PARALLELS OF OUR LORD
The Prodigsl in "A Far Country"
BY DR.. A. C. Bearer

Text: The younger son gather
ed all together and took his jour
ney into a far country. Luke
1913.
The father in the parable rep
resents God. The foolish prodigal
is hayward, sinful man. The far
country is the sinful state of
Gods foolish human son.. AS the
prodigal was born in the house Of
his father, so man was "made up
right" and was near TO and in
harmony with God. AS the result
of original sin and moral deprav-
ity, every natural man is found in
the "far country"-away from
God.
the "far country, influence
of evil associates was detrimental
and degrading. False friends and
selfish advisors constituted
problem of serious proportions.
And the entire situation was an
imminent menace toall of his
most vital interests. So, all of
these difficulties and problems.
and more and worse tran trel
beset the man in the "far coun-
try" of sin-and away from God.
But, after all. the prodigal's
"far country was not very far.
He could walk home, despite his
weakened and emaciated condi-
ton. So it is true that the "far
country" of sin is not far from
the kingdom of God, mans heav-
emily Father. 1t abuts the Lords
domain, so that one has only to
step "oer the line" 1t is so near,
that the Father con see and hear
what is done and said there. Too,
the prodigal can hear the voice Of
his Father calling him to come
home. But, destruction will be the
portion of all who remain in the
far country of sin, and die
there. .,......s.s,

Manager Steve O'NeiII ShuffIes
Men About to Beat Blues
in 10th

Chicago, May 9.-(AP>-Toledo's
Mud Hens may not finish very high
in the American Association cham
pionship race, but the athletes prob
ably will get plenty of education be-
fore the season ends.
Injuries and experiments have
made 1t necessary for Manager Steve
O'Neill to shift his players from posi-
ton to position, and probably not
club in the league has such COL
lection of all-around performers.
Last week the Hens ran out of catch
ers so O'Neill sent George before, an
infielder, behind the bat, where he
did bangup job.
Monday Pilot O'Neill went even
farther. He did most of the CATCH
ing himself, but sent in a pinch bats
man in the ninth. before was moved
from third base to catch. Hal Trosky
joined up as a pinch hitter for Pete
Turgeon in the same inning which
produced one run and tie with
Kansas City. Trosky remained as
Businessman and Bill Sweeney
moved over to play second base.
The elaborate manoeuvering had
the desired result, for Toledo finally
won, 4 to 3, in 10 innings. The ty-
Ing run was produced when Bellande,
batting for Pitcher Monte Pearson
walked and came home on Eddie
Montague's triple. Singles by De-
tore and Frank Doljack, followed by
Sweeney's long fly, accounted for the
winning run.
A tremendous home run with a
man on in the fourth by Stanley
Schino gave the Blues a 2-all tie and
they took the lead in the seventh
only to fall before O'Neills juggling
tactics.
Rain accounted for the rest OF the
days schedule.
