Jesus said: "Omnipotence knows
nothing Of degrees. One thing is
not easier or harder to it than an
other. 1t is equally as easy to
forgive as to heal, and, vice versa.
But that you may know that I

Power of combination-see that,
too, in this stirring lwords-picture.
| No one of these four believers
could alone have carried his friend
to Jesus. The four together did it
with ease. The children of this
world are wiser in this respect. 1t
IS the age of combination in every
sphere. Much spiritual force is
trlttered away i'll sporadic effort.

the accomplishment of definite
ends. e Persistence is fine

the four got weary in well-doing,
or let go his corner of the mattress.
Faint hearts would have failed at
sight of such obstacles. But these
believers were not made of such
stuff. They did not once look
back, they ran their Gurrow to the
end of the field. This is the quail
ity that wins in every sphere; in
religion no less than art, literature,
commerce, exploration and all.

broken and set at naught that day.
The sermon was interrupted. Plas-
ter came rattling down on the
heads of the auditors. Property
was injured. But what of that, so
sinner was saved? Welcome any
mode that really brings the un-
saved to the golden mercy-seat.
Public worship is a means to an
end, not an end in itself. 1t is
ladder to convey US to the treasury
of grace. Bare ritualism grows very
dextrous in gliding up and down
the ladder; but it never takes one

1t was no matter of caprice
that Jesus went to Capernaum. 1t
was the center of population.
There were nine large cities in i'm
mediate proximity. And the COM
bined population Of the district ap-
proximated three million souls.
Comparatively remote from the
ecclesiastical center of Palestine,
the prejudice to the new Teacher
and His doctrine was correspond
ingly less. There Jesus reached
the masses i'll Jesus. People flew
to Him like iron filings to a mag
net. He drew men to Himself.
He could not be hid. He is still
the most attractive and conspic-
uous parsonage of all history, and
having been lifted up, is drawing
an ever-increasing multitude to
Himself. But each must deter
mine for himself whether this at
traction shall result i'll a permanent
attachment to the Master. Alas
for Capernaum. it was for the most
part curiosity, or mere bodily
healing, or loaves and fishes, that
brought the populace to Jesus; and
so a city exalted to heaven is
brought down to hell. is an ut
ter desolation, as indeed is the
whole region One little, leaky
boat floats on Galilee, where once
a goodly fleet rode at anchor, Jesus
words, Woe unto thee, Caper-
naum!" seem to wake the echoes of
a complete desolation. Once when
Jesus, in the very house where he
was seeking repOse, was beseiged
by an audience that completely
Choked up the courtyard and the
very approach to it, stirring in
Cident occurred. Four men, one
or more OF whom may have had a
personal and happy experience Of
Jesus power to heal, picked up an
afflicted friend as he lay upon his
mat, and brought him joyously
and confidently to the great Healer.
They were not dashed when they
found the ordinary approach hope
lessly blocked. They did not lay
the sufferer down in the street, or
even return with him to his dwell

heaven by storm. They carried
the paralytic up the outside stair
case to the flat roof They dug
up the hard, sun-dried, earthen
roof, enough to. admit of their
lowering their friend into TIE room
below. There were helping hands
reached up from the astonished
auditors below, and the sufferer
was gently and safely landed at
Jesus feet. A mute, but power

were indescribably comforting:

these was the motion to reconsider the all

partial estimate for the paving of Missouri
avenue. The estimate was voted at FRI
days session of the council and amounted
to $5225. The reason for the reconsidera-
ton was the runor of a pending intunc-
tion which was said to have been pre-
pared for service this afternoon to prevent
the payment of estimates in advance of
the actual work There was no attack
on the contracts While the council had

company at the Union stock yards, was
seriously kicked yesterday by a mule The
hoof of the animal struck him on the side
OF the Jaw and caused fracture of the
jaw bone and possibly a fracture at the
base of the brain. He was carried to the
South Omaha hospital in an unconscious
condition, where his wound was dressed.
He partially revived under the reduction
OF the fracture and kicked so on the operat-
ing table that the combined force of the
hospital was needed to keep him from
throwing himself to the floor. The fracture
was wired temporarily. but a later opera

operation he has remained I'm a semi-con-
