was this challenging fact of goodness
that stirred the evil to cry out and to
fear. Evil felt the antagonism of
goodness in the life of Jesus and
while no word had been said against
it, must force the issue and push it
self into the light, saying, what are
you going to do with me? Are you
come to destroy me?" John uses
significant phrase: "The wrath of
the Lamb" Toplady, l think, some
where said thart was the only compar-
ison he could find for the passion of
the Americans as they flung them
selves into the war for righteousness
among nations. For there is nothing
so terrible as goodness when it has
become aroused and the forces of evil
cannot abide it without terror Jesus
meant that the lives of His followers
should have the same effect and was
glad that upon this very first day
of special training these disciples
should learn something of the sepa-
rateness of the character they were to
cultivate from weakness of sentiment
tally and its positiveness in the pres
ence of wrong in any form.
THE MINISTRY OF THE HOME.
Jesus was home lover. If one
could visit that one in Nazareth where
He was head probably for many years
one would have found its life bene-
diction. He loved to enter the homes
of others and there is never an invita-
ton to any home that carries the
record of a refusal He sought for
invitations and this hause of Peters
must often have sheltered Him. From
the synagogue service they go direct
ly to its hospitable door. 1t is pos
sible that Peter had not been home
for a day or so. and did not know
his mother-in-laW was sick, but it is
the first thing heard on entering. And
it is serious for DR.. Luke calls it a
great fever. Jesus passes to the pal
let upon which she was lying and took
her gently by the hand in fullest SYM
pathy with her suffering and raised
her up, rebuking the fever, and in
stead of weakness that would be ex-
pected, she rose and ministered to
them. Jesus does no halfway work.

THE FIRST DAY IN SCHOOL.
Bishop Mcdowell tells good story
from his own boyhood on his uncle's
farm. 1t was spring and the time
for sowing grass seed. in the dimness
of early day they drove to the brown
field where the soft soil was ready
to receive its gift of harvest. The
older man slung a sack over his
shoulder and striding across the acres
reached his hand in and flung its
contents far and wide with every step.
The boy watched him with wide-open
wondering eyes, until his return for
more seed. Then taking little sack
he bound it upon the boys shoulders
and said, "Now, you do it." And the
boys tiny handfuls sprayed them
selves over the waiting soil. Jesus
did the same thing for those four men
called to become fishers of men in this
first day in their school with the Mas
ter. Their task was to watch Him at
work, that seeing how He did it they
might learn to do it also. Did it
merely happen that that first day was
the Sabbath? Or was it chosen be-
cause within it lay the secret of ser
vice? But it is not strange at all
that it should contain a synagogue
period of worship for only Worship
ing souls can fling seed straight into
waiting burrows. Jesus never failed
to worship in the Jewish place of
meeting, however dead and barren
might seem its Journalism until the
doors were closed upon His entry
Whatever might be its lack, it was the
highest that the day offered and He
would use it. and the man who trades
the church for the Sunday paper, how
ever much the church may deserve his
criticism, has chosen a lower rather
than a higher thing. He admits it and
then turns another page. So Jesus
took them to church as the first step
in their equipping for Apostleship.
And it was a great service, for Jesus
spoke and the people wondered at
the words that broke through the
fence of form and led them into the
fragrant fields where God, the Father,
walked. These were no musty
phrases from old rolls, but Marks

in the service. A sudden cry startled
the worshippers and a man flung him.

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
Permission Without Sanction.
Continued from last week.

God could not prevent the captivity
of Israel. l speak this reverently
True, He was omnipotent, but the
choice of Israel was along the line
that made it inevitable that she
should reap the reward of iniquity.
Being free to choose, she was vivify-
ing the divine law of sowing and
reaping.
The nation sowed to the wind and
must reap the whirlwind, though it
took seventy years of captivity in
Babylon to reap the bitter harvest.
Jerusalem, the city of David, the
great king, was doomed to destruc-
ton. Jesus as He wept over her, saw
the inevitable end of her awful course
and He was the chief mourner at the
funeral
Joseph's brethren would have killed
him, but Jehovah so directed it that
good was made to result. Reuben's
heart was softened and when he was
absent the rest were permitted to sell
Joseph to Ishmaelitish merchants.
They would enslave the boy for gain,
but God so directed it that Joseph
was taken to Egypt, where he purpos-
ed to send him. 1t was the Lords
directing influence over the minds of
the wicked men.
We may refer to Judas and doom.
To the Jews who rejected the Messiah
and the fearful consequences of their
act.
God permits but does not produce
sinful dispositions. Israel's cry for
food brought quails, but it also
brought leanness of soul. But why
grant their request? 1t is the mys-
terry of sin and of mans freedom to
do wrong as we'll as right; to sin or
refuse to commit it.
The Lord cannot keep from US what
we want without violating our free
dom of will. Compel a man to do
right and you make a machine of him.
We cannot do for loved ones any more
than we have done, so must stand
back and let them take their own
course. If God forced US it would
not be moral world and we would
cease to be men, in the sense we are
now. Balaam's only chance in the
end was to have his sin come to light.
Who of US is safe in this world?
What we lust for, long for, given
our hearts to, and desire and re-
quest of God and from man, that to

spirit. Should He yield to this insis-
tent call to minister to real need? Or
was there a higher call than this ?
Peter and the rest were perfectly sure
that this was the thing to be done, for
was not all the city clamoring for
Him? But the way had grown clear
during that hours communing, in
which the higher hunger had been fed
and there is nothing in the record to
show that they even returned to the
house for breakfast, but set out i'm
mediately to reach others with the
message of the Kingdom. The min
istry of worship, of character, of home
courtesy, of prayer, were all included
in this first day of school; certainly
enough to be the beginning of great
changes in these men who were in it.

which we bind our life's energies
and desire as the chief good-that
we get as a rule 1t may be tempting
God, but if we choose the world well
get it.
Ahab's selfishness is seen when
famine was blighting his land, and his
people were writhing in the clutches
of hunger. We night expect the king
to do what he could to alleviate the
sufferings of his people, and turn to
God, but his true character was mani
tested. He thought only of his horses
and mules and his supreme care was
to save them So he starts on a
grass-finding mission. What amazing
selfishness. Horses and mules are
preferred to his people. He wac
seeking grass instead of God. Such
seltishness is rife today 1t prompts
the graf ones of earth to array arm
les against each other in awful bat
tie lust to crafty a mere personal
pique, and regardless of the awful
misery that must follow, the broken
hearts and desolate homes.
Such selhshness as that makes men
of wealth and fashion lcll on downy
beds of ease, fare Sumptuously every
day, Indifferent to the wretchedness
of those who earn their wealth for
them.
Such selfshness still spends on a
horse, on automobile or a round of
pleasure in day more than they pay
for the maintenance of Gods work or
the relief of the poor in a whole year
Nor are protesting Christians clear
in this matter There are those who
will spend on a single dimes party or
entertainment far more than they
give for evangelizing the world Some
leaders in the social life will spend
more on a hat or bonnet than they
give in year for the cause of the
Master they claim to love and serve
Well, they would better not throw a
stone at Ahab for hunting grass for
his beasts while his people are left
to take their chances. If this spirit
were replaced by that of Christ, our
missionary enterprises would have all
the money they need; our churches
would want for nothing that is for
their advantage: the toiler would not
see his schemes blighted by the east
wind of want
am not saying anything against
Christian men maintaining them
selves in the position in which God
placed them. That is their duty Il
