Modern writer puts it, We see "the

Jesus is represented here as using a
figure drawn from the ancient ,pro-
phets of Israel who conceived the
glorious future age of salvation and
universal 'friendship as inaugurated
by a great feast of all good things.
To it'all people of the world would

past and the futurewould have equal
share and part. See Isaiah 25: 6-8;
26: 19; 2: 2-4; Daniel '7: 14. More
than once Jesus saw in ':,he coaling to

of that new age. Compare Luke 13:

great deal of intense and untiring
activity was crowded into :hose two
years,also_
prier of his teaching
and
both by parables and, otherwise.. The
e,ospel narrative tells us of the multi-
tudes which thronged about him, or
followed him from place to place, at-
tracted by the freshness and power of
his teaching and by the wonderful
-works of healing which he did. But
even more interesting to us than the
multitude are the individual men and
.women, disciples and others, who meet
.him sometimes in the midst of the
throng, more often in his hours apart,
whose spiritual attitudes an needs
were so much like our own—the fish-
ermen by the Lake of Galilee, the
'mentally afflicted and the lepers who
.drew so heavily upon his compassion-
ate tenderness, the paralytic borne by
Iris impetuous friends, the 'ublican
-drawn from the pla.;e of toll by the
magnetic power of. a new erection,
the Pharisee not wholly insincere with
his quibbling gel :.tions about custom
and fashion, the followers John the

•i.eed. Of esoecial and extraordinary
interest is this military officer whose
character and whose faith in Jesus
are so attractively presented in the
lessor before us.
L A GREAT NEED FELT, vs. 5, 6.
Jesus was again in Oapernamn, his
home city (Matt. 4:13), where so
many of his great works of healing
had been done. The centurion, prob-
ably a Roman officer in the employ of
Herod Ancipas, had been an admirer
-of the Jewish people, and through
them h .1 come to know 'Jesus and to
believe in him. It is very much to
leis credit that he thought so highly
of his servant. Luke says that the
servant "was dear unto him." Luke
adds also that he did not himself pre-
'sume to go to Jesus but "sent unto him
elders of the Jews," thinking perhaps
that a Jewish teacherwould be un-
willing to consent to the request of a
Gentile. He Was -to learn by what
'followed the large human sympathy
that was in the heart of Jesus, over-
stepping all barriers of race or nation.
Indeed the coming of this man in his
xieed to Jesus was one of the very first
indications of the power that his per-
son and teaching were yet to gain over
the Gentile world (see v. 11).
It is possible that the centurion
nay have known personally the noble-
man whose son had been healed by
Jesus, according to the story told in
John 4: 46-54. Ile was held in high
• esteem by the Jews of Capernaum, who
said to Jesus, "He is worthy that
thou shouldst do this for him; for he
loveth our nation and himself built us
our synagogue (Luke 7: 3-5). It is
interesting to learn that in recent
times the ruins of a synagogue have
been found at Tell -Hum, believed to
be the site of the ancient Capernaum,
and that an effort is being made to
rebuild it.
The word "palsy" is an old English
shorter form of the Greek "paralysis."
It means the loss of power to move,
-whether wholly or partially. "griev-
ouslyinn this case, the sufferer was gr
ously tormented," it has been conjec-
tured that the case was one of acute
spinal meningitis. -Luke adds that he
was at the point of death,"
II. A GREAT FAITit RECOGNIZED, vs. 7-13.
So simple, so direct, and so great is
this man's faith in the power of Jesus
-that he believes him able to heal by
speaking the word only. He is, he
usays, not worthy that Jesus should
come under his roof. "But only say
the word and my servant shall be
healed."
Moffatt renders verse 9 as follows:
"For though I am r. man under auth-
Ity myself I have soldiers under me:
I tell one man to go, and he goes, I
tell another to come, and he comes, I
tell ity servant; `Do this,' and he does
it." Believing Jesus to be like him -

noticed many cars which were ap-

to dim, even though my lights were in

beam until the spot of light reached
the road 50 feet from the oar, making
it impossible to drive with safety.

and since one of these drivers stopped
