Pueblo chieftain., 1921-01-30

The child welfare department of the
city of Pueblo has just completed the
most successful year in its history.
The present incumbents of the offices
of the city council made the first ap-
preparation and so began the work Of
this important branch of municipal
service three years ago.
The headquarters of the child well
fare department arc located in the old
Bessemer City Hall, and work is car
ried on from there at present. Upon
the opening of the new city hall with
in II few months, the headquarters
will be moved downtown. At that
time, it will be possible for the de-
partment to cooperate with the city
health office in the handling of special
juvenile cases.
The work of the department, in
cluding the sending of specially train
ed nurses into the homes of the citi-
zens, to give instruction and assistance
in the care of infants and young chill
dren, the giving of needed medical and
surgical aid to the children of tho
poor, and the prevention and cure of
child diseases, and host of other ac-
tivitics, is progressing by leaps and
bounds, the city commissioners stated
Friday.
That the public and the various in
dustrial concerns of the city appre-
ciate and realize the value of the work
is shown in the financial report of the
child welfare department for the year
1920. January l. 1921, the expendi-
lures for the year totalled $5,762.2S.
Yet, the balance in the treasury
amounted to s674.96. Twelve months
ago. at the end of 19t9.-the balance
| in the treasury was but S1S.41.
The report for a single representa-
tive month gives an idea of the field
covered. y clinic is maintained for
children: calls are made at homes;
milk is furnished to sick and under
nourished children; children are treat
ed at a venercal clinic; operations for
adenoids and tonsils were performed,
as well as other operations of more
| or less serious nature.
When the workers find cases in the
! homes where sick children are in need
of expert attention, they have them
removed to hospitals. sanitariums. or
other places. where the attention of
specialists can be given the patients.

Even I'm semi-civilizcd lands tho sane

lesson parable. the thankleSs people
disdained the kings messengers they
were disdaining the king himself.
There is another sido to that truth.
All who go forth to any service of the
King of kings are invested with royal
dignity. "As the Father hath sent
Mo oven so send you" Gods sanction
rests upon Gods servants. Every
teacher OF Sunday school lesson.
every minister of the Gospel. every
worker In behalf Of the Kingdom.
There Is no other service on earth
equal to It. Tho lesson theme calls up
thoughts of tho countless company OF
missionaries who arc today bearing
the Kings invitation to the feast OF

In the Religious World

As an old writer put it. DO let
God be God"
Suppose we quote the Lesson Story
itself, from the Weymouth Transla-
ton:
Again Jesus spoke to them In
fiEura tive language.
The Kingdom of the Heavens
He said, may be compared to a king
who celebrated tho marriage of his
son. and sent his servants to call the
invited guests to the wedding, but
they werc unwilling to come.
".Again hc sent other servants
with n message to those who were
my breakfast is now ready
he said my bullocks and tho fat
cattle arc killed. and every prepara-
ton is made: como to tho wedding.
They however gave no heed, but
| went, ono to his homo in tho coun-
| try. another to his business: and tho
rest seized the kings servants, NAL
| treated them. and murdered them. So
the kings anger was stirred, and he
sent his troops and destroyed those
murdorors and burnt their city. Then
he said to his servants,
"Tho wedding banquet is ready,
but those who were invited were
unworthy OF It. Go out therefore to
the crossroads. and everybody you
meet invite to tho wedding"
so they went out into tho roads
and gathered together all they could
find. both bad and good. and tho
banuueting hall was filled with guests.
Now the king came in to sec
tho guests; and among them ho dis
covered one who was not wearing a
wediinE-robe.
"."My friend" no said, "how Is It
that you came in here without a we'd
ding robe?"
"'Tho man stood spccchless. Then
the king said to the servants.
Bind him hand and foot and
fling him into outer darkness; there
will bo the weeping aloud and the
gnashinS of teeth"
"'For there are many called. but
few chosen"
4. Religion A Fcnstr
observe that the parable portrays
the kingdom of heaven as n festival.
Faith produces not "A famine or "A fast,
but feast. 1t represents the fullness
and toyousness of life. The ascctics
and anchoritcs and hcrmits OF tho
carly church. whose caves may still
be seen in the wild places OF the Near
East misintcrprcted tho message OF
the Master. II Christianity cannot
work out successfully in normal rcla-
,ionship. II cannot work out at all.
Jesus. guest at weddings and ban
upon life's normal ways.
When any ono goes to Christ. he
goes to an enlarged life. and not TO
a narrowed one. There is "fullnoss Of
ioy' in His presence: an enrichment
of all experiences. To the friend Of
God in communion with Him this
earth seems fairer, its birds sing more
sweetly. its flowers bloom moro bright
Is. it's daily round is more fillod with
happiness. We give UP nothing worth
keeping. and we attain all things most
worth having, when We enter tho good
fellowship OF Christ and His friends.
That n King should so patiently and
repeatedly invite unapprcciatfvc guests
to wedding feast is the weak point
in tho parable; but that very fact
reveals tho amazing grace OF God. Hc
is Kind to the unthankful and the evil.
His bounty is extended to the undo-
serving. rhc guests who missed their
opportunity had no excuse to offer.
Commonly this parable is interpreted
AS representing tho double rejection OF
the Gospel invitation By tho Chosen
People. who are a monument TO the
| patience OF jehovah.
