The
Wayside Pulpit
By D. E. EARNHARDT
Text: “Adam the Gospel
of God.”—THus *:10.
'Don’t let any lopsided man
tie you down and brand you.
God has called us to freedom
and not to slavery. As to
Fundamentalists and Modern
ists, be neither one.
The Salvation of God is not
a doctrine but a Person. This
Christ Person can save the
meanest man in the county.
The only reason He has not
done it is that person has not
surrendered to Him.
All denominations belong
to Me. I allowed one of them
to Rave My name but I want
all of thcim to have Me. The
bigger a man gets the harder
it |S to tell what denomina
tion he is connected with.
As to the race question,
"The first of all commands is
“thtju rhalt love.” At the
Judgment Day the black man
is £)ing to turn pale and the
white man red if they find
too; late that they hate each
other.
Event Planned

Family Planning Questions
Q. I have read that the
“population explosion” is sup.
posed to produce wars in the
future. Do you think it
really will?
A. There has been some
controversy in the past be
tween those who say that
population pressures were the
basic cause of a number of
small wars, and others who
say that population growth
really had little to do with
any given war. Perhaps it
is a question of the degree
of influence population
growth has rather than its
being the only cause of a
war.

can States recently concluded

Make Going To Church A Habit
JESUS’ USE OF PARABLES
International Sunday School Lesson for Jan. 3
Memory Selection: "Nothing is secret, that
shall not be made manifest; neither any thing
hid, that shall not be known and ccsne abroad.
Take heed therefore how ye hear.”—!Luke 8:17-16.
Lesson Text: Isaiah 6:9-10; Matthew 13:1-30,
34-43.
Today’s lesson marks the occasion of a brand
New Year, and our opportunity to do with it
what we will. Let us hope that as it pursues
its course, the mark it leaves on our lives will
be the mark of Christian maturity.
To this end this lesson is concerned with the
parable—and with Christ’s use of it within the
confines of His teaching. He used parables
when He conversed with the people much as a
carpenter uses his tools; He used them to shape
their thinking, to stimulate their interest, to give
them a “slide rule” with which to govern their
lives and actions. Today, they are just as valu
able to us.
For Christ, and for His listeners, the parable
linked the familiar, known things with the un
familiar intangibles; they stirred their interest,
and stimulated thought. For the parables had to
be interpreted and used as a measuring stick
against a varied array of circumstances. This
was particularly important, since Christ dealt
with intangibles. Sensitive, wise, understanding,
His eyes saw what others could not; His ears
heard nuances which were denied to ordinary
people. Through close association with Christ,
the Apostles were more finely attuned to His
thinking; not so the multitudes. Average, hard
working and realistic people, they had to be
reached through the medium they most readily
understood—basic situations with which they
could realistically relate. Thus, we find Jesus’
parables couched in terms of fishermen and
farmer . . .
Perhaps in the fact that the Apostles were
more attuned to Christ’s reasoning than the
multitudes there is a lesson for us, present-day
Disciples of Christ.
M:st assuredly a sense of close kinship with
God breeds an intensified awareness of His
goodness, His purpose, His all-encompassing
love, just as the twelve Disciples were more
acutely attuned to Christ’s intentions than those
outside that select circle.
Christ, during His short sojourn among men,
tailored the dosage of knowledge to the indivi
dual capacity to absorb and analyze that knowl
edge. And comprehension of the truth is still
largely a matter of personal enterprise, c£ per
sonal novation. The more intimately we in
volve ourselves in Christ, the more adequately
we align ourselves with the understanding of
spiritual truth.
To be so blessed we need to exercise both
obedience and self-discipline. The two cannot
be separated. Indeed, they combine to make
on e of the most rigorous lessons man has to
team- if) his throughout' life- How-
