tard. It is scientifically prepared, so
that it works wonders.

lief-bow speedily the pain disappears.

chitis, tonsilitis, croup, stiff neck,
asthma, neuralgia, headache, conges-
lion, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago,

sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chil-
blains, frosted feet, colds of the chest

1. Jesus Passing Through Jericho
Jericho is noted as the stronghold
of the Canaanites, which was miracu-
lously delivered into the hands of
Israel in response to their faith (Josh.
0), and also for the faith of Rahab,
which saved her from destruction
with the city (Heb. 11 :30, 31).
II. Zacchaeus Seeking Jesus (vv.
2-4).
1. His Object (v. 3). He sought to
see who Jesus was. Though perhaps
prompted by curiosity he eagerly
sought Jesus. He doubtless had heard
of Jesus’ kind treatment of publicans,
so was prompted to see what kind of
a man He was.
2. His Difficulties (vv. 2, 8). (1)
His infamous business (v. 2). He was
a tea collector of the Roman govern-
ment. The very fact that a Jew held
such an office under the hated Romans
would make him extremely unpopular.
Then since he was rich It was evident
that be had practiced extortion in col-
lecting the taxes. (2) His shortness
of stature (v. 8). He was too small to
crowd his way through to Jesus, and
being hated by the people they thrust
him aside, no doubt with taunts and
jeers. (3) His persistence (v. 4). He
ran before the multitude and climbed
up into a tree. What he lacked in
stature he was determined should be
made up by the height of the tree. Ob-
stacles placed before him he brushed
aside and those he could not brush
aside he climbed over, because he had
set his heart upon the goal. Though
Zacchaeus’ legs were too short to en-
able him to see Jesus they were long
-enough to run past the crowd and en-
able him to climb the tree. It was
somewhat undignified for this rich
man to climb, the tree, but his soul
was so desirous, to see Jesus that he
cast his pride to the winds.
III. Jesus Finding Zacchaeus (vv.
5, 6).
While Zacchaeus was trying to see
Jesus, Jesus was looking for him. This
is always the case. When Jesus saw
him he commanded him to come down
from the tree and declared his Inten-
tion to go home with him. Zacchaeus
got more than he expected. Jesus did
not utter a word which would humili-
ate Zacchaeus. Jesus knew his heart’s
desire and dealt accordingly with him.
All souls who earnestly seek Jesus
shall be found 6f Him. How wonder-
ful His grace, that regardless of one’s
past life, that Jesus will receive him
as a friend and enter into fellowship
with him. Zacchaeus quickly respond-
ed. He came down and with joy re-
ceived Jesus.
IV. Zacchaeur’ Conversion (vv.
7-10).
His conversion was sudden and
thorough. He was converted before
he had reached the ground. It does
not take Jesus long to save a soul.
L- What the Crowd Said (v. 7).
They said just what they say today
when sinners come to Christ. They
called to mind the man’s former sins.
They also reproached Christ, saying
that he had come to be a guest of this
notorious extortioner, the tex collec-
tor. His supreme mission was to save
sinners (v. 10). Jesus came not to
condemn us, but to save us; not to
shame and destroy us, but to save
from sin and reconcile us to God our
Father. ‘
2. What Zacchaeus Said (v. 8). His
conversion was thorough. It took hold
upon his heart. His new life was be-
gun with resolution and restitution.
He dedicated the half of his goods to
the poor. His conversion got hold of
his pocketbook. His determination to
make restitution wherein he had
wrongly exacted taxes shows the
genuineness of his conversion. While
God forgets the past of a sinner when
he comes to Christ, the sinner who is
converted will seek to make right all
wrongs, be they unkind words or un-
righteous deeds.
3. What Jesus Said (vv. 9, 10). “To-
day Is salvation come to thy house.”
The publican was now a child of God,
a son of Abraham. Salvation is a
present reality when one receives
Christ.

Some FFood for Thought
WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST, the largest publisher of news
papers in this country, says:
“The newspaper is one of the most valuable articles in a community,
and still, in spite of its actual and obvious value, it sells both its cir-
culation and its advertising space at n ridiculously low rate in com-
parison with its values.”
This is precisely the truth when it comes te advertising in
The Houston Informer
The Houston Informer goes its more colored homes than al other
local colored newspapers combined and enjoys the second largest
circulation in Texas among colored journals.
The Houston Informer also reaches more colored people than any
daily newspaper in the city. Its circulation is LARGE and is still
jumping by leaps and bounds, proving that it is
THE PEOPLE’S PAPER
Its advertising rates are LOW is comparison with its values to the
advertisers.
There are fully 40,000 colored citizens in Houston and this volu
of business is surely worth going after.
