maple tree the hlncs and the flowers the -laay- droning a the beos through hunllt summer hours tho peaceful landscape nil around of atrentn and hill and dell and still at twilight i can hear that faroff clear cow-bell- sunday school lesson the crook of frogs from dlstnril marsh oiv evenings cool and still and every spring- the mournful cries- of loon and whippoorwill the vickie of the little encktr that wound through grass and atone how often- then i watched them slide along their course at home- the wealth of marigolds that made them winding rills of gold and violets sweet that sprinkled banks with blue in days of old fhe giant elm where quiet sheep liy down beneath its shade the flock of boulder where the lambs gambolled and climbed and play ed the clumps of cedars and the springs where icy waters flowed and rail fences where i percbfsdt to dream in days of old the sculptured holes in shining rock by panslfig glacier made and the green bowl beside a tree where oft i idly jnld the little church beside the road where i first learned my texts and opposite the old stone school where smiles and tears were mixed andtherrhirwdtoitinetvetvet moss in dappled sunshine lay twasthere

ffrst that which was far more important than healing for their bodies he gave them the word for their perishing souls jesus could not see a crowd in a syna gogue on the street in the home oratn social gathering without making known to thorn the life- giving joybringing word of god he preached the word and that alone the apostles followed his example acts 6 4 8 23 ii 10 14 25 2 tim 4 2 jonah s 2 so have all the really mighty rfien of god in the churchs history ii jesus forgiving the sinner 35 jesus sermon was interrupted by- a case of dire distress brought to him by four men whose faith and earnestness would hot be stopped from getting into his very pre sence it required four men lo get the one man to christ but it is- worth the most persistent effort nf four men to get one man to jesus and it often requires it they brought the man to jesus because there warcjxq one else who could help and they were confident he could andwould it was necessary to creote an un pleasant disturbance- and to violate the conventionalities to get the man to- jesus but earnest men core more for saving men than they do for preserving ecclesiastical order or decorum they got the man to jesus in a very irregulor woy but tbey got him there jesus wos mightily pleased with their irregu larity and to hove his meetlrfg dis turbed for such a purpose he wos riot concerned about- delivering sermons but saving men they got what they sought their faith wos a faith that could be seen jesus saw their faith true faith always can be seen it materializes in works jao 2 18 nothing is more needed today than a faith that has legs and hands and feet their faith was very simple it was not a metaphysical creed it was simply the absolute confidence that jesus could and would save their friend luke 7 50 8 48 18 41 42 of course that logically involves faith in the proper deity of christ but these men were not theologians and if you had pro- juuinilcd to them the questions about the deity of jesus and the trlhlty they woud have been all at sea but they did believe in jesds with all- their heprta jesus forgave the mans sins before he healed the palsy the need of forgiveness was a sorter and deeper need than the need of hesllna and sin must be gotten rid of before sickness cart if wo would remove misery we mrist- first remove sin thls man knew he- was forgiven be cause jesus hud said so he would
