Jesus Declares His Purpose, LUKE
4:16-30, for Sunday, Jan. 70:
Between the events of the last
lesson and the one today, there mas
elasped one year during which time
Jesus ministered in Judea; IN ms
program he would remember his
home town.
v. 16 "And he came to Nazar-
eth. where he had been brought up;
and as his custom was, he went INTO
the synagogue on the Sabbath day,
and stood up for to read His ear
ly training developed the church
going habit, thus furnishing to the
world an example of faithfulness IN
public worship. God planned one
day in seven for rest, and Jesus and
his disciples will exalt the idea.
". IT. "And there was delivered
unto him the book of the prophet
Esaias. And when he had opened
the book, he found the place where
it was written" Surely he can open
to us his own book and at the same
time open our understanding to re-
ceive it.
VS.. 18, 10. "The Spirit of the
Lord is upon me, because he hath
anointed me to preach the gospel to
the Door; and he hath sent me to
heal the broken-hearted; to preach
deliverance to the captives, and re-
covering sight to the blind, to set
bnn hot
preach the acceptable year of the
Lord" Jesus quoted and applied
Isaiah's teaching By this means
he announces his work Of salvation;
his evidence is seen in his work as
touching sin which impoverishes,
blinds and bruises
v. 20. "And he closed the book,
and he gave it again to the minis
ter, and sat down. And the eyes of
all them that were in the syna-
gogue were fastened on him. Je-
sus assumed the attitude Of teach
er, and he did it so well that he re-
ceived the closest attention.
v. 81. "And he began to say un-
to them, This day is this scripture
fulfilled in your ears" He laid
claim to his sonship and made his
open acclamation. Sonship loses it's
value if it is not announced.
v. %. "And all bare him wit
ness, and wondered at the gracious
words which proceeded out of his
mouth. And they said, Is not this
Joseph's son?'' This statement
meant that they could not accept
his claim apart from some miracle
that would justify it. Here was a
moment Of decision, as to their rela-
tions to the newly proclaimed Mes
siah. They did not say much, but
Christ knew their thoughts as indi-
Gated in verse %.
V. "a. "And he said Verify l say
unto you, no prophet is accepted in
his own country" Here is demon
strated the saying familiarity breeds

Stinginess

There is little parable about
boarding, that is appropriate in the
discussion of the selfishness so
prevalent today:
A rose refused to give away it's
perfume, and held it's beautiful pet
ais tightly closed while all the 9TH
er roses bloomed gloriously. And
then, too late, it realized that it
was whitening away, and could not
bloom when it wished.
A little bird refused to sing.
When it became old and envied it's
brothers with their lovely voices, it
tried very hard to make a melody,
but it could only chirp sharply.
"If / let anyone have my wave
let's" said a brook, 81 shall not
have any left for myself, / shall
keep them all with me forever
And SO it did, lying in hollow
place, forming Shiny, stagnant
pool"

v. 2s, 20. "And all they in the
synagogue, when they heard these
things, were filled with wrath, and
rose up and thrust him out of the
city, and led him to the brow of the
hill whereon their city was built,
that they might cast him down
headlong." Instead of profiting by
the truth, they were infuriated.
The evil heart always seeks to de-
stroy whomever or whatever tears
off the mask and exposes its ugli-
ness.
V. so. 'tBut he passing through
the midst Of them went his way. !"
Here is portrayed the majesty of
our Lord, the spell of which was
cast over the hardened souls, that
rendered them helpless and before
which they were compelled to bow.

Greetings To Friends

Greeting to a Dear Friend And
there's a sermon in that word
friend" How good our friends
have been to us in 1885 and also in
other years! Perhaps one needs to-
emerge from youth to appreciates
friends, yet we know the children
are bound to their friends by rather
strong ties 1t seems that with the
passing of the years, we come TO
have a greater regard for those de-
scribed as friends. We might profit
ably think a little on what the term
means and what our friends mean
to US.
We, Myrtle and 7, are grateful to
God for so many evidences OF
friendship in the past year. ManT
have called on US; some have read
to the invalid; some have brought
fruit, others flowers; some had f-
nancial partnership in our work.
many have sent encouraging wordsS
and so many in various parts have
prayed for us-some thus remem-
bering us each day. Is not this a
fiae estate? And God is 50 good to
us! With some diligence we have
served him; we have read his word
through again; have fallen short OF
ideal service; and yet he has been
patient and forbearing. He has fed
us abundantly; clothed us suEi-
GENTLY; and prospered our work.
Blessed be his name forever.
Before going to sleep each night,
it is pleasure to thank the great,
loving Father for you dear friends
and your interest in us. May he
bless you, and especially for your
kind remembrance of us. We be-
lieve he will. God is not unrigbt--
eous to forget"
Great uncertainties hang before
the world. Who knows what abont
the future? Did the prophets Of
returning prosperity know? Do the
politicians or even the statesmen
know? When and how ends the war
in Ethiopia? Will Europe escape
war? What of Japan, Russia,
China? Amidst all this stress, dis
tress, and unrest there remain Ger
tain unchanging things-t ! u g
friends, God, Christ, the Holy Spir-
it, and the Holy Bible. Let us hold
firmly to them walk in the light:
trust God even in the dark; and
know that it is very far better to
depart and be with the Lord. Heb
6:10.
Said old Brother Miller, Of Ohio,
in his last illness: "Be faithful to
God" An angel could have done
no better. 1t would be a good mot
to for 1886. There is no other SER
vice like service to Him. He saves
us by grace and rewards (pays) rs
for our good works.
1t would be heavenly to have yoa
all here to talk, sing, pray, and re-
joice together. Well, we can con-
tinue to love one another and thus
display the badge of discipIeship,
looking to the time when the prom
ises are obtained. May Heavens
blessings attend you, is the wish
and the prayer of your friends, Don
Carlos and Myrtle L. James.

the other people the advantages and
privileges 1 enjoy as Christian.
Obedience to the command. go

Because of the need of non-Chris-
tian peoples for Christ.
Foreign field offers the greatest
opportunity for life investment.
Love for foreign peoples.
Relatively greater need in foreign
fields
The belief that world peace and
brotherhood are to be most effec-
lively promoted through missions.
Because / feel that the foreign
field offers a wider field Of service.

Statement Relative To Reduced Rates
BY The Ohio Power Company

Voluntary rate reductions esti-
mated to produce 100000 annual
savings to residential and CONNER
cial customers of the Ohio Power
company have been announced by
Mr.. Killian, district perintendent.
The new rates will benefit more
than 100000 residential and COM
mercial customers of the company
throughout the territory which it
serves.
Mr.. Killian stated that the new
rates continue the plan of constant
the company placed in effect on
March /, 1885. The former tariff
reduced the price Of each of the
first 80 kilowatt-hours from Tx
cents kiloWatt-hour to six cents a
kilowatt-hour. The new domestic
service rate, which becomes effec-
tive April /, 1886, continues this
monthly reduction so that when the
new rate is fully in effect on Febru-
ary /, 1897, domestic service Gus
toners will be able to purchase the
first block of energy at rate Of
five cents per kilowatt-hour.
The new rate benefits all domes-
tic customers, small and large,
When the monthly reductions, pro-
vided for in the new rate are COM
pleted, the small customer using
20 kilowatt-hours in a month will
pay 81. Under the old rates in ef-
feet prior to March /, 1895, the cost
would have been $3.50, or 500
more for the same quantity of cleo
| tricity.
In addition to the progressive re-
duction in the first block Of the
rate there will be an immediate re-
duction on April /, 1896, in the last
two blocks. On that date custo-
mers using in excess OF 70 kiloWatt-
hours may purchase the next 230
kilowatt hours for 2 ~ cents kilo-
watt-hour and all energy in excess
of 800 kilowatt-hours for II cents
kilowatt-hour.
When the new domestic rate is
in complete operation, in Febru-
ary, 1887, domestic service custo-
mers will receive monthly service at
the following rates:
For the first 80 kilowatt-hours,
cents per K. w. H.; for the next
40 kilowatt-hours, cents per X. w.
H.; for the next 230 kilowatt-hours,
u cents per X. ". H.; for all over
800 kilowatt-hours, IL cents per
K w. III.
An additional clause in the tariff
continues the company's water heat
ing service plan which was made
effective over a year ago. This plan
provides that where customer has
installed a standard water heater OF
specific capacity, he is permitted to
use a fixed block of energy above
200 kilowatt-hours, sufficient for
normal household use at an ex-
tremely low rate.
A similar progressive reduction is
granted to customers of the COM
pany taking service under tariff c.
S., commercial service rate. Here
again the first block of the rate is
reduced, month by month, until in
February, 1887, it has been reduced
from six cents to five cents.
Mr.. Killian recalled that when he
announced the rate cut year ago,
he pointed out that it was being

Unconscious Teaching

Unconscious teaching in the home
is the most potent determining fac
tor in the right development of the
children. Formal religious instruc-
tion in the home will have little eff
feet if the ideas and the ideals of
the home are wealth, fashion and
pleasure; if the conversation is
worldly, critical, unkind and spite
full; il selfishness and irritation and
anger pervade it's atmosphere and at
times break into storms and flash
lightning; these will be the deeper
influences which are more powerful
than all formal religion, however
orthodox and pious are it's profes-
sions.
The parents are the first and the
best teachers of ethics; morality and
religion and the religious education
of the home may be more effective

and lasting than any other. The
first four or five years do more for
the child for good or i'll, than all
after years. Parents need to be in
training for the sake Of best train
ing Of their children. 1t is home
education for both parent and child
that is greatly needed.-D. Carl
