After his talk with the Samaritan1, woman and a two-day stay in Sychar.l Jesus and his disciples went on to t Galilee and, from there, to Cana, where he had performed his first mir acle.. 'V. '-r.

He healed the boy and told the father that his boy would live. Tha fottiai. Tiallaveii. Went home and found that his son had begun to get well the very hour that Jesus had told him his son was healed. This brines John's account of the action of Jesus down to this week's lesson, which tells of two other mir acles which Jesus performed. Going down to Jerusalem, to observe a feast of the Jews, Jesus passed a pool by the sheep market, a pool which the Jews called 'Bethzatha. Because of certain healing qualities in the waters of the pool, great multitudes of sick people the blind, the halt and the withered gathered there in order that they might dip themselves in the wa ters and be healed. 1 There, Jesus beheld a man who had been sick for thirty-eight yean and who had become almost helpless be cause he was unable to dip himself in the pool without help and no one of fered to help him. Yet, the mere fact tof his being there testified to his de sire that he might be made well again.' In order to make him conscious of his own hope and faith, Jesus asked him, "Wilt thou be made whole? "The man then called Jesus' attention to the fact that no one was interested enough in him to assist him into the water. Jesus told the man to help himself, when he commanded: "Rise, take up thy bed and walk." The man, with out .hesitation or doubt as to his abili ty to do so, immediately arose, took up his' bed and walked. Jesus passed on through the crowd and entered the temple. ' It so happened that this miracle of healing was performed on the Jewish '. Sabbath day. When the Jews saw the man walking with his bed, or roll, un- der his arm, they informed him that he was breaking the Sabbath. The man answered that he who had healed him had commanded him to take up his bed, but he admitted that he did not know who it was who had healed him. : Later, when Jesus saw the man in the temple; he reminded him that he was now physically whole and to sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon him. The man then knew that it was Jesus who had healed him and told the Jews this. Angered, the Jews sought to slay Jesus because he had done these things on the Sabbath day. Making matters worse, Jesus anger ed the Jews still further by stating that he was doing the work of "My Father." ' This infuriated ; them so greatly that they sought to kill him even more desperately because he had Hot only broken the Sabbath, but had also claimed that God was his Father, thus making himself equal with God. After entering into a discourse with the Jews, in which he pointed out thei grounds upon which he based his claim to Messiahship, Jesus left Jeru salem and crossed the Sea of Galilee, seeking rest. :, - While it must be admitted that Je bus was always interested in man's physical health, it is a little difficult to give a temperance application to i this particular lesson. Most such les sons deal with intemperance In the. ' use of beverage alcohol, and too much cannot be written or said against such indulgence. The modern trend today is to' con sider the alcoholic, or the one who over-indulges in the drinking of alco i holic beverages, a sick person. , Per haps alcoholism is a disease, one of . this nation's most deadly A diseases. Herbert Eberhardt, in United Evan gelical Action, has this to say, in part: "Alcoholism is a primary cause of poor health and the most deadly of all diseases in the living body. To ' quote Clinton N. Howard of the Inter- national Reform Federation, 'It is the only disease that defiles the body, sub jects the will, deranges the mind, im poverishes the victim and damns the soul. Gladstone said that its victims exceeded war, pestilence and famine put together.' , Tuberculosis will not lead a man to maltreat his children, -but alcohol does. . Polio does not lead to heax .iu&iking crashes on our high ways, mutilated bodies and broken homes, but drunkenness does. Heart ; disease will not pl?ce a man behind v prison bars and pack 'jails and hospi tals, but alcoholism is the chief source of crime and the major convnter of - arzla. It is, therefore, ttu!J3 toy cf r..l other diseases combined," I ! 1 if . "A ;S? WORLD, I : I TROUBLE ' -V f ttita tnarvalmia world of ours in this twentieth century of Ood's grace?
