So much news come to the of-
fice on Wednesday that the

able if any news is left out.

We wish to call the attention
of our readers to the back page
of this issue—the “Boosters
Page.’' These business men have
joined the Chamber of Com-
merce and are working together,
trying to make Mesquite a better
place in which to live. They are
your friends. Spend your dollars
and dimes with them.
We regret that a few of our
business men have not taken
membership with the Chamber °f
Commerce. T0 our way of think-
ing, a business man who fails to
lineup with this organization
that is for the growth, better-
ment and prosperity of Mesquite
and its trade territory, not only
injuries himself but the town
and community.

For centuries the religious
world has recognized the value
of one day in seven as a day of
worship and spiritual regenera,
tion. Today our Sunday is used
for many interests besides spiri-
tual activities. But for our own
good and because of our eleva-
tion to God we ought to spend
at least a part of each Sunday
in the church services and in
fellowship with fellow Chris-
tians. May every Methodist
show his devotion to God by
attending all three services next
Sunday. Friends and visitors
are always welcome

I. Forgiveness, a Christian Obligation
(vv. 1-4).
Owing to the fundamental fact of
human Individuality, the perversion by
sin, and the power and wickedness of
the devil, offenses, or occasions of
stumbling, are bound to come. Because
mankind Is fallen and sin reigns In In-
dividual hearts, the results are bound
to reveal themselves, but Jesus pro-
nounces “woe" upon those whose evil
deeds become a stumbling stone In the
way of others, especially “one of these
little ones."
The follower of Christ Is to take
heed that his life be not Injurious, but
that It be exemplary. The believer Is
to cultivate the forgiving spirit toward
the wrongdoer, while rebuking the
wrong. Great skill and grace are re-
quired to rebuke one for wrongdoing,
revealing at the same time the forgiv-
ing spirit, so as to win him Instead of
exasperating him.
II. Humility, a Christian Quality (vv.
5-10).
Humility Is at the heart of this trio
of Christian graces. Much faith Is re-
quired to establish and maintain hu-
mility. Human nature Impels one to
push Q$$rs aslile, to struggle for su-
premacy, to reach the exalted positions
In life. Humility moves one to seek
the lowly place, while giving places of
honor to others, and being sincerely
happy when others are granted the pre-
ferred positions. Surely, for this one
must have faith In God.
III. Gratitude, an Uncommon Grace
(vv. 11-19).
The account of the ten lepers Is per-
haps the most used Bible portion In
enforcing the lesson of gratitude as
against Ingratitude. There are a num-
ber of things to be considered, If we
are fully to understand the call for
gratitude.
1. Their awful affliction (v. 12).
They were lepers. In that day no
greater tragedy could befall one than
to be thus afflicted. It was regarded
as contagious and Incurable. The af-
fected person became a social outcast,
and was avoided and neglected. The
Mosaic law provided for segregation
(Lev. 18:40).
Leprosy has always been regarded
as typical of sin, and at times as visit-
ed upon Individuals because of sin.
Examples: the leprosy of Naaman (n
Kings 5); GehazI (II Kings 5); Miriam
(Num. 12); Uzztah (II Kings 15:5).
Leprosy may lay long dormant, and
then make a sudden appearance; so
with sin. Leprosy waxes worse and
worse; so with sin. And the end of
aln Is death.
2. Their cry for mercy (v. 13). The
ten recognized their great need, and
that no human help was available.
Testimonies that had floated to their
hearing told of a great Healer, and
when He came their way they were not
slow to make their prayer to him.
The faith of the lepers Immediately
revealed Itself In acting upon the In-
structions of Jesus that they go and
show themselves to the priest. While
they went they were cleansed. They |
were to obey the Old Testament re- !
quirement for the recording of their ;
cleansing, that they need no longer be
outcasts. The sinner may find salva-
tion along the path of dally duty, If
he will but believe.
3. Their differing attitudes following
healing (vv. 15-19).
a. The gratitude of the one (vv. 15,
10) is beautiful and Inspiring. He Is
referred to ns “this stranger," evident-
ly a Gentile, but so deep was his grati-
tude he hastened back to Jesus to give
thanks. The one who might be least
expected to show gratitude was the
one who sincerely expressed It.
b. The nine who neglected (vv.
17-19), who fnlled to give thunks, have
through the centuries been charged
with Ingratitude. Their healing was
as complete; they had as much reason
to recognize Jesus as their healer as
had "this stranger.” Perhaps, as Is
true of so many believers of today,
they took their benefits for granted
and were Indifferent rather than un-
grateful, Many nowadays take all they
can get from Christ and give nothing
in return. The noblest blessings of
civilization are ours through Christ,
yet how few thank him for them.

COMMERCIAL LOANS
When a commercial banker extends credit, he is using pri-
marily the money of his depositors, money which he may be
asked on short notice to repay.
This determines thei type of loans or investments that a
cornmerical bank may make. It means that commerical loans
must be self-liquidating within a reasonable time. It means also
that secured loans must be backed by marketable collateral.
Plenty of money for commercial loans.
