JESUS FORGIVIG SIN Golden Text: "The Son of man bath power on earth to forgive sins" -Mark 2: 10. Lesson Passage: Mark 2:1-12. On Hin the Spirit, largely shed, Exeris His sacred flre; Wisaom and mlght, and zeal and love, His boly breasi inspire. He cornes, the broken bearis to bind, The bleedixg souls to cure; And with the treasures of Mis grace 'To enricb the humble poor. How Newrs Spreads, 1, 2 One of the triumphs of modern science is the rapidtity whb whlch news is gathered fromn the four cor- ners of the eartb. Formnerly it was considered a marvel that, ai the breakfast table, the morning news- paper would bring news of events in South America, Russia7 or Japan. j But now the radio gives a news summary of the day before mid- night, and listeners-in have the great events of the world bef ore they go t0 bed. With telegrapb systems and wireless the wbole world is encircied by a news gath- ering agency. In ancient days, though tbis news spreading agency was lacking,. the desire to hear news and to tell news was very strong. Missionaries in the jungles of Af- rica have been surprised ai the ra- pidity with whlcb news could spread, relayed f rom village to village by wprd o! mouth or signaIs. "Grape vine radio" can be marvelously speedy. Wben Jesus entered the village of Capernaum it was noised about thet be was in Peter's bouse, and a great crowd gathered that fllled tbe streets as well as the bouse. The f ame of wbat he had done on a previous visit made ev- jeryone in Capernaum eager 1.0 see and bear bixa again. The Friends, 3 Tbough tbey did not know it the four f riends of the man sick of the palsy gamned immortel f ame wben tbey carried the suffering neighbor up the stairs, dug a bole in the roof, and let the sick man down before Jesus. The names of these fourj men are unknown. Whicb one of tbemn was the leader, wbo suggested tbis unconventionel procedure, their bappiness when their device suc- ceeded-none of the deteils are giv- en but the beauty of their active friendship stands out cleerly. With us relief work is hlghly or- xanized. There is a Medical Healtb Ipitmcer 10 proteci egainsi contagious diseeses and to see that diniking water is pure. District nurses and school nurses are einployed. Hos- pitals are kepi up by public sub- scription. Neighborbood workers prevent overlapping in gifis. Com- munity Federations unite to meke Ione appeal for funds. During years of depression provincial govern- ments and the dominion govern- ment have organized for relief work oxl"a national scale. Churches also bave sblpped caroads of food and clothing. In an emergency this vasi and complicated organization is necessary, but it is essentiel that the spirit of the four friends enter into the administration of relief. Wben people are suffering acutelY from want or sickness, buman friendsblp is as essentiel as direct relief. public loss of eacb sick person, but no one cen estimnate the amount of personal enguisb the sufferer en- dures. Jesus did not regard ibis patient primeriiy f rom a medical point 0f view. "Son, thy sins," these were the startling words which Jesus uttered. The cure of soul was more imperative than the cure of body. He did not leed up to the great announcement, but witb complete confidence asserted, "Son, tby sins be forgiven tbee." How well Jesus knew the bumen1 beert! Spiritual sickness may be m.ore deeply rooted iban physical diseese. Jesus offered forgiveness firsi and beeling second to this man sick wtb the 1Delsy. The Crities, 6, 7 Certain of the scribes were in the audience, anci they "1dialogued in iheir bearts." They tbougbt that il was blaspbemy for Jesus to speek o! forgiveness, and thai be was us- urping the po% er o! God. Jesus who had been so sensitive Wo the need o! the pelsied man was equally sensitive to the adverse mental at- titude of the scribes. The scribes. of course, could neither beal the man nor overcome bis sin wbereas Jesus was able bo do boih. The scribes were more concerned about tbeological niceties than belplng a human sufferer. Il would have been very easy for Jesus to show thai bis critics were powerless 10 belp. AI- ways il is true that criticism is cas- ier than art. Thse Saviour, 8-12 This beeling incident was an in- terlude. Jesus was teacblng in Cepernaum when be was rudely in- terrupied by the sick man beixg let down tbrough the roof and by the opposition o! the scribes. After the incident he went back W ithe seaside and teught. Plainly JesVs attecbed greater inmportance te bis teacblng ministry then bis bealing minlstry, but be was always ready to respond 10 the appeal o! need. Me demon- streted bis power to f orgive souls by bis power 10 restore a palsied man. If be could do the one, it was proof ibai he could do tbe other. Wbicb bas the greeter tesk, the doctor or the minister? Their services bave been divided, tbougb tbey are in reality co-workers a.nd each mey belp tbe other. This incident ixdi- cales thet the cure o! the spiritual maledy may o! ten be necessary as a precursor of the cure o! the physical disease. There are millons o! heeltb seekers. Doctors' offices, bospitals, healing springs are crowdcd. Much fewer in nuxnber are those who are seeking the more radical remedy of f orgiveness for six. Yet ibis is the supreme boon wblcb. Jesus offers. Forgiveness is f ree, and il mey be won by repentance, faitb and a cbenged life. The wtness o! tbis bealed man in Caperneurn wes not se mucb that be had Wo be carried Ix and wes able te walk home, but that a new peece, a lasting loy and 1e permanent love o! goodiness were bis ever a! terward. Questions for Discussion 1. Wbose responsibility would il be to repeir that roof ? 2. Mas religion become too con- veniionel? 3. Wbat are the advantages and disedvantages o! organized relief? 4. Mow do you accouni for Cbrist's unique compassion toward the sick and sinful? The. Patient, 4, 5 Persian Balm-the perfect aid to Littie Is told us about this patient beauty.

Tbey aUl gave testimonies and in addition Ensign Watt favored the meeting witb a fine solo. Col. Dalziel gave a most helpful and inspiring address on "lLove,", taking the text from Gal. 5:22-23, as tbe basis for the theme. He gave many exemples of the power of God's love for manklnd, and tbe mireculous change in the lives of men when they experienced ibis love.
