One Man Looks
At God
by Charles w. Carlson, Pastor,
st. Marks Evangelical Lutheran
Church, Oakland Maryland0

In the thirteenth chapter Of the
Gospel Of Matthew, Christ sums
up many characteristics Of the
Kingdom Of heaven in a series of
short parallels. One Of these will
be our subject this week. He says:
The kingdom of heaven is like
leaven which a woman took and
hid in three measures Of meal I'M
til all was leavened."
The obvious reference here is to
the amazing force of Yeast, which
in a marvellous way finds its way
into a large amount Of dough. Per-
haps many OF YOU ave not watched
bread rise in your mothers kitch-
en-. l have not seen it either in
recent years, but | do recall seeing
in my childhood small lump Of
dough turn into a lump many times
the original size, as it set on top
of the warming closet" in the top
of our old stove. The stove has
long since departed, as has the
habit Of making bread at home, but
the principle still remains.
One Of the greatest indications
Of the truth Of Chrjsts message to
men is in the way it has indeed
leavened one third Of the worlds
civilization. The message was pro-
claimed by a relative unknown, in
comparison to the other more in-
portant men OF his day. 1t was
proclaimed to just / few who took
up the message, but ont Of this
small beginning comes move
ment that numbers nearly a billion
of the two and one-haf billion in
habitants Of the world. And Christi
anity is still growing! In the past
fifty years, church Mem ership has
risen from about forty percent Of
the population to nearly So per
cent Of the population. And it will
continue to grow. The thing that
never GGdStS W elIllclEc 'GIllo " iCSl
is the fact that it continues to
grow in spite Of the obvious sins
of the people in the churches. None
Of us can make any real claim to
absolute perfection, and yet our
efforts are made full with the
help and assistance of the Holy
Spirit.
This is the hope with which we
can change the ways of the world.
If each one of us would in our life
time lead just two or three outside
OUT own family circle into the life
of the Kingdom, the effects would
be amazing. In another statement,
Christ says that the harvest is
plentiful but the laboreis are few.

Bile exception. The yeast grows Of

lpany less concerned for the letter

The play, Chekov's most popu-
lar. is a work Of wisdom and
surprising tenderness.
For those whose memories are
hazy. he tells here the haunting
story of the Prozoroffs, three
sisters and a brother. The, Pro-
zoroffs are keen-minded, SEN
sitive, attractive and young.
They are unhappy to find them
selves living in a provincial
town. their wretchedness allevi-
ated only by their dream Of re-
turning to the Moscow of their
childhood.
It is their blight, however, that
the three sisters are too intelli-
gent to believe in dreams. They
see themselves as wan specimens
of q political system that is
rotting away. They seek never
theless to hold doom at arms
length. Olga the elder by going
to work as a school-teacher,
tender and lovely Trina with her
job in the telegraph Office, and
Masha through a compromise

Chekov, as always, is patiently
searching in his study of the
Prozoroffs. He Is concerned to
show every detail of the slow
ebb or hope in the household.
He examines. among many of
these. the brothers marriage
which brings a shrewish, taste
less girl into the home which
she instantly proceeds to tyran-
