HARPER t Jesus Teaches in Parables. Lesson for January 23: Mark 4: 1-34. Golden Text: Mark 4:23. The lesson tells of a unique arrangement for preaching in the open. From a ship Jesus spoke to the people on the shore of Gali lee. It was the first time used parables. A parable story of earthly things to trate heavenly things. The disciples asked Jesus he spoke in parables; his answer seemingly indicated a purpose to confuse the people, but surely that could not have been the Lord’s purpose. The words of Jesus, Jesus is a illus-* why given by Matthew: “Therefore speak I to them in parables; be cause they seeing see not,” indi cate his purpose to lead the peo pie to get the truth through a parable. In the first parable, the sower tn his work represents the sowing of the Word. Let the reader think how he can help to sow the truth. That will be his work. How the truth is received will be the responsibility of those who re ceive it. The seed growing even while the sower sleeps- shows the life that is in the divine truth. The same is true of the mustard ^-et us have confidence in the truth to accomplish the -things lor wmon it is given, m our work in Christ’s name we deal not in mere words but in the living truth which may be blessed to the souls of men—beyond our imagining. The closing words of the lesson indicate that Jesus spoke yet other parables. And for a time he socke only in para bles, which he afterward explained to the disciples. The clause, “a they were able to hear it,” shows the care of Jesus to lead the peo ple to understand, and to proceed from one truth to another, as the people were prepared to receive it.

When you’ve answered that question, buy at least one extra $100 Bond now—at your office or plant, if possible. And if you’ve already bought, buy again this month—and keep ’em! lefiM BACK THE ATTACK!
