is heir to, as we see from Ecâ€" clesiastes 8:14; and 9:11, For the Christian it is sometimes for disâ€" cipline or chastening (Hebrews 12:5â€"11). The Lord Jesus is the Great Physician and we are enâ€" titled to come to Him for physical healing, in accordance with His Holy Will. Application Often there are temporal judgâ€" ments which follow one‘s sin, even though the Lord has pardoned the offence. We should never forget we reap what we sow. ‘"Venereal diesase is substantialâ€" ly less than during the World War, with the syphilis rate now the lowâ€" est in army history," the U.S. War Department announces in its latest statement on the health of the Unâ€" ited States Army in training. The Heart of The Lesson In St. John‘s Gospel, we have eight miracles recorded. They are called "signs‘" and we believe are designed to emphasize the divnity of Christ. In the miracle of our lesson today we see Jesus as the One in whom there is fullness of power to deliver from the utter helplessness into which sin plunges its victims, as we see from the warning of the Lord to him, to go, sin" no more lest a worse thing come unto thee." THere are sickâ€" nesses that are the direct result of sin, but it would be a great misâ€" take to suppose that this is always the case. Sickness may be the reâ€" sult of overâ€"strain, as in the case of the man mentioned in (Philippians 2:25â€"30); or take St. Paul‘s physiâ€" cal gilment mentioned in 2nd Corâ€" inthians 12:7.

It was evidently an intermittent spring. This incident occurred at a time that a Jewish feast was being kept at Jerusalem. It seems to come in between the first passover that the Lord kept after His baptism, as mentioned in John 2:13, and that referred to in John 6:4. The time about A.D. 28.

Did you make a note of our Butter Stretcher recipe in the December 31st issue? Perhaps the "Cottar‘s Saturday Night" is his bestâ€"loved poem. Had he written no other poem, it is his biographer‘s opinion, the heartâ€" ful rendering of a good week‘s close in a Godâ€"fearing home, sincerely devout, and yet relieved from all suspicion of sermonizing by its humâ€" ourous touches, would have secured a permanent place in literature. This poem will smell sweet like the actions of the just for generations to come. It was reserved for an Englishman, no less a person than Wilâ€" liam Pitt, to recognize Burns‘ place as a great poet; the more cautious critics of the north were satisfied to endorse him as a rustic prodigy, for which he favoured them with a share of his satire. Burns died in 1796 at the early age of 37, worn out by early povâ€" erty, from which he was never entirely free, and dissipation. Burns contributed about a hundred songs to George Thomson‘s "Select Collection of Original Scottish Airs with Symphonies and Acâ€" companiments for the Pianoforte and Violin: the Poetry by Robert Burns." It is these songs that will ring in the ears of every Scotsman from British Columbia to New Zealand and from John o‘Groats to the Cape of Good Hope on Monday night. Like Chaucer, Burns was a great moralist, though a rough one. He is loyal in his veneration for the cardinal virtuesâ€"Truth, Justice and Charity,â€"and consistent in the warnings to which his experience gives an unhappy force, against transgressions of Temperance, Burns grew up under conditions of harsh poverty and endless toil through a series of migrations from one unfortunate farm to another. At 15 he was the principal labourer on his father‘s farm. From the hard tasks he had to perform, his fiery temperament and a craving in vain for sympathy in a frigid air, grew the strong temptations on which Burns was largely wreckedâ€"the thirst for stimulants and the revolt against restraint which soon made headway and passed all bars, says his biographer, John Nichol. It has been said that "Lowland Scotland as a distinct nationality came in with two warriors and went out with two bards. It came in with William Wallace and Robert Bruce and went with with Robert Burns and Walter Scott. The first two made the history and the last two told the story and sung the song." The "scragmen, one, two and three," are the police on the track of the sheepâ€"stealer who sings the song. The "jolly jumbuck" is the sheep (probably mutton by that time). You‘d think that one stolen sheep from among Australia‘s hundreds of thousands would never be missed, let alone merit so many as three "scragmen‘" to bring the thief to justice. At any rate, we wish he had not drowned himself in the waterâ€"hole, probably the only one for miles and miles, rather than be captured. That‘s why, if you‘re travelling in Australia‘s back country, it‘s just as well to take along a billy can in which to boil your drink. "The poet," says Carlyle, "was fortunate in his fatherâ€"a man of thoughtful intense character, as the best of our peasants are, valuing knowledge, possessing some and openâ€"minded for more, of keen inâ€" sight and devout heart, friendly and fearless." Next Monday, January 25th, Scots the world over will celebrate the birthday of their great national poet. Robert Burns, eldest son (we‘ve heard of but one other, Gilbert) of William Burness, was born in 1759â€"184 years agoâ€"in a cottage about two miles from Ayr. Mr. Eaton remarked that he had been trying, with only partial success, to discover the meaning of this Australian song. The lingo is rather puzzling. An explanation of it was given in the columns of The Independent last summer. This reminds us that back in the early part of the Gay Nineties there was another catchy tune that took the world by storm. Taâ€"raâ€"raâ€" raâ€"boomâ€"deâ€"ay, it was called. Even Queen Victoria fell a victim to its haunting refrain, Everything she did, thought, said or heard, was done, thought, said and heard to the tune of Traâ€"raâ€"raâ€"raâ€"boomâ€"deâ€"ay. Finalâ€" ly, in desperation, the Queen commanded that the "wretched tune" as she termed it, should never again be played or sung within range of the royal ears. This goes for the grocéery stores and the bakery, too, which are always congested in that last desperate halfâ€"hour; See what you can do about it. Ever since last Wednesday night when Gordon Eaton‘s High School Choir sang Waltzing Matilda as one of its choruses at the Red Cross Annual we have lived and worked to the tune of: "And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled, "You‘ll come a ‘waltzing, Matilda, with me.‘" The tune fits exactly to the rhythm of the washing machine motor which makes a very good orchestral background for singing, humming or whistling. ;:;.'IIIHlim|lIIIHHHIlIllIIlIlIlllIIliIlllllHIl!HlllllliIJlIIHIHI!!IHIIIlIlIIIllI!!lIliIIIIIlIIHIIIIIll"lII!lllIIIIIIIlllHIillllIllllllllllllllfll]l!; It‘s maddening to have to stand in line and wait while a leisureâ€" ly housewife chaffers over the Tâ€"bone steak she can‘t have and the neck of lamb she may have, while the seething factory worker behind her, with only an hour to go and come on, wonders if she dare reach over, grab a handful of hamburg and a dill pickle and beat it for home. If it‘s at all possible for you to get down town to do your shopâ€" ping before elevenâ€"thirty in the morning or five in the afternoon, by all means do so. Leave the last halfâ€"hour before noon, and just after the bell rings, and the time between five and six in the afternoon to the men and women workers in factory and office. Many of them have to dash hurriedly into the shop as they leave work and buy something to take home to the family for lunch or for their evening meal. Looking up something in Bartlett‘s Familiar Quotations at the Library the other day, we made a note of this, used as an introduction to the volume: "We have been careful that they that will read may have deâ€" iight, and that they that are desirous to commit to memory might have ease, and that all into those hands it comes might have profit.‘"â€" 2 Mace.
