lnsurmountable barrier, this daunt-
less quartet made their way to the
roof, and with an audacious sense of
relative values, tore up the tiles, and
let their friend down into the pres
ence of Jesus and of the amazed
company. Anybody who wants any,
thing as badly as these four wanted
healing for their friend Is pretty
sure to get it.
Most OF us want little boons light
ly. Our desires are trivial and tran
STORY. Lack OF tremendous purpose
and passion seems to mark these
dilletante days. An infusion of first
rate ambition into youth would cure
half the cheap little sins that af-
f1ict them. A great love. great
longing. great loyalty often have
more educational value than a COL
lege education. These also would
stabilize life as a mere pursuit of
books cannot do. "Covet earnestly
the best gifts" wrote the Apostle:
which may be fairly paraphrased: :
Go after the things most worth
while, with burning heart and with
tremendous purpose" The road
to healing and health and happiness
lies over the crowds and the roof
and through the tiles of difficulty.
Where to Take Troubles.
Civilization is cropping for . court
OF last resort. Nations refuse to dis
arm; they fight without declaring
war: masses agitate against classes;
strikers strive against employers:
socially thinkers devise weird
PHILOSOPHERS: families rush to divorce
courts; private murder grows apace:
unhappiness spreads like weeds-all
business men have not discovered q
supreme jurisdiction, animated by
justice and possessed Of power. All,
If men but knew to whom to carry
their woes and weaknesses and WRONGS!
All the while that Capernaum crowd
shows the answer. The four friends
and the paralytic knew. There Is
one who has the master word for
every need. Jesus Christ does hold
the remedy for all that is wrong with
this world, both as collection of
nations and of individuals. The great

truth that Mark Is seeking to convey
n that Jesus has come with every
sort Of help needed by humankind.
There would be no work for divorce
courts If unhappy husbands and
wives would resort TO Jesus. Hate
would not rule between classes II both
accepted the Savior,s way OF love.
Nations which walk in obedience to
the royal law OF Christ do not war
with one another. Thinking Is not
muddied and muddled when brought
into the white light OF the presence
Of the Son of God. All the discord.

Great Physician.
What Every Physician Knows.
A flrst-class commotion was created
by Christ's saying to the man sick Of
the palsy, who had been laid at HIS
feet through . hole in the roof, Son,
thy sins are forgiven" It Is clear
that. while not al suffering Is caused
by sin. . deal more Of 1t 10 than
Nine. Grundy is willing to admit.
Every physician can give names and
dates for the Bibles proposition that
The wages of sin u DEATH" 1t
would be easy for a medical man to
suggest the probable form Of sin that
had caused this particular mans
palsy. So Jesus, striking at the root
Of the evil. said. THY sins are for
given" thereby healing the victim.
Censorious scribes were stirred by
these words. The cure Of the paralytic
interested them less than this appar-
ent impiety and heterodoxy on the
part Of Jesus. There are plenty of
scribes still In the world. They listen
to sermons primarily to search for
errors. Their principal ability is skill
i'll fault finding. A host OF heresy-
hunters have abdicated the practice Of
vital Christianity for this pursuit.
Their one test Of religion is ability
to detect defects in other Christians.
Every generation has its own scribes
and pharisees. and every Jealous dis
ciple is in danger Of finding himself
within this classification. Jesus was
a deal more concerned over sin than
over heterodoxy. His entire ministry
was a struggle with the class who
set themselves up ~ censors of other
persons religion.
Brave, as always. the Healer did
not evade the challenge of the critics.
Fully aware of the staggering impli-
cations of His avowal. He openly de-
clared that the Son of Man had
authority TO forgive sins a. well u
to heal.
He bade the man with the palsy
take up Is bed roll. or pallet. and
walk. which he did, to the amaze
ment Of the multitude. whose atten-
ton had been centered upon this
particular case by the drastic meth.
ods OF the four friends. A greater
boon than health is forgiveness: :
Christ's supreme cure Is of mans
basic i'll, which Is sin. That word
sin" is going out of fashion now
days. but the things itself was never
more in vogue. Our desires are many:
our need is one-salvation from sin.
