THE MINISTRY OF JESUS LESSON TEXT-Mark 1:14, II; Luk* 4:18-21; Mark 8.27a. 29. 31 GOLDEN TEXT-I am cam* that they might have life and that they mifht have it more abundantly.—John 10:10. The dawn of a new day had coma! The long-promised and expected Messiah came to break th* 400 year* of silence by His personal presence. We learn of His coming, His life and ministry, His death and resurrection, and find the promise of His coming again in the four Gospels. They are our complete lesson for this Sunday, but we obviously cannot review them in their entirety in our limited space. Our Scripture reference* speak of His ministry in presenting the good news of the gospel to needy mankind. I. The Good News Preached (Mark 1:14, 15). Jesus always honored preaching as the primary and the effective means of spreading the good news of the gospel. The’forerunner, John the Baptist, had borne his witness. Jesus had comej had been baptized, and as John jVas cast into prison, He began to pußsch. “Repent ye and beligve the dßpel.” The key vers* of Mark is 10%: “For even the Son of Man camrnof to be ministered unto, but to minister.” The characteristic word! atf "straightway,” “forthwith,"' and "immediately.” The Greek word thus translated appears about forty times in the book. The Servant of God went quickly about the Father’s business. Christiana. can we say the same for ourselves? ~ 11l The Good News Practiced (Lulfe 4:16-21). Thie daily ministry of Jesus as He lived here on earth is summarized in the .prophecy of His coming which, was given by Isaiah the prophet.'JLs we read these words, we realize that we who profess to follow Him need to learn more of His spirit, of tender and loving service to others. It is significant and appropriate that Jesus’ declaration of Himself as thr-fulfittment of Isaiah 61:1, 2 was in the synagogue oh th* Sabbath day. He met with the people in tliie house and at the time set apaMfor God’s worship. He opposed deadness, the misinterpretation of the truth, the distortion of rehJßrn principles; but He was not, a* sftme would have us believe, a religious free lance who despised the established worship of Hi* people. Hqging been prepared by the thirty yeauj of privacy, and more particularly by the baptism and the temptation in the wilderness, He appeared at the synagogue in Nazareth to declare Himself as the fulfillment of prophecy These who teach that Jesus was only- a young Jewish teacher with a of life have evidently not read the Scriptures. He knew Miirfctlf to be God’s Son come into the world to bring the good news of salvation by Hi* own blood to poor, sin-dhptive, blinded and bruised humanity. He is the Saviour! Look at Isaiah 61:1, 2 and note stopped reading before the end of the sentence. "The day of vengeance of our God” will come when. Christ returns. This is the day of grace. Sinners are urged to acceptTGod’s love now, and thus to escape the terrible day of judgment which is to come. IIL. The Good News Prepared (Mark 8:27a, 29, 31). Jelus preached the gospel of the kingdom. He went about doing goodj, but always He knew Himself to be the Christ, the One who was to die for the sin* of the world and to arise again for the justification of those who put their trust in Him. Even those who deny to our Christ the recognition of His deity, and the devotion of life which is His just due. must, if they are at all intelligent, admit that no man ever lived-who has made such an impact on human history. Even now, unbelieving men speak of Him as the founder of Christianity, a mighty leader, a wonderful example, or an unequalled teacher. It 2* not enough that we stand with the mass of humanity who may thus adnrtre Him, but who do not count HinvA* Saviour and Lord- The question comes to us as it did to the disciples, "Whom say ye thdt 1 am?" “Thou art the Chrjsf-ihls alon# suffices as the foundation for Christian testimony and conduct. Although Jesus was not yet ready to -have His Messilhship proclaimed to the public. He was prepared to teach His disciple* concertv ihg not only that important truth, but of His rejection and death. .. Note the divine "must” (v. JI). Whlje it is true that wicked men showed their hostility toward dur dtod*a»d Ki* Christ by hanging Him Oh Gelvazy’s crte*. yet it wdt to tor our sias that He canto ifito the •world- flto eWss hi* Agktly te represent God's tove to the werid riww toga Arti bbswv to Ged.

Prune and Stake Tomatoes For Yield in Small Area k - ■ < I c-.-y J X 111 lew < ’’w- ' fEh!/ aMHrAt 9 To Prune Tomatoes, All Except Selected Side Shoots Must Be Removed.

The largest yield of tomatoes from a given area of soil can be obtained by setting plants a foot apart and pruning them to a single •tern. This has been shown by experience in market gardens near Boston where early tomatoes are grown on trellises, or stakes. When pruned to a single stem the plants are set twelve inches apart, When pruned to two stems they are placed 21 inches apart, and tests have shown that the single stem planting gives earlier fruit and a heavier total yield. The tomato plant naturally starts with one central shoot or leader. A* soon as the first blossom* have appeared, at each joint made by a leaf with the stem, a branch begin* to grow. If these are allowed to develop, the typical sprawling tomato' bush will result. To prune the plant, the side shoot* or branches are removed before they are four inches long; If left to grow longer, the vigor of the plant i* reduced. If the plant to to

be pruned to two stems, the central stem and one side shoot are allowed to grow, all others being removed. The side shoot cho»en to survive should not be more than 10 inches from the ground. All side shoots are removed to make a single stem plant. Pruning must b* done weekly. Single stem plants ® *1 ue supported by a strong cord stretched from a tall support of any kind, to an anchor on the ground near the plant. Then instead of tying the plant to its support as the stem grows it can be twisted around the cord, which is easier than tieing. Tomato roots spread widely just beneath the soil surface, so that cultivation should never be deep enough to disturb them. Some method of watering during the dry spells is necessary to obtain the best yields, and a mulch should be applied to the soil near the plants if possible. Lack of water causes decayed spots in the fruit opposite the stem, called blossom end rot.
