REFERENCE MATERIAL?Matt. ?:3688; Mark 1:21-46. PRIMARY TOPIC?How a Sick Man M as Brought to Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC?Jesus Healing the Paralytic. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC ?Jesus' Power to Forgive Sin. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC ?Jesus' Ministry to Human Need. Since the topic sets forth Jesus as the Great Physician, it will be better for adult classes, especially, to take the larger text chosen by the copunlttee and note the several outstanding cases of His healing. For some classes it will be better to study the one case of healing, namely, the healing of the paralytic. I. Jesus Healing a Demonlao (4: 81-37). While engaged in teaching In the synagogue He was interrupted by a man who had an unclean spirit. Jesus rebuked the demon and compelled him to come out of the man. This healing shows Jesus not only gracious, but powerful to set free the whole brood of diabolical passions, such as lust, envy, anger and jealousy which rule men. II. Jesus Heals a Woman of a Groat Fever (w. 38:39). Peter's mother-in-law was prostrate with a great fever. They of Peter's household besought Jesus for her. Jesus rebuked the fever and it left her so that she immediately rose and ministered unto them. No earthly physician had ever been known to heal in that way. Divine healing is immediate and complete. We should distinguish between divine healing and faith healing. Faith healing is the result of the action of the mind upon the body and Is measured by the degree of the faith, while divine healing is the a? tion of the power of God upon the diseased one, and is always complete and immediate, because It Is measured by the power of the Healer, God. His fame spread abroad and many sick of divers diseases were brought unto Him and He healed them all, even casting out demons and forbidding them to testify of Him. .III. Jesus Heals a Leper (5:12-16). Leprosy was a most loathsome and lemDie disease. uecause 01 its roue ness one afllleted therewith was an outcast. The disease was incurable by man, therefore the leper was regarded ns hopeless and dead. In response to the leper's earnest request Jesus touched him and bade the leprosy to depart, and immediately he was healed and cleuned. Leprosy Is a type of sin. Jesus has power to heal and cleanse and restore. IV. Jesus Heals a Paralytic (5: 17-26). 1. Watched by the Pharisees and Doctors (v. 1). Jesus' fume spread abroad, and this only Incited jealousy on the part of these men. 2. The Paralytic Brought (vv. IS, 19). This is a line lesson in Christian sendee. They could not heal the man. but could bring him to Jesus, who could heal and restore. They had faith in Jesus to heal him. No effori which is reouired to brine n slnnor t<. Jesus should he regarded as too great. It. The Man's Sins Forgiven (v. iio). Jesus looked back of the palsy to its cause?sin. All disease and death is i lie result of sin. Jesus saw the fa I tli of those not only who brought him. but of the niun himself. 4. The Purpose of Miracles (vv. 111. The-Pharisees accused Christ of blasphemy when He declared the man's sins forgiven. Jesus showed them that hack of the beneficent deed to tinman was the demonstration of II?8 deity. The main purpose in the working of miracles Is the authentication of the divine mission of the one performing them. Tlie Wdi-Ulnw of miracle was to demonstrate His authority to atone for sin and to grant f igivene&s. While the divine power and authority are thus shown, tiie wisdom and love of fJod ure shown in that in nil cases the supernatural work is for the good of the individual. A true miracle is never spectacular. It is not merely a demonstration of I tower, but the working of power for beneficent ends, the good of some one in need. fi. Relative Value of Physical His and Moral and Spiritual Maladies (v. 211). Physical ills are less serious than the sins whleh cause them. In dealing with them we should follow {lie example of Ohrlst and first deal with the cause. Self-Love.

I heard of a boy who was be ing questioned about God. "Tell me where God is," said the ques- j tioner, "and I will give you an orange." "Tell me." said the hoy, "where God is not, and 1 will give you trvo oranges "?Ex. A Short Dialogue "My brother bought a wheel here last week," he says, "and you said if anything broke you would supply a new part." "That's right," says the dealer, "What do you want?" ,"I want two deltoid muscles, a new set of knuckles, and a kneepan." Mother's Helper Mother had a bad headache and had gone upstairs to lie down. The children were in the sitting room talking it over. "1 am sorry for mother." sigh ed Marjory. "So am !," said Teddy. "How sorry arc you?" asked David. "I am so sorry for her that I am going to till the wood box a* full as it will hold and get a loi of kindling and start the fire*lor supper." "Oh," said Marjory, "now I see what you mean. 1 am so sorry that I am uoipg to ask her to let me gi t supper. I can make toast and tea, ami scramble eggs." "I'll help set the table and wipe the dishe-\" said Teddy. So mother got a good rest that helped to drive the headache away. 1 "I don't th?nk that peopl: are ' really sorry for one," said David, "unless they are willing to help." The Game of Alliteration Young folks at a social gathering can find amusement in a game called "alliteration." This game consists in the construet.on cnr? nun ociiiciivcs ui sionvs, | wherein every word begins'with the snme letter In order that there ma> be system in the work, each player should have a separate letter. Pencils and paper are necessary, of course, and the pro ductions ought to be read by one person at the end of the game. Here are some specimen bits: "Alexander's aunt ate an artichoke, and afterwards advised all against artichokes." "When Willie went West, we wondered what we would write." "Daintv deeds dailv dnnr? >r_ 1> delight duiiful daughters." "Each eager enthusiast exults every Easter, eagerly examining each Easter egg." "Busy bees brightly buzz by brilliant bowers, borrowing burdens by burrowing brown bodies below beautiful blossoms" ?Selected. COr?lGMl >. ?r.l|,N ht*lTAH UMiQM I ?

"Why does not one of you speak for all of you as long as you all agree?" "Why not?" said Grandfather Porky Pig. "I'd he a good one to explain." "I'd be a good one." said Grandmother Pork. "I'd he excellent," said Miss Ham. "Oh, I would he fine," said Pinky IMg. "I would he splendid," said Master Pink l'lg.

"Oh," said Brother Bucou, "trust your Brother Bacon to give the best explanation." "Ah." Just like pigs." said Sammy Sausage, "each one wants to be the whole show. Now we'll never get anywhere and I'll never find out anything If you all talk. You all think it is a good Idea for one tp do the explaining but each thinks himself or herself the best one to do this. "Now we've just got to draw for 1L I'll give each of you a little mud pat and the one who draws the mud pat with the stick in it will he the one to do the explaining." So they all drew the mud pats Sammy Sausage made and Brother Bacon won the pat with the stick In It so he began at once to grunt und squeal. "Fine. T.uck was on the right side." The other pigs hegan to grunt and squeal that it would have been better had they been chosen when Sammy Sausage wiggled his crooked tall and said, "Brunt, grunt, this Is the way we decided to do It." * So they all kept quite quiet and Brother Bacon spoke.
