'tk. r::-- PI 1 IV I'- J ' LESSQII : JESUS FACES OPPOSITION ' v International Sunday-Schbol Lesson ', , For February 13 , s Memory Selection: "Do not be OTercome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Romanij 12 :21. J f Lesson Text: Mark 2:3-8; 16-17; 3:1-6. . t One .of the most striking miracles of Jesus was Mie healing of the man g sick of the palsy, brought to him by lour devoted friends, all five having in their hearts, the faith so neces sary for great achievement. Jesus was busy as "he spake the :?, word" unto the crowded company in the Capernaum home. He had eager listeners; hurriedly gathering whenl they discovered Jesus had returned from his recent swing around Galilee. .. The effect of Jesus' ministry had already had its influence felt far and . wide by this second summer of activ ity.: The religious leaders of Jeru.- aalem had been aroused by this new doctrine) Already critical' of their own religious leadership and sincerity, and had sent .their emissaries to Caper naum to scout out this teacher and discover some flawin his, life or doc trine with Which they could discredit him. When the four friends brought the SaUied sufferer to the house where Jesus wag, ihey were blocked away by the crowd, but, full of persistent faith, they lowered him down from the roof, placing him immediately in front of Jesus, attracting his notice ' both to their belief in his power and their devotion to the sufferer.. Jesus always rewards faith and fidelity so. ' here he 'addressed to the patient words forgiving his sins.' . The scribes from Jerusalem took note this' lay-preacher dared to as sume divine power, that .'of remitting human sin against , divine command. This, they readily reasoned, was blas phemya serious ecclesiastical crime then as it was later dn the Dark Ages. How often have the assumed and assured upholders of truth been revealed by history as selfish, preju diced enjoyers of privilege which warped their judgment and discern ment. l Jesus knew the thoughts of his cri tics and accepted the challenge. No body could disprove his spiritual miracle of forgiving sins, which gave no outward signs, but "that yfe may know that the SBoi of Man hath au thority on earth to forgive sins," he would perform the visible, physical care of the body of the sufferer. This done, it was not strange that those , who witnessed it were "amazed and glorified God." Various other incidents brought about the continued condemnation of ihe Pharisees. Levi was .called from the seat of custom to follow Jesus, end assumed his new name, Matthew, "the, gift of Kxoa. ine Koman tax system was iniquitous. JThe higher imperial of ficers charged with tax collecting farmed out the local privilege to oth ers who were more or less compelled to extort duties from the surrounding population in order to pay for. the privilege. ; These collectors were call - ed publicans and usually made money (Concluded on Page Two) l ' f ' 1 ?S J l !

Even if the puppy keeps a respectful distance, the house is quite likely to fall before it Is finished. But it will haye served its purpose. It will have given this child entertainment and manual dex terity. What matters a great deal more is another struc ture this child is building the invisible edifice of character. Will its foundation be deep and solid? Will the structure be strong and beautiful? Will it stand the strain of years of living? Will it stand firm if the fierce winds of misfortune blow and the rains descend upon it? Fortunate is this child if in these early, forma tive years she is surrounded with the influences that help build strong character. Chief among such character-building influences has ajways been the Church. Within its walls the child learns rever ence, truthfulness, honesty, fair play, unselfishness. onmcH FOB All Th CWh ! . . why unty ,,. rial upport. Pin, Jml1Bf church rcgula,).
