WEEKLY SERMOXET WANTED: Gratitude By REV. MARK OSBORNE, JR. The writer of the third Gospel, tells of ten sick people who heard ! about the wonderful way m which Jesus was healing those who were | ill and that they went to him for help. Their request was granted. They were healed of one of .the: world's most terrible diseases, but when it came to thanking Jesus for what he had d^ne, only a single person out of all ten returned (and he w a#* native of despised Sa maria;" Jesus asked me question to which anyone with even a slight degree of imagination is tempted to ask: "Where are the nine?" Why did they not come? Is it possible that they were selfish and hard of heart? Very likely they shouted and gave thanks to God all the way home. But they did not give thanks to Jesus. They glorified God, but forgot the visible Agent. They forgot that a Man had healed them, with a man's capacity to feel the sting of ingratitude. They had not fully discharged their debt though they might have given thanks to God every day through out the rest of their lives. Until they had paid their thanks to Jesus, by telling him to his face, by seeking even in the most min ute details to obey him, they were crude, unjust, and ungrateful to him. Several years ago ip a little com munity in the eastern part of our state a young man attended fairly regularly with his good, Christian wife the 'services during a series of revival meetings. He felt the conviction of his unbelief and CONSTIPATION Risky in BAD COLDS Aetained undigested food becomes putrefactive, causes toxins, which overload the liver and other vital or gans of the body, lessening your re sistance to colds and other winter ills and interfering with their treatment. Why take this chance when you can take Calotabs? Calotabs thoroughly (yet pleasantly act on every foot of Smr intestines, sweeping out toxin den putrefactive foods and virus laden mucus, enabling you to more effectively avoid or fight a cold. Noth ing acts?like good old Calotabs. Use as directed. 10c and 25c at all druggists. Take CALOTABS eventually found the peace which he so much needed. He followed Jesus in baptism, but this is about where his conversion ended. To the writer's best knowledge that ceremony was the last religious service that the man has attended until this day. Is he unique, an ex ception in the realm of Christian ity? Unfortunutelyhe is not an ex ception but a glowing example of that host of ungrateful humanity even in our own midst. These men are debtors, though it may be un consciously, to the same Spirit of Christ that inspires all that is good and true in organized Christianity. But they do not pay the homage of their presence, their means, their prayers, their labors to the organized bodies which represent the visable aspect of Christ in the world. It is only narrow-minded ness and ignorance of the most pa thetic variety which would lead anyone to be numbered among the thousands who appear to have I made up their minds that they can I get along quite well without the I Church. They have been healed and helped by what the ChurCh has guarded and kept in the world just as truly as those who have re turned to worship. . If God puts it into your friend's heart to do you a tremendous kindness, your friend would not feel that you had dealt fairly with the situation if you gave thanks only to God. He would expect, and have a right to expect, some grati tude,. some recognition of him. Ob serve that Jesus was hurt by the ingratitude of the lepers but that he did not send after them as we would a discourteous child, say ing, "Isn't there something you have forgotten?" They got their blessing and went off thankless. Christ suffered the slight. Like its Master the Church suf fers the slight. Meantime there are those who do come, the Samari 1 tans, as it were, who have that in their hearts which needs expres sion to Jesus Christ. To these he is not only Good Physician, but Saviour and Lord. These, like the Samaritan, have heard the words that dealt with the deeper needs of the soul: "Arise, go thy way, thy faith hath made thee whole."
