EDITORIAL ELYSIUM
Fellow dropped into the offic
the other day and ordered a pa
per sent to his house and we
were pleased. Said it was a
good paper and we were glad.
Said it was worth much more
than the money it cost to any
man of intelligence, and we
were tickled. Said it was the
mainstay of the town and we
were super-tickled. Said it was
the greatest booster and t h e
most reliable town-builder in the
whole community and we yelled
for joy. Paid for the paper and
we slid gently to the floor in
blissful unconsciousness. Na
ture had reached its limit.--*The

NOVEMBER TREES
Trees in November hold carnival
parade,
Dressed in brilliant colors ol
most ev’ry shade
Of yellows, and browns, re d,
gold, wine—all their best,
A real celebration ere g >inj
to rest.
’Twas only yesterday you lookee
so serene
In your soft summer shades o
varying green;
Now you’re swaying and play
ing-waving your arms,
Flashing and dashing- display
ing your charms.
One’s eye is deceived! Is that
just a gum,
A poplar, a dogwood, an oak‘;
Surely some
Fairy designer, with intricate art
Has set you ablaze-lit to tear
out one’s heart!
Not content with the usual, old
fashioned shades,
We saw you today, trying all
the new aids
To beauty and lure, of the 1
feminine sex.
They’ve nothing on you in
your color complex.
There the stately pines, with
their tall tops showing,
And crushed up against them,
are cypress glowing
In fresh vivid colors-no won
der they’re sighing
And wishing the old y oar
would slow up its dying.
So it is-when such beauty holds
hearts in its thrall,
On a ride through the woods,
some fine day in the fall.
The soul feels a surge-how can
spirit be quiet.
When nature has gone on her
November riot.

THE WORKS OF THE MESSIAH
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 8:14-27.
GOLDEN TEXT-Jesus of Nazareth . . .
went about doing good.—Acts 10:38.
“Does it work?” Modern man is
not impressed by a thing simply
because great claims are made for
it or it is intricately organized.
After all, the important thing is,
does it really work? Such a test
can be carried to an extreme and
the finest and richest things of life
be thrown aside because they have
no utilitarian value. But in gen
eral, the question is a good one, and
especially is that true as it is ap
plied to religious systems and
philosophies of life. These claim
to have power to deliver man from
his sin and give him peace and rest.
What we want to know is, do they
actually do it, not only in the day
of health and prosperity, but in the
hour of death and devastation? The
answer is that every one of them
has failed and does fail, with the
exception of Christianity, which
comes "not in word but in power"
(I Cor. 4:20). In Christianity is
found the only real dynamic for
daily living.
I. Personal Needs Satisfied (vv.
14-17).
This entire section of the Gospel
of Matthew is concerned with
miracles. It is interesting to note
how many of these events concern
personal needs. There is scant
comfort to the needy one to speak
to him in generalities about a great
God who is ready to help people.
When I am in need I want to know
whether there is any help for me.
Jesus healed Peter’s mother in the
home, and then He went out and
healed multitudes in the throng, but
in each case it was a personal in
terest which He took and a per
sonal healing that was received.
Observe also that He met the need
of all whether they were sick in
body, mind or spirit. Someone may
say, “That is all very well, but that
took place when He was here on
earth.” Well, He is here now, work
ing in and through the power of the
Holy Spirit and in and through His
children. The Lord Jesus Christ
daily satisfies every need of His
disciples, nnd often does so in
ways which are miraculous in their
sight.
11. Sacrificial Service Exempli
fied (vv. 18-22).
Following Jesus in discipleship is
more than speaking sweet words of
devotion or of taking part in the
carrying out of some public wor
ship ministry. To really follow Him
is to “follow one whose vocation is
such that there are incessant de
mands compelling the renunciation
of home and the comforts of a set
tled life. Only the call of God cun
make one equal to the demands of
such a hazardous life" (Edward E.
Anderson).
Observe that even the demands
which love may present on behalf
of an aged father must not be per
mitted to stand between the disciple
and his Lord. There is no thought
of unkindness or lack of considera
tion here, for as our Lord points
out, those who are spiritually dead,
although still physically alive, may
well be called on to care for the
physical needs of an aged parent,
even in the hour of death, if the
Lord Jesus has work for His disciple
to do elsewhere.
There is no thought of neglect of
the duties of life, but rather of a
placing of the Lord first, whatever
else may lake the second place.
The blight upon many a Christian
experience is that almost anything
else which is of interest is allowed
to take first place and the Lord
must lake second place if He is
given any place at all.
111. Divine Power Demonstrated
(vv. 23-27).
There are those in the world who
are unable to see the workings of
God’s power in the spiritual realm
because they themselves have not
been spiritually born again (I Cor.
2:14), For these the Lord here pre
sented the working of His mighty
power in the realm of nature.
Satan, who is “the prince of this
world" (John (14:30) had evidently
whipped the waves of the sea into
a mighty storm, possibly thus hop
ing to drown Jesus and get rid of
his divine adversary, but the Lord
Himself speaks in the majesty of
His eternal power and we read that
"there was a great calm" (v. 26).
Even His disciples were strangely
astonished that the very “winds and
the sea obey Him.” Yes, the
forces of nature respond to Hij.
slightest word. The winds and the
sea obey Him. But what is even
more wonderful is that the turmoil
of a man’s soul becomes a great
and blessed calm when this holy
Lord Jesus speaks the word of
peace.
Confused and troubled man or
woman who reads these words, will
you not now by faith submit your
self to the One who can speak to
you, who can meet and satisfy ev
ery one of your needs, and who can
give you the blessed privilege of
sacrificial service on His behalf in
a needy world?
