screamed al I on s.B.'«ra| LessonJigj Creamed Comments on the SunI day School Lesson, Jesus’ Early Teaching and Healing, Mark 1:1416; 1:32-50; Luke 4:16-21. for Sunday February 6. The Christian program as set by Christ was that of preaching, teaching and healing. This calls today for preachers, teachers and nurses, doctors and hospitals. This is the plan of work in foreign mission fields as well as at home. V. 14. ‘‘Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God.'' Galilee was the promising field, and it was here where he spent the largest part of his ministry. The largest opportunity for service is a good guide in choosing one's life work. Jesps’ first business was preaching the gospel. We can do notning that means more than always to present and stand for the truths of the gospel. V. 15. "And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye and believe the gospel." To repent and believe is so fundamental that it was the first text of Jesus. Peter, and Paul. There is no hope for the Individual or for nations till there is true repentance of sin . V. 32. “And at even, when the sun did set, they brought to him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils." Jesus had a busy day preaching in the synagogue at Capernaum, healing a man with an unclean spirit and Peter’s wife's mother. At the end of the Sabbath his fame brought scores of sick folks and folks with evil spirits to be healed. So great was the crowd at the door of Peter's home that it is written “All the city gathered at the door." Verse 34 indicates that no one was turned away, not even those possessed with devils. Peace, hajmony and Christian brotherhood will follow when instead of hating the devil-possessed, we love them a*d do our best to bring them to Christ, the Great Healer. Vs. 35, 36. “And in the morning, rising up a great while before day. he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed and Simon and they that were with I him followed after him." So great! was the call of the people, that,! knowing a great task awaited him, How hard are you likely to make it for your friends when you come to the end of the road? If you cultivate a happy radiance now under trying circumstances, you will be able to maintain such a spirit when the last day on earth Is approaching. Make your last days easy forj yourself and friends. Surrender' your life to God now, trust him fully, and have faith that all is well. I Clericus Says: Clericus says: "Our Lord did not regard prayer as a substitute for work but he believed work was not i possible without prayer, if it was accessary for Christ to pray, bow nuc'u more necessary is it for us. I the Miracle Worker, unsurpassed hrough the ages, needed prayer o restore, his strength and susain it, how much more do we poor altering, blundering souls need he support of this great spiritual privilege.” .rade in a Go..’ lcv». — Oecatu

Jesus sought the necessary spiritual power by earnest prayer. The disciples needed to learn that the way to spiritual power was by prayer. It is true for us today. V. 37. “And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee." Likely a great crowd came early to Peter’s home and Peter and the disciples could do nothing but turn them to Jesus whom they begged to come tojhe seekers. |t is a good sign when people seek Jesus, but some one must pave the way, V. 38. “And he said unto them. Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for therefore came I forth." Jesus was the first missionary who went into places other than the home town even though there was Christian work to be done. A good Christian believes in fQreign missions. Note in the following verse that Jesus went throughout all Galilee. V. 16. "And he came to Nazareth where he had been brought up: and. as his custom was. he ; went into the synagogue on the sabbath day. and stood up for to read." Here we see the human side of Jesus as he went back to his childhood home to see the home folks and preach and heal there also. His coming had been welcomed and he was honored in being asked to read the scriptures and to preach. Vs. 17, 18. "And there was delivered to him the-book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it is written. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor: he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the’ acceptable year of the Lord.” This was the program of Jesus. He had for a year in Galilee demonstrated the fact that by his works it was proved that he was the Messiah. This was a hard place for Jesus to do his work, for when he had apnounced himself as the Messiah, his listeners did not receive him as such. Nevertheless, Jesus would be true to God and his task. V. 20. “And he closed the bookc and gaye it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of al) them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him." Here close attention was given but. from the report later, there were critics who would scorn him. Nevertheless, he said, "This day is the scripture fulfilled in your ears.” LESSON PRAYER: Lesson prayer: We are grateful for God's program as revealed through Christ in his preaching, teaching, and healing ministry. Grant that we. his followers, shall adopt this program and make it first in our Hyes. May it become more and more the program of others until it shall be the world's great program.

We must recognize the fact of evil and hate it, believing that God hates it, too. in this thought one may tie up with God and his power, for the power of God is greater than the power of evil. That power may not be exerted just whet) ant) where ye expect it, but In due time the victory of right over wrong will be a fact. Not to believe this would be to doubt God. Os course, this takes faith, of which most of us have so little, but this little faith exercised gets stronger by being used.
