ance.

Sinner.

Forgives.

IC—Jesus Shows His Sympathy and
Power.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP-
IC—Jesus' Power to Make Whole.
I. Jesus Preaching the Word (w
1, 2).
1. The surging crowd (v. 2).
So great was the crowd gathered
about the house where Jesus was stop-
ping, that there was no room to re-
ceived them. As soon as It was noised
about that Jesus was In the house, the
multitudes gathered.
2. What Jesus preached unto them
(v. 2).
He preached unto them the Word
of God. He always preached the
Word before He wrought miracles, for
to make known the will of God waa
His supreme mission. Miracles were
not an end in themseives, but to au-
thenticate Ilis work. The people
came, some to be healed, and some
out of curiosity. He gave them that
which they needed, regardless of the
motive which actuated thfrir coming,
II. Jesus Forgiving Sins (vv. 3-5)
The man brought to Him was suf-
fering from the dread disease of pal-
sy, but his most deadly affliction wag
that of sin. This miracle was wrought
by Jesus in confirmation of His mes-
sage.
1. Faith coming to Jesus (▼. 3).
The actuating Impulse of the pal-
sled man and the four friends who
carried him was faitli.
2. Faith overcoming difficulties
(v. 4).
Though prevented Dy the crowd
from coming to Jesus, they ascended
the outer stairway and let the af-
flicted man down through the roof,
3. Faith rewarded (v. 5).
No word was uttered either by the
paralytic or his bearers. Their ac-
tion was enough. The paralytic got
more than he expected. He desired
healing of the body and he got bodily
healing plus forgiveness of sins.
III. Jesus Answering the Scrlbea
(vv. 6-10).
1. Their objections (vv. 6, 7). They
asked:
(1) Why does He thus speak? (2)
Who can forgive sin?
They were entirely right In their
reasonings that only God can forgive
sins. Their blunder was In not per-
ceiving Him to be God.
2. Jesus' answer (vv. 8-10).
He knew their Inner thoughts and
reasonings and manifested unto them
His essential deity In that He had
power to know their thoughts. He in-
quired, "Which is easier to say, thy
sins be forgiven thee, or to say, arise
and take up thy bed and walk? But
that ye may know that the Son of man
hath power on earth to forgive sins,
He saith to the' sick of the palsy, 1
say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy
bed, and go thy way into thine house."
He was willing that His power in the
Invisible realm should be tested by
His power in the visible.
IV. Jesus Healing the Paralytic (vv.
11, 12).
1. His healing was by the direct
method—speaking the Word (v. 11).
Christ's words are enough. With the
command was given the strength to
obey. That which Christ commands
He gives the strength to perform.
2. The obedience of the man (v. 12).
| He Immediately arose, took up his
bed and went forth before them all.
The poor helpless man walked away
With his bed upon his shoulder.
3. The people were nmazed, and
glorified God (v. 12). They said, "We
never saw it on this fashion."
V. Jesu* Eating With Publicans
and Sinners (vv. 13-17).
1, The call of Levi (r. 14). Levi
was a tax-gatherer under the Roman
government. As Jesus passed by, He
commanded Levi to leave his business
and follow Him.
2. Jesus dining in Levi's house (v.
15). It seems that Levi, when ha
found the Savior, Invited many of his
losiness associates to eat with him.
Phis gave an opportunity to Jesus
« come Into touch with these sin-
$rs.
8. The perplexed scribes and pharl-
es (v. 18). They asked, "How is It
lat He eateth and drlnketh with
ibllcans and sinners?"
I Jesus' reply (v. 17). "They that
a whole have no need of the physl-
en. I came not to call the righteous^
1) sinners to repentance.",

VEW WHIPPET CAR
A MOTOR MARVEL
One of the sensations in I lie automo-
bile world is the perfected "Whippet"
produced by the Willys-Overland, Inc.,
nnd it is direct evidence that John N.
Willys, president of the corporation,
proposes to make good on his decla-
ration that "there can be no monopoly
in the llglit cur Held." The perfected
car, and (Ik? price at which It Is
offered, placing it. directly In compe-
tition with the lowest priced cars, has
centered the eyes of the automobile
Industry and the motor car world In
general on the enterprising Toledo
manufacturer. It makes him the first
manufacturer of nutomobiles to enter
the price field heretofore exclusive to
but one light car manufacturer.
The "Whippet," which lms been In
production for more than 18 months,
holds the national fuel economy rec-
ord of 43.28 miles to the gallon In a
test between Los Angeles and New
York City, covering a distance of 8,559
miles, under official observation of the
A. A. A. In a speed test on Rocking-
ham Speedway, Salem, N. H., a
"Whippet" recently attained a speed
of 71.6 miles an hour over a 50-mile
route. This was officially timed.
The same engine that has accom-
plished these records Is the power
plant employed In the perfected
"Whippet," now offered at the lowest
price In the history of Willys-Overland.
The "Whippet" was the first light
car to be equipped with four wheel
brakes, setting a new trend in the
light car field. The braking area of
the "Whippet's" brakes is greater
than any other light car.
Details of the perfected "Whippet"
disclose a wider range of colors, em-
ployment of full crown fenders, a
new endet sun visor that imparts a
smart military effect, and the addition
of automatic windshield cleaner, rear
view mirror, and a combination rear
driving light and stop light. These
additions make the "Whippet" the
most fully equipped light car built in
the four cylinder field.

Various Trades Offer
Occupation to Blind.
Blind men are employed In many
engineering factories. In one German
electrical concern, says the annual
report of the National Institute for
the Blind, more than one hundred
sightless people are employed, while
double that number ure being trained.
Blindness, It is snid. Is no hindrance
to a man looking after two or even
three automatic machines. The aver-
age earning Capacity of u blind oper-
ative in those works Is considered to
be about 80. per cent of that of a
normal-sighted man.
Ninety blind persons employed in
French engineering trades earn about
85 per cent of full wages. A motor
factory In America employs 44 blind
men, who are given the work for
which they seem most competent.

Nature's Economy
Inventions during the next two or
three centuries will, In the opinion of
many experts, probably be in the di-
rection of imitations of the wonderful
economy and the simple, direct meth-
ods of nature. Take the electric eel
as an example. Its electric organ Is
In no sense a storage battery, but a
contrivance by which electric energy
Is liberated at the moment when It is
required. At rest, the organ shows so
small an electromotive force that a
good galvanometer is required to de-
tect It, but a si;«^ n nervous Impulse
from the eel's spinal cord raises a
potential of many volts, with very lit-
tle heat, and so small an expenditure
of matter as to defy the most expert
chemist to weigh it. Fireflies, glow-
worms and many deep sea fishes pro-
duce light without heat, at a cost
which would make the price of a wax
candle an extravagant outlay.
Feet and Talking
It's the fellow who can't talk on his
feet who puts his foot In his mouth
when he tries.—San Francisco Chron-
icle.
Migratory Bird Treaty
A resident of Ohio, who bad previous-
ly raised wild folyl under a federal
permit, but failed to submit the re-
quired report of operations and con-
tinued to make sales and shipments
without renewal of the permit, was
arraigned In Federal court at Toledo,
Ohio, found guilty, and fined $300 and
costs.
To engage In the business of rearing
nnd selling migratory waterfowl, guys

ed Stntes Department of Agriculture,
It Is first necessary to obtain a per-
mit from the secretary of agriculture
and then to comply with all require-
ments of state law.
Thesei requirement® are made under
the migratory bird treaty act regula-
tions to protect and perpetuate migra-
tory species of birds passing eacli
year between the United States and
Canada.

Lets the World Go By
For the seventy-fourth consecutive
season, Mrs. Richaid T. Auchmuty of
New York has arrived at her summer
home, the Dormers, on the Lenox-
Plttsfleld road. She has never owned
an automobile, has no listed tele-
phone, no electric lights, no steam
heat in her villa, nor a radio. She
prefers to drive over the wooded
roads in an open victoria. Glowing
fagots In her fireplaces and kerosene
lamps furnish heat and light. She is
in her ninetieth year.—Boston Globe.

Cure for Optimism

In loose brakes.—San Francisco Cluron-
icle.
Canadian Lakes Beautiful
Among the seven reservations set
aside by tlie government of Canada In
the Hocky mountains there Is none
more beautiful than Waterton Lakes
Natlonul park, which lies on the east-
ern slope of the Rockies where these
mountains approach the Internation-
al boundary. The park forms a rough
square with a long L-shuped section
added to the east, the whole having
an urea of about 220 square miles.
Newest American Sport
Critic-halting1' has become an even
:n atei and more typical American
spr-* than framing prize fights or fix-
lug horse races and championship
taseball games. The man v-lio prac-
tices professional criticism In this
year jf our Lord lives constantly In
a metaphorical gashouse district, his
head and seat in imminent prospect
of bash and boot.—George Jean Na*
than In Vanity Fair.
Profit by Past Errors
The past is gone, and gone forever.
You may learn by your mistakes, but
do not be guilty of the sin of constant-
ly worrying over them. Turn your
face toward the future. Give your
mistakes and blunders a decent burial
in the paPt, and let the memory of
them furnish you with implements of
industry by which you muy operate
the gold mine of future possibilities.-*

Fowls in Biblical Times
Partridges are noted in the Old
Testament. The fatted fowl (1 Kings,
4:23) is interpreted as either goose
or duck. Cocks and hens were brought
from Persia two or three centuries be-
fore Christ. A tomb ut Marissa of
about 200 B. C. lias a good representa-
tion of a crowing cock. Sparrows and
other "twittering birds" were also
used for food.
It doesn't pay to advertise unless
you are able to deliver the goods.
