RUNYAN Associate Editor, Moody Bible Institute. Chicago. l. Every day in the year TEXTS—Soul, take thine ease.—Luke 12:19. He went away sorrowful.—Mark 10:- 22. Demas hath' forsaken me, having loved this present world.—II Tim. 4:10. In the story of Christ’s nativity, the journey and gifts of the Wise Men are accorded en- during honor. These men hailed His sign, followed Flis star, found His abode, wor- i shiped Him and laid rare trophies at His feet. Whoever of any age or clime does likewise is a wise man. But had you taken note of the Rev. W. M. Runyan, thr.ee unwise men? Our texts introduce them. A reading of the as sociated scriptures will justify the charge placed against them. The respective deeds of these men were as though one of the Men of the East had not so much as seen the Star; as though another had come to the Child, but withheld his gift; and as though the third had laid down his gift at the feet of the Holy One, and of a sudden had snatched it up and borne it away. Of the three unwise men, the first reckoned without Christ; the second rejected Christ; and the third re nounced Christ. He who reckoned without Christ found his barns bursting with the abundance of his harvest. He said. “Soul, take thine ease.” Christ’s re buke cuts. “Thou fool; this night shall thy soul be required^ of thee. Then whose shall these things be?” The ricli fooi was a crass material ist. presuming to satisfy the soul with things; inviting moral decay by sloth and indulgence. What had made him what he was, we cannot know. Per haps lie was the product of material istic education while a youth. Ma terialists and sensualists are the out put of God-forgetting, Bible-denying. Christ-rejecting institutions of learn ing. Perhaps he was a fool because he was rich. Wealth wrecks its le gions. The second /unwise man rejected Christ. He was young, rich, a ruler; upstanding and well-favored. “Jesus beholding him loved him.” He was of the lovable sort. But out of di vine love Jesus said, “One thing thou iackest.” Tiie young man’s interest in the new religion was limited to the desir ability of adding it to such things as he already possessed. Discipleship at si considerable cost was not his purpose. He sought a “bargain-counter” reli gion. Bift when o?ie patronizes the bargain counter for a Christian ex perience, it will at best be tawdry and disappointing. This man prized property beyond ideals. He chose the pleasures of plenty for a season rather than the spiritual opulence .hat Moses gained when he had come to years, by refus ing to he called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, accepting affliction with the people of God, having respect unto the recompense of the reward. (Heb. 11:24, 23.) But alas for the third unwise man. Demas, the deserter! He renounced high and holy associations and fellow ships. He was blinded by the glamour of the present, flinging away the glory that excelleth. He was traitor to Christ and to his former comrades in holy service. How is the word “traitor” loathed! The stories of fine and heroic loyalties thrill our hearts alike in times of peace and war. Little it becomes us to pass on the odium of disloyalty to Peter, Judas and Demas, if we, too, are untrue. No finer trait is known to humanity than loyalty, fidelity. Linked to Christ and all holy things, it is sanctified indeed. The Bible narratives that have most endeared themselves to the heart of the church are built around this no bleness. The windows flung open to ward Jerusalem by faithful Daniel, who was given to the lions; the un yielding Hebrew children who trod the fiery furnace, have supplied new courage to many a youth. Faithful Stephen, stoned to the death, seeing the heavens open and Jesus standing at the right hand of God; Paul who in much tribulation declared, “None of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, that I may finish my course with joy!” are New Testament exemplars of fidelity, the records of whose stead fastness have blessed the centuries. For each of us, the common task and the daily deed afford the arena for the exalted victories of fidelity.

RUPTURE SHIELD EXPERT HERE oh. that my tongue might so possess The accent of His tenderness, That every word I breathe should bless! For those who mourn, a word of cheer; I A word of hope for those who fear; j And love to all men, far and near. t Oh, that it might be said of me, “Surely thy speech bewrayeth thee As friend to Christ of Galilee.” E. J. MemhardJ of Chicago, the well-known expert, will personally be at the Richmond Hotel, Augusta, Ga., on Thursday only, April 5th, from 9:00 a. m. to 3:00 p. m. Mr. Meinha^di says: “The Meinhardi Vacuum Sh'eld” will not only retain the Rupture per fectly, but contracts the opening in 10 days on the average case—usually giving instantaneous relief with standing all strain regardless of the size or location of the Rupture. CAUTION—Do not expose your self to the danger of wealing old- style trusses with understraps. These trusses usually place the pad on the lump and not on the rupture open ; ng. This often causes strangulation which usually necessitates an im mediate surgical operation or results in sudden death. “The Meinhardi Vacuum Shield” has no' understraps. It is also per- pectly sanitary and practically in- destructable and can be w'orn w’hile bath'ng. Ruptures often cause Stomach Trouble, Backache, Constipation, Nervousness and other ailments which promptly disappear after the Rupture is properly returned. Only gentlemen are invited to call at th:s time as special arrangements will be announced later for women i and children.

Improved Uniform International SimdaySchool Lesson’ 7 (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D.D., Dean Moody Blbl? Institute of Chicago.) (©. 1028. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for April 8 THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST (EASTER LESSON) LESSON TEXT—Mark 16:1-20. GOLDEN TEXT—Because I live y# shall live also. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Comes to Life Again. JUNIOR TOPIC—Christ Rises from the Grave. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Jesus, Our Living' Leader. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—The Power of the Resurrection. I. The Ministry of Love (vv. 1-4). 1. By whom (v. 1). Mary Magda lene, the mother of James and Sa lome. They brought sweet spices with which to anoint Him. 2. When? (v. 2). Early In the morning of the first day of the week. 3. Their perplexity (vv. 3, 4). They questioned as to who should roll away the large stone from the mouth of tile tomb. To their surprise they found the stone removed. II. The Angel in the Tomb(vv.5-8) Jesus knew that these women would come to the sepulcher with per plexed and unbelieving hearts so lie had an angel waiting there to an nounce to them the fact of His resur rection. Note the angel's message: 1. “Be not afraid” (v. G). 2. “Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified” (v. 6). This threefold designation with marvelous clearness shows (l) His humanity—Jesus. (2) Lowly residence—Nazareth. (3) Ig nominious death—crucified. “He is risen; He is not here. Behold the place where they laid Him” (v. G). These words throw light upon His birth, humility and shame ful death. He who was born in low ly circumstances and suffered the shameful death on the cross, is now the conqueror of death. His resur rection gives meaning to His dentil. ”If Christ be not risen your faith is vain, ye are yet in your sins” (I Cor. 15:17). 4. “Go your way, tell His disciples and Peter” (v. 7). As soon as it was known that Christ was risen from the dead they were to tell it to the disciples. The disciples ail needed tliis blessed news, but Peter espe ciaily, since He had utterly denied Him. 5. “He goeth before you into Gali leo, there shall ye see Him” (v. 7) Christ had told the disciples that He would rise from the dead and meet them in Galilee, hut their unbelief kept them from this blessed truth. III. The Appearances of the Risen Christ (vv. 9-14). These appearances had as their ob ject the restoration of the disciples from their awful failure and discour agement and convincing them with out a peradventure of a doubt of rhrist’s resurrection. Since His res urrection was to be the central theme of apostolic preaching, it was neces sary that they have a certainty of knowledge as,to this matter (Acts 1 :3). Without the resurrection of Christ His death would he meaning less. Out of the ten or more appear ances. Mark selects three. 1. To Mary Magdalene (vv. 9-11). Mary’S heart responded to the Savior who had graciously delivered her from demons. Her sufferings were no doubt terrible. She was first at the tomb; her devotion was amply re warded by being first to meet the risen Lord. Though her faith was weak she went at once and told the story to the disciples. 2. To two disciples on the way to Emmaus (vv. 12, 13). Luke gives full particulars concerning this appenr- .‘inee (Luke 24:13-25). Jesus had walked, talked and eaten with them. 3. The eleven discipies (v. 14). Christ appeared to them while sitting at meat and reproved them for their unbelief. The fact that they stead fastly resisted the testimony that Christ had risen, and yet afterward were willing to risk their lives in the proclamation of this truth proves the genuineness of their faith. IV. The Commission of the Risen Lord (vv. 15-18). After the disciples were convinced of tiie truth of His resurrection. Christ sent them forth to “preach the gospel to every creature.” What a glorious and supreme task is this. What a blessed issue to those who be lieve and how awful to them that be lieve not. “He that believeth and Is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned” (v. IG). V. The Activity of the Enthroned Christ (vv. 19, 20). After giving the disciples their commission He ascended on high and from the unseen sphere directed their activities. Wherever they wont He confirmed their word. He does the same for His disciples today. CHOM CARDS Plum Branch M. E. Charge Beginning first Sunday in Febru ary, the Plum Branch M.
