Newton Should Be Proud Indeed
Very often when one boy from an At
lanta Boy Scout Troop makes Eagle grade,
they carry his picture in the Atlanta pa
per, so Newton County should be proud
indeed when ten boys at one time make
Eagle grade.
With ten such boys growing to’ méan
hood in our country, we will have plenty
of young men to look to for leadership.
Their example will be an inspiration to
many of their friends to put forth the
effort to become Eagles. It is no easy task
A Proposal Werthy Os Careful
Consideration
Citizens of two Newton County com
munities were discussing in private this
week a proposal of vital importance to
every man, woman, and child living with
in their bounds. It has been suggested that
the City of Covington and the City of Ox
ford unite their efforts towards building
a single community that would far exceed
anything that either alone could ever hope
for.
The proposal is still in a talking stage
and does not bear the sanction of any

THE COVINGTON NEWS
SUNDAY Sctibor
Background Scripture: Mat
“hew 20.
““>mory Selection: By grace
you have been saved through
faith; and this is not your own
doing, it is the gift of God.
Ephesians 2:8,
. Our lesson today deals with
‘the grace of Ged.
- The point of the lesson is that
‘the grace of God is alawys given,
‘not earned.
. The parable which we study
ltoday is a footnote, as it were,
on a declaration Jesus made con
cerning rewards. The parable is
‘meant to be a rebuke to Peter,
as were a number of our Lord’s
greatest utterances.
’ Last week we considered the
rich young ruler’s tragic rejection
of God’s grace. As the young man
ceparted, Peter, with pharisaical
pride and with his customary
boldness, said to Jesus, “Lo, we
‘have left all, and followed thee;
lwhat then shall we have?”
| Peter could thump his breast
‘on occasion and fell very proud
‘of himself. He meant his words to
‘point out the difference between
‘the rich young ruler and the
faithful Twelve.
To Peter’s query our Lord made
8 prompt, cheerful answer of
‘unmistakable clarity. You will
‘get your reward, Peter, he said
'with ,assurance. You and your
' companions will sit upon twelve
| thrones judging the twelve tribes
'of Israel, “And everyone that hath
'left houses, or brethren, or sisters,
cr father, or mother, or children,
cr lands, for my name’s sake,
shall receive a hundredfold, and
\chall inherit eternal life. But. . .’
| Our lesson really begins with
‘this word “But and ends with the
'l6th verse of the following chap
ter, which begins with the word
| “So.” Our Lord preached a little
sermon on this occasion and his
ltext was, “Many. shall be last
that are first; and first that are
'last.” The Lord’s sermon (or
;parablc) begins with the state
|ment: “For the kingdom of heaven
lis like . , .”
' Jesus never tried to define the
‘kingdom: he was content to
describe its many-sided aspects.
You have earned a reward,
Peter, was the meaning of our
Lord’s words, and a reward you
‘and your companions shall get.
|But, be careful about the con
'dition of your heart. With all
'your goodness, you are border
'ing on pride and complacency,
| which can be ruinous. “For the
kingdom o fheaven .. ” is quite
'different from that attitude of
'mind an dheart which prompted
'you to ask the question, “Lo, we
| have left all, and followed thee;
{what then shall we have?” Let
'me illustrate, continued our Lord,
i what the kingdom of heaven is
|like and how different it is from
| your complacency and self-pride.
| Then Jesus told the story of a
householder who went out into
the market place early in the
(morning “to hire laborers into
| his vineyard. And when he had.
!agreed with the laborers for a
'shilling a day, he sent them into
|his vineyard” These men had
| bargaining power. They knew it,
|and they took full advantage of
liti They knew the householder
lhad to have their service and they
{made him pay top price for it.
| He was willing to make an
|egreement, they were willing to
laccept it. The meaning of the
| parable turns upon this point. ]
| Before we proceed, let us,
observe first that the kingdom of
‘heaven is like a vineyard. There
are labors to be accomplished as
'well as privileges to be enjoyed.
{ln the second place, there are
'rewards to be obtained from
working in that vineyard, and
the Householder, who is God, is
willing to pay al lhis workers
!well. .
We are also going to see as
Iv'e proceed that there is a vast
\difference between the kingdom
|¢f heaven and the kingdom of
}earth.
| The householder went out again
|2t the third hour, “and saw others |
istanding in the market-place idle;
‘and to them he said, Go ye also,
/into the vineyard and whatsoever
]is right I will give you,” And at|
'the sixth and ninth hour he did
ih'kewise. Even at the eleventh!
‘hour he went out, and there were |
= few poor forgotten men stand- |
ing idle, and in the depth of their
dejection murmuring to them
selves and to the householder, |
“No man hath hired us.” |
Exploring this parable of the |
kingdom further, we see that the |
Householder seeks after men., We
do not find God; He finds us, “But[
God commendeth his own lovel
toward us, in that, while we were
vet sinners, Christ died for us”
(Rom. 5:8),
Men idle in the market place!
Sons and daughters of the Most
High God still outside the king
dom and serving no Master! And
the great Householder seeks after
them. No great cause has chal
lenged their powers. No helping
hand_has been held out by those
within the fellowship of Christ.
No cheerful word of invitation
has been given that they come
into the vineyard and share in
the joy of the workers.
Men idle in the market place
make a sad sight in days of econ
cmic depression. It is-a sadder
sight when men and women stand
idle outside the vineyard of
Christ.
God is calling you and me to
day. Think of the work to be
done in his vineyard! In every
city block, on every fair country
side, along the streets and lanes
of every village are as many ap
peals for heroic service as great
missionaries of the past have ever
confronted. There is a vineyard
of the Lord, and it is full of un
finished tasks. There is a good
Householder, and He is eager for
workers. You may have dallied
long, but the sun has not yet set.
If you can read these lines, the
day of grace has not yet ended
for you.
Comes at last the hour of
reckoning. The steward of the
householder calls the laborers and
pays them their hire, “begining
from the last unto the first.”
The last received a shilling, the
same amount the householder
had agreed to give the laborers
who bargained with him in the
market place at dawn. Then when
the bargainers came, they expect
ed, of course, that they would
receive more, “and they likewise
received every man a shilling.”
Then the fat was in the fire.
There was a mighty protest. This
treatment was unjust. ‘“These
last have spent but one hour,
and thou hast made them equal
unto us, who have borne the
burden of the day and the scorch
ing heat.”
Men in every generation have
had a sneaking sympathy for the
demcnds of the bargainers. Cer
tainl: it does not seem right to
give the same wage for one hour’s
work as for twelve hours’ work.
But from here on the whole point
of the narrative comes into sight,
and its spiritual implications un
fold before us in an inspiring
fashion.
Economicdlly the situation does
not appear sound. But the par
able is net a tract on economics.
It is the setting forth by an
authoritative Teacher of certain
great truths regarding the nature
of the kingdom of heaven,
There is a vast difference,
Jesus assures his hearers, betwe
en the kingdom of earth and the
kingdom of heaven; and your
pride and selfishness, Peter, are

We learn also in this portion of
the lesson that there is a day of
reckoning. How filled we should
be with a sense of its solemnity.
At last for every one of us the
{welfth hour will sound. The
cate of the vineyard will be clos

tasks in the vineyard. Then let
him who is still idle in the market
place go on in his idleness. He
who has served self and Satan,
let him continue to do so to the

This state of affairs is not only
