Analyze the prayer for a moment. Modern psychology calls upon its dev- qiees to boast of ‘heir strength, but note how humbly th’s prayer acknowl edges the absence of It. Why should not one deal truthfully when counsel ing with God? He 4 s aware of all the Nhicts. No' assertion on our part can alter them. There fs little to be ac complished in attempting to deceive ourselves. Psychology, medical, ad vice and other suggestions had all failed with my young friend; he could not win. But he o-ied out to God, as he worked in the mines, “I have no might against the power of this ene my !” A Helpful Confession. The second clause is equally true, “I know not what to do!” On this occasion, when his foes united to crush him, what could the king do? He called out to God in his extrem ity, “I know not what to do!” Who has not been in this plight? Circum stances have combined to close every avenue of escape. Health has failed. Finances have dwindled. Debts have S ! accumulated. Fears have magnified ! their terrors and foes combined ■ against us to devour. Why not then cry out to God, the great, the tender, the loving God, ‘‘I know not what to do!” The Great Deliverance. Now examine the last clause, “Mine eyes are upon Thqp.” You will no tice that the king had not forgotten the character of God, the value of His work, His promises. His faithful ness and love. He cried out to the God who has said, “Call upon Me in the day of trouble and I will deliver thee, and thoii shall glorify Me.” His eyes were loo^ftig”unto the God of his fathers. They ) had been delivered many times even as be then hoped to be. - What was the result? The Lord comforted the great king and told him to prepare his anthems of praise. He Informed him in this case, it was not to be his battle, but that the Lord would fight for him. The king’s hu mility and prayers were justified in the saving power of the great God. Unheard of Victory. “And when he and ids people came to take the spoil they found among them in abundance riches . . . and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could ‘carry away; and they were three days In taking the spoil it was so muoh.” Apparent defeat and then unheard of victory! The nearness of horrible death and then joyous life. Such were the experiences of a man who had not forgotten to pray in sim ple faith te- his God and Savior. “If the Son therefore shall make ou free, ye shall be free indeed” dim 8:30). 1 stamps • . L.

PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Stills the Storm JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Rules the Storm. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—The Universal Power of Jesus. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Jesus’ Power over Nature and Hur man Life. ll Jesus Calms the Sea (vv. 35-41). L Crossing the sea (vv. 35, 36). Wearied by teaching the. multitudes. He proposed that they take ship at evening time to the other side of the sea, doubtless to escape from the throngs of people. 2. Overtaken by a storm (v. 37). Even though Jesus was In the boat with the disciples they were over taken by a storm. It is not God’s will that we should escape the storms, but those who have Christ on their boat are safe because that boat cannot -go down. 3. Jesus asleep in the storm-tossed boat (v. 38). In the midst of the turbulent ele ments He was resting In sleep. The . day had been a very strenuous one and lie.was weary. He who made the sea could well lie down and sleep, though the storm violently raged. 4. The lerrified disciples (v. 38). In thelr mlhds nothing but disaster and death auhifted them. They were not only terrified, but they chided Jesus for .sleeping while they were in such great danger. 5. Christ’s rebuke (vv. 39, 40). (1) The wind (v. 39). This showed the'' Lord’s mighty power to control' the forces of nature. (2) The disciples (v. 40). ■.•..•.•* He rebuked theim for their lack of faith. He showed ..that they yrere looking upon their circumstances In stead of upon their Lofd. 6. The effect upon the disciples' (v. 41). They were filled with great fear. A little while ago they were afraid in the face of the storm; now they are afraid in the presence of the Lord. II. Jesus Heals the Gadarene De moniac (5:1*20.) ’ ,'*1 After the stilling of the* Cethjekt, Jesuk crossed to the other side of: fete sea Into heathen territory. 1. Met by a demon possessed man (vv. 1-6.) This man was In a desperate con dition. He . was so tierce that no one c-oul^: safely pass that way. He wore no cliithes (Luke 8:27). No chains were str,ng enough to hold him and no one was able to tame' him. in the night time his hideous cries could he heard while he vented his rage by cutting himself with stones. Many today are demon possessed. Much of the insanity of the age is traceable to this cause. As the coming of the Lord draweth nigh these things will increase (I Tfra. 4:1). 2. What the demons knew about Christ C’v. 7-9.) They knew that He was the Son of God and that He had come to de stroy the devil and ais works. Among the demons there is no doubt as to the deity of Christ and the judgment to come, though we have many theolo gians and preachers who say they do not believe it. The devil blinds their eyes so they cannot un lorstand (il Cor. 4:4.) 3. Christ’s power to deliver from the devil (vv. 10-13.)*. He cast out the demons from the man (v. 8). The demons quail be fore Christ, not daring to dispute His power, so they begged to be permitted to enter the swine. As soon as the Lord issued the penftit, they hastened away to hurl the swine to destruc tion. 4. The effect upon the people of the city (vv. 14-17.) The keepers of the swine fled to the city and made report of what had occurred. This miracle brought the people out, but when they real ized the loss of their bogs they be sought Him to leave their coasts. They cared more for their hogs than for Christ and the cure of this man. These Gadarenes have many succes sors today. The man who was healed sent home to testify (vv. 18-20). No doubt it would have been safe and pleasant to abide with Jesus, but his friends needed his testimony. The best witness for Christ is one who has been saved by Him. The best place to begin that testimony is at home where one Is known best. Plum Branch M. E. Charge Beginning first Sunday in Febru ary, the Plum Branch M.
