Sunday School Notes
Side Lights on Next Sundays Lesson
for Teachers and Pupils.
Edited by Charles K. Meyers

JAM Deserving Jesus. Luke 8:
1-3; 8: 57-62; 10: 3S-42.
We have for the lesson this week a
wonderful presentation of scenes in
the life of Jesus, which show the de-
votion of certain people to Him and
His service, and the comments made
by the Savior on the willingness of
others to follow Him. The verses are
taken from different parts of the book
of Luke
First We are told by name of three
women who administered. to Jesus of
their substance" He was going from
that at this time Mary, called Magde-
lena, Joanna and Susanna and many
others were helpful to Him with their
substance. Happy are these women to
be thus named in connection with the
work of Jesus on the earth. They are,
however, but among thousands who
have won distinction and added bless
ings to themselves by helping the
cause of God in the world. Before
the coming of Christ are named Ra-
hab, Naomi, Ruth, Esther and others,
and since then, of Anna, Mary, Martha,
Lydia and those first noted. The his
tory of the gospel is made brilliant by
the self sacrifice, devotion, faithful
ness of the women who have suffered
martyrdom for His cause and been the
handspring for His church.
1t is told of Mary Magdelena that
from her was cast seven devils. Sure
it is that this rescue from evil was ap-
preciated and she became one of the
women who was recognized by Jesus
for her devotion to Him. Mary Mag
delena was one of the women at the
cross (Matt. 1856; who observed the
Lords burial Matt 27-61); was one
of the women who went to the sepul-
chre Sunday morning Mark 16-D;
and to her first appeared Jesus after
the resurrection mark 16-9). This is
certainly record to be proud of. She
| is not the nameless woman who was
a sinner who Amounted the feet of
the Savior as told in Luke Z; $3.50.
Joanna, another woman spoken of in
the lesson verses, is named again in
Luke "a; 10 as being at the sepulchre
on the resurrection morning. All
honor to these women and thanks be
to God for their successors in service
for His name. Service for Jesus by
giving of substance to His ministers
and missionaries to His needy ones
in the world, is still demanded.
| We now consider the second group
of verses in the lesson. 1t was at this
time when Jesus was preaching, a
man with much enthusiasm came say
ing: 81 will follow thee whithersoever
thou goest." 1t is evident that Jesus
saw that this man was Offering serv
ice because he looked forward to
place of honor in the earthly kingdom

ments for the advertising of his pub
lie sale, which will be held on
Wednesday, February 18th. Mr.. Beer
man has decided to quit farming and
consequently will have big sale. The
announcement will appear in next

A deal was consumated the fore part
of the week whereby Hans Peter Jen-
sen OF Goodrich township becomes the
owner of the fine residence owned by
Mrs. Title Selander in north Denison,
the deal being made through ]. w.
Miller Jr. We understand that Mrs.
Selander is not contemplating leav-

that the stock brought top notch prices
and that he is we'll satisfied with the
sale as whole. He is firm believer
in printers ink and is of the opinion
that the Review ad brought more buy
ers than did the ad in other papers.

which it was thought He was about to
set up, so He promptly told him no
pomp and place went with His service,
as He had not even the earthly home
of the fox or birds, in fact, no where
to lay His head. Service for Jesus
does not mean glory from men, but
sacrifice. The reward however, is a
contented mind on earth and accept
ance in heaven. TO test another man
Jesus invited him to follow Him. This
was a rare honor and the call should
have been accepted with whole heart
The man, however made excuse that
he must bury his father. To this
Jesus replied that the most important
thing for him to do was to preach the
kingdom of God There is comment
on this reply of Jesus which softens
and explains what is meant. In the
days of Jesus and at places now, the
duty of son to remain with and care
for his father until death, was made
much of. 1t was common to say, Il
must bury my father" meaning not
that the father was then dead, but the
duty to care for him until such time.
| 1t is certain that Jesus meant no dis
respect to the dead, or would keep
| loving son from attending the funeral
of his father. Another person came
| forward to serve Jesus. but made the
reservat ton that he must go home first
to bid farewell to his people. Jesus
told him and us that We must be whole
hearted in His service and that haV-
ing put hand to the plow, and looking
back, we are not fit for the kingdom.
We now come to the third groupe
Of verses which tell US OF visit OF
Jesus to the home of Martha and
Mary and bring to our minds the diff
ferent characters of these women.
Martha felt that her duty was one Of
hospitality for the distinguished guest,
so she evidently paid little attention
to the words of the Master, but
busted herself with food preparing
and arranging for the entertainment
of the company; indeed she went SO
far as to ask Jesus to send Mary from
Sitting at His feet and hearing His
words" so that she might help serve
the guests Jesus made the wonder
full reply Martha, Martha, thou art
anxious and troubled about many
lHlnSS, DuL Ouc LllllS lS uSSulul, anu
Mary has chosen that good part which
shall not be taken from her." This
remarkable answer needs little COM
ment here, for it explains itself. The
most important duty of our lives is to
save our immortal souls. Jesus stat
ed the truth we'll when He declared,
what shall it profit man to gain
the whole world and lose his own
soul?" No person must allow them
selves to become so engaged in bust
ness life or household cares as to neg
lect learning Of the words of Jesus.
His promises. His demands, His re-
wards for service. May we have
record like that of the women who
helped Jesus with their substance;
may we enter Gods service not for
place in this world; having done so,
may we not look back, and finally may
we let no worldly call keep us from
Saving our own souls"

Fined For Not Voting.

I, The outstanding feature of most
British elections is the large number of
electors who fail to record their vote.
In some countries voting is compulsory
ana electors are fined Ii they do not do
their duty as citizens and avail them
selves of the franchise.
According to the universal suffrage
law of Australia. all those on the regis
ter must record their votes. and at the
last general election in that country
10000 electors were fined sums from
SIS. I'd. downward because they neg
lected to 60 to the polls.
Spain is another country that looks
JON voting as a national duty, at least
in q municipal election. Should q citi.
zen omit to cast his vote his name is
published as a defaulter. his taxes are
increased by 2 per cent. while if he be
in the public service his, salary is re-
duced by l per cent. Mould he com.
init the fault second time he is de
barred forever from holding an cleo.
tive position or an appointment under

RINES MAY RUN
State Supreme Court Decides that He
Is Eligible as a Candidate for
State Auditor.

Henry Rines of Mora, speaker of
the lower house of the Minnesota leg
islature, is eligible for state auditor,
according to decision handed down
by the state supreme court Friday,
says the Minneapolis Tribune.
Mr.. Rines' right to make the race
was attacked by John c. Benson of
Minneapolis, who obtained from the
Hennepin county court and order di-
recting the secretary of state to show
cause why Mr.. Rines' name should not
be stricken from the primary ballot.
The suit was in measure, friend
ly one, and was brought for the pur-
pose of fixing the real status of Mr..
Rines' candidacy, which many thought
doubtful. Mr.. Rines as speaker of the
house, it was said, aided in increasing
the emoluments of the office of state
auditor. Under the constitution any
member of the legislature who aids in
the increase Of the salary of a state
office is forbidden to be candidate
for the same until year after his
own term expires. 4
The supreme court holds that the
emoluments of office in the case are
not. increased. A fat salary of $4,000
for state auditor was fixed by the last
Legislature, and this amount the court
holds is what the incumbent was re-
ceiying. The court holds that emolu-
ments are not confined to salary which
in the case of State Auditor Iverson
was $4,000, but includes fees of 5000
received by him as clerk of the drain
age board, to which the legislature
later added $400.
The court in its decision discharges
the order of the county court and ID I
reefs the dismissal of the proceedings.
Mr.. Rines filed for state auditor some
weeks ago. The test came from the
Hennepin county courts.
The syllabus is:
State ex rel. John c. Benson,
petitioner, VS.. Julius Schmahl,
secretary of state, respondent.

of 1918, are not prohibited .byj
