Sunday School Lesson
(By Rev. Charles E. Dunn)
Parable of the Kingdom.
Lesson for March 11th. Matthew,
chap. 13.
Golden text: Isaiah 9:7.
The characteristic method of Jesus
was to herald His message in the
form of vivid pictures, or parables.
In this way He guaranteed that the
gospel would be surely remembered,
for pictures always remain in the
mind more easily than argument, or
exposition devoid of imagery. “Truth
embodied in a tale’ is a very effec
tive form of instruction.
In the beautiful chapter chosen
for our lesson there are eight strik
ing parables. An entire period could
be devoted to each of these appeal
ing stories. Two of them, the para
ble of the sower, and the para'ble of
the tares, are full length sketches.
The others are signettes merely.
Suppose we look at four of these
miniatures.
Consider the parable of the mus
tard seed. Here we have a prophecy
of the expansion of the divine King
dom. The mustard seed, proverbial
ly the tiniest of all grains, becomes,
at last, a mighty , tree, its splendid
blanches lifted heavenward for the
refuge of birds and the comfort of
man. So is it with the commonwealth
of God. The life of Jesus was ob
scure. Few heard His gracious but
urgent gospel. At the time of His
cruel death His movement was a
mere speck upon the horizon of
men’s interests. But look at it now!
Through the long centuries it has
gathered to itself many riches and
peoples until it stands before us to
day, a great treasury of thought and
life.
The para'ble of the leaven illus
trates the permeating quality of
God’s Realm. Note that leaven is
inward, unseen, and silent. So the
divine kingdom advances in the in
ner hearts of men, as an invisible,
quiet force. Shunning notoriety,

Half Billion Loans
To Farmers U. S.
Since May, 1933
Washington.—The farm credit ad
ministration, President Roosevelt’s
organization for co-ordinating all
government lending to farmers, an
nounced Saturday that it had loaned
$500,000,000 since last May through
Federal Land Banks.
Governor William I. Meyers said
this sum had been distributed at low
rates of interest to 200,000 farmers
in part of the country.
About $140,000,000 was loaned
during February, an increase of 11
per cent over January, establishing
anew peak month for the adminis
tration’s activities. During the week
ending February 28, loans closed to
taled 15,200 and new applications to
taled 11,420.
Myers said production credit as
sociations, recently formed in many
parts of the country, had received
27,000 applications for about $21,-
000,000 in loans up to February 24.
Up to that date, 12,500 applica
tions had been inspected for securi
ty, 6,736 had been submitted to the
Federal Intermediate Credit Bank
for discount, and 1,839 totaling
about $2,000,000 had been approved
and paid.
statistics, and trade returns, it
makes its presence felt unobtrusive
ly, calmly, without the blare of
trumpets. But its influence is none
the less effective!
The parables of the hidden treas
ure and the pearl of great price il
lustrate the surpassing worth of the
heavenly commonwealth. In both
cases there is exultant joy over the
posession of wealth of supreme
value.

LETTERS FROM THE
PEOPLE
What Do the People of Butt* County
Want?
Do we want a business administra
tion or do we want to satisfy some
selfish political greed? With all due
respect to our past administrations,
we have the best that Butts county
has had in a long time. Our taxes
have been reduced every year since
the preent administration has been
in office. We have had more good
road work done in the same length
of time in the history of Butts
county.
Let’s lay down all selfishness and
petty politics and all pull together
one time in Butts county and see
where we can get. I know, on top.
When you are getting your taxes re
duced every year under your pres
ent system why do you want to make
any changes? The only reason would
be for selfish gain and not for the
benefit of the taxpayers. Let’s ev
erybody pull together and do not
encourage anyone to run for county
commissioners at this coming pri
mary.
We have a business administration
and it looks to me like it would be
the wrong time to make any changes.
It looks like the whole U. S. is get
ting together better than they have
in my days. What could a man say,
if there should’ be such one, as to
why he wanted to be county commis
sioner? He sure could not say he
could give us any better administra
tion than we have. He could only
say he wanted it for what he could
get out of it for himself or to carry
some selfish motive of some kind.
I do not know of a man in the
county that would have nerve enough
to ask the people to make any
changes in the commissioners at this
time. You all know we have had
our taxes reduced for three years,
and will be reduced this year. So
there is no place for any candidate
to promise anything better than we
have. :
Let’s get out from under the bush
el and set our light upon the hill and
forget our past grudges, greeds and
political fumes. We all know how
some of our past politics have been,
was to put the other fellow opt,
right or wrong, and that left a more
or less bad feeling among our peo
ple. Let’s go on record as being the
first and only county in the state of
Georgia to have a primary for coun
ty commissioners without opposition.
If revenge is sweet to you, you have
poor taste. United we stand, divid
ed we fall. Let’s all cultivate more
confidence in our fellow man and I
believe we will feel better.
Yours for a United Butts County.

Blasting at the Rock of Ages
Editor of the Progress-Argus.
Dear Mr. Editor: This is not a
protest so much to the domination
of our State University system by
the Jews and Catholics of this State,
who have not as yet seen fit to or
ganize a school of college grade for
their particular religious beliefs, as
it is to call attention to the danger
which is imminent, because of our
lack of interest in the Christian 'Col
leges of this State. If the Christian
Colleges are to go the way of the
denominational prep seh’ools in Geor
gia, we well might enquire what the
effect will be upon Evangelical
Christianity in the future.
It seems to me that the time has
arrived for Protestants and Cove-

with a tax supported University and
its branches. This would be all right
if education and culture was deriv

text books taught in the schools and
colleges, but the text books teach
only a small part of the education
which a boy or girl should possess.
Now is the time for the great
leaders in the Christian Colleges to
begin to let their influences be felt
mightily throughout the land 1 in sup
