I. The Seventy Sent Forth (w. 1, 2).
1. Appointed by the Lord (v. 1).
Only those should go forth who are
appointed by the I^rd.
2. Sent Forth Two by Two (v. 1).
The purpose of this was that they
might mutually help, counsel and sup
port each other.
3. Reason for Their Appointment (v.
2). The harvest was great, but the la
borers were few. The task before the
Christian church after nearly 1900
years is still great.
4. Pray the Lord to Send Forth La
borers (v. 2). The realization of the
prodigrioiis task before us will cause
us to pray to the Lord to send forth
more laborers.
\\. Instructions Given (w. 3-16).
1. He Uoveals the Dangers Confront
ing Theui (v. 3). They were thrust
forth bv the Lord to proclaim Hlg
name, flioiifrh so doing would expose
them to deadly peril, even as lambs
surrounded by hungry wolves. It mat
ers not what the dangers are if the
Lord sencts forth.
2. Free From All Incumbrance (v.
4). The mission was urgent, so all that
would in any way hinder the speedy
execution of the task was to be left
behind.
3. Distraction of Social Intercourse
to Be Omitted (v. 41). Eastern saluta
tions were long-drawn affairs. To go
into such formalities would delay
Christ’s messengers.
4. Behavior in the Homes Where Re
ceived (vv. 5-9). (1) Offer the peace
of the gospel (vv. 5, 6). This is to be
done regardless as to whether it will
be received or not. There Is a reflex
blessedness In preaching the gospel.
Even when the message is rejected the
effort Is Hot wasted, but comes baclc to
the one who has made the effort. (2)
Do not shift quarters (vv. 7, 8). Mis
sionaries should remain In the home
where they have been received, con
tent with what Is given them. They
should not demand better food and
more comfortable quarters than what
is commonly provided. However, that
wliich Is given should be gratefully re
vived, for the laborer Is worthy of his
hire. (3) Healed the sick (v. 9).
These disciples were given power to
^eal the sicls. The ministers of Christ
should seek to give relief to those in
distress and use every opportunity to
proclaim the gospel message.
5. The Awful Fate of Those Who Re
ject Christ’s Message (w. 10-16). Their
is more hopel^ than that of
Sodom. Those who reject (Christ’s mes-
*enp:ers reject Christ.
Jll. The Return of th« Seventy (tt.
17-24).
t Their Report (v. 17). They were
ighly elated. They seemed to be
^^•eeably surprised. They not only
found that they could heal the sick,
but cast out demons also. They seemed*
to be filled with self-satisfaction. It is
easy even In Christian service to be
spoiled by our successes.
2. Jesus’ Answer (w. 18-24). (1) He
told them it was no surprise to Him
(w. 18, 19). With prophetic eye He
saw their success as indicating that
time when the prince of this world
would be overthrown (John 12:31),.
By virtue of His mighty triumph over
Satan He assures them that they need
have no fear of what should befall
them. Nothing could harm them; noth
ing could prosper which opposed them.
Indeed, nothing can harm the servant
who goes about His Master’s business.
(2) Real cause for rejoicing (v. 20).
He promptly rebuked them', telling
them that their chief Joy should be be
cause of their heavenly relation, not
because of these miraculous gifts.
That above all which should provoke
gratitude is the fact that God has
chosen in Christ and saved us, inscrib
ing our names in heaven. (3) Jesus’
exultation (vv. 21, 22). The conscious
ness that soon the victory would be
won because God had committed all
things unto Him, and that only as men
received Him could they know the
Father, caused Him to rejoice in what
was being accomplished. (4) Congrat
ulates the disciples, (w. 23, 24).
About the only thing worth less
than a German mark is a Vass man’s
chance of being boss in his own house.

Ttie Good Locations
ARE NARROWING DOWN!
A man from the North was looking around this
section several days for a location
for a peach orchard
“But it is surprising,” he said, “to know how largely these
good looations have been cleaned up. You canH find a bit of good
ridge land the minute you start out from the house, and after
you find what you think may be a good ridge it is perhaps far
from a railroad, far from a highway, far from a railroad station,
and far from everything else you want. For I begin to see that
an orchard is not just an orchard because peiaches will grow on
it; it has to have other features or it might as well be in the
middle of the Gulf of Mexico. You fellows around here may not
realize it, but you start out to hunt a good orchard site and you
will find that nobody has one to give awiay if it is one you would
have.”
THAT’S WHY
EDGENOORE HEIGHTS
Will be a Succession of Orchards
on^ of these days
It has ridge land, and all the other things the man said were
necessary. See
