Sunday School Lesson November 30. Lesson I1X--Zacchaeus : the Publican (A Business Man Con- verted) Luke 19: 1.10. Golden Text--The Bon of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.--Luke 19: 10. ANALYSIS 1. JESUS ON THE ROAD, vs. 1-4. x II, JESUS THE GUEST, vs, 5-10. INTRODUCTION- --Jesus and his dis- ciples were going up to Jerusalem for the last time. He was calmly and courageously facing what he mow knew to be unavoidable--the deadly hostility of the Jewish rulers and their purpose to destroy him, Luke 18: 81- 34. Nevertheless, he was not so pre- occupied with his own enterprise and its. dangers as to be insensible to the needs of those about him. Here, as always during his ministry, human affliction appealed to him, He could not pass by unheard the cry of the blind man, "Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me." Nor could he pass unnoticed the chief publican driven by a still greater reed which his wealth could not supply to seek a vantage oint from which he 'could see the Taster of whom he had heard. "ry The sub-heading of our lesson, Business 1 Converted," may pos- gibly convey a wrong impression, sug- gesting that Z w@eus is a typical business man, or that a man so en- gaged is a sinner. No doubt the busi- ness man needs the transforming and renewing grace of Christ as much as any other, but he is not exceptional. Jesus finds the lost whoa he has come to seek in every rank and circumstance of life, in the self-righteous Pharisee, the rich ruler, the Galilean fisherman, the brother and sisters of Bethany, the lawyer tempting him with hard questions. There is, one may well be- lieve, as much integrity and honor 'n business as in any other walk or oc- cupation. I. JESUS ON THE ROAD, vs. 1-4. "And he entered and was passing through Jericho." Here at Jericho in the Jordan valley, about five miles west of the river, three roads meet two from the east Jordan country and one from the north, Other roads lead westward into the villages of Ephraim By one of these ples came from the Jesus and his d north or east on thor way to Jeru- salem, having probably joined a com: pany of piloyims from Galilee going to the celebration of the feast of the Passover. 1+ cther incidents of this journ ee Luke 17: 11-18, 43; Mark 10: 2- Matthew 19: 3 to 20; 34. See also Luke 19: 11-28. The publican or tax-gatherer was not held in high esteem by the Jewish people. He gathered taxes for the Roman government which they de- tested. No doubt he had opportunities of extortion which he may have used, or may have been suspected of using, - for his own enrichment. A rich and fertile district like that about Jericho would oer many temptations. But there was something in the heart of Zachagus which his wealth did not satisfy. "He sought to see Jesus, who he ' and in seeking he founi a great Friend and Saviour. II. JESUS THE GUEST, vs, 5-10. It is quite evident that Zacchaeus, the public, was honored, and felt him- sclf to be honored, by the announce- ment of Jesus, "Today I must abide at thy house." He must have felt the contempt and hatred of his neighbors who regarded him as a sinner against God and against his own people, And row, to his great surprise, he has been chosen out of the crowd for this signal honor. A great Jewish teacher of whom he has heard so much that is good will enter his house as his guest, No wonder. that "he received him joyfully." The coming in of Jesus as his guest, in contrast with the mur- nwring of the ciowd, must have touch- ed him deeply and must have stirred his conscience to awakening, &s no con- tempt or censure could possibly have g done. One can imagine the scene. Evil f. cannot abide in that gracious presence, % Jesus speaks no word of condemna- tion, but his very entrance is a judg- ment, Zacchzeus stoed and made con- fession and promise of restitution. j Not until he had done that could he be > A the perfect host to his divine gifest. 2 + + Thus Edersheim writes of what hap- pened: "In that moment, Zacchmus saw it all: what his past had been, what his present was, what his future must be. Standing forth, not so much before the crowd as before the Lord, and not ashamed, nay, scarcely con- joy of the present--Zacchous vowed - Left to right: Mrs. Ruth, Dorothy, adoption of the two girls, nine, and Julie, 14, and Babe Ruth, » who becomes legal father by order of so much is the sorrow of the past inl true repentance swallowed up by the fourfold restoration of what had be- come his through false accusation, as well as the half of all his goods to the poor. And so the whole current of his life had been turned in those few mo- ments through his joyous reception of Christ, the Saviour of sinners; and Zacehzus, the public robber, the rich chief of the publicans, had become an almsgiver." That which Jesus came to do, "to seek and to save that which was lost," is what those who profess to be his followers must endeavor to do today, and it can best be done by friendliness. The open door, the.offered hand, the kindly remembrance, the friendly visit, will win where cold condemnation and harsh censure fail. Jesus' way with such a man as the publican is still the best way. Bisnis Invisible Genes Govern Heredity, Says Scientist Pasadena, Calif.--An elementary, sexless and little understood sort of reproduction is involved in the multi plication of genes, those invisible particles' which are the active con- stituent of chromosomes and which govern hereditary development. Describing what is believed to take place, Dr. Calvin B, Bridges, of the California Institute of Technology, says: The synthesis of daughter genes utilizes materials abstracted from the surrounding fluids. It is self-gov- erned, occurring at 'and only at tha site of the original, or parental gene of each specific kind. "This growth is controlled by the genes in the chromosomes, thereby producing fingers on the hand, golden hair and blue-eyes, as well as every other character in its proper place.' Egg Laying Contest The Saskatoon Poultry Association has organized an egg laying contest, beginning November 1st to run for a year on similar lines to that of the Dominion Government. The object is to secure for members of the Asso- siation trap nest records of individual birds for the twelve months which will furnish valuable data to those who are desirous of increasing the egg-laying propensities of their flocks, but who have not time nor facilities for conducting their own tests. The aim of the Association i8 to encourage the breeding of true-to-type birds that will lay a protfiable number of eggs of good size and color. eee} ese "Any one could tell by looking at you that your parents came from Ire- land." "My parents did not come from Ireland," said Pat. "Come on, don't try to fool me; your face shows your parents came from Ireland." "They did not," said Pat.

Proudly you gathered, rank on rank, to war, As who had heard God's message from afar; All you had hoped for, all you had, you gave To save mankind--yourselves you scorned to save, Splendid you passed, the great sur- render made, ° Into the light that nevermore shall fade; Deep your contentment in that blest abode, .

Like some bright star above the dark abyss; Still, through the veil, the Victor's pitying eyes : Look down to bless our lesser Cal varies. | These were His servants In His steps they trod, Following through death the martyred Son of God; Victor he rose; victorious too shall rise They who have drunk His cup of sacrifice.

B. S.'s Nephew and Name- sake, a Doctor, Also Writes Plays. London.--There is another Bernard Shaw writing plays in England and, strangely enough, he is a nephew of G. B. S. He is Dr. Bernard Shaw, assistant pathologist at a Newcastle infirmary, who has been writing some short plays for the students at Arm- strong College which are said to have been regarded very highly by the Mae- dona Players. This company gives a season of the better known Shaw plays at the Court Theatre here recently. Dr. Shaw was not christened after his uncle, for Bernard, he says, is a family name. Like a cousin of Mr. Shaw's, who lives in Chipstead, Sur- rey, he has not kept in touch with G. B. S., who seems to have little use for family relations. In spite of his reputation as an amateur dramatist, Dr. Bernard Shaw i. by no means an amateur pathologist and his talents in the theatre are not expectéd to lead him into serious com- petition with his uncle.

Excerpts from a survey of the hospital field are quoted heres "Motion pictures have been used as aids to instructing nurses and abten- dants in hospital work for the past decade in various parts of the world: One hospital, the Serfimerlasarettet, in Stockholm, has used films for medi- cal instruction for fifteen years. But with the advent of the talking picture the applications of the talking screen to medical and scientific advancement are increased a hundredfold. The hos- pital field has been awaiting the de- velopment of a portable motion picture sound projector, ready to plug inte the electric light socket, and to be wheeled from room to room as re- quired.

The Magna Charta of the Canadian Indians is the Proclamation of 1763 which set forth that no. Indian could be dispossessed : of his lands without his consent and \ the consent of the Crown. The rea z bson of Canada's success In the man- agement of Indians is bhsed on that 'broad principle.
