V i> -V The Leader’s Message “Why couldn’t they see it was Jesus?” You may ask this question as you think of how His two friends walked a.ong and talked with Jesus. “It seems to me I would have known Him,” you may add, thought fully. Perhaps you would have known Him; perhaps not. It de pends so largely on your state of mind. Had you listened and believed beforetime when He spoke of His coming death aiid of His rising again from the dead, then you would have ex pected Him^ (You would tfiave known it was He as you looked and listened. But If you had lis tened carelessly or not at all. if you had not thought or prayed about it, then the words of the women would have seemed unbelievable and youjr eyes, too, would have been holden as you stood so near Him that evening. Love and faith have so much to do with what we See and hear and believe. That is why so many are filled with doubt and confusion ’ to day. Their eyes are holden by so many material things that they fail to see Jesus. When Bernice Did Not See Alice Mays was telling Ber nice AWen about the dress at Borden’s. “It’s sweet, Bernice,” she said; “so soft and frilly and girlish and such an adorable pink, and it has been marked down to $9.95. You know I paid $12.50 for my pale green, but this is prettier. You get it and we will sit together at Mrs. Forest’s party tomorrow night. Pale pink and pale green will look pleasing.” Eloth girls gave little squeals of delight as they embraced each other. 1 am going up rignt now »IIU 111 gp by and get the money from father,” said Bernice. As she started up the street she heard Alice’s voice calling, "Earl has come,” but though she beard she did not fully grasp the meaning of the words for her mind was on the dress. That is why she let Earl For est, popular young son of the hostess of the party, stand with lifted hat ant) extended hand unheeded, almost near enough to: touch her. She was in front of Borden’s looking through the window at the lovely, filmy pink dress. “I did not see you,” she explained to Earl next eve ning. “Nonsense,” replied he; “you almost walked over me.” When the Light Was Darkness Mr. Parham stood on the steps of his lovely home on this beau tiful Sabbath morning with a hurt look on his troubled face. He was thinking of Myrtle, his twehty year old daughter who had graduated a few weeks ago from college with honors. He had been so glad to have her back in the home. It had been lonely sjince her smother died, with Myrtle away. And now that she was back he was not happy. Myrtle had been too busy for family prayer every morn ing, and now for the fifth Sab oath, after serving a perfect breakfast, she had taken her favorite magazine and lain down on the couch. “Something?’' she asked as Mr. Parham came back into the room. “Yes,” he said; “I would like so much for you to go to church with me You always liked to go before you went away.” Myrtle regarded her father’s troubled face. “I can not explain it to you, fath er, but while at college I learned that going to church and all of chese things we have been do ing are very useless. I could prove it, but I'U S° with you next time just to please you,” she said. As her father turned to go the expression of pain had increased. Why Ray Could Not See Elder Stafford stood in the door of Ray Faulkner’s nice, clean, up-to-date grocery store. “Good evening, Ray; it is about closing time, isn’t it?” he asked. “Good evening, Mr. Stafford; it is. about closing time, but I will wait on you.” “I do not want any groceries, thank you, Ray; I came to talk to you. I have not seen you out at church very often lately,” he said. Ray’s head went up. “I send my money every Sun day,” said he. “Yes, I know you do,” replied the dlder, “but we want you. God wants you. As for the mon ey, you will stop sending that, too, if jyou a|re not interested, enough to come yourself.” Seems like l do not see tne good in church and such things that I once saw,” remarked Ray. “No wonder,” replied Elder Stafford. “I notice your attach ment to the S-girl. She is not a bad girl. Ben L and Jack F-are good friends of yours. They are very wild young men. The pool room, the dance hall and the; cards with your fast group of friends have so bliiffied you to all good that you can not see good in the church, or Christians or Jesus.” “I believe you are right, Mr. Stafford. If I can get rid of this gang I am coming back,” an swered Ray. Fog Fog still baffles man’s ingenu ity and the power of science and invention. Automobiles crash into each other in a fog. Ships at sea collide with each other while many are lost in heavy, thick fog. The continual sins we commit bring clouds of mist and darkness about us. We can no longer see good in ser mons, prayers or songs. We are like one who has gazed at some dazzling object so long that everything else seems dim and dark. We do not realize that our hearts have grown hard, our minds have ceased to be pray erful, though some formal sen tences may come from our lips at night before we go to bed. No wonder our faith grows so dim that we fail to see Jesus. He is not real to us any more, and we blame everything, eve rybody but ourselves. If our hearts are filled with wickedness and evil the things of God seem dim and unreal. Let us remem ber that the light is burning as bright as ever. We only need to rise above the fog of our sin ful living. Stephen’s ministry did not end on that black day in Jerusalem. His death scattered the embers of the fires of faith over the whole known world. The perse cution that began with him continued until |he Christians were “scattered abroad.”— Dr. W. T. Ellis.
