TRLAStT.ES OF IKE KINGDOM LKSSC.M TJi:iT Matthew 13:14-40; 14 '..OLDEN TEXT Every good gilt an( ri?ry perfect 141ft is from above, an( i-c.ndh down from the Father of. lights With wliom 15 r.o variableness, neithel :-l:adow of turnins. .tames 1:17.
Hidden treasure! lliere is someinc. about it that catches our imaginations at:tl stirs our expectancy ol discovering f.rcat riches. Men are ruiisiantly ruing on expeditions to Mirk out lat.t treasure. Others are r Staged in study and research to briitr; out now treasures in nature or in the realm of learning or art. ' Why not stir up a little excitement about the unbelievably rich treasures which are hid in Christ and in the life of faith in Him? It is not hidden, except to the eye of unbelief, but it is greatly neglected and all but forgotten by many. The Scripture portions assigned far our lesson are not aswell adapted to it as one could wish, but we may make good ute ol them. We learn here: I. The Cost c.f Redemption (13:44!ti). Undoubtedly the lesson cominillee 'i. id hi mind the usual interpretation J these parables, which presents lite sinner as the one seeking the treasure ai:rl giving up all . that he may h-.va Christ. While it is true that our redemption is worth more than anything ' eUe in all the world and that the Christian would gladly set aside (or would he?) everything for Christ's ?al;e, yet that does not fulfill the thought of this parable. After all, tvhat has a sinner (whose own righteousness is described in Scripture as "filthy rags") to sell in order to obtain redemption?' And is it for s-ile? (See F.ph. 2:8). v Obviously, we here iiave the Saviour with His all-seeing eye and loving heart noting in fallen humanity the pearl of great price, His own Church. He then gives up all the flory He had with the Father,
:omes to Hie eartn, ana even oe- i comes sin fur v.s that He may bring ! us to God. ' I Salvation in Christ is no little j fhing, not something which was purchased wiih gold of silver, but wilh the precious blood 'of Chn::t. We flight to value it Mg'Aly, and because we are bought with such a

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Soul1' is the Subject of the Les-son-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, February 18. , The Golden Text is: "Truly my soul waileth upon God: from htm cometh my salvation" (Psalms 62:1). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, tie good to them that bate you, and pray for tlicm which dcjpitrfully use vou.and persecute you; That ve may be the children of your Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 5:53-45). "Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law" (Romans 13:10). Tim Lesson-Sermon" also includes the following- passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" bv Mary Baker Eddy: "It should be. thoroughly understood that all men have one Mind, one God and Father, one Life. Truth, and Love. Mankind will become perfect in proportion as this fact becomes apparent, war will cease and the true brotherhood of man will be established" (p. 467). "When we realize that there is one Mind, the divine law of lovim' onv neighbor aa ourselves is unfolded" (p. 205).
a safety device. It is a living, vi
brant power that sends us out seeking the best because it is good. It leads us into choosing the Christ way. not for the reason of safety but that we might have
I peace. It sends us out to serve not
for gain or reward, but that wp might lift up Christ. Morning Worship at 10:35 A. M. Youth Fellowship at 6.30 P. M. Evening Worship at 7:30 P. M. Prayer meeting 011 Wednesday at 7:30 P. II.

II. The Heart of Compassion (14: , 13-16). j The One who wa3 willing to die that men might have eternal lifo was not unmindful of their need of His mercy and grace for their daily problems. Jesus nof only died that we might have redemption from sin, but lie lived (yes, and lives now!) with lender-hearted compassion toward those in need. He who is the living Bread was' not willing ili.tt meu s.houkl hunger for their daily bread. The disciples : i'v only one .solution 1o send (hem ..way, but. Je".i.i3 said. "They need not deparl." I One is fearful that the church has been all (no quick about sending the needy away to some social agency or community charity, when it should have won tlieir confidence by its compassion, and then brought them to Chr.ht.

THE PRAYER OF A NATION
When to anger we are stirred, By a hasty, thoughtless word, And for a quick retort we're ready Dear Lord, hold Thou us steady. When we strive for naught but good, Yet find ourselves misunderstood, Folks to criticize so ready, Dear Lord, hold thou us steady. If fortune crowns a brave endeavor, Lands flatter ,us. and call us "clever" And pride inclines us to be "heady" Then, dear Lord, oh, hold us steady. When griefs and sorrows deep o'erlake us, Our trusted friends seem to forsake us, Still know we One, whose love is ready To hold us close, and hold us steady. A new day dawns bright before us, God's loving care, as ever, o'er us. Whate'er betide we know Thou art ready To say, "Fear not, I'll hold thee steady!"
To every follower of our Lord I here comes a moment when the Master places His hand on his shoulder and says, , "Lift up your eyes. Behold the fields, white unto harvest." It is the prelude to the later charge, "Go make disciples." Whoever fellowships with the Savior and experiences the joy of His saving love will inevitably find himself asking the question, "Howscan I best share this great salvation with others?" No greater honor conies to man than to he called into the Lord's service and asked to bring to a lost world His invitation to life eternal. To this call some respond in the words of the prophet, "Here am I, Lord, send me." These go into full-time service, some at home, others abroad! Still others respond, "Use me, Lord, in whatever way I can be uf service i,n Thy Kingdom." The number of these is very great. In congregations we find them inviting- others, instructing the young, encouraging I he tired, stimulating the laggards, comforting the sorrowing, supporting; every effort to reach the unsaved and to share ih them the unspeakable love of Christ.
Son of the living ("Jod, O call us Once and again to follow Thee; And give us strength, whate'er befall us, Thy true disciples still to he. . '
