Lesson e 49, &c =.

The Parallels by the Sea. Mark
4:26-32; Matthew 13:44-50. for
Sunday, March l.
So important and SO comprehen-
sive is the kingdom of God that Je-
sus resorted to the use Of parallels,
five of which are presented in this
lesson. The subjects of these par
ables are: The Kingdom in Germ,
]. The Kingdom of Growth. The King
dom of Privilege, the Kingdom in
Possession and the Kingdom in con
summation.
V. 26-29. "And he said. So is the
Kingdom of God. as if man
should cast seed into the ground;
and should sleep. and rise night
and day, and the seed should spring
and grow up, he knoweth not how.
For the earth bringeth fruit Of her
self; first the blade, then the ear,
after that the full corn in the ear.
But when the fruit is brought
forth. Immediately he putteth in
the sickle. because the harvest is
come" In this parable we are
taught "a how much depends up
on God and how little upon man, so
that we should trust the goodness
of God more and our own efforts
less: (2) there are spiritual laws
just as there are physical laws and
each mans soul grows in accord
ance with those spiritual laws: CD
there are immeasurable powers of
growth in the kingdom SO that one
cannot judge the outcome of a
small or apparently insignificant
beginning; (4) there is an orderly
growth in the kingdom-a growth
that is natural and simple when
God has a chance in that soul.
". 1892. "And he said, Where
unto shall we liken the kingdom of
God? or with what comparison
shall we compare it? 1t is like
grain of mustard seed. which, when
it Is sown on the earth, is less than
all the seeds that be in the earth;
but when it is sown it growth up.
and becometh greater than all the
herbs, and shooteth out great
branches; so that the fowls of the
air may lodge under the shadow of
it, Jesus taught the gloomy dis
ciples that the outcome of what
seemed insignificant was mighty in
importance Sow kingdom seed in
fertile soil and let favorable cond1-
tions prevail and it will germinate
and begin its glorious work In the
human heart and life.

NEW ARMY PHYSICAL
STANDARDS

New army physical standards
which materially reduce dental and
eye requirements for Selective Ser
vice inductees have been ANNOUNCE
ed by National Headquarters, Selec-
tive Service System.
More than 20 percent of the men
rejected for physical disability un-
der the old army standards were
turned down because of defective
teeth. The new ruling, therefore,
is expected to permit reclassifica-
tion as Class IA, or available for
full military service, of many men
now deferred as well as to permit
induction of thousands of regis
trants who, heretofore, would have
failed to qualify for such classifica-
ton.
Formerly, the army required that
an inductee have minimum Of six
masticating and six incisor teeth.
all If which were opposed. The
new requirement is merely that he
be able to eat and digest army
Chow
Eye requirements now read:
For general military service in
all noncombatant branches: Reg
istrants whose visual acuity is be-
low 20-100 but not below 10000
in each eye without glasses if cor
rectible to 20-40 in each eye. (The
actual possession of suitable glass
es by an individual is not required
for his acceptance under these
standards.)'
In his memorandum to local
boards, announcing these new army
standards, National Headquarters
stated:
1T is, therefore, directed that all
local boards reopen and consider
anew the classification of all reg
istrants heretofore classified in
Glass I-B or Glass IV-F by reason
of defencies in teeth or eyesight."
March IT, st. Patrick's day, is
the date set for the new draft lot
terry, which will follow in general
the procedure of the two previous
drawings, under the Selective Ser
vice law

". A. again the kingdom 4

". a. again the kingdom of
heaven is like unto treasure hid
in the field; the which when man
hath found, he hideth and for the
joy thereof goeth and seLleth all
that he hath and buyeth the field"
Here is taught the supreme value of
spiritual things; sometimes men
come into possession Of the king
dom of God as is the case of child
that is properly trained and cannot
point to a special time of CONVEX
sion. Note that the kingdom of
God is Of such value that it costs
something, not necessarily money,
but also all of ones talents, time
and prayer. One may be going
about at his regular work, open
minded and loyal to revealed truth
and unconscious1y come into pos
session of spiritual things.
V. 45, 4e. Again, the kingdom
Of heaven is like unto a merchant
man seeking goodly pearls; who
when he had found one pearl of
great price went and sold all that
he had, and bought it," The teach
ing here is much the same that is
in the preceding parable of the les
son, with greater emphasis on the
consciousness of the object sought
as in this case, the finder sought
spiritual things; most people fail
to receive the spiritual things of
God very fully as children and
wander away from God, necessitat-
ing a conscious experience of con-
version.
V. 47-50. Again, the kingdom
of heaven is like unto net that
was cast into the sea, and gathered
Of every kind; which, when it was
full they drew to the shore, and sat
down and gathered the good into
vessels, but cast the bad away. So
shall it be at the end of the world;
the angels shall come forth, and
sever the wicked from the just, and
shall cast them into the furnace Of
fire; there shall be wailing and
gnashing of teeth Note how i'm
portant it is to make first things
first, that is, we are to make spir-
itual things our first consideration.
for there is a day coming when
grace will end and Gods judgment
will begin. To trifie, to treat light
ly anything connected with the
kingdom Of God is a deadly peril.
We dare not abuse Gods patience
which we take too much for grant
ed when we do just as we please.

WARNS AGAINST ILLEGAL
USE OF FARM LICENSES

Truck owners are warned by
the Bureau of Motor Vehicles
against the use of farm licenses on
vehicles which are not used ex
clusively in the operation of a
farm.
Love Henery, jr.. inspector foI
the State Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
has investigated several cases re.
Gently in Athens, Morgan and
Washington counties, one Of which
was a mail carrier who was using a
truck which carried farm licenses,
the others were owners using their
farm licenses to transport them
selves and others to some kind OF
work, or employment.
Farm truck licenses cost approx.
mately 40 percent less than those
for commercial trucks and many
persons Henery says, have been
using the farm plates on vehicles
used for other purposes, in viola
ton of the law. The penalty for
conviction of the violation may be
. fine up to 5000.
The law states that, ''For the
purpose of this act, use of farm
truck is defined as one used in the
transportation from the farm OF
products of the farm, including
livestock and it's products, poultry
and it's products, Horticulture and
horticulture products, and in the
transportation to the farm of sup
plies for the farm including tile.
fence, and every other thing or
commodity used in agricultural.
horticultural, horticultural, live.
stock and poultry production, and
livestock, poultry and other animals
and things used for breeding, feed.
Ing, or other purposes connected
with the operation of the farm or
farms" Every application for
farm truck license contains an affi-
davit that the applicant must sign
which certifies that the truck or
trucks licensed by him are to be so
Used as to meet the requirements
necessary for the farm truck classi-
fcation.
The new 1912 passenger car,
commercial car, trailer and farm
truck licenses go on sale March 1st,
vehicles at that time. In Morgan
county, 1912 licenses may be OBJ.

TWO MORE FIRST AID CLASSES

Much interest was manifested in
the Red Cross organization meeting
held at the high school Thursday
evening. About so women were in
attendance and two classes were
formed for first aid instruction
The first met Wednesday after
noon, Feb. Is at 2 O'Clock, at the
lied Cross rooms and the second
will meet at 1880 p. m, Thursday
(tonight) at the same place.
Mrs. Thelma Fox, r. NJ, and
Mrs. Austin A. Coulson, f.. NJ, in
structors, assisted by other local
registered and graduate nurses.
There are 16 or more nurses avail
able in the county. Other classes
may be formed later in first aid
and home nursing. Mrs. Hammond,
who presided, made it clear that
this is a countrywide organization
and as soon as there are instructors
available, classes may be formed in
other communities if the people
find it more convenient to meet
nearer home on account Of driving,
tire shortage, etc.
A class meeting on Monday night
at the fire house is taught by Will
ford Scott, who hopes to organize
a class soon in the advanced course.
Women are welcome to join either
the daytime or evening groups at
the Red Cross room. There are a
few manuals yet for sale.
Let us be prepared. There is no
assurance that Morgan county is a
charmed area or that we may not
gain first hand knowledge of
what follows an enemy air raid. 1t
can happen here. Morgan county
had received special recognition
from National headquarters as one
of the uppermost counties in first
aid classes, prior to the increased
interest since the declaration of
war.
The War Fund Campaign had
reached $2,O41.96 with Feb. goth
remittance to national headquar-
ters. OF the counties quota of S.
600, IS percent goes to national,
the remaining Is percent is retain
ed here and used to buy more ma
terial to make up into garments.
The county's share of the men,
bership roll call is kept for the
chapters local expenses. This has
been confusing to lot of our peo-
pie.
Recent shipments have been
made and completed articles still
being returned to the office. More
materials have been shipped, but
due to the congestion at warehouses
there has been quite delay in re-
ceipt of same.
From the $1,3OO,oOO appropriat-
ed by the government for yarn,
each chapter will receive 10 per
100 population, making little
over 14O for Morgan county
Our county's quota of $1,000 is
only half in so far, only three
townships reporting in full. Who
will be next? Let's try to get our
solicitations in as soon as possible.
let's try to reach our goal and say
once more old Morgan county can
''do it again.

OHIO POWER co. EMPLOYEES
In U. S. DEFENSE PROGRAM

Announcement was made today
that the employees of the Ohio
Power company have voluntarily
agreed to participate in the United
State Treasury's Defense Savings
Program. Mr.. T. E. With, District
Superintendent, stated that over
5000 employees of the company
have pledged themselves to make
semi-monthly purchases of Defense
Savings Stamps and Bonds in re-
sponse to the governments plea to
provide funds for war needs.
THE plan,'' said Mr.. With, Gains
at continuous investment not linn
tied in time to accomplish the fol-
lowing objectives:'
Il. So that every individual
will have the opportunity to supply
funds to meet a national emergency
unexampled in the history of the
country
%. Each employee will have
available ready means of syste-
matte savings to meet future
needs'
In addition to this patriotic pro-
gram of Defense Savings Subscrip-
ton, every man and woman in the
Ohio Power company is working en-
Enthusiastically, many of them night
and day, to organize the company
for maximum wartime production.
Fortunately, before war was de-
clared, the Ohio Power company
had inaugurated planned program
to augment it's facilities. Extraor-
dinary demands have been made on
these facilities by defense indus
tries. To meet these demands, as
we'll as to supply regular service to
non-defense industries and to our
commercial and residential custo-
mers is a task which is being met
with wholehearted cooperation by
all employees.
Mr.. With said that in addition to
employee subscription to defense
securities, the company has arrang-
ed for the sale of Defense Stamps
at all cashiers windows in company
offices. Customers of the company
will find this convenient means
of purchasing Defense Savings
Stamps.
