Every Farm Should' Have One of
These Pretty Streams Punning ^
Through Its Meadows.
I have found it jafc last—the thing
[ have been dreaming about during
all these years of city bondage; the
thing that- opens up vistas of bucolic
beauty and benediction; a rift of
blue sky through"the smudge and
smoke of the strenuous strife! And
it has everything on it, except the
: brook murmuring lazily through the
meadows and kicking up its silver
heels over pebbled pathways. But
you can’t have everything on a small
farm that someone else laid out in
the days when city dwellers were not
looking for babbling brooks. If I
bad had the parcelling out of farms,
I would have put a laughing brook”
Somewhere on each one, for the pink-
footed ducks to frolic in and snap
their long bills over juicy bugs and
worms. Perhaps the great and good
Husbandman did not have enough
brooks to go ’round, and I must
worry along without a brook. Per-
haps I will make one some of these
days.. In the meantime, I advise all
my neighbors who have babbling
brooks to take them in"at night.-—

Magazine Editor—Well, for one

sons
those four events that marked the
crisis in1* the life of Jesus at Caperna-
um. It occurred just before the third
period of his Galilean ministry and his
final departure for Jerusalem.
Lessons II. and 'VII. of the second
quarter of this year showed us ^Jesus'
attitude towards the law. Here we
see his attitude towards rabbinical tra-
dition. (1) They are the traditions of
men, and not the law of God. (2) They
were made a pretext whereby men
evaded the commands of the law.
We see before us three general divi-
sions, I.—The accusation, v. 1-5; II.—
The answer, v. 6-13, and III.—The ap-
plication, v. 14-23. *
Ceremonial Neglected___
^he growing hatred of the. Phari-
sees led them to make the long jour-
ney from Jerusalem that they might
observe him and find wherein to ac-
cuse him. While they were studying
him they at the same time reyealed
their ideal of the kingdom of God.
They took special notice that the dis-
ciples of Jesus ate without the careful
observance of the ceremonial cleans-
ing of their hands. We must not un-
derstand this to mean so much the
removal of actual uncleanness, but
rather that the disciples hdd neglect-
ed the ceremonial oservance of the
washing of hands of which the Phari-
sees were so punctilious. Mark (v. 3
and 4) adds illumination "by calling
especial attention to these traditions
to which the Jews adhered so tena-
ciously Thus we can see that their
ideal of man's relation to God was
largely a matter of external ceremony.
Purity to them was an outward mat-
ter, something largely governed by the
traditions of men and which they had
“received to hold" v. 5. The answer
of Jesus reveals a very opposite ideal.
He begins by calling the Pharisees
hypocrites. A hypocrite is a play
actor, one whd hides behind a mask.
Then applying the prophecy of Isaiah,
Jesua tells the Pharisees that they
are hiding their true character behind
the mask of ceremonial cleansing.
Such play acting is but a poor imi-
tation of the real heart condition de-
manded by God (Ps. 51:10). Their
hearts were far from'God even though
with their lips they professed to
serve him, “and many like things
ye do." The service which Is pleas-
ing to God is the doing of his will. It
consists not in the fulfilling of a rit-
ual, but in the fulfillment of life, e. g.,
a growing character.
Disciples Perplexed.
Jesus takes advantage of this dis-
cussion and turning to the mutitude
upon whom the Pharisees would bind
such a grievous burden of cermonial-
ism and falsehood (Matt. 23:4) warns
them that it is not so much that which
enters into a man that defiles him, but
rather that which proceeds out of a
man, v. 15. It seems quit© natural that
the disciples should be perplexed and
should ask Jesus what was meant by
such a statement. Jesus' answer, v.
18-23, shows us Very clearly that
these things coming forth, reveal the
corruption within. Read Matthew
12:34, 35, Gen. 6:5 and James 3:10-12.
Real purity is purity of heart, If the
heart be not cleansed, what will it
avail if we wash the hands? What,
then, is the application for this pres-
ent day? Clearly we are taught the
danger of lip service without a change
of heart. The danger of substituting
the good for the best. Forms and
ceremonies are good and have their
place. They are significant. They
are important teaching factors, but
they must not be substituted for a
pure heart. We must beware lest we
hide behind such a mask.
There is here also' the plain teach-
ing as to Jesus’ estimate of the Pen-
tateuch ^tnd inferential^ of the proph-
ecy of Isaiah. He specifically calls it
the “Word of God.” Surely we can
accept his estimate as contrasted
with the traditions of the elders or
the “consensus of modern thought."
There is here also a great opportu-
nity to emphasize filial duty. This
is a day and a Urn. that needs empha. t jj than it used to‘
sis upon the fifth commandment. Oon-
WELL, YES!
He was fresh from the short grass
and his first visit to a museum of
art was proving decidedly interest-
ing. After taking in the classical sec-
tion, he met a habitue of the gallery
and in his breezy western way, broke
the ice.
“They’ve got some pretty fine pic-
tures here,” he began.
“Yes,” replied the other, “some of
the pieces are very valuable.”
“But say,” said the newcomer.
“They’ve got some rocky ones in the
medical department, ain’t they?”
TOO SENSITIVE.
“There is absolutely no use to talk
to me about woman suffrage.”
“Really, old man, I cannot under-
stand why you oppose it so strong-
ly.” ' '
“Well, I’ll tell you. I was in a
clothing store last week looking at
some neckties when a woman came
in and told one of the clerks she
wanted to buy a collar for her dog.”

MIGHT DO WOR8E.
“You are always giving advice,”
said the impatient person.”
'Well,” replied the sentient friend,
“you ought to be thankful that I
give you the results of my experience
instead of asking you to listen to the
entire Jmrd luck story.”—Washing-
ton Btar.. ^
In Memorium
R esolved, that in the passing
away of our beloved sister and
fellow club member, Mrs. A. L
Emery, the Woman’s Club of Ar-
ansas Pass has sustained a great
loss;
That we extend to the bereaved
family our heartfelt sympathy in
this dark hour of their sorrow;
That while we mourn her loss
we well remember that "To Live
in Hearts We. Leave Behind is
Not to Pier .
That we cherish her memory as
a pure, loyal woman, a devoted
wife and a loving mother;
That a copy of these resolutions
be sent to the family of our de-
ceased sister, and a copy to the
Aransas Pass Progress, and that a
copy be spread upon our minutes
in loving remembrance and a last
tribute of sisterly faffection 'from
her co-workers.

sideration of parents’ sacrifice, co-op-
eration with them in the bearing of
burdens, comfort for them in sorrow
and adversity, and cheer for them as
they journey down life’s pathway. Fil-
ial disrespect and an iconoclastic ir-
reverence of things holy are two
things that are cursing the rising gen-
eration.
And lastly, there is here a lesson
to emphasize as to what constitutes
real cleansing. The believer is
cleansed “once’ for all.” Heb. 10-1-12,
but needs frequent daily confession
that he may abide in unbroken fel-
lowship. The blood of Christ not
only cleanses from the guilt but the
defilement also.—Eph. 5:25-27 and I.

“Less wishing and more doing,

A letter to Roy Duphone from

tendent Supreme Lodge Knights
of Pythias, dated at Tyler |Texas,
in part says: “f am sending you

for distribution among our mem-

ing point,- outside of. the fact, that
we grant the same insurance that
the old line companies do for less
money, and on the easy monthly
payment plan, is that just-recently
the department has purchased $ 10
000 of the bonds of your town,
and are therefore patronizing your
town and feel that we migb ' , hr a
measure have the appreciation of
the Pythians there, shown in the
fact that we have some invest-
ments in the securities Kof your
place by having some applications
written. I will greatly appreciate
your efforts along this line
