THE QUIET HOUR FEVERISHNESS “He took her by the hand . . . and ithe fever left her” Mark 1; 31, Peter’s wife’s mother was sick and He who possessed healing power was asked to visit her. This He did and “He took her by the hand, and raised her up and the fever left her.’* Some times we wonder whether physical maladies have spiritual analogies. Whether all have such analogies or not we cannot say, but we are confi dent that the lavages of Some diseases are type of deadly invasions among the vital processes of the soul. Palsy, leprosy and the withered limb are the shadowed lineaments of a more ap palling! paralysis, a more gruesome leprosy and a more awful decay am ong the living treasures of the spirit. Our Lord not only liberated a palsied body. He did so to prove he could lib erate soul. “That ye may know that the Son of Man hath power to forgive ALL YEAR ROUND ATTRACTIVE Reduced sleeping-carfares PLAYGROUND YES, out in Vancouver and Victoria GOLF is played all year ’round!

Safety Full information from any ticket agent CANADIAN NATIONAL ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sins: then said He to the sick of the We are living through days when there is an urgent need of spiritual coolness. There is danger of a mental and nervous- fever which engenders heat, but not light. “The fever of the world hangs upon the beatings of the heart.” What ministers have we that provide the cooling hand to dispel the feverishness and restore ithe soul to cool and healthy activity? There are many. All around us are men and women who are endowed with rare power and influence for breathing through the impulses of heated desire mysterious coolness and balm. Moth ers and fathers in Israel whose very presence is a tonic, who know what to do in a crisis, and what to say at the right moment. To use a common expression “they are always there,” they can be depended upon. It might be well to enquire whence have they this poise, this peculiar grace of in stantly making us feel batter. If we ask them they cannot tell us because they are not aware of possessing any special grace. All that is left for -us to do is for ourselves to make an ex amination of their spiritual and men tal makeup. I think this rare “poise and influence” comes largely from three sources. First, from reading the best literature, Second, from knowing the message of the Bible, and Third, from knowing Jesus Christ. These sources are open to all of «s, but they have absorbed more than we, and therefore we find in them “ a medicine for our state of mind.” And when I say that Jesus Christ can impart a deep serenity born of a steadfast and eternal hope; that He pervades the en tire life with the wonderful harmony of strong and wholesome self-control, I am but repeating the words spoken by countless numbers of people.
