Verses 51-53.-The true scholar.
Scribe The antagonism
shown by this class Of men to Jesus
must not blind us to the important
work which they rendered in preserv-
ing the text of the Scriptures. Jesus
recognized their services when he COM
pared his disciples to them. Just as
the scribes were first learners before
they became teachers. so must the dis
ciples of Jesus be INSTRUCTED unto
"made disciple to the kingdom Of
heaven" (revision. Things
new and old" The scribes were retail
ers in the old, and their method Of
learning was defective. The true
scholar confesses ignorance. and he is
willing to learn from those who are
wiser than he. and he is never through
with learning. SO he keeps an open
mind to new light. Jesus came not to
destroy. but to fulfill. He recognized
what was of value In the established
traditions. but he also saw consider
able merit In new truth and expressed
Il In the language Of the day. The
thoughtful disciple Of Jesus will appeal
both to those who love the old and to
those who incline toward the new.
These are days of transition and
change. but not on that account are
they goddess days One of the pressing
needs is to have leaders In the church
who will conserve the best that there
is OF the old and also appreciate what
Is new. 80 G31 Al

Verses 44-46.-The highest good.
We must not interpret the parallels
I'm all their details. Jesus was keen
observer and graphic reporter, and
he spoke out of a rich experience OF
life. His parallels are pictures of the
customs and conditions of the times,
but they were spoken to illustrate re-
ligion. We should therefore seek the
leading thought in each parable.
"Treasure hid in field" 1t was a
common custom for people to bury
their wealth i'm those early days when
there were no banks or bonds or other
ways of making investments. 1t often
happened that the secret was kept so
well that in case of death or other
misfortune to the owner the place Of
burial was lost "IIath found" This
was q happy incident, and so delighted
was the peasant that he promptly took
measures and bought that field,' in
which he had left the treasure as he
found it until he had secured legal
claim to the land. We are not con-
cerned with the honesty of the man.
but with his readiness to know good
thing when he saw 1t and his willing
ness to secure it at any cost.
Seeking goodly pearls" This was
probably ut the pearl fisheries, where
the best bargains could be made by
experts. "One pearl of great price"
The merchant was looking for the best
investments in his business, and when
he saw an unusual opportunity he
seized 1t without delay. sold all that
he had" This was speculation. but
that is not the lesson of the parable.
II is his readiness to venture all that
he might win what he realized was
fortune.

and the school medical officers. The
idea Is to collect not money, but per-
sonal services from every field Of oh
servation in ordeN to emphasize sta

are among the praGtfcahpoints OF pub
lie instruction that are included in
this sanitary campaign.
An Indication Of the progress which
has been made in the effort was shown
ut the time It was proposed to have
q national health week" Ministers
preached sermons on the affinity of
cleanliness to goodness, and other
hygienic points were brought to strik-
ing attention. Local committees have
been organized all over the country at
places having an aggregate population
of 3 100000.
