JESUS, THE SON OF GOD tESSON TEXT-Matthew 18:13-17; lf:l l8. ' , GOLDEN TEXT Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, hlra will I confess also before my Father; which. I in heaven, Matthew 10:32. t ' ' i 1 "What think ye of Christ?" There is a question that every hu-' man being must answer. Jesus-' asked it (Matt. 22:42), and each o us makes some kind of reply. It is the touchstone that tries men, hni churches, organizations and movements. The answer to it Is of deep importance, for it determines character, condition, and destiny for lime and eternity. Jesus, the Christ, tha Son of tha living God, is the center of the entire lesson. , I. Jftias Confessed (13:13-17). ' .With His crucifixion now only sis months &way,' our Lord in preparation for it is about to maka a more definite claim to Messiahship, end thus to establish the truth in the mind3 of His disciples. He therefore asks this all - important question about Himself. . First, it is a general query, "Whom do men say "that I am?" The answer (v. 14) indicates that the common opinion 'cdncemlng Christ was a very high one. He had made su impression on the people of His time, and this has been true down through tlie ages. Even those who do not believe on Him admit thai He was "the ideal representative and guide to humanity," or the person before whom "everyone would kneel." But beautiful tributes to His character and leadership are worse ' than meaningless unless they lcad( !lo a personal confession of Him as Lord and Saviour. ; The question becomes personal as ;ile asks, "Wjiom do ye say that 1 .'. am?" That question no one can escape. We carmot refuse to answer, I Neutrality Is impossible. Whatever l we do or say, or do not do or say, . is a decision, i Peter's answer is really the sum i and substance ol Christian doctrine, He recognized Him as the Messiah, 'the fulfillment of all Hebrew proph lecy. and as thie Son of the living I God, the Redeemer and Saviour oi men, the One in' whom centers all Cnristian faith. ( . H. Jesus Transfigured (17:1-3).' ' , "! As His amazed disciples looked on, the eternal, ,divine glory of the Son of God could no longer be hidden by the hurriau body and ths ' humble garments of our Lord, and "His face did strne as the sun and His raiment was', white as light." They saw their beloved Master tin v for what He really was, the Son of God. The testimony of Peter was no longer mere words, although ever so blessed. His speech had been confirmed by sight and they knew their Master as the Lord of glory. It is essential in both the life and service of a Christian that he clearly understand the truth about Christ, His person and His work. When that understanding is tied up , with a personal vision of His glory, there is assurance and power. The want of such a vision explains the lack of zeal for soul-winning, the ineffectiveness of witness, (he tin. willingness to suffer or sacrifice for" Christ's sake. "Where there is no ! vision, the people perish" (Prov. 29: 13) for want of a witness concerning the Saviour. ' III. Jesus Triumphant (17:4-6). The crowning point of the transfiguration came when the voice spoke out of the bright, cloud and ' gave not only the Father's unqual- " ified approval of Chrisl, but also His command that men should listen to Him and hoed His message of redemption. Note how this word of the Father completed the transfiguration. In itself it might have been likened to that which happened to Moses (Ex. 34:29, 30). We say likened to. because the glory which showed forth in Jesus was from within, not just a reflected slow. But the wonte from heaven provide the cimclu;ive and linul witness. They so impressed Peier that lie. tallied of tlism ss a cheriblied memory and a transforming power in his life, even when he was an old man (It Pet. 1:16-18). How do (bey impress you? Are you ready to acknowledge Jenus as the Christ, the Son of God, and liake Kim as your' Saviour? IV. Jesus Only (17:7-9). Having seen Him in His glory, they now saw Him alone. True, the ' others had gone, but is there not also . the thought that He, the blessed God, now .filled the vision of their souls? . Surely we find it right at hand to' make that application, to our own Jives. When we really see Him as He is, then He fills our vision, and when He does that, we have reached real satisfaction of life. "Jesus only" is more than a motto or a theme for a song. It is. the epitome of a life worth while. It makes one want to ask everyone, "Do you know Him?" . Well, do you? It not. will you take Him as your Saviour right now? Christian, will you let Him fill your We?

AT THE CHURCHES

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Mind" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, February 25. ' . , The Golden Text is: "There is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding;" (Job 32:8). . Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "And be not conformed to this world: but be vp. transformed bv the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what it 4-lin,- AHAAhAUla Anil perfect, will of God. Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place onto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore, if thine enemy hunger, feed htm; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shall heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:2, 14, 19-21). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook. "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy : "Christian Science reveals Truth and Love as the motive-powers of man. Will blind, stubborn, and headlong cooperates with appetite and passion. From this cooperation aris. its evil. From this) also comes its powerlessness, since all power belongs to God, good" (p. 490). "The good you do and embody gives you the only power obtainable, Evil it; not power" (p. 192). ST. MARY'S CHURCH Sullivan, Ind. , April, to October.

Neighborly Deed

"Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" asked a certain lawyer who was listening to Jesus with a crowd of other people one day. And Jesus answered saying, "What is written in the law? how readest thou? Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and-with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself." And the lawyer, made to look foolish for his question by Jesus' answer, carried the temptation f urther with, "And who is my neighbor?" Then Jesus told the parable of the man from Jerusalem who went down to Jericho and fell among thieves who stripped him of his raiment, wounded him and left him half dead by the roadside. And while he lay there a priest and a Levitc passed and saw his plight but went on their way. Cut there came along the road a Samaritan and in those days the Samaritan people were looked upon as a low class of people and were shunned by all other classes, especially by the proud Jews. But this Samaritan saw the Jew ymg by the roadside and in need of care. After binding and caring for the Jew's wounds he set him upon his own mount and took him to an inn in Jericho. There he stayed with him overnight and as he left the next day he gave money to the innkeeper, telling him to care for the Jew. And Jesus paid f(T

the lawyer, "Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbor unto him that fell among the thieves,?" " Today many soldiers on the battlefields are being cared for by our medical corps and medical supplies. Men of all nations are receiving care in our hospitals. Even prisoners of war are given a chance for life. Men who once tried to kill us are given aid. Right? Yes, it certainly is. Though' we are fighting to stop the advance of the aggressor nations we are also looking to the day when peace will again reign over all nations. Perhaps God wfll touch the hearts of these now enemies to whpm we are giving aid and the status of "neighbor" will raise between us. When that happens the world will know a perfect peace and our loved ones shall not have; died in vain. Look for your neighbor in every hour of the day. He's needing your help in so many ways. You may not know him by name but when you take his burden you will lose your own.Find yourself today. Begin at the church.
