ROBERT H HARPER f j Jesus’ Concern for 'AIL Lesson for February 4: MatihoB k A-13,18-26. Memory Verse: Matthew 7:12. In Matthew 8 we find that, foVle#* Inc the Sermon on the Mount, Zam** began one of the busiest period® *»i. beating of His ministry. It •• ** «pon the return from Gadara to •Tw- ^ pernaum that the incidents , weired-, which we study in the let", wan text. > The restoring of the palsied r«c** ■roused the scribes to criticism u»s they, with the Pharisees. v.e:« «rer afterward arrayed a galoot -Jesus, being joined toward the «*%' by the Sadducees. Jesus* concern for all was shown da the cal! of Matthew. The Lore eras concerned not only to beat bodies but also to heal souls and to bring men to life’s true fulfil- xnent. When Matthew had been called to the better employment of bis talents, he made Jesus a feast end “many publicans and sinners,’* doubtless former associates of Matthew as a tax-collector, sat -down with Jesus and the disciples. 'This unheard-of-thing—for a teach er of religion to eat with sinners—. turther roused the Pharisees. Th% ■ :reply of Jesus to their {question was, that the sick are they who need ; . physician—indicating that His gre; t mission was to the sick of soul. This incident was followed by ths healing of the woman with the bloody issue and the raising of the rs-uler’s daughter. The one instance demonstrated a great faith for one self, the other the faith of a parent for his child. And Jesus showed His .great concern for all, both in heal ing the aged and in restoring the young to life. The whole of the lesson reveals Saviour who is concerned and cble to help m all the needs of life. ■Such a Saviour may be trusted—•, 1 for time and eternity. Reader, do .yod trust Him? t-vC'-.r. j • By Elli'tt Pine ' , Joe D1 Maggie* ithe Yankee slug-! «er, who is now a sergeant, gave *ome tips on hitting—with bat or f >lf club—when, he was xin New ork on a brief* furlough. “There mxe two main points to watch,” Joe began. “One is the correct use of fbe hips, and the other is the free, ffcdl use of the hands and wrists. "The hips must turn to' give the soeeded body action, and at the came time nothing must be allowed <o freeze the action of hands and wrist*. . . . The main power in bitting comes from the rear foot,” be added. , A group of big-time coaches pick Shorty McWilliams of the Army as the best back of all-time . . . they also consider the 145 Army back- field the greatest ... it included Glenn Davis, Doc Blanchard and «ither Sensenbaugher or Tucker, as well as McWilliams. The Navy team Is rated a close second, with Jen- bins and Scott the outstanding backs, but some think Bob Kelley as good or better than either of these. AI Simmons of the Philadel phia Athletics will become a 20- year veteran of the big leagues if he can hold out for 36 days 1 this season, which seems likely ... there are few 20-year- , men in the game. ’Ted Lyons, White Sox pitcher, was 74 days shy of the mark when he entered the marines . . .; one season is reckoned for every 172 playing days. Bill Pepper of the Great Lakw; naval training basketball squad hr.r four brothers in service ... ala* :20 other relatives ... he was » regular on the Minnesota U. team. , Milwaukee reports that professional * boxing had the best season in the city’s history, as far as gate re ceipts were concerned . . . yet pro moters lost money . . . the explana tion being that the fighting talent was too highly paid in comparison with admission prices. The average height of the U. ol Arkansas starting lineup is six feet, five inches. Free Cady, Southern 'California U. swimming coach, -call* Neil Kohlhase the best water rjpolo player in the school’s history ... he has scored 26 goals in five games. Frank Leahy, now a lieu tenant in the navy, signed a long term contract with Notre Dame U. as head football coach and director -of athletics before he entered tbo awvice.
