Sunday School Lesson
REV. SAMUEL D. PRICE, D. D.
Internationa! Sunday School Lesson
for March 22nd
THE USE AND ABUSE OF GOD'S
GIFTS
Luke xii, 16-21, 41-48
Though the lesson text does not
deal directly with the subject, the
quarterly temperance lesson must be
pressed with special earnestness.
Therein we have one of the iivest
topics of the day. Test thi* out by
reading the daily paper for a week
seeking down to date news on this
subjectIn
parable form Jesus tells the
people in Perea about the man who
thought only of his personal gratifications
and desired t.o do as he
pleased regardless of any influence
on others. In story form a rich gormand
was portrayed. This man was
beaded for the gout, judging by his
objectives in me. jae nad productive
fields which yielded far more than
enough for his needs.
When the climax was reached all
were startled by the question which
Jesus asked. What will you do with
ard who was unfaithful to his trust
quired of thee this night? That inquiry
brings each one face to face
with the Judgment Seat of God.
Peter brought forth the next story
and we have the parable of the stewthrough
education,
while he thought the owner was far
away. Thinking power was taken
away by the indulgence in strong
drink. When in that condition the
supposedly trustworthy man harmed
his fellow servants and also himself.
Society can never be safe when right
mindedness is taken away by any
habit forming diug. The corrective
is made very clear in the Golden
Text: "Be not drunken with wine,
wherein is riot, hut be filled with the
spirit," Ephesians v, 18. The Govern,
ment will be increasingly effective
in stopping commercial violations of
the law. The Sunday School must
meet the non-commercial violations
in history?" asked the teacher of a
Silage and pasture cut the grain
v*;n auu n? ?
Rto uut ui v/iunuiii r?rocners, uairymon
of Chatham County, by 60 per
cent, during the past winter. The
cows are in better condition than
usual, say the owners.
"Who was the most capable man
in history?" asked hte teacher of a
bright young lad.
"Well" said the hov, "judging from
political talks over the radio, it must
have been one of the last crop of
candidates."
