The children had brought
the ingredients and planned
the activity after hearing a
story about making stone
soup. They also helped serve
the soup to their classmates,
and some staff members
were invited to sample their
fare.
The odor of onions and
barley and beef was
mingled with carrots and
cabbage and potatoes. All
tx&bled in a crock pot
provided by the teacher.
The children brought the*
ingredients for the stone
soup as they enacted a
favorite French tale about
three soldiers. According to
the story, the villagers do
not trust the strange men
who come to their town, so
they hide all their provisions
and feign their own hunger
when asked for something to
eat.
The soldiers see through
the peasant’s charade and
say they will make stone
soup and share with the
village. A pot and water are
fetched; the stone is added.
Hie soldiers comment that a
carrot and an onion would
help the flavor. The
peasants fall right into the
trap and bring their hidden
vegetables out, and the
whole story ends in a feast
and acceptance of the
strangers.
The book, “Stone Soup,”
by Marcia Brown, was read
to the children by their
student teacher, Mrs. Doris
Litchfield. Hie activity was
a part of a study of peoples
and places in which music,
flags, art and stories from
many countries were in
troduced.

AN INDICTMENT OF HYPOCRISY
International Sunday School Lesson for March
Scripture: Matthew 23:27-39
By Mrs. Jesse Waller
Anyone who has felt the touch of Christ abhors hypocrisy,
because Christ Himself istruth. When Jesus lived here upon
this earth, His words and deeds were one. He didn’t preach
one way, and live another. Not so, with the scribes mid
Pharisees. They performed outward acts of religion, but in
wardly they were murderers and rotten at heart.
Jesus painted a very graphic indictment of their hypocrisy
and iniquity. The conflict, during passion week had come to
a head. He had little time left to point the way for those who
would listen. Their strictness of keeping the law was only
a show to hide what was in their hearts.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you
are like white-washed tombs, which outwardly appear beau
tiful, but within they are full of dead men’s bones and all
uncleanness.” Matthew 23:27. Jesus was not using fancy
language here. During the passover week, when pilgrims
flocked to the Holy City, Jerusalem, for the feast, these
tombs all along the way were whitewashed. This was to
prevent anyone from stumbling or brushing against a tomb,
making them unclean for the feast. This would have caused
them to be shut out of the feast. The tombs stood out in the
sun, and seeaied beautiful, although inside they were foil of
dead bones and decay.
Often as we visit in parishioner’s homes, we hear how
active they have been in the past, but sometimes there is
no si pi at foe spiritual life and growth in foe present. Re
cently we were visiting in a home where foe ootgtle was too
feeble to attend church. However, there wae a worn Bible
on foe table that gave silent evidence at it’s use. It was
warn and faded mid held many precious makings mid clip
pings. On top of it was an Upper Room devotional book
opened to foe current date. That Bible gave witness that
their apirtuat lives were Hive and well.
Jeaua persisted ip His indictment at hypocrisy. He caused
foe Jews to look at foe peat, how they were charged with
killing foe prophets. They tried to act innocent. No one
likes to be blamed for sine at foe past, but hare they were
ready to kill mother prophet, even Jeans, foe San of God.
Jesus reminded them that from foe time of Abel to thetime
of Zechariah they had killed the prophets, in foe hmtfaess
of their hearts, they would not stop after Jesaa’ death, but
fee death at foe martyrs followed. Toby hi many pats of
the world, Owiatiaaa yre tracked down md put to death.
The only ewre fcr hypocrisy u repeatrmce. Jesus’ last ap
peal thee, and new is, His patience mat love. He wept over
Jerusalem, and said “how often would I have gathered your
stag, and you would not." Matthew: 23:37.
Prayer: Jbeas stand aeoag as ia thy fisaa power. Assn.
