T H E L E S S O N O F T H E T R E E S There are more than one hun-

dred fifty references to the trees in the Old Testament. There are more than fifty references in the New Testament. The first book in the Bible, chapter two, tells us of the tree of knowledge and many other trees that Providence planted in the Garden of Eden. Again, in the last book of the Bible the Evangelist tells of the tree of life, the word, tree is mentioned several times in clos-ing the Book.

This season of the year be-hold the trees. The' forests take on a bright and beautiful display of color. It 's a wave of farewell, the summer is waning, the trees would say, we go into rest and slumber through the winter.

All along through the Bible we have the most forceful lessons frcm the trees. In Psalm I the righteous and the wicked are con-trasted by a tree, a righteous man i:, like a tree planted by the stream of water. Isaiah, behold-ing the joy of salvation, shouted, the trees of the field shall clap their hands, Isaiah 55.

In the book of Matthew, chap-ter 7, the world's greatest teacher likens men to trees, so Jesus said, a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good ituit. Every tree that bringeth r.ot forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire, therefore, by their fruits ye shall know them.

Trees, O beautiful trees, what lessons they teach, what value, what untold good to the human race, and O, how man's ruthless hand has mistreated and destroy-

ed them. When Solomon planned the

great temple in Jerusalem he sent to Hiram, King of Tyre, say-ing, give me trees, and long, long before that when Noah built the ark, he looked about him for trees.

Trees for the builder, trees for fruit, for food, for medicine, for shade, for beauty, for pulp to make the very paper we write on,

In Pickaway County, Ohio, is a fine, old tree known as the Logan Elm. Under this tree the Mingo Chief, Logan, made one of the most impressive speeches ever uttered by man. Thomas Jefferson incorporated it in his Notes on Virginia, and declared this speech of the savage equal to anything recorded by Cicero or Demosthenes. Here, sheltered by this mighty Elm, Logan, made a plea to the Great White Father at Washington for the vanishing Americans, called Indians.

Along the Delaware river, a few miles north of the present site of Philadelphia, Pa., William Penn held council with the In-dians beneath a mighty over-spreading Elm Tree. The United States History records it as The Penn Treaty Elm. This Elm was twenty-four feet in circumfer-ence at the base, one of its branches extended out like a giant arm one hundred fifty feet n length. Penn's Treaty with

the Indians was made in 1682 un-der the huge -Elm where many hundreds of the nation could sit in he shade any hour of the day.

In 1791 George Washington was entertained over night in a home near Charlestown, S. C. While awaiting breakfast he

overheard the gardener being or-dered to chop down a stately oak because it obstructed the view from a new portico. Washington interceded for the tree, it was spared, at his request and has ever since borne his name. I am told that this incident inspired the poem, Woodsman, Spare That Tree.

Trees, yes, God made them, He planted them first in the gar-den. Trees for land-marks, for head-stones where loved ones rest. Trees for wind breaks, to save the land from washouts and dust storms.

Trees, the first shelter of-man-kind, beautiful, majestic, ador-able trees.

The Lord's Supper is a memor-ial instituted in commemoration of the Lord's death, which sacra-ment partaken of by the believ-er allows him to enter into spir-itual fellowship with the suffer-ing of Jesus the Christ. It . will be observed in Community Church this next Sunday.

Since in our church commun-ion now occurs only once quarter-ly, and, since it is one of the last requests of Jesus that we do this in remembrance of Him, all who are m e m b e r s of the body of C h r i s t in the b r a n c h of his service known as Com-munity Church should be pres-ent on this date, Sunday, 10:45 A. M., October 1st, 1939.

Last week on Wednesay eve-ning Rev. Ilulme started t h e study of the Book of Matthew. Discussing Matthew as a person, he also brought out the more im-portant points in the first four chapters of the Book. This week discussion will center on the ser-mon on the mount. Next Wed-nesday's study will probably be a continuation of this week's lesson.

Mr. and Mrs. Church member and friends: You should support this mid-week Bible study and prayer service by your attendance, for in so doing you wiir encourage and hold up the hands of our good minister; besides this, you will receive much spiritual benefit, also knowledge of the "Way, the Truth and the Life."

K I N D N E S S Rev. Hulme spoke last Sunday

morning on kindness. He took his text from Ephesians 4:32 using also other scriptures to illustrate. Thus:

1. The Kindness That Forgives. And be ye kind one to another,

tenderhearted, forgiving one an-other, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

2. The Kindness That Helps. I have shewed you all things

how that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remem-ber the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed

give than to receive. Ac. 20. 35.

As we have therefore opportun-:ty, let us do good unto all men. Ga. 6. 10.

3. Burden-Bearing Kindness. Brethren, if a man be overtaken
