The hydro system calls for 176 lights costing about $2640. the relieving ceXtprion A Gentile Whose Faith Jesus Commended Sunday, November 16—Matthews 8:5-13., Golden Text And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from rhe south, and shall sit down in the Kingdom of God. (Luke 13:29.) Faith and humility in a military man have a special appeal. General "Chinese” Gordon was such a man, a true commander anti a true Chris­ tian. The centurion of Capernaum was such a man. A centurion was a Roman com­ mander of 100 men. Roman gar­ risons were everywhere throughout Rome’s vast empire, and in Pales­ tine doubtless they were not popular being ever-present reminders of the subjection of the Jews -by Rome. But here was a Roman military officer whom the Jews loved. For he loved them. Luke’s account of the incident throws light on this. The elders of •the Jew’s besought -the Lord Jesus Crhist to do what the centurian ask­ ed, giving as their reason that he was "worthy for he loveth our nation and he hath built us a synagogue.” He reminds one of that other cen­ turion, Cornelius of Caesarea, "a de­ vout man. and one that feared God with all his house, wlijch gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always” (Acts 10:2). These men evidently feared God and lived righteously according to their light. They must have seen that the Jews were indeed God’s chosen people, and they respected them for this. Moreover the centurion of Caper­ naum had unquestioning fajth in the Lord Jesus Christ. He may not have known that He was the Son of God; but up to the limit of what he did know about Christ he trusted Him implicitly. So he asked the Lord to heal his servant who was lying "at home sick of the palsy, grievously, tormented,” Another lovable train in the centurion was his love for his servant. Luke tells us that this ser­ vant "was dear unto him.” And the physician Luke adds the word that the servant was "ready to die.” It was a case of desperate illness. The centurion had a heart of love as w’ell as a heart of faith.. What does the Lord do fn response to this pleading request? "I will come and heal him.” Were ever words more welcome to human ears? Let us not forget that the Lord speaks these same words to all who seek His spiritual healing. He has never denied any one who camo to Him. Nov.’ the humility of the military man comes out, as ho says: "Lord I am not worthy that Thou shouldst come under my roof; but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man under au­ thority, having soldiers under me; and I say to this man, go, and he goeth; and to another. Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, do this, and he doeth it.” TRUMBULL, Litt. D„ The .centurion fplt tliat what he could command with authority' in his sphere C HA the Lord Jesus Christ, could » unpaid with authority in His sph re of Ijfe, But it is inter­ esting to nut- che expression "a man under authority.” For the man who is udner authority knows how to ex­ ercise authority. The man who is accustomed to obeying orders knows how to give orders. And also the men under authority represents the very authority that lie js under; it is delegated to him, so that he exer­ cises it in passing on -orders to others. As we, having received Christ, as Saviour and Lord, are under His Lordship, He authorizes us to claim and exerejse His own power by faith in whatever ways it may be needed. The centurion may not have known, indeed, that the Lord Jesus Himself, looked to the Father for i His authority, as He declared over and over agaii\: "I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father which sent Me, He gave Me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak” (John 12:49.) The centurion rejoiced the heart of the Lord. His faith was a joy, a marvel, to the Lord, for we read that he "marvelled.”. No wonder He said to those wjth Him: "Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.” The centurion was not an Israelite, but his faith rebuked the utter lack of faith in most of the Jews. So the Lord continued with the prophetic word that many not of Israel, but "from the east and west,” should be in the Kingdom wjth the Jewish fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, while many "children of the King­ dom” by birth would, because of their lack of faith in their own Mes­ siah, have to be "cast out into out­ er darkness.” A brief word from the Lord to the centurion spoke volumes. "Go thy way; and as thou -has -beljeved, so be it done unto thee.” ’The Lord took the centurion at his word and healed the servant without going to the house. For the Incident ends: "And his servant was. healed in the self-same hour.” Luke, the physi­ cian,, records that when they return­ ed to the house they "found the ser­ vant whole that had been sick.” He was not better; he was well. God would work more wonders than Ho does if we trusted Hpn more than we do. "Thy faith hath made thee whole,” said the Lord to a sick, woman who trusted Him (Mat. 9:22.) 'Of two blind men who cried out for healing the Lord said, "Be­ lieve ye that 1 am able to do this?” When they answered: "Yea, Lord,” He touched tlieir eyes .and healed them, sayjng, “According to your faith be it unto you.” God longs to be trusted; He loves to he trusted. There is nothing we can do to rejoice His heart like trusting Him, really believing that He means what He says, really be­ lieving pi His love, His power, His grace Why do we ever doubt Him? Is He not trustworthy? Has He ever failed any one who trusted Him? “If our love were but more simple We should take Him at His word; And our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord.” Stye Exettr fimta-Aiwiirafr Established 1873 and 1887 Published every Thursday morning* at Eixeter, Ontario SUBSCRIPTION—-$2.00 per yeaj pl advance.
