IMPROVED UNIFORM [NTEMaTTONAL Sunday School » Lesson ’ (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D D.. Teacher of Knglleh Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.* Copyright. I*ll, Western Newspaper Union LESSON FOR JANUARY 7 JESUS HEALING ON THE SABBATH LESSON TEXT-l.uk* 13 lu-IT. GOLDEN TEXT—It le lawful to do well on the Sabbath day.—Matt. 12 11 REFERENCE MATEKIAL-Ea. 2U;»-U, lan. X. tb 11-8: Mark 223 3-b. PRIMARY TOPIC-Jeau* lining Good. JUNIOR TOPlC—Jeaux Healing a Helpless Woman. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC - Right Use of the Lord'* Day. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC -Right Uee of the Lord * Day. What Jesus did on the Sabbath frequently brought him into serious conflict with the Pharisees. Through the petty rules and regulations they had uiude this holy duy, which God designed as a duy of rest and the doing of deeds of mercy, a day of burden and hardship. Jesus did not disregard the Sabbath, but broke awuy Irotu their tradition* und showed that tlie Sabbath was made fur man. and not mun for the Sabbath. Religious rites and ceremonies should not be hardened Into fetters to bind the worshiper. I. Jetus Teaching on the Sabbath Day (v. 10). It was the Lord’s custom to go to the place of worship on the Sabbath day. His disciples will Imitate Him in this. At the place of worship there Is opportunity to be nearest to (*od, to worship Him, and to show mercy und kindness to our fellow-man. 11. Jesus Healing on the Sabbath (tv. 11-13). 1. A Woman In Need (v. 11). This poor woman's back was bowed down with eighteen years of great suffering. Though thus afflicted she found her wuy to the place of worship. Men and women are in great need today. Their bodies may not be bowed down with physical suffering, but there are many bowed down with the burden of sin and sorrow. 2. Culled to Jesus (v. 12). He Is always quick to discern those who are burdened. He spoke a word of healing to her. How welcome must have been His words. He Is calling today to the many who are weighed down with guilty consciences to come to Him. 3. Laid His Hands Upon Her (v. 13). At His touch she was made straight and glorified God. it was not enough to teach. He showed His sympathy by coming into touch with' the suffering woman. Christ’s followers tire to imitate Him in teaching, and also in coming into direct touch with the needy, sinful, and burdened world. 111. The Indignation of the Ruler of the Synagogue (v. 14). Under the pious pretense of loyalty to God he showed that ritual Is of more importance than mercy and love. It whs not primarily concern for ritual, but hatred for Jesus that moved him to indignation. He was too cowardly to attack the Lord directly, so turned to the people and hit at Him over their backs. He pretended great concern for the healing of the/people but advised that they come in the six days, and not thus have tlie Sabbath profaned by such a sacrilegious act ns the healing •uf-tfiT.s poor woman, ’lids man is the type of the many hypocrites among us today. IV. The Lord’* Reply to the Ruler (vv. 15, Id). Jesus removes the mask of hypocrisy from the ruler ns He points out their own custom as a condemnation of their pious pretense. He argues from the lesser * the greater. If It was right to take animals which had only been tied for a few hours, to water on the Sabbath day. certainly It was right to bring relief to this woman who had been bowed for eighteen years. Human beings are of more value than animals. This woman was a daughter of Abraham and not a sinner of low-down character. The principle which Jesus set forth restored the Sabhnth to its true purpose. \ V. Shamed Adversaries and Rejoicing People (v. 17). The tide was now turned. Their exposure was so great that their consciences smote them. The arguments against morals and the church are of the same type today. The Family Altar. With the home resting on the family nltar, a new religious life will come to the world; wholesome, unwavering. The world will learn by experience to rely on prayer. We shall believe that there Is more good In the world than evil; more truth than falsehood; more i love, mercy and forgiveness In God, , Ilian condemnation and punishment. We shall realize that prayer Is the only weapon with which the world can overcome evil.

Defense. For wisdom Is a defense and money Is a defense; but the excellency of knowledge Is, that wisdom glveth life to them that have It.—Ecclesiastes 7:12. The Saint. A saint is one who brings the sense of God's nearness to others. —Washburn. To Ascend Upward. We must retire Inward If we would aecend upward.—St. Bernard.
