I LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 5 JESUS THE GREAT PHYSICIAN LESPON TBXT-L.uk? 4:81-44; 5:18-28. GOLDEN TEXT?Himself took our Infirmities, and bar? our sickness.?Matt. 8:17. REFERENCE MATERIAL?Matt. ?:3588; Mark 1:21-46. PRIMARY TOPIC?How a Sick Man Was 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 copimlttee 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. Jwui Healing a Demonlao (4: 81-37). While engaged la teaching la 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 Great Fever (w. 88:89). 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 bodv and Is measured bv the desrree of the faith, while divine healing is the action 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 terrible disease. Because of its foulness one afilicted therewith was an outcast. The disease was incurable by man, therefore the leper was regurded as 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. 18. 19). This is a tine lesson in Christian service. They could not heal the man. but could bring him to Jesus, wlio could heal and restore. They had faith in Jesus to heal hlra. No effort which is required to bring a sinner to Jesus should be regarded as too great. The Man's Sins Forgiven (v. 2t>). Jesus looked back of the palsy to its cause?sin. All disease and death is the result of sin. Jesus saw the faith of those not only who brought lillll hut of the man himself 4. Tho Purpose of Miracles (vv. 21. 221. The-Pharisees accused Christ of blasphemy when He declared the man's sins forgiven. Jesus showed them that back of the beneficent deed to tlemon was the demonstration of 11'9 dclt.v. The main purpose in the work ! ir>g of miracles Is the authentication of the divine mission of the one performing them. The working of the miracle was to demonstrate His authority to atone for sin and to grant f igivcness. While the divine power and authority are tints shown, the wisdom and love of God are shown in that in all cases the supernatural work is for the good of the individual. A true miracle Is never spectacular. It is not merely a demonstration of power, but the working of power for beneficent ends, the good of some one in need. r>. llelntlve Value of Physical Ills and Moral and Spiritual Maladies (v. 211). Physical Ills are less serious than tho sins which cause them. In dealing with them we should follow Mm example of flirlst and first den! with the cnuse. Self-Love.

"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. "I am sorry for mother." sighed Marjory. "So am !," said Teddy. "How sorry are you?" asked David. "I am so sorry for her that I am going to till the wood box as 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, f am so sorry that I am uoipg to ask her to let me get supper. I can make loasi ana lea, and scramble eggs." "I'll help set the table and wipe the dishe-V* said Teddy. So mother got a good rest that helped to drive the headache away. "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 construction of sentences or stones, wherein every word begins with the same letter In order that there ma> he system in the work, purh nluvpr vlinnld lioim <-? en..,. r...w..vr%?<v?

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." "Dainty deeds daily done dear1> delight dutiful daughters." "Each eager enthusiast exults every Easter, eageily examining each Easter egg." "RllSV Iippk Kriotitlu I... Ull/,/.

"True," said Sir Perclval Pork. "Correct," said Sir Benjamin BaOOO. "Quite so," said Brother Bacon. "Well, If only some one would explain," snld Saiumy Sausage. "Why does not one of you speak for all of you as long as you all agree?" "Why not?" snld Grandfather Porky Pig. "I'd be a good one to explain." "I'd be a good one," said Grand* mother Pork.

"I will tell Sammy "Sausage." "I would be the best of all to tell him," said Sir Benjamin Bacon. "Oh," said Brother Bacou, "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 It. 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 and squeal. "Fine. Luck was on the right side." The other pigs began 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 wny we decided to do it." * > So they all kept quite quiet and Brother Bacon spoke.
