Those are old questions. Here!

edge of a precipice? Would yoUV

or would you just HANG OVER
THH PRECIPICE?
We are all hanging over the edge!
of one steep precipice, called death, j
A great majority of us "just hang" ;
ana think about it very little.
What story of loneliness, despair ,
land, perhaps, jealousy, lies back of i
a dreadful murder and attempted^
(suicide reported from Lindsey, On-1

(years old, in her husband's absence, <
erected an improvised gallows, on j
which she hanged her two children (
aged seven anjpiglit. She then cut)
her throat, mrifwas found bleeding j
to death by her own husband when.
he returned to thcii; lonely, isolated 1
farm from "a visit to the city:" <
Afer she had hanged the children,
the mother dressed them in their

Then she cut her throat. She may 1
get well. The woman said nothing ,
'but "they are dead," when her hus

?The .Mission of Chrlatlanlty.
I. Jesus In th# Synagogue ( . 16).
On the Sabbath day He went Into
the synagogue according to His cua- j
tnm. lie no doubt went that day with j j
a new and definite purpose, but it 4a
rciresiung to Know that It was accordlog
to ilia habit.
11. Jesus Reading the Scripture*
(vv. 17-191. ,
1. The Book Handed to Him (v. 17). J
It was not only His custom to attend j ,
the place of worship but to take a part
in It. This privilege was not confined
to the rabbis (Acts 13ilft).
2. The Passage Read (Isaiah 61:1,
2). Most likely this passage was chosen
by Hhn with a specific purpose.
3. The Content of the Passage (vv. >
-18,19)(1)
The mission of the Messiah (v.
18). It was:
(a) To preach the gospei to the
poor. The good tidings which Jesus- s
proclaimed are peculiarly welcome to
the common people.
(b) To heal the broken-hearted.
The gospel of Christ peculiarly, meets
the needs of those whose hearts are
crushed by the weight of their own ,
sins or by the burden of sorrow and j
disappointment. . .
(c) To preach deliverance to^tlie I
captives. The gospel of Christ does i
i free from the slaV- i
j - ory of sin (John 8:30).
(d) Recovering of sight to rite
blind. Christ did actually make tTIose
who were physically blind to see (John
9:0> 7) and also opened the eyes of i
rhoso *) o were spiritually blind (I
' John u:'J0). . I
(e> To ^t liberty them that are j
j htfiisid. The power of Christ can free
the most utterly hopeless ones.
(f) To preach the acceptable yeRf \ i
! of .the Lord. The primary allusion is I
the year of Jubilee (I,cv. 25:8-10) in !
which all those in bondage were released.
i
(2) The special endow ment of the j
Messiah (V; .iS). . Tlie reason Why the !
Spirit was upon Him whs that He [
might fulfill specifically Ills Messianic
work. It whs not for the display *ft
power. The endue men t of the Holy
Spirit Is not for mere power's sake,
II). Jesus Expounding thc Scripture*
(vv. 20, 2\).
j I. He Closed the Rook and Sat j
| Down., It seems to have been the cus- J
I torn of the Jewish teachers to sit while
I teaching.
V. 'This Day Is This Scripture Ful- j
I filled." This statement Is no doubt but
| a gist of what He said.
IV. Jesus' Reception by the People
I (vv. 2230). ,
Their reception was characterized
oy?1.
Ignorant Prejudice (v. 22)< "Is
j nor this Joseph's son?" As If to suy,
"Tills Is our fellow townsman with
whom we have been acquainted for j
year*. Surely, therefore, He cannot hothe
Messiah."
2. Cnbellef as to His Supernatural j
Character (v. 23).. They challenged
; Him to exhibit examples of divine
j power as He had done In other place*, j
I 3. Personal Jealousy (v. 24). Jeal|
ousy prevents us from seeing the essential
worth of the men In our midst, j
Foreigners are more appreciative. A ;
prophet is not accepted at home, primarily
because he Is a prophet. ' j
Prophets were sent In times of moral I
and spiritual declination und their messages
were stern rebukes of sin. He
adduces two outstanding examples of ;
the willingness of foreigners to hellev* '
Ood.
(1) Elijah wa* sent to a widow nt '
Sareptfl (vv. 25'. 20). Many widows of
Israel were passed by doe, doubtless, to
' the fact that they would not have received
the prophet.
(2) Ntiaman, the foreigner, of many 1
lepers was fhe only one cleansed.
4. Violent Hatred (vv. 28-80). ThlK
comparison of the Jews to foreigner*
so stunned their pride that they madly
drove Him out of their city, jeven tried |
