JESUS BEGINS JUS MINISTRY Sunday, Jan. 19.—Matthew 4:12-15 Golden Text Repent: for the Kingdom of Hea ven is at hand.—(Matt, 4:17.) We must remember that each of the four Gospels has its own distinct and different plan, purpose and ob jective, inspired by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, one Gospel includes what anothor omits; and the same events may be given in different ordex* in the different Gospels. None of the Gospels is meant to be a complete biography of Christ; none of them follows strict chronological sequence of events. Their purpose is to bring out certain great facts about Christ, His teaching, and His work; and these facts are presented with dif ferent emphasis for the different audiences the writers had in mind. Therefore, if we wish to keep below us the entire history, so far as it is known, we must not limit ourselves to .Matthew this year other Gospels also, hand, we can limit ourselves Matthew, and gain a rich blessing by following just what he, inspired of the Holy Spirit, has written down. As a hint of the other biographi cal aixd historical facts, not given in Matthew, but included in this general period of time between the ending of the temptations by Satan jtfst 'after the baptism and ‘the preaching of the Sermon on the Mount, we find that John’s Gospel records several important events not mentioned by Matthew, includ ing the first firacle, at Canan of Galilee; the first cleansing of the temple; and our Lord’s immortal conversations with Nicodemus and with the woman ,at the well of Sa-f maria. (John 1:19 to 4:54.) j The imprisonment of John the Baptist by Herod meant that Christ’s public teaching met with open en mity and opposition, so He withdrew to the North, and made Galilee His place of ministry, He preached in the synagogue at Nazareth, and was met by such bitter opposition there, His own home town—(Luke 4:16- 30)—that He left the city and came to Capernaum, on the northwest ■shore of Sea of Galilee. Remembering that Christ was, and is, thQ light of the world—(Jn. 8:12)—it is one of the wonders of prophecy- that Isaiah had foretold, seven centuries earlier, that Christ the light was to come to this very T>art -of the land. Thd prophecy is found in Isaiah 9:1, 2; 'Christ is de scribed and unmistakably identified in , verses 6 axid 7 o*f that chapter. And Matthew tells us that this very prophecy was fulfiled when the Lord .came and dwelt in Capernaum (Matt. 4:13-16.) But Capernaum as .a city never ] healed them.” but read the On the other to turned tp Christ, never welcomed and received this light to replace her darkness; anti because of her rejec tion pf such infinite opportunity and privilege her judgment was, and is 'yet to he, unthinkably terrible—- worse than the judgment on Sodom, as oui’ Lord declared later in plain language. (Matt. 11:29, 23, 24.). A tremendous eternal crisis oc curred in the lives of four men at Capernaum. They were two pairs of brothers: Simon and Andrew, James and John. Jesus called them to follow Him, Would they do so? Suppose they had not done so? Try to get the class tp see, try tp see for yourself, what it would have meant to them if they had taken.the wrong turn in this stupendous in tlieir road just then. But took the right turn. They were fisherman, and busily engaged in what they doubt less thought was their life work. Si mon and Andrew were “casting a net into the sea’’ just then. A little later James and John, in a boat with Zebedee, their father, were “mend ing theii’ nets.’’ Simon and Andrew “straightway left theix* nets and fol lowed Him.’’ James and John “im mediately left the ship and their father, .and followed Him.” What a glorious answer they all made’- “Straightway”' and “immediately*' are good words to describe the obedience when God commands. Anything less than that means a great risk, perhaps incalculable loss. The first pair of brothers surren dered. their life work to follow the Lord Jesus Christ. The other two surrendered, not only their work, but also their father to fol low Him. No one can follow Him on any other .terms. (Matt. 10:37- 39.) | We do not always remember what tan immense nation-wide following the Lord Jesus had at this time in His ministry or what a tremendous impact upon vast numbers of people He made. The record here plainly declares it. Not only did He go about all Galilee, but “His fame went throughout all Syria,” the country to the north, and. “there fol lowed Him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from De- capolis and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, .and from beyon-d Jor dan.” These were great cities on both sides of the Jordan and Prov inces north and south. Why did they follow Him? Un doubtedly because of the countless miracles He • wrought. He healed “.all manner -of sickness and all man ner of disease among the people. . , . . They brought unto Him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases a,nd torments, and th-ose which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick and those that had. the palsy; and He fork they were life Those miracles of healing were the Exeter rink this .season took signs, credentials testifying to His place Monday evening.

That’s just what hundreds of people throughout the United States have been doing with Sargon, the new formula recently introduced in Canada. From all over America and where- ever Sargon 'lias been introduced, thousands of letters have been re ceived from grateful users telling of the gratifying results that have been .accomplished by this celebrat ed medicine. THOUSANDS EXPRESS GRATITUDE On November 27, 1929, a^ letter dated November 23, was received at the Sargon offices advising that in one week one drug firm alone had received orders fox* Sargon to be shipped to Cavite, Phillipino Is.; Cocoa Solo, Canal Zone; Belebrook, Ireland and Paris, Franco. Only recently a well-known resi dent of Denver, Colorado, who had been restored to health by Sargon, sent a full treatment to London, England, to his sister, who is wife of an executive of one of greatest retail drug firms in British Empire. During the past month there peared in the Toronto papers statement of; a well-known World War veteran whose health had been greatly impaired while ’in the ser vice, who stated among other things that he vowed his restoration to health to two bottles of Sargon sent him by" a friend in Minneapolis. LETTER RECEIVED FROM THE NORTHWEST From Minneseta and Wisconsin and throughout the Northwest, many letters of this kind have been re ceived advising that users of Sar gon are sending it to relatives bark in their old countries of Sweden and Norway. .Many such letters and endorse ments have been received from .men of prominence, including former governors, business .and profession al men, mayors,'state and county .of ficials and even Ministers of the Gospel who have deemed it their duty to come forward and tell what Sargon lias done for them. Only a short time ago, for in stance, the vice-president of one of the South’s largest corporations walked into a Memphis drug store and purchased his sixth bottle of Sargon. He had taken three bottles himself and stated that he had re ceived such wonderful benefit from it, he was getting the other for relatives and friends. FOUR MEN IN ONE FIRM— ARE TAKING- IT Another well-known business man who had also been greatly benefit ed by Sargon, recommended it to his business associates and employees foul’ different men, in .one, ? tak in a the res rigiiially s< are only f such c pleasure again, so that firm are mont as bottle or These sands oi arisen since Sarg the market in April, 1928.
