Cnrist's Valuation of Personality,
Luke 14:1-14, for Sunday, Jan. IL:
Jesus critics set trap for him.
A Pharisee planned party for Jesus
with honored guests invited. Evl-
IDENTIFY plans had been made for an
afflicted person to appear, that Je-
sus might be found guilty Of violat-
ing the Sabbath by healing him.
VI. "And it came to pass, when
he went into the house of one of
the rulers of the Pharisees on Sab
bath to eat bread, thar they were
watching him." The purpose of the
invitation to Jesus vas to watcn
him But he could stand all their
watching and so he accepted the in
.itation.
W.. "And behold, there was be-
fore him certain man that had the
dropsy." Here was a challenge:
would Jesus pass this one who was
i'll contrary to his custom Of heal
ing? Or would he heal him on the
Sabbath and violate the law CT the
Pharisees? When two ways are
open it is not always necessary to
take either one.
v. 3. "And Jesus answering spake
unto the lawyers and Pharisees,
saying, is it lawful to heal on the
Sabbath. or not? Instead of being
caught, Jesus perceiving their hearts
asked a question that would catch
them and show their true character.
Tt is a fine art to answer a question
with a question.
". ''But they held their peace
And no took him and healed him,
and let him CO." Having baffled his
enemies he now turns to the sick
man and heals him and his work as
an agent in a set trap is done and
so Jesus said, "Let him CO."
VS.. 5, 6. "And he said unto them,
which of you shall have an ass or
an OK fallen into well, and VIII
not straightway draw him up on a
Sabbath day." 'And they could
not answer again unto these things.
Jesus was master of the situation
He answered their objection before
they had time to make a statement;
they were wrong in that they had
SO little estimate of human life.
". z. "And he spake parable
unto those who were hidden, when
he marked how they choose out the
chief seats; saying unto them" Je-
sus saw the guests acting selnshly,
each one wanting the best place.
1--WE want" is the cry of the unre-
generate.
v. 8. when thou art hidden by
any man to a marriage feast, sit
not down in the chief seat, lest
haply a more honorable man than
thou be hidden ,of him" Here is a

Ministerial Association Meets

The Morgan County Ministerial
association held its monthly meet
ing at the home of the Rev. c.. J.
Caller Jan. s. The president, Carl
Patterson, injects enough of the
Friends method of procedure into
bis conducting of these meetings TO
give them a deep spiritual tone. Pc
riods of silence and waiting give the
ministers profound realization OF
the value of the Biblical Injunction
BE still and know that / am God -
The ministers feel the need of OBJ
serving the week of prayer during
next week. Plans were made for a
cooperative observance for the
whole county. No meeting is sched-
uled for Monday evening. The
schedule is as follows: Tuesday. at
Pisgah, the Rev. Nutter leading;
Wednesday at McConnelsville Pres
byterian church, the Rev. Mr.
Moore, leader; Thursday, at Ches-
terhill Methodist church, D. G. Hol-
man, leader; Friday, at Malta Meth
odist church, Rev. Tennell, leader;
Saturday, at Stockport, Rev. Cal
lier, leader
After the business meeting, Rev.
G. G.. Nutter of Chesterhill Metho-
dist church read paper discussing
prayer. The paper was well prepar-
ed and very helpful The writer
bases this judgment on his own re-
action and the friendly and lengthy
discussion provoked by its reading.
The next meeting of the Ministe-
rial association will be Feb 10, at
Trinity Methodist church, McCon-
nelsville. The subject for this meet
ing will be "The Attitude of the
Church in War" ID. G. Holman,

teaching that the rahbis taught for
others to observe, but they failed to
practice what they taught-again
Jesus caught them.
V. 8. "And he that bade thee
and him shall come and say to thee,
Give this man place; and then thou
shalt begin with shame to take the
lowest place. Jesus . Is teaching
the teachers. He proved himself
master of every way.
v. 10. '.But when thou art bid
den, go and sit down in the lowest
place; that when he that hath bid
den thee scometh, he may say to
thee Friend, go up higher; then
shalt thou have glory in the pres
ence of all that sit at meat with
thee" The way to get high is to
go low. Honor is brighter for ap-
pearing from obscurity. 1t is an
honor to be humble as Jesus was
humble.
v. H. For every one that exalt-
eth himself shall be humbled, and
he that humbleth himself shall be
exalted" The true aim for ambi-
tion is the honor that comes from
God only and that path leads
through the valley.
v. ~. "And he said unto him al
SO that had hidden him, when thou
makest a dinner or supper, call not
thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor
thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neigh
bors; lest haply they also bid thee
again, and recompense be made
thee This is friendly advice to
his host. The deed that will have a
heavenly reward is the one done
without thought of recompense.
V. 13. But when thou makest a
feast, bid the poor, the MANNED. the
lame, the blind" There should be
no hope of recompense here.
v. IA. And thou shalt be bless
ed; because they have not where
with to recompense thee; for thou
shalt be recompensed in the resur-
rection of the just" Gods blessings
are the souls profits. This is the
profit motive all men ought to have.
