We are aCcustonied to forget in these remote times,hOiv radical was lesits in His own,day until we stum- ble upon some such episode as this in the Gospel of Luke. NC laws were more absolitte in the ancient Jewish eominunity than those per- taining.to the Sabbath, and no cus- tom more rigid than that of com- pliance wiffi these laws. The most intricate rifles and regulations had grown up about this sacred day, and no man could be' righteons, or even respectable, who did not obey these rulesaand regulations to the lebter.a, And now conies this young prophet of Galilee, who breaks these laws a,ntrthaus defies all ,the venerated tradition of Bs people by -healing the ick upon this day of. days. Andanot only , does He thins perform an act expeessly for- bidden, but He adds insult to in- jury by practising his lawlessness inside the synagogue!. What won- der that "the ruler of the syna- gogue was moved with indigna- tion" arid Openly -rebuked Jesus for what He had done! 'And,' what wader:: that; continuing ter act in ,this way on numerous' occasions, Jestis speedily -made Himself of "no reputation" among his, contempor- aries! • , . • • • , ' Cured a Crippled Ikesitin. The Nnarene, however, had good reahori for His coeduct, as He was not &ow to explain in answer to the ruler's charge, Had He violat- ed the laws of His &lurch and the custom a His people in the spirit of mockery or bravado He might well have been condemned. But such ware not tlie case] What He had, done -was simply to give relief from cruel suffering to a crippled woman who had chanced to come to His attention! He had performed an act of mercy, in defiance perhaps of the laws of men, but in stria accordawith that love which is the fulfilment of the higher lit-ev of God. Does, not everybody do just this thing 7,sa4d Jesus. Or, if not, ought not everybody to do just this thing? "Doth not each of you," He asked, "loose his ox or ass from the, stall on the Sabbath and lead him away to watering?" And His adversar- ies, we are told, were "put to shame" by this retort, and ‘"could not answer again," In. all this now we meet some- thing far morevital thlin any mere question. of Sabbath observance. What we have here is an emphatic laying clown of the universal law of all tine religion that life, and the needs of life, must be the sole aim of individual conduct and SOCial organization and that nothing must be allowed to interfere with the service of this aim. Ever is there the tendency to forget life in devo- tion to the laws which were' formu- lated and the institutions which were reared for its Protection 01111 Uplifting. Man sees himself 'imprisoned in the state or the ohureh which ,he has builded. He discovers that the Sabbath, which he has made 'for the better ordering of his life, has over- mastered him and that he is now apparently made for the Sabbath and not the- Sabbath for him. All this was intolerable to the mind of ,Jesus, as to the mind of an3. roan who knows reality. There 4.s 010 law. no institution, no custom, no creed, which has any right to exist save as it fosters and upholds the life of men. The merrier:it that these "things hinder this life -fetter it, ,Wither it, destroy it -foster misery and Shatter hope -then at that mo- ment it must go and man thus as- sert his spiritual supremacy over the things which. he has made. Re- -tween the Sabbath law'and the in- firm woman there can be no choice. Lite, with its needs, its.aspixatioas, its ideals -this must be our goal; and the uncompromising service of life -this must be out watchword! -Rev. Sohn Haynes Holmes.

The Book of Exodus begins with a list of the sons of Jacob, followed bY a statement regarding the rapid increase of the children ofT Israel, which in turn gives rise to alarm on the' part of a new Pharaoh "who knew not Joseph." The building of the store-cities'Pithom and RaftM- ses, upon which the new king has set his heart, furnishes the oppor- tunity for the exacting slave ser- vice required of the Hebrews in the hope of breaking their spirit and reducing their nambers. This meth- od proving futile, other means are adopted, culminating in the royal decree Inc the wholesale destruc- tion of male children among the He- -brews. „ Verse 22. Pharaoh charged all lus people -His taskmasters and overseers, those having general and more immeditate supervision over the Hebrew colony. Every son . . . cast into the river -According to Josephus, the Israelites, during their severe per- secution in Egypt, "dog canals and and banked rivers, fortified cities and •built prramids." The same Mather explains that the severe per- secution was due to the prediction of a soothsayer that an Israelite child should be born who would bring disaster on Egypt Etna free Israel.

The papyrus is no longer found in Egypt, but still grows in Abyssinia, Nubia, and var- ious parts of Sicily.

The phrase translated •" the river's brink"' means, literally, the lip of the riVer -an Egyptian idiom. 4. His sister -Miriam, now about thirteen years old. The first men- tion of Miriam by name is in con- nection with the account of Israel's successful escape through the Red Sea, after which she led a chorus of women with timbrels and dancing in honor of the escape of the Israel- ites from their pursuers. Later in the desert journey of the people Miriam instigated an open rebellion against Moses, which was followed also by Aaron. Foe this rebellion against God's chosen leader she was smitten with leprosy, frem which she was healed only at the earnest •intercession of Moses, The death and burial of Miriam at Kadesh is referred to in Num. 20. 1 (compare also Exod. 15. 20, 21; N, um. 12. 1- 15). 5.
