why 50 many do not accept Christ

Jesus Invites All People, Luxe
14:15-24, for Sunday, April 5:
Here we have salvation portrayed
as a feast to which many are invlt-
ed, and when men began to make
excuses, servants were sent into the
highways to bid people to come, for
Christ's great table Of blessings
must be filled.
v. Is. "And when one OF them
that sat at meat with him heard
these things, he said unto him,
Blessed is he that shall eat bread
in the kingdom of God" The speak
er was all sufficient and freely con-
graduated himself as one of the Sc
lect of God; this occasion offered an
opportunity for teaching Gods uni
versal invitation.
v. 16, IT. '"Then said he unto
him, A certain man made great
supper and bade many; and sent his
servant at supper time to say unto
them that were bidden, Come for all
things are ready" The great sup
per is the gospel feast offering par
don for sin, purity Of heart, peace
and fellowship with God, righteous
ness of character and conduct and
eternal life Being such a great
supper, the invitation to attend is
great-so great that excuses for
non-attendance are invalid.
v. IS. "And they all with one
To IL
first said unto him, / have bought
a piece of ground, and l must needs
go and see it; pray thee have me
excused" Note those invited were
not bad folks; they simply were not
bad in themselves; they united in
refusing the invitation as If they
were justified by numbers. The first
excuse was founded on pride-he
was a man of affairs so that he
could command much power. In
the excuse was a lie, for he might
have looked after the business the
next day.
V. 10. "And another said, have
bought five yoke of oxen, and / go
to prove them; pray thee have me
excused" This excuse was founded
on profit. By making good bargains
it might be some day he could own
land, too, and be in company with
the first man. He was selfish as all
sinners are, who, to crafty them
selves and their own worldliness
and sins, refuse to accept the offers
Of the gospel.
V. 20. And another said, | have
married wife, and therefore | cam
not come" This excuse was found
ed on pleasure as one OF the high
moments of joy are the honeymoon
days. The love Of earthly relatives
and friends often detracts from our
love fer God, and indulging in good
times to excess diverts ones atten-
tion from things spiritual Note
that in each instance that which in
terfered was not in itself sinful, but

ARMED BANDITS
 ROBBED STATION
Walter Beebe Gasoline Place on Naugatuck Rd.
 Is Touched for BOOdle

Naugatuck, Jan. 1.-Two armed bandits held up and robbed the gasoline station owned by Walter Beebe at Dead Mans curve on the Naugatuck- Waterbury road at 1:45 o'clock this morning and robbed the till of $62.84 while the at- tendant, Donald Garrison was held at a distance. The robbery was said to be the most daring penetrated in this section in many months and was being investigated this n1ora- ing.
 After robbing the station the two armed men ordered Garrison to get into their car and forced him to the floor in the rear following which he was taken to Woodbridge where he was robbed of $l2 which he was carrying with him at the time. He was then ordered at the point of Q gun to get out of the car and start running.
 Upon reaching safe distance, Garrison phoned state police bar. racks ct Beacon Falls and Trooper Thomas Layden made an extensive search of the area failing to find any clues which might lead to the identity of the holdup men.

NORMAN PARENT
 WILL BE TRIED
Released By Coroner John T. MOnzani; Held Under
 Bonds By Court

Released yesterday by Coroner John T. Monzani, Norman Parent, 22, of Bristol, confessed wielder of the gun which seriously wounded Edmund Diana, 10, of 30 Kenyon street, Dec. 27, found himself still in the midst of troubles today. In city court, Q continuance Of a week was given, at the request of police, on Q charge of assault with intent to murder. Judge John F. Mc0rath fixed bonds ct $6,000.
 Chief Inspector William P. Keegaa said this morning that 1t has not yet been decided how Parents case will be prosecuted. The state may press the assault with intent to murder charge, or change the charge to double count of assault and carrying concealed weapons. Parent can be returned to Cheshire Reformatory for violation of parole. Another possibility is the turning over the prisoner to Bristol police, who seek to prosecute him on 8 charge of breaking and entering.
 Parent was arrested in Bristol the 27th, after Diana had staggered into police headquarters with . bull. let just above his heart. Diana is still in serious condition at St. Mary's hospital but his name has been taken from the danger list, and he is given good chance to recover. In releasing Parent yester- day, Coroner Monzani also freed Ernest LaFontaine, 22. of 118 Mea- dow street, at whose home the shooting took place, and Albert Petit. 22, of Union street, both of whom had been held as material witnesses.
