How Mary Magda i( i: ? .Showed ller Gratitude to Jesu>t i NT ! iK .MEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP ir A Wotnnn'a Grateful Service. y< i ! 'Nil PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC --.Miry Magdalene, Saved and Serving. I. Mary Saved (Luke 8:1, 2). Wliile Jesus anil His disciples' were preaching throughout the villages of C;i!ile?\ Mary and certain other worn ,n heard the good news of salvation were saved. Evil spirits were cast tn!i of then). Mary had been possessed Willi sewn demons. The number seven ii:iiiciites the completeness of her af llii lion, liodily affliction usually ac companied demon possession. Doctor Mnlman says: "It is n cruel error to j ( tin fuse Mary Magdalene with the sin ful woman of whom Luke has just l.ivn writing. Mary had suffered from demon possession, as here stated, but there Is nothing in the gospels to indi cate that she had ever been a woman of notoriously evil life.** So wide spread is tills fttfse Impression that many rescue homes tor fallen women are named unjustly, "Magdalene." II. Mary Ministering (Luke 8:3). Sf.e, with certain women who had been saved from Satan's power, out of n heart of gratitude looked after the comfort of the Lord and lite disciples. These women must have been in easy circumstances, as they were able to buy food and other necessities an(t doubtless, lodging for Jesus and His disciples. These women were the fore runners of that large company of saved women who have throughout the Chris tian centuries been ministering to the Lord through kindness to His minis ters. How poor would be this world without the ministry of godly women. III. Mary's Steadfastness (John 19: 6 After the men and disciples had for saken the Lord a group of faithful women remained at the cross, among whom was Mary Mogdalene. Others lingered, prompted by iwitural affec tion, but she lingered out of grateful love for salvation from Satan's bond age. IV. Mary at the Empty Tomb (John 20:11-18). 1. Mistaken Tears (11-1$). She had come to the tomb to weep and to pay respect to the body of her Lord. She was weeping over what she regarded its a tragic lo6s. In spite of her love und faith, she was In a state of con fusion. If she had known what was revealed to her a short time afterward, *he would not have thus wept She was wwplng because the tomb wai empty, when the real cnuse for weep ing would have been the Lord's body In the tomb. How many times we break our hearts over misunderstand ing. The fact that a living l>ody had walked out of the tomb Instead of the dead body In it should have occasioned rejoicing. The empty tomb is the Christian's ground for hope. -. The Unrecognized Master (vv. 14, IS). She was within sight of the living Lord, yet mourning for Him. Let us look In the right direction and we shall liave our sorrows turned Into Joys. The reason she did n<jt recognize the Lord was that He did not appear as she thought He should. Many times our preconceived notions prevent us from seeing Jesus. 3. Restrained Fcmlllarlty ^t'Vv. 10, IT). The full meaning of Jesus' words when ho forbade Mary to touch HUn perhaps we cannot surely know. The difficulty doubtless Inhered In Mary'g misunderstanding. She seemed to tbU>k thut the same relations Instituted be fore the resurrection could be re sting!. He showed her that He was ascending into glory apd that He should henceforth receive divine wor ship. ?I- Mary Telling the Good News of Resurrection (vv. 17, 18). The need of telling the good news tn the poor despondent disciples wus ?? urgent that there was no time for familiarity. What Joy there must have wen in the hearts of the disciples at this pjxl news. Riches. If thou are rich thou art poor; for, Me an ass, whose back with Ingots hows, thou bearest thy heavy riches hrt a journey, and detth unloads thee. -"Shakespeare. Communism.

Dinston General fMotors Corporation Detroit, Michigan MELLON NOT TALKATIVE MAN Secretary of the Treasury Will Never Make Reputation as a Great ^ Conversationalist. Two Scotsmen, noted for their rar ity of speech, were playing golf. Up to the seventeenth hole neither spoke a word. It began to rain and Sandy ob served: "Shall we quit?" "Chatterbox," muttered his oppo nent, as he drove off the final. Secretary Mellon Is silent like that, writes "Girard" in the Philadelphia Enquirer. If, as our copybooks in formed us. silence is golden, that able banker came by his great wealth In the most natural way. "This is not a talkative cabinet" ? thnt from a Philadelphia coal man often brought into contact with Mr. Hoover and others of the presiden tial family. , "But," he continued, "Secretary Mellon can say less in a day than all the rest of them put together." If a woman can't drive a nail she might try coaxing it. All the world loves a lover. All the world loves to be amused. Elsewhere Sometimes. The village was having Its spring tea ' party and was getting rather tired of It. Finally they decided to propose conundrums ai{d one of the company asked, "Which fs the most warlike na tion?' "Vaccination," replied the village doctor, who was one of the party. "How do you account for that?" said the man who had put the question. "Because It's nearly always in arms," said the medic. The Difficulty. "The feller that owned this hotel before I took it over," related the land lord of the Petunia Tavern, "wanted to name It after himself and call It the "White House.' " "Did he?" nonchalantly asked a guest. "No; he couldn't. Ton see, his name was Brown." ? Kansas City Star. A Nature FaKer. Teacher ? Now, children, with what part of Its hody does a bee buzz?

But, in order to do you uiygood, it must be thoroughly digested, and it is right here that such a food as Grape-Nuts renders special servioe. Grafie-Nuts , made from wheat and malted barley, $ut>t>lies the meat of the wheat in most digestible form. That is because in the making of Grape-Nuts a large proportion of the starch is converted into dextrins and maltose? forms into which alt starch elements must be changed before they can be as similated by the system. I Grape-Nuts not only digests easily, but also aids in the digestion of other foods. Crisp, delicious Grape-Nuts with milk or cream is a complete food. It supplies the life-essential vitamin-B; also iron, phosphorus and other im portant mineral elements for nerve, tooth, bona and other body atructufcr * The daily use of Grape-Nuts is a form of health insurance which has demonstrated its value for more than 2S years.
