Phone 144 Tliis whole chapter of St. Luke lolls us how He lived, going about healing those who were sick in body, raising a man !Yym the dead and returning him to his mother's arm*: forgiving those who had sinned be cause they repented and believed in Him. In last week's lesson wo left Him surrounded by a multitude and tell ing them t!if rules of the abundant lite, such as doing to others as they would be done by; loving their uu mies and doing good to them, eac. When lie had finished this talk He went to the town of Capernaum at the north end of the Sea of Galilee. There some Jewish elders came to Him. having been sent by a certain centurion (a Roman soldier) because a servant whom he loved was des perately ill. and he wanted Jesus to make him well. The elders told Jesus that the centurion was a worthy man. showing his liking for the Jews by building them a synagogue. Jesus went with them, but when they neared the house, they were met by friends of the centurion who had been sent with a message to the Master. The centurion, they said, did not feel he was worthy to receive Jesus in his house or to come to I Him. But he believed that if Jesus would but say the word, his ser- J vant would be healed. He reminded j Jesus that he. too. was a leader able : to command and be obeyed. Jesus Marvels at Faith. Here was a Roman, one who had never seen Jesus, but who had more faith than His own people. Jesus marveled at him and. turning to His followers. He said: "I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel." The friends, return ing to the house, found the servant liea led. Soon after this Jesus went to the town of Nain. 25 miles from Caper naum. and as they neured the city gates, a funeral procession met them. A poor widow had lost her only son by death, and her friends were with her. trying to console her. Jesus must have been filled with pity, and He said to her, "Weep not." He came nearer and touched the bier on which the young man was laid and said. "Young man. I say unto thee. Arise." And the youth who was dead sat up and begun to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. The people who saw the miracle were almost lrigitened, but they glorfied God and said that God had visited His people. There things were told all through the countryside and it was whispered about that here was a great prophet. John the Baptist was in prison, you remember. having rebuked Herod for wrong doing, and he, too, heard of Jesus' words and deeds. He sent two of his disciples to Jesus to ask if He really was the Messiah, or "look we for another?" John was naturally unhappy and in low spirits in his dungeon, and in this condition lie probably began to doubt that the Christ he had hailed and baptized might not be the One all his peo ple had been looking for. These friends of John's witnessed numerous miracles, and Jesus sent them back to John with the answer: "Tell John what things ye have seen and heard." and "blessed is he, who soever shall not be offended in me." Meaning that His acts and words should convince John that He was indeed the Son of God. whose com ing John had prophesied. Tender Toward sinners. is lold in another scene related in •lesus' tenderness toward sinners this lovely chapter from St. Luke. A Pharisee, a man who thought him tii much above the common Jew, invited Jesus to his house to dinner. When they were all eating, reclining in the Hebrew manner of the time on couches, leaning on one elbow with their heads toward the table, their feet extended outward, a wo man of the streets came in with an alabaster box of ointment in her hand. She went-up to Jesus and, weeping, she caressed His feet, washing them with her tears, dry ing them with her long hair, kissing them, and anointing them with the precious ointment. The Pharisee was horrified. He did not associate with such people. Jesus, reading his mind, told him a parable. There was a man to whom two men owed money. He said. One owed him a good deal, the other a smaller sum. Neither could pay, so he forgave them both. Which, Jesus asked, would feel most gratitude, the one who owed a good deal or the one that owed little? The one that owed the most, said Simon. You ; re right, said Jesus, but when I en tered you:- house you gave me no water for my feet; you did no', give me the ceremonial kiss of welcome; you did not pour oil on my head as is the custom to honor a guest. But this woman you call wicked wash ed my feet with tears of repentance, dried them with her hair, and pour ed precious ointment upon them. "Wherefore 1 say unto thee, her : ins. which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little." And to the woman He said: Thy sins are forgiven Thy faith hath ! saved thee; go in peace." And those who sat at meat with ; Him asked themselves, "Who is this j | that forgiveth sins?" Babson Expects Policy Of Price-Fixing Soon, (Continuer From Page One) over. Priority orders will be the ord er of the day. What About Wars? During the hist world war, I was an assistant to the secretary of Labor in Washington. I saw the selfish at tempts both of capital and labor to make abnormal profits while their brothers were in the trenches in France. We are not going to see a j repetition of this situation during World War II. The present Congress j has already put a tight roof on the | profits of capital. The administra- j tion is giving good advice to labor j leaders that they watch their step or they will be handled roughly like- , wise. Labor, however, will insist upon j wage raises consistent with any ( laises in the cost of living. Thi.-; i means that to keep peace with labor j ;md to insure maximum production, j the cost of living must not get out ol' hand. Labor leade/s are watching the cost-of-living index as a cat watches a mouse. This is another reason for the administration to watch it likewise. What is the Answer? The answer to all the above is that we are headed inevitably for price fixing of some kind. This is being discussed in Washington as you are reading this column. The question is: shall we follow the pro gram of World War I by fixing the prices of only a few commodities at i fir.st, and then gradually inereajv | the number: <ir shall we 1'ix the price of everything at one time? This brings up again the question | :>f politics even though the election ■ is over! The agricultural districts ; want tho prices of manufactured i ?oods fixed: but not the prices of i farm products. Strong pressure is jeing put on the administration to Follow such a half-hearted policy. My own guess is that a "roof" will ho put on everything including favn products; but this roof will not fix Ihe price of everything at current quotations. The farmer will be al lowed more room in the "attic"' of | liis house. Prices not Everything. But during these coming months ! let us think not only of prices but j rn. -1*?: r.->n o rhr.r.~ct?r. Ir. :■ ct. ,-.r.".y through justice. truth, and charity can the price problem be solved satisfactorily. Price-! ixing legisla tion alone will develop oootlegging unless people's hearts are right. We worry about Europe and well we move. But as the people of Bri*:.:n j and Europe suffer materially, they i may be reborn spiritually. Let us ! be sure that, as we prosper ma- ' terinlly. our spiritual lives do not i go into reverse!
