THE MISSION OF THE TWELVE.
LESSON TEXT-Matt. 9t85 to 10:15 and
10:10 to 11:1.
GOLDEN TEXT—“He that recelveth
you reoeiveth me, and he that recelveth
me receivath him that sent me,’’—Matt.
10:40.
The first verse of our lesson Is a
vivid picture of the life of our Lord.
Going about from village to village,
he taught, healed and preached the
good tidings of his new kingdom.
Why? Not only because of his com-
passionate heart as revealed in the
second verse of the lesson, but also
as a proof of his claims and, “that be-
lieving ye might have life through his
name,’’ John 20:30, 31. This does not,
however, lessen the force of this sec-
ond verse, for Jesus as the true Shep-
herd was indeed “touched with a feel-
ing of our infirmities.” Seeing the
multitude thus without a shepherd, so
faint and weary as to lay down and
knowing that bis great work was to
be carried oa by otherB after he had
“finished” it upon Calvary, he makes
special provision by choosing the
twelve and telling them definitely how
to carry on his ministry.
Jesus realized that no one man can
minister to all others except as he
multiplies his personality In the lives
of others. So It is that he gives the
church of today a powerful example of
how to answer the prayer of verse 38
by his practical method suggested In
verse 1 of chapter 10. His vision of
verse 36 is the passion of his life and
he intends It to he the passion of our
lives.
Disciples Restricted.
Following this introduction we find
a list of the peculiarly chosen ones
who are to be his vlce-gerents after
his passing, and from verse 5 on we
find the charge he delivers to them..
There is In this charge, first, the note^
of limitation, verses 6 to 15; secondly,
the note of warning, verses 16 to 23,
and thirdly the note of comparison,
verse 24 to the end of this chapter
and including 10:1. True, In this les-
Bon we have only the first section, the
limitation together with the final
wordB of the charge which in reality
amounts to a complete identification
of his apostles with himself and his
life of ministry.
Notice the grouping of the nameB
of these disciples. First the three
who formed that Inner circle, Peter,
James and John, and with them An-
drew, who first brought Peter to Je-
sus (John 1:41). After these the
names are in groups of two, and It
was as such they were afterwards
sent out, Mark 6:7. So we today are
not alone, Matt. 28:20, Acts 1:8.
T,«t ns observe the restrict inn placed
upon these disciples. Thejf are to
minister not to the Gentiles nor even
the Samaritans, though Jesus dft both
during his life, John 4:4 andfMatt.

completo and Israel has had its day
of opportunity. After Calvary this re-
striction Is removed, as we can see
from the book of Acts.
Another restriction is in the mes-
sage and the method. The message
Is to be the good news of the king-
dom. They are to “herald forth” that
It Is at hand. That the Messiah has
come. We are told that they are not
to force the acceptance of their mes-
sage. That In Its proclamation they
shall receive all sorts of opposition.
That they must look well to their
own character, they are to be as sheep
amidst wolves, they shall he haled
before courts and potentates, but such
persecution shall be a witness against
their persecutors for “his sake.”
Bearing of Disciples.
What is to he their method? First,
it is to be that of absolute depend-
ence upon the Father. It is true that
Paul labored with his own hands, but
at the same time ho accepted the
bounty of the churches and urged that
such fruit might abound, Phil. 4:10,
15, 17. Jesus is here teaching us the
other lesson that the “laborer is wor-
thy of his hire.” The disciple Is to
heal. The ministry of hospital, nurs-
ing and godly physicians is a marvel-
ous fulfillment of this command. Ob-
serve well the ministry of medical
missions. There is no greater inspi-
ration to the Christian church. What
is to he the bearing of these disciples?
It is to bo that of dignity and self-
respect, see Luke 10:5.
While it is true the disciple is to
offer and not to force his message
upon the people, yet for Israel to re-
ject. was indeed a worse state than
that of Sodom and Gomorrah. The
overthrow nod scattering of the Jew-
ish nation is a byword in history.
As to the note of compassion, we
should read all of this chapter.
Remember the dignity of our work.
Remember that we go in the name of
One who came to “shew forth the Fa-
ther.” Remember that as wo thus
“forth-tell” and shew forth our Father
and that as we receive others and oth-
ers receive us wo honor the Father.
Social service is good, but let It be
done in the name of a disciple and to
the glory of God the Father. Such,
Indeed, Is the practical life of the
called ones who follow in the steps
of him who came to minister und not
to be ministered unto.

Matagorda County
--FARMER——
The Matagorda County Farmer
got word this week about those new
Florida cows that give soft butter
instead of milk, as was stated in
the Beacon some time ago. "The
news I have this week is very en-
couraging, and I think I’ll turn
about nineteen handsprings for joy
before many more weeks go by. The
fellow says that I can have one of
his one-year-old hei era for $2,000,
ind the animal wiil be shipped to
Matagorda county as soon as it gets
over a spell of sickness, caused by
eating orange rinds I am now
raising the 2000, and will make my
friends a proposition. The man
who chips in the biggest amouot can
haul the animal from the depot and
introduce it to our climate.
I expect to build up a wonderful
herd in this county. With each cow
I sell I will give a butter mold in
which the cow is to be milked. All
/ou will have to do is to milk into
ihe mold, turn it over, and you have
the butter ready for market. But
.here is yet one draw-back to these
raft-butter cows and that is because
■he butter they give is not salted.
You kuow that nearly every man
who eats butter, as well a9 every
woman, wants it salted, and that is
something they won’t get when we
til raise Florida butier cattle in
Matagorda county, unless another
great improvement is made. The
fellow down in Florida has not been
able to study out a scheme up to the
present^and therefore wants me to
help him out. I never give up hope
of bettering things in this'world
and wiil ceitainly try my luck on
the heifer when 1 get it.
It will be useless to feed the
animal salt in order to salt the but-
ter, because that would be as foolish
as making a hog smoke hickory
sticks to flavor the bacon before it
has separated from the ribs. Wbat I
shall have to do is to soak the calf
iu sail brine and keep it there long
enough to fl ivor it through and
through. When I get the animal I
will have it hauled directly from the
depot to the bath tub. The tub will
be filled to the top with a 1)9 per
cent solution and the calf will be
pickled three weeks. Before im-
mersing it I will give the calf a dose
of morphine anti puncture its hide
with hat pins so that the salt will
go more limn skin deep. When in
the bride. Twill move the calf and
tub to the barn and stand them on
two recking chairs The ceiling of
ihn hnui will ho paint* <1 vu i I i,
pictures of clouds and sea gulls. I
will attach the rocking chairs to a
pullv leading to ray gasoline engine,
and start her off. When the engine
runs the chairs will rock, the brine
will splash from side to side, the calf
will hold its head up, gaze
ceiling, see the clouds and seagulls^
and swear that it has been ship-
wrecked off from the coast of Flor-
ida. The salty water will occasion-
ally splash into its mouth and make
the eensalion realistic to its sense of
taste as to its sense qT'■sight and
feeling. Every day I will shove the
tub one inch closed to the wall, and
by thus making the calf believe that
it is swimming in the ocean, and ap-
proaching land at the rate of an inch
per day, it will endure the horror
for three long weeks without'giving
up hope and dyragrin despair. A calf
in such a pickle must haye some-
thing to keep its mincKon the future,
and by ‘hoying the tub closer to the
wall and putting it in the .same
frame of mind that Columbus was—
in when he sighted America) the
animal will no doubt live through
the performance and breath a happy
sigh of relief at the end of fETs
struggle. After Iwonty-one days
the salt will have boaked it good and
proper and 1 will run the calf thru a
wash wringer to extract all surplus
moisture. If this makes the animal,
too limber it will be starched and
hung on the line to dry, taking care
not to let it go out in the rain after
that. I shall also have to keep it
away from the other cattle and
horses, as they might mistake it 1
a lump of rock salt and lick it out of
existence. When it gets too old and
iu useless as a butter maker, all that
is necessary is to pull off the hide
and sell the rest for dried beef. It’s
wonderful.
I hear that two men of this coun-
ty have a $200 bet as to who is the
Matagorda Country Farmer. I will
be on the streets of Palacioe Satur-
day and give the winning marT~a
chance to smile.
