with 4 batting average Of 1000. 1t

tests with the Cardinals.
1t happened i'll the seventh of the
combats. The Brownie leader chose
himself to hit for Pitcher Taylor and
whacked out IL single off Bob Harmon,
who since has been passed over to the
Pirates. That was the only time he

Hickey will be Il bench manager, like

thrown out of the tube the girl ex-
pressed relief and said she hoped they

IeXt OF the Lesson, MATT. Xxx, lilo.
Memory Verses, G.. Z. Golden Text,
Matt. V, As.
This lesson is found only in the gos-
pei by Matthew and follows immedi-
ately his saying concerning the Son
of Man in the throne Of his glory and
the apostles upon twelve thrones judg-
ing the twelve tribes Of Israel, closing
with the words about the first being
last and the last first.
1t is sadly true that, while many
hear the glad tidings. but few compar-
atively really receive the good news,
and it is also true that of those who
become Christians but few are willing
to be disciples because Of ~selfishness
and worldliness and because they do
not know the power of his resurrec-
ton and kingdom and glory.
The present age of the mystery of
the kingdom is the time in which the
redeemed of the Lord are called to be
fellow workers unto the kingdom OF
Cod" ''laborers together with God"
"workers together with him" (Col. Nv,
II; l Cor. iii. 8; II Cor. vi, y. The ref
erence to the vineyard in this lesson
and in chapter xxi takes us back to
lisa. V, II; Ps. xxx, and other Old
Testament passages, but for us the
most helpful reference is that Of the
vine and the branches and the fruit to
the glory of God in John XIV.
Our Lord has spoken Of recompense
at the resurrection of the just. and we
know from Rev. xii, II, and l Pet. v,
4. and elsewhere that the time Of re-
ward for service will be at the second
coming Of Christ, when every II shall
receive his own reward according to
his own labor. But there is Il recon-
pense in all service even here. a fore
taste Of better things to come. Per
