e ■ kivOfllCCl Clfl rasw 1 • Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson, Jesus Among People of Other Races, Mark 7: 24-37, for Sunday, March 27. Jesus ieft Galilee likely because of the pressure caused by the excitement over the death of John the Baptist, the uncontrolled anger of the Pharisees, the urgent need of rest, a desire to be alone with ’ the disciples, and a popular move ! to make him king. But as a result I Jesus made contacts with those of other races. V. 24. "And from thence he arose. ■ and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into a house, and would have no man know it; but he could not be hid." Jesus' fame had spread beyond Galilee. He did not desire to be famous and so hid himself. Good works follow man so that he cannot be hid. V. 24. “For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, JieariJ of him, and ! came and fell' at his feet.'.' Here was a Gentile woman, member of the Canaanite remnant and of ai race considered morally degraded; but she possessed the noble desire of having a happy home. V. 26. "The woman was a Greek.! a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil that was in j her." This woman is so be com-| mended because she besought Jesus; she felt the need of him. There is not much hope for those who are selfsufficient, feeling no need of the Lord. V. 27. “But Jesus said unto her. Let the children first be filled; for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and cast it unto the dogs.” Here is a case where prayer was not answered immediately. Prayer is one's best spiritual exercise and it is well that God keeps us praying by not answering our prayers at once. Jesus used the common attitude of the Jews ns a means of accomplishing a cure later; such as she was considered as little dogs. V. 28. “And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord; yet the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs." Here is seen seeds of faith; this woman kept on seeking. asking, knocking. She would not be offended by having been given the name of a dog.

OUR PREACHER SAYS For every man you meet who is hungry for bread, there are dozens whose spirits are starving 1 simply for want of a consciencequickening idea. Ideas are transferred from mind to mind, and here is the real value of living. Well may we examine ourpelves to see whether we possess such an idea, and if we do not, then it is high time to get It; then baaing it, we must pass it on to others. Cultivate a good conslence and let it be expressed to others. LESSON PRAYER: Lesson Prayer: We pray that we may have Christ's vision of those not of our race and recognize la them the same poMibilitiee and capacities we have and then set about to give them an equal opportunity.

V. 29. “4nd he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.” This declaration reveals both supernatural power and supernatural knowledge, Because Christ willed it, the demon which was not even in his presence, was compelled to . leave. Here, again Jesus places , his stamp on perseverence. V. 30. “And when she was come to her house, she found the devil , gone out, and her daughter laid , on the bed." She took Jesus at i his word and went in faith beliey- . trig. Something was different in her home after she had met Jesus. Jesus makes a difference in the lives of those who have, faith in him. V. 31. "And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Defapolfs." This indicates that Jesus made a rather extensive trip, going 20 miles north from Tyre and Sidon, and then east toward Damascus, and finally south to the sea of Galilee. V. 32. “And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand oh him." Here is a helpless man from another race but he had friends who brought him to Jesus. Again we have the important lesison of how friends should ‘bring ho Christ others who are spirituali ly defective. V. 33. “And he took him aside , from the multitude. and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit and touched his tongue." Apper- ! ently this made the needed mental preparations for the performing of a miracle, which could best be secured away from the crowd. Jesus proceeded with a sort of sign language that would cause an arising of faith. V. 34. "And looking up to heaven he sighed, and with unto him, Ephphatha, that is Be opened." This man represented the helpless- • ness of the world caused Jesus to have a deep sigh of sympathy. V. 35. "And straightway his ears were cpened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain." The cure was instantaneous and perfect Here is a case of divine healing, something possible today of which there are cases. V. 36. “And he charged them that they should tell no man; but the more he charged them so much the more a great deal they, published it” Jesus was not pressed hard by the masses for healing. The common testimony was "He hath done all things well."

world brotherhood..an that friendship. mutual respect and a high regard ford each may result. pooh Review The Practice of Godliness, by Abraham Kuyper, William B. Berdman's Publishing Co., gives an insight into she mystical union of Christ and his followed and is designed to bring help and comfort to Christians and Christseekers alike. It consists of three parts: Christian Warfare, Christian Patience, and Humility before God. those of every creed and sect will appreciate the the author's childlike simplicity of faith and sweetness of soul. The number of America's postwar Protestant seminap - students has risen from 13,000 In 1939, to 24,009 in 1947. In the same period.
