These are the Treasury'! last bags of silver dollar and President Nixon has tutted the bill authorizing th kale.,:';: . ' The date of the sale depends on an appropriation of $2,500,000, which 'is supposed to be the cost of carrying out the sale - almost a dollar for each silver dollar sold, which certainly seems excessive, even in the fine world of federal bureaucracy. But since the Treasury thinks it can take In about $75,000,000 at the sale, the cost doesn't seem as bad as it otherwise would. ; Customers will be limited to 'ten each, not more than one for each of the ten minting year: represented. Since these dollars (Carson City-minted) are nov. selling from twelve to twenty Ave dollars in coin markets their sale might well bring in ; $75,000,000.

"One of the most hopeful ar ticles ever to appear in a national magazine about one of the most hopeless forms of cancer." That was the' comment of Dr. D.E. Ward, Jr., Chairman of the Board of the North Carolina Division of the American Cancer Society about the article, They're Gaining on Leukemia" by Walter S. Ross, appearing in the December Reader's Digest "Twenty-five years ago diagnosis of acute leukemia was a sentence of death," continued Dr. Ward. "Children lived only a few weeks at most. Today, of those receiving the latest in drug treatment, ninety per cent go into symptom-free remission, and sometimes this lasts for several years. With a number of acute leukemia patients now symptom-free for over five years, doctors are beginning to use the word 'cure.' It is too early to tell, however, whether these patients will live out a normal life span." The article traces the exciting developments in leukemia research and drug treatment. Highlighted is the pioneering research of Dr. Sidney Farber, head of the Children's Cancer Research Foundation of Boston, and former president of the American Cancer Society, who developed the first drug to give symptom-free weeks to an acute leukemia patient. That was in 1947. Today there are 80 medical centers throughout th. country, all equipped to treat cases of acute leukemia with multiple drug therapy. Dr. Ward noted that most of the centers are related to a large university or research Institution and that few patients would have to leave their home states to reach one. "The American Cancer Society often provides transportation services for patients and their families," Dr. Ward added, "and we offer counseling services to make the way easier for families when the tragedy of leukemia strikes." The author of the Digest ar ticle, Walter S..Ross, is editorial consultant to the American Cancer Society and author of The Climate Is Hope," a collection of case histories of people who have triumphed over cancer. c::le VETdt "By due my Father glorified, that you bear amok final, and a prove to be asy disciple." 1.

THE BASIS OF GOD'S REWARDS International Sunday School Lesson for January 31, 1971 MEMORY SELECTION: "The last shall be first, and the first last; for many be called, but few chosen". - (Matthew 20:16) LESSON TEXT: Matthew 19:23 to 20:16. It was somewhat of a paradox that, although man was saved by Divine Grace, benefitting from the goodness of God's heart without necessary merit on man's part, rewards were promised for faithfulness in service. It was the common belief, in those days, that if a man were good, he would naturally prosper. God would look upon him in favor. Setbaiks and ill-fortune were taken as omens of man's punishment for a less than exemplary life. Amongst this talk of "rewards" and the current beliefs, it is no wonder the disciples were confused at times in their thinking and reasoning! To make His point, Jesus spoke a parable, and, as was His won't, he used everday people and everyday happenings in order that His listeners could relate to His stories. Thus came the parable of the landowner and the vineyard laborers. The landowner in the story had need of laborers in his vineyard. He therefore, early in the day, hired a number of men for a penny a day to labor In his fields. As time passed, he saw be needed more help in order to get the desired amount of work done; he therefore made periodic trips throughout the day to recruit more men. To these he promised a fair remuneration. And, at the end of the day, those who had been hired last, received also a penny for their work. Somewhat naturally, those men who had labored through the heat of the day were disgruntled, and gave voice to their feelings. Rebuked by the master, they were reminded that they had been paid the agreed-upon wage for their day's work. They laborers who had been presented with the op portunity for service late in the day had responded nobly ir the time that was left to them, so they, too, received their. pay. We all have an opportunity to serve God, that is certain. How and when that opportunity presents itself is something over which we have no control. We do, however, have control over the way in which we respond to our call for service! The really important thing, here, is that we fill up our appointed time with both faithfulness and diligence. Salvation is by grace, rewards are for service. Having been given the gift of salvation without striving on ourparV we are constrained to service. We must be ready, always, to merit the trust which as been vouschaf ed us so implicitly. The opportunity to work in God's vineyard is a rare privilege, and one which must be sincerely appreciated. If we will but look around us we will see many opportunities to be of service - to God, to our church, to our fellowmen. How much time we have allotted to us for that service we do not know. The "best we can do is use our opportunities and our . time wisely, and the less time we have, the more urgent our mission. : One thing Is certain - God always has need of laborers in His vineyard, for there is always work to be done. Let us look around us; and we do not have to look very far! The chances are that in our own specific church we will find opportunities to ease the work load of an overburdened pastor, There are usually absentees who can be visited, or shut-ins who would welcome being remembered in the special way which is the prlvtlese of active Christianity. We can surely find time in our crowded, busy lives, to do this much for One who has given us so many blessings! And not the least of the rewards we shall receive will be the mom of spiritual fulfillment which our labors, In His , name; wia bring to usi' ..
