, POWER OVER SICKNESS AND DEATH
(Luke 7:11-23)
Out of compassion Christ repeatedly and freely used His
great power to help those in need. Two cases are described
in this lesson. ,
Power Over Death Luke 7:11-17
As Christ, attended by His disciples and others, ap
proached Nain, they came upon a scene of gloom and
sadness. A funeral procession emerged on the way to the
cemetery. The corpse was wrapped carefully in linen and
then laid on an open bier within plain view of all. The bier
was borne by friends who relieved each other at frequent
intervals. .:
Death never seems so cruel as when it cuts off one in the
prime of life, as in the case of the only son of a widow. The
broken-hearted mother was weeping because the center of
her affections had been taken a way.
Observing the grief of the mother, Christ pitied her. The
only appeal made to Him was that of the sorrow of a
mother's heart.
While an of the circumstances pleaded on her behalf, the
tears of the mother touched Christ's heart. He insisted that
the bereaved mother not weep because He was about the
remove the cause of her sorrow.
Without ceremony or display Christ walked over and
touched the bier. Those who bare it stood still, filled with
wonder and expectation. They realized they were in the
presence of One Who had the right to stop them, even on
their way to the tomb. They waited to hear what He had to
say. It was thought that He had defiled Himself, inasmuch
as touching a bier was equivalent to contact with a leper.
That quiet voice said: "Young man, I say unto thee, Arise."
To the astonishment of all the young man sat up and began
Obituary
GEORGE ELBERT COPELAND
Funeral services for George Elbert Copeland, S3, who
died Jan. 27 in Meadow Brook Hospital in East Meadow,
L.I., N.Y., were held Saturday, Jan. 29 at 2:30 p.m. in the

Moore officiated.
A native of Belvidere, he was the son of the late George
Anderson and Mattie Norfleet Copeland.

age. As a young adult, he settled in Virginia and in later
years moved to New York. He was employed by George's
Buick in Hempstead, N.Y. -and was a self-employed
automobile salesman in Wyandanch, N.Y.
Survivors include a daughter, Renae Copeland of Wyan
danch, N.Y.; three sisters, Mrs. Dorothy Welch of Long
Beach, N.Y., Mrs. Sarah Mae Riddick and Mrs. Camilla

talking. When Christ gave the young man back to his
mother, that terribly dark day became the most blessed in
her experience.
Power Over Discouragement Luke 7: 18-23 -
John the Baptist had been faithful in proclaiming Christ
as the Lamb of God Who had come to take away the sin of
the world, but he had not foreseen that the Saviour would be
rejected by the nation, and that His reign would not be
established forthwith. For his bold reproof of Herod and
Herodias for adultery, the preacher was imprisoned at
Machaerus on the eastern shore of the Dead Sea. While in
prison, John thought about Him Whom he had baptized in
the Jordan River. Since Christ had not done all that he had
expected Him to do, John was greatly perplexed.
In his discouragement John sent two of his disciples to the
Lord Jesus, "Art thou he that should come? or look we for
another?" Christ gave them a display of His divine ministry
of healing. Before their eyes Christ cured many in order to
prove His identity. Since "actions speak louder than
words," Christ could not have used any more eloquent
method of answering John's question. Chrsit sent the
messengers back to John the Baptist. They told of miracles
the like of which they had never seen. To John the Baptist
this was proof that Christ was the Messiah.

Creek Baptist School in Pineville, Ky. and is written by Dr
H.C. Chiles.
