TWO HEALINGS DISCUSSED BY DRJILROY Vivid Picture of Faith Found in This Lesson. The International Uniform Snnday School Lesson for Jan. 15. Jesus’ Power Oyer Sin. Mark 2: 3-12, 15-17. By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of The Congregationaiist AS we have already suggested, whatever healing” of the body Jesus brought to men in his earthly mission was symbolic of that deeper and greater healing that he had brought for the souls of men. Here in our lesson these two healings are beautifully blended in the story of the healing of the man sick of the palsy and the questions that arise in connection with the power of Jesus as manifested. There is this vivid picture of the faith and the determination of those who brought this sick man to Jesus. He was borne by four, and when they could not get him to Jesus, because the pressure of the crowd was so great, they let him down through a hole in the roof. We can feebly sense the dramatic nature of the incident in the few plain bold words in which it is recorded. It must have produced a real sensation, but upon the Master It produced a strong impression of their faith. He did not, however, say to the sick of the palsy first of all words of healing. He said rather, “Son, thy sins are forgiven.” The theology-mongers and the heresy-hunters were stirred up at once. Why is it that all the devilish suspiciousness of men, the intolerable bigotry, and the narrow and hostile attitude of criticism and fault-finding take to themselves the sacred field of religion? It is the unexplained tragedy of spiritual life. Is not the Almighty able to vindicate himself against those who speak untruth or blasphemy even in his name? How prone we are to feel that the Ark of God can not stand without our stretching out our hands to steady it, and that the prerogatives of God himself are in danger unless we are forever championing his cause! Is it not almost Inevitable that this attitude becomes very quickly not one of our upholding God, but an effort to make God unhold our ideas and faults, small though they may be? But Jesus perceived the thought

of his critics. “Whidh is easier to say to the sick of the palsy,” he asked, “ ‘thy sins be forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Arise, take up thy bed and walk’?” So there came the outward manifestation of his power. The record, says that they were all amazed when the man with the palsy arose and took up his bed and walked, and that they glorified God saying. “Wo never saw it on this fashion.” We ponder if that applies to the Pharisees who criticized Jesus or to the unsophisticated people who listened and witnessed. We know that other of the bigoted and narrow minds, even when the wonderful works of Jesus were so plain as to make their questions ridiculous, instead of being convinced, sought to explain these wonderful works by attributing the power of Jesus to his association with Beelzebub, the prince of the devils. It is thus that bigotry can always justify itself even where the facts and evidences seem most clear. Apparently some at least of these critics of Jesus were not convinced; for when they found Jesus eating with those whom they regarded as the unworthy, they criticised him afresh. “How is it,” they asked, “that he eatetli and drinketh with publicans and sinners?” They had no conception of that large love in humanity that might make even the Savior of Men tender and sympathetic in his contacts, willing to meet with all, and especially ready to associate himself with the sick and needful and sinful just because, as ha said, these were they whom he came to bless and to save. “They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” How difficult it is for us to appreciate the simplest and deepest lessons of the Son of Man. Even after centuries of meditation upon these things it is so often the spirit of the scribes rather than the spirit of the Master that prevails in our thought of our fellow men and in our attitude toward life.

Here Sunday

Commander Richard E. Byrd will speak Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the Murat on “The Atlantic and Other Flights” under the auspices of the Boys Preparatory School. R. Hartley Sherwood is chairman of the general committee and Dr. E. B. Mumford is chairman of publicity, with G. M. Williams, F. M. Ayres and H. C. Adams on the committee. N. N. Noyes is chairman of the entertainment committee. The ticket committee is headed by Mrs. R. F. Geddes and consists of Mrs. C. B. Sommers, Mrs. N. A. Perry, Mrs. N. H. Noyes and Mrs. H. C. Adams. Last season Commander Byrd lectured to thousands of people throughout America on his first flight to the North Pole. H*s direct, simple way; his pleasing personality won his listeners everywhere. He was one of the season’s real lecture successes. He now comes to tell of the trans-Atlantic flight, but his new lecture will deal with more than this one event. He will recount the incidents of his entire career leading up to the trans-Atlantic flight. Many do not know that he was in charge of navigation arrangements for the flights of the NC planes across the Atlantic in 1919. He then invented many of those instruments which have since aided him and others so greatly In air navigation. He navigated the NC-1 to Newfoundland, but left the plane there as he was to have navigated the airship C-5 on a direct flight to England. The C-5 was wrecked on the New England coast and Commander Byrd’s first chances ended with him still on shore. He went to England a year later as navigating officer to fly the British-built airship ZR-2, back to America, but the ZR-2 blew up, Commander Byrd being the sols surviving officer.
