son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost luke 1910 the lbssox as a whole the 14th and 16th chapters of luke are arranged in a most inter esting moral order it might be said that in chapter 14 we have the gos pel feast chapter 15 shows us the kind of guests who partake of it and in chapter 16 we have the fate of those who ignore the gracious invita tion strictly speaking there is but one parable in three sections in chapter 15 it sets forth the interest taken by the entire trinity of the god head in the salvation of lost sinners in that section dealing with the lost sheep we see the son of god the good shepherd seeking the wandering one the second part por trays the work of the holy spirit in the church of god illuminating the darkness and bringing to light the lost pieces of silver the third sec tion gives us the fathers welcome to the returning prodigal this part of the parable however has been made n separate lesson in this series to be i taken up later on so we pass it by it present giving our special atten- j iou to the lost sheep and the lost i coin it is objected sometimes that j lje 15 cannot be the gospel be- i cause no mention is made of atone ment but wo need to remember that every phase of the evaugel is uot set forth in any one portion of scripture what is emphasized here is mans lost helpless condition and the energy of the godhead in seek ing to save other scriptures show us that only through the work of redemption orom 324 wrought out on the cross could god be just and the justlfier of him which be- lieveth in jesus rom 326 on the basis of this work he is ever seeking to save the lost the historical setting the lord jesus was still in the same place as in chapter 14 when the events of this chapter took place certain scribes and pharisees objec ted to his eating with those openly yecognized as sinners and this drew from the lord the parable which made clear his attitude toward such verse by verse luke 151 then drew near un to hini all the publicans and sin ners encouraged doubtless by th instruction based upon the parabl e the great supper these outcast of society felt that there would be welcome for them and so dared tj iraw near to jesus verso z this man recelveth sin ners to the haughty selfrighteou leaders in israel this was one of tbj worst charges that could be brough aiainst jesus but we can rejoic that it is blessedly true he does re ceive sinners he came from heaveq for that very purpose verse 3 this parable not that it is one parable in three parts all designed to show gods ineresl in sinners and to justify tho attitudl jesus himself has taken and which the pharisees and scribe objected verse 4 doth not leave th ninety and nine in the wilderness saukeys beautiful hymn says the safely lay in the shelter of th folil but that is to miss the tru meaning the ninety and nine ar those who do not realize their need the lost sheep is the sinner wh acknowledges his lost conditioi luke 1910 verso 5 he layeth it on hi continued on next page the task will be greater in 1941 than it has been in 1940 if is going to demand more effort more sacrifice and far more change in our daily lives rt hon w i mackenzie king already the pattern and pace of life in canada have undergone a profound change gaps in employment are rapidly filling up some 350000 canadians who were unemployed before the outbreak of war arenow employed another 200000 are with our armed forces factories which until recently were turning out goods for civilian consumption have been transformed into humming arsenals pouring out in struments of war night and day shifts have become the rule rather than the exception but the peak of effort is not yet in sight in 94 1 still more factories will switch to war produc tion new plants will be established thousands more will be employed this rising tide of activity must continue until we reach the flood of effort when every canadian will be employed and working to his utmost every n possible square inch of plant will be utilized every wheel will be whirring in the race we are waging against time and the enemy more men are working working longer hours making more munitions earning more money producing more goods putting more money into circulation most canadians are sharing in this in creased national wealth have extra dollars in their pockets the effort the prime minister calls for is gaining momentum but many canadians as individuals have not yet felt the real pinch of sacrifice canadians of all classes are sharing tax burdens but it must be admitted that up to date the larger part of the money needed for canadas war effort has come from business firms and individuals with large incomes they are paying high taxes they have already invested heavily in war loan bonds new years eve 1940 this is not enough the plain truth is that canadas rapidly expanding production for war purposes will require increasing sums of money that is why the prime minister warned canadians in his new years broadcast that the year ahead demands more effort and more sacrifice every man woman and child is asked to lend every dollar you lend will help to put another man in a job making more munitions every dollar you lend may save a soldiers life help to shorten the war small wage earners must carry their share of the burden too no one need go without necessities but you are urged to forego the purchase of unnecessary articles however small the cost no matter how well you are able to pay for them which take labour and material away from the great task of providing goods needed to win the war this is your war everything you have everything you believe in is now at stake this is a message to you a challenge to every canadian a call to the colours a call for volunteers be sure to make provision to pay your income tax payment is made easier by the new instalment plan but be prepared to do more budget your earnings to make sure that you will have money available to buy war savings certificates and to subscribe for war loan bonds you will help canada you will help yourself worksavelend-
