Golden ~Text: John 10: 10.

~The first two verses of the les-_
son text tell of the pool that stirred
at times by a bubbling up of its
| water. The people believed: the
_bubbling was caused by an angei
|}and that the first to get into the
pool would be healed.

Lying at: the. pool was-a poor
afflicted fellow who had suffered
/some dread malady for thirty-eight
~years and who had never been
~able to be the first to step into
'the pool after the bubbling of the
~water. When Jesus saw the man
/and asked him if he desired to be
healed, the poor fellow told of his
~failure to get into the pool. Then
Jesus said to him, ~Arise, take
up thy bed, and walk.~ And at
once the man rejoiced to find that
he could. obey. He took up his bed
~and walked.
| The story indicates that the man
~had come into his sad condition
~because of his own sins. Perhaps
~am evil disease had laid hold of him
\because.of his vices. While the book
~of Job teaches us that suffering is
mot necessarily a result and an
~ewidence of guilt, we can but believe that many diseases are diTeetly the penalty of sin.

~Let us see that temperate, ~sane
ving is a good insurance of health
and happiness. There is much truth
in the Japanese proverb, ~A noble
~soul dwells in a_ strong bedy.~~
~Rightly provided for, the body will
~be the dwelling place of -all good
things, the fit habitation of God
himself. But abused and broken
by sin, the poor old body will become the dwelling of despair.

Sermon Of The Week...

~Bp Rev. W. E. Teague

Then He arése, and rebuked
the winds an dthe sea; and there
was a great calm. PY Matthews,
8-26.

In this chapter we have Christ~s
cleansing of a leper, His. curing
a palsy and fever, His controlling
the tempest. This miracle is also

a parable, setting forth Christ as
a giver of peace. and safety, both
to individuais and to His Church.
St. Augustine says, ~We are sailing in this life as through a sea,
and the wind rises, and storms of
temptation are ~- not wanting.~
Therefore Christ: doesn~t only
calm the storm at sea, but He
calms the storms of the soul.
Christ for proof~s sake brought
order out of confusion and calm
out of storm, proving Himself
the Lord of physical nature as
well as of spiritual world He who
is omnipotent came not to make
the outward world calm, but came
to show Himself supreme, and to
introduce an inward peace into
all our confusion. He saves not
by taking us out of difficulty, but
by making us ~in our weakness
strangely strong; not by smoothing the circumstances, but by fortifying the soul, byjinfusing grace
at the: moment, and pointing to
an indestructable peace beyond.

The Scripture says: And when
He was entered into a ship, His
disciples followed Him.- And, behold, there arose a great tempest
in the sea, insomuch that the ship
was covered with the waves; but
he was asleep. And. his disciple
came to him, and awoke Him,
saying, Lord, save us, we perish.
And He saith unto them, why are

~lye fearful, O ye of little faith!

Then He arose and rebuked the
winds and the sea; and there was

a great calm. In the hour of her}

wildest uproar nature knew the
voice of Him who was her -right~ful Lord, and gladly returned
her legiance to Him. This set
them wondering. The men marveled. They had been acquainted with the sea for a long time,
but never saw a storm so immediately turned into perfect calm
in all their lives. Taey saia what
manner of man is this;:even the

winds and the sea obey Him. We/|:

know not the way of the wind,
much less can we control it, but
He that bringeth forth the wind

| out of His treasury; and when it
is out gathers it in his fists, He|

that can do this can do anything.
He can do enough to encourage
our confidence, faith and comfort
in Him in;the most stormy days
without or within.

The ship that is being tossed is
a figure of the Church in_ the
world, being tossed by the waves
of ~persecution and temptation.
But by the prayer of the Saints,
Jesus is roused and restores peace
to His own.

Again my friends: The stormbeaten boat on the lake is a type
of our lives. For everyone of us
there are fimes when there arises
a great tempest, the storm of sorrow sweeps over our home, our
young men and women: are being
the far-flung battle
fields, some never. to return, leaving many homes broken. Then in
that time of tempest, when the
waves seem to go even over our
souls, let us as Christians remem
| ber that the ship in which we must

cross the waves of this troublesome world is the ship-of Church:
and that it carries Jesus, and
where Jesus is there is a great
calm.

Let us fly to Him in prayer,
who has never forgotten them,

nor has He never failed, He can!

make a peace, which. passeth all
understanding.

~When the storms of life are

raging, stand by me.
