• JESUS 'MU 1+'RiI').1 ? Or SINNI cif$
Sunday, F•eb. 1.5.. ---Luke 7.,
GeKen Text
This is a •faithful saying, and
Wortley of all acceptation, that
Christ Jesus smite into the world to
rave sinners, (1 Tina,
There is a niais of Historical evi-
dence is this .seventh chapter of
Luke that the Lord Jesus Christ
was indeed the friend. at smilers,
It records atiiazing events, quite def-
• i'erent in their •significance from .any
that had occurred, since the world
began. What the , Lord Jesus can
•do for those wlta :have an .over-
wlielining souse of need is a domi-
nant note throughout these inci-
dents. There is not much that the
Lord can do for those who have no
.sense of need.
A centurion had a servant, very!
,:clear to hint, at death's door because
,.,of illness. He sent a pleading mes-
sage to the Lord to come and heal
iris eervaut. As the Lord started on
this mission the centurion sent word
•aslVing Him not to trouble Himself
to go further, but only to speak a
Word and he (tlie centurion) knew
•:that the servant would be healed..
Here was greater faith,. the Lord
said, than He had found in Israel ---
and how it must have warmed and
xejoinced His , Heart, He spoke the
"word, and the beloved• servant was
raised upentirely well.
The next day, seeing a widow on
:the way to the grave with the dead
Body of her only •son, the Lord rats
led theyoung from y u g roan i om. death and
,returned him to his mother; People
.began to say "that God hath visited
:.His people."
John the Baptist, persecuted by
Imprisonment, sent word asking the
Lord whether He was indeed the
,Christ. The Lord's answer was "in
;that .sante hour" the: healing 'of many
more diseased and demon -possessed
•;people, even restoring sight to the
;,blind. And the answer He sent
back to John was "that the blind
:see, the lathe walk, the lepers are
ecieans.ec1 the deaf hear, the dead are
raised, to the poor the Gospel is
_preached."
But there were men in that ••day
who had no sense of need. These
were 'the Pharisees ands lawyers."
They condemned doIIn the Baptist
for his ascetisn; they condemned
(Christ on the ground that He was
"a gluttonous man ands a winebib-
ber, •a' friend oS publicans and sine
ners." :So far from having any
:sense of need,- they set ,themselves
.above both John the Baptist and the
Son. o'f God. There was nothing,
,ads could do for them—except to
•.condemn.
There is a°tremendous contrast or
:antithesis in the closing: incident, of
the chapter between one who had
no sense of need an:cb one who had
:. to overwhelming.. sense of need.
A Plraris.ee• named Simon invited
the Lord to come to his house and
.:eat with him. . We are not told why
the Pharisee gave the Lord this in-
vitation. But the facts that follow
:show that it was• not' the act of a
.:sinner seeking a :Saviour, or of a
man who wanted to sit at the feet of
.the Lord ani, learn.
The Lor- accepted the invitation,
:and while 'they were in •Sinton'.
'House a sinful woman came in,
'bringing a valuable box of ointment
standing humbly behind the Lord at
His feet, as he reclined at the table,
,;she wept, washed His feet with her
• tears, wiped them .with her hair,
kissed His feet and anointed them
with the ointment. Evidently she
•'knew something • of who and what
the Lord was, and her heart must
have been hungry for wnat Ile alone
could; da far hat,
Simon, the Pharisee host, watch -
;..ed saiperciliausly, and set the Lord
..•clown in his own mind as a man who
was not even •a prophet and quite
unaware of the sinful.eharecter of
';the woman. Then, the Lord -told
minion He had Something to say to
, •Yarn.
Two, men each owed a certain
creditors, one five hundred pence,
-:i,he other fifty, and both were equal-
ly � unable to pay anything. a an ythin�. The
o ,e;reditor forgave .thein both, cancel-
-big both debts. Which of these two
Men would levo the creditor the
creditor the most?
"1 suppose that he," said. Simon,
'be Whom he forgave most," The
Lord said Simon's answer was right.
And; now the Lord contrasted Si-
mon and the woman. When he had
entered the Pharisee's house the
host failed in the most ordinary
courtesy, giving Hirst no 'water to
cleanse Ills dalsty feet, n#• Conven-
tional hiss .of welcome, no , oil for
anrtoiilting his head; but this uit-
]mown and, outcast woman lead
washed the 'Lord's feet with her
tears, had kissed Isis feet In humil-
ity and gratitude, had anointed His
feet w'itlt precious ointment, iah'e
had come as .a sinner seeking help.
Her sins were many;. she knew it
and confessed it. tshe was showing
a great deal oic love, •of a right and
pure sort, for the One who could for-
give her many sins.. "But," said the
Lord, "to whom little is forgiven,
the same loveth little."
Simon hada no, sins to be forgiven
-••=.at least, so he thought! He owed
nothing=•to Christ; he had no sense
of steed, no sense of obligation to
the Lord, and no• lave for the Lard.
The woman had a crushing, aver-.
powering sense of need, had loved
unspeakhly the One who could
meet her need, and forgive her sins,.
As a ,matter of fact, the .self-righte.
eons and hyprocritical'Pharisee Si-
mon had as many sins to be for-
given as the outcast woman, even If
•
they were of a different sort, His'
sins were just as deadly,. the wages
of all sin is. death. The Lord's fin-
al word to the wonnau, after this dis-
course, was very !beautiful; "Thy
'sins are forgiven .. , Thy faith hath
saved thee; go in peace."

In these hard times there are three things that we may do
With our problems. We may, play the rabbit and run from them.
We may play the game ascribed, :to the ostrich and hide our heads
and try to fool ourselves into thinkiny that times are all right.
The third method is to face our granite •circumstances and, conquer
them. Industry .must solve its own problems. That's an actual
fact. The biggest enemy any man. can have is the man 'Whom he al-
lows to do his thinking or his Work.
We need a new aristocracy of here -and -now conquerors. Very
sorely do we need an upper classeef winners. We need great -hearts
who stele forward while others }Slit. The hour calls for' men who
assail dlifficulties while others talk about hard tiitieS who great-
ly venture while •others' are providing excuses for doing nothing,
who get something done while other's are looking for "something to
turn up and for the times to mend." The man who is' not getting
out of the Slough of Despond on. bis own power is not worth the
rope to pull hint to solid rock. Wita,t is today prophecy, in this

73.S2hBONE NEEDED
Old Age Pensions are up for review. Apparently there is
need; for serious action. Unless this teem of helping those who
have come to life's sere and yellow leaf is justly administered the
whole well meant scheme will cry to heaven with -meanness and
stupidity.
The purpose of the scheme is commendable. No one wishes
any toiler who has come to want through sickness or misfortune
to go unclad, hungry or unsheltered'. So far all are agreed. But
why should the man who has toiled all his drays and denied himself
many a. comfort to say nothing of luxuries, be asked to pay for the
man who has eaten his cake as he has gone along? There's a wise
old Book that says that he that will not work shall not eat. For
the shiftless class we have a good system of county houses where
food and heat are provided at a minimum expense. Why tell the
youth of this country that there is no occasion for self-denial and
self help since, the government will make ample provision for them
old age? There's a variety of •charity that cuts the nerve of
enterprise. Surely England's experience with the Dole should give
Canadians pause. .
In any case, since the act is here there is urgent need for back-
bone and good sense in its administration. Enough already has
come to light to show that a dead set has been made to defeat the
kind intentions of the act'•. framers,.
