is danger of not rec- j j ognizing what humility really ; means. Humility is an understand- ( ing of one’s self —a realization as to comparative values. We may be able to do one single thing super- j latively well, but we should not, i hesitate to recognize ability along thia same line in others. Nor should we belittle them because we feel a pang of jealousy now and then. | ■Humility means that we should re- ! eeive praise gracefully and assimil- ( ate it so that it will not unbalance ius to such an extent that we are unilble to find that happy medium that means the well balanced man. If we are not too humble, our filends will recognize us as our true worth, if we are not self-seeking, they will credit, us with our accomplishments without questioning us for they will love us for the things ■we do and the manner in which we look (back upon our accomplishments. Be neither humible nor self-seek-ing, Be wise.

When the wages were known, the men who had first come to the vineyard were loud in their expostulations. They had worked all day, they declared, and received no more for their toil than those who have come late in the afternoon, "Is it not lawful for me to do as I wish with my own?” the husbandman asked. So Christ taught that the last shall be first and first last.

I Sunday School ? QUESTIONS ? The Parable of the Vineyard QUESTIONS 1. When and where did the inI cidents of today’s lesson occur? 2. What parable did Jesus re’’late to the disciples at this time? 3. What was that parable? 4. What conclusion did Jesus draw from it? 5. What happened as Jesus and His disciples continued on their way to Jerusalem? 6. What request did Salome, mother of James and John, make of Jesus? 7. What did Jesus answer? 8. How did the disciples receive i this request? 9. What did Jesus say to them II in reply? > | 10. What followed this incident? !| ANSWERS I. If The incidents of today’s less- . on occurred in March. 30 A. D., in I Perea and Jericho. 2. As the group traveled along the road on their way back to Jerusalem. Jesus told them the parable 1 of the vineyard. ■ 3 A husbandman desiring help for his vineyard engaged men to work all day for a shilling. Three times, , as the day passed, he hired more men, the last group as late as 5 p. m. When the time came to pay them, he paid ail alike, declaring that he had a right to do as he pleased with his own. 4. Peter had asked what reward was to be given those who had worked with Jesus from the beginning. The parable was an answer that all, who followed him. would he rewarded in equal measure, if they but professed him and serv- , ed God. j 5. As they continued on their ( way, Jesus told them of the api proaching crucifixion and the subsequent resurrection. 6. Salome, wife of Zebedee. and ( mother of James and John, came j to Jesus with the request that in his kingdom her two sons might | sit on either hand of him. 7. "Can you drink the cup I am ( to drink?” Jesus asked. "We can.” j they said. "To sit on either hand ! is not mine to’give," he replied. “It is for them for whom it hath been I prepared of my father.” | 8. When the other disciples heard of this request, they were indignant and outspoken in their anger against the two. 9. Jesus pointed out that whoever would become great among them should be their minister and I wlioever would become first among them should be their servant. 10. The group continued on its | way until they reached the outskirts of Jerusalem. o DOLLAR FALLS BELOW PARITY — (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) set up several months ago to con- . trol the dollar's value. Despite the decline in the dollar, accompanied by widespread rumors ( of a further devaluation of the dollar, a raising of the current $35 per ounce buying price for gold or inflationary monetary steps, possibilities of a large movement of gold out of the United States were discounted. The government’s newly revalued gold stocks on April 18 reached a new record high level of $7,745,744,495, or about $1.25 for each dollar of American money outstanding. Even though billions of dollars of gold were to leave the United States, the American dollar could still be backed by gold a

hundred cents on the dollar. Not one cent of the $2,000,000,000 government stabilization fund set up early this year out of the profits of the dollar devaluation is believed to have been spent in exchange operations. o STRIKERS HEAR MRS. PINCHOT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Blue Eagle. "When the administrator refused i to force the steel trust to obey the law, it was a signal that the NRA I was only to pile up profits for - Wall street." Mrs. Pinchot congratulated the strikers for demanding the right to , be represented in wage negotiations by the American Federation of Full Fashioned Hosiery Works ers. of which she is an honorary member. ! She declined to join the ranks of striking picketers and left by train > shortly after her address. The meeting was sponsored by ~ the Central Labor Union. Indiana j State Federation of Labor and the Railroad Brotherhood as a gesture , of sympathy to strikes at the Real ( Silk, Fulton and National Hosiery , mills here. i The three companies have refus- . ed to recognize the hosiery work- . ers’ union under the contention that all employes voted last Octo- ( her to be represented by the com- ; pany-sponsored employes mutual . benefit association. The question of representation ( now is pending before the national ilabor board. I I 0 SERIOUS VIEW OF STATEMENT (CONTINUED FROM rAGE ONE) Japan would be welcomed. But ’, as Geneva is but the shell of the I organization, and its members I have their own problems in the I far east, there was some specula- ’: tion whether a "strong stand” 1 could be adopted. 1 1 In its efforts to curb Japan's ' j penetration into Manchuria, the 1 1 league suffered a severe defeat i and loss of prestige it could ill ' afford. Now. with Japan having i announced its withdrawal from ’ i the league, and taking the posiI tion that the league has no con- ! cem with Japan’s affairs, the league's position is made doubly j difficult. Initiative in raising the entire I far eastern problem at the May ■ ( 14 meeting was expected to come j from Wellington Koo, Chinese ( minister at Paris. Even before the Japanese prenouncements of i this week Koo had intimated that ihe would make every effort to ; bring China’s troubles up before ! the committee. Until the latest developments, it had been indicated that the meeting would be one in which I some delegates demanded that as a practical matter, aside from the diplomatic niceties, league mem- ( bers ought to recognize Manchu- ' kuo. But now. with league officials Believing that Japan is defying I the world, the feeling was that (an approach toward recognition would only be a confession of helplessness. Also the league as a body Is anxious regarding its own plans for reconstruction of China. The Japanese pronouncements apparently included such plans in those over which Japan intended to assert the right of censorship.
