A STRONG RIGHT ARM
Stung by his taunt,
Jesus'aceusers hes-
itated when he told
them by what au-
thority he had driv- {
en the money-chang-
ers from the Temple,!
and in their moment j
of hesitation were
lost. The soldiers
turned their backs;;
it was nothing that
Bruce Btrton they cared about.
But the crow<) burst forth inamighty
cheer and rushing forward bore him
out of the Temple, the priests and the
fnoney-changers scurrying before
!him. That night his action was the
talk of the town.
It is a very familiar story, much
preached upon and pictured. But al-
most invariably the pictures show
Jesuswithahaloaroundhishead, as
though that was the explanation ot
his triumph. The truth is so much
simpler and more impressive. There
was, in his eyes, a flaming moral pur-
pose; and greed and oppression have
always shriveled before such fire.
But with the majesty of Jesus'
glance there was something else
,"which counted powerfully in his fav-
or. As his right arm rose and fell,
striking its blows with that little
*whip, the sleeve dropped back to re-
veal muscles hard as iron. No one
who watched him in action had *-ny
doubt that he wasfuily capable of
t^kiop care of himself. No flabby
priest or money-changer cared to try
conclusions with that arm.
There are those to whom it will
seem almost irreverent to suggest
that Jesus was physically strong.
They think of him as a voice, a pres-
ence, a spirit; they never feel the rich
contagion of his laughter, nor remem-
ber how heartily he enjoyed good
food, nor think of what his years of
hard toil must have done to his arms
and back and legs. Look for a minute
at those first thirty years.
There was no softbed for Ms
motheronthe night he entered the
tvorld. He was brought forth in a sta-
ble, amid animals and the animal-like
men who tended them.
When Jesus was still an infant the
family hurried away into Egypt. On
the long trip back, some years later,
he was judged old enough to walk,
for there were younger children; and
so, day after day, he trudged beside,
the little donkey, a hard life.
Early in his boyhood Jesus, as the
eldest son, went into the family ear
penter shop. The practise of car-
pentry was no easy business in those
simpler days. Doubtless the man who
took a contract for a house assumed
responsibilities for digging into the
rough hillside for its foundations; for
felling trees in the forest, and shap-
ing them with an adze.
In after years those who listened to
the talk of Jesus by the Sea of Gali-
lee, and heard him speak of the "man
t-obuilthishouseuponarock"ha'l
no doubt that he knew what he was
talking about. Some of them had seen
him bending his strong clean shout-
ders to deliver heavy blows.
So he "waxed strong" as the nar
rative tells us—a phrase which has
rather been buried under the too-fre-
quent repetition of "the meek and
lowly" and "the lamb."
SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
By Charles E. Dunn
The Christian in the Family
Lesson for Oct. 9—Luke 2: 40-52
Golden Text: Psalm 101; 2
The family is the
most fundamental of
all institutions. A
true home, as Rus
kin says, "is the
place of Peace; txe
shelter, not only
fromall injury, but
from all terror,
doubt, and division."]
Burns lovingly des-
cribed it in "The}
Key chst. K. Dunn Cotter's Saturday i
Night." Whittier immortalized its,
castle-like security in "Snowbound."
Consider the integrity of the old-
fashioned home. The Bible was in
constant use. The Lord's Day was
revered. Family affection was in-
tense. Learning and the fine arts
were held in high esteem.
The Master was horn into such &
home. Our lesson, the charming story
oftheboyJesusin thetemple,por-
trays a lad nurtured in an atmosphere
of systematic spiritual culture, where
plain living and high thinking were
the rule. The sweet offices of prayot
and meditation were as natural to
Mary asbreathing, and her Son ab-
sorbed to the full the fragrance of her
winsome beauty and devotion.
Strong forces are now at work to
undermine the stability of, the Chris-
tian family. It is surely no time for
complacency. Only one child out of
four receives today the benefits of
religious teaching. Our spiritual il-
literacy is alarming. We must insist
: that the home is not safe save when
girded by Christian precepts. Our age
! craves freedom, but freedom unin-
j spired by the discipline of Christ Is
valueless.
The noble words of our Golden
Text, "I will walk within my house
with a perfect heart," could have
been spoken by the Master Himself'.
They represent the completeness of
His well-balanced personality, an
ideal which all right-thinking folk, in
a day of spiritual confusion and dark-
ness, cherish for themselves.
One of the finest expressions of the
Christian ideal in family life are the
'words of Ruth to Naomi; "Whither
thou goest, I will go; and where thou
lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall
be my people, and thy God my God."
Cannot each one of us say the same,
only addressing ourselves to Christ?
It is He who glorifies ordinary fam-
ily cares and joys. With His help the
lost radiance of the home can be re-
stored.
THE PU3HC should be
prudent in seeking relief from
pain. Take nothing which does
n't have the approval of the
medical profession.
BAYER ASPtRtN will never
do you ^ny harm, and almost
always brines the desired relief.
But remember that the high
medical endorsement given
Bayer Aspirin does not apply to
all tablets for relief of pain.
TH5 DOCTOR is carefnl to
specify /Atf/cr Aspirin for these
important reasons:
It has no injurious ingredients.
No coarse particles to irritata
throat or stomach. Nothing to
upset the system. Not even any
dtsagrecable taste. The Bayer
process insures a pure, uniform
product.
