Jesus Faces Opposition
Mark 2:3-8; 16-171 3:1-6
4j olden Text:—Be not overcome of
vil, but overcome evil with good.--
Romans
ood.—Romans 12:21.
Anyone who takes a leading part
fel public life is always the object
of severe criticism. Of course lead-
ers make mistakes which warrant
twiticism. But Jesus was exceptional.
Re never erred, yet he was intensely
Stated and envied and ultimately
•erucified.
Jesus pronounced forgiveness of
tins upon the man sick of the palsy.
this they termed blasphemy, for
"who can forgive sins but God
only?" But Jesus demonstrated that
he was God by immediately healing
Ante man. The mall who had come
'arried by four, walked out carrying
his bed.
Then they found fault because
Jest's ate with publicans and sinners.
He erred socially. He replied by as-
serting, "I came :tot to call the
righteous, but sinners to repent-
ance."
The third criticism recorded in
tine lesson was that of healing on
.the Sabbath. The mai with the
withered hand in the synagogue was
probably "planted" by the Pharisees.
They watched. He asked the matt
to stand forth, and inquired. "Is it
lawful to do good on the sabbath
days. or to do evil, to save lifeor
to kill?" They did not answer. He
healed the man. jesus was not seek •
-
ing his own pleasure on the Sab-
bath, but was reacher ministering to
the needy. .
Criticism did not make Jesus veer
from His course, though He knew
3t would lead to the Cross. He con -
tinted to forgive sins, befriend the
A Real Ginut
(nee of the best-known giants in
modern medical history was Ro-
bert Weldon, of Alton, Illinois, who
died in 1940 after reaching the
amazing height of eight feet ten
inches. His overactive pituitary
was first observed -by a doctor when
Robert's father brought him to the
hospital to find ant why the boy
was growing so fast.'
Although he weighed only nine
pounds at birth, he *weighed, 30 by
the time he was six montes old. At
a year and a half he weighed 62. At
nine. he had reached a height of
she feet one inch, and weighed 178.
At 18, when he entered college,
Robert Ydadlow was eight feet three
and a half inches tall and stili
growing, although his muscular de-
' velopment was beginning to slow
down. Hitherto his appetite had
been normal but now it began to

outcasts of society that he might
lift theta from sin and shame to hap-
piness, and to do good on the Sab-
bath.
Witrlten we are censured it is well
that we examine ourselves. One has
said, "My critics are the unpaid
guardians of toy soul." We may
learn some valuable lessons from
our critics, But if we are follow-
ing. closely the example of Jesus, let
tis' keep on despite the unkind words
that may be spoken of us. Let us
"overcome evil with good".

Be Prepared
A short time ago David Western,
whose father is a London Transport
fitter, went to Buckingham Palace
to receive the Albert Medal for •
Gallantry,. When David and Ms
parents had been to the Palace they
told listeners to the BBC's "In
Town Tonight" programme what It
felt like to visit the King in his own
home. "It all seems unreal now,"
said Mr. Western. "When we got
to the Palace we were met by two
' ushers who took David away into
another room. My wife and I were
shown into a Grand Hall, and it
took our breath away, I can toll
you. It must be about two hundred
yards long and it's covered with a
red carpet. The ceiling is inlaid
with gold, and there are beautiful
oil paintings ou the walls, and
marble columns down the Hall.
Two seats had been reserved for us
in a line of chairs on either side
of the dais, and a band played all
the time we waited for the King to
appear. If anybody'd told me, when
I was it! North Africa with' the Des-
ert Rats, or when I was a prisoner
of war, that one day I'd be sitting
in Buckingham Palace --well, I'
have said they were crackers!"
David, who received his medal
for a very brave attempt to rescue
two friends who had fallen through
the ice on a frozen pond, and who
was in icy water for twenty-five
minutes, said of his visit, "I wasn't
nervous - because I'm a Scout and
we always have to be prepared."
Just The Same •
"To me, life in Britain is ex-
actly the same as it was twenty
years ago. I like it very much ex-
cept for the climate and the weath-
er. The people still smoke their-
pipes,
heirpipes, tell jokes, do the "rimes'
crossword puzzle each day. They
still grumble at everything, yet It is
wonderful (tow they manage to
keep their lives so faithfully order-

"No, I don't."

We had a near -tragedy in our
'animal family last week -and I was
' just about ready to give Honey her
walking papers! It was after break-
fast and 1 was busy in the pantry.
Honey was running around as
usual; Joseph Mark was asleep on
a chair. Presently I heard a bit of
a scuffle and then a plop; . but I
didn't pay any attention as the cat
and the pup are always chasing
each 'other around anyway. But
when I did turn round there was'
Mark stretched out ou the floor, -
stiff as a ramrod, mouth open and
showing absolutely no sign of life'
at all. At I picked him up I won-
dered what on earth the pup could
have done to knack him out so com-
pletely. "Perhaps she grabbed his
throat --perhaps he needs air," 1
' thought. So I ran outside to the
front step and sat rubbing poor
Mark's throat. Presently he started
the most awful twitchings, like a
chicken before it dies. "Oh dear,
this is the end," I thought "Poor
Kitty, to think I saved you when
you were small and then toe have
you die like this," However, I kept
on rubbing -and Mark kept twitch-
ing. And their he opened his eyes!
* *
Ttaen he started to breathe very
noisily—like something being rattled
around in a tin can. By that time I
had begun to hope and—to cut a
long story short—my hope was just-
ified. Mark actually did recover but
for the rest of the day he couldn't
walk properly, didn't eat and could-
n't raise his hind leg to scratch his
ear. He breathed noisily all day and
was so scared all he wanted was to
get out of the house. That 1 could -
not allow—you know how an animal
will crawl away to a dark corner
if it is sick or injured and you
don't know whether it is alive _ or
dead. So I kept Mark in the house
but it meant a sort of Washington
Post all day—taking Mark down
the cellar and bringing up the pup;
then after an hour or two taking the
pup down the cellar and'bringing up
Mark. The cat, naturally, had to
be kept away from the pup until
he was able to look after himself.
a 4'
And what did I. do to the pup?
Nothing at all. Honey had done no
more than she had any other time
—I think it was' just that the eat,
being asleep, was 'taken off gustfd.
I believe the pup must have grab-
bed him near the end of his spine
and he dropped like a log to the
floor.
Believe rue, we are certainly glad
Mark recovered. Apart from the
fact that he is a splendid pet, het is
also more than worth his keep. No
mouse is ever likely to become a
grandmother while Mark is around
—he is as quick as a flash.

Our next adventure was on Satur-
day. After dinner I was all set to
'go down town with an order of
eggs and chicken when Bob came
in. "You certainly can't drive down-
town yourself," he said, "better get
ready and I'll take you down in the
big truck. That'll be the safest
thing on the road today," I had no
idea what he was talking about until
I looked outside. Oh my — freez-
ing rain and slippery as glass under-
foot! i was glad enough to go in
the big truck, And even that did
a bit of slithering around on the
road.
Later that afternoon my sister
phoned — would it be all right if
she came out for the weekend?
"Sure it's all right," I said, And
then added—"but the roads are ter-
ribly icy." She was so surprised.
"But there is nothing but slush in
Toronto," she exclaimed. A little
later the phone rang again. Sister
had missed the train. "But there
1s a train going to Georgetown in -
twenty minutes,' could you meet me
there?" site asked.
"We certainly couldn't — not on
these roads," I answered, "You had
better come out in the morning."
So she did, and got a taxi from the
station. On the way here the taxi-
driver told her a bit about the awful
driving conditions the night before.
I was very glad he did because I
was a little. afraid Sister might
think' I had been making excuses
and did not want her to come. But
I needn't have worried because the
paper on Monday morning had all
kinds of stories about traffic tie-ups,
as you very well know. Sometimes
it is hard for people in the city to
realise how different weather con-
ditions can be in the country. So
why beat about the bush? Better
risk giving offence to someone than
to risk life and limb on dangerous
roads. Explanations can mend
hurt feelings but explanations won't
tnend broken limbs.
