TEXT—Who did no sin, neither was gruile found In His mouth.—I Peter 2:22. The writings of I he Apostle Peter place before us some of the ideals to be followed i*n Christian living, the ideals with the problem of holiness, the pow er of the Word of God, duties of wives and hus bands, and closes with the exhorta tion to live the victorious life. In the verse above mentioned Peter tells us of Christ He does not mean we are saved by His earthly life but when we have the resurrected Christ in our life, we will live the earthly life of Jesus. I. He is our example in submission to ths will of His Father. In John 4:34 we hear Him say, “My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to finish His work.” This relation to His Father furnishes an interesting study which is indeed profitable. In reading His earthly ministry we see His entire dependence upon the Fa rther. Again in john 5:30 He says, “I can of mine own self do nothing: as I r hear, I judge; and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." The Christian life is not always defeated because of gross sins but by substituting onr own strength for the strength of onr Lord. When will we truly learn that won derful discourse of Jesus recorded In the fifteenth chapter of John and es pecially verse four, where He says, "Abide in poe, and 1 in yon. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself; ex cept it abide In the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.” There fore, we find He is an example to us in sifbmiSstoa to the will of His Father. He becomes pur example in Hfa attitude toward men. Some one lias said, n We can serve God best by serv ing men.” God is concerned about our relation to our fellow men as well as about our prayer. “If: thou bringest thy gift to the alta., and there re- memberest that thy brother hath ought against thee.’* God cannot he- cept the gift until we are first recon ciled to our brother. I fear that many gifts are laid opon the altar that God cannot accept because we do not sus tain the right relationship to our fel low men. Has your .brother ought against you because you have not shown him the. light? Has the ctom- raunity ought 9gainst the church be cause it has not befriraded them In time of sorrow^ and need? In this Jesus becomes the perfect example in relation to men. His attitude toward the rich and the poor,-the learned and unlearned, the Jew and the Gentile was just the same. His physical body was so overpowered with the passion for lost men and women that no 'Sac rifice was tpo great for Him to; take on their behalf. Let us follow His ex ample In this work. Let us withhold nothing from Him but give our^best for the sake of others. When the great General Booth, the founder of the Sal vation Army, desired to send a mes sage to all the adherents of nis prin- (Ciples, he gave them the message, "Others.” The best philosophy of life is to live for somebody else. Jesus practiced it. 3. He becomes an example to us in the spirit in which He labored* The Apostle Paul, writing to the church at Philippi, said, "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” When the mind of the Master becomes the master of our mind, It is then men will be blessed by our deeds and our message. We are called to labor in the spirit of meekness. Jesus said, "For I am meek and lowly In heart.” y He also labored in the spirit of self- denial. This is the word that should be brought into play in onr Christian I • vocabulary, denying ourselves for such things as will strengthen the Kingdom of God and build up the Christian church. The mighty force in the life of Jesus, found ifi the methods of His work, is love. O Love that wilt not let me go, I rest my weary soul in Thee; 1 give Thee back the life I oWe, That in Thin® ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be. In this He has truly become our example. 4. He is our example in relation to His enemies. Christ was not loved by His brethren; He was not loved by the multitude; He was not loved by $ the religious leaders of His day, but was despised and rejected of men. One of the remarkable things about His life was His love and prayer for His enemies. This same love is lack ing many times in the heart of the i Christian. They are praying for vic tory, seeking a piece in the harvest field, endeavoring to exert the right influence in the c nmunity in which they live, and they wonder why they are not making g’-eater progress in the Christian lifo. Perhaps heart searching will reveal to us that we do not love our enemies. In this Jesus has become our example and we should follow in His steps. When we have found Him as our example we are exhorted, by the Apostle Paul to then be examples to the believers. LOtaDS TRADE MARK REO.

Jairus’ urgent mission (vv. 22,23) His only daughter (Luke 8:42), per haps his only child, lay dying. In this time'of utter helplessness be came to Jesus for he had faith in His ability to raise her up. In the providence of God,'’sorrow, sickness and death are often used to bring needy men and women into contact with Jesus. He showed the proper attitude toward Jesus, "He fell at His feet” (v. 22). 2. Jesus goes with Jairus (v. 24). Jairus believed that. If Jesus would lay His hand upon his daughter she would live. Such'faith always gets a response from Jesus. 3. News of his daughter’s death (v. 35). The messenger who brought the news of her death suggested (hat Jesus should be excused from g$ing further, as It was now too late. v 4. Jairus’ faith strengthened (v. 36). ; As soon as Jesus heard the words spoken concerning the death of this girl, he said to. the father, “Be not afraid, only helieve.” 5. The mourners rebuked (vv. 37-30). He now dtihiissed the crowd and allowed only three of His disciples and the parents of the dathpel to en ter this chamber of death with Him 6. Jairus’ faith rewarded (vv. 4T-43). He took the damsel by the hand and Issued the command for her to arise. The expression "TaTitha cum!’ in the Aaraniaic seems to be freely expressed, “Wake up, little girl.” She straightway arose and walked and partook pf food. II. The Woman With'an Issue Of Blood Healed (vv. 25-34). 1. Her helpless condition (yv. 25. 26. ct Luke 8:43). She had been a great sufferer for twelve Ibng years. 2. Her failh (Vv. 27, 28). She possessed a real and earnest lalth. For a poor emaciated woman after twelve years of suffering to press her way through a thronging multi lude shows that she possessed a de termined purpose. 'The test of the ac tuality and quality of one’s faith is the activity which characterizes the die. Her faith was so strong thus she believed contact with the Master’s garments would -secure the needed help. Though her faith was strong. It was imperfect- She only knew Him as a wonder worker, but through this experience she came to know Him as a compassionate Savior. 3. Her healing (vv. 29-32). As soon as she touched the hem of His garment she experienced in her bodyTlis healing power. Jesus Him self was conscious of the outgoing of virtue, therefore inquired, “Who touched me ” to w hich the disciples replied with amazement, “Thou sees! the multitude thronging thee and say- est thou, “Who touched me?” 4. Her confession (v. 33; cf. Luke 8:47). She thought secretly to get the blessing of healing, but Jesus per ceived that virtue had gone out from Him and had her make a public con fession. 5. Jesus’ words of encouragement (v. 34). With the communication of Hi< healing virtue. He spoke most gra cions and comforting words to this poor woman, telling her that it was her faith, not her touch that had saved her. Faith does not need to face dan gers and to exhaust itself in active endeavor in order to gain Christ’s blessing. All that is required is o trusting prayer. Not only did she gain the blessing, but had the distinc lion of being the only woman on rec ord as having been addressed by Jesus as "daughter,” which shows His spirit of tenderness to those who come to Him with their needs-. Grace and Knowledge Grace is given of God, but knowl edge is bought in the market.— Clough.
