The Paralytic Forgiven and Healed. -Mar 2: 1-12, C'ommentary, .-1. eleeue preaching in Capernaian (vs, 1, 2.) 1. Ile entered_ ire to Capernaime-This was lite home city. Ile returned after the great excitement, aroused by the demising of the leper, had subsided, it was noleed that he was in the house-leews spreadrapidly in the Iiiest even in tee absence of modern n1C5fl oecommunieation, Jesus wati proteildy either in the house where he lived with his mother and hie brethren or in that of Peter. The Revised Vele sion, margin, reade, At home." 2. Many were gathered --The people were drawn together partially through curiosity, and partly to receive benefit from Jesus. There were Pharisees and doctors of the law present from Galilee and Judea as far as Jerusalem (Luke 5; 17.) No room to reeeive them -The courtyard, as even tie the house, was filled, toed a crowd was about the door. Preaehed the word -We may suppose that most of thoee who had assembled were expeeting to see some marveloue dieplay of Jesus' power, but , he took oecaelon to declare the gospel to them. II. A needy man brought to Jesus (vs, 3, 4,) 3. They come -Friends of the sick Mau. Sick of the palsy -Palsy, a eoni traction of the word paralysis, is a dis- ease that deprives the part affeeted ol sensation or the power of motion,, or both. This patient was utterly helpless. The disease is considered incurable. "Palsy is a type of sin. Sin in the soul takes all the forms which ps.ralysie doee in the body. 1. It takee away the sense of feeling. 2, It weakens the will so that when men would do good, evil is preeent with them. • They put off duty; tney know, but will not come to a decision, 3. It produces a fixed condition of evil, with intense sufferieg," Borne of four - Matthew says (9: 2) that the sick man - lay npon a bed. He was carried by four, each at a corner of the bed, The poor man could. not have come to Jesus un- • aided, nor could one or two alone have brought him. It required united effort to bring him to the healer. 4. Uncover- ed the Toof-The audience thronged the house to that extent that those who were bringing the sick Man to Jesus could not enter. They therefore ascend- ed the outside stairway to the flat roof, and taking up the tiling, let the sick man down through the opening into the pre- sence of Jesus. "Tim room was pro- bably an upper chamber, which often ex- tended over the whole area of the houee."-Cam. Bib. They let down the bed --The construction of Eastern hou.sea was such that it was not a very unusoal thing to remove a portion of the roof, yet it was an extraordinary sight to see a bed with a siek man in it being let odoeTin2:in.to the house through such an p III. A sinner forgiven (vs. 5-8). .5. Saw their faith -That is, the faith of the sick man, and of his friends who brotight hem. It was manifestly with the sink nian's own consent, and no doubt at his own inatanee, that he wa.s brought. They all, it would appear, had faith in Christ as the great power of God. -Morison. They had heard of Jesus. "And the power. of the Lord was Present to heal them" (Luke 5: 17). They not only believed the report ia but they believed that Jesus would heal in this ease. They acted faith. Sen -A3 term expressive of sympathy and en- dearment. Matthew adds (0: 2): "Be of good cheer," Jesus stew that a word of encouragement was needed. Although his ease was a desperate one, both phys- ically and spiritually, relief was at h.and. Thy sins be forgiven thee -"Thy sine are forgiven." -R. V. The eick man evidently felt himself a sinner in need of pardon. It was the forgven,eseof sin that was more urgent than the heal- ing of the body. The conditions neees- sary to forgiveness, repentance v.nd faith, had surely been met by the al - Dieted man. 6. Serioes-They had charge of the bookie of the law, and were the teaehera and leaders of the nation, They had' been listening to the discourse of Jose.% Reasoning in their hearts -It would seem from the fact that our Lord'e death death had already been decreed (John 5: 18), that these persons, hostile to him, were watching greedily fOT any words or acts of His that they might use against Him. It seemed to them now that their opportunity ti aeeuse him had come. 7. Speak blasphemies - The charge was made because Jeeus had spoken forgiveness to the Palsied man. The eerilees deettered that Jesus, in for- giving sins, had assumed a. prerogative belonging to God alone, and that He was a blasphemer In thus professiag to be divine. It is true that God alone can forgive sins, and Jetaie in doing thie 6 openly declared His divinity. 8. Jesus perceived -This was a miracle of kitowl- edge. The scribes had eaid nothing, but Jesus knew abeoltitely the very thoughts they were thinking. In His spirit -His sout was human, but his "spirit" Was divine, and by this divine faculty Ho penetrated and then revealed to them the "thoughts and intents of the heart" (Heb. 4: 12).-Maclear. Why reason yo theee things in your hearte-Matthew says (0: 4), "Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?" They were unjustly aceusing Ilitn. They Would not reeog. nize Him as divine. Their thoughts .were evil because they were evil, yet Jesus spoke to thont in gentleneee. IV. A palsied men healod.

'Why had the throng of s people assembled'? Who was brought to Jesus? What course was taken to bring the man into the presence of Jesus? What did Jesue first say to the Erick man? What complaint did the scribes make? 'Why did they object to Jesus' words? Who alone can forgive sins? Hovv were the people to know that Jesus could forgive sine?

Genium iv a i‘.`ei to 1 shet. Tepie.-Divine healing. L Of spiritual paralysie, II. Of phyeleal paralysie, 1. of spiritual partile,ele. The audience with whieh Jesus WAS dealing wee a critical one, composed of Pharisees mei doctors off the law from Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. They had come to pass judgment on the new movement under Jesus. The audience was rather in a state of indecision than of symPathy with Jesus. It needed faith to over- eome all the hindranees'in the present ease, faith to be so ahaerbetl. %lid for- getful of all around, tie to let the palsied man down through the roof alto the midst of such an assembly, and that outburet of faith shone out the more brightly in the contraat with the un- belief within the heart of the ecribes who hael cattle to watch and censure Jesus. The deed is her chronicled, but nothing is said to identify the doers. Their act was of greater importance to the werld than their Mmes. Instruc- tion in matters of faith are more bene- ficial than the entertainment afforded in reading of people and what they did. Acts of faith bring valuable results. lt was evidenced in this ease in their con- cern for the welfare of another; in Glieir taking the helpless to Christ; in their swiftness in overcoming difficulties; in the reward, which was infinitely more than they expected. They had praeti- cal faith. They did what was within their power and believed it would bring the needed help. To bring others to Jesus is the noble -et achievement of man. The wondereig crowd regarded their faith as presumetuous and the men as eccentric, but Jesus saw in theit faith an eseential part of the divine plan that faith should, not only benefit its pos- sessor, but extend its kind and salutary influence to others. No sooner did. Jesus see an exhibition of faith in Hie power than He spoke words of essuranee. This energy and determination of faith ex- e&eled any that had been witnessed before. It was the businese of the.four to bring the man to June, but there their power ended. Jesus' first word may have seemed to them to have been remote from the thing needed to be done then and there, but He saw more than a palsied body. He wantecl to do for the man all that he needed, more than he asked or thought. Jesus saw sin and a troubled conseience. Ire saw in. the palsied maxi the miserable wreck of an ill -spent elf°. He therefore made the forgiventee3 of 'sins the initiative of all bleaeings. This act of Jesus was the first in which He made Himself fully known, the firet in which His spirituel authority wag declared. II. Of physical Paralysis. Jesus firat forgave the sins of the paralytie. and then sent health into every fibre of his being. The greater gift ineluded the lase. Here isea forceful illustration of God's plan for all who present them- selves without reserve to Christ. For- giveness was the firet thing which the man required in his misery, for it is not a thing which a man commits and is done with it. It becomee a part of hie being. It is a disease beyond the reach of earthly remedies. Having then disposed of the difficulty whieh most af- fected his happiness, Jesus called forth the true sign of pardoned sin in the obedience of the Paralytic. Ile did his Lord's bidding aecurately, in detail, at once and chearfuliy. His active obedi- ence became an indisputable part of his restoration from ein and eickness. Faith had devised a, plan for bringing the man to Jesus, and the result was a complete cure for the sufferer. Me human rea- soning about divine forgiveness did not hiuder the operation of true faith. Skeptieal reasoning did not prevent the exercise of divine power and lore, Con- cealed prejudiee and hatred were ig- nored, in the testimony of the multitude who confessed the miracle to be the work of God. The man who was car- ried to Jesus "went forth before them all" a new man in spiritual life and physical health. That day's serviee de- monstrated Jesus' mission to earth to the eritical and believing and to the paralytio and his friends. -T. R. A, CALLED TO SOO, Fine Offer Made to Rev. H. A.

McPhers-on, whose father lives at Edinburgh, Scotland, was aged 29, and had been three years in the department. Molyneaux, who had but recently joined, was aged 24, and a native of Listowel, county Kerry, Ireland. Of the other fatalities, Illuett, aged 28, of Napa -nee, Ont., and engaged to a Winnipeg girl, was passing when caught by the explos- ion. Rowley was assisting the firemen. Winker, aged 21, is a son of Mr. and Mrs. J.

Standing on the zinc platform on top of the steel and glass roof covering the trainshop watch- ing the blaze'which lay juet below him jilet north of the subway on Main street he stepped forward through the glass to his death on the pavement below. Con- nolly, a Canadian Pacific Railway em- ployee, appears to have been struck by a falling wire on top of the subway. A boy, Clarence Chapman, whose parents live at 289 Patrick street, was found this afternoon after the smoke had cleared away, dead among the ruins. A big crowd gathered when thealarm went in, but the people were for the most part massed about the entrance to the subway in front of the building, which is situated between the Interna- tional Harvester Company's big ware- house on the southwest corner of Main and Sutherland and the Stuart Machin- ery Company.. Smoke was issuing from the lean-to at the back, but until the explosion earne the firemen appeared to have the eituation under conteol. For it time it was a question whether the adjoining buildings could be saved, but the stout fire walls proved sufficient, and with the help of the high pressure plant the brigade had the situation under control shortly after midnight, though neighbor- ing bitildings suffered considerable loss from water and smoke. A firebug undoubtedly was the cause of the blue°, according to those who should know. Manager Radford claims that the furnaee was out until Monday, while Duilding Inspector Rodgers says an incendiary lutd been working some days in that district. Seven alarnts were rung in last night, all bearing the mark of the firebug.
