Israel.”
The Lord took the centurion at his
word. He did not go to his home,
but, miraculously and instantly even
at a distance, He healed the sick
man. “And they that were sent, re
turning to the home, the servant
whole that had been sick.”
Here was simple, direct deep and
unquestioning faith in Christ.
Saviour always loves to honor
faith.
Love—The- folowing day the
was going into the city called Nain;
as He aproached a dead man was
being carried out of the city gate—
a young, man “the only son of his
mother and she was -a widow.” We
need little imagination to realize her
heartbreak.
Did she ask the [Lord to raise her
son from the dead? Apparently she
had not such thought. Did others
ask Him, No one spoke a word. But
“when the Lord saw her. He had
compassion on her, and said unto
her, “Weep not.” Not the woman’s
faith, not the intercession of friends
but the love of God was the whole
motive and reason for the astounding
miracle now wrought.
Oriental people are scrupulously
careful not to touch a corpse or a
bier; yet the Lord Himself “came
and touched the bier.” The bearers
stood still—doubtless in shocked
amazement. Then the Lord said:
“Young man, I say unto thee, arise
And he that was dead sat up, and
began to speak. And 1-Ie delivered
him to his mother.”
It was a blessed, wonderful demon
stration -ofi the miracle-working
power of God’s love. “Love never
faileth," for “God is love.”
. The people were fear-stricken, yet
“they glorified God, saying . , that
God hath visited His people.”
Doubt—John tihe Baptist, the fore
runner of 'Christ, commissioned to
do a great and mighty work, was in
prison. He had been cast into pris
on by the adultrous King Herod be
cause he had dared to rebuke the
king of his sin. It was not easy for
the herald of Jesus Christ, who had
had a nation-wide following, to be
set aside, and then apparently ignor
ed in his imprisonment hnd helpless
ness by the Messiah whom he
proclaimed. We can understand
Jolm sent friends to the Lord
the question: “Art Thou He
should -tcome, or look we for
other?”
Here was honest, troubled doubt
on the part of a true servant of God.
The Lord Jesus made no answer.
But in the presence of John’s mes
sengers, “in that same hour He cur
ed many of their infirmities and
plagues, and of evil spirits; and un
to .many' that- were blind He
sight. Then Jesus answering said
unto them. “Go your way, and tell brothers and one sjster also survive.
John what things ye have seen and . Wm. McAllister, of Edmonton; Chas,
heard;, how that the blind see, the of Toronto; Arthur of Georgetown lame’walk, the lepers are cleansed I and Mrs. Peter Moir, of Hay Town-
the deaf hear, the dead are raised ship.I
The
such
Lord
had
why
with,
that
an-
to the,poor the gospel Is preached.”
So the Lord had answered John’s
question, alter all. And answered it
convincingly, conclusively. When
the messengers had gone back to
John with their answer, the Lord
paid a glowing tribute to the great
ness of the imprisoned prophet, say
ing: “Among those that are born of
women there is not a greater prophet
than John the Baptist.” As Dr. Sco
field says: “Having gently removed
His servant’s doubts, the Lord bears
witness to him before others. He
knows when to remove and where,
and when, to praise.”
■Let us not forget that the miracles
wrought by the Lord were His cre
dentials, signs and evidence of His
person, His deity, His Messiahship
and Saviourhood. The Revised Vers
ion translates the word “miracle” as
“sign” in % numbers of passages.
Unbelief—John’s troubled and
honest doubt was not unbelief. But
now we come- to that as we read that! boggan struck a rough spot on the
“the Pharisees and lawyers rejected ' * - ’ • 1 —-------------------
the counsel of God against them
selves, being not baptized of Him.”
They were self-centred, conscious of
no need, not real believers in God,
rejecting, and hating His Son. By
their own attitude and action they
were condemned to eternal death.
That is the penalty, of deliberate,
persistent unbelief, for “he that be-
lievoth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in
name of the only begotten Son
God” (John 3:18).
Faith—The closing incident of
chapter brings us to another “great
faith’,’—not of a righteous man, but
of a sinful woman. She. came to the i Rev. J. H. Barnett DtD., was re

Education, broadly speaking,
the process of changing and shaping
lives. The early years of a life are
the most .susceptible to this mould-
• ing, but it is a process that is as
long as life itself. Home, friends,
and daily work, have always been
the greatest educational institutions
and they are still doubtless more in
fluential than schools, which are to
be compared rather with such other
institutions as the press, the church/
the theatre and the radio—to men
tion a few of the others in order of
the amount we spend on them.
The annual expenditure on Cana
dian school and 'universities in re
cent reais has been about 160 mil
lion dollars. Newspapers, maga
zines, books, and printed, advertis
ing matter, have1' been produced an-
| uually in Canada to the value of 70
or 80 million dollars and the value
1 of imports of this kind has exceed
ed exports eacih year by more than
ten millions. Thus we. seem to have
been paying something like 100 mil
lion dollars for our reading mater
ial, or nearly two-thirds as much
as for schools.
Church .finances are not publish
ed in all cases, bu«t a reasonable "es
timate for their receipts seems to foe
about 70 millions, or rather less
than half of the expenditure on
schools. The annual receipts of mo
tion picture theatres are about thir
ty million dollars. New radios and
licenses dost in the neighborhood of
15 million dollars, and there is also
the cost -of programs to consider.
Adding together what we pay for
tihe press, the church, the movies
and .the radio, the sum is much high
er thail for schools. If we knew,
to, the cost of such other education
al influences- as sports, holidays,
clubs and hobbies, we would be bet
ter able to place the schools in their
proper setting among the whole fra
ternity of educational institutions.

There are five sharply etched pic

Luke’s .Gospel—Faith, Love, Doubt,
Ubelief, Faith.
Faith—A Gentile was going, to
show more faith in Christ than any
one, so far, of all God’s 'Clioosen.
people Israel-to whom Christ'came.
This Gentile was a military; man, a
Roman centurion, or captain of ohe
hundred soldiers. He had a favorite
servant who “was sick and ready, to
die”. The centurion had heard of
the Lord Jesus, and sent Jewish el
ders beseeching that He “would come
and (heal his servant.” These Jews
urged this, saying that the centur
ion was a worthy man, for “he lov-
est our nation, and he hath built us
a synagogue.”
The Roman officer was a humble
man as well as worthy and devout,
and ihe sent word: “Lord, trouble
not Thyself, for I am not worthy
that Thou shouldost enter under my
room . . . but say in a word, and
my servant shall be healed.” He
added, very, respectfully, that he
himself knew what it was to take or

knew that the Lord heed speak but
