WORKING IN CHRIST’S WAY
(Continued from page 2.)
on that method, what do you think of
us?
The day has come when the church
that sits down and waits for people
to come to its services, is the church
that is doomed.
Then following this, he gives in
structions about their conduct. In the
first place, he impressed them concern
inc 1 the character of the people that
they are to work amongst. They are
nor to engage in any outside calling
for their support, “for the laborer is
worthy of his hire.” Then he instructs
them concerning the way and manner
in which they are to work. First,
they are to heal the sick. Second,
they are not to use any force, they
are to go into a city and give their
message, and leave it with the people
for their acceptance or rejection. They
are merely to give their testimony and
heal their sick, and in other ways rep
resent him. If the people reject, they
are simply to go out and leave them.
In the event of their rejection, they
are to give them the warning of God,
saying: “It shall be more tolerable for
Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than
for vou.”
These words were spoken by Jesus
to the seventy. It was to assure them
not to frighten the people. He was
too wise and tactful to go into this
heathen country and say, “If you do
not receive me, I will do this or that
to you.”
Finally he winds up with the words
“He that heareth you heareth me; and
be that despiseth you despieth me;
and he that despiseth me despiseth him
that sent me.” He is submitting a
most needed teaching to these seventy
and through them to us. It is a les
son concerning his one-ness and his
workers. They are not disciples, they
are certain appointed ones; men whose
names are not even mentioned; men
just gathered up from the ordinary
walks of life. And Jesus is identify
ing himself in as close and intimate
relation with them as it is possible
for him to do.
He is placing himself in their
GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She made up a mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur to bring back color,
gloss, thickness.
Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxu
riant, remove every bit of dandruff,
stop scalp itching and falling hair.
Just a few applications will prove a
revelation if your hair is fading, gray
or dry, scruggly and thin. Mixing the
Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,
though, lis troublesome. An easier
way is to get the ready-to-use tonic,
costing about 50 cents a large bottle
at drug stores, known as “Wyeth’s
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," thus
avoiding a lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain oui
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it does it so naturally,
so evenly. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared, and, after an
other application or two your hair be
comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant.

places and putting them in his plase,
and not only that, but putting them
in the place of his Father. I cannot
conceive of a thing that could have
encouraged the seventy more than
that! It would not be hard for us
to imagine how Jesus could identify
himself with his disciples, because he
had called them to leave their busi
ness and homes, and come and join
their interests with his, and they had
accepted his call. We can understand
how Jesus could do it with ministers
or evangelists—men who preach the
gospel of Christ. But it is hard for
us tc understand (unless we go into
the teaching) how our Lord identities
himself with the humble worker, the
man who sweeps the street in front
< T the church; the man who keeps the
pews clean, and the church lighted,
and warmed. It is hard to fancy Jesus
"itifying himself with the house to
house visitor, handing a card of invita
tion to the church service.
But, my brethren, there is no dis
tinction in the ranks of Christ’s ser
vants, when it comes to the identifi
lion of Christ with them. The one
talent man has just as much right to
expect the identification of Jesus with
him as the ten-talent man. What a
great encouragement this is! But it
is also a great responsibility. When
Jesus said to these disciples, “He that
heareth you, heareth me,” he was roll
ing upon them one of the mightiest
responsibilities that they ever had put
upon them. They were made repre
sentatives of God. And that is the
greatest responsibility any mortal man
could have put upon him.
The same is true of us today. If
we are Christ’s, he is ours, and what
ever we do in, the world we do as his.
And the world is judging him by the
wav we love and serve him.
WHAT IS SOCIAL SERVICE?
(Continued from page 5.)
the sacredness and spirituality of ser
vice in and for the family and the
state, no less than service in and for
the church. It asks men to use their
talents to serve in the place in which
they find themselves. It is essential
that man honor the church and work
in it and through it as prophets and
evangelists, pastors, and teachers, lay
men and leaders. It is equally essen
tial that men honor the family and
work in it and through it as parents
and children brothers and sisters,
home makers and house builders. And
it is essential no less than men honor
the state, and work in it and through
it ns citizens and as voters, statesmen
and officials, tax-payers and civic lead
ers. Social service cause us to recog
nize the divine meaning and redemp
tive mission of all these institutions
of man’s life; and then to use them
all in a conscious and collective way
in behalf of the redemption of society
and the making of the kingdom.
VI. The Church’s Part.
Every church should have a con
structive program for serving the so
cial needs of its community, either in
dividually or through the largest pos
sible co-operation with other agencies
of social uplift. To this end every
church should have a social service
committee that shall have general di-
rection of social work. This commit
tee should see that some social stud
ies are introduced in the church. It
should form a link between the church
and the various charitable and social
agencies in the community, and should
enlist the people in definite and di
rect forms of service. It should study
community conditons and needs and
direct the efforts of Christian people
in meeting those needs.
For further information and liter
ature bearing upon the organization
of the church for social work, on les
sons for social study classes, on form
and method of community study, com
municate with the secretary of the de
partment, Samuel Z. Batten.

Paint Lick, Ky.—Mrs. Mary Free
man, of this place, says: “Before I
commenced totake Cardui, I suffered so
much from womanly trouble! I was

me more good than any medicine I ever
took in my life. I can’t possibly praise
it too highly.” You need not be afraid
to take Cardui. It is no new experi
