I On LsbSAASSJmIV Creamed Comment* on th* Sunday school lesson. Jesus meet* human needs. Luke 5:12-36, for Sunday, November 6. Supplying human needs is of great importance. Service is rendered because of it. Christian service in supplying human needs springs from an unselfish spirit; ; in such service is seen merep and pity which characterised the Lord. How far such Christian service is extended may be seen by maintaining hospitals, children's homes, homes for the aged, and all missionary and benevolent work. All vocations should be chosen as a means of satisfying humarCiibgd. Character is judged by hew mucTr", one cares for athers. V. 12. “And it came to pass when he was in a certain city, behold , a man full of leprosy, who seeing ‘ Jesus, fell on his face, and besought hhn. saying. Lord, if thou I wilt, thou canst make me clean.” i | Here was a leper, despised, forced , to live outside social relations. , suffering torment, incurable, des- j, tined to die. No more pitiful man , could be seen. All men passed by , him as he was commanded to cry, "unclean." Certainly here was * great human need which Jesus ' would . not bypass. Jesus never ’ failed to use any opportunity to do good. The good news of the gospel reached the ears of this leper and immediately there sprung up within him saving faith in the Lord. His need was to be clean physical- 1 ly and spiritually. This leper humbled himself and earnestly prayed 1 specifically to be made dean. He 1 believed there was nothing too 1 hard for Jesus to do. V. 13. “And he put forth his hand, and touched him. saying, I will, be thou dean. And immediately the leprosy departed from I him." Jesus extended his hand of < fellowship and gave that healing i touch in answer to a prayer of i faith. There followed immediately ; a perfect cirre. Imagine the joy < that followed the healing! I > V 14. S TWI nb ffikht and go, and show thyself to the priest and offer for thy ] cleansing, according to Moses com- i mandment for a testimony unto I them.” This cure might produce a , i

The Heart of Democracy Primarily democracy is the conviction that there are extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people, and that if we throw wide the doors ot opportunity, so that all can bring out the best that is in them, we will get amazing results from unlikely sources, says br. Harry Emerson Fosdick. Shakespeare was the son of a bankrupt butcher and a mother who could not write her name. Beethoven was the son of a consumptive .mother, JierselP the 1 daughter of a cook and a drunken father. Schubert was the son of a peasant father, and a mother who had been In domestic service. Faraday, one of the greatest of scientific experimenters of all time, was born over a stable, his father being an invalid blacksmith. Such facts {is these underlie democracy. That is why. with all its discouraging blunders, we must everlastingly believe in it.

sensational reaction. The priest* could give proof of the cure, and besides, the law should be recognized. Jesus would do nothing illegal. V. 15 "And so much the more went there a fain* about him; aud great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed of their infirmities.” The good news of having been cured was too good for the leper to keep. The human needs of many were presented to the Lord. Blessings of healing followed the report of the good news by the leper. Jesus wanted to be alone for rest and prayer. V. 27. "And after these things, he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom; and he said unto him, Follow me.” Evidently. Jesus saw in Levi, honesty, trustworthiness, ability and possibilities. Levi's work was a pbsinon bT necessity, the office being so often "abused, caused the public to despise any one holding the office. V. 28. "And he left all. rose up. and followed him.” Here are the first steps to discipleship. Levi did not argue: he had faith in the Lord; he showed his earnestness by giving up his office and income; he got on his feet like a sinner standing up for prayers when God’s call is heard. But best of all. he followed the Lord, for in this was the essence-of discipleship. V. 29. "And Levi made him a great feast in his own house; and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.” A genuine convert wants others to know the Lord. V. 30. "But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat with publicans and sinners?” Jesus was breaking with traditions, namely, despising publicans. Salvation and not traditions was Jesus’ program. Vs. 31, 32. “And Jesus answering said unto them. They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinner* to repentance.” Jesus recognized the selfrighteousness of his critics and i justifies his action in calling Levi, j called a sinner by the critics, to follow him.

Our Preacher Says: Life is full of strained relation* ships and In our shortsightedness we offend and Injure others thoughtlessly. Our absorption in our own affairs causes us sometimes to neglect those who have a claim upon our care. Misunderstandings arise most naturally. An inflection of the voice sometimes carries a meaning we did not want or intend to convey. Our actions are often not a true index of onr motives and heart. Out of these unintentional injuries to one another grow moat of the quarrels of life. How many of these would disappear if we would hunt for our wrong to others, and apologise tor them, rather than hunt for ,-tbe wrongs done by others to us, and hug closely to our bosom the ghosts of offended feelings.
