Ready for servicei It's an excit-
ing and suspicious occasion when
the one who has prepared for life
work is ready to set forth on his
mission. Joy and sorrow mingle;
encoura cement and opposition both
appear and become his constant
companions. Recognizing God and
following His Word is of greatest
importance on such a day.
The mission upon which Jesus en-
tered on the day of our lesson was
important far beyond any service of
man, for, while He set out upon an
earthly ministry of doing good, it
led to the cross where He wrought
out deliverance for the captives of
Satan. That day found Him back
with His own people in the syna-
gogue in His home town.
l. Prophecy Fulfilled wv. 1929.
1t is significant and appropriate
that Jesus declaration of Himself as
the fulfllment of Isaiah GIL, 2 was
made in the synagogue on the Sab
bath day. He met with the people
in the house and at the time set
apart for Gods worship. He op-
posed spiritual deafness. the misin-
depreciation of the truth. the distor-
ton Of religious principles; but He
was not, as some would have us be-
lieVe, a religious free lance who
despised the established worship of
His people.
Having been prepared by the
years of silence, and more particu-
larly by the baptism and the tempta-
ton in the wilderness, He appeared
at the synagogue in Nazareth to de-
clare Himself as the fulfllment of
prophecy.
Those who teach that Jesus was
only a young Jewish teacher with
new philosophy Of life have evidently
not read the Scriptures. He knew
Himself to be Gods Son come into
the world to bring the good news
of salvation by His own blood to
poor, sin-captive, blinded and
bruised humanity. He is the Saw
Jour.
Look at Isaiah Gil, 2 and note
that Jesus stopped reading before
the end Of the sentence. THE day
Of vengeance of our Cod viii come
when Christ returns. This is the
DAY Of grace. Sinners are urged to
accept Gods love now. and thus to
escape the terrible day of judg-
mcnt.
III. Faith Recognized CIV. 23-2D.
The Jews gloried in the fact that
they were the chosen people Of God
and insisted it was through the ex-
ercises Of their formal worship that
Gods blessing must be received
Now this one whom they enormously
call "Joseph's son" ". 90 comes to
disturb them in their sef-satisfac
ton. Seeing their rising resent
ment, He declares by striking words
and example that the benefits and
blessings Of God come through faith
and not because Of any racial rela
tionship.
TIE glory Of Christianity is that
its grace and power are 70 De re-
ceived by faith and are fully and
freely available to the simplest and
poorest Of men. Race, position
wealth, education, have nothing to
do with it. All too often they are
a hindrance, although they ought
rather to be a help.

entertained by emscee George Byas,

This week your reporter doffs his
mask of a journalist who to all terms
of the word should be non-partisan
when it comes to controversial subjects
but instead will speak directly to the
West Medford Community Club as an
active member of that organization.
Next month the mems club meeting
dwells chiefly on the election of officers
which is an extremely important issue
as it can mean success or failure to
that particular club that chooses to be
lax in its choice of officers. For eX-
ample as this particular group of men

occasion that may necessitate the need

Can the Community Club do this par

No! we can't. "Why?" is then asked.

Athletic history never had queerer
story to relate than it had last Sunday
at Dugger Park when w. Medford's
Senior Ramblers after a five year alb
sence from gridiron wars returned to
play the feared Boston Dragons. True
the Boston team won but the moral
victory was scored by the Ramblers
The elder citizenry of this sports
minded town doubted whether they
could play football once more. Here's
what the Ramblers did. They com
pletely outrushed their foe almost four
to one; the Medford line opened holes
big enough for a Mack truck to rumble
through; scored a touchdown against a
well organized opponent; and out
played them continually. For indi-
vidual stars you have Ray Parham,
bone crushing fullback who played
whole of game defensively, Warren
Evans and Charlie Booker who often
sively continually kept the crowds
tingling with excitement, Phil johnson
who as a tackle stayed in the enemy's
backfeld all afternoon and Swiftly
Sherwood who threw many a opposing
back for repeated losses. Yes! it was
whale of game. Now the highly con
tident Senior Ramblers await Cam
