ADDITIONAL MATERIAL , FOR TEACHERS-Matt 13:1-30; 30-43. PRIMARY TOPIC— Jesus telling a story about nuwing seed. PRIMARY' MEMORY t VERSE -Be ye doers of the word.—James 1:22. \ Jesus tells sis plainly why he taught no •much by nMuhs of parables ( Matt, i 13 MO-13). The truth had to he taught; | hence the parable, that those Fo whom ft was given to know the messages of ' the kingdom, those who sought It, ! might know and understand, and that • to the others It migiit he hidden (Mark 1 4:11, 12). Like nil his parables, Jesus I draws his pictures from the common i experiences of life—the field, the home, etc. Paul draws his illustrations chief- , ly from the city, the army, the market. In studying this lesson we must turn to the- parallel account as given by l Luke and Matthew to get the full and I complete picture. coal shortage which brought about Doctor Garfield's .-drastic order i< illustrated by* tjn* shown- raiding a cprif/sir in a yard at.

This will fulfill one of George Washington's dreams of the capital city named in his honor. Tlf? government printing office Is the biggest printing plant in the world, hut Since America's entrance Into the war the capacity of that plant has been hugely overtaxed- The govern ment has bedn required to let many printing contracts to private firms, r Iil spite of the fact that trie law pro hibits such a practice except in case of absolute emergency. But the emer gency has been absolute, because of the enormous volume of publishing work incident to the war which the govern ment has fdt called upon to do— New York and Boston have regarded them selves as the publishing center of the western hemisphere and of the two New York has held the lead. Now, however, government publications ate being Issued at such a tremendous rate ttiqt their prestige is jeopardized.' In addi tion, many magazines are published here, and it is understood many more are to be published, some moving from other cities. Some two hundred periodical publication? are now being mailed from Washington. So much scientific work now is b«flng done at Washington, or at least directed from the national capital, that Washington Is gaining much prestige ns a center of science and education. The George Washington university in this city was founded by George Washington nnd lt^w-as tyis dreamJto make the national capital a great seut of learning and education. The Catholic University of America is at Washington, and Georgetown uni versity, one of the oldest in the country, hIso is located here. to soar, not Is It recorded that he was- ,, sore»’ because the people did not all receive the seed alike. He did not have a grouch; he did not enter into his work that he might receive the Adulation of men (Matt. 6:2).
