Statistics show there <has been a general trend increase of about ten per cent in the annual number of fires, but they also show that over this period the size of the average fire has been reduced by oneâ€"half. Increased travel to forested regions in recent years, made possible by motor cars, has been largely responsible for the greater number of fires, and the reduction in the size of the fires has been brought about by the steadily increasing efficiency of the protective agencies.

It dealt with her ay an individual personality. The other feature of our Lord‘s compassion is Christ‘s Compassion There are two features of the compassion of Christ that stand out very clearly in this story. First it was in individual compassion. It singled out the woman from the his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. 13. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her,and said unto her, Weep not. The faith of this man delighted the heart of the Son of man with a rare joy. He pointed it out to the crowd. He dwelt tpon it. He compared it with such faith as he had already met with, and he gave it the palm. Then without a word more about the disease of the boy, without a step nearer the house, the cure was done. Almost all who came to Jesus for cures thought it needful to bring the sufferer into his presence, or to have Christ come and stand over the bed and touch and speak and heal. This man‘s faith rose at one bound above all these restrictions. Raised From the Dead 11. And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great multitude. In this first year of his ministry, before the deadly opposition to him had gathered head, while as yet the Pharisees and leaders had not come to an open rupture with him, and he had not sifted his followâ€" ers by "hard sayings," our Lord was usually accompanied by adorâ€" ing crowds. 12, Now when he drow near to the gate of the city, beâ€" bold, there was carried out one that was dead, the only son of "Just as I am," said the centurâ€" ion, "under authority and in authâ€" ority, so art thou under authority «nd in authority. I am not sufficâ€" ient," he said, "to entertain thee" and yet he knew that Jesus was a Galilean, a peasant. What a vision the centurion had of the glories of Christ! He recognized that with the authority of God, Jesus was completely in authority over all the things of life. Such Great Faith 9. And when Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned and said unto the multitude that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 10. And they that were sent, reâ€" turning to the house, found the servant whole. 8. For I also am a man set under authority, having under myself solâ€" diers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 7. Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be healed. In . Matthew‘s account we are told that the particular disease with which this servant was grievâ€" ously suffering was palsy, which may be perhaps likened to what we call inflammatory rheumstism. The Worthy Centurion 6. And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my» roof: 5. For he loveth our nation, and himself built us our synagogue, 3. And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save his servant. 4. And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, sayâ€" ing, He is worthy that thou shouldâ€" est do this for him; Two Revelations Luke 7: 2. And a certain centurâ€" ion‘s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick and at the point of death. near the shores of the Dead Sea, though Christ‘s discourse about John the Baptist, and the events which immediately followed, are to be located somewhere in Galilee. In this lesson we should discover one of the great fundamental charâ€" acteristics of the entire ministry of the Lord Jesus on earthâ€"living for others. Here we have the Lord bringing blessing to the home of a centurion, to a humble servant, to a widow who had lost her son, exercising tenderness toward the one who had baptized Christ and first proclaimed him the Savior, having infinite compassion on an unchaste woman who was despisâ€" ed by all those of the community, and then showing infinite patience with his own §Iow-to-uh&éi'-§t:;1;é disciples.

Whenever our Lord performed a miracle, or in any particular way manifested his compassion for this: immediately it went forth in action. 14. And he came nigh and touched the bier: and the bearers stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. Three times our Lord raised people from the dead, and every time heâ€"did it in exactly the same way, talking to the dead as if they could hear him, 15.
