All persons holding claims should pre sent them before that day or be de barred. D. H. LANGLEY, SARAH A. LANGLEY, Administrators. May 19, 1928.-4t. Rev. A. H. Leaman TEXT—This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sin ners: of whom I am chief.—I Tim. 1:15 The writings of the Apostle Paul form a happy combination of present- Ing truth and using his own ex perience to verify that truth. This is especially true in the above verse. He was writing to Timothy, charg ing him with cer tain responsibili ties that rested upon him as an overseer of the flock. He charged him to present clearly the work . of Christ and also urged him to keep the standard of the Christian life. Tliis text offers a wealth of sug gestion. 1. A sure declaration, “This is a faithful saying.” He bases this decla ration upon his own experience He writes in the spirit of gratitude to his Lord, who had enabled him to be counted worthy of being put into this ministry. He states how he was a blasphemer and a persecutor, but he obtained mercy through the grace of God and life which is in Christ Jesus. Is not this experience true to the ex- i>erience of every life? All of us have been sinners, alienated by our sin from the grace of God. Cannot we also say as did the Apostle Paul, “This is a faithful saying”? Christ has always been faithful to those who accepted His plan of salvation and (By REV. P «. K1T/WATKR. l> !>.. Dean Moody Blbl3 Institute of ClilcaRO.)

The certain man who planted the vineyard is God Himself. 2. The vineyard (v. 1). This means Israel (See Isa. 5:1-7, Jer. 2:21, Ps. 80:8). The Lord went to particular pains to make this nation separate. He be stowed peculiar favors upon it. 3. The husbandmen (v. 1). . These were the rulers and teachers of Israel, even members of the San hedrin. They were the spiritual guides of the people. 4. Servants sent for the fruit of the vineyard (vv. 2-5). These were the various prophets whom God sent to the nation. The maltreatment and rejection of the prophets are fully set forth in the Scriptures. 5. The well-beloved son sent (vv. 6-9). The son here is the Lord Jesus since He has redeemed us*, how we } Christ, God’s only and beloved Son. ought to be willing to tell others of His faithfulness. 2. A secure place, “Worthy of all acceptation.” Jesus Christ becomes to the be liever a safe investment. The Apostle Paul refers to this in his letter to Timothy by saying, “According to the glorious* Gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.” Not only does He become a secure place for us but we become a deposi tory for His truth. What a sacred trust He has committed to us and how faithful we ought to be in safeguard ing this trust! 3. His divine mission, “Christ Jes*us came.” Some would have us believe that Jesus was paramount to every other teacher and that would place Him as such to the exclusion of His sacrifice. Others say He was but a martyr and died for the thing He be lieved. Others tell us His mission was that of a philanthropist, pouring out His life in the land of Palestine. He came into their midst. 6. Their punishment (vv. 9-12). Jesus now asked them for their own : verdict upon such villainous ingrati tude. He took the place of a judge and pronounced judgment upon them on the basis of their own verdict. They not only rejected the kingdom, but the Son who was King; there fore the kingdom was taken from them and given to a nation bringing , forth the fruits thereof. II. The Son of Man Coming in Glory (13:1-37). This is part of the well known Olivet discourse. It gives a pro phetic view of the course of time from its utterance just before the ; crucifixion to the second advent of Christ. Two great facts are before us in this prophotic utterance, the destruction of Jerusalem and the sec ond coming of Christ. The one was near, having taken place within forty years of the crucifixion of Christ; the other is still future. The order of Thus* they emphasize the social impli- events as outlined are: cations of His life to the exclusion of. any saving power. But the thing that broke the hearts of His disciples was, “Christ died for our sins.” We 1. Moral condition of the world during Christ’s absence (vv. 1-13).

Not ^ many shall saying, one of the writers of the Epistles re- Load Of Laughs On The Way fers to Him in any other way than as a Savior. He came from the pres ence of God to bring to a lost and dy ing world a salvation to set us free from sin and give us a home in heaven. 4. The place to which lie came. “Into the world.” He left the shining courts above and the habitation of angels to come into a needy world that was* sinking in despair. All through the ages from the time oi creation, man had a tendency to run away from God. God tried to call him back through the chosen family, through the prophets and through tin- law, but man would not return. Jesus Christ took upon Himself the form of man and condescended so low as to get underneath man to bring him to the Father. He says of this act, “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth will draw all men unto me.” This is the messnge for our personal testimony, for the pulpit and our sphere of teaching. 5. The great work, “To save sin ners.” He is a Savior to all men, hav ing purchased salvation for every one. it* Is my privilege in my work to go into the very haunts of sin to carry this glorious Gospel. I have seen men In prison, In the hospital, In the gutter, and in the saloon become noble Christians when they have accepted the finished work of Jesus Christ on Calvary. How the church should en deavor to do all it can to carry these glad tidings into the highways and byways of sin! Some day we shall receive a crown studded with bright jewels and glittering gems, because we have been faithful to the charge, “Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.” 6. A personal confession, “Of whom I am chief.” Paul ever remembered Wallace Beery and Raymond Hat ton have a new expression. It’s— “Kit the deck!” T'hc pair who ludicrously stumbled at the command of “Fall in!” when they enacted roles as dumb dough- [| t e work of Christ in lifting him from boys in “Behind the Front,” launch sinking sand and placing him upon a boatload of laughs in their new the solid rock.

Children will rise up against their parents and cause them to be put to death. The preachers of the gospel shall be hated for Christ’s sake. 2 The days of the tribulation (vv. 14-23). In this time the Antichrist will ap pear according to the prophecy of Daniel. So severe will be the perse cution that except the Lord shorten the days no flesh could be saved, hut for the elect’s sake the days shall be shortened. 3. The great advent (vv. 24-31). This shall be preceded by great physical disturbances In the world. The moon shall be darkened, the stars' of heaven shall fall. “Then shall they see the Son of Man com ing in the clouds with great power and glory and He will gather His elect from the uttermost parts of the I earth and heaven.” 4. Instructions In view of the com ing of the Lord (vv. 32-34). The day and the hour of His com- ; ing are unknown to man. In view of this uncertainty we should watch and * pray. III. Warnings. Running through the thirteenth S chapter is the exhortation to take heed. In teaching the lesson it would be well to gather them up in their order. 1. Take heed against deceivers ( r. 5). 2. Take heed to yourselves (v. 9). 3. Take heed against the time of the Lord’s coming (v. 33). The one command to all is “watch.” Episcopal Services At Willington There will be service at St. Steph ens’ Church, Willington, on the first and third Sundays cf each month.
