SAFETY SLOGANS
Do not pick up an injured per

his injuries. It is easy to t »«•
the flesh with a broken bone and

It is smart to be careful and
foolish to be careless.
If you have a cuia don't cough

to subject others to the result

JESUS AND THE TWELVE
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 10:1. 5-8; 11:1.
| 25-30.
OOLDEN TEXT—Ye are my friends, If
yp do whatsoever I command you.—John
j 15:14.
i I Service for Christ has not always
! heen as impressive and effective as
it should be because it has lacked
, conviction and spiritual power. God
• | did not intend it to be thf- weak and
| faltering thing that it often is, be-
I cause of our failure to go God’s way.
The sending out of the twelve had
| special significance, and yet it
brings forth principles which have
, a bearing on the service of every
believer in Christ.
1 The Servants of Christ—
> 1. Have a Divine Commission (10:
1, 5-8).
■ The twelve disciples had already
I been called into the Lord’s service.
Now they were to be prepared for
the service which was ahead. It
was a time of commissioning and
empowerment for service.
God calls men today to serve Him.
In fact, there is a very real sense
in which every Christian is called to
• serve. Let no one try to excuse him
self from that responsibility and
. privilege.
, To some comes a special call to
leave their accustomed daily work
and launch out into a broader serv
-1 ice for Christ. When that time
1 comes, we may go forth with the
■ assurance thdt the power of a divine
. Saviour goes with us. The twelve
disciples had some special powers
which we do not have and do not
need. God suits the power to the
need, and that means that io every
circumstance we may look to Him
with assurance, and go on.
One of our difficulties in dealing
with such matters as spiritual power
is that wc interpret the things of the
realm of the spirit hy physical stand
ards and measurements. We are so
quick to say “I cannot" on the basis
! of our logical human reasoning,
when an appreciation of the power
' of God which is operative on our
behalf would make us say with con
fidence, "I can." But, sadly enough,
having left God out of our reckon-
I ing, wo find that it is indeed true
) that wo cannot.
Serving Christ means doing so in
His power, and with His grace upon
us. Nothing less will do! Nothing
more is needed!
H. Declare a Divine Revelation
; (11:1, 25-27).
The messenger’s responsibility
and importance are largely deter
mined by the nature of the mes
sage he has to convey. Particularly
i is that true where the message must
■ pass through his personality and thus
. be proclaimed. The nations of the
earth choose their most able men
to be their ambassadors and grant
them full power.
The glorious thing about being a
messenger for God is that we carry
■ no ordinary communication. W’hat
i wc have to present is far above the
most important message any earth
ly ambassador could possibly have
to carry.
We, the children and servants of
God through Jesus Christ, have
something direct from the throne of
God. He has revealed it (v. 25),
and it seemed good in His sight to
give it to those who had the childlike
faith to believe Him.
God’s revelation is hidden from
those who are wise in their own con
ceits, who are too proud to come by
way of humility and faith. Thank
God, some of the wise and mighty
of this world have been willing to
become as little children and learn
at the feet of Jesus.
) The encouraging thing about It is
; that the door is open to the sim
, plest believer to trust God, to take
the revelation of God’s truth in His
word, and give it out with grace and
power.
111. Extend a Divine Invitation
I (11:23-30).
“Come”—what a blessed word for
1 the needy and sinful! They are not
. to be shut out by their sin, nor to be
hindered by their weakness. The
door is open, and the invitation is
to come. Why not respond?
To whom are they to come? To
Jesus. There are times when men
■ can help us, when friends or church
officers or the pastor can give us an
j uplifting word of counsel and en- i
■ i couragement. But for salvation, for
J 1 a real lifting of the burden from the
shoulders of those "that labor and
are heavy laden," there is no one
like Jesus.
We are privileged to invite people
to Jesus, knowing that if they
"learn” of Him (v. 29), they will
not only have their loads lifted and
find rest, but will enter into a bless
ed yoke, fellowship with Him in life
and service.
1 His is a wholesome or a kindly
“ yoke. That is the meaning of
"easy” in verse 30. It is not always
| easy to serve Christ, but being yoked
with Him in a kindly fellowship
of service makes the burden light.
1 The world is full of tired and dis
couraged people. We who know
Christ have the adequate answer to
their need. Shall we not go in His
name to present the truth to them
i and invite them to come to Christ?

It is the extra yield and quality that count
when you add up the income from your
farm at the end of the year. In many cases,
a small investment for an additional appli
cation of potash makes that extra yield
and quality. Increased supplies of potash
now make possible the use of phosphate
potash mixtures for top-dressing legumes
and pastures and nitrogen-potash mixtures
for side-dressing cotton, corn, and other
crops. Consult your official agricultural
advisees on what mixtures to apply to
crops on your particular soils. Apply these
plant foods in the amounts recommended,
