They were humble fishermen of the Sea of Galilee; Jesus invited them to come after him, promising them that he would .make them fishers of men. Across Galilee,, in the land of Gadara, was a demoniac who made his dwelling among the tombs. But after his meeting with Jesus and the evil spirits had been cast out of him, he was found clothed and in his right mind. Jesus was going into the , ship, preparatory to the return to the • 'stern side of Galilee, when t, man came and “be sought Him that, he might be with Him.” Jesus rather bade him go home and tell his friends what Jesus had done for him. • So many a man is called by the | Lord to be a witness of the gospel ■ at home. Bartimaeus, who had long : groped in the darkness of blind ness, called into the world of : sight, in his gratitude followed Jesus. In Capernaum was a publican named Matthew, sometimes called Levi. When Jesus came • his way and called . him, he straightway left his money tables and followed Jesus. All these followed Jesus at . once, followed him to great serv ice and blessing to their fellows, to men in their own generation and in generations to come. may we, when Jesus calls us int^ his friendship, arise and follow Explains Aim Of Treasury In Selling Series E,F And G Savings Bonds Columbia, April 3. — The six fold aim of the Treasury in con tinuing to sell Series E, P and G Savings Bonds in . peacetime was explained today •* by *.
