O. W. has never before been greater,” said Col. T. E.

I) UflSL, JESUS RESPONDS TO FAITH Lesson for March 18th Matthew 15:53-16:12 Golden Text: Matthew 7:7 It is a striking fact that the greatest life ever lived concen trated its energies upon a tiny area. Palestine does not comprise much more than ^000 square miles, which makes it about the size of our State of Vermont. Now Jesus stepped outside this small region only once, in the incident of our lesson. Except for this single inter- Cheshire Cat and all the other ruption, He lived entirely within Mrs. Wm. R. Watson and . chil dren spent the past week-end vis iting relatives in Blackville. Mr. Albert Guillebeaux of Lin coin County, Ga., was .a visitor here Monday and Tuesday. Mrs. L. L. Rankin of Aiken and Miss Eloise Corley of Norway spent Friday and Saturday here with relatives. Miss Frances Edmunds of Green wood spent the week-end here with her mother, Mrs. S. L. Edmunds. Master Charlie Connor of Green ville is spending a couple of weeks here with his aunt, Mrs. J. Arch Talbert. Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Allen of Charlotte, N. C., spent several days here last week with her mother, Mrs. Lucy Ludwick. famous Carroll figures are por trayed in the picture by favorite Hollywood stars. Among the more important screen stars appearing in “Alice in Wonderland” are Richard Arlen, Roscoe Ates, Gary Cooper, Leon Errol, Louise Fazenda, W. C. Fields, Skeets Gallagher, Cary Grant, Raymond Hatton, Edward Everett Horton, Roscoe Kams, Baby Le- Roy, Mae Marsh, Polly Moran, Jack Oakie, Edna May Oliver, May Rob son, Charlie Ruggles, Alison Skip- worth, Ned Sparks and Ford Ster- ling. Norman McLeod directed the borders of the Holy Land, car rying on a varied ministry in Gali lee and Judea, with brief excur sions into Samaria and Peraea. Within this circumscribed district the Master lived the most complete and perfect life of which history has any record. As our lesson text points out, he conceived His mis sion in definite Jewish terms. “I have only been sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” (Chap. 15:24.) One is reminded of the great German philosopher, Immanuel Kant, who, although much inter- ssted in geography, was never more than a few miles distant from his native city, Konigsberg, in Prussia, and never saw the sea, which could be reached by a walk of two hours. In that relatively un important provincial capital he spent a long, full life, rich in friendship, and profound in thought. A more familiar example is our own Henry David Thoreau, wh0‘ could never be persuaded to leave bis native Concord, then a village of some 2,000 folk only. If people would be content to stay where they are, and live simply, making the most of what is im mediately at hand, life would be much more serene and wholesome. Jesus, however, did once cross the border of Palestine into the Gentile territory of Syria, seeking retirement and recreation. But His fame had preceded Him, and at once He was sought out by a. Canaanitish woman of the district who persistently demanded that her sick daughter be relieved. So impressed was the Master by her ardent faith that He granted her request.
