THEY SAY
By HUBERT DODD.
"Another saying of His was this: ‘The
Kingdom of God is as if a man scatter
ed seed over the ground: he spends days
and nights, now awake, now asleep, while
the seed sprouts and grows tall, he knows
not how. Os itself the land produces the
crop—first the blade, then the ear; aft
erwards the perfect grain in the ear. But
no sooner is the crop ripe, than he sends
the reapers, because the time of harvest
has come’.” Mark iv:26-29, Weymouth.)
This is a parable about the Kingdom
of God, and indicates that man’s part,
whether in making a crop of corn or in
salvaging souls, is secondary to the part
God does. Man can sow and he can reap,
and, of course, he does a little work; but
after all has been said and, done, we have
to recognize the truth of the words of
Jesus that "Os itself the land produces
the crop.”
After the crop is ripe, however, man
has the happy privilege of harvesting it.
How foolish it is for a man to plant the
seed in the spring, but in the fall be so
lazy and no account that he will not go
out to gather the cotton or corn or peas.
And this is not more foolish than for
Christian people of the church to sow the
Word of God and then fail to harvest
the crop. That is exactly what we have
been doing too often. We have not sown
too much, but we have reaped too little.
Consequently, we have failed to gather
into the channels of the church the tal
ents that have ripened under the benevo
lent influence of the Gospel. We have
failed to challenge some of the best tal
ent in the land. As a result the church
goes limping along, suffering for a lack
of leadership and teaching talent. The
very best a man or woman is or has be
cause of the love and mercy of God, man
ifested in Christ, is due the Kingdom of
God. And the church of God is foolish if
it fails to challenge the best —foolish if
it fails to reap the harvest of its sowing.
We can not do anything much, except
to sow’ and reap, so let us, by all means,
not fail to do both. Let us heed the mes
sage of a great hymn :
Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, MARCH 16,1939
GRACE
(Installment XIV)
By J. W. KING.
We have found that grace is profitable
for all things having promise of the life
that now is, and of that which is to come
(I Tim. i:8). So the grace of God is the
basis of everything in time and eternity
that is good and desirable. It is the basis
of every fundamental Christian doctrine
taught in the Bible. It is the basis of
tlie doctrine of the resurrection of the
body from the grave when Jesus comes
the second time without sin unto salva
tion. It is the basis of our hope of ob
taining bread to eat day by day, of the
oxygen that we breathe. It is the only
basis for receiving the benefits of the
atonement of Christ on the cross for our
sins and our faiith in him which consti
tutes the channel through which we re
ceive that very grace by which we are
saved, and receive every other favor both
temporal and spiritual in this life and in
eternity.
And this applies to the unbelievers as
well as the believer. So far as we are all
dependent on him for them and as he
has promised all alike to eat bread by
the sweat of the broy, and thus meet the
conditions of eating bread and yet you
go on ignoring him and treating him with
downright contempt as if you were not
entirely dependent upon him for all these
things and without which you could not
live tin this world another minute. And
as if his supply was not inexhaustible.
Grace is even the basis of our social
blessings and yet some of us abuse them
as if they were trivial matters. How could
we get pleasure out of this life if de
prived of all social blessings? How could
we get along without our churches and
schools, lodges and clubs? And yet some
of us, even some members, treat them as
if they could do as well without them
as with them ; not considering that with
out them, we would all be savages. It
seems to me that if all of us would take
the time to sit down and seriously think
about the inestimable value and all the
benefits and products of all the divine
favor —grace of God —we would appre
ciate these great blessings more and try
more to live more consistent lives as citi
zens and especially Christians.
Gore School News
By BETTY JIM OWINGS.

To Query Women
All Over South
Touring Reporters have now asked
over 1,200 women and girls of
leading Southern Cities the now
famous question: “Were you
helped by CARDUI?”
Averaging all replies so far shows
that 93 out of every 100 users
questioned declared CARDUI
benefitted them!
Users by thousands are eager to
tell how CARDUI has given
them appetite; helped them gain
strength; has thus relieved them
of the symptoms of functional
dysmenorrhea due to malnutrition.
Many also say that, when symp
toms indicate the need, CARDUI
in larger doses helps “at the
time” to soothe pain.
