LESSON FOR JANUARY 27
help thus temporarily removed means
a demand for farm help and increased
farm effort to t^ii it* highly productive
acres. Hon. Chss. Stewart. Premier of
Alberta, In a message to the people on
The Heads of Canada's Western the 1st of January, speaks with such
Provinces, and Their
Message.
The Cnlted States having been in
Columbia: This continual patching
of the map la getting on my nerves!
It seems to me the time has come for
Uncle Sam and me to make the map
all white by a prohibition amendment
to tho Federal constitution! — The
Union 8ignal.
WHAT IT HAS DONE FOR MAINE.
It Is Impossible to Judge of the com-
plete elllclency of prohibition by sur-
fuce Investigations. One has to know
what conditions were before prohibi-
tion came to pass, and u study of con-
ditions In Maine previous to the adop-
tion of the prohibitory policy—as re-
corded by those who witnessed the
change which came over the stute six-
ty year* ugo when it outlawed the traf-
fic—leaves no doulit of such u transfor-
mation there at that time as has re-
cently been taking place In such states
as Oregon, Washington, Arizona and
the atutew of the South, lty all the ac-
counts of lliose times the unmistak-
able signs of shlftlessness and poverty
due to drink were everywhere preva-
lent In Maine. But the one thing thut
Impresses visitors to the state more
than anything else today Is the thrift—
the splc-and-spanness of buildings and
grounds, even to tho white paling
fences which testify to the effect that
the prohibition of drink has had upon
the population. The siivIiiks habit pos-
sesses Maine to a startling degree.
Street urchins carry pennies to store-
keepers and deposit them there until
the amount reaches $1, then the dollar
Is proudly carried to the savings hank.
And the comparative paucity of crimes,
the smallness of the state penitentiary,
the safety with which women and chil-
dren visiting the state In the summer
roam the woods and hills of Maine, all
point the same prohibition morul.
THE SIGNS IN OHIO.
In 11*14 the wet mnjorlty In Ohio
was 88,112; In 1015, 55,408; lu 1017,
U8T.
It Is significant that not only was
the wet majority of the state reduced
In remarkable degree, but the Inrge
cities made great dry gains. Even Cin-
cinnati gnliicd. Cleveland, Toledo,
Yoiingstown, Akron, Canton, nil gave
prohibition majorities, nnd the drya
curried Columbus, the capital city.
City dwellers as well as rural eltlr.ena
are beginning to realize that the li-
cense policy means economic wnatc.
It Is easy to predict the result of
Ohio's "next time I"

This Is one of the most dramatic,
spectacular incidents recorded in the
HMli It Is a good illustration for
Sunday school teachers on how to tell
a story by Imagining what one would
naturally do. We ought to have our
scholars see with their imagination,
the story of this lesson as though they
were eye-witnesses of the whole scene.
The time was about May or June A. D.
28, the second year of Jesus' ministry,
a few weeks following the last lesson,
during which time he had been preach-
ing and healing In the surrounding
country.
I. Introduction. Jesus could testify
In a home as well as before the multi-
tudes. Indeed It was after having tes-
tified in the home (r. I.) that the
crowds gathered about the doorway,
for it was not known that he was there,
until tome days after he had been In
the house. Luke tells us that the
crowds which came, came not only
from Oalilee but Judea and even Je-
rusalem. Jesus did his work so well
In the home that wherever he was, the
world wore a path to his doorway. No-
tice verse two; when the crowd gath-
ered about, he spoke unto them "the
word." In this we see a parable.
Many a successful man, when he be-
comes popular, forgets to preach the
pure Gospel, the Word of Life.
II. An Impelling Nesd (vv. 3:4).
This man who had paralysis, L e., dis-
abled on one side, was not only de-
prived of his sensation but his power
of motion. As to the cause of his diffi-
culty, his previous character of life,
there Is no word of suggestion. We see
abundant evidence today, however, to
know that many such cases nre the
results of our own debaucheries and
one would gather frolft the course
which Jesus pursued with this man
that perhaps his case was likewise the
result of his early sin. The teacher
might well read In this connection
Luke 16:11-10. Of course, this man
may not have been a rrodlgal son.
Nevertheless, he had as much suffer-
ing as though he had been and ns far
as he himself was concerned, he wns
helpless, a picture of all sinners. He,
however, had friends, very enterpris-
ing ones. And so putting him upon the
double quilt or coverlet, which could be
rolled together In a bundle of moderate
size, they carried him Into the pres-
ence of the mnstcr.
III. Jesua Forgives and Defends His
Rights (vv. 5:12). The crowd was so
great nbout the house that "they could
not como nigh unto him for the press."
They were not, however, discouraged;
but leaving the crowd, they went up
tho usual outside stairs, bearing the
sick man with them unto the roof
which "they uncovered"—literally they
dug through tho flat roof made of
brunches and twigs and covered with
earth, and which could be as easily re-
paired. Travelers In eastern countries
have often seen a similar act perform-
ed even In this day. They then let
down the bed or mattress by the four
corners. Tho roof was so low that
no cords were needed and those below
received the man from the hands of
the four upon the roof nnd plnced him
In front of Jesus. Jesus commends
"their deed" us indicated In all three
of tho Gospel records. Not alone phys-
ical ohstndcs had to be overcome, but
the attitude of the scribes (v. 7). Was
It right, was It honest to brenk through
the roof of a man's house? Would
they mako It good? Was tho owner
glad to huve had It done? Jesus did
not hesitate or speculate over such
questions, but goes nt once to the Issue
nnd said to the man sick of the palsy,
"Son, bo of good cheer, thy sins be
(nre) forgiven thee." See Mntthew's
nnd Mark's account. "Son," Is a word
of endearment; tho word "be" is not
its strong In the old form ns the word
"nre" forgiven. Jesus went at once
to the unhenlcd wound In the soul, the
sense of unforglven sin. Forgiveness
Is not of the Judge who sentences "not
guilty," but a father who welcomes
and restores one to sonshlp. It Is res-
toration to life. Tho Bible story of
the prodlgnl son nnd that scene pic-
tured In the seventh chapter of Luke,
the feast where Jesus dealt with a
woman of the city, who ministers unto
htm, are good Illustrations of the mas-
ter's attitude of nilud ou this occasion.

what Canada has done, and learn that
Canada today is bigger and better than
ever, they will take heart, and with in-
creasingly growing vigor carry on with
a greater courage. Canada has been
In the war for three and a half years.
She has sent 400.000 out of a popula-
tion of eight million, she has sub-
scribed to Victory Bonds over and
over again and there is no sound of a
whimper. * At each demand that Is
made upon her resources, she meets It,
and gets ready for the next. Becently
her people yere asked to subscribe
$300,000,000. She handed over $400,-
000,000.
Having already contributed 400.000
soldiers, Canada was recently asked to
approve of sending another 100,000.
With a sweeping majority, consent was
given.
How the war affects Canada Is best
shown hy the willingness of the people
to contribute. They, too, realize the
great and noble part they are taking
In this great conflict. They are a unit
on making the world better. Canada's
wealth wns never shown to better ad-
vantage than in the present struggle.
It possesses great wealth In the soil. In
Its mines. Its other natural resources,
and wonderful riches In the tenacity
and courage of Its men and Its women.
The soil and the climate, and the har-
dihood and determination of the farm-
ing class to win, by cultivating and
cultivating, growing wheat and raising
cattle to build up the resources so j
necessary to carry on the war, are fac-
tors that will count. • Dr. Pierce's Pleasunt Pellets are the

"Manitoba has prospered exceeding-
ly during the year 1017, nnd the new
yenr finds us not only still ready and
willing, but unceasingly able to bear
whatever burdens the fourth yenr of
the war may bring.
"Manitoba farmers, generally speak-
ing, huve never been In better condi-
tion to carry on. Out of her prosperity
Manitoba is giving lavishly toward the
winning of the war. Every appeal for
funds has met with quick and generous
response. The people of the Province
are well settled Into the collar In all
war efforts. There's a spirit of deter-
mination, of willingness to make sac-
rifices, of confidence In the certain out-
come, of which there is no room for
pessimism. Manitoba will' carry on."
Saskatchewan had n prosperous and

that was fully warranted.
"There Is no doubt that the province

clnlly than ever before. True, the ef-

but speaking generally, the farmers on
