during the past week.
Thursday evening Mrs. Oscar

joint Hostesses at the home of the
former with a most beautiful valen
tine party, the guests showering the
honoree with a variety of handsome
gifts.
Mrs. Dreizin and Mrs. Childres re
ceived the guests in the reception hall
and invited them into the room where
the ‘bride’s book was presided over by
Miss Bessie Dreizin, who requested
each to write a wish for the bride.
The artistic decorations in valentine
effect were elaborate throughout the

and coffee. The favors were beautiful
heartshaped baskets filled with tiny
candy hearts.
Misses Miriam Dreizin and Lorenu

Bweet vocal numbers.
Mrs. L. R. Adams introduced two
very unique contests; one she origi
nated, a romance of the honoree in
verse, Miss Ruth Wilson being the
successful contestant, was awarded a
lovely box of candy hearts.
Then came the climax of the eve
ning, little Miss Green, as daintily
dressed as a fairy brought in an ex
press wagon so decorated as to have
the appearance of an immense valen
tine heaped with packages. This she
placed in front of the happy bride
and bid her “see what good St. Valen
tine had left for her;’’
The packages were unwrapped and
admired by the guests.

JESUS’ POWER TO HELP
Lesson Text: Mat. 9:1-13 need not think that when we follow
Golden Text: “I will have mercy and Jesus for the loaves and the fishes
not sacrifice: For I am not come he will not know it Better that we
to call the righteous, but sinners
to repentance.”
The Forgiver of Sin
“And he entered into a ship, and
passed over and came into his own
city. Anfi behold they brought to him
a man sick of the palsy, lying on a
bed and Jesus seeing their faith said
unto the man sick of the palsy, son
be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven
thee.” *■
The paralytic was healed by the
forgiveness of sin. No sooner had
Jesus returned to Capernium from
his brief visits to the neighboring
cities than he was surrounded by
multitudes. They filled the house ana
brought their sick. He bade them a
warm welcome ana began to give
them the gospel. There was a poor
paralytic in the city of Capernium
and four of his friends decided from
their faith in Jesus’ power to take
this paralytic to Jesus. They put him
on a bed and carried the bed to the
house where Jesus was. Upon their
arrival the crowd around the house
and in the house was so great that
do not follow Jesus through any
other than a sincere motive. When
we profess to follow Jesus through
a mercenary motive it ia then that
we are to he classed with the hypo-
crits. Man never gets so low in sin
but what Jesus can raise him up into
the marvelous light and liberty of a
new life. Jesus was a friend of the
publican. He proves this beyond all
doubt, and if he was a friend to the
publican, he would be a friend to any
o-.e who would seek him. A publican
as a tax gathers, was looked
upon as a common tliief any many
times they were true to the charge.
At this time a certain country or
a province was assigned so 1 much tax
for the government, and then the job
of collecting was leased out, and
whatever amount the collector could
gather above this amount was his,
and many of the ancieht publicans
were oppressors and collected all
the tax from a subject that he could
possibly get. So the publicans, as a
class, were a hated one. Jesus had
decided to repair to the seashore
where he could hold an open door
meeting and on the way there from
his home he passed the receipt of
customs or the tax collector’s office
and Mathew was the publican in
.-har"e. As an officer in charire he
they could not reach Jesus. They ' vaa hated by the Hebrews. To this

Saturday afternoon Miss Mildre l
Garrett entertained with a linen
shower in (compliment to Mrs Seay.
The beautiful Garrett home was
indeed charming on this occasion in
its color scheme of silver and rose.
Draperies twere festooned with
ropes of silver entwined with pink
rose buds, silver vases and baskets
held pink noses and silver candelabra
held pink candles which shed mellow
light throughout the rooms. The table
in the dining noom was overlaid with
exquisite lace and centered with
plateau mirrow. On this was huddled
a group of cupids uder a miniature
unmbrella from which “silver rain”
dripped, the silver rope and rose buds
being festooned around the edges f
the table.
Miss Mnarie Garrett presided over
the bride’s book in which favorite
recipes were written.
Miss Garrett requested her guests
to write telegrams for the bride, us
ing the letter in her first name to
form an acrostic .these telegrams were
supposed to have been sent by her
husband, stating why he had been de
layed in reaching Butler. Another
feature of the entertainment -was a
contest, “The romance of linen.” Miss
Mary Gill being most successful ir.
this contests was presented a pretty
her ^Vftse*
Just at this time a messen-
ger boy appeared at the door
and distributed a lot of circu
lars that were immediate 1 ; picked up_
by the guests. The circulars stated
that a new linen shop had recently
opened on corner next to church. La
dies were invited to come to tne op
ening and the first bride to enter
would be presented an assortment of
linen. .
Accordingly the guests nude their
way to the place direc-ei, which
proved tobe the b-eautiful little break
fast room which had been converted
into a veritable linen shop. The ’-'ride
was overwhelmed with joy at what
awaited her there.
Later a delicious sweet course am.
coffee were served, favors leing hand
made containers, fashioned as P' n ‘f
roses filled with mints.
Just before the guests departs
Mrs. J. W. Edwards in her ever de
lightful way, sang “Love’s Old Sweet
Song-,” which was played during the
marriage ceremony of the bride’s
parents. * .
Miss Garrett was ably assisted m
entertaining by her mother, Mis. Eli
Garrett, and her sister, Miss Marie
Garrett.
he would lay hands on the stick man
and that he would immediately be
healed. But such was not the pro
cedure. He merely forgave the man
of his sins. At this point the scribes
came on the scene, and proclaimed
Jesus a blasphemer and said no one
could forgive sin but God. They were
right in this, but did not go far
enough, they did not proclaim the
truth that Jesus was God and that
in he capacity of God could forgive
sin.
They proposed a test. They said
that if Jesus could not heal the para
lytic that he was a blasphemer and
that if he could heal him he would
prove by that act that he had the
power to forgive sins. The test was
fair. The cured paralytic by the power
of Jesus and at his w,ord rose in the
full strength of virile manhood,
gathered up his pallet and walked out
through the wondering crowd to his
home. The multitudes saw the point
of the miracle and praised God. Afflic
tion is the result of sin. Ths para
lytic was a sinner and when his sins
wer forgiven him there was no longer
a cause for his affliction. The scrioes
must have been placed in an embar
rassing position as they could not
substantiate their charge that Jesus
was a blasphemer but instead proved
to them by their own test that he
was God. Many times we have seen
the miracles of regeneration, and
there was never a grater miracle per
formed than the regeration of a hu
ms** ®oul. Yet some mav witness this
and then reject Jesus. Weare oftimes
tested and found wanting. Many of
the crowd that followed Jesus had
faith in him just to that extent to
which they might he phvsically be**e-
fitted. They were following Jesus for
the loaves and the fishes. And we

well suited to Jesus’ needss. He needs
business men in his kingdom as well
as others. He was not thinking what

something far more sublime than the
approval of men.
Searching
Was there ever a time that Jesus
was not looking lor men? he was
much more interested in human souls
tban he was of all the worlu’s scenic
grandeur that had been created thru
him. He was hunting lor tnose who
after being saved could be enlisted
in Active service for him.

the publicans and sinners and his
very personality was such that every
man in his presence, publicans and
sinners included, felt his influence to
go onward and upward. He really
made them long for a better life. Is
that the influence that Christ’s life
has upon us in this dawn of the
twentieth century? If it is not, su-h
should be the case.
Criticisms
As was the custom at the time of
the feast of Mathew to have a public
affair, spectators other than the in
vited guests were no tonly allowed
to be there but were expected. At
this time the pharisees while not for
bidden were present. They did not
follow the ceremonial law when they
saw Jesus sitting at meat with the
publicans who had been converted,
but began at once to criticize Jesus.

The unwise use of harsh laxatives

A doctor will tell you that the

more harm than good.
Fortunately, the public is fast
returning to the use of laxatives
in liquid form.
A properly prepared liquid laxa
tive brings a perfect movement.
'There is no discomfort at the time
and no weakness after. You don’t
have to take “a double dose” a day
or two later.
In buying any laxative, always
read the label. Not the claims, hut
the contents. If it contains one
doubtful drug, don’t take it.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a

it, you avoid danger of bowel strain.

They did not think that any teacher
should keep such company. The whole
group was coupled together in com

Jesus Defends
Of course Jesus heard what the
critics were saying. They intended
that he should hear them. As he be
held them in their critical attitude he
answered them in words that have
been resounding down through the
ages till the present time. It is Just
as full of meannig today as it was
the day it was uttered. He said,
“They that are whole need no phy
sician but they that are sick.” When
the sick need the physician- he goes
among them healing them without
contracting their disease, and Jesus
was a physician who would not refuse
a call to suffering humanity.
Interpreting
Jesus taught the crowds about him
that the spirit of mercy is better th
the mere formality of sacrifice. !
