•4o ^' if I I ^^ I ^ 1 -^ CHEER UP FOLKS, ALTHOUGH IT MAY SEEM THAT WAY - IT WON'T BE LONG NOW ! UNPAYSCHOOl LESSON By Ser, R. Barclay Warr«n J«»uii Faces Oppositior'. Mark 2:3 8; 16-17; 3:1-9 9old*n T«xt: â€" Bt not overcome a( CI, but overcome evil with good.â€" Tsans 12:21. , Anyoae who takes a leading part is public Wit ii always the object • ff severe criticism. Of course lead- ers make mistakes which warrant ^tic'lim. Bitt Te«us was exceptional. he never trred, yet he was intensely katec and jnvied and ultimately erucif-ed. J««i:» pronounced forgiveness of IMt« apon the man sick of the palsy. This they termed blasphemy, for "who can forgive sins but God •olyf" But Jesus demonstrated that 1m wts God by immediately healing Ike Kan. The man who had come Mirrled by four, walked out carrving Us bed. Thfn they found fault because Jesus ate with publicans and sinners. Re erred socially. He replied by ai- sertir-g, "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repent- ance. ' The third criticism recorded in the lesson 'was that of healing on the Sabbath. The man with the withered hand in the synagogue was probajly "planted" by the Pharisees. Thej' watched. He asked the man to ste.nd forth, and inquired. "Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" They did not answer. He Jiealei the man. Jesus was not seek- ing his own pleasure on the Sab- bath, but wa; reather mii\i5;tering to the needy, Criticism did'not make Jesus veer irom His course, though He knew k wo,:Id lead to the Cross. He con- tiiuiec to forgive sins, befriend the A Real Giant outcasts of society that he might lift them from sin and shame to hap- piness, and to do good on the Sab- bath. When we are censured it is well that we examine ourselves. One has said, "My critics are the unpaid guardians of my soul." We may learn some valuable lessons from our critics. But if wt ai>e follow- ing closely the example of Jesus, let us keep on despite the unkiad words that may be spoken of us. Let as "overcome evil with good". Be Prepared NEW and USEFUL TOO One of the best-known giant.-, in modern medical history was Ro- bert "vValdow of Alton, Illinois, who died in 1940 after reaching the amazing height of eight fee: ten Inches. His overactive pituit.irj' was first observed by a doiJtor when Robert's father brought him to the hospit.il to find out why the boy was growing so fast. .\Ithough he weighed only nine pouncs at birth, he weighed }<) by the time he was si.x niontlis old. At a year and a half he weighed 61. At nine, he had reached a height of •ix feet one inch, and weighed 178. \t 18, when he entered college, Rober: Wadlow was eight fci't three and & half inches tall and still growing, although his muscular de- v«lop;.;ent was beginning to slow down.

When David and his parents had been to the Palace th«f told listeners to the BBC's "I« Town Tonight" programme what It felt like to visit the King in his own home. "It all seems unreal now," said Mr. Western. "When we got to the Palace we were met by two ushers who took David away into another room. My wife and I were shown into a Grand Hall, and It took our breath away, I can t«U you. It must be about two hundred yards long and it's covered with a red carpet. The ceiling is inlaid with gold, and there are beautiful oil paintin.:^! on the walls, and marble columns down the Hall. Two seats had been reserved for us ia. a line of chairs on either side of the dais, and a band played all the time we waited for the King to appear. If anybody'd told me, when I was in North .\frica with the Des- ert Rats, or when I was a prisoner of war, that one day I'd be sitting in Buckingham Palace â€" well, 1*1 have said they were crackers!" David, who received his medal for a very brave attempt to rescue two friends who had fallen through the ice on a frozen pond, and who was in icy water for twenty-five minutes, said of his visit, "I wasn't nervous â€" because I'm a Scout and we ihvays have to be prepared."

Ignorant Driving throuah the mountains of Tennessee, a young lady stopped to ask an elderly man the wav to Coflfe* Hill School. "Well, miss," said the native, "you go down here until you corns to Hangin' Rock and then â€" you know where that is, dontcha:" "No," replied my friend, "I don't believe 1 do." , "Well, that's where you turn off and go on two miles until you git to Tumblln' Creek, You know where that is, dontcha?" "No, I don't." "I'm sorry, miss." said the native shaking his head regretfully.

Clo^rke We had a near-tragedy in our animal family last week â€" and I was just about ready to give Honey her walking papers! It was after break- fast and 1 was busy in tlie pantry. Honey was running around as usual; Joseph Mark was asleep on a chair. Presently I heard a bit of a- scuffle and then a plop; but I didn't pay any attention as the cat and the pup are always cliasing each other around anyway. But when I did turn round tliere was Mark stretched out on tlie floor, stiff as a ramrod, mouth ooen and showing absolutely no sign of life at all. As I picked him up I won- dered what on earth the pup could have done to knock him out so com- pletely. "Perliaps she grabbed his throat â€" perhaps he needs air," 1 thought. So I ran outside to the front step and sat rubbing poor Mark's throat. Presently he started the most awful twitchings, like â-  chicken before it dies. "Oh dear, this is the end," I thought. "Poor Kitty, to think I saved you when you were small and then to hav^_ you die like this." However, I kept on rubbing â€" and Mark kept twitch- ing, .^nd then ht opened his eyesi Then iie started to breatiie very noisily â€" like something being rattled around in a tin can. By that time I had begun to hope and â€" to cut a long story short â€" my hope was just- ified. Mark actually did recover bat for the rest of the day he couldn't .walk properly, didn't eat and could- â- 't rkise his hind leg to scratch his •ar. He breathed noisily all day and was so scared all he wanted was to get out of tiie house. That I could- not allow â€" you know how an animal will crawl away to a dark corner M it is sick or injured and you don't know whether it is alive or dead. So I kept Mirk in the house but it meant a sort of Washington Post all day â€" taking Mark down the cellar and bringing up the pup; then after an hour or two taking the pup down the cellar and bringing up Mark. The cat, naturally, had to Jbe kept away from the pup until he was able to look after himself. And what did I do to tli..; pap? Nothing St all. Honey had done no more than she had any other time â€" I think it was just that the eat, •being asleep, was taken off guard. I believe the pup must have grab- l»«d him near the end of his spine aad he dropped like a log to the floor. Believe nie, we are certainly glad Mark recovered. Apart from the fact that he is a splendid pat, he Is also more than worth his keep. No mouse ii ever likely to become a grandmother while Mark is around â€" he is as quick ai a flash. • * « Our next adventure was on Satur- day. After dinner I was all set to go down town with an order of eggs and chicken when Bob came in. "You certainly can't drive down- town yourself," he said, "better get ready and I'll take you down in the big truck. That'll be the safest thing on the road today." I had no idea what he was talking about until I looked outside. Oh my â€" freez- ing rain and slippery as glass under- foot! I was glad enough to go in the big truck. And even that 4M a bit of slithering around on the road. Later that afternooo my sister phoiTfd â€" would it be all right If she came out for the weekendf "Sure it's all right,'" I said. And then addedâ€" "but the roads are ter- ribly icy." She was so surprised. "But there is nothing but slush ia Toronto," she exclaimed. A little later the phone rang again. Sister had missed the train. "But there is a train going to Georgetown ia twenty minutes, could you meet me tliere?" she asked. "We certainly couldn't â€" not on these roads," I answered. "You had better come out in the morning." So she did. and got a taxi from the station. On the way here the taxi- driver told her a bit about tiie awful driving conditions the night before. I was very glad he did because I was a little afraid Sister might think I had been making excuses and did not want her to come. But I needn't have worried because the paper on Monday morning had til kinds of stories about traffic tie-ups, ai you very well know. Sometimes it is hard for people in the city to rsalise how different weather con- ditions can be in the country. So why beat about the bush? Better risk giving offence to someone than to risk life and limb on dangerous roads. Explanations ean mead hurt feelings but explanations won't mend broken Ilmbi.
