MOVING THE LAWN.

The stream in a meadow was FLOWING
A cow beside me was lowing
A lark was making his nest all cosev
All these sounds made me dow
A bird to his mate was calm.
The water over the rocks was fallino
Geese were flying over the lagoon
l heard my mother calling for Noon
was trying to catch a trout,
And her voice made me pout,
I knew that I had felt a fish.
And thought it would make me a good
dish.
But I knew my mothers voice,
Also that I had no choice,
So home went at a trudge,
But at the gate I could not bulge
You'd never guess why I stopped,
It was because mycuscles popped,
I could not move or even STIR
So I leaned my the gate on a small
green fir.
For there by the door my mother did
stand,
I know that you've guessed what Was
in her hand,
And when the sun came up at dawn,
It found me working at moving tae
lawn.

Jesus Teaches True Values
THE WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

present generation? And notwithstand
ing all this, has any age been as rest
less. as dissatisfied, as miserable as
this generation? Is this not because
we have misplaced the center of
gravity of our lives from the abiding
spiritual values to the things that
perish and that can never satisfy even
while they abide?
Christ and the Two Brothers
AS Jesus was teaching lone out of
the multitudes said unto him, Teacher
bid any brother divide the inheritance
with me- But he said unto him, Man,
who made me a juoge or a divider
over you? And he said unto them,
Take heed and keep yourselves from
all covetousness; for a mans life con-
sisteth not in the abundance of the
things which he possesseth." There
fore, he attacked their problem by go
ing directly at the underlying cause
of the malady instead of tinkering at
symptoms. That basic fault in both
brothers alike was covetousness.
The Rich Fool
To further illustrate the curse of
covetousness and the paganism that
mistakes material abundance for the
abundant life, Jesus told the story of
the rich fool, whose whole concern
was my fruits" my barns my
grain,' my goods" all of which he
felt assured were his "for many years,
that he might take his ease, eat, drink
and be merry" But God, the sole own
er of all those things, instituted fore
closure proceedings against him that
very night and dispossessed him, say
ing, "Thou foolish one, this night IS
thy soul required of thee; and the
things which thou hast prepared
whose shall they be-" This same folly
characterizes every materialist whose
interest centers in things instead of
in God. $50 is he that layeth up trea-
sure for himself and is not rich to-
ward God" Make for yourselves pur-
ses which wax not old, treasure in

In the warm sunshine and fields OF
hay,
Where even the trees seem to sing,
And when you drink from a cool
spring.

Eat supper outdoors and spend the
night,
Let's look for the birds nest in the
trees,
Or see a squirrel hid in the leaves.

farm
See the farmer with his beard so long
Let's feed the horse and ride the colt
Let's see the pigs and tease the goat

And hope we'll be together next
