JESUS CALLS FOUR DISCIPLES
LESSON TEXT—Luke 5:1-11.
GOLDEN TEXT—Come ye after me, and
1 will make you to become fishers of men.
—Mark 1:17.
Followers of Christ are those who
have not counted their goods nor
their persons their own, but have
willingly yielded all to Him. Obvi
ously many who profess to follow
' Him have only done so in that meas
ure which will not interfere with
their own plans and interests. They
need to study this lesson with care.
The call of Christ is one which
demands willing and wholehearted
obedience.
I. Yielded Possessions (w. 1-3).
These disciples had already re
sponded to the ministry of Jesus
and had followed Him for a time
(see John 1:35-4:54), but they did
not yet know the fullness of sur
render to Christ and had now gone
back to their old work of fishing.
May they not be typical of many in
our day who know the Lord and
have for a time followed Him close
ly, but have again become en
grossed in their daily vocation, per
haps just making money?
Jesus was now ready to call them
out into a lifetime of service, and the
first thing He did was to ask the use
of their chief possession, their boat.
That was first yielded to Him.
It was not by chance that it was
Peter’s boat which was just at hand
when the Master needed it. Such
things do not “just happen.” The
destinies of men are in the hands
of God, and with His children the
simplest happening is known to and
controlled by Him. He who num
bers the hairs on our heads. He who
observes the fall of the sparrow,
knows about everything that hap
pens to us.
II. Yielded Service (w. 4-7).
Having completed His teaching by
word, Jesus had a special object
lesson for Peter and the others con
cerning the fruitlessness of service
apart from His guidance and con
trol, and the blessed results which
come from obedience to Him.
Taking them where he found
them. He showed the disciples that
He was the Master even of their
secular vocation of fishing. He is
the One who knows more about your
business than you do, who can give
or withhold His blessing. Ail that
we have has come tb us from His
hand, and it is all within His con
trol.
This Almighty One was ready to
call these fishermen out into the
greater business of fishing for men
by revealing to them His mighty
power to bless and prosper the fish
erman—who becomes a fisher of
men.
III. Yielded Lives (vv. 8-11).
The giving of their possessions,
the yielding of their work into
His hands in obedience, led up to
His call for the yielding of their
lives. *
Often we speak of God’s claims
upon the life of the Christian as
though it were the fiat of an auto
crat, one who demands his rights.
God might well do so, for He has
full authority and power over all
of us, but He is a gracious God and
gently leads His children along to
the place where they make their
own decision to leave all and fol
low Him.
The work of God in the world is
carried on by men. The joy of pro
claiming the gospel was not given
to the angels, but to redeemed men
and women. Knowing the regener
ating grace of God in their own
lives, they have been called during
all this Christian era to go out to
tell others.
In preparation for that ministry
our Lord needed yielded lives,
which He sought and found in these
humble fishermen. They were “not
visionaries or dreamers, but were
practical men with common sense.
They had been disciplined in the
school of common toil . . . Though
unlearned so far as formal theolog
ical training was concerned, these
men were teachable. Under the
tutelage of the Son of God Him
self they received matchless infor
mal training . . . leading to a rec
ord of service which the world will
never forget. It is that sort of
teaching that counts. We, too, may
learn in the school of Christ, through
a study of His Word assisted by His
Spirit, and through the yielding of
our lives to His control” (B. L.
Olmstead).
Christ no longer walks this earth
to seek and call out disciples as He
did these men, but the blessed suc
cession of those of whom it may
be said, “They forsook all and fol
lowed Him” (v. 11), continues to this
day.
We repeat what we have said be
fore, that one of the thrilling things
about teaching Sunday school is that
somewhere, in some class this next
Sunday, God is going to touch the
heart of some boy or girl who will
be a leader for Him for the next gen-
erj t’on.
Trader Rat
The wood rat, Neotoma fuscipes,
of California, also known a? the
trdde or pack rat, is notoroious for
raiding camps and cabins and
“trading” a twig or pebble for
some article, says Collier’s. A
search through several of their
nests recently disclosed such ob
jects as watches, keys, pencils,
eyeglasses, mirroys, jolts, etc.
Americans in Westminster Abbey
Only three Americans have been
honored by the British with a

stained - glass window, Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow with a bust
and Walter Hines Page with a
marble tablet.

a bottle of Creomulslon with the un

# In bringing us buying Information, os
to prlcos that oro bulng oskod for
what wo Intend to buy, and os to the
quality we can expect, the advertising
columns of this newspaper perform o
worth while service which saves us
many dollars a year,
# It Is a good habit to form, the habit
of consulting the advertisements every
time we make a purchase, though +:*

want and where we are going to buy
It. It gives us the most priceless feeling
fn the worldi the feeling of being
adequately prepared.
# When we go Into a store, prepared
beforehand with knowledge of what is

the feeling of adequacy. Most of the
unhappiness In the world can be traced
to o lack of this feeling. Thus adver

making all our business relationships
