IL JESUS TREATMENT 011' CH/LDREN, 19t 13-15. INTRODUCTION—ODO of the loveliest features in the gospel is the way in ;which Jesus treated children. He was so generous in his thoughts, and so kind in his actions. It is from him that the world has learned to appre- ciate the true value of child life. The study of his relation to the child should include, first of all, a careful reading of the few verses that we have in the gospels about his own childhood. Apparently he grew up in a natural way, accepted the duties and Joys of childhood, and was submissive to authority. Jesus was like us in that he knew all the stages of human life. I. JESUS TEACHING ABOUT CHILDREN, 18: 1-6, 12-14. that ill this MO the children Were Very young, sines, Jess 'takes them in his arms. The disciples represented the usual attitude toward the child. It is not that they were cruel, or 'Wished te injure these little ones; but they simply thought that ehese. infants did not count, .-jesus had More important things to consider, Be had the sick to heal, and the erowis to teach, Then children were quite unfit to receive anything from Jesus, and so these disciples try to protect their Master item useless interruption. V. 14, Jesus resents their actiOn„ and insists upon having the children re- called. The children are an integral part of his kingdom. In fact they are the beet type of membership in the kingdom. They best exhibit the quality necessary for entrance into the kingdom, and for excellence in it. V. 15, In Mark this statement is given that he took them up in his arms and blessed them. Thus his teaching was confirmed by his practice. Many Win Prizes On Grand National Police Chief and Shopgirl Holders of Lucky Tickets V. 1. The circumstances must be noted carefully in order to get the con- nection. The disciples evidently had been discussing the reward which they hoped to receive, and their minds were excited by the hope of great material splendor. There was considerable rivalry as to the various places of honor. Who were to be greatest? V. 2. The chil is found in most crowds, and the present is no excep- tion. Vain attempts have been made to identify this child, and some say that it possibly was Ignatius, who afterwards suffered the death of a martyr for the sake of Jesus. V. 3. The words of Jesus here ap- pear strange and paradoxical. He says that one cannot even enter the king- dom without becoming a child, nrach less attain unto the chief place.' V. 4. This verse explains a Mlle more fully ‘vhat is in the mind of Jesus; and it would seem as if the quality of which he is thinking is humility. But there has been much difference of opinion as to what Jesus really meant in thus holding up for praise the child -stage. Some say that humility is the only feature he had in view. Others claim that the child is not always hemble, and -they ang- gest trustfulness and a readiness to believe what is told him. Some say .that it is the idea of the new begin- ning of the youthful life with its fresh opportunity. A total change is needed, as in John 3: 3, "Ye must be born again." But some say'ehat Jesus is considering the helplessness of the child, its inability to earn its own liv- ing or care for itself, and its depand- ence on the 1 ether and mother. Those who come to Jesus must be willing to admit their own inability to earn the kingdom. They cannot gain it as a reward because of merit. They must accept it as a free gift. It is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. V. 5. But his disciples must not only strive to be like children in their hu- mility, they must also learn to have a real respect for the child. The fol- liwer of Jesus must count the child as a person, worthy of consideration. This is what very few come in chule to do, and Jesus here takes a very vey, Department of the Interior, tests -eat etep forward in advance of hisseveral thousand clinical thermomet- By What New York Is Wearing ANNABELLE WORTHINGTON Crated Dressmaking Lesson, FW, 9218hed Wit1C.E'VerY Pattern Wes Berlin, N.H.—Assistant chief of police Patrick J, Pieette, received a telegram from Ottawa informtug him that he was the winner of third prize as the result of Sir Lindsay's showing in the Grand National race.

This was not a form of punishment common among the Jews. but was known to the Greeks and Romans. V. 12. Jesus had just uttered (v. 10) a truth of exceptional symbolic beauty on the privilege of the child in God's presence. Each child has, as it were, an angel or guardian who represents its interests and welfare in the heasen- ly court. The truth is that God, our heavenly Father, has a minute knowl- edge of each individual life, however obscure it may be. Now he passes on to say that God loves each one, even when it errs and wanders away. The parable of the lost sheep tells of the pains which the Father will endure in order to rescue the sheep. Such is the great compassion which the Father bee for all his children, and this same leve is shared by Jesus. God is love. jESITS TREATMENT OF CHILDREN, 19: 13-15.

At least 540 miles of transmission line will be constructed and every larger centre in the province will be hooked up with tho system, and, of course, the system will pause to pick up all the business it can in the smal- ler eentres. The Legislature has voted $1,500; 000 101' the work and the rest is made. up Of =expended balances from pre- ceeding years, The hydro commis - Moiler, Douglas L.' MacLean, expects ,that the same will be ample for pro- viding transmission lines, sub -stations, generating plants, distributing sys- tems and farm services. During the year 1929 the system served 29,000 customers and had a sue - plus of several thousand dollars. In 1930 it hopes to increase its cus- tomers to 1,000,000 and to increase its surplus to a very substantial amount once the new Mies begin . to carry loads on a commercial basis. The service will be operated on of costs basis, however, with allowances for interest, depreciation and commer- cial reserve, • Danger Ahead Red Society of Godless Aims At 70,000,000 Members by 1933 Moscow.—The recent religious "cru- sade" abroad against atheism in Rus- sia was attacked again when the executive committee of the Society of Godless called for 70,000,000 members of the society by 1933. The call of the committee, which. just concluded its conference, doubled the original five-year plan for 35,000,- 000 members. The increase was des- cribed as due to "the excellent out- look" for atheist propaganda, . The conference condemned the use of force against believers and scath- ingly reprimanded members who have been guilty of coercive interference witAfreedom of worship. At the same time it madeclear a plan for intensi- fication of peaceful agitation against religion. The society accused. the Soviet com- missariat of education with not co- operating sufficiently with the godless movement and demanded greater stress on atheism in schools.
