Is, "Jesus Driven From Nazareth."--Luke 4:16-30. ' There are to-day men and wo- men in Paris and London and Cairo and Constantinople and Peking and Tokio who are hemeeick for small towns and villages in America. All the pleasures and honors that the world's capitals may afford them are not comparable with the appre- clation of the home-town folks. No other praise is so sweet as that of earliest aseociates. New England is full of public libraries and monu- ments and parks and other memo- rials, established by native sons who won wealth and position in the big world, but at the end coveted most to be remembered in the places of their youth. Longing and loyality for Naza- reth, the town where he had spent his boyhood; the neighborhood of | countless memories; the scene of all his. domestic experiences; the community which he had served as village carpenter; the ome spot where every. house, every tree, every family and every individual was personally known--these were the dures that drew the footsteps of Jesus back to Nazareth. A deep and natural human longing for the friendliness of the folk who knew him best stirred in the heart of the Master. And he recognized the claim upon him which 'these old ties created. Nevertheless, as he crossed the hills that surround the town of Nazareth, all his memories a-quiver, his heart was burdemed with the consciousness that 'No Prophet is acceptable in his own country." It was for this reason a sad journey that Jesus made: and a lesser spirit would have shirked it. No sadder words may be found in the biogra- phy of our Lord than these, which fairly drip agony, - "He came unto his own and his own received him not." Long before the shadow of the cross fell upon him, Jesus was a Man of Sorrows. No time need be spent in charac- terizing the small-town spirit of The Man Who Was Misunderstood. the disdainful Nazarenes who felt that Jesus could not possibly be great, because they had known him when he was a boy. The scene 1s easily pictured: as the old cromles gathered at the kahn, one said, | "Why, he's only a carpenter: The very yoke my oXen are now wear- ing, and the plow they pull, were made by him." 'Yes, and he built the house in which I am living," re- joined another. Bach took up the tale of the ordinariness of Jesus: never for am instant did they real- ime that it was the blind common- placeness of their own spirits that throughout the years had kept them from perceiving the greatness of this young neighbor, whose presence amidst them was to life the name of Nazareth into immortality. Kin to most men, and to all women, was Jesus in the fact that he was misunderstood. Everybody is misunderstood at times; the great are surrounded by a seldom-lifted fog of misconception. Youth and sensitiveness suffer agonies of spirit because nobody seems to un- derstand them. Their comoception of heaven, as they love to sing, is of a place where "Some time we'll understand." This lonely-conledness of Christ never embittered him. Nor did it lead him to ask for special indul- BLACK SILK BROCADE. By WILLIAM T. ELLIS. gence or pity. It is only made him more tender and sympathetic to- ward others: it was the founda- tion of his qualifications as the per- fect Friend. He understands, be- cause he was misunderstood. This cup. of bitterness he drank daily to its dregs throughout his life; the cruel rejection at Nazareth was only one incident of a continuous experience. A Babbath-Koeping Leader. If ever anybody had a right to say, "I'm not going to church to- day; the service is stupid and slow, and the minister hopelessly dry and commonplace," it was the Great 'Teacher himself. He had nothing to learn from the dusty brained rit- | nalists and rabbis of the synago- | gues; -and his exquisite spirituality must fréquently have been wrung by the barrénness of the sefvice. Nevertheless we read in this lesson that church-going was Chiiet's cus- tom on the Sabbath Day. Wherest we pause, to regard our own generation in the light of his practice and teaching. Church at- tendance is on the decline to-day. Sabbath observance is even more so. The Sunday question is a Mving and vital one that is being allowed to go by default. In a recent seven- weeks tour of the American South- west nothing caused me more sur- prise than the complaisant attitude of many ministers and churchmen toward Sebbath-breaking, even when this included clear violation of state laws. Chautauquas put on frankly non-religious programmes of entertainment, with paid admis- sions, on the Lord's Day, and min- isters either stay away, or lend ap- proval by their presence. Dramatic performances, Punch and Judy shows jazs-band concerts, and sim- ilar items in the modern showman- ized Chautauqua are accepted with- out protest. Them preachers won- der why people do not respect the pulpit more! It is high time :that Christian forces were definitely getting to- gether to decide upon some concert- ed platform of understanding end course of action with respect to the Lord's Day. The Puritan Sabbath is gone beyond recall; and few want it back. But is there no alternative that will give this Christian land a proper and reasofiable recoguition of the day that cannot be dropped out of our national lite without grave peril? The subject is to be entered upon without fanaticiem; but with an open-minded desire to find out what is the truly Christian form of Sunday observance. Allens and commercial interests and god- less worldlineas should net be allow- ed to dictate what our national Sabbath is to be. For the vast ma- jority of us want, lke the Master, to follow a Sabbath-keeping cus- tom. Talking To The Times. Sometimes the reader's heart fairly feaps within him at some evidence of the_up-to-dateness Jesus. Thete is nothing in human experience ilke the way this Nasa- reth carpenter leads the van of progress. He was not only bigger than his town and bigger than his times, but he was also bigger than all times. After civilization's ad- vance has reached {ts uttermost point, we find Jesus and his stand- ards still far ahead. During the past twenty-five years the Church has risen to a new plane of understanding of the social mean- fnge of the Gospel: and, lo, with freshiy-opened eyes, we see that the Magna Charta of this modern mes- sage is the address of Jesus in the "The Spirit ot the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He bad sént me to proclaim re- To set at liberty them that are To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." BREAKFAST TRAYS. In big houses, breakfast trays for women guests are usually carried to the bedroom floor by the butler and then handed to the lady's maid, who takes the tray into the room. In small houses they are carried up by the waitress. you hear the synagogue buzz and shuffle at this? Answering the inéredulous and re- sentful looks of the congregation, Jesus huried at them the biting lo- cal proverbs; and, infuriating them still further, he conveyed the ides, by Old. Testament illustrations, that they were less discerning and less worthy than the heathen of old. That raised a riot. The excitable Jews, with execrations and curses, rose up bodily and tried to lynch the radical who had thus steered at their self-sufficency and their com- plete orthodoxy. He had scorned their lttleness and their complac- ency: now they would make him suffer. Old as humanity {is this practice of answering unwelcome truth by violence; if you don't like the sermon, squelch "the preacher. Many a man of God has found the same sort of reception for fearless truth as Jesus met at Nazareth. i little town of Nasareth y fits the story of the attempt to hurl Jesus from the heights of the surrounding cliffs. It is eet in a cup-like valley, and any one of several cliffs may easily have been the Mount of Precipitation. The attempt at mob murder col- lapsed, because there was something in the mein and look of Jesus be- fore which even 'these self-righteous neighbors qualified. He passed through the midst of them a symbol of the eternal might and triumph of righteousness, and went his way, leaving his home town branded as too small to perceived its opportuni- ty. The Christ had come to them, and they refused to recelve him: which is life's supreme failure. SLENDERNESS A FEATURE. Here is a gown that specializes in Slenderness.
