No; the present day rpark-1 place is the newspaper and the magazine. Purled columns are the modern thorough fives; pub lished advertisements are the \ cross-toads where the sellers and] the buyers meet. Any, issue ot a national magazine is u world’s fair, a bazaar filled with the pro ducts of the* world’s Work. Clothes and clocks and candle-sticks; soup and soap and cigarettes; lingerie and limousines—the best of all of them are there. proclaimed h\ their makers in persuasive ton"". That every other voice should be raised in such great market places, and the voice of Jesus of Nazareth ft,, still—this is a vital omission which he would find a1 way to correct. I VI.!

To the mind' of thc-e who hurry • through the bristling i:nj?08,\ he too would send his ndl: \ " hat shall it profit a man if he shall stain the whole world and lose iiis soul; or what shall a man Stive in exchange lor lib Mini? This would be his challenge in every i evvspaner and magazine; and with it would lie coupled jm invitation to ‘hare in the joyous enterprise of Ui- work.

How old ?co thr-;’ Whi'.t l ave they done and said? With* yncrrWti. in«Unet Jesus recognized and" used this trait in human nature. One of the most revealing of all verses to these who would understand the secret of his newer is this: “• ,\Vl these things Jesus make in to the multitudes in parables: and with oni a partible spak > he not unto them.” A parable is a story. He told • them stories, .stories about pen-' ole. and let the stories carry hid muss-age. He might have adopted very different methods—many teachers and would-be leaders do. He might have dealt in generali ties, saying: “When vou five goirg about yen business, be ns 1 ind m- vow can. Be thou-'Id HP of the -other traveler1' on *,he highwevs e.f life-. Take time to look for those who have fa rod less fortunately: lend them a helping hand whenever you can.” I say he might how uttered such generalities. But if he had do you -oppose that they wpubt ever have been remembered? Would '>e i,;sciides have recorded them? Would our ages ever have heard bis ramp? H<> was fr,r wiser in the Isws and habits of the human j '"<nd Instead of the commonplace 1 '’Hrnses written above, he painted this striking picture: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell ivr-'u g thieves. | There's "a-j- ration r,n,l ! your head-lino!

But the story that had its roots in evcrvdr- human -v--r. ien.ee and coed, lives and will live forever. It condenses th- phiWn Utby of Christianity ipto n hdf drvaen til. forge table parsagaphs. The parable of the Good Samari tan is tlie greatest advertisement of all time. Take any on- of the parables, no matter which--you will find that it exemplifies ah the prin '#1*3 in which advertising text books are written.

Ten Virgins Wept Forth to Meet A Bridegroom A striking picture .and « striking head-line. The story which follows ha« not a single wasted word: Five of the Virgins were wise, ! 1 ar.d five wire foolish. They that were foolish took their lumps, and took no oil with t hem: Hu* the w e took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, ;tb<\\ all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was ;i cry made, Behold the bridegroom conteth; go ye out to meet him. Then all those Virgins arose, and “trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the vise. “Give tu of vour oil for our THE MAN NOBODY . _ lamps have gone out” But the wise answered, saying. “Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you; but go ye rather t > them that sell, ai d buy for yourselves.’’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom (ante: and they that were readv went in with hint to tIre marriage; and the door was shut. Afterward came ais.o the other Virgins, saying, “Lord, Lord, open to me.” But he answered and said. “Verily, I sav unto you, I know yc" not .
