[ MAY 21, 1936 ! * IMPROVED J UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday i chool Lesson jfcly REV F. B. FITZW ATEIt. D D.. Member c! Faculty. Moody Bible IwUtute of ChicaBo. ? Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for May 24 BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE LESSON TEXT ? Luke 70:45-47: ?1:1-36. GOLDEN TEXT In your patience possess ye your *ou1b.?Luke 21:1$. PRIMARY TOT'IC ? A Gift That Pleased Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC?What Makes a Gift Great? INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC?Making the Most of Today. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC?Living for Spiritual Ends. While this lesson is indicated ns the quarterly Temperance lesson, and the various subjects suggested vary in incir objective, a more logical theme would seein to be "Jesus Teaches in the Temple," No Individual, city, or nation can truly build for the future that disregards what the Bible says about the future. 1. Jesus Warns Against the Scribes (w. 45-47). lie had just dealt with the disbelief j of the Sndducees. The scribes claimed | faith, for they were the teachers of the i law. Tbey were punctiliously exact-, lng as to its literal observance. They bad little understanding of the need of flexibility In applying Its principles to human needs. They discovered that Jesus was teaching things contrary to their Interpretations. Jesus taught that the law was made for man, and not man for the law. The scribes were publicity seekers, making parade of their wisdom. Sunday school teachers should earnestly pray that they may serve as true messengers of Christ, not as scribes, with only a head-knowledge of biblical matters. \ IS. Jesus Makes Estimate of Gifts; (Luke 21:1-4). j 1. Amount counts for little (v. 1). ! While the rich cast their gifts Into the treasury, and observers may have j noted thai the clash and clatter of tu.u uiuicneu IUIS? giving, n. is not likely that these gifts meant personal sacrifice or self-denial. 2. Inner conditions determine the value of n gift (vv. 2, 3). In the sight of man the poor widow's deed was not worthy of notice, lu the sight of God It merited the linmortullty of the lllble record. The two-mile gift of the widow revealed her love for God, else how could she spare her all? It revealed her faith In God for tomorrow, for how else would she he fed? It revealed her humility, for she did not withhold her gift hecnuse It was so little. Verse 4 Is Indeed revealing as to Christ's interpretation of the deeper mennlng of gifts, for that and the present age. III. Jesus Prophesies His Return (vv. 5-33). 1. The temple to be destroyed (vv. 5. fi). The temple was the pride and bonst of the proud Jew. Such boasting called forth the Lord's declaration that "there shall not lie left one stone upon unother," a fact that had Its fulfillment A. I). 70, when Titus destroyed Jerusalem. 2. The disciples' Inquiry (v. 7). rrt ~ ? v.-v 1? At?k as- '' j-iiiciv tun uc uu MiijiriHt; uiill Uie HISciples should ask tor more Information about future events. A corresponding verse In Matthew (24:3) should be considered. 8. An order of events was presented to them (vv. 8-24). Perhaps one would not so much say an order, as that lie pointed out details on the great canvas of the future. a. False Chrlsts would appear (v. 8), some claiming to be the Messiah In his first appearing, and some In his reappearing. These make their appeal to such as are not rooted and grounded in the faith. "Go ye not after them." b. Inevitable wars and commotions (vv. 9, 10) will embroil the nations. "Commotions" signifies tumults, in the absence of war, wrnngllng within national life, or between nations. The reBtful follower of Christ is to "be not terrified," c. Violent persecutions were foretold (vv. 12-19). The believer of today should absorb the meaning and teaching of tills marvelous passage of Scripture. "Settle it In your hearts" that Christ will be to his own even na to the tempest-tossed disciples on Galilee, when he said "Peace, be still." And In this connection lie spoke the words of the golden text, "In your patience pos sess ye your souls." IV. Appropriate Warnings (vv. 3436). The grosser sins may not ensnare the believer, but how subtle are the cares of this life. But upon the drunken, the obscene, the frivolous, and npon the follower of Christ alike shall trials ami perplexities come. Watch ye therefore, always; pray. 5Tt ftfOTTi THE HOUSE | ^ Tiff Mac Arthur | Cleveland Setting St; [ CEEVEUAJVD, O. . . .

Washington, May 17. ? Old-age champions of the insect world are: ! beginning* to appear in the southeast.' j They will swarm in uncountable mii| iors. over a great part of the east- i ern United States before their day: of sunlight and song is ended, in the 1 I closing days of June. | Tliey are the 17-year cicadas, usi ually called 17-year locusts. They j I will appear from Georgia on the} I south to Michigan oi. the north, from j | Long Island on the? east to the Mis- i | sissippi river on the west, with small- i er outlying swarms in Wisconsin, j | New England, and other border i i areas. Similar insects, the 13-year ci- j i cadas. will aooear in a .qinwio com. I pact area, where the "corner" of j Missississippi fits into Louisiana, j They are rather large insects, about the size of big bumble-bees, with transparent, dark-vcined wings.. They are not really loeusts. True locusts, the kind that were one of the Plagues of Egypt, are long-winged grasshoppers and are terribly destructive The 17-year cicadas arc strictly American insects, and they are usually harmless. The only damage they cause is by laying their eggs in the young green twigs of trees. This causes leaves to drop off, and sometimes kills young nursery and orchard stock. But for the most part they are more noisy than they are economically Important. The cicadas are the longest-lived insects known. After their eggs are hatched, the tiny young ones, no bigger than ants, dig into the ground, and there they live for 17 long years (13, in the southern species), sucking sap from the roots of trees. In the late spring of the 17th year, they burrow to the surface, climb up the trees and bushes, split their "baby clothes" up the back, and emerge as winged, singing insects. They live for a few weeks in the sunlight, mate, lay their eggs?and die. The brood now emerging are the orphan offspring of the brood that emerged and died in 1919. NOT SO DIFFERENT TODAY Morgan ton News-Herald Among the Indians he was held in highest esteem who could bring in the most scaJpS or the most game. Things aren't so greatly different to day. In most communities ho is held in highest esteem who can bring in the most dollars, the biggest house, the best car, or who can provide the most clothes and jewelry. The Indian was merely a trifle more frank and elementary in his expression... ways. Only so shall the child of God be ready ("worthy-') to escape, and to stand before the Son of God. Benediction Is pronounced upon "those who love his appearing." Christian Worship All Christian worship is a witness of the resurrection of hiui who liveth for ever and ever. Because he lives, "now abideth faith, hope, charity." The Greatest Gift You propose to give up everything for God. Be sure, then, to Include yourself among the things to be given up.
