He is far and away the most lucid mind and voice in Brit ain. Historians are convinced he will live in history as the greatest British orator, Pitt not forgotten. Churchill, for your information, is privately convinced that America ought to come into the war at once. He is tired of having to sell the U. S. on every new event and idea.

(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for November 17 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts ae- J$ c wd and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. JESUS' CONCERN FOR LIFE AND HEALTH LESSON TEXT—Luke 7:2-15. GOLDEN TEXT—I am come that they might have life, and that |hey might have It more abundantly.—John 10:10. Physical life and bodily vigor are secondary in importance to spiritual life and health. Most people do not believe that, but it is true. Never theless our physical well-being is of great importance, for it is evident that the spiritual and mental side of man can function in a physical world orrly through a physical body. That makes it a primary concern of man to keep his body alive and, what is more, keep it as well and strong as possible, an effective in strument for the service of God and man. With his emphasis on the physi cal, man tends, when sickness comes, to seek the help of man in overcoming the difficulty. Soon they find that only God is sufficient for their need, and He whom they have hitherto ignored is appealed to in prayer. Men and organizations quick to grasp an opportunity to set themselves forward appear as so called faith healers. We need to stress the fact that men may come direct to Christ who is concerned about their bodies and their health and that they may come without in termediary, simply by faith in Him. I. The Outreach of Faith (vv. 2-fl). Three things appear here and they each have value and importance. 1. Action (vv. 2-5). The centurion was a good man and so kind toward the Jews that he had built them a synagogue. (One wonders whether a Roman soldier of today would show such a spirit). He was compassion ate, stirred by the illness of a slave. He had a need which no man could meet. Where should he turn? Some one told him about Jesus. Blessed and fruitful testimony 1 He acted in faith and sent word to the Master. He acted on his knowledge. Let your faith also become active. 2. Humility (vv. 6, 7). Socially and officially the centurion was far above Jesus, but he recognized His Lordship and knew himself to be un worthy that Christ should enter his house. True faith is humble. It has nothing to do with the brazen commanding of God which some seem to regard as such a magnifi cent evidence of faith. Watch for the mark of genuine and courteous humility if you would find men and women of faith. 3. Confidence (vv. 7, 8). There is nothing like this assurance of faith anywhere; in fact, Jesus said He had not seen it in all Israel. Know ing the manner in which his com mands were carried out within the realm of his authority and recog nizing Jesus as the Son of God, the centurion without hesitation accept ed His absolute power over sickness. "Thank God! the centurion was right about that. Sickness is ab solutely subject to the word of Jesus and so also are demons, sea and wind, and death itself (Luke 4:35, 36, 39; Mark 4:39; John 11:43, 44)" (Bradbury). 11. The Reward of Faith (vv. 9-15). First of all we note that faith in God brings not only the individual but those round about him a real 1. Blessing (v. 9). The faith of this man delighted the heart of Je sus with a great joy. He commented on it and commended it to those round about. The story of it has come down through the centuries to stir us and stimulate us to belief in Christ. Faith in Him brings bless ing, not only to the immediate bene ficiary and at the moment, but lives on in blessing to others. Do we have that kind of faith? We also note that it resulted in 2. Healing (v. 10). Faith gets re sults because it releases the omnipo tence of God. The young man was healed at the word of Jesus, in re sponse to the centurion's faith. In the closing verses of our lesson we see also the S. Raising of the Dead (w. 11-15). The mighty and compassionate Son of man met a poor widow from whom death had taken her only stay and comfort—a young man. She was apparently too deeply stricken to even call on Jesus for help, but one can almost feel her faith leap to His words, "Weep not." His divine voice then reached into the next world and called the young man back to life. The day that had start ed as the saddest and darkest in her life closed as the most blessed and joyful in her experience, be cause she had met Jesus. Reader, have you met the tender, loving, omnipotent Jesus? He wants to be your Saviour, Lord, and ever present friend. Will you let Him into your heart? Now? A Wise Evaluation What things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowl edge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I h£ve suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.—PhiL 3:7, & Dee-vine Jumper In Pinafore Style IUNIORS arc simply mad about ** jumpers this season, and their great favorite is the pinafore jumper!
