miracle. It would have meant the
absolute changing of a man's mind.
What would have to happen to the
rich man's mind would be far more
of a wonder than what happened
to his propexty--mad more impor-
tant too.
Leave All
But those are all only if's, Might-
have-been's or Would-have-beens.
The fact is, the rich man did not
change his mind, he held on to
what he had. He wasn't happy
about it at all; "he went away in
great distress" as one modern
translation puts iL And Jesus, who
watched him go, must have felt an
even deeper regret, for Jesus loved
the man. It is not easy to see some
one you love choose the road to
darkness rather than light.
The young man--for he was
young and influentiai as well as
rich--had asked Jesus what he
ought to do to "inherit eternal
life." That was his way of asking
the question that comes in many
forms: How shall I get right with
God? How shall I~be saved? How
can I find life's meaning and live
by it ? Where is the road to Light ?
How call I fulfill my highest des.
tmy
The young man's friends might
have thought that question need-
less; for he was an extraordinarily
good young man. He told Jesus, and
Jesus did not doubt him, that he
had been keeping the Ten Com-
mandments ever since he could re-
member. But Jesus said, "You lack
one thing." Only one--but what a
terrific one thing! Get rid of all you
own, Jesus said, give it to the poor;
then come follow me.

first step in any profitable dairy
program.
As the Extension specialist ex-
plained i~t, one cow's feeding needs
may vary considerabley from an-
other's. If 0he dairyman feeds all
his cows alike, he's apt to either
overfeed or underfeed some of
them.
How can you determine the cor
root amount of feed for dairy cows
The only really accurate way is to
consult dairy records-information

THE CHURCH FOR ALL • ..
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor on earth for
the building of character and good citizenship.
h is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a
strong Church. neither democracy nor civilization
can survive. There are four sound reasons why
every person should attend services regularly and
support the Church. They are: fl) For his
own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For
the sake of his community and nation. (4) For
the sake of lhe Church itself, which needs his
moral and material support. Plan to go to
church regularly and read your Bible daily.

Perhaps the young man did not
hear that last sentence. All he
could hear was "leave all." He
made a mistake that is made to
this very day by people who shy
away from being Christians. There
is a Christian now an old man, who
for more than the firSt sixty years
of his life refused to be a Chris-
tian. He resisted all that members
of his family could say to him. His
reason was at least an honest one.
He knew that the way he made his
money--or to be more precise, he
knew that the way he tried to make
money--namely by gambling, was
not a Christian way of living. He
was not going to pretend to be a
Christian and a gambler too. His
trouble Was that in his mind being
a Christian was chiefly not doing
something he very much enjoyed
doing, at the racetrack or over the
green tables in a club room. As
long as you think of the Christian
life as a giving-up, a cutting-out
of some habit or possession that
you cherish, you never do get .the
right slant. The heart of the Chris-
ttan life, what makes it worth
whge, is in that "Follow meJ'
Major Operation
Would Jesus say to every one,
"Sell all you have and give to the
poor" ? Is it out of the question for
a man or woman with money to
"haherit eternal life"? Is money
something evil in itself ? This could
hardly be true, otherwise Jesus
would not have said to give it to
the poor, but to throw it in the
lake. Jesus counted among his
friends many persons with prop-
erty, and this was the only man
he ever advised to get rid of every
bit of it. It is very likely that
money was a kind of baby tiger
for this young man---harmless
enough at first but destined to turn
into a roaring killer. Two men may
have the ~ame disease; a major
operation may be the only eure for
one of them. The main point is: Get
rid of whatever keeps you from
going all the way with Christ.

Have you tried to satisfy your appetite with a bit of candy or $
hurried snack? The keen edge of hunger may leave--but only tempO"
rarily.
There is another hunger innate in each of us. It is a
ger, our desire to have protection and help from God.
do not really recognize this need. We feel only a restlessness, a lv $°
ing for something better, an unexplained loneliness.
We often try to satisfy this mysterious hunger with the sweets of:,
pleasure, to cover it up with the hurry of many activities. But.it
never be really satisfied until we God as our Heavenly Fat e5
His Son as our Savi6ur.
Jesus Christ said, "I am the bread of life; he that c0meth to i;
shall never hunger."
In the Church we find this Christ who offers us the true bread fr
heaven, the bread which alone satisfies our spiritual hunger.
