mrg- sunday school lesson february 16 lesson vii jesus heal- of jesns bitterly attacking him for this breaking of the eoc j custom of his nation to eat with outcasts was an unheardof indignity v 12 jesus defends his liberal treatment of this clas with an apjjeal to the example of a physician it is a professional defence a doctor does ing and helping matthew 9 113 not go to people who are hi sound golden text himself took our in- 1 wh ts no firmitleb and bare our sickness- those only ml take hisvce mtk a who are out of health and who feel mattnew 8 17 iher need of a cqre is w als0 with jesus these pharisees think that they are morally nd spiritujy whole they do not reed any one to help them therefore jesus must go to those who will appreciate the bless ings which he has to give v 13 jesus further defends him self by reminding them of the scrip ture which shows that god looks not for mere ritual service but for mercy and goodness the first of all laws is tho law of love and these poor neg lected sinners are they not most in need of love to he kind is to win the divine favor analysis i the healinc of the man with paralysis ch 0 18 ii the all op matthew cv 9 913 introduction the method adopt ed in matthew is that of grouping the materials presented to the readers so a- to sot forth the greatness of the power and personality of jesus after the sermon on the mount we come to the different stories of ths remark able works of jesus revealing his compassion and authority i the healing of the man with paralysis ch 9 18 v 1 another of the journeys which jesus had made through galilee s over and he returns to capernaum which had been his headquarters lit wishes to find time for rest and for tho instruction of his disciples but the report soon goes abroad that he is back and there is greater oigerness to see and hear him v 2 the faith which is here men tioned can be better understood by teading tho narrative in mar 2 11 12 and luke 5 1820 several 01 the sick mans friends hrd determined to bring him to this new healer and vn the crowd was so great that they could not enter they had gone to the roof of the house and let down the bed in front of jesus this effort was the result of their firm faith that if jesus could only meet their friend all would be well faith is trusting the goodness and powar of christ jesus looks upon this sick man and tolls him not to be afraid sinse his sins are forgiven this was hardly the treatment that was expected since to all outward appeal ance thu trouble was in the bo3y however jesus had looked deeper and he saw that the man was troubled abiut his soul and that the burden of his sins was rest ing heavily upon him his conscience had been stirred and tho longing for a better life had been started how could there be any peace as long as this inner struggle with si was con tinuing forgiveness and the assur ance of the divine love were what the poor man really needed aid so jesus gives him this greatest of all blessings v 3 but jesus has his foes who are ever on the watch and they now heap scorn upon his wrds they evi dently suggest that it is a simple thing to tell a man that his iins are forgiven since no one can test its truthfuhess there is no change in the body to indicate that a change has taken place besides that it is they say the special privilege of god to forgive sin and it is therefore blas phemy for a man to assume this power v 5 jesus reads their sceptical and critical thoughts and wishes to make everything clear he asks them whe ther it is easier to say thy sins be forgiven thee or to say arise and walk of course it is easier to say thy sins he forgiven since none can tell whether it is fulfilled or not but if one says rise and walk then unless the patient does this the heal ers reputation is gone v 6 jesus vorks the miracle on the mans body in order to convince them that his claim over the spiritual na ture is valid one who can heal thus wonderfully must have been authority to forgive sins v 7 we do not wonder that the people were greatly astonished but probably they did not realize that the greatest object which jesus had in view was to give this man not only a healthy body but also a pure heart ii the call of matthew ch 9 913 v 9 this is the call of the man whose name is associated with this gospel and it shows how unconven tional were many of tho methods of jesus matthew belonged to a very unpopular c of people the tax- gatherer is never very much liked out in palestine at this period the burden of taxes was very heavy and the common people were oppressed by grievous exactions it is no wonder that the publican or taxgatherers were a marked class and that they were ruled out of most respectable so ciety the publicans were associated with tho sinners see matt 11 19 luko 15 1 when jesus proposed to select one out of this despised folk for his intimate friend it called forth the scorn and contempt among the reli gious classes v 11 it would seem straige to us if uninvited guests were to enter the house of another man and talk fa miliarly with those who are present but this was quite common in the east the pharisees evidently came in and began to converse with the

also keep the race from overcrowding and starvation dr james lave- in london chronicle a prediction that science will save the world from war and its future in habitants from starvation was made by dr robert a millikan world- famed physicist who it will be re membered is a former nobel prize winner in his presidential address before the american association for the advancement of science only a short cabled account was sent to this country and we quote therefore the speech as i appears in the new york times speaking on the alleged sins of science dr millikan took up one by one the outstanding accusations against scientific research and to each of them on behalf of science pleaded not guilty he denied that science is materialistic to the charge that science has multiplied the tools of destiuction that she has made war more deadly more horible and less heroic than it used to be dr millikan replied that every scientific advance finds ten times as many new peaceful and con structive uses as it finds destructive ones explosives and fertilizers are basically tho same and even explo sives find a dozen peaceful uses to one warlike one he said public thinking is misled by the fact that a horror makes better news than a wheat crop one man blown pain lessly to atoms gets more news space than a thousand men dying by inches from disease peaceful arts exceed warlike steel does indeed make bayonets hut it also makes plowshares and railroads and automobiles and sewing machines and threshers and a thous and other things whose uses consti tute the strongest existing dlvertef of human energies from the destruc tive to the peaceful arts in my judgment war is now in procese of being abolished chiefly by this relentless advance of science its most powerful enemy it has existed in spite of religion and in spite of philosophy and in spite of social ethics and in epite ot the golden rule since the days of the cave man because in accordance with the evo lutionary philosophy of modern science and simply because it has had survival value it will disappear like the dino saur when and only when the condi tions which have given it survival value have disappeared and those conditions are disappearing now primarily because of changes iu the world situation being brought about by the growth of modern science to the charge against science that she has deadened and routinized la bor and taken away the joy of crafts manship dr millikan replied science has freed man a superficial glance at mr fords factory might seem to justify it but to the man who can see beyond his nose it is a different picture that un folds itself as i read history the machine age has actually freed educated and inspired mankind not enslaved it routine labor plays a part in all our lives and an attractive part too if it is not overdone and if there is leisure for something else even the few routine men who feed the machines in mr fords fac tory are less routinized and have shorter hours by far than the dumb agricultural drudge who hoed pota toes for twelve hours a day through all tho history of the world before the machine age appeared looked at in the large i do not think there can be the slightest ques tion that the only hope this world has of maintaining in the future a suitable balance between population and food supply is found in science that in the last analysis is man kinds greatest problem its solution alone and there are the best reasons for believing that in the long run it can be solved is sufficient to warrant the fullest stimulation of both the biological and the physical sciences that can in any way be brought about subatomic forces denied the charge that science is giving children matches to play with by pre paring to tap enormous stores ot subatomic energy which weak ignor ant confused sometimes visious man has not the moral qualities to control and direct to useful ends a charge as he admitted made by scientists themselves was declared by dr mil likan to be without foundation science regards it as her chief function to deter men from over- hasty conclusions though she does not always succeed even with her de votees her influence nevertheless is always to constrain men to replace panicky emotional acting by reflec tive informed rational acting the great world explosions including the world war have beon mental not physical she would ask yon then to withhold your judgment until all the available evidence is in now the new evidence born of new scientific students is to the ef fect that it is highly improbable that there is any appreciable amount of available subatomic energy for man to tap anyway in other words that henceforth men who are living in fear lest some bad boy among the scient ists may some day touch off the fuse and blow this comfortable earth of ours to stardust may go home anl henceforth sleep in peace with the consciousness that the creator has put some foolproof elements into his handiwork and that man is powerless to do it any titanic physical damage anyway regrets craze for the new dr milikan admitted that there is however one regrettable tendency in modern life for which science is probably to some extent at least re sponsible i refer to the craze for the new regardless of the true to the demand for change for the sake of change re gardless of consequences to the pre sentday widespread worship of the bizarre to the cheap extravagance and sensationalism that surround us on every side as evidenced by our newspapers our magazines our nov els our drama our art in many of its forms our advertising and even our education v regarding these as transient ac companiments of the stupendous rate of change that modern science and its applications have forced on mod ern life and believing that what he termed the present spirit of revolt is in part an inevitable reflex of the rapid changes taking place in our times because of the rapid growth of science dr millikan said he was not greatly disturbed by this tho actual method by which science makes its changes is becom ing better understood he said the demand for the aner popu lar books upon it is continually in creasing the remedy is in part nt least in understanding it better as soon s the public learns as it is slowly learning that science uni versally recognized as the basis of our civilizaztion knows no such thing as change for the sake of change ss soon as the public learns that the method of science is not to discard the past but always to build upon it as soon as it discovers that in science truth once discovered always romaine truth in a word that evolution growth not revolution is its method it will i hope begin to banish its craze for the sensational for the new regardless of the true and thereby atone for one of the sins into which the very rapid growth of science may have tempted it ter heat up again in readiness to serve and add some chopped parsley before serving celery soup required one good hcal of celery only use the outer sticks keeping the heart for tablo uso with cheese three small onions chopped up fine about a teacupful of cold potatoes one pint oftnilk and one pint of water boil the potatoes and celery till tender enough to put through a sieve add some celery salt pepper and about a teaspoonful ot sugar when you add the milk potato soup required six onions six large po tatoes one pint of milk one pint of water cut the onions and potatoes into slices and boil together until they are wel pulped so that they are tender enough to put through a sieve add the pint of milk just before they are put through the sieve then sea son with parsley pepper salt and sugar last of all as an admirable supper dish or nightcap on a cold winters night comes the onion soup for this boil your onions in salted water strain and cut up savo half the water they have been boiled in add as much milk again thicken with a dessertspoonful of cornflour and a knob of butter season with pepper and salt to taste and serve piping hot to prepare crumpets there are two essentials to observe one is that the buttering must be done before heating and the other that while they are getting hot in the oven tliey must be completely cover ed so that none of their own steam can escape never toast crumpets place them in little piies of three or four with the allowance of butter on each one upon large buttered sauc ers cover with greaseproof paper and put other saucers on the top of each pile the moisture thus kept in will keep them soft and the butter will soak in evenly try turpentine a little turpentine mixed with whitening will remove dirt and grease from marble allow the paste to re main on the marble for a few min utes then wash off with a warm soapy lather rinse with clear cold water a few drops of turpentine added to the rinsing water when washing china or glass will give it a brilliant polish black stockings will not lose any of their color in the wash if they are allowed to snk for several hours in warm water tj which a little turpen tine has been added a useful polisher get an old broom cut away any hairs that may remain and bind sev eral pieces of old cloth round the broom head finally finish with a covering of old soft velvet and fasten into place with headed nails this saves you a lot of back aching moments cooking cakes when cooking small buns or
