Rev. S. P. Pryor preached
Sunday morning at the Presby-
terian church on the text, Luke
VII, 36-50, which records the
coming of Mary Magdalene to the
home of the Pharisee and her
forgiveness by Christ. He said
in part:
“Jesus did not disdain to asso-
ciate himself with any class of
people. He was just as ready to
dine with a publican as with a
Pharisee, with a sinner as with a
righteous man. In the account
before us it is recorded how he
accepted the invitation to become
a guest of a Pharisee. The Phar-
isees were as a class enemies to
him, yet he went to dine with a
representative of their sect. We
know not what motive actuated
the Pharisee in his invitation. It
may have been that he was inter-
ested in the teachings of Jesus
and wished to learn more of them,
or it may have been that he
wished to entrap him.
“While "sitting at the table of
Pharisee, another character ap-
pears upon the scene—a poor,
miserable, outcast woman. She
came weeping and washed His
feet with her tears and wiped
them with the hairs of her head.
Beholding her actions, the Phar-
isee was astonished that Jesus
did not shrink from her touea.
Jesus reading his thoughts turned
to him and reminded him that
when he entered into his house
as a guest, he was offered no
water with which to wash his
feet, no oil with which to anoint
his head, but this woman had not
ceased to wash his feet with her
tears and and anoint them with
precious ointment.
“Let us, therefore, consider
these three characters, the wom-
an, the Pharisee and Christ:
“Of this unfortunate woman,
it i3 simply said, that she was a
sinner. But from the context we
would gather that she was an
outcast, and we are led to sup-
pose that by one act she placed
herself beyond the sympathy of
the world, and be it said to its
shame, beyond the pity of the
church. The proud Pharisee
with all his boasted righteous-
ness, looked upon her without a
throb of pity. There is no effort
in the narrative to palliate or
excuse her crimes. Not only
was she a sinner, but a heart-
broken sinner. She realized
that somehow, she had missed
the way, that there was nothing
now in life to make it worth liv-
ing. Not oxly was she heart-
broken, but she was humble.
She comes into the presence of
Jesus without so much as lifting
up her eyes to his, or opening
her lips, but she wept and wash-
ed his feet with her tears, in
humble devotion. She made no
effort to excuse her great crimes
but in contrition she rendered
her homage to the Master. Not
only was she humble but she was
trustful. Somehow she had come
to the conclusion that Jesus
would not spurn her as had the
rest. Christ did not utter one
harsh word as to her t past life or
her present condition, but re-
ceived her with sympathy.
“We turn from the poor sinful
woman to another character in
marked contrast to her. The
Pharisee did not even believe
himself to be a sinner, but im-
agined that God was under great
obligations to him because -of the
exalted character of life which
he had lived. It had never oc-
curred to him that he stood in
need of divine grace, that it
would have been well for him to
have bowed down before Jesus
and confessed his sin, andfplead
for forgiveness. Proud in his
own righteousness, he felt him-
self contaminated by the touch
of the miserable woman. He
was of the class that fasted os-
tentatiously and prayed aloud on
the street corners, and proclaimed
his righteousness from the house-
tops. Not only self-righteous,
but he was cold and unsympa-
thetic. True religion opens up
the heart of man toward his fel-
low man. The pitiable condi-
tion of the outcast woman did not
appeal to the Pharisee in the
least.. The Pharisees are not all
dead yet. There are those out-
side of the church who look upon
the people of God with supreme
disdain, and there are the Phari-
sees in the church who are just
as bad. All of us are affected
with Phariseeism more or less.
Who of us have not gathered our
skirts about us, and passed the
degraded by lest we be contami-
nated with their touch?
“Only too gladly do we turn
from these to the character of the
Christ. On His character there
was no blot of sin. He had pass-
ed through the furnace of temp-
tation, and there was not the
smell of fire upon his garments.
Yet He was touched withafeeling
of our infirmities and sympathiz-
ed with us in our sins and afflic-
tions. He saw the blackness and
the guilt of' the woman’s heart,
and that was the greater reason
that he should extend a helping
hand to her. For Christ recog-
nized the latent possibilities in
the life of the woman. He knew
that in that woman’s heart there
was still a spark of the divine,
which might be fanned into a
glowing flame. His mission was
not to such as the self-righteous

The practice of carrying revol-
vers is being discussed by the
press and we hope it will have a
good effect. The habit is all too
commonin Texas. It is danger-
ous to the community and should
be suppressed as far as possible
by the officers. In Kansas City
a man “toting” a gun is fined
five hundred dollars and this is a
good big pile of money to pay for
the privilege. Carrying a gun
leads to murder; nine times in
ten when a difficulty occurs it is
the fellow who goes loaded that
commits a crime and it is safe to
say that the man who always
goes armed is the biggest coward,
and it is a coward who shoots
when he gets scared. If the of-
ficers will start a crusade looking
to the breaking up of this pistol-
RUNNING RISKS
PESPITE the prevalence of
robbery, a few continue to keep
money about their homes. In
thus doing they are not only
risking the loss of money, but
also their lives. How much
safer and better it would he it
these people would bring their
money to the bank. Are you
running such risks?

mission. We are not to move
in that small circle of society in
which we are placed, but we are
to reach out to the sinful, the
lowly, the drunkard in the ditch,
and everywhere to carry the mes-
sage of the Christ who can save
and who is anxious to save.
What the church needs most is to
receive the spirit of the blessed
Christ, the spirit that builds up
hope in the sinners’ heart. It is
the spirit that blesses the world
as does a refreshing shower bless
the thirsty earth. What the
world needs is not great church
buildings and eloquent preachers,
but lives that have been touched
by the divine spirit of Christ,
lives that are as refreshing show-
ers, or as a great rock in a weary
land.”

On last Friday evening Mr. and
Mrs. J. D. Cassell entertained a
number of their friends with the
interesting game of forty-two.
The gilded figures four and two
artistically joined together and
tied with dainty colored ribbon
formed the score cards. After a
number of exciting games, all re-
paired to the dining room where
delicious refreshments were serv-
ed. At a late hour the guests
dispersed bidding the host and
hostess good night and express-
ing themselves as having spent
a most enjoyable evening. Those
present were:—
Messrs, and Meadames Word,

The Farm and Ranch of this
week contains an excellent arti-
cle from the pen of Fernando
Miller of Lampasas, on “Suc-
cessful Methods of Budding the
Pecan.” Mr. Miller read this
article before the Texas Farmers
Congress at College Station this
summer and it created consider-
able favorable comment. Mr.
Miller is an expert along this
line and thoroughly understands
the culture of pecans from long
experience and observation.

The farmers of Ellis county
have organized an Anti-Johnson
Grass League, and are taking
steps to- prevent the further
spread of the pest by scattering
seed along the railroads and
public thoroughfares. There is
no question that Johnson grass
on land is the greatest nuisance
that can be possiby imagined.
Poor land may be fertilized and
wet spots may be drained, but
nothing can successfully eradi-
cate Johnson grass when it once
gets a start.
