JESI’S AND THE TWELVE LESSON TEXT—Matthew 10:1. 5-8: 11: 1. 25-30. GOLDEN TEXT—Ye are my friends, If ye do whatsoever I command you.— John 15:14. Service for Christ has not always been as impressive and effective as it should be because rt lias lacked conviction and spiritual power. God did not intend it to be the weak and faltering thing that it often is, because of our failure to go God s way. The sending out of the twelve had special significance, and yet it brings forth principles which have a bearing on the service of every believer in Christ. The Servants of Christ — I. Have a Divine Commission (10.

1, 5-8). The twelve disciples had already been called into the Lord's service. Now tney were to be prepared for the service which was ahead. It was a time o! commissioning and empowerment for service. God calls men today to serve Him. lii fact,, there is a very real sense tn which every Christian is called to serve. Let no one try to excuse himself from," that responsibility and privilege.' To s&ni comes a special call to leave their accustomed daily work and luinch out into a broader service fcf-' dhrist. When that time comesFwt may go forth with the assuranCe'that the power of a divine Saviour goes with us. The twelve disciples had some special powers which iwejdo not have and do not need. bGod suits the power to the need, and'tb.at means that in every circumslajice we may look to Him with and go on. One JBf our difficulties in dealing with sifch matters as spiritual power is that we .interpret the things of the realm of the spirit by physical standards and measurements. We are so quick to say "I cannot" on the basis

jof our logical human reasoning. I 'when in appreciation of the power of God which is operative on our I behalf vyoyld make us say with confidence,‘ J can.” But, sadly enough, having left God out of our reckon- . ing. find that it is indeed true ■ that we cannot. Serving Christ means doing so in ! His pojjrer, and with His grace upon us. h'ptiifng less will do! Nothing !' more i? needed! 11. lietlare a Divine Revelation (11:1, fc-27). The messenger's responsibility ; and importance are largely determined by the nature of the message he' has to convey. Particularly is that.true where the message must pass titrough his personality and thus he proclaimed. The nations of the earth ehoose their most able men ; to be their ambassadors and grant them full power. The glorious thing about being a messenger for God is that we carry i no ordinary communication. What we have to present is far above the most important message any earthly ambassador could possibly have | to carry. We, the children and servants of God through Jesus Christ, have something direct from the throne of God. He has revealed it (v. 25), and it,seemed good in His sight to . give it'io those who had the childlike faith to believe Him. God's revelation is hidden from those who are wise in their own conceits, who are too proud to come by way of humility and faith. Thank God. some of the wise and mighty

of this world have been willing to j become as little children and learn | at the feet of Jesus. The encouraging thing about it is that the door is open to the simplest believer to trust God. to take the revelation of God's truth in His j Word, and give it out with grace and i power. 111. Extend a Divine Invitation (11:28-301. "Come"—what a blessed word for | the needy and sinful! They are not ‘ to be shut out by their sin, nor to be i hindered by their weakness. The door is open, and the invitation is ; to come. Why not respond? To whom are they to come’' To ■ Jesus. There are times when men can help us. when friends or church officers or the pastor can give us an uplifting word of counsel and encouragement. But for salvation, for a real lifting of the burden fr<?m the shoulders of those "that labor and are heavy laden,” there is no one like J«us. We are privileged to invite people to Jes us, knowing that if they "learn’? of Him (v. 29), they will not only have their loads lifted and find rest, but will enter into a blessed yoke. fellowship with Him in life and service. His is a wholesome or a kindly yoke. ■ That is the meaning of "easy” in verse 30. It is not always easy tb serve Christ, but being yoked with Him in a kindly fellowship of service makes the burden light. The[world is full of tired and discouraged pepple. We who know Ciiristfha e the adgfuate an* 1 er to thfir ijeefi Shall ve not go in Ills name .tn present the truth tn them and >tg4? Jbem to come io Christ?

Dewey Speech Seen As Warning To FDR Home And Foreign Policies Attacked 1 Washington. Feb. 9. — (VPi '' Gov. Thomas E. Dewey’s Lincoln j day speech looked today like a ■' wauling to President Roosevelt to drive a firm political bargain wi'h : Premier Joself V Stalin. The al- ' ternative would be to risk a major foreign politcy dispute with well I organized Republicans. Dewey spoke here last night at the Statler hotel before about 1.21(0 parly leadens. He made a double- | barrelled attack on Mr. Roosevelt's ' home and fbrelgn policies. He enj dorsed the foreign policy program of Sen. Arthur if Vandenberg, R., Mich., which is under such bitter attack in the domestic communist i press as to suggest that Stalin | would balk at it. The reaction of congressional leaders in the audience generally was enthusiastic. For example. Sen. Kenneth S. Wherry of Nebrasf ka. Republican whip, thought Dewey put the Roosevelt administration on notice "to do a better job in foreign relations.”

Dewey didn't get a 190 percent endorsement, however. Sen. Haymond Willis, R., Ind., was lukewarm on the foreign policy section of Dewey's speech but agreed with his discussion on domestic affairs. Mr. Roosevelt doubtless is aware > now of Stalin's ideas on the Van-; denhetg plan. He and the Soviet Union leader ate in conference in | the Black Sea with Prime Minis!-1 er Winston Churchill. The Van- ■ denberg proposal was in two part-: 1. An immediate Anglo-Amer-ican-Russian-Chineee treaty to keep Germany and Japan permanently disarmed. 2. Agreement now that political j settlements in Europe made or he-i ing made in various liberated cotta- i tries be subject to general review after the war. Dewey conceded that opposing! points of view must lie reconciled ■ at the Black Sea conference and ' that we cannot expect to have it aH our way. “But we insist that the decisions'

The time has come for the hard, painstaking 1 labor of translating ideals and generalities into reality and action. "We want to be sure of action to transform the agreements reached at Dumbarton Oaks from pieces of paper into living reality." Dewey said that during three critical months when the representatives of the United States were uttering "pleasant generalities," the clearest call far “constructive action" came from Vandenberg. On the home front, Dewey found a trend toward “totalitarianism." i against which he warned as the i doom of human freedom. He did i not mention Mr. Roosevelt by j name, but attributed to him reeponj sibility for that trend. — • DIVISIONS OF (Continued From Page 1) front in coordination with the!

More than 300,100 Berliners have left the city since the Russians arrived at the Oder, they said. ■The Nazis not only admitted that fierce street fighting was under way in Kuestrin, but said that the Soviets had encircled the fortress town by linking up two bridgeheads on the west bank of the Oder. Kuestrin lies on-the east bank 38 miles east of Berlin. 'The encirclement later was broken. however, Berlin said.
