Marcl 13. In Jesus' miracles we are taught that all powerful God presides ovei life and that Jesus, the supremely faithful among all humanity, was able to utilize God's power in a manner which admits of no paral . lei. V. 22. “And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the syna gogue, Jairus by name; and when , he saw him he fell at his feet." It is reasonable to believe that , Jesus may have attended the synagogue service where Jairus presided; hence, Jairus knew much about Jesus. A pudviic worship is a good (place to learn about Jesus. V. 23. “And besought him great, ly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death; I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, . that she may be healed and she ! shall live." It is human to want i to live and to have our loved live. Most men when they see death approaching want divine help. All healing is divine whether directly by God or through the Christian ministry of healing through human agencies. V. 35. "While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead; why trou{blest thou the Master any further?" iln the eyes of the messengers, iail hope was gone, so they urged Jairus to give up. In hope there are elements of life; to be hopeless is to be lifeless, The hope of immortality has in it eternal life. I V. 36. "As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he i saith to the ruler of the synagogue. Be not afraid, only believe." ! i The ideal Jesus held out was that ; when he was near one need not be afraid of anything, not even death. Believing this gives faith I and courage when a crisis comes. V. 37. “And he suffered no man to follow him. save Peter, James, and John the brother of James." Here was the beginning of an inner circle of the disciples worthy special fellowship. We, too, may have inner circles. V. 38. “And he cometh to the

A good deed done todaymay lie the starting point toward j victories over temptations little , dreamed of. An apparently trivial indulgence in anger, coneeit. pride, selfishness, may be the entering wedge of acts that might bring serious consequences • even crime.

■ house of the ruler of the synagc | gue, and seeth the tumult, am I them that wept and walled great I ly.” Hired mourners added to tin | tumult and confusion; death is i I time for quiet meditation. I V. 39. “And when he was comi in, he saith unto them, Why maki n- ye this ado and weep? the damse s- is not dead but sleepeth." Th< 2- thought of sleep suffests an< 'h awakening, a fitting way of lobkin; at such an event. it V.4ft. “And they laughed him tc ir scorn. But when he put them al' ly out. he taketh the father anc is mother of the damsel, and them a that were with him, and entered in 1- where the damsel was lying." A fun-making crowd interferes with h the work of Jesus. It is our part 1- to create the right atmosphere n where God can work. V. 41. "And he took the damsel lt :'by the hand, and said unto her, '■ Talitha cinni; which is being interpreted. Damsel, I say unto thee, I* arise." A Christian grasp of the a hands has spiritual significance. '• Jesus now proved God's power over ■' death, our greatest physical enemy. II For us, too, are the words, "Be ! ' not afraid, only believe." p V. 42. "And straigtway the dam- ( sei arose, and walked: for she was of the age of twelve years. 1 And they were astonished with a I great astonishment.” The damsel , was restored to life and to health. 1 It is God's will that wd live in ( i health. It is our part to follow the laws of health that we may live to a ripe old age. reaching the ' time when all the organs fail together. so that this house of clay ' may be laid aside for a house ' eternal in the heavens. V 5.20,21. “When the men were come to him. they said, John the , Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying. Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? And in that same hour he cured many of their Infirmities and (plagues, and of evil spirits; and I unto many that were blind he gave sight." The questions asked hy John were answered in the many wonderful miracles performed by Jesus demonstrated the truth. “By their fruits ye shall know them." And so in the following verse Jesus asked that hi.; report of working miracles be made known to the inquiring John. V. 23. “And blessed is he. w-hoso-ever shall not be offended in me." We are to continue faithful to Christ even when it looks as if our case were hopeless.

Book Review Human Adventures in Happy Uvlng. William L. Stidger. Fleming H. Revell Co., consists of true stories of Christian living that will send the reader on a quest for the Christian radiance that makes these lives shine. The heroes and heroines are mostly common folk, known and unknown, from every walk id life, who have left the world cleaner than they found it. Clericus Says: Clericua aayt: "Jesus did not come to take away any of the joys of lite, but to purify, exalt, end enlarge our lives, that we may have a more abundant life; not life, half-dead, but life full of joy . and peaee ■ in short, that we may Ihe happy and prosperous. This - abundant life may be quite indeI Pendent of worldly possessions." The jealous person always faces a deficit. The man who is complaining al i ways makes a poor companion.
