The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Feb. 26. Other Mighty Works of Jesus. Mark 5:22-27, 32-36, 41. 42. BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of The CongregationaUst THE lesson deals with two stories of the miraculous power of Jesus. It is worth while to remind the reader that the value of the stories of the miraculous for ourselves is found in their spiritual effect upon us. The Important thing is not so much what they tell concerning what happened long ago, but what is going to happen to us as we read and meditate upon tnese records in the present. The more strongly we believe in the power of God. and in its remarkable manifestations, the more definitely we may assume that that power is with us to bless our lives as deeply as the lives of others were bl ssed in the past. Tire New Testament reveals the power of God at its highest and deepest as concerned. not primarily with the healing of the body, but first of all with the salvation of the soul. The miracles of life-giving and healing are Incidental in the deeper ministry of Christ as the giver of eternal life. Faith of .Tairus Let us contemplate these miraculous stories of our lesson in the light of this general thought of God’s power and God’s purpose as emphasized in the New Testament story of the mission of the Christ. First of all, we have the profound faith of this ruler of the synagogue, Jairus, who believes that Jesus can restore to life the daughter who is at the point of death. He beseeches Jesus to come and heal his daughter. But on the way to the house an incident occurs that has captured in a vigorous way the imagination and the spirtiual Interest of every reader of the Scriptures. An interested crowd of spectators throng after Jesus and Jairus, and in the multitude is a poor woman, sensitive and shrinking alike from publicity and from too great presumption, but who is the victim of a serious disease and who longs for the Master's help. The faith that she has in him is so deep that she believes if she may only touch the hem of his garment she will find healing. How splendidly such an incident till 5 p. m.; for adults, from 6:30 till 7:30 p. m. “I Believe in the Church” will be the subject of J. Floyd Seelig, pastor of the Fifty-First Street M. E. Church in the service on Sunday morning. The Young Ladies Vester Choir will sing and Miss Vivian Campbell will play a violin solo as offertory'. In the evening the sermon subject will be “The Man Who Ran Past the Signal.” R. C. Hiller and Rev. Seelig will sing a duet. The morning sermon of the Rev. Robert M. Wood, pastor of the Crooked Creek Baptist Church will be “Teamwork.” In the evening the sermon will be ‘ Drawing Power.” The revival services will continue throughout the week. The pastor has charge of the meetings. MOTION PICTURES

reveals both the defects and the glories of faith—and the glories of faith that so often are very real even when they are associated with the defects of faith and with some elements of superstition! Power in Personality One may say that it was a somewhat superstitious feeling that in the mind of this woman attached miraculous power even to the very garments of Jesus. One might say that the true power of Jesus was in his personality rather than in the outward accompaniments of his life or in the material things associated with him. In fact, the rationalistic critic might find all manner of fault with the peculiar form and expression of this poor woman’s faith; but beneath the faith in the efficacy of the hem of Christ’s garment was the deeper response of this woman to Jesus himself. But w'hile this incident has been transpiring there hurry those from the house of Jairus to assure him that there is no need longer to trouble the Master, that his daughter is dead. Was she really dead, or was she sleeping in a trance almost indistinguishable from death. The light of modem scientific facts in relation to such experiences at the border line of life and death might give point to the inquiry', and those who seem to regard it as necessary to rationalize all the stories of the miraculous might lay great stress upon the assumption that the damsel was not really dead, but only in a trance. But such questionings, so far as we are concerned, are wide of the mark Why should we think it less wonderful that Jesus should raise from the dead than that we should restore to wholeness those who are broken and afflicted in body? Faith knows no secrets and no limiting circumstance of position or lowliness. God honors alike the faith of the great and the lowly, of the learned and of the unlearned.
