In his talks in the temple during
those last days Jesus made use OF
several parallels to show the guilt of
the Jewish rulers in rejecting him.
Among these were the parallels known
as The Two Sons and The Wick
ed Husbandmen." which we had In
our last lesson. These were followed
by The Kings Marriage Feast"
which we are now TO study.
The Lesson Text In Everyday Dress.
In showing the guilt of the priests
and elders IN rejecting him Jesus liz
ened the kingdom of heaven---the new
order which he had come to set up
to a marriage feast which king
made for his son. According to Gus
tom the guests were invited some time
In advance and when the day arrived
messengers were sent to bid them
come. Strange to say, although the
feast was given by the king himself.
they treated the invitation with utter
indifference. But the king, who was
a merciful man, sent other messen-
gers to tell them what a magnificent
feast he had prepared and to again
urge them to come. The messengers

once upon time there was very,
very small fish called Ii Mummy Chug
and lived in the great ocean close be-
side the other sea things,--the whales
and the HOLSTERS and the codfishes.
They were all much larger and more
important than he, But the Mummy
chug, If he were 80 small, had very
large ideas about himself
He used To lie in the shallow water
by the beach and watch his fms glisten

STORY OF AN EAR OF CORN

In the church tower Of a town In
Germany. We are told, there hangs
bell. and on this bell there Is the i'm
age OF six-eared stalk OF corn, with
the date. October Is. 1929. engraved
upon 1t.
The flrst bell that was hung In this
tower was so small that its tones could
not be heard at the end OF the VII
lase. second bell was wanted. but
the village was poor. and there was
not the needed money. Every one
gave what he could. but the united
offerings did not amount to enough.
One Sunday the schooimaster no.
ticed growing out of the church wall
a green stalk OF corn. the seed of
which must have been dropped by .
passing bird.
The idea struck him that this stalk
of corn could be made TO produce the
second bell. He waited till the corn

was ripe, and then plucked the six
ears on IT, and sowed them In his gar
den.
The next year he gathered the little
crop and sowed It again. till he had
not enough room In his garden for
the crop, 90 he divided 1t amonx the
farmers. who sowed the ears until
the eighth year the crop was 30 large
that when II was sold there was
money enough to buy beautiful bell
with Its story and birthday engraved
upon 1t. and = cast OF the stalk to
which 1t owes Its existence.

words. but we can speak kind and

months before he is fully recovered.
