Golden Text Repent: for the Kingdom Heaven is at hand. (Math. 4:17) 4: of weIn a little more than 300 words have an account of tne untque char­ acter, amazing influences, method of work, supernatural power and ac­ tivity, and nation-wide fame of the greatest man that ever lived. The events reported here took place al­ most two thousand years ago. The man died when He was in his early thirties, but letters and newspapers and legal documents and national and international covenants through­ out a large part of the world are dated in his memory: A.D., 1934, He was the greatest man wiai ever lived because he was more than man; God as well as man. Let us try to get the facts and teachings that are packed into this brief hitsorical re­ cord. It was still early in the public ministry of the Lord Jesus, but al­ most a year had passed since His wilderness experience of temptation that -we studied last week. He had been in Jerusalem and Judea, which are in the southern part of Spria, and now He heard that John the Baptist. His cousin, friend and special forerunner or herald, was cast into prison. Did He go at once to John with a message of comfort and assurance- had heard that John was cast into prison, He departed into Galilee,” going to Nazareth and Capernaum, some eighty miles to the north. It is just the opposite of what we would expect. But the Saviour of the world makes no mistakes-. Nor is He ever lacking in love; He so loved the world that He gave His life to save all. who believe. And He loved John and admired him; we shall have in a later lesson Christ’s tre­ mendous tribute: “Among them that are born of women there hath not arisen a greater than John the Baptist.” But there are times in the ex­ perience o?f G’od’s children when, for God’s own loving and' wise pur­ pose, the heavens seem as brass-, and God seems far away and unhearing. This must have seemed one of those times to John. He knows today, in the presence of his Lord, why it was best for Christ to do as He did and stay away. And now a prophecy was fulfilled “There are more direct and indirect quotations and references to the Old Testament in Matthew than Other New Testament book, 100 of them.” Seven centuries before “Now when Jesus in any about Christ Came to earth Isaiah had predicted by divirfP. inspiration, that, whereas God had'^fflicted the land of Zeb- Distressing Pams After Every Meal LOO For the past 55 years MANUFACTURED ONLY BY THE T.

Kindyball, East Kildonan, Man., writes:—“Some time ago I suffered distressing pains in my stomach. After eating my meals the pains would be something awful. I decided to tty a bottle Of Burdock Blood Bitters and after finishing it I felt very much relieved, and after having taken three bottles I found the pains had completely left me?* uuln and the land of Naphali . . . beyond Jordan, in Galilee, of the nations,” this people that walked in darkness should see a great light, and the lights should shine upon those dwelling in the land of the Shadow of death (Isaiah 9:1-2,) Again, Isaiah prophesied that when th© Messiah should 'come God would give Him (for a light of the Gentiles’ (Isa. 42:6.) We read these very words in this lesson in Matthew, when Christ came from Nazareth to live in Capernaum, and the 'pro­ phecy was fulfilled in tne exact geo­ graphical region named by Isaiah, when, “the people which sat in the dankness saw a great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.” The detailed and liberal fulfil­ ment of hundreds of Old Testament prophecies in the New Testament is one of the unanswerable evidences of the divine inspiration of the Bible, -Christ, walking by the sea of Gal­ ilee, saw two brothers, fishermen, casting a net, and Ho said to them; “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.” Simon Peter and Andrew were their names. They had come to know Jesus almost a year earlier, as John’s Gospel tells us. (John 1:315-42.) At that time they had begun to believe that Jesus was the Messiah of Israel. Now, at his definite call to service, “they straightway left their nets and fol­ lowed him.” He was giving them the greatest call any man 'can have; to bring souls out of death into salvation and life. The Greek verb used in the ac­ count of another incident, in Luke 5, 10, sho>ws that Christ there said, literally; “From henceforth thou shalt take men alive.” The Lord saw two other fisher­ men brothers, Jameis and John, in a boat with their father mending their nets, and He gave them the same call. “And they immediately left the ship and thesr rather, and followed Him.” The instant obedience of these four disciples to the call of the Sav­ iour is impressive, And it is the way of blessing, How much richer our lives would be, how many disap­ pointments and failures and sorrows we should avoid, if we obeyed Word instantly. Then the Lord made a torn* of entire Province of Galilee, and public ministry included three dif­ ferent things: Teaching. Preaching the Gospel of the King- .dom. Healing every kind of siakness. His teaching must have f included opening the Old Testament (Scrip­ tures to the Jews in their synagog­ ues.

Hjs healing was supernatural, miraculous, omnipotent.; it had no limitatons whatever, He healed “all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.” The inspired narrative also tells us that He healed those who were possessed with devils,” or demon, and the “lunatic" or insane. Here and elsewhere the New Testa­ ment is careful to distinguish them­ selves- between bodily disease and de- mon-^possession and insanity. They are different, but they were all sub­ ject to the healing power of the His fame was nation-wide, going throughout all Syria, and great crowds of people followed Him from every part of the country, If only they had all let Him heal their souls as well as their bodies, how different history would have been!
