JESUS’ POWER TO HELP
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 8:1-9:34.
GOLDEN TEXT—But go ye and learn
what that meaneth, I will have mercy,
and not sacrifice; for I am not come to
call the righteous, but sinners to re¬
pentance. Matthew 9:13
PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Forgive* a
Sinful Man.
JUNIOR TOPIC—How Jesus Proves
He Can Forgive Sin.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOF
IC—How Jesus Meets Our Needs.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP¬
IC— Jesus Meeting Human Needs.
In chapters 8 and 9 of Matthew are
grouped a number of miracles which
exhibit the power of Jesus Christ
over the chief foes of men—sickness,
sin, satanlc power, death, and storms.
It is fitting that they should be grouped
here following the laws of the king¬
dom, for they show the king’s power
to administer the affairs of the king¬
dom and produce within his subjects
the graces of character demanded by
these laws. It would make the lesson
too long to attempt to consider all these
miracles. Therefore certain of the
most outstanding should be selected.
I. Jesus Heals a Leper (8:1-4).
1. The dreadful disease (v. 2). Lep¬
rosy was the most loathsome and
hopeless disease known. In the Jewish
ritual it was regarded as a symbol of
sin. Just as leprosy was Incurable
by man, so only the Divine Physician
can cure sin.
2. The leper’s faith (v. 2). His cry
was most pitiable, but his faith was
strong. He fully believed that Jesus
was able, but was uncertain as to his
willingness, to heal him.
3. Jesus' power (v. 3). He put
forth his hand and touched the leper,
bidding the disease to depart, and in¬
stantly the man was cleansed.
II. Jesus Heals the Centurion’s Ser¬
vant (8:5-13).
1. The disease (v. 6.). It was paralysis.
In paralysis the victim is helpless.
2. The centurion's humility (v. 8).
He first sent the Jewish elders and
then tils friends (Luke 7:3, 6) because
he felt his own umvorthiness. The
condition of this servant was so grave
that his master brushed aside timidity
and personally appealed to Jesus.
3. The centurion's faith (vv. 8, 9).
He believed that if Jesus would but
speak the word his servant would be
healed. His faith was so remarkable
that Jesus marveled because it was
not like anything he had discerned
among the chosen people.
4. The wonderful power of Jesus
(v. 13). He did not even need to see
the helpless man and touch him, but
needed only to speak the word and it
was done.
ill. Jesus Heals Peter's Mother-In
Law (8:14, 15).
This woman was sick of a fever.
Jesus was Invited into Peter’s home to
heal her, and upon his touching the
hand of the patient the fever left her.
IV. Jesus Casts Out Demon*
.(8:28-34).
After stilling the tempest, Jesus
crossed to the other side of the sea
into heathen territory.
1. Met by two men possessed by
demons (v. 28). These men were in a
desperate condition (Mark 5; 1-17, and
Luke 8:27). So fierce were they that
no one could safely pass that way.
Many today are demon possessed and
their number is increasing (I Tlm-
4:1).
2. What they knew about Christ
(v. 29). They knew that he was the
Son of God and that he had come to
destroy the devil and his work. Among
demons there is no doubt as to the
deity of Jesus Christ and the Judg¬
ment to come.
3. Limitation of the devil’s power
(v. 31). Although the devil Is mighty
in power, he cannot even enter a hog
without God’s permission.
4. Christ’s power to deliver from
the devil (vv. 30-32).
The demons quailed before him, not
daring to dispute his power, but
begged permission to enter the swine.
V. Jesus Opening the Eyes of Two
Blind Men (9:27-31).
1. The intelligence of faith (v. 27).
They cried unto him as the Son of
David which showed they recognized
him as the promised Messiah. The
prophet had foretold such to be the
works of the Messiah (Isa. 29:18.
35:5, 41:7).
2. The persistence of faith (v. 28).
These poor men had heard of the won¬
derful works of Jesus. This wrought
In them a desire to be healed. They,
therefore, followed him along the way
crying out for help.
3. The challenge of faith <v. 28).
In reply to his challenge they gave
him a definite answer.
4. The triumph of faith (vv. 29.
30). Their faith brought them Into
touch with the Lord of life, who
opened their eyes.
Our Giving Mea»ure
God’s great purpose in wanting men
to give to him is that me may be en¬
abled to give more abundantly to
them. It is impossible for a man to
give anything to God that does not
come back to the man a thousandfold
Tact
The observance of tact, the univer
sally lauded, depends chiefly on the
omission of certain actions, or even
more often of words. To say the rlghi
thing at the right tlnie to the right
person is perfection.
Sauces of Superior Flavor
Problem of Lumps in the Ever-Popular Cream Con¬
coction Disposed Of; Other Recipes That May
Be Relied On to Win Approval.
A somewhat discouraged housewife
addressed this question to an au¬
thority on matters culinary, “Why is
it tiiat whenever 1 make a cream
sauce it always becomes lumpy?’
and is thus advised:
“I can answer that by giving you
the sample method which I use my¬
self for cream sauce. 1 melt the but¬
ter, remove it from the lire, and stir
In tlie flour and seasoning. When
tiiis is absolutely smooth, I pour in
graudally, stirring, as I do so, about
half the amount of cold milk called
for in the recipe. I then put the
saucepan back over the tire and stir
the mixture until it is smooth. I add
tlie rest of the milk and continue
stirring until the mixture is smooth
and thick. I then let it boil about
two minutes, stirring occasionally so
as to prevent it sticking. In case I
make more than two cups of white
sauce at one time I heat the milk in
order to save time and tlie labor of
stirring for a long time. It seems
to me that two minutes’ boiling is
long enough to produce a good flavor
—that is to say, to got rid of the
raw flavor vvhich uncooked flour has.
If you have plenty of time you may
cook the sauce in the top of a double
baler over the direct heat, and after
it thickens set it over hot water and
cook ten minutes. He sure to keep
it covered during this period.
“Many other sauces may be made
by this foundation method. If a bit
of onion is cooked with the butter
and a well seasoned stock is added
instead of the milk, you will have a
brown sauce which is appropriate
for serving with meats. If you use
water instead of milk, and flavor the
sauce with lemon juice and extra
butter, you will have a very good
fish sauce. If you use tomato pulp,
which has been cooked with onions,
a bay leaf and a few cloves and then
strain you will have a very good to¬
mato sauce. If you use three-quar
ters water and one-quarter vinegar,
and season with mustard and a lib¬
eral amount of sugar, you will have
a sauce which is particularly good to
serve with ham. Ham fat may be
used instead of butter.
"To go back to our original recipe
for white sauce, you may make it
richer and more colorful by stirring
a little of die white sauce mixture
into an egg yolk or two and return¬
ing this to the original mixture to beat
well and to heat. If you add to this
a little lemon juice you will have a
good imitation of hoiiandaise sauce.
Another delicious variation of this
same sauce may be made by using
half cream and half milk, as well as
the egg yolk. To the plain white
sauce you may add minced cooked
onions or grated cheese, or a little
anchovy or sardine paste. These
sauces go particularly well with
poached or hard-boiled eggs.”

NIGHT NOT BEST
TIME FOR STUDY,
SAYS EDUCATOR
The proverb that “one hour’s sleep
before midnight is worth two hours’
afterward,” usually is ridiculed by
physicians.
Most of them maintain that while
eight hours’ sleep is necessary at
some time during tlie twenty-four, it
makes little difference when it Is ob¬
tained.
A recent German investigation
tends, however, to cast doubt on this
medical opinion and to confirm the
ancient proverb, says Dr. B. E.
Free, in his Week's Science (New
York) :
“Dr. Theodor Stockmann, princi¬
pal of a school in Duisburg, noticed
that one of his pupils was falling be¬
hind in school work, and was becom¬
ing more and more lazy and sleepy.
“Inquiring into this young man’s
sleep habits, Doctor Stockmann
found that he was studying late at
night and sleeping late in the morn¬
ing. Change of this habit so that
the pupil slept before midnight and
••voke very early in the morning to
study caused remarkable improve¬
ment in school work and in health.
Doctor Stockmann then tested the
same idea on seventeen other pupils,
averaging about nineteen years old.
All turned out to be in better health
and to do better school work when
they habitually got four or five
hours’ sleep before midnight and got
up at three or four o’clock in the
morning to do their studying.
“Two pupils who worked part of
tlie day also found themselves in bet¬
ter health and more successful in
their studies when they went to bed
immediately after supper and did
their school work between midnight
and dawn. His observations also
suggest. Doctor Stockmann reports
to the German medical profession,
that less than eight hours’ sleep may
be enough, at least for young people,
provided all of it is obtained before
midnight.”—Literary Digest.
