SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
By REV. M. P. IIODCES
December 8, 1922
Subject: Jesus Sending Out Mis
sionaries.?Luke 10:1-17.
Golden Text: Luke 10:2.
Time: Close of 29 A. D.
Place: Peres.
Matthew, Mark and Luke record
die sending out of the twelve apostles
to preach the gospel of the kingdom,
heal the sick, cast out demons and
eleanse lepers; but in the gospel ac
cording to Luke is the record given
of the sending out of the seventy.
The sending out of the seventy occur
red about a year later. There is no
record of any of the twelve being in
the group of the seventy; for it is
written he sent out "other seventy
also." . The twelve were sent to take
the message of salvation to the "lost
sheep of the house ef Israel"; but
the mission of the seventy seems to
have been a different one, they had a
different mission. Our Lord was pre
paring to make his last journey to
Jerusalem; and_he sent the seventy
e"two and two before his face into
every city and place, whither he him
, self would come". They were in a
sense his forerunners and were on a
hurried mission.
Sending them "two and two" has
its lesson for us, and for every age in
the church. Two well matched, con
secrated men can do more effective
work for the Master than one by him
self. Two men yoked together for
the devil can do more to tear down
than one by himslef. Two together
can council one another either for
good or bad. /
"The harvest truly is (treat, but the
laborers are few", is applicable in all
ages and all lands, especially is this
true hi all mission fields. There are
millions of souls today ready to hear
the pure gospel of the Son of God if
only some one will go and tell them.
There are many workers; but the
question may be asked, where are
the real active soul winners? To be
a good fisherman a man needs to know
something about the water, fish and
bait. We need to pray for laborers
in the field. We need to pray that
God will call out and send men who
love the pure Word of God. Men
who believe in the vicarious suffering
of our Lord. Men who believe in the
fundamental doctrines of the old
Book. The church today needs to go'
to God in an earnest prayer'that He
will send to some other task all the
destructive critics, those who would
do away with the Divinity of our
Lord, the atonement and resurrection.
This class of cranks are abroad in the
land and what a glad day for the
when they bre no more. Would Jesus
Christ send out men to tell the
church and the cause of righteousness
heathen of a Christ no better than any
other good rrr>n? - Would he send out
men to pr- -/-h a gospel of their own
making? No christian believes for
one moment that he would do such a
thing.
Some* folks seem to think, that
since the Master sent these men with
out purse, or-scrip, or shoes, mission
aries should be sent the same way
today. This is not so. Circumstan
ces have greatly changed since that
day. A study of scriptures shovf that
at a later date Jesus himself changed
this order. Such notions are born of
pure stinginess. The seventy were in
their own land and among their own
t people; today we send our mission
varies into strange lands, among
-strange people; and we are rich in this
world's goods and well able to send
t all the workers needed and to provide
p for their every need. Some christians
could learn a profitable lesson from
the business world. The best business
houses today take the best care of
their men in hard places. Why should
the church of Jesus Christ think of
doing less than the business world?
If the church is satisfied with less it
Is a sin that iqust be repented of.
me church is gradually learning this
lesson but it is a slow process. The
church today could save men and
money by putting more of both into
the field; both at home and abroad.
These seventy were not expected
to trot around from house to house.
They were to find a son of peace and
?here abide. They were to feel free
in using the hospitality of that home.
They were to eat and drink what was
set before them and never feel it was
~a burden on the home. Many good
sermons are spoiled when the
preacher goes from place to place
eating big dinners and suppers. In
revivals is this true. If more time
was speiit in the closet with God there
would often be more results from the
message. It is a bit of interesting
reading when we come to the place
where they are told to shake from
their feet the dust against any place
failing to receive them. Instance;
might be sighted, if time and space
permitted, where this has been done
during the past century. Where the
gospel message was received by one
lone man, the others abusing, even to
the point of endangering the life of
the messenger. The dust from the
feet of God's servant was shaken off
against them. To this day the village
is in ruins as a testimoney against
them.
This story has fine ending. "The
seventy returned again with joy, say
ing, Lord even the devils ara subject
unto us through thy name". Jesus
bids them not to rejoice in this thing
alone, "But rather rejoice because
their names ara written in heaven."
There is something greater than heal
ing sick folks and casting out demons
and performing miracles. Being
children of the Highest and having
our names written down in the
Lamb's book of life in heaven is the
climax of all the great and small
things done in the Master's name. Is
your name written there?
After these seventy had delivered
the? message, the message given
them from the Master, their duty was
done. They were to pronounce the
judgment of God against those who
rejected them and their message. It
was to be done, not with rage, and
acorn but with pity and compassion
for their poor benighted souls. It
shall be a witness for Christ's mes
sengers that they have been where
sent with the message of salvation.
Tell them plainly and be sure of it,
that the "kingdofn of God is come
nigh unto you." There was a fair
offer made them and if they did not
heed, it was their own fault, There*
arp hosts of ^people today rejecting
the mesage as did these people to
whom the seventy preached. Some
times professed christians treat the
message and messenger with absolute
indifference. Better for Sodom and
the other cities against whom the
wrath of God was hurled than that
city or town today that rejects the
message and the messenger. One of
the phophets speaks of day coming
when there will be a famine, not for
want of bread and water, but a fam
ine for want of the word of God. God
forbid that day should ever come to
any of us. Jesus found those while
on earth whom he could send out be
fore him. Thanks be unto him that
he can still find faithful men and
women whom he can call and send to
the hard places.

A donkey, a train
and an open switch
A train once started for a distant city. At the
same time, a donkey started.
The engine, used every ounce of steam, snorted
off through the countryside, every valve open, every
seam strained.
But in her madness of speed, the engine over
looked an open switch and the train was demolished.
The donkey took his time and arrived at the distant
city several hours later, and partook of a bag of oats.
Live high and spend all?and you'll strike an
open switch some day. But save your energy and
your substance and you'll get there?some time.
Come in and start that savings account.
