Lesson
(By E. O. SELLERS. Director of Evening
Department, The Moody Bible Institute,
Chicago.)
LESSON FOR AUG. 25.
THE VI8IT TO NAZARETH.
LE880N TEXT-Luke 4:18-30.
GOLDEN TEXT?"He came unto hla
own, and they that were hla own received
him not"?John 1:11.
Cannon Farrar bas said that this
visit of Jesns to his home In Nazareth
Is "a most striking commentary
upon" the words of John, which form
our Golden Text. Those words are
the epitome of this lesson In a very
real sense. The young prophet had
been proclaimed by his counsln John
the Baptist as be who was to come.
1 He bad performed his early Judean
i ministry, which Includes the visit of
Nlcodemus, and the meeting of the
woman of 8amarla. John had been
shut up In prison and Jesus was about
entering upon that wonderful Oall>
lean ministry.
In this lesson we can see him as he
1 returns to his boyhood home, to those
old and most familiar scenes of his
youth.
i Day of Vengeance.
"As his custom was" (v. 18) he entered
the old familiar synagogue to
nV? nart try (ha trnmhlD. DTalSe and
K?1V r. _
discussion, as had long been his cus>
torn (n this his home town. Here It
was he had learned of the law and the
[ prophets, here he had heard the
prophecies discussed, here he had undoubtedly
participated In the discussions
In the days gone by, for after
h the worehlp he Is asked to conduct the
reading of the second part of the
service, a selection from one of the
prophets, undoubtedly that portion for
3 the regular reading of the day. His
r method of reading was very significant
1 Finding a portion from the prophecy
9 of Isaiah, chapter 61, he reads that
portion as we now have It recorded,
comprising verse one and In verse two
to the first punctuation mark, a comma.
This, said be, Is being fulfilled
r before your eyes, implying that the
concluding portion, that which refers
to "the day of vengeance of our God,*'
Is yet to be fulfilled or performed.
Just what his exposition may hare
' been Luke does not tell us, although
3 he leads us to believe that he made
3 a definite claim of being the Messiah
?"this Scripture hath been fulfilled."
They wondered at his gracious words,
?-v nocnmntinn from the
I LIU I lulu an ,
tongue of this eon of the village car'
penter was more than a challenge; It
( sounded of blasphemy. It Is one thing
r to listen to beautiful platitudes, but
for one to assume authority such as
this at once arouses antagonism,
j To make this still more plain, he
i makes a specific application. To paraphrase
his words, he said, "doubtless
you are 6aylng, young man perform
here In Nazareth some of those mlraj
cles you performed over In Capernaum,
but I say you would not accept
me even then, for no prophet Is acceptable
to his own countrymen." Then
he goes on to Illustrate by an Incident
j from the wife of Elijah, also one from
3 the life of Ellsha. This was too much
] As they listened the tide of their
j wrath had been rising. The plainly
? implied truth of their need of that
? ministry which he alone could give
r and of their leprous condition was too
t much and It broke all bounds. RuBhy
ing him forth from the city they took
j, him to the brow of the precipice upon
.. which the village was situated and
0 were for casting him headlong to his
1 death. They did not, however, know
I who It was that had submitted thus
n far. tils time was not yet. hence he
y manifested the truth of his falling
and of his miraculous power by passing
through their midst and went on
his way, leaving them to their chagrin,
anger and amazement.
Graphlo Lesson Story.
In teaching this lesson we can emphasize
the need and the Importance
of public worship, the observance of a
day set apart for that purpose and
the public reading and exposition of
God's work. We can also lay Btress
_ t? -k?.1 ncn nf
| UPOD jeSUS B Kuumeuga auu u>v
the 8crlptures; also his emphatic approval
of Inspired prophecy as ap;
piled to, and fulfilled In his own life.
In teaching the young scholars these
! truths, the graphic lesson story will
be all and probably more than can
well be covered during the lesson
hour.
For the older scholars, one question
for discussion would be, why does the
Son of God speak of or claim the
"spirit of the Lord upon me?" Of
J course he was anointed after John's
baptism as an example to all his followers,
but here we take It as meaning
that the Spirit Is upon him In a
real manner for service and for power
, In service. He Is to witness and to
1 minister. He Is to teach and to heal.
_ He Is to preach the Gospel to the poor
and deliverance to those bound with
] the chains of ceremonialism and of
sin. He is to heal broken hearts and
diseased bodies, to set the captives
free and heal the bruised ones. Verse
18 Is a sod picture of the state of a
mon u-ithmit outside helD. But Jesus
came Into the world for this express
purpose. John 8:12, 13; Matt. 1:21.
j It has been pointed out that this
anointing was five fold. (1) to proclaim
good tidings to the poor, for the
poor are always special objects of
God's loving care. (2) to proclaim release
to the captives, those In the
captivity of the evil one. (3) "recovering
sight to the blind," physically,
but still more spiritually. (4) to set
at liberty them that are bruised, i. e.,
by Satan, though he cannot bruise this
anointed One; and (5) to proclaim
the acceptable year of God, the time
of redemption, the time of his coming
again.
"This prophecy means me." "Come
unto me." was Indeed a bold proclamation.
Did they believe? Are you
making such-bold claims for your Master
and I.<ord? Some will reject, of
course, but let us remember that "God
glveth the increase," ours truly to witness,
to sow the seed. I. Cor. 3:6.
Why this hostility? (1) Jealousy,
"Joseph's Son." (2) Contempt, was
he not one of them? Was this not
also a slur upon his name? (3) His
allusion to Elijah, going outside of
I Israel for sustenance.
Do not forget the searching fact
that there were those who knew him
best through long association, yet they
I reject him. Our peril Is to know him
: and yet reject his fellowship. Let us
emphasize that verse In John's Gos
pel which follows the Golden Text
(1:12), "But to as many as received
him to them gave he power to become
the Sons of God."
Even the man who Is his own
worst enemy Is always ready to torgive

Child's Fear of the Dark.
If mothers notice that the brains of
their little ones conjure up uncanny I
sights and thoughts from the shadows j
cf a room more or less dark, let the
light burn brightly. To force a child
to become accustomed to the darkness
Is a grave error, If Its nervous system
is so organized that this forcing
?b productive of a fright.
The nervous system or a child is a
very susceptible organization and the
deleterious impressions made upon it
will often make their Influence felt
throughout its whole after life. If the
child asks for a light under such circumstances
do not refuse it.

SAVED M RUIN
Undermining of Winchester Cathedral
Stopped by Cement.
For Many Years tho Historic Building
Has Been Cracking, Bulging and
Settling, Threatening to Collapse
Completely.
London.?After a period of eight
centuries, Winchester cathedral now
rests on a solid and Immovable foun- I
dation, saved from threatened ruin
Almost every day in the last few years
the movements of a diver in regula- j
tion dress have been watched with curious
interest as he entered or emerged
from the water beneath the foundations
of the cathedral. He was at
work helping to save from ruin one of
England's noblest historic buildings,
and the successful issue of the undertaking
has been celebrated by a
thanksgiving service In the cathedral, j
For several years the dean and chapter
of Winchester had been watching
ominous signs, such lb cracks, bulging

the Interior daylight could be seen
through the cracks; the latter grew
ever wider and wider. The walls on
the Bouth Bide and the Norman transepts,
unequaled for their majestic
simplicity, were riven In all directions.
The massive masonry of the Norman
builders had from the beginning
proved too ponderous for the watery,
compressible soil which forms the
foundation.
The first hole dug Into the foundations
revealed the cause of the whole
trouble?water?and acting on expert
advice, holes were dug In sections
through the top soil and chalk and far
through the peat. Then It was the
work of the diver In his usual diving
dross to enter the hole, remove further
layers of peat so as to allow the water
to rlBe Into the cavity, and then to lay
a flooring of cement to prevent the water
from sinking back Into the gravel.
After the Imprisoned water had been
removed by pumping the cavity was
filled up with brickwork In cement.
This extended from the floor laid by

the cathedral, showing like a roof of
rock overhead.
While the work underground was being
carried on, patiently and thoroughly,
seven anxious years, the
cracks in the walls, vaultings and
arches of the fabric were welded by
the injection of liquid Portland cement
from a squirting machine, a process
known as grouting, capable of being
>o manipulated as to All either a shallow
crack or a rent through the thickness
of a massive wall.
Every crevice is now being repaired,
every flaw and displacement remedied,

removed, and the cathedral
seems to stand as solidly as the
strongest building in the kingdom.
MAN'S SIGHT IS RESTORED
Fall Against Door Gives George Morgan
Hope for Complete
Recovery.
Wilmington, Del.?Becoming totally
blind fourteen weeks ago, George
M. Morgan Jr., aged twenty-three
years, 1351 East Thirteenth street, had
his sight restored to him through an
accident. About eleven years ago Morgan
was struck in one eye with a
stone a small boy had thrown at a
freight car. His sight waj badly affected
and last September he went
to St. Joseph's hospital In Baltimore
to have his eye treated. While sitting
In his boarding house fourteen weeks
ago he suddenly became totally blind
without any warning whatever.
He came to this city to visit his
parents on June 29. and he tripped
over a rug and fell, his forehead strlkng
a door-Jamb with much force.
When he arose he found that he could
see the daylight and later developments
showed that he could see better
than before he went to the hospital
last var.
He Intends to return to the hos
pltal to continue the treatment, although
the physicians told him they
did not think he ever would be able
to see again. His mother was at
market at the time of the accident
.nd could not believe her son's glad
declaration when she returned until
he told her the color of her hat and
dress and described other things In
the room.

POPULAR SYMBOL OF VALUE'
Young Man Evidently Was Lacking In
His Appreciation of the Country's
Statesmen.
There is plenty of food for cynical
thoughts in the national capital, as Is
shown by the following incideut which
happened on a Washington street car:
A worldly young man, prone to criticise,
was gazing at the advertisements
which decorate the Interior of
the car. One advertised a new kind
of collar for men. The dome of the
capitol was represented encircled by
one of the collars, and on the senate
and house wings of the building
were placards giving prices and
sizes. The placard on the senate end
of the capitol read, "Quarter size,"
and that on the other end said, "Two
for a quarter."
The worldly cynical young man
turned to his companion.
"That," he remarked, "Just about
expresses my opinion of some of
these here congressmen."?Judge.
Really Had Best of It.
John Burroughs Is well known as
one of the fofemost of nature writers
in this country. Some time ago he
rlBlted his brother, Eden Burroughs,
who lives In the Catskillfl, at a place
called Hobart. The two brothers went
fox hunting together. The honor of
the hunt came to Eden, who shot the
only fox. It so happened that foxskins
were worth five dollars at that
time, and trie successrui ivimroa ioon
much pride In telling how he got the
better of the sago of Slabsldes. Later
In boasting to a few friends about It
In the presence of his brother, John,
he was Interrupted by, "You have
bragged about that fox hunt long
enough. You shot the fox, sold the
skin and got five dollars. I wrote a
little account of the hunt, and got
