ANALYSIS
1. THE HEALING OF, THE MAN WITH
PARALYSIS, ch. 9: 1-8,
IL THE ,...ALL OF MATTHEW, c 9: 9=23,
INTRODUCTION—The' method adopt-
ed in Matthew is that of grouping the
materials presented to the readers so
a. to set forth the greatness of the
power and personality of Jesus, After
the Sermon on the Mount we come to
the different stories at the remark-
able works of Jesus, revealing his`
compassion and authority.
1. THE HEALING OB' THE MAN WITH
PARALYSIS, ch. 9: 1-8.
V. 1. Another of the journeys which
Jesus had made through Galileo is
over, and he returns to Capernaum,
which had been his headqualrtees. He
'wishes to find time for rest and for
the instruction of his disciples: But
the report soon goes abroad that he is
back, and there is greater eagerness
to see and hear. him.
V. 2. The faith which is here men-
tioned can be better understood by
reading the narrative in Mar' 2: 11,
12, and Luke 5: 18-26. Several of the
sick man's friends bed determined to
bring him to this new healer, and
v :,en the crowd was so great that
they could' net enter, they had gone to
the roof of the house and Iet down the
bed in front of Jesus. This effort
was the result of -their firm faith that
If Jesus could only meet their friend,
all: would be well Faith is trusting
the goodness and power of Christ.
Jesus looks upon this sick man and
tells him not to be afraid, sinse his
sins are forgiven. This was hardly
the treatment that was expected, since
to all outward appeal ance thttrouble
was in the body. However, Jesus had
looked deeper, and he saw that the
rplan wa3 troubled ab,.ut his soul, and
that the burden of his sins was rest-
ing heavily upon him. His conscience
Lad been stirred, and the longing for
a better life had been started. How
could there be any ileace as long as
this inner struggle with si' fives con-
tinuing? Forgiveness, and the assur-
lance of the divine love, were what the
poer man really needed,' and so Jesus
gives him this greatest' of all blessings.
. V. 3. But Jesus has his foes, who
are ever on the watch, and they now.
heap scorn upon his winds. They evi-
dently suggest that it is a simple
thing to tell a man that his sins are
orgiven, since no one can test its
truthfni,.ess. There is no change in
the body to indicate' that a change has
taken place. Besides that, it is,'they
say, the special privilege of God to
forgive sin, and it is, therefore, blas-
phemy for a gran to assume this
power.
V. 5. Jesus reads their sceptical and
critical thoughts, and wishes to make
everything clear. He asks them whe-
ther it is easier to say, "Thy sins be
forgiven thee," or to say, "Arise and
walk." Of course it is easier to say,
"Thy sine be forgiven. since none can
tell whethee-it is fulfilled or not; but
if one says, "Rise and walk," then,
unless the patient does, this the heal-
er's reputation is gone.
V. 6. Jesus -vorks the miracle on the
man's body in order toconvince them
that his claire over the spiritual na-
ture is. valid. One who can heal thus
wonderfully must have been authority
to forgive sins.
V. 7. We do net wonder that the
people -were greatly astonished, but
probably they did not realize that the
greatest object which Jesus had in
view was to give this mangy not only a
healthy body, but also a pure heart.
I1.: THE CALL OP MATTHEW, ch, 9:..9.13.
of Jests, bitterly attacking him for
this brealdng of the 'sec' d custom of
his nation. To eat with outcasts was
an unheard-of indignity.
V. 12. Jesus defends his liberal
treatment 'of tars c1as, with an appeal
to the example.of a physician. It is
professional defence. .A 'doctor does
not go to people who are in .sdund
health, and who have no need of his
skill, Those only will take his »deice
who are out of health, and who feel
their need of a cure. It is so also with
Jesus. These Pharisees thitk that
they are morally .nd spirittar.'.ly whole.
They do not heed , any one to help
diem. Therefore, Jesus must go to
those who will appreciate the bless-
ings which he has to give.
V. 13. Jesus further defends him
self by reminding them of the scrip
ture,which shows that God looks, not
for mere ritual service, but for mercy
and goodness. The first of all laws is
the law of love; and these poor, neg-
leeted sinners, are they not.nrost in
need of love? To be kind is to win the
divine favor.
V. 9. This is the call of the man
whose name is associated with this
gospel, ansi it shows how unconven-
tional were many of the method's of
Jesus. Matthew belonged to-, S yery
nnpepular, class of people, The tart
gatherer 1s never very much liked.
Out in Palestine, at this period, the
burden of taxes was very heavy, and
the common people were oppressed by
grievous exactions. It is no wonder
that the publican, or tax -gatherers
were a marked ° class, and that they
were ruled out of most respectable so-
ciety. The•publicaes were associated
with the sinners, see Matt. 11: 19;
Luke 15: 1. When Jesus proposed to
select one out of this .despised folk for
his intimate friend, it called forth the
scorn and contempt among the reli-
gious classes.

The Voices of Our
Dead
From the depths of the sea there
' cometh a sigh,
From the mountains eometh a moan,
From the forests of France a frantic
cry,
From the sky a shriek, a groan.
'Tor what did we die?" these voices
ask,
"Why saerified life's emprise?
,Must we forever behind death's mask
Be mocked by falsehood and lies?
"Will never to us come the rest of
Peace?
Must Time's ` fruition be dust?
Will the day never come when hor-
rors shall cease,
And swords and spears shall gnat?
Oh, ye who still hold life's' emprise,
And guide humanity's trend,
Regard our nroaninge and our sighs,
So strife and war shall end."

ADAMSON'S .ADVENTURES—By 0. Jacobsson
Science Will Save
Mankind From War
America's Most Renowned
Scientist Says, "It Will Also
Keep the Race from
Overcrowding • and
Starvation"
Dr, James Laver, in London Chronicle
A prediction that science will save
the world from war and its future in-
habitants from starvation, was made
by Dr. Robert A. Milliken, world-
famed physicist, who, it will be re-
membered, Is a former Nobel Prize
winner, in his presidential address
before the American Association for
the Advancement of Science. Only a
short cabled account was sent to this
country and we quote, therefore, the
speech as It appears in the New York
Times.
Speaking on the alleged sins of
science, Dr. Milliken took' up one by
one the outstanding accusations
against scientific research, and to
each of them, on behalf of science,
pleaded not guilty, He denied that
science is materialistic.
To the charge that soience has
multiplied the .tools of destruction;
that she has made war more deadly,
more horibie and less heroic than it
used to be, Dr. Milliken replied that
every scientific advance "finds ten
times as many new, peaceful and con-
structive uses as it finds destructive
ones."
"Explosives and fertilizers are
basically the same, and even expib-
slves find a dozen peaceful uses to
one warlike one,' he said, 'Public
thinking is misled by the fact that a
horror makes better news than a
wheat crop. One man blown pain-
lessly to atoms gets more news space
than a thousand men dying by inches
from disease.'
Peaceful Arts Exceed Warlike
"'Steel does -indeed make bayonets,
but it also makes plowshares and
railroads and automobiles and sewing
machines and threshers and a thous-
and other things. whose uses consti-
tute the strongest existing diverter
of human energies from the destruc-
tive to the peaceful arts,
"'In my judgment, war is now in
process of being abolished, chiefly by,
this relentless advance of science, its
most powerful enemy. It has existed
in spite of religion, and in spite of
philosophy, and in spite of social
ethics, and in spite of the Golden
Rule, since the daysof the cave man
because in accordance with the evo-
lutionary philosophy of modern
science and simply because it has had'
survival valuer
"'It will disappear like the dino-
saur when, and only when, the condi-
tions which have given it survival
value have disappeared, and those
conditions are disappearing now,
primarily because of changes in the
world situation being brought about
by the growth of modern science:
"To the charge against science that
'she has deadened arid routinized la-
bor' and taken away the joy of crafts-
manship, Dr. Milliken replied:
Science Has, Freed Man
"'A superficial glance at Mr. Ford's
factory might seem to justify it, but
to the man who can see beyond his
nose it is a different picture that un-
folds itself-'
"'As I' read history, the machine
age has actually freed, educated and
inspired mankind, not enslaved it.
Routine labor plays a part in all our
lives, and an attractive part, too, it
it ie not overdone and if there is
leisure far something else.
"'Even the few routine men who
feed the machines in Mr. Ford's fac-
tory are less routinized and have
shorter hours by far than the dumb.
agricultural drudge who hoed pota-
toes for twelve hours a day, through
all the history of the world before
the machine age appeared.'
"'Looked at in the large, I do not
think there can be the slightest ques-
tion that the only hope this world
has of maintaining in the future a
suitable btiiance between population
and food supply is found in science,'
"'That, in the last analysis, is man-
kind's greatest problem. Its solation
alone, and there are the best reasons
for believing that in the long run it
can be solved, is sufficient to warrant
the fullest stimulation of both the
biological and the, physical sciences
that can in any way be brought
about.'
"Sub -Atonic" Forces Denied
"The charge that science is 'giving
Children matches to play with' by pre-
paring to tap 'enormous stores of
subatomic' energy which weak, ignor-
ant, confused, sometimes visions man
has not the moral qualities to control
and direct to useful ends,' a charge,
as he admitted made by scientists
themselves, was declared by Dr. Mil-
liken to be without foundation,'
"'Science regards it as her chief
function to deter men from over-
hasty conclusions, though she does
not always gueceed even with her de-
votees; her influence, nevertheless, is'
always to constrain men to replace
panicky, emotional acting by reflec-
tive, informed, rational acting. The
great world explosions, including the
World War, have been mental, not
physical. She would ask you then to
Withhold your judgment until all the
available evidence is in.'
"'Now the new evidence born of
new scientific students is to the 'ef-
feat that it is highly improbable that
there is any, appreciable amount of
available sub -atomic energy for man
'to, tap anyway; in other words, that
henceforth men who are living in, fear
lest some bad boy among the scient-
ists may some clay touch oft the fuse
and blow this comfortable earth of
ours to star -dust, may go home ani
henceforth sleep in peace with the
consciousness that the Creator has
put some fool -proof elements into His
handiwork, and that man is powerless
to. do it any titanic physical damage
anywa•y.'
Regrets "Craze for the New"
"Dr. Milikan admitted that there is,
however, 'one regrettable tendency in
modern life for' which science is
probably to some extent at least, re-
sponsible.
"'I refer to the craze for the new
regardless of the true, to the demand
for change for the sake of change, re-
gardless of consequences, to the pre-
sent-day widespread worship of the
bizarre, to the cheap extravagance
and sensationalism that surround us
on every side, as evidenced by our
newspapers, our magazines, our nov-
els, our drama, our art in many of
its forms, our advertising and even
our education:
"Regarding these as 'transient ac-
companiments of the stupendous rate
of change that modern science and
its applications have forced on mode
ern life,' and believing that what he
termed the present spirit of revolt 'is
in part an inevitable reflex of the
rapid changes taking place in our
times because of the rapid growth of
science,' Dr. Milliken said he was
'not greatly disturbed by this'
"'The actual method by which
science makes its changes is becom-
ing better understood,' he said.
'"The demand for the I.aner pope -
lar books upon it is continually in-
creasing. The remedy is, in part at
least, in understanding' it better.'
"'As soon as the public learns, as
it is slowly learning, that science, uni-
versally recognized as the basis of
our civilizaztion, knows no such thing
as change for the sake of change; as
soon as the public learns that the.
method of science is not to discard
the past, but always to build upon it;
as soon as it discovers that in science
truth once discovered always remains
truth; in : a word, that evolution,
growth, not revolution, is its method,,
it will, I hope, begin to banish its
craze for the sensational, forthe new
regardless of the true, and thereby
atone for one of the sins into which
the very rapid growth of science may
have tempted it."

Tasty Recipes
Artichoke Soup
Required: Two pounds of arti-
chokes, three onions, one' pint of
milk, and one. pint of water. Wash
well,.peel, and cut up the artichokes,
then boil for one hour with three
thinly sliced onions. Season with
pepper and salt to taste, add one tea-
spoonful of sugar, then put through
a sieve. Add then the pint of milk, a
little whipped cream or a knob of but-
ter, Heat up again in readiness to
serve and add some chopped parsley
before serving.
Celery Soup
Required: One good hear] of celery
(only use the otter sticks, keeping.
the heart for table use with cheese),
three small onions chopped uii 'fine,
about a teacupful of cold potatoes,
one pint of nijlk, and, one pint of
waters Boil the potatoes and celery
till tender enough .to put through. a
sieve. Add some celery salt, pepper,
and about a teaspoonful of sugar
when you add the 'milk,
Potato Soup
Required: Six onions, six large po-
tames, one pint of milk, one pint of
water. Cut the onions and potatoes
into slices and boil together until
they are wel pulped, so that they are
tender enough to put through a sieve.
Add the pint of milk just before they
are put through the sieve, then sea-
son with parsley, pepper, salt, and
sugar.
Last of all, as an admirable supper
dish or nightcap on a cold winter's
night, comes the onion soup. For this
boil your onions in salted water,
strain and cttt up. Save half the
water they have been boiled in, add
as much milk again. Thicken with a
dessertspoonful of cornflour and a
knob of butter. Season With pepper
and salt to taste and serve piping hot.
To Prepare Crumpets
There are two essentials to observe.
One is that the buttering must be
done before hefting, and the other.
that while they are getting hot in the
oven they must be completely cover-
ed so that none of their own steam
can escape. Never toast crumpets:
Place them in little piles of three or
four, with the allowance of butter on
each one, 'upon large puttered sauc-
ers. Cover with grease -proof paper
and put other saucers on the top of,
each -pile. The moisture thus kept
in will keep them soft and the butter
will soak in evenly.
a TRY TURPENTINE
A little turpentine mixed with
whitening will remove dirt and grease
from marble. Allow the paste to re-
main on the marble for a few min-
utes, then wash off with a warm,
soapy lather. Rinse with clear cold
water.
A few drops 0f turpentine added to
the rinsing water when washing
china or glass wile give it a brilliant
polish.
Black stockings will not lose any of
their color in the v;, sh if they are
allowed to soak foe several hours in
warm water to which a little turpen-
tinehas been retied.

A Useful Polisher
Get an old broom, cut away any
hairs that may, remain, and bind sev-
eral pieces of old cloth round the
broom head.
Finally, finish with a covering of
old, soft velvet, and fasten into place
with headed nails. This saves you a
lot of back aching moments.
Cooking Cakes
'When cooking small buns or cakes
in the gas 'oven, you will find them
less likely to burn if the tins are well
sprinkled with ground rice instead of
being greased.

"A' penny saved is twopence, dear;
A pin a day's groat a sear,"
This is a good time to check up on.
Your financial status. Holcl a family
council and consider the following
questions:
What member's of the family can
contribute to the family income?
How can persons not earning money
contribute . to the welfare of the
family? .
Has health any bearing on thrift?
How would you estimate the value?
of the services you render your house.
hold?
Should the members take part in a'
council which makes• the budget?
Should they help keep the household
account? Should they keep account
of their own. expenditures?
Is' it of any servioe for the family;
to keep the cost of their living?
If the child is given an allowance,
what items should it cover?
Should the wife know more about
the income and the husband about
household expenses?'
Are the standards of living' in your
home enough to make for wholesomq
development? Are they extravagant
and wasteful and likely to make
"spoiled" and discontented people; og
are they wise, yet adequate?
The Perfect Cake
Theperfect cake is attractive in
appearance; is of uniform thlcknees;I
has a cruet which is a delicate brown
and is thin and tender and daintily
crisp; is light; tender; agreeably
moist; even -grained in texture; and
has a delicate flavor.
The five necessary steps 'in the
making of a perfect cake are: 1. Hee,
good ingredients; 2. Measure occur•.
ately; 3. Mix carefully; 4. Bake care,
fully; 5. Handle carefuly after bale
ing.
The ingredients should be fresh and
of the best quality. To•guess at mea-
surements is taking risks. You may,
have good "luck," and you may not,
In n'teasuring Sour, lift it lightly and
level it off with a knife, 1)0 the same'
thing with other measurements.
In mixing, use the beating or fold-
ing motion. In beating, the under
part of the batter is continually lifted
to the surface and this incorporates
air into the mixture. To stir a cake
batter, with a circular moton,'breaks
the cells so that the air which has
been carefully beaten in is lost.
The temperature of the oven
should be even, in baking, not con-
tinually
ontinually rising and falling. To fre-
quently open the door is one cause of
temperature fluctuation. To bake
well, the cake should begin rising in
the first quarter of its baking period.
In the second quarter, it should con-
tinue
ontinue rising and begin to brown. In
the third, it finishes rising and con-
tinues browning. In the fourth, it
finishes baking and shrinks from the
sides of the pan,
The cake is done when it has risen
to its full.height and has a delicate
brown crust; when it stops "sing-
ing"; when it has shrunk slightly,
from the sides of the pan; when it
springs back if touched lightly with:
the finger; when a tooth -pick, if in-
serted into the middle of the cake,
comes out dry. At the end of each
baking quarter, the door should be
opened to see if the cake is baking
properly. Regulate the heat to make
it bake according to rule. If it is.
baking unevenly turn the cake
around. It may be safely moved af-
ter the first ten minutes in the oven.
Set the cake to cool, where there
will be a circulation of air around it.
This will prevent soggy crusts. Let
it cool gradually, in a place slightly,
warm.
Canada and Trinidad
Trinidad Guardian: Now is a fitting
moment to plan more recipr'oc'ity.
Both peoples need a new and still
more amicable agreement. If Great
Britain has too many tropical 'out-
lets, Canada has not, And if the vol-
ume of our imports from Great Bri-
tain are an unappreciable drop in the
ocean of English exports, it is a drop
that progressive Canada will not des-
pise. , .. Though public opinion is
slow iu forming, and though it is not
easy always to see just where our
steps are leading us, it is becoming
increasingly plain, that if Mr. Snow-
den rejects the earnest plea not only,
of West Indian colonists, but of all
the other partners in the Empire,
then we, who have no direct repre-
sentation in the Imperial Parliament,
must look to each other for' mutual
Hid and support. The War showed
that . the word British still means
something,
