REPENTANCE AND FAITH
International Sunday School Lessee
for November 9th, 1941.
Lesson Text: Luke 15:11-24
Tha fifteenth chapter of Luke
bv tellinr us that the publicans
and sinners came unto Jesus to hear
his treadling. He received them
kindly and courteously, being inena
lv and sociable, whereupon the scribes
and PhnrisMw became critical, not
being able to understand how a man
of righteousness could associate with
sinners.
Jesus realized their condemnatory
Attitude and replied to it with para
bles of the Ninety and Nine, the Lost
Coin, and, finally, the Prodigal bon
Each deals with recovery of some
thing which had disappeared. At first,
it was a lost sheep in the wilderness,
with ninety and nine safe at home
secondly, it was a silver coin, lost in
the house with nine others safely
kept; and, at last, it was one of two
sons who had strayed from the fam
ily household and disappeared into
the hidden byways of the worm.
In each of these parables Jesus
pictured the everlasting effort of a
lnvinir God for the redemption of
those who had wandered away from
Him. The process of sin involves a
terrific waste and destruction of so
cial resources. The critics of Jesus
saw in his conduct a teacher asso
ciating with sinners he revealed to
them divine love in the analogy of a
shepherd seeking a lost sheep.
In the parable of the Prodigal Son,
Jesus drew upon his imagination to
construct a story which has never
since failed to carry a powerful les
son. A young son demands from his
father, and receives, his share of the
inheritance, which he recklessly
squandered in riotous living. When
his wealth had been exhausted, his
friends deserted him and he was in
danger of starvation. Appealing for
help, he was forced to accept a job
feedirfg swine, than which there ex
isted no more menial occupation or
more disgusting task for a Jew.
In his desperation, the young man
became remorseful, realizing how
foolish he had been. This soon
brought repentance in his heart and
inspired a confession from his lips.
Returning to his father, the foolish
son was met with joy and love, re
ceiving as a reward an entire re
establishment in the affection of his
father. The father immediately
sought to restore his, son's, own .self
respect and gave him another chance
in life.
All sin involves a waste. It is not
necessarily entirely wicked, because
we may sin by neglecting the devel-1
opment of our talent, time or oppor
tunity. The meaning of the Greek
MtnrA which we translate sin is
"missing the mark." Anything that
prevents a man or woman achieving
the highest possible development for
the immortal soul entrusted to him or
her is a sin, for as another writer has
said, a sin is opposed to God because
"it injures the soul which God labors
to preserve, it wrecks character
which God strives to save and it is a
blow at the kingdom of righteousness
which God is laboring to establish."
There are three elements three
"R's" in the act of repentance; re
gret, renunciation and reformation.
Of course, regret is the first step in
repentance. The repentant sinner
regrets, or is sorry for, his sins.
However, sorrow for our sins is not
enough. As one little girl, when ask
ed for a definition of the, word re
pentance, replied., "It means being
sorry enough to quit." What good
does it do for us to say we are sorry
if we go back and do the same things
over and over again? Therefore,
sincere and deep repentance requires
not only regret but renunciation of
one's sins.
Once one has felt true regret and
real renunciation, one is led to a new
and reformed life. If we really
mean what we say when we say we
are sorry we have sinned and we re
nounce our sins, we naturally stiffen
our resistance to sinning. While we
cannot hope to live thereafter a sin
less life, we shall be enabled to live
a sin-lessened life, with God's help.
When we repent of our sins and
ask God's forgiveness, we must do so
with full and complete faith and trust
in His power of forgiveness and in
full assurance of God's willingness
to accept our repentance and forgive
us our Bin; He hat said, "Though
your sins be as scarlet, they shall be
ta white at enow; though they be red
like crimson, they shall be as wool"
(Isa. 1:18). Through faith in and ac
ceptance of Jesus Christ, we receive
salvation from the penalty of our
sins. By keeping close to Him and
with the help of the Holy Spirit, we
can strive to live as nearly sinless
lives as possible.

What to feed for economical milk
production ?
That question has been asked by
hundreds of dairymen who have
written to State College recently, re
ports Professor R. H. Ruffner, head
of the College's Animal Husbandry
Department. "Dairymen are espec
ially concerned over the increase in
the price of cottonseed meal," Ruff
ner said.
His answer to most inquiries about
a replacement for cottonseed meal in
the dairy ration has been: All feeds
have advanced in price and at the
present price level, cottonseed meal
furnishes a unit of protein in the
dairy ration at a lower price than any
other feed on the market, with the
possible exception of soybean meal
and peanut meal. Both of the latter
products are scarce, however."
Prof. Ruffner says the dairyman
who has corn silage as ttie principal
roughage may well use a mixture
made up of equal parts, by weight, of
ground ear corn, wheat bran, and
cottonseed meal. "At the present
price," he declared, "those three
feeds form the base of the most
economical rations for dairy cows."
I he btate College leader says that
a dairyman who has a fairly good
grade of legume hay may use a ra
tion made up of the following: 400
pounds of ground ear corn, 300
pounds of wheat bran, and 300 pounds
of cottonseed meal.

Give Your Car High Anti-Knock in BOTH Speed Ranges
SERVICES AT WOODLAND
SUNDAY EVENING
Don't you find that you drive your
car mainly in the two speed ranges
symbolized by these boats? You use
the low speed range in traffic and the
high speed range on the open road.
Therefore for knockless driving, you
need a gasoline that gives high anti
knock in both these speed ranges
not in just one.
Sinclair H-C Gasoline gives you
this Double-Range Anti-Knock. The
reason is that H-C goes through two
special processes in refining. Try a
tankful of Sinclair H-C Gasoline today.
It gives you Double-Range Anti-
Knock, yet sells
at the price of
regular grade.
The Rev. J. D. Cranford will preach
at Woodland Methodist Church Sun
day evening at 7 o'clock. The public
is cordially invited to attend.
