' - ' - "-m i-S,p, t 5 FT i - J -J. A -; . ' ' ; GO YE AISO INTO THE VUTEYARD." Matthew 20:1-16. August 14. "Many that are first shall be last; and the last shaU be first." Matt. 19:30. GRAPE culture was oue of the main industries of the days of the Great . Teacher. The stony hillsides of Palestine were once terraced and extensively used as vineyards. On our recent visit we, noted with particular interest the revival of this custom, as one of the-evidence of the beginning of restitution of the Holy Land Acts 3:19-21. The grapevine was honored of the Master, in that he used it in a Arable, to symbolize himself and the Church, saying, '1 am the Vine, ye are the branches;" "My Father is the husbandman;" "Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit;" "Every branch in me which beareth fruit he pruneth it that it may bring forth more fruit;" "Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away." . . . ' Our present Study, the Parable of the Laborers, is to full accord with the foregoing, but shows he matter from a different standpoint. It shows how each one of the Lord's consecrated Church, each heir of the Messianic King dom shortly to be established, is privileged to be a co-laborer with his Lord and Jester and with the Heavenly Father in the vineyard work tending the vine, poking out for the injurious pests, beeping the soil in good condition, assisting every way in the production of "much fruit" and of fine quality. Evidently many Christian people do not appreeiate the privilege of being laborers in the Church of Christ "building one another up in the most holy faith" until we all come to the fuH stature of -a man in the Anointed One. St. Paul appreciated this privilege greatly, saying, God hath made us quali fied servants of the New Covenant So then we, as ambassadors for God, beseech men. Be ye reconciled to God.

LAKE DRUMMON0 CANAL ' On and after June 1, 1910, ves sels drawing more than nine feet will not be admitted to this canal. M. K. KING, president No mysteries of the Kingdom of God." The things pertaining to God's Kingdom, tn its future operation toward the world for a thousand years, wlH be openly manifested to every creature, shortly. But now it is appropriate, and is the Divine will, that these things should be known only to the Church, the consecrated, the spirit-begotten sons of God. Likewise there are important truths pertaining to the Kingdom class, the Church which is being prepared to be the Bride of Christ and his joint heirs in the Kingdom. And these things are likewise intended to be compara tively secret to be clearly and full understood only by such as have made a covenant with the Lord by sacrifice. CPsalms 50:5.) "The secret of the Lord is with them that reverence him, and he will show them his Covenant." (Psalms 25:14.) All sac in close sympathy with the Divine purposes will be anxious to serve the Lord, the Truth and the brethren. And such from time to time will be specially sent into the Vineyard, and will be specially used of the Lord for the assistance of his consecrated people in various ways. The word "penny" here is from the Greek denarius, a silver coin of about 17 cents value. But the value of money has so changed in recent years that to day a laborer's wage In proportion to other things would be considerable more. The denarius was the Roman standard of that time, as the lira is the Italian standard, the mark the German standard, the franc the French standard, the shilling the English standard and the dellar the American standard, it is worthy of note that in one of the fiae old Eagiish cathedrals the records show that its excellent chisel work, superior to anything of today, cost "A penny a day and a bag of meal for each laborer." The parable of our lesson is evi dently intended to teach that God will give all that he has agreed to all who labor that he may in generosity give more Mian he has stipulated. At the close of the day, we read, those first hirad murmured against their lord We cannot suppose that any who would be counted worthy of a share !n the Kingdom would murmur against the Giver of all Good. The rewarding Is to be expected at the close of the harvest day and the murmuring may be expected there also. The "penny" or reward would thus seem to be something of the Joys, blessings, honors and privileges of God's people In the present life, at the close of this age. Those who murmur that they do not receive a suffi ciency of honor and distinction and of Diviae acknowledgment will be thereby proving themselves unfit for the future service "bevond th u , Q,, of the Church in glory. This would seem to point a warning to those of God's ywpie who nave Deen long in tne Truth and who have had great privileges of service, that if they murmur against the blesskigs and rewards coming to them, it will mean that they were laboring fcfr the reward merely and not ap preciating the privilege of being laborers with Christ and with the Father- it would imply that tliey -had failed te eater iato the spirit of the wonderful privileges granted them ef servimg the Lord, the Truth and the brethren The right spirit, the proper interest in the Father's work and in the brethren should prompt all to rejoice with every new laborer and to be glad that all aoch should receive of the Lord's favors, blessings and enlightenment as fully as freely, as themselves. Surely any whe have not this spirit ha've not the spirit of Christ on this subject The general lesson is that God is so just, so generous, so bountiful, in his dealings that all those who appreciate matters frem his standpoint will rejpice in the blessings which overflow upon others. A failure to appreciate the Lord's generosity was one cause of stumbling to the Jews eighteen centuries ago-they were offended that the' Gospel message should go out beyond them i tu SimUar!y todfiy some Christian people are stumping' over the fact that the Word of God shows that, whereas Divine blessings are new con fined to the Church, "the elect," the servants and handmaidens of the Gospel Age yet the time is near, at hand when -God will ponr out his spirit upon all flesh, and when all the families of the earth. shall be blessed All who have the privilege of bearing the labor and heat of the day in the Lord s service must be glad of the privilege, in order to be worthy of participa tion in the Kingdom. Thus some who seem to be first in their promptness to respond to the Lord's call for laborer may be amon3st the last to revive T'r -d thl - Hc! test upon v-..o uuci iujmiy.anu rno motives, which actuated them in gaging in the Vineyard work. etc South bound train. nigh,t ex press leaving Elizabeth City daily at 11:18 P.
