It's purpose is to honor the two mil

one of the underlying influences of
our time.

Jesus Power To Help, Matthew
9:1-12, for Sunday, Feb. 18.
To what extent do body and SOU
influence each other?
Why are we. so disposed to find
fault in matters Of religion?
How are men to get the helI
they need from Christ, to meet ali
of life's difficulties?
How does Christ meet the need
of the world?
Why should Jesus call hated
publican such as Matthew?
What is blasphemy? Why did
the Pharisees accuse Jesus Of bias
phemy?
Glorious says. "a healthy soul
invades the flesh and helps to make
a healthy body. From forgiven,
pure, hearts streams should flow
out through healed bodies, into the
home and business and politics and
the whole social order, everywhere
working, healing and making a
better world"
Lesson Prayer: 1--WE are CRATE
full to God for Jesus power to heal
soul and body; help us to the right
perspective with our greatest con-
Germ about the soul, that which has
in it eternal life"

Let Party Lines No More

Outside Of officeholders and in
veterate office seekers, the twin
species known as dyed-in-t -the-wooI
Democrats and rock-ribbed Repub-
licans are fast disappearing in the
United States. In fact, if present
trends continue. either type will
soon cause as much commotion, if
sighted, as the monster of Loeb
Ness.
1t is one of the welcome changes
of these seemingly hard times
through which we have been pass
ing. Yet there are scattering vol
leys, outside Congress and the ma
tional committees, that are aimed at
kicking up partisan fuss about
the present attempts to right the
good ship General Conditions. This
year is campaign year again, and SO

Such triffling matters as Demo

troubles at this stage Of the effort

There are many who no longer
rally to the old admonitions: "The
people in our family have voted Re-
publican since before Abraham Lin
coln," Or Everyone in this clan
has voted the straight Democrat
ticket since the days Of Andy Jack
son!" Many who did not vote for
Franklin Roosevelt have acquired a
genuine respect for him. Or at
least they are convinced that boat
rocking is miserable practice, es-
pecially during a storm.
Outspoken discussion Of genuine
issues or doubtful methods is quite
in place, but attempts to stir up
strife by appealing to merely ira
ditfonal labels or magnifying per-
sonal differences are not only be-
side the point, but injurious. If we
are to bring about clearing of the
material skies, we must strive for
harmony in the mental realm. The
great bulk of Americans are waking
up to the fact that this is their
country and that it is very much
worth saving and holding together
It is a promising sign. Any pro-

old petty party harangues. Why
not drop them?-Christian Science

Jesus Power to Help. Matthew
9.1-2, for Sunday, Feb. 1S:
Salvation from sin is rot only
doctrinally taught in the Bible, but
is also visibly illustrated in con-
crete examples as illustrated in this
lesson.
V. i. "And he entered into boat
and crossed over and came into his
own city, In the 8th and 9th
chapters of Matthew are recorded
different healing ministries OF
Jesus. in his busy days, he sought
rest in his Capernaum home, only
to be sought by more appeals for
healing.
". 2. "And behold they brought
to him man sick of the palsy, ly-
ing on bed Mark and Luke
give more details of this event; !;
this sick man was brought by his
friends who uncovered the roof and
let him down; here was demonstra-
ted an earnest desire to meet Jesus,
and the cooperation of others in his
salvation. "And Jesus seeing their
faith said unto the sick of the palsy,
Son, be of good cheer: thy sins are
forgiven thee" Our faith is a
factor in saving others; nothing is
quite so important as the forgive
ness of sins, and here is the en-
phasis of Christ's main purpose.
Jesus would make this palsied man
pure and strong at heart, and then
all things will right themselves.
"Be of good cheer" Jesus designs
that all men shall be happy, opti-
mistic, resigned to his will, and
resting in that faith that believes
all is we'll when the soul is well.
v. 3. "And behold certain of the
scribes said within themselves this
man blasphemeth." The scribes'
thoughts scarged Christ for doing
thing which properly belonged to
God, viz, forgiving sins. That was
so because they would not acknowl-
edge Christ as their Saviour.
v. 4. "And Jesus knowing their
thoughts said, Wherefore think
ye evil in your hearts" What a
difference in mems lives if their
thoughts were thrown on screen
for the public to read! Mems
thoughts are known by the Lord, a
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1934-02-15

graver fact, which ought to sober
everyone of us.
V. 5. "For whether it is easier
to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee;
or to say Arise and walk" The one
involves divine power, the other di-
vine authority, and neither can be
done but by Coda perfect an
swer to the scribes' thoughts of
blasphemy.
V. 6. But that ye may know
that the Son of Man hath power on
earth to forgive sins (then saith he
to the sick of he palsy Arise and
take up thy bed and go into thy
house, To prove that he had the
right and power to forgive sins, a
transaction that cannot be seen, he
performed physical miracle which
all could see and would have to ad-
nit as an act of divine power.
". T.. "And he arose and de-
parted to his house" Jesus spoke
the word and supplied the power,
but the paralytic also had his part
to perform, which by faith he was
quick to do.
V. 8. "But when the multitude
saw it, they marveled, and glorified
God, which had given such power
unto men, Since this healing
could not be explained other than
demonstration Of divine power,
those seeing it could do nothing
less than praise God.
v. 9. "And as Jesus passed by
from hence, he saw man called
Matthew, sitting at the place OF
toll, and he saith unto him, Follow
me. And he arose and followed
him." He still walks among men.
There is nothing that escapes his
all-seeing eye. He is especially
alert for helpers and finds them in
unlikely places. When he speaks,
something is said which ought to
be heard and needed. Note Matth-
ew the author of this gospel was
very modest in his language.
v. 10. "And it came to pass as
he sat at meat in the house, behold,
many publicans and sinners came
and sat down with Jesus and his
disciples" Evidently Matthew was
so happy that he made feast and
invited all his friends to share with
him this new found joy. joys like
sorrows must be shared. Jesus
never refuses to enter the home OF
anyone who welcomes him.
v. IL. "And when the Pharisees
saw it, they said unto his dis
ciples, Why eateth your Teacher
with the publicans and sinners?"
The Inference is that Jesus could
not be righteous, else he would not
be happy in such company.

Ont OF The Picture

Verne Sankey, kidnaper dead by
by his own hand, goes the way
many of his stripe have gone during
the last several months. How
greatly the ranks of public enemies
have been depleted by death and
Imprisonment since the nation as a
whole became aware of and later
began a determined drive against
its major criminals, is better real
lied when it is known that more
than a score have disappeared from
the scene of their activities.
The Chicago Daily News has list
ed them and their fates all the way
from Dion O'Bannion, one of the
first to be murdered by his pals,
down to Dago Mangano, who is a
fugitive from the vengeance of his
own kind.
Capone is in the penitentiary.
Handsome Jack Klutas was killed
In a police ambush. Frank McEr-
lane has died from pneumonia. Ted
Newberry's body was found in a
ditch. Three-Fingered Jack White
was killed by an unidentified mur.
derer. Sankey has just committed
suicide in a Dakota jail, and his
pal, Gordon Alcorn, is in the same
Jail awaiting trial for kidnapping.
Gale Swolley and Frank Souder are
in Joliet. Big Tim Murphy was
shot down. Dingbat Oberta suffered
a like fate. Tony Lombardo and
Red Barker were shot full of holes.

Washington's Reverence

One of the outstanding character
istics Of Washington was his rever-
ence. His reverence toward his
mother was first noted He gave up
an early ambition to go to sea, to
please her. He manifested the
greatest affection for her through
out her life.
He showed great reverence for
God. Frequently he referred to
Divine Providence as the cause for
the preservation of his life, and as
the contributing cause for his sue
cess.
He was reverent toward the
church. He attended it consistent
ly. He was in favor of religious
liberation and denominational CO.
OPP ration. To attend services it
was often necessary for him to
trayel by slow means and sit in an
unheated building.
He was reverent toward human
life. He provided that at his death
his slaves should be set free. He
had love for his fellowman which
caused him to be rightly known as
first in peace"

Fess Apologies To Bulkley

Irreverent political observers
chuckled, remarked that Simeon d.
Fess, U. S. senator from Ohio, had
added to his record for expressing
erroneous opinions as they read of
his apology to his colleague Senator
Robert J. Bulkley, who revealed In
the senate that DR.. Fess was 100
percent wrong in his criticism OF
Ohio postmastership requirements.
Senator Fess had made sweeping
charges that Republican incumbents
in postoffice jobs had been unfairly
compelled to resign before expira-
ton of their terms in order to make
way for Democrats.
Tripping him with the actual
facts, Senator Bulkley showed that
in no case had any Ohio Republican
postmaster been removed without
cause, challenged Senator Fess to
show any instance in which Senator
Bulkley had deviated from his
policy of fair play permitting Re-
publican postmasters to serve out
the terms (which they had been
appointed
Admitting his error, Senator
Fess paid this tribute to Senator
Bulkley: "There is no one in the
senate for whom I have higher
admiration than Senator Bulkley.
His conduct in all the matters in
which I have been associated with
him, politically or otherwise, has
been without blemish, and has been,
as I regard it,. very much on the
square,

characteristics OF Washington

Ambassador Davila of Chile said
OF Washington "The noble and
majestic life of Washington is to-
day the perfect symbol of the ma
ton to which he gave life. There
is in him something of lofty spirit
uality which removes him from
other great soldier-statesm smen of
the past. He dignified men instead
of depressing them. He served his
nation and did not make his nation
serve him.
He made war, but he made
things greater than war; he gave
moral and political form to re-
public.
He would rather take injustice
than do injustice Always he did
what he should, and not what he
could. For this, although his
glory is great, his deeds are great

History has found in Washington
little of the spectacular, but much
of inward greatness.
