This was certainly sensational way
Of doing things, but then necessity
does not always consider the propriety
Of ways and means. Saw their faith"
Jesus saw in this unseemly and un-
usual. act an expression of much conf
dence In him on the part Of the para
lytic and Of his four friends on the
roof. They were sure that he could
heal, and SO they did not hesitate as to
how the patient could be brought to
him. "Thy sins be forgiven thee;;" bet
ter, 'are receiving forgiveness" This
experience of divine grace was to be
continuous. Matthew prefaces this an
nouncement of pardon with the words.
"Be Of good cheer" His sickness had
doubtless been occasioned by sinful
excesses, or 1t may be that he shared
the prevalent belief that sickness was
due to sin. Jesus spoke first to his
greater need. Reasoning in their

scribes betrayed their dissent and dis
approval In their looks. Jesus knew
what they were thinking about, and
this reader Of hearts threw down
challenge in proof of his power to
forgive sins'-to release from the bond
age Of evil. What they considered to
be "blasphemies" in assuming the
functions that belonged only to God
Jesus declared was his special prerog
ative as "the Son of man" This was
the name which he most frequently

healing was spoken the man sprang to
his feet, hale and hearty. and marched
through the audience, who made way
for him. "They were all amazed" The
Pharisees and doctors Of the law were
confused and baffled but the people

and physical miracle and "gloritied
