Graphic Lesson Story.

In teaching this lesson We can en-
OF public worship, the observance OF
day set apart for that purpose and
the public reading and exposition of
Gods work We can also lay stress
upon Jesus's knowledge and use of
the Scriptures; also his emphatic ap-
proval of inspired prophecy as ap-
piled to, and fulfilled in his own life.
In teaching the young scholars these
truths, the graphic lesson story will
be all and probably more than can
we'll be covered during the lesson
hour.
For the older scholars, one question
for discussion would be, why does the
Son of God speak of or claim the
spirit of the Lord upon me?" OF
course he was anointed after Johns
baptism as an example to all his fol-
lowers, but here we take it as mean
ing that the Spirit Is upon him in
real manner for service and for power
in service. He is to witness and to
minister. He is to teach and to heal.
He is to preach the Gospel to the poor
and deliverance to those bound with
the chains of ceremonialism and OF
sin. He is to heal broken hearts and
diseased bodies, to set the captives
free and heal the bruised ones. Verse
IS is a sad picture of the state of
man without outside help. But Jesus
came into the world for this express
purpose John S:12. 13; Matt. 1:21.
This prophecy means me-" Come
unto me-" was indeed bold proclama-
tion Did they believe? Are you
making such bold claims for your Mas
ter and Lord? Some will reject of
course, but let us remember that God

Israel for sustenance.
Do not forget the searching fact
that there were those who knew him
best through long association, yet they
reject him. Our peril is to know him
and yet reject his fellowship. Let us
emphasize that verse in Johns Cos
pei which follows the Golden Text
1:12), But to as many as received

LESSON TEXT-Luke 4:16-30
GOLDEN TEXT-"He came unto his
own, and they that were his own received
him not."-John Ill.
Cannon Farrar has said that this
visit of Jesus to his home in Naza-
reth is "a most striking commentary
upon" the words of John, which form
our Golden Text. Those words are
the epitome of this lesson in very
real sense. The young prophet had
been proclaimed by his counsin John
the Baptist as he who was to come.
He had performed his early Judean
ministry, which includes the visit of
Nicodemus, and the meeting of the
woman of Samaria. John had been
shut up in prison and Jesus was about
entering upon that wonderful Cali
lean ministry.
In this lesson we can see him as he
returns to his boyhood home, to those
old and most familiar scenes Of his
youth.
Day of Vengeance.
GAS his custom was" (v. 16) he en-
tered the old familiar synagogue to
take part in the worship, praise and
discussion, as had long been his Gus
tom in this his home town. Here it
was he had learned of the law and the
prophets, here he had heard the
prophecies discussed, here he had un-
doubtedly participated in the discus
sions in the days gone by, for after
the worship he is asked to conduct the
reading of the second part Of the
service, selection from one of the
prophets, undoubtedly that portion for
the regular reading of the day. His
method of reading was very significant.
Finding a portion from the prophecy
of Isaiah, chapter 81, he reads that
portion as we now have 1t recorded,
comprising verse one and in verse two
to the first punctuation mark, COM
ma. This. said he, Is being fulfilled
before your eyes, implying that the
concluding portion, that which refers
to "the day of vengeance of our God
is yet to be fulfilled or performed.
Just what his expositicG may have
been Luke does not tell us, although
he leads us to believe that he made

tongue of this son Of the village car
penter was more than challenge; it
sounded of blasphemy 1t is one thing
to listen to beautiful platitudes, but
for one to assume authority such as
this at once arouses antagonism.
To make this still more plain, he
makes a specific application. To para
phrase his words, he said, doubtless
you are saying, young man perform
here in Nazareth some of those mira
cles you performed over in Caper-
naum. but say you would not accept
me even then. for no prophet is ac-
ceptable to his own countrymen." Then
he goes on to illustrate by an incident
from the wife of Elijah, also one from
the life of Elisha.

Finally Find Acid Thrower.

York-A sensational vitriol throw
ing of five years ago has been revived
with the arrest in Lowell, Mass, of
Mrs. Mildred Cartledge, under indict-
ment here for the crime. The woman,
who fed from the city after dashing
acid into the face of Miss Cora Krout,
whom she accused of intimacy with
her husband was only recently locat-
ed. The Indictment was promptly Sc
cured, the statute of limitations being
no bar to her prosecution. The acid
throwing occurred upon public
street here, June 15, 1907. Francis j..
Cartledge, the husband, was superin-
tendent of the York Knitting Mill, and
the Krout girl was an operative. AS
she hurled the contents of the bottle
she had concealed under a raincoat,
Mrs. Cartledge cried that she would
spoil whatever beauty her husband
had found in the girls face. Her aim
was true and her victim, who was con
fined for a time to the York hospital,
still bears the scars of the soaring
acid. After accomplishing her pur-
pose Mrs. Cartledge had hurried to
her home and locked herself in, later
slipping out of the city. When the
hubbub calmed she came back to York
and, though child wSs born during
her stay at her old home, the authori-
ties failed to detect her presence,
searching for her far away. She also
lived near SiXtieth and Cedar avenue,
Philadelphia, during part of her eX-
lie Her immunity at the time was
attributed to the possibility of threat
ened revelations by her involving
prominent Workers in scandal.
