L.: national Sunday School Lesson : fwr February 27, MSbV,,"" GOLDEN TEXT: , "Bow much ' then is man of mora value than a twine 1" Matthew 12:12. (Lessen Text: Mark S:l-7.) ; In an effort to get away from the crowds for little Voile and to ao ' eure some muchneeded wet, Jesus s and hie discinles cot into ft boat and besan. to row .across the Lake of - .Galilee, - Tired, Jesus went to sleep. It was during this crossing that. one of the sadden ; storms vwhkh swept down from, the surrounding moun tains, turned the sea into raging . waters and threatened to overturn the small craft, Frightened, the discip les awakened Jesus, who,, after re buking them . for their unnecessary fear, spoke to the waves, calming them. Shortly thereafter, Jesus and his disciples landed on the eastern side of the Lake, on the shore of the country of the Gerasenes. Hardly had they put foot on land than "a man with an unclean spirit'' ran to Jesus, casting 4 himself before him. This is not the first time in Mark's Gospel that our attention is turned to demon-possessed men. While ad mittedly we do not profess to under stand just what is meant by "an un clean spirit," we surely have seen examples of men and women, too, who apparently were being controlled, body and soul, by the spirit of evil. However, the main point for our consideration is the fact that -although possessed; by evil, this man, on seeing Jesus, recognized his need of him and ran to him. The evil spir its within him, also recognizing Jesus, begged him not to "torment" them. Thus we see this man torn between the desire to be cleaned and the un willingness of the demons to depart. All of us are conscious of the war between good and evil that is going on within us all the time. Our man ner of living is determined by the out come of this constant battle. David James Burrel says, "We observe in this Gadarene the struggle of two personalities; one of them was the demon, crying 'What have I to do with thee, thou Son of the Most High God t Why art thou come to torment me?' The other was the man him self, who, knowing his desperate case and longing to he delivered, ran toward Jesus. , There is a like strug gle in every man, a war in our mem bers,' as Paul called it The influence of Satan is ever holding us back from Christ, while our better nature would xsaaaasTVf nuuv ve vvwa uawt nwwaw , . a i:. 1 Let us yield to our nobler impulses. 1 Let us open the door to Christ and bid him enter. He will sweep and garnish our souls: he will sprinkle ' his blood upon the lintels, and make us temples meet for the indwelling of the Spirit of God." Realizing the determination of Jesus to save this man, the demons begged that they be not utterly de- stroyed but that they be allowed to; enter a neni or swine tnat was ieea- jng on a nearuy nuu , viranieu per-. mission, the unclean spirits left the man. The swine, perhaps frightened by the loud shrieks and wild if68" i tures of the maniac began to run down the steep incline, plunged head-' long into the sea and were drowned. As Soon as word of this was car-! ried to the owners of the Swine, a large crowd rushed to the scene. Amazed, they saw the maniac sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. Instead of rejoicing in the healing of this poor man, how-' ever, their main thought was the ma-', terial loss they had suffered to bring this cure about Fearful lest , they, suffer even greater loss, they begged Jesus to 'depart out of their country, In seeking to save their. they lost an opportunity to save their. souls. in consmenng uis, we are prone w, .j 'i-. condemn' the short-sightedness of the Gerasenes, ' who . apparently valued property mora than they did an in dividual life. Yet are . there not many today who would rather lose their souls than their ' wealth; Who would rather ask Christ to depart from their lives than to give up their possessions, even though they are ruining their immortal souls in ac quiring them? Before ..condemning the . Gerasenes, let us be sun we are not doing likewise.' , Jesus was much more interested in people than herwas in things. His , only apparent interest in the material - was in, its , effect ' upon . individuals. - Is it not necessary then, , that Chris tiana, as followers of Jesus' - should , tryct joek upon life as he did and to Judg its ; standard as nedidf Are there sot many . .Christians ., who would do well to spend less thought on the material and more on telling of ih power of Jesus Christ to make the foulest clean? Jesus is still able , to drive demons from the hearts of : ; men and no one will deny that there - are many demons ; that need - to be alrlvMi " 4m!L Hiri , (a the drink demon, the gambling demon, the de-' ' mon of, covetoueness, the demon of , . unbelief in God and in the, Bible. These are only a few of the many. Does any one of them possess you 'and do yon want deliverance?; Jesus is willing and able to cleanse all who will come unto him, asking deliver- ance,m3;:M A ' W-w-.
