THE VOICE OF THE MASTER
What went on in the home no man
knows. How long Jesus was there
is unexplained, but the result of the
visit is fully expressed. There was
no change in the man; it was the
same swift decision, the same alert
thinking that had been before, but it
arranged the mans life about a new
center. Hitherto he had put Fac
cheus at the heart of all his endeav-
ors, but now Christ was there and
others rather than himself were to be
served. He would give half his goods
to feed the poor. What is all this
talk about a tenth that is too much
to be required Of modern Christians?
Zaccheus would none Of it. He was
grinning cheerfully as he said in re-
ply to the suggestion: God and l
are going to be partners from this on
and that means fifty-ffty to me-"
Throw his pocket-book in too" said
a by-stander, as a VIGOROUSLY close
man was being immersed. Money
talks and usually tells the truth
about a mans religion. And there
was to be no unrepaired wrongs on
the back trail. Zaccheus would right
every one 50 far as he could find
them. Old debts are a poor recon-
mendation for a new life. And the
Master joyously proclaimed him a
SON and gave this as the reason
for all His seeking for him. And
it is still "sons" that Christ searches
for in the world

THE STRATEGY OF JESUS.

There is little wonder that Jesus
was attracted by such a character.
He had doubtless heard Of him be-
fore reaching Jericho, for Matthew
would have known him and may have
been an acquaintance or friend. The
same medium may have stirred the
desire Of Zaccheus and urged the
seeing of this strange Man who had
chosen a publican for one of His in
Inmates. 1t may have been Matthew
who was on the lookout and gave the
name Of the small figure clinging to
an outstretching limb. Certainly,
He did not get it from the crowd tho
He may have seen him as they look
ed and called their sneering terms.
Jesus had a passion for men and
the sight Of such a fellow as his po-
sition revealed him to be set the Sa-
vior's soul aAame with desire to win
him for the Fathers Kingdom. 1t
was not enough to confer a blessing,
the whole current of that forceful
life must be changed if Christ's pur-
pose were to be realized. And the
effective strategy Of the Master
stands clear here, for the first call
was that Zaccheus do Him a favor.
There was need of quiet talk to-
gether and Jesus captured the mans
imagination by brushing aside con-
vention as strikingly as he had done
it himself by climbing the tree. 1t
was as tho the understanding eyes
that looked into his own were say
ing, 'Zaccheus,, | want you to know
that | can climb a tree, too, and |
want it to be your tree; let Me come
up." The soul of the man leaped
clear down and swore allegiance long
before the swift movement carried
the small body down the trunk. What
that man wanted, He could have! 1t
was the instant decision character
istic of the publican, now the host.
pardon is not reconciliation" writes
Bishop Mcdowell, and Jesus would
not leave any soul half way. God
was in Christ reconciling the world
unto HIMSELF" is the way Paul puts
it, for reconciliation is the wiping
out Of all differences in the heart of
both while pardon is on one side.
Christ's supreme strategy lies in this
field and His method appears in His
approach to this man of His desire.
THE VOICE OF THE CROWD.
The crowd has a way Of showing
its disapprovel for whatever hap
pens, and it growled itself hoarse
over the surprising action of this
strange Rabbi. 1t was an insult to
all the priests in town. 1t was
outrageous that SC. great a figure
should go to the home of a social
outcast. What "Scab" is to the mem
bers of a union publican" was to the
Jew. No redemption, no pardon is
possible unto the third generation
and the storm that Jesus raised that
day is perfectly understandable
Crowds are swayed by prejudice
far more than by reason but to allow
that to become the final judge is to
dethrone justice and crown the mob.
And Jesus made no attempt to JUS
placate the murmuring throng. He
dared be unpopular, dared do the I'M
popular, that He might win a man
for The kingdom. He weighed a man
against a crowd and the mans soul
sank. He will weigh a man against
a world in which hate rules and take
the man and die for him. And in the

over the slow progress he determin-

On talking it over with a fellow pas

undertake to do a thing, do it," TAX
ing it as a motto he has followed
it ever since with the best results.
But long before his day there was
another man who had the same rule
and that was Zaccheus. Jesus was
on His way to the Passover Feast in
Jerusalem and would pass through
Jericho. All the city was stirred.
Priests who We're a large part Of the
population, continually discussed
Him; some, favorably; others, CUES
tinoningly; most, bitterly. The sick

desperate eagerness, the business

of the Chief Publican whose care it
was to see that a proper tax result

city affairs. The stir of the coming
crowd, the shouts of the seeing
blind beggar who ran eXultantly in

sent a thrill of excitement thru the
entire town. Zaccheus was going to

He pointed out that a few years ago
there was a popular idea that can

forts of the National Gamers Asso-

Washington traced down reports of
ptomaine poisoning and out of 100
cases thoroughly investigated, only
two were attributed to the eating of
canned food, and in these two cases,
the foods were not commercially can

The speaker told the Rotarians
that $4,OO0,O00 is paid annually for
the raw materials canned in the State
of Maine, and that the amount paid
for labor in connection with the in
dustry nearly totals the same amount.

The first parachute Jump from an
| airplane ever staged in this city and
what is believed by many to be the
first one ever pulled off in Maine,
was witnessed by big crowd Fri
| day morning about 9.45 at the Mus
| ter field, when Daredevil Sparks
descended in our midst, wearing a
white silk umbrella. Shortly after
WaSd, following a series of dips and
| ducks, turns and whirls and a folling
leaf nose spin, his partner, Pilot
| Marie L. Fogg, arrived in what

able manner although thrilling
enough to the ordinary human be-
ing.
About $50 the airplane was dis
! cerned coming toward the city from
the northeast. After circling the
field once the machine was headed
into the wind and Sparks made his
way to the wing tip. Standing there
for minute, a small parachute sud
denly beloved in the wind and he
plunged toward the earth. For a Sec
ond he fell at terrific speed, then
suddenly the Chute" opened and
the speed of his descent was greatly
diminished. En- route to the earth
just tritling distance of a thousand
feet from the field Sparks hung by
his knees to the ropes hooked to the
parachute. ~,...
Nearing the earth he rapidly ap-
preached telegraph pole on the
edge of the field, and as the point
of the pole did not look very inviting,
he began to swing his body to slip
the parachute to one side. This
brought him in such a position that
when within a few feet of solid
ground, he was forced to push off
from the roof of the officers mess hall
in order to alight on the ground,
which he did successfully. The dis
dance? Why, merely $500 feet.
AS soon as this was done, Fogg,
who had been sailing around watch
ing his partner, started something on
his own hook. Side slips and turns,
ups and downs, all sorts of stuff was
pulled off until it seemed as If the
machine must be hinged in the mid
die to accommodate itself to the curves
that the daring pilot cut. Then

After posing for several hundred
pictures, more or less, the two pilots

went to the State House to get a
new flying license and to find out
about the flying laws of the State.
In the afternoon the pilots were
hosts to the city editor and reporter
from the Kennebec Journal. Both men
were given a fine ride and chance to
get an altogether new viewpoint of
their native city. The ride was a new
experience to the reporter and was one
of the most enjoyable events Of his life.

was blown from the station to call
the remainder of the department.
The firemen played water on the
fire from the inside of the building
but were unsuccessful in eXtinguish-

sary to carry the hose up over the
roof of the high building and then
play the stream through the win
dows in the ridge. 1t was extremely
difficult to get the hose up to that
height and the flames spread rapidly
while this was being accomplished.
and while spectacular, there was no

stop the paper machines but short

which had been hung from the roof
to keep the heat near the machines
were responsible in large part for the
small damage. The all out was
sounded at 9.55.
The fire department was called
about two o'clock in the afternoon
to the Gonela Plumbing shop on Gage
street by a call from box 65. The
fire was out when the department ar
