joys want to be shared . and SO the
greatest possible joy, that of be-
ing Transformed, calls for a rejoic-
II is fact that all people belong to
God by right. A sinner is one Of
Gods lost children.
". Z. II say unto you, that like
wise joy shall be in heaven over one
sinner that repenteth, more than
ninety and nine just persons, which
need no repentance" After all
heaven and earth are not so far
apart. 1t seems that the very angels
in heaven note the Fathers rejoic-
ing in the conversion of sinners that
seeing his joy, they join him in this,
the highest type of rejoicing. The
promise of religion therefore is the
promise of joy. 1t is at this point
where union of families that have
been broken are given the promise
of reunion.
V. 8. Either what woman hav-
ing ten pieces of silver, if she lose
one piece, doth not light a candle,
and sweep the house, and seek dill
gently till she find it?" We seem
to understand the value of anything
by the measure of money When we
ask the question, How much is It
worth? we expect the answer in
terms of money No one can mea-
sure the value Of soul. The fact
that God seeks to save every soul
proves the value of personality. Ev-
cry soul is worth saving. So val
liable is soul that Gods search is
not given up till the lost soul is saw
ed Note the rejoicing in this par
able as in the former one
v. 10. Even so, I say unto you,
there is joy in the presence Of the
angels of God over one sinner that
repenteth." Men go long way
and make great sacrifices for a lit
tie so-called joy in this life Saliva
tion is the greatest joy and it costs
man nothing, but it cost God the
death and suffering of his Son on
the cross that by his death all men
might be saved.

Christ's Concern for the Lost,
Luke 15:1-10, for Sunday, Jan. 26:
The atmosphere of criticism as
found in the last lesson still pre-
walls by the critics of Jesus. He
now proceeds to cut deeper into the
self-righteous, self-opinionated re-
ligious leaders thought and heart.
". 1. "Now all the publicans and
sinners were drawing near to him to
hear him. There was sense of
need on the part Of the sinners and
publicans SO that they naturally
drew near to Christ who found in
their need a welcome not extended
by his critics. The more we need
Christ the more surely is he near to
help us. The greatest help Jesus can
render is to reinstate lost sinner
in the family of God. This was Je-
sus' purpose on earth.
u. "And the Pharisees and
scribes murmured, saying, This man
receiveth sinners, and eateth with
them.' That Jesus should show a
preference to the despised class,
such people that the scribes and
Pharisees would have nothing to do
with, deepened the criticism of Je-
sus.
VS.. 8, 4. "And he spake this par
able unto them, saying, What man
OF you having hundred sheep, if
he lose one of them, doth not leave
the ninety and nine in the wilder
ness and go after that which is lost,
until he find it," The story method
OF teaching is more effective. Jesus
now told three stories, parallels, to
show Gods concern for the lost.
Jesus would have us know the value
of one soul. He will seek lost soul
continually and consistently till
found There is here also picture
of lost soul, one who almost un-
consciously has gradually gotten
away from God, just straying as a
sheep may do when fascinated by
green pastures. Beware of the
likable things which you enjoy so
much as to lose sight of God and
your loyalty to him.
VS.. "And when he hath found
it, he layeth it on his shoulders, re-
jOicing" Note there is not word OF
reprimand though it may be de-
served. He does not drive it back to
the flock but he carries it and cares
for it. So great is the change that
comes to the sinner when saved
that there is real cause for rejoic-
ing that is experienced both by the
one who is saved and by the very
Saviour himself.
". g. "And when he cometh
home, he calleth together his friends
and neighbors saying unto them,
Rejoice with me; for I have found
my sheep which was lost" Great

OUT AMONG THE BIC
THINGS

Travelling northward in Califor-
mia, one is impressed with the mag
nitude of the oil fields. At Hunt
ington and Long Beach, especially
at Signal Hill, there are black for
ests of derricks. North of this are
score of fields too numerous to
mention. They drill down 5000
feet for the liquid gold. The deep
est we'll on earth is at Bakersfield,
1880 feet. Derricks are seen far
out at sea at Ventura The federal
government and state own the
ocean shore. Considerable litigation
has ensued, where oil companies
have taken from Uncle Sam the
black gold. Horizontal drilling is
practiced to get oil from a distance.
David Kittleman gave up mining,
went east, brought back herds of
cattle, became cattle king and
died wealthy. Now the most pro-
ductive field lies on his estate, call
ed Kettleman's Hills, at the center
of California. We drove through 1t.
Of the countrys reserve supply of
oil, 4O%o is here. There is no coal
or hardwood for fuel in the state.
1t needs none, it being hot enough
without it. Eastern oil has a base
of paraffin, and western Of asphalt,
and no one knows why.
At Tulare we encountered Tagus
Ranch, 1000 acres of nectarines,
peaches and apricots. Immense
ranches give the small farmer little
chance for competition. Fresno,
center of grape products, is the
worlds biggest area for raisins.
They market 375, 100000 pounds a
year. From Fresno we drove to
Mariposa Grove of Big Trees, rise
of 5000 feet. The sequoia gigantea
grows only at this height.
The sequoia semper-viren grows
along the coast. Both need abun-
dant moisture. The tall trees con-
dense the moisture, producing a
fog in the morning, but it lifts
about ten o'clock. Often it produces
a shower of rain, then disappears.
First sight of these majestic
monarchs is never forgotten. You
feel insignificant, and unimportant.
'These trees belong to the silences,
and the milleniums. Many have
seen a hundred of our generations
arise" wrote Edwin Markham.
Some are 4,000 years old, and 80
feet thick. Founders Tree" is 364
feet high. "Old Grizzly" is $500
year old, contains 363,6O0 feet of
lumber, and is "a feet wide.
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1941-01-23

At one place T counted seven fai-
len monarchs. Decay Is slow. They
may have fallen hundreds of years
ago. The boles, red and smooth,
have no limbs for 200 feet. The
outer dead bark is one to two feet
thick, and when cut is smooth as
velvet. Inside is cambium, the lie
of the tree. AS long as there IS
cambium, the tree lives. Many trees
burnt out and hollow are still green
and 1ourishing, because the cam
blum is left. Telescope Tree Is
like vast chimney, as you look up
through the hollow core to the stars
I thought of the last words of our
human sequoia, Daniel Webster. Il
still live The Wawona Tree will
be remembered, if you drive through
it, then get out and survey its di-
mensions There are said to be
over a million sequoias in Sequoia
Park.

was given to the government by
Senator and Mrs VIM. Kent. 1t Is
a notable stand of the other sequoia.
semper-virens. 1t is more vital
than the gigantea, for this never
dying redwood sends up sprouts
from the stump. They become large
trees. where the old parent tree
died, arranging themselves IN
clumps. A fallen tree sent up IA
scions vertically from the PROSTATE
bole, suggesting a gigantic green
comb.
One tree here is white not green!
oh q L.
bino, an unusual thing in the tree
world Everything grows big
here said the guide and we found
this true of all flowers, ferns,
shrubs and trees. Ferns have fronds
four or five feet long. The white
azalea becomes a tree as fragrant
as our honeysuckle. The leaf OF
the semper-virens is fiat like hem
lock or balsam. The leaf OF the
gigantea is featherly like the cedar
They have no tap root.
The sequoias, 50,000,000 years
ago spread over the northern part
of Europe as we'll as America. Fos-
sill remains show this. AT Floris-
SAINT, Colorado, We saw hundreds OF
sequoia stumps fossilized, but where
the boles are no one knows. They
seem to have grown up long ago in
disintegrated lava, and maybe
hot flood of lava came later, and
only the stumps escaped total de-
struction from fire.
1t is thought the glacial age
brought reign of the big trees to an
end over vast areas. California is
an exception. Here the cones were
carried ahead Of the glaciers, from
the arctic regions, by the slow
march Of illeniums.-Howard HI.

NEW ERA CLUB

The home of Mrs. Fannie A. Rich
ardson of Malta was the scene of
the New Era club meeting Monday
evening. Twenty-four members
and guests were present. On mo-
tion, resolution prepared by a
citizens finance committee was ap-
proved as presented.
Mrs. McKeown and Mrs. Richard
son were the program sponsors. In
the absence of the former, Mrs.
Richardson gave comparison of
the home Of today and yesterday.
The Richardson home is replete with
interesting settings, ranging from
Currier and Ives prints, tin types
of ancestors, daguerreotypes, clocks,
glass and china. The art of the
loom shown by the Paisley shawl
and the wool coverlid, the latter
was the unusual accomplishment of
former days, with the wool from
the farmers flock prepared and WOW
en- into "a thing of beauty"
The handiwork of another day
showed the clever work of the
needles and thimble in an elaborate
collection of quilts when industry
was not on the Wane. The OBJECT or
collections may be only sincerity, or
it may be interest in a special line
of pursuit. An assembling of 500
elephants, 200 pitchers or 500 cook
books may reflect bits of history
valuable to research work.
The large home of the past was
tyrant in collections-now replac-
ed by the tiny structure. The old
age taught thrift by saving, and
sentiment by keeping With it all
we turn to admire and to profit by
these legacies of useful accomplish
ments-that their endurance may
be a beacon of light to us and to
those who come after us.

session, Mrs. Anna Cowan, chairman
Of conservation, read a paper on
conservation and made motion
that our chapter purchase an acre
of Penny Pines in the Gore reserva-
tion program. The motion unani-
mously carried so we feel our chap
ter is now a part of the conserva-
ton program. Miss Blanche Dan
ford, librarian, read a letter from
state chairman Mrs. James Patton,
stating that the Souvenir Herald
booklet published in 1909, and sent
to the National ID. A. r. library at
Washington had been accepted
making our chapter 100% in library
work. Mrs. Coulson generously re-
quested each member to bring 4
guest, that our friends might enjoy
the display of her fine collection of
antiques and early American glass.
She read an interesting paper giving
the history of the manufacture of
history of the manufacture, the type
and pattern of glass, she could show
us the finished products from her
collection. She especially stressed
Speigel and Sandwich glass, also
many of the commemorative pieces.
AT the close of her paper, the 10
members and Il guests spent a
profitable hour admiring and dis
cussing the various pieces. One of
the unusual points we found each
piece is perfect. Mrs. Coulson never
buys an imperfect piece.
The hostess, assisted by her
daughter, Mrs. Ralph Dye, and
aughterin-law, Mrs. A. A. Coulson,
served delicious refreshments.-XX

OHIO MARKSMEN FIRST

Ohio has taken it's place as the
best rife-shooting state in the
United States. The 1910 national
rankings of the National Rife Asso-

ond place with IS in the select list.
The third place and leading in
Ohio was Merel Israelson of Akron.
In 44th place, but standing out as
the top-ranking, feminine shooter
in the country, was Dorothea Kelly,
also of Akron, who holds the Ohio
