IN WAR BONDS
At least a partial solution of
the appalling shortage of tarm
labor confronting Georgia farm
ers has been found by the county
commissioners of Terrell county.
Working in cooperation with the
Dawson city council, the county
authorities ordered all able-bodi
ed “unemployed,” both white
and colored, to get to work on
the farm or the public roads.
Naturally they chose the farms.
FEDERAL TAX STAMP 3
Your second federal vehicle
tax stamp now is on sale at the

The new stamp is red with a

issued in January. Glue is on

be attached to the windshield

bile, On the reverse side arc
spacings where the motorists
must record the make, model,
motor number and state tag
number of his vehicle. Each
stamp also has a serial number.

gins July 1 and lasts for one
year. Stamps may be purcnaseu

THE TASK COMMITTED TO THE
DISCIPLES
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 28:16-20; Mark I
16:14-20; Luke 24:49-53.
GOLDEN TEXT—Go ye Into all the world,
and preach the gospel to every creature.— !
| Mark 16:15.
Witnesses of the resurrection — '
i that privilege of the disciples car- .
ried with it the responsibility of de- |
daring the good news of completed I
redemption to all the nations of the
earth. In doing so they were des
tined to meet opposition and unbe
lief, to feel weariness and to know
discouragement. So the Lord, be
fore leaving this world for His pres
ent ministry at the Father’s right
hand (Mark 16:19; Heb. 7:25), pre- I
pared them by giving them a divine
commission, which they accepted
and acted upon with the assurance
of His power and blessing. The les
son is summarized in the words,
“Go ye” (Matt. 28:19); “They went
forth” (Mark 16:20); "And He . . .
blessed them” (Luke 24:50).
I. “Go Ye” (Matt. 28:16-20).
God’s plans are never small plans.
World evangelization, nothing less,
was the goal He had in mind, and
to which Christ commissioned this
little group of humble folk who were
His disciples. It was not only ■
great commission, but a daring one.
Back of such marching orders
there must be authority and power
—and Christ had them (v. 18) —all
power and all authority. No need
to measure or compare, for His is
the ultimate and complete authority.
This is the One who said, “Come
unto me”; then, “Follow me, and
! I will make you fishers of men," and
s who now says, "Go.” If we heed
one command, should we not abso- 1
lulely obey the others?
The message is His message, the i
gospel (Mark 16:15). It is the only
message! The witnesses of Christ
are not called to educate and civilize [
the heathen without winning them to I
Christ. To do so is only to prepare ;
stronger and more skillful ene- j
mles of all that we count holy.
But a great program means noth- !
ing if it is not carried out; a great !
commission is only words unless it |
is accepted and obeyed. We read
: of the disciples that—
11. "They Went Forth” (Mark 16:
| 14-20).
The call and command are given
j in this passage. The power is made
clear and somewhat in detail, but
the significant thing is that they
actually went forth to preach.
The response of these early Chris- ;
tians was immediate and enthusi
astic. Would that such a spirit had
characterized the church through all
the generations since then, for if it
, had, the commission would long
since have been carried out. Dr. i
I R. A. Torrey has estimated that if
everyone in a church of 2,000 were
to win one soul a year, and each
I convert win one soul each year, the
world would be evangelized in less
■ than 35 years.
j But while on the whole the church
; has failed, there have been valiant
souls all down through its history
who have given themselves to the
| business of soul-winning. With them, I
as with these of the first century, ]
j the secret is ever "The Lord work
ing with them.” We read that as
He was leaving this earth and His j
disciples, He lifted up His hands—
111. "And He . . . Blessed Them”
(Luke 24:49-53).
God has always honored those who i
in faith have obeyed His command. |
The whole history of missionary en
deavor bears eloquent testimony to
that fact.
Sometimes we marvel at the suc
cess of a great movement, such as
j that founded by John Wesley. The
! answer is that God found a man, or
a little group of men or women, will
ing to take Him at His word and
step out in earnest purpose to obey I
Him. “For forty years John Wesley |
carried on his mission of canvass- |
i ing for Christ 'as a parliamentary |
candidate canvasses for votes in his
constituency in the strenuous three
weeks before an election’ ” (Ar- I
nold’s Commentary). Little wonder I
that with the blessing pf Christ upon j
his work brings joy to many even j
to this day.
Note that the disciples who had j
been made sad and despondent by |
their parting with Christ at Cal
vary now went away in joy. The
joy of the Lord is the strength of j
the Christian worker. It gives j
him abundant grace and power in |
the hour of need and makes him a i
| fruitful servant.
A Warm Soul
I saw once lying side by side in a
i great workshop, two heads made of
j metal. The one was perfect; all the
features of a noble, manly face came
out clear and distinct in their lines
of strength and beauty; in the other,
scarcely a single feature could be
j recognized; it was all marred and
; spoiled. "The metal had been let
i grow a little too cool, sir,” said the
man, who was showing it to me. I
could not help thinking how true that
was of many a form more precious
I than metal. Canon Teignmouth
