Jesus Faces Opposition
Mark 2:3-8; 15-17 3:1-5
Golden Text:—Be not overcome of
avi1, but overcome evil with good.—
Romans 12:21.
Anyone who takes a leading part
isi public life is always the object
of severe criticism. Of course lead-
ers make mistakes which warrant
criticism. But Jesus was exceptional.
He never erred, yet he was intensely
• hated and envied and ultimately
crucified.
Jesus pronounced forgiveness of
sins upon the pian 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
the man. The pian who had come
carried by four, walked out carrying
his bed..
Then they found fault because
Jesus ate with publicans and sinners.
He erred socially. He replied by as-
serting, "I came not to call the
righteous. but sinners to repent-
ance."
The third criticism recorded in
the lesson was that of healing on
the Sabbath. The man with the
withered'hand in the synagogue was
probably "planted" by the Pharisees.
They watched. He asked the man
to stand forth, and inquired. "Is it
lawful- to _do good on the sabbath
days, or to do evil, to save life or
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 J sue veer
from His course, though Ile knew
3t would lead to the Cross. He'con-
titnied to forgive sins, befriend the
A. Real Giant
r_)ne of the best-kuown giants in
nlcdern medical history was Ro-
bert Watdow of Alton, Illinois, who
died in 19-10 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
hoepitai to find out why the boy
was growing so fast.
;d !rough he weighed only nine
pounds ,at birth, he weighed 30 b,•
the time 'le was six months old. A5
a year anti a half he weighed h). At
nine. he had reached a height of
six feet one inch, and weighed 178.
At 18, when he entered college,
Robert W'adlow was eight feet three
and. a half inches tall and stilt
growing, although his muscular de.
veleptnnent was beginning to slow
down. Hitherto his appetite had
been normal, but now it began to
increase so rapidly that he had to
have 8,000 calories a day, compared
to the rtorinal intake if. 2,500 to
i t is easier to swim up 'Niagara
Palls than to promote the Brother-
hood of Man by inciting (lass
hatrede
outcasts of society that he might
lift them from sin and shame -to hap-
piness, and to do good on the Sab-
bath.
When we are censured it is well
that we exatnine ourselves. One has
said, "My critics are the unpaid
guardians of my soul." We may
learn some valuable lessons fano
our critics. But if we are follow -
Ing closely the example of Jesus, let
us keep on despite the unkind words
that may be spoken of us. Let tsar
"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 his
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 tell
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 on the walls, and
marble columns down the Hall.
Two seats had been reserved for us.
in a tissc or cnatrs on either—sine
of the dais, and a band played all
the time we waited for the King to
appear. If anybody'd told file, when
I was in 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'd
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 /s 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, tell jokes, do the `Tittles'
crossword puzzle each day. They
still grumble at everything, yet it 13
wonderful how they manage to
keep their lives so faithfully order-
ed."
The Rt, Rev, M. H. Yashiro, the
Presiding Bishop of Japan.
Ignorant
Driving through the mountains of
Tennessee, a young lady stopped to
ask an elderly man the way to Coffee
Hill School.
"lWTe11, miss," said the native, "you
go down here until you come to
Hangin' Rock and then—you know
where that is, dontclta:"
"No," replied any friend, "I don't
believe 1 do."
"Well, that's where you turu off
and go on two miles until e,ou lyat
to Tumblin' Creek, You katow
where that is, dontaha?"
'No, I don't."
"1'm sorry, miss" said the native
shaking his head regretfully. "I
don't think you know enough for me
to tell you anything."

We sled a near -tragedy in our
'annual family last week—and 1 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 Marlc 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 on the floor,
stiff as a ramrod, mouth open and
showing absolutely no sign of life
at all. As 1 picked him up I won-
dered what on earth the pup could
have done to knock him out so com-
pletely. "Perhaps she grabbed his
throat—perhaps he needs air," 1
thought. So I rain 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 to have
you die like this." However, I kept
on rubbing --and Mark kept twitch-
ing. And then he opened his eyes!
Then, lie 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 I 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.
"ssFliidsdereet 'ci:'se. a..d-. .lea emsee
Nothing at a11. Hone had done no
more than she had any other time
—I think it was just that the cat,
being asleep, was taken off guard.
I believe the pup must have grab-
bed hien near the end of his spine
and he dropped like a log to the
floor.
Believe me, we are certainly glad
Mark recovered. Apart from the
fact that he is a splendid pet, he 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 tate road today," I had no
idea what he was talking about until
I looked outside. Ob 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 niy sister
phoned — would it be ail right if
she carne 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
is a train going to Georgetown in
twenty minutes, could you meet me
there?" she asked.
"We certainly couldn't not on
these roads," I answered. "You bad
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 stow 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
mend broken limbs.
