Ellis: SR stm w ® Paris, Jan. War is runing a sharp ling be- tween the big and the little, the doers and the critics, the conventional and! the daring. Some persons--even generals and diplomats and other gov- ernment officials among thgm--have proved 'too small to rise to' the heights of this new. day. They are the slaves of precedent and conven- tionality, There is more red tape than red blood about them. Even with the world afire, théy have eyes for the propricties and usages of an- other day. These quibbling minds have cost the world dear ; It is dn old old principle bv which they stand condemned Jesus, hime self dealt sharply with this sort of two-by-four saint when they began to raise their quippling shop talk in a great human crisis. A man was seek- mg life, and getting it: but the scribes objected to both the manner of receiving and bestowing it. Doubt- less if those scribes were alive to-day they would want to utilize the army camps, for" the preservation of their denominational pecadilloes 'among the troops They still would insist upon all the rules of the book of church discipline being applied: and thiey would continue to judge a man's religion by his' conformity to the rules of the village church. i Two great principle" stand out 1m this Sunday school lesson story. The first is that supreme goals may be gained, in spite of all handicaps, by those determined 16 attain them Nothing can balk a resolute man The second is that -thert, are times when everyday usages, and the small conventions of life, must .give way before a gerat necessity. Smash roofs and break up meetings, if need be. but win to life." As for the petty objectors and Tault-finders, they must be disregirded. \ - The Hope of Man. The story is laid in old Capernanm It was a great day in the life of Jesus. He made His headquarters in a pri vate hotisé, perhaps in the home of Peter, The crowds thropged Him, Not only was the city at. His daor; but the whole countryside from as far away as Jerusaletn had been drawn by the lufe of His wondrous works 'and words, Inside the small house, the people were jammed, hanging on His words. Among them were many sick and crippled, cagér for a sipbgle touch that would mean healing. Calm, compassionate, help- ful, Jesus was the centre of a n¥edy multitude, then, as now, the hope of mag. Fhe figure has neler lost its charm for nannind. Jesus, the healer and the helper, is the fairest picture that the timagination of mortals conceives. Always He was helping, always He was teaching. The hurried, sharried heavy, hungry he fos of to-day find Satisfaction in Him. aes i The Man. Shut Out. ; All over theworld a chorus of "ifs" are arising. © 3-1 could only be of some real hel in the war," sighs the person who is non-available for military, duty. | "I I could only go to the hospitli," says the poor sick man in the remote sural parts. "If 1 could onty go tw Colorado," says the mechahic thréatétied with tubereulo- Gis. © "If 1 could only have a little edpital," says he ambitious young mar, eager to start into business. Ang im the Aramic speech that day|at Cay pernaun, many. were saying, J could only get in and fe could" but took on me" The crowd. was so great that shany werd shut out. Such a slight distance such a small barrier, separated between the man in need arid the Man with health to give. It is a proposition generally sound that if one wants anything in this world badly enough, whether it be an education, or a business, or a quality of character, He gets it if his wishes have will behind them.

As the old proverb says, "Love will find a way." These loyal friends were not daunted by conventidnali< ties. The house was of the kind still typical in Palestine; its flat mud rcof could easily be broken into, and the space between the supporting beams was wide enough to let the tgure of the sick man through. Without hesi- tation they deliberately tore up the carefully laid, watered and rolled mud roof. 'What is a roof when a life is at stake. I'he great are usu- ally unconventional, and these four friends showed evidence of greatness in their. conduct. The Sick Man's Riches. We could wish to know more about this paralytic.

He might nave no goods but the pallet or quilt which constituted his bed, but he was rich in loyal love and devotion of at least four friends. Life has ho greater prize than friendship. The wan who has ome true friend that will stand by him in adversity has made a high and deep success of life. It was really worth while to undergo all the suffering which had been the lot of this poor paralytic, for the sake of knowing that he possessed such friends as these four, And they, noble, loyal, resourceful, have won for themselves 'a place among the immortal characters of history. ~ Their loyalty and faithful ness have spurred friends to greater devotion through all the centuries singe. 5, The Will That Commands Success.

Possibly uncertain of his welcome, the patient was tepderly 1did on the floor at the Masters feet; the staring crowd by this time having caught some what of the Healers interest in the incident. Possibly the man him- self was doubtful as tothe welcome he would receive. The first word that fell upon his car reassured him. for it was the tender greeting, "Son Now; the sick man wanted health, but he needed forgiveness, Jesus said, "Som, thy sins are forgiven thee' He got health--plus. God always gives more than we 'seek. No man asks Him for little without receiving much. .
