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?

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.
