< htt-r.4ti''idl Unuurm THI UL&JWBMatwI . SCRIPTURE: Mark 4; Luke 15:11-24. DEVOTIONAL READING: Matthew 13:10-1?. WildOatsHarvest Lesson for March 6, 1949 ALL RELIGIOUS teachers of Jesus' time used parables. But the great difference between Jesus' parables and those of his contemporaries, a s Rabbi Klausner says, is that his were remembered and j :? theirs were not. People mil i- ■: ■ ■ ■ ber a story who & cannot take in a leeture. Jesus almost never told "wondertales.” His parables are not in the Dr. Foreman least like Grimm’s fairy tales or Alice in Wonderland. Mostly they are about simple ordinary happenings, and practically always about living people or things. If you said "Kingdom of God" to the average religious person of Jesus’ time, he would have replied. “Oh, yes, that wonderful time! The time ' when these Roman soldiers will be blasted off the earth by the terrible breath of God, the time when every grape will yield barrels of wine and a single grain of wheat can be ground into bushels of flour —the Miracle Age!” The Kingdom of God as Jesus proclaimed it — God’s Ideal World - was something quite different from that. Jesus illustrated it not with fanciful wild pictures, but with stories from real life, from the field or the farmhouse. The Kingdom of God is a kingdom of law, not of happen-so or of magic wands. Jesus was fond of comparing God’s Kingdom to growing plants. Every plant is a miracle, it is evidence of God's creative power; bet ( plants do not grow overnight, they grow by the laws which the creator made in them.

Wild Sowing AS WE SAW last week, the most important feature of the Ideal World.'or of any world, is the quality of the people in it. So most of Jesus’ parables were about people, one of the most famous being, this one of the “prodigal son.” (“Prodigal” of course does not mean wicked or repentant, but wasteful, reckless with money or other things.) You could find many faults in that young man. One of them — the fault that nearly killed him — was that if he had a calendar he never looked at it. If you take a good lock at a calendar you will always notice that there is another day after this one—another month, another year. Cut the prodigal never tbirks about tomorrow, only about today. He sows his wild oats becau't he has fun doing it. He ca i spy “So what'” fast enough but he h > never asked the question, "— aid then what?” Childish, isn't it? Some people even argue that it to a good thing to sow wild •at*, on the theory that the prodigal gets it out of his system and is afterwards a better man. Nonsense! Is it better for your education to spend several years Irnmirg things wrong? Is it bet ter for a garden to let it grow up in weeds for the first three weeks? Is it better for a man's health to tpend his chiidbocd years on a sickbed? That's no more silly than to say that a man is morally better fc< having been immoral for a while first. • • • Prodigal Nattoa IT HAS EVEN been said that we »eve a prodigal-son civilization." Out generation is pretty busy sowjiH wild oats We waste the natural resources of the earth. Drinkii.t has become encouraged by law and made glamorous by the movies, spend more on liquor than on schools. More money is spent on a Single day's horse-racing at a big track than a whole state or province fends on education in a year.
