their journeying they saw field fol-
sale at certain price, and suppose
upon examination, they found 1t to
contain a great treasure. The treas
ure might consist of very excellent
soil, especially suited to their purpose
or of valuable vein of precious metal,
or Of money buried centuries ago and
forgotten, and not belonging to the
owner OF the field more than to others
who might find it. In such case any
one Of ordinary intelligence would be
willing to invest everything that he
possessed to acquire the title.
So the Master declared to those who
heard Him then, and to us who re.
ceive His words now, that He has in
formation to give respecting q Great
Treasure, a Priceless Treasure, which
can be obtained only by the expendi-
ture of great energy and the invest
ment of everything of value. The
Great Treasure is the share in the
Messianic Kingdom-that by accepting
the terms of discipleship we may be-
come not only sons of God, but heirs of
God and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ
our Lord to His heavenly Inheritance.
A Pearl of Great Value.
In the days OF our Savior pearls were
amongst the most precious of jewels,
and the larger and more nearly per-
feet the pearl the greater its value.
The Great Teacher used this familiar
matter as the basis for lesson on the
value of the Kingdom. The Merchant
of the Parable found a Pearl SO SUI

cred 1t cheap to give everything that
he possessed to become its owner.
This, said the Master, illustrates the
value Of the Kingdom, with its glory,
honor and Immortality, which | am

added unto pou."-Adttheto Vi, IS.
TODAY we have further precious
lessons from the Great Teach

The parable of the Treasure
hid In the Field" is not one of the
parallels which Jesus expounded. His
people, therefore, are left to exercise
their judgment Of it's meaning, under
the guidance Of the Holy Spirit and
the light shed upon it by other Scrip
lures. Indeed, there might be more
than one application OF it.
But our preference Of thought Is
that the Great Teacher referred, not
to Himself, but to those whom He in
structed. By virtue of His own cove

In shape the Dead sea resembles an
elongated oval, some forty-seven miles
long, and about ten miles wide at its
greatest breadth. one of the most re-
markable facts about il is that it's sur
face lies 1900 feet below that of the
Mediterranean, and as il is some 1910
feet deep I'm places, II means that its
greatest depth reaches a point no less
than 1900 feet below the waters of
the Mediterranean. II is famed for the
sadness and bitterness of it's waters,
which are extremely dense, containing
90 per cent of solid matter and being,

body. How dense the water is may
be realized from the following facts:

Get New Manager.

Johnny Kilbane, new king of rcath.
ers, announces that one of the foul
reasons why he reached the top OF
the ladder is because of the efforts OF
his manager. Jimmie Dunn. In speak
ing of Dunn he says:
Jimmie Dunn, who comes from my
home town. and who is one of the first
men I ever read about i'm the sporting
columns, is the man 10 whom / owe my

have been heard of except possibly in
Cleveland and maybe not TO any great

This leads Spargo to comment in the
Boston Traveller thusly:
II wonder just how long he'll stay
in that frame of mind. Whenever a
boxer wins n championship he says his
manager is the white-haired child, and
that he'll never forsake him. But. at
