A NEWS MAKER Let n« inoV’^t'Jesus’ twenty-four hour schedule; see how it bristles with front-page news. The activity begins at sunrise. Jesus was an early riser. We dis cover a little boat pushing out from the shore of the lake. It deposits Jesus and his disciples in Caperna um, his favorite rity. He proceeds at once to the house of a friend. The report spreads instantly that he is g. ' in town, and a crowd collects outside the gate—a poor palsied chap among them. The day’s work is at hand. Having slept soundly in the open air he meets the call with quiet nerves. He stoops down toward the sufferer. “Be of good cheer, my son,” he cries, “your sins are all forgiven/’ Sins forgiven! Indeed! The res pectable members of the audience draw back with sharp disapproval.

"What a blasphemous phrase,” they | exclaim. “Who authorized him to ; exercise the functions of God! What right has he to decide whose sins shall be forgiven?” I Jesus sensed rather than heard ! their protests. He never courted j controversy but he never dodged it; | much of his fame arose out of the reports of his verbal victories, i “What’s the objection?” he ex : claimed, turning on the dissenters. I “Why do you stand there*and criti | cize! Is it easier to say ,‘Thy sins ! be forgiven thee,’ or to say, ‘Arise, 'take up thy bed and walk?’ The j results are the same.” Bending ov ! er the sick man again he said: i “Arise, take up thy bed and go unto i thine house.” I The man stirred and was amazed | to find that his muscles responded. I Slowly, doubtingly he struggled to ) his feet, and with one great shout 1 of happiness started off, surrounded by his jubilant friends. The critics had received their answer, but they ! refused to give up. For an hour or more they persisted in angry argu ment, until the meeting ended in a tumult. .

One of those who had been at tracted by the excitement was a tax-collector named Matthew. Being | a man of business he could not stay ; through the argument, but slipped I away eafly and was hard at work ' when Jesus passed by a few minutes j before noon. | That was all. No argument; no j offer of inducements; no promise of i rewards. Merely “I want you;” and the prosperous tax-collector closed his office, made a feast for the bril liant young teacher and forthwith announced himself a disciple.

Matthew’s luncheon for Jesus fur ; nished the third "news” sensation. I It was not at all the kind of affair | which a religious teacher would be ! expected to approve. Decidedly it I was good-natured and noisy. No theological test was applied in ! limiting the invitation. No one stood at the entrance to demand | "What is your belief regarding the birth of Jesus?” Or, "Have you or j have you not been baptized?” The doors were flung wide, and along with the disciples and the respecta ble folks, a swarm of publicans and sinners trooped in. “Outrageous,” grumbled the wor thy folk. “Surely if this teacher had any moral standards he never would eat with such rabble.” They were shocked; but he was not. That he had condemned him self according to their formula wor ried him not a •whit. His liking for j folks over-ran all social boundaries; he just could not seem to remember i that some people are nice people; j proper people, and some are not. “Come, come,” he exclaimed to the Pharisees, “won’t you ever get over nagging me because I eat with these outsiders? Who needs the doc tor most—they that are well or they that are sick? “And here’s another thing to think about,” he added. “You lay j so much stress on forms and creeds and occasions—do you suppose God cares about all that? What do you 1 think he meant when he said: ”1 I will have mercy and not sacrifice?’, Take that home and puzzle over it.” . “Defends publicans and sinners . . \ Jesus of Nazareth Welcomes Them at Lunch . . .

You may be sure it was carried into hundreds of homes during the next few weeks, and formed the basis for many a long evening’s discussion. As the meal drew to its close there came a dramatic interruption—a ruler of the city made his way slow ly to the head of the table and stood silent, bowed by the terrible weight of his grief. That morning he had sat at his daughter’s bedside, clasp ing her frail white hand in his, watching the flutter of the pulse, trying by the force of his longing to hold that little life back from the precipice. And at last the doctors had told him that it was useless any more to hope. So he had come, this ruler, to the strange young man whose deeds of healing were the sensation of the day.
