The report comes from the
War Food Administration that
meat of all kinds will all but dis
appear from the civilian menus
during the coming summer and
fall. The lowered production
and the increased demands by
the army is given as the reason
for the reduced civilian supply.
In order to secure the full quota
required by the army, buyers for
the army expect to have to ac
cept during the coming months
the lower grades of meat usually
rejected by the army and left for
civilian consumption.

As we view the problems be

that if it does the full duty now

faced with more real problems,

Farmers who plead for prices

the same time boosting organiza

are, to put it mildly, shortsight
ed. An excellent example of
this conflict can be seen in the
two types of coope atives: the
consumer or purchasing coopera
tive and the marketing <>r snilirw
cooperative. In the former, a
group of consumers band togeth
er to buy and sell goods at c< st
Normal business profits,by which
we all must live, are eliminated
In the latter, a group, usually
farmers, band together to form ;
at effective marketing organiza
tion in order to insure themselves j
a fair price and a reasonable
profit in a competitive market.!
The two are as incompatible a
night and day. One dest >
business, the other helps to build 1
business. — Indusriai Index.

THE COST OF DISCIPLESIIIP
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 10:16-28 , 29.
GOLDEN TEXT—If any man will come
after me, let him deny himself, and take
up hit Croat, and follow me.—Matthew 16.24.
What you have is not your own.
In fact, if you are a Christian, both
you and your possessions belong to I
God (see I Cor. 6:20; 7:23). To be
His disciple involves the recognition
of the fact that life is essentially a j
stewardship, holding our property I
and our persons in trust for Him.
The cost of disclpleship is one
which should be candidly faced.
It is far more than the cost of join
ing a church or subscribing to a
creed. That may and often does
mean little or nothing, but to be a
follower of Christ calls for thinking
and living in accordance with His
standards. We must—
I. Think Right About God (w. 16,
17).
The picture of this rich, intelli
gent young man, a leader in his ;
community, coming to Christ with |
his eager quest for eternal life is a
most attractive one. He recognized
Jesus as a master in Israel and a
good man.
His thinking about our Lord did
not go far enough, and Jesus cor
rected him at once. He pointed out
that if he recognized Him as good,
then He must be God. Far from
disclaiming divinity, Jesus declared
here that everyone who thinks right
about Him must agree that He is
God.
It is of the highest Importance
that the follower of Christ be clear
that his master is God. Otherwise,
his attitude toward Him will reflect
his defective viewpoint, and his
witness concerning Him will lead
men astray instead of aright. Cor
rect doctrine is vitally important as
the foundation of real disciplcship.
The one who thinks right about
God will—
11. Live Right With Others (vv. 18-
20).
The commandments to which
Jesus referred were those which
concerned a man’s relationship to
his fellow man. There is to be no
violence to another person, no de
ceit or trickery, no dishonoring of
confidence, but an active interest
and love for one’s neighbor as well
as one's family.
The disciple of Christ cannot ef
fectively serve Him in this world
1 without a proper attitude toward
others. He must not sin against
them, that is clear; but what is
more, he must be known as one who 1
loves them.
Note that this young man could i
honestly say that he had kept these
commandments. Few of us could
make such a claim, but he did. And
Jesus did not question it or rebuke
him. In fact, He loved him for it
(see Mark 10:21).
What a fine character this young
man had, what limitless possibili
ties for usefulness, what promise for
the future! But something was lack
ing, something stood in his way.
Jesus went directly to the heart of
his trouble and told him that he
must—
111. Act Right About IMoncv (vv.
21-26).
Toward persons, his life was
rightly related, but toward his pos
sessions—ah, (hat was another mat
ter. He was rich and his money
stood between him and God, be
tween him and a life of service and
spirituality.
When a man has money and uses
it for God’s glory and the good of
his fellow man, it is a blessing to
him and to others. But when money
lays hold of a man, and it has him
instead of his having it, spiritual dis
aster is ahead, and not far away.
It is proper to be prudent, thrifty,
and ambitious, but when the gath
ering of wealth becomes the upper
most thing, even these worthy qual
ities become the enemies of a man's
soul.
Note the astonishment of the dis
ciples (v. 25). They, too, though
(hey had little or nothing, had been
smitten with the awe for riches.
Do not miss the glorious assur
ance of verse 26. Nothing is im
possible with God. He can even
save a rich man, and does it!
Now there is more to discipleship
than sacrifice. God has a recom
pense for His children. Let us
IV. Expect the Right Reward
(v. 29).
No one has ever lost anything by
serving the Lord. He gives liberally
and makes a hundredfold return for
every sacrifice we make. Christian
workers can testify that God has lit
erally fulfilled this promise to them. [
But the greatest reward of all
waits beyond the end of this earth
ly life. Over yonder there awaits
us the prospect of eternal fellowship
with the Lord we love and serve,
and with all those who share with
us the place of being disciples, fol
lowers, and servants of Christ.
This life brings many precious
moments of joy and satisfaction.
There is friendship and comradeship
in labor. There are a thousand
blessings even here, but the great
est of all is the prospect of being
■forever with the Lord.
