1 PASTOR POINTS TO
OBJECT LESSON IN
T
Speaking Sunday night from the 1
topic. "The Man Who Tried to QuaJi-,
Jy for Two Worlds and Lost Both."
t the Church of the Nazarene, Fred
M. Weatherford, pastor -evangelist,
said In part as follows:
"The history of the life of Balaam
Is brief, as recorded in the 33nd to
the 25th chapters. Inclusive, of the
Book of Numbers.
"This portrayal depicts a man who
made a vain attempt to throttle and
alter God's edict. He tried to make
of himself a hall fellow well met and
vsold his standing for worldly gtn at
w-the sacrifice of his favor with God.
1 'Balak sought him. as a prophet of
God, to curse the Invasion of the
Israelites. In communication with
the Lord. Bp-Is am received definite
Instruction to aay 'No to Balak'a
embassy, who had been dispatched to
confer with him. Accordingly, hi
reply to them was negative. On
learning this Balak sent a more
honorable and princely delegation to
Balaam in an effor to gain his con
sent. Balaam said 'No," to them
again but he weakened In his reply
by saying If you will stay over
night, I will consult the Lord further
about the matter.'
"A further consultation, on his
part would be presumptuous. He
had received definite Instruction to
not go. It is the height of folly to
. ask the Lord If you may do some
thing which involves wrong. Yet, to
suit one's own notion, many have
erroneously declared that they preyed
through on a proposition which the
word of God would forbid. It la fu
tile to bolster up a defense for one's
, actions that are Incompatible with
the word of pod.
"Balaam finally yielded to the
temptation for a mint of gold, but
the dumb ass on which he traveled
was quicker to sense the hand of
divine intervention than himself.
When one side-steps the will of God.
he becomes both spiritually blind
and deaf. The dumb ass could see
the angel, sent to hedge up the way,
but not until God used the ase to
peak his Message did Balaam real
ise the message and messenger of
God.
"Balaam waa attempting to blame
the ass as the cause of his trouble,
whereas the true picture revest the
fact that he had made an ass of
himself.
'To some, there Is a difficulty
about the dumb ass rebuking the
perverse prophet, but a more mys
terious thing, to me, than that an
as should speak, l that a man
should forget God. That a man
should be so stupid, neglectful and
willfully disobedient to the claims of
Christ In the interest of his eternal
welfare Is more shockingly myste
rious and unbelievable than though
x all the beasts of the field open their
U mouths to talk. That a man should
Insult the law of God by doing un
' righteously Is the sum total of all
dumbness."

Palie" seems to be the main word
in French these daysl
The French II classes, under the
Instruction of WUna Klncald, have
taken up the task of translating the
various pear wrappers and preparing
posters on the Medford pear Industry.
It Is Interesting to note that prac
tically all of the pear wrappers from
this section of the country have
some French word on them.
The fact that originally all of the
pear stock and many of the names of
the different types of pear came
from France, and that we export so
many boxes to France makes this
study very Interesting. The various
local packing houses have contrib
uted booklet and wrappers on this
subject for French students, The
poster, arranged by Helen Chlrgwln
and Caroline Cooke, and translations
are on display In the French rooms.
