WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
paRABLES OF THE KINGDOM
By HIGHT c. MOORE

discovers one of the treasures
sometimes hidden in the field for
safe keeping in troublous times.
He rehides the treasure, goes and
sells his property, and buys the
field. Then according to Jewish
law and the treasure reverts to
him.. and he becomes the happy
possessor of the new-found rich
eS. How true this was to life in
the case of the apostles! As it
were by happy chance. though of
course by divine design, they dis
covered the hidden treasure of
the Messiah's Kingdom. 1t was
infinitely better and more valu-
able than all else they could call
their own. Willingly and devot-
eddy they fOrsook all and follow
ed Jesus.
4. A PARABLE OF SACRIFICE
The Parable of the Pearl set
forth the sacrifice of the king
dom. Here we have the element
of seeking and so of greater ap-
probation than shown in the dis
cOvery of the treasure. A mer-
chant is visiting the various mar
ketS at the centerS of commerce
in order that he might add good
" pearls to his own stock at
home. On the round he finds a
pearl of great price. His appre-
citation of it is so high that he
sells out his entire stock and Sc
cures this one pearl. The init
nation is that he acted wisely
and made a good bargain. The
Jews had thought that without
effort on their part they would
be entitled to the blessings of the
Messianic age. To the idea this
parable is unalterably hostile.
Only the seekers find, and only
those who part with all else for
the discovered pearl that is price
less can enjoy it's possession.
S. A PARABLE OF
CONSUMMATION
The Parable of the Dragnet set
forth the consummation of the
kingdom. A group of fishermen
cast their dragnet into the sea,
enclosing fish of all kinds. They
draw it up on the beach and then
sort out the haul, storing the
good in vessels and casting the
bad away. Even so, a just and
wise separation will be made be-
tween the subjects and the foes
of the Messiah in the end of the
world. Then angels at the bid
ding of the King shall come forth
and sever the wicked from among
the righteous. Those who on
earth refused to enter the king
dom will then in the white light
of imnartial Justice be refused
even the external radiance of its
blessing. for they shall be cast
into the furnace of fire where
flowing tears and grinding teeth
are the faint symbols of woe un=
utterable and amending.

FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS

A today's national conference in Wash
L n ington the administration doubtless will
avow again its intention of urging upon the
new congress program of laws to meet the
pressing problems of want and insecurity. The
program by now should be formulated, at
least as to general principles.
The United States is years behind other in
dustrial countries in establishing a system to
mitigate the hazards of unemployment, in
digent old age, widowhood, and sickness. The
fifth winter of depression finds us still with
no better answer to the suffering of several
million jobleSs and their families than costly,
degrading and inadequate poor relief hand
outs. Last winter, when congress wanted to
pass the Wagner-Lewis and Dill Connery bills,
the White House urged delay until a broad
er security program could be worked out. Ad-
ministration experts have been working on
such program since last July.
Whatever the final details of the plan,
it is apparent that state cooperation will be
needed. The year 1885 will be big legis-
lative year. Out of the forty-eght legis-
latures, forty-three meet next spring. Some
nine of the states have taken initial steps
toward unemployment insurance. laws, and
have commissions at work preparing legs-
lation. If security is to be worked out under
a federal-state cooperative plan the states
should know just what congress proposes be-
fore spring.
There is little effective opposition now to
an American plan for economic security. Even
those who fear its cost know that it will be
cheaper than the present way, cheaper in dol
lars as we'll as in human values. On the other
hand, many suffering citizens are so aroused
that they are willing to back the most fam
tastic of crack-pot schemes, such as the Town
send plan, if necessary.
With fortnight leadership from both the
White House and congress a sound program
can be adopted in the early days of the new
session. Social security should be made the
first order of business of the new congress.

HUEY LONG COLLECTS

WHEN the football team of Louisiana
w State university went up to Nashville,
Tenn. to play the Vanderbilt team Senator
Huey Long made it possible for the teams
rooters to go along by loaning 81 apiece to
some 500 students.
Any one who has ever had much experience
with the attitude of college students toward
small loans of this kind must have doubted
that the Kingfish would ever see much of his
money again. But either the Kingtish is an
able debt collector, or the Louisiana State lads
are a little more conscientious than their
brethren on other campuses for the loans are
actually being repaid The senator doubts
that he will lose even 500.
A man who can loan 81 apiece to 500 col
lege boys and get practically all Of it back is
nothing less than genius at finance.

FOR BETTER LEGISLATION

CENATOR GEORGE w. NORRIS has been
~ fighting for a new governmental system
in Nebraska, under which the traditional
two-chamber legislature would be replaced
by a single lawmaking body The Ameri-
can Legislators Association recently con-
Quoted an interesting little poll on the sub
ject.
The association found that members Of
state legislatures-who would stand to lose
their jobs if such scheme were adopted
were against it by approximately three to
one. On the other hand, professors of po-
litical science-woh have no conceivable ak
to grind, either way-favored it by ma
jority of about six to one.
The result of the poll leaves one with the
feeling that the proposition might well be
worth consideration by other states.

TOWARD THE FUTURE

THE ordinary citizen sometimes has trouble
- figuring out exactly what all of these
high-speed airplane flights across the con-
tinent are worth. Colonel Roscoe Turner has
shown that good man in a good plane can
get from ocean to ocean in considerably less
time than the span between sunrise and sun
set; now Eddie Rickenbacker puts New York
within twelve hours of Los Angeles. But
many people still are wondering whether these
achievements have any special value except
as spectacular stunts.
The answer is that they are necessary ex-
perimental steps in the development of avia-
ton as a reliable means of high-speed trans
portation. Our country is so vast, and its
spaces are so great, that it needs that kind
of transportation very much indeed; and the
Turner's and Rickenbackers are simply per-
forming the experiments which make it pos
sible The speeds they make today will be
made tomorrow by regular commercial air.

MERCY FOR CANISTER

CTATES which provide capital punishment
~ for the crime of murder usually have a
law under which jury convicting man OF
first degree murder can add to its verdict a
recommendation for mercy Such recon-
mendation prevents the death penalty, making
life imprisonment mandatory.
A provision of that kind is essential. But
the things juries do with it are some times
very hard to understand.
A jury in Toledo, O., recently tried a big
shot gangster. He was accused of having di-
rected the killing of four other gangsters, in
typical gangland style. The jury found him
guilty-but recommended mercy
Offhand, one would think gangster the
last person to deserve such a recommendation.
He was either guilty of the murder or not
guilty. If not guilty, he deserved acquittal;
if guilty it is hard to think of any reason why
the jury should go out of its way to extend
leniency to him.

COOPERATION is SECRET
OF NATIONS PROSPERITY

BY Times Reader.
The reason for our economic de-
bacle lies in the fact that society
moves too slowly in making social
changes necessary to maintain an
economic balance. We are bound by
the chains of precedent, habits and
shallow thinking. Our personal in
terest looms larger than our social
interest.
We fail to realize that economic
liberty rests upon the same founda-
ton as political and personal lib
erty. We speak of our independence
politically as though we could do
anything we please. Society would
break up at once if every one we're
allowed to do as he pleased. The
restrictions placed upon personal
liberty insures a larger individual
and collective liberty. The business
man who claims he runs his own
business as he pleases. won't run it
very long unless he runs it to please
his patrons.
Neither can he get the co-opera-
ton of others in the operation Of
the business, unless he gives con-
sideration to the wishes Of his en-
ployes. He is far from independent
in using his own ideas. If his ideas
fail to meet approval Of others, the
business will fail.
Failure to meet changing condi-
tons is frequently the cause of
bankruptcy. Economic independ-
ence is a myth in an interdependent
social order. Individualism run
amuck is responsible for our failure
to maintain economic balance.
Those who succeed in gaining the
greatest amount of cooperation
from others in their business are
most likely to succeed. If this is
good business for any single busi-
ness, it is much more true of our
entire business structure.
When We are willing to change
from individual economic control to
social cooperation we shall be able
to create continuous prosperity.

seems to have the correct lineup
on the matter, however. think out
of courtesy to the new administra-

should be an audit made in city'S
finances and the ways of doing bust
ness, so that the taxpayers might
have a glimpse at it once in a life

An audit of citys finances every

them three or four weeks later. I
had the complaints when I was
working on the unemployed with

When he went over he was a
strong, healthy young man; when he
came back he was a wreck. He
looked older than his father and
could not speak a word. He had been
gassed, and in very short time his
hair, which formerly had been
black as coal, turned snow white.
He has tried several times to get a
pension, but never has been able to
do so. If ever any one needed it,
he does. Last winter he had to ask
for help from the relief. How many
more are there like him?
There are several persons in
Thorntown who are being taken care
of in the same way. You don't have
to go far to find them.

When the New Dealers started
off with their recovery pro-
gram, I was living and working at
the same place that have been
for more than eleven years. I
was very much interested, regard
less of my political views and I
never have tried to hinder in any
way. In fact, would welcome
good times, regardless of what po-
litical party brought them.
But it was my opinion at the
start of the New Deal that it
would not belong until the loyal
Democrats would be trying to tell
us that everything is o. k. and to
give them more time and things
we're not as bad they could be, and
if you don't like our plan, you can
go somewhere else.
These are the things that the
political plum pickers are telling
us here.
Mr.. Russell, on Nov. 8, wanted to
know where I have been the last
year and half. I have been here
for the last eleven years, and the
last year and half have been just
