Sunday School Lesson
BY REV. CHARLES E. DUNN
Forgiveness, Humility, Gratitude
Lesson for May 3rd. Luke 17:1-19.
Golden Text: Ephesians 4:32.
Luke’s gospel is good tidings for
the poor. Nowhere else is the hu
manity of our Lord 90 appealingly i
he commanded them to go and
show themselves unto the priests.
And the healing occurred as they
went. Here we learn that only
through obedience do we secure
salvation. The important thing is
not to ask for health, but to obey
the doctor’s orders.
We are amazed by the gross in
gratitude of those nine lepers who,
whether from timidity, forgetful
ness, or willful neglect, failed to
give thanks. And yet is it not a
fact that men find it hard to be
grateful? The world is fill of per
petual grumblers who are never
thankful for anything.
But there was one, a Samaritan,
who did return to bring gladness
to the Master’s heart. His grate
fulness atoned for the failure of
the rest. Thank God for him and
all like him who practice the min
istry of appreciation.

here as one of grace toward out- is behind usual, according to re

gospel reveals ,the tenderness of ricultural Statistician, Columbia, S.
Jesus. How wonderfully this com- C., April 23
'f-N
passion is revealed in that story
in our lesson of the ten lepers!
Leprosy, judging from the nu
merous references to it ih the Bible,
was & common and loathsome
disease. And it is by no means
stamped out, for there are at least
two million lepers today, one out
of every 800 persons in the world.
A lingering ailment, it turns the
hair and skin white, and gradually
disfigures the body.
Note the method by which Jesus
dealt with these lepers. He said
nothing about their sins. Quite
dearly he did not look upon lep
rosy as a punishment of sin. The
Master always reasoned from sin
to suffering, but he did not teach
that all suffering is the result of
xM.
Again, it is significant that our
Lord did not heal these lepers all
at once. He postponed the miracle.
Winter wheat condition at 75 per
cent on April 1 indicates a crop
of 988,000 bushels, which compares
with 980,000 bushels made last year
and 575,000 bushels as the average
production for the years 1928-1932.
The condition of the peach crop
was reported at 77 per cent on
April 1, which compares with 82
per cent a year earlier and a ten-
year average (1924-1932) condition
of 70 per cent.
Condition reports on Irish pota
toes at 73 per cent, rye at 76 per
cent, and pasture at 65 per cent
are slightly below average.
Supplies of grain on farms Aprtl
1 are well above recent years. Corn
on hand is reported at 11,619,000
bushels, oats at 1,368,000 bushels
and wheat at 98,000 bushels. This
compares with average supplies on
hand for the years 1928-1932 of
8,510,000 bushels for corn, 538,000

parison with the vast areas de-
tficient early in 1934 and 1935, and.
in most States may easily make
up for the late start. Farmers gen
erally appear to be expanding their
operations, although developments
in the new Soil Conservation pro
gram will undoubtedly cause some
modification of their plans. Re
ports from practically all States
show that the demand for farm
labor has increased as compared
with a year ago, that farm wages
are higher, and the number of local
men still available for employment
at current wage rates appears to
