Farming, ranching and fru.t growing is bv- com.ng “b.g business’’ whether we l.ke it or not. The present owners, of small units will sell out or com bine with larger un.ts.

Le; son !'• or An:. 1 3: Mark 27-34, Luke 9:2if-; 35. 51. ■Mt: morj jn: Mark 3:34. - In tne .?. cunci q, ujrler we cv.nt.nue stubii .■5 in file L.fi e of Chris t. Today we 1; :> t t' 1 nis.der the Great Con.es- t'ion. Tne ^ J13 L 0 wus amc )ng the sou re C' of the J urdan riv* er. The Con ft ^ssion came after Jesus ahd asked the opinions of men concern ing himself and had then asked the disciples their own opinion. H.s thoughts “turning toward the Cross,’’ Jesus then began to tell the disciples of the things that awaited him. In the consternation that fol lowed, Peter, as usual, was the spokesman. He seemingly took Jesus aside and advised him not to talks about sufferings and death. Having just risen to a great height in the Great Confession, so soon Peter be came presumptuous. Jesus, rebuking Peter, issued a challenging call to the multitude to deny themselves and share in the sacrifices he was to make. Tne transfiguration with only Peter and James and John witn Jesus, evidently came to Jesus as he prayed, and was given him for his own assurance and also to strengthen the faith of the disciples. Great Confession and Tansfigura- tion beta pointed to the Cross that awa.ted Jesus and soon, as the last passage of the lesson tells us, Jesus ‘steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.’’ He was going to the Cross. And what a blessring it would be to a sorrowing and anxious world if all men would turn toward the Cross. NEW "ROCKEr ENGINE NOW OFFERED IN A LOWER PRICE RANOE ...
