Jesus gave per sonal attention to this man. Some times a friendly hand and a word of encouragement is the best of medicine. People become lonely, discouraged and defeated. This man had been ignored and neg lected. Perhaps sin had warped both body and mind until he had become an unlovely personality. Although men shunned him Jesus loved him and had compassion on him. “DO You Want to Be Healed?” That seems to be an unnecessary question. Jesus knew what was in the heart. Perhaps this man had fallen so low through sin and shame that he rather enjoyed be ing an object of pity. Sometimes people enjoy being sick. The man answered the Master’s question. He began to murmur and complain. Others who came to the pool to be healed ruthlessly pushed this man aside and stepped down before him. He was forced to wait for another day—another week—an other year — until thirty-eight years had passed. ‘‘Rise, Take Up Thy Bed and Walk.” What a command to be SA VE! ! !

BUILDERS' SUPPLIES BLACK MOUNTAIN, N.C. m given to a sick, helpless invalid, He had been unable to walk for many years. It was absurb to ex pect him to carry a bed. The posi tive command caused the man to snap to attention. There was noth ing mysterious about this healing —no “hokus-poku?” of a charla tan; no grandstand play for pub licity; no wild, weird emotionalism The man was healed at once. He jumped to his feet and walked away carrying his bed. The Jews Objected to Such Con duct on the Sabbath. They had ignored the sick, helpless man for thirty-eight years but as he walks down the street with a bed on his back they stop him. He was doing something unlawful. They were more interested in keeping the laws and traditions of men than in healing sick people. They were indignant and upbraided the man. A Ciood Answer. The healed man answered with words of wis dom and authority. “He that made me whole, the same said un to me, Take up thy bed and walk." That was all the authority he needed. But those men with legal istic minds and a yen for outward appearances were not satisfied. They insisted on finding the man responsible for breaking the Sab bath and encouraging others to disregard this sacred custom. Jesus Had Disappeared and could not be found. The man who had been healed did not know his benefactor. How human—walking for the first time in thirty-eight years and did not know the man who was responsible for such blessings. He belonged to the mil lions >vho are thoughtless and ungrateful. All the wonderful blessings of life come from the bountiful hands of a merciful God. Far too often we enjoy the gifts and forget the Giver. Christ Found the Man In the Temple and told him to sin no more lest something worse should befall him. He had been healed for righteous living and grateful service. His only hope for righte ous living was through active ser vice for the Lord. It has always been easy for idle men and wo men to drift into sin. When the Jews Discovered that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath they persecuted Him. Christ ex plained "My Father worketh hith erto and 1 work.” Then they sought to kill Him for He had blasphemed against God—attempt ed to make Himself equal with God. Our Lesson has been selected for a temperance emphasis. The Lord expects us to be sober and tem perate in all things. The alcoholic is intemperate and is sick in body and sinful in soul. The Great Physician is his only hope. The church should help lead sick and sinful alcoholics into the loving presence of the Master who can heal and redeem. Something To Think About: 1. Why is drunkenness both sin and sickness? 2. What is the relation of tem perance to health ? 3. What is the attitude of a good football coach toward alco hol? > CHURCH NOTICES ST.
