THE SON OF COD AT WORK, EMANCIPAT ING AND DELIVERING, lNTRODUCTION~"The Pharisees, who were the strictest upholder? of the law in Jesus’ time, aimed at bringing the whole life of the Jewish people under the ceremonial requirements of that law. They were not content with what the written law demanded, but added a multitude of observances which had no foundation except tra-,- ditional usage. These extra obs v- apces concerned matters like alms giving, prayer, and fasting. For ex ample, whereas the written Law re quired fasting only on one day in the year, namely, the Day of Atonement, the Pharisees were accustomed (at least at certain seasons) to fast two days in evgry week, and they insisted on all religious people doing the same.. In the same way the Pharisees multi plied the rules relating to the Sab-1 XfuRfii t’he regula- the dmnewill, It was enough that th d asked him to conie Ihl? th“edy tween the religious and the non-reli- gious classes. Jesus, on the other hand, declared many of these observ ances to be contrary to the will of the heavenly Father. He insisted that God wished joy and not gloom, freedom and not oppression, life and of death. In our lesson to-day we see him as Emancipator and Deliverer. I. FASTING AND THE DIVINE WILL, 2: 18-22.

The tuber itself miay look desirable in every way and yet it may inherit weaknesses that prevent it yielding a really good crop. Diseases of one kind or another take heavy toll of the crop. It is import- -ant, therefore ’to be assured of the healthfulness of the potatoes that ; may be selected this winter for plant ing in the spring. What ’has now- come to be known- as certified seed po tatoes, that is potatoes _ reasonably free from’^Bisease, can be secured in The Pharisees did not like the Herod- aJl the provinces from s growers ians, the political party which sup- > that have had their fields inspected by ported the administration of Herod 1 Dept, of Agriculture officials who are V. 4. The> question of Jesus must have taken his critics by surprise. He asks, in effect, if not to do good on the Sabbath is, not equivalent to doing evil, if not to save life is not equival ent to taking life away. This puts an unexpected aspect- upon the problem of suffering. There must be no delay in healing even on the Sabbath. Vs. 5, 6. The- sullen silence of his critics rouses Jesus to indignation. He sees how hara their hearts have become in spite of their profession of religion. Deliberately ignoring their objections, therefore, he heals the man. The Pharisees retaliate by at once concerting plans for Jesus’ death. Antipas. But now m their hatred of Jesus they form common cause with this party. CANADIAN SHIPPING The shipbuilding trade In Canada is making slow but steady progress back towards the records of half a century ago, but is still far behind the figures of those days, In 1875 a tonnage of 188,098 was recorded. In 1925 the tonnage built was 36,147. In 1926 the shipbuilding tonnage Increased co 39,840. There was a slight decrease in the tonnage of ocean-going vessels qslng Canadian ports hilt tlip coastwise tonnage shows an Increase of over 2,000,000 tons. The figures for the last three years are as follows: Oeean-go-lng 74,947,373 77,939,051 75,656,827 The number of vessels entering Canadian ports in 1926 waa 21,185 of which 12,080 were of British registry and 9,105 of foreign registry. On Inland waters 7,882 Canadian vessels with a tonnage of 6,365,524 entered Canadian ports as well as 18,158 United States vessels, of a tonnage of 7,751,575, -This shows a decrease of over 5,000 Canadian vessels and 15,000 United States ves sels on inland waters, the figures for 1925 being 13,140 Canadian-and 33,263 United States vessels. Within thfe Empire During 1927 ■4.. variety names advertised in Canadian seed catalogues in 1923. In making up the list a large number of synony mous names were eliminated and only the varieties of special merit were retained. None of these standard varieties of seed can now be sold under any other than its established name..

The British Tradition London Daily Telegraph (Cons.): (Lord Birkenhead declares that the British people have ever been, for bet ter or worse, romantic and inclined to sentiment.) What country has so often heard its statesmen appeal to emotion? Where shall we find a more ruthless distrust of logic and reason? It is true that this unintellectual tem per produces some of the effects of caution. Out national affection for a half-measure and a compromise is its foster-child. The only statement in our history who has dared to say that his motto was "Thorough” was im peached and died on the scaffold. We have never felt that these men. of sys tem could bo trusted.

Israel’s history is’ beginning.. Compare Isaiah 61:10. . V. 20. The other side of-the happy picture. Grief and fasting are in place when the bridegroom is “taken up. This may be a reference to Jesus’, death, which caused his disciples to fast, or it may be an illusion to the fate of John the Baptist. John had been taken away from his disciples, and therefore, a sorrowful mood was appropriate enough to tl 3 latter. Jesus thus explains the fasting of John’s disciples, but says that his own are excused. Vs. 21, 22. Two little parables are added to illustrate the incompatibility of the religion of Jesus with such in stitutions as ceremonial fastirfg. The first parable should be rendered thus: “No one stitches a patch of new (un- shrunlc) cloth upon an old coat. If he does, the piece filled, in takes away, from the coat, the new (cloth) from the old, and the rent is made worse.” In other words, the new religion of joy (Christianity) does not agree with the old religion of fasting (Judaism). John and his disciples belong to the old religion, and for that reason they continue to fast. The second parable about new wine needing new bottles (wineskins), means that Jesus cannot express the true ideal of God’s service uder the old forms of Judaism.* II. JESUS AND THE SABBATH, 3:1-6. Vs. 1-3. A test case was provided by the presence in the synagogue one day of a man with a withered (paralyzed) hand.
