Attending each of the rallies will be several of the con- ference youth officers and the Florida conference director of youth work, Rev. Warren W. lis, who will serve as general leader. Local arrangements are Jesus teaches Matthew 20:1-16 By RALPH ROGERS Christ and the Christian people of at ages have been interested in the underprivileged, the ‘little’ people of the world. These with whom the Pharisees were disgust- ed, were called, “this crowd who do not know the law, (and) are accursed.”” This ‘crowd’ could not always follow the intricacies, re- God’s grace- Pharisees, but they could under- stand Jesus and while they hated and rejected the Pharisees, they accepted and loved Jesus. The story of the vineyard has been explained in many ways. Cal- vin thought it was an answer to Peter’s question when he asked in Matthew 19:27, “Behold, we have forasken all and followed thee, what shall we have therefore?” Iraneous thought the long hour workers were the prophets of the Old Testament and the eleventh hour workers were the disciples of the New Testament. Gregory said the Jews were the long-hour work- ers and the Gentiles the short hour laborers. It is more likely that Je- sus had in mind the Pharisees, the murmurers who had spent their lives in religion, as compared with ‘the common, rebellious “people of ‘the land” whom they held ac- cursed. Whatever is meant, we a- gree that it was a most encourag- jing word for the. underprivileged. | After all, man is not the judge of rewards. ‘The country people knew what Jesus was talking about when he referred to the kingdom of heaven ‘being “like unto a man that was a householder.” These laborers a- greed for a ‘shilling’ a day. This is the American Stand: Version while the King James Version says a “penny’ a day. Perhaps the American Revised Version is more nearly correct when it says a ‘de- narius.’ A denarius amounts to a- gulations and teachings of the| bout twenty cents and that was the See setae Of Sie. Rev: ak oh & lahoner in’ thet day or Eldon Simmons of Ley Memorial Mothodist Church. Mr, Armstrong, who received his undergraduate training at Florida ‘Southern College, and his‘seminary training at Emory University, At- ita, has long been associated with the youth work of the Metho- dist Church. He is a popular speak- i |er for youth meetings pf all kinds, . has served as the Sharing How speaker in the Floridé Methodist Youth Assemblies for a number of years. He is associate pastor of the First Methodist , Jackson- ville, Florida. Mr. Wills has been in charge of the Florida Methodist Youth program for the past seven years and directs a full summer program of Intermediate Camps |said, “The Lord is my Shepherd, lieve In Man. and Youth Assemblies at the Flori- da Methodist Youth Camp, near a full day’s work. This householder wanted to get his crop in before night so he went out im the market place and hired other workers about the third hour, and again about the sixth and the ninth hour. He told them that he would pay whatever was right and they took him at his word. They asked no questions for they were janxious to get work. My father al-" |ways told me to tell anyone who wanted to hire me that ‘whatever is right will be all right.” I used jto make a little spending money when a lad hauling water for the threshers. The farmer would pay {me generally a dollar a day for imy mule, buckboard and my work ‘After a long day's work, from sun- up till long after dark- since they ‘wanted to finish the job, I worked for a Mr. Jim Reed. After supper ithat night, about nine o'clock, he asked me what I charged for my work. I told him whatever is right. He handed me a dime and said that he thought that was about right. Rev. Rogers To Preach Twice Here On Sun. From Adam to the present gen- eration, everyone seems to want something. Yet the Psalmist has I, Shall Not Want.” That would be wonderful if we wanted for noth- SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON After driving home that night ar- riving about ten o'clock, I was really ashamed to tell my Dad | what I had made that day. Suffice jto say, I never worked for that jhouseholder after that. | Like the laborers in the vine- |yard, I murmured. Some ‘scholars for the householder to act as he did. Yet he stood on his rights and |paid them what he agreed to pay. | Those who had worked in the heat l|of the day and labored faithfully |felt that they were entitled to a bonus. It seems that this lesson teaches that mere obedience, mere merit in men, does not entitle |them to special favors, either with |men or with God. Those who come early have no more right to a spe- cial seat in the kingdom than do those who come in late. Salvation is by faith in the grace and good- ness of, God. Jesus makes the householder |ask, “Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own?” vs 15. God is the ultimate owner of every- thing and all spiritual gifts in this He. determines how these gifts shall be distributed. Another thing about this part of the lesson is that any Christian will rejoice to see a prodigal repent and come home where even the latest converts have the unsearchable riches of Christ thrown open to them. Paul sums it up when he says, “For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is ‘the gift of God; not of works lest any man should boast. (Esph. 2: |9) Dr. Kermit Eby in the Pulpit Di- gest says, “The grumbling, greedy laborers in the Biblical vineyard would have been perfectly at home among the laborers we know today. Organized labor in our time, after years of struggle against unfair odds, is at last in a commanding position, and is demanding and get- ting higher and higher wages, re- gardless of what the increase in wages do to the whole economic structure of the country. Labor is never satisfied; the idea now seems to be to get all it can, not to get what it is worth! Nor is labor alone in that; management and even individuals, are grabbing wildly for profit, and letting the devil take the hindmost! We like to determine what the other fellow should have. There is an old pray- er ofthe Sioux Indians which says, “I was born with music in my soul. I knew musical scores before I knew my ABC’s. It was gift of Providence. I did not quire it. So I do not even deserve jthanks for the music I produce, and I never look upon the money I get as my own. It is public money, merely a fund entrusted ;to my care for proper disburse- ment.” Our talent, our health, our life is a gift of God. A. B. Simpson says, “As dew never falls on.a stormy night, so the dews of His grace never come to the restless soul.” Faith Festival To Be Marked Sunday Ley Memorial Methodist Church, the following services and sub- jects for Sunday, Febrvary 8.
