As .God's obedient servant, Jesus energetically -gave himself up to His work. ■ , ■ I. Teaching in the synagogue (v, 2). This He did on the Sabbath‘ day.- He could let no opportunity to do good pass.- v- ■■■>'. ‘ 2. The result of His teaching (vv. 2, 3). (1) The people were astpnlshed. In their y astonishment they, asked questions; (a) From whence hath this man these things? (b) IViigt wisdom Is given unto Him? (c) Is not tills the carpenter? (d)’ Are not His sis­ ters with' us? That His wisdom and power were superhuman, they could not doubt,> The only answer to their questions-te Christ’s absolute Deity. (2) The.people were offended (v. 3). Not being able to answer their own questions and fo believe their own eyes abd .ears, they rejected Him. This rejection was not because they knew Him too well, hut because they knew Him not at all. HbT country­ men judged Him by His brothers, sis­ ters, and father, and therefore failed to know Him. II. "My Father Worketh Hitherto, and 1 Work" (John 3:17). Jesus hud on' the Sabbath day healed an Impotent man, They sought to kill Him for this good deed, and" when He linked himself with God ItT this they more earnestly -bought to kill Him. They tried to kill Him be­ cause He mudeNhimself equal with God. The special points of equality with God were; 1. Giving life to the dead. No-hu­ man being has ever been able to raise another from the dead. The Jews rightly interpreted His claim to being able to raise the dead as a claim to Deity., . \ 2 , Judging mankind .-1 No human be­ ing 1 s wise enough to judge*his fellow being, Christ’s claim tp be thejudge of mankind they Interpreted to be-His Claim to Deity, and they were correct. HI, The Man Who Will Not. Work Should Not Cat (IX'Thess, 3:0-13). There had developed among the Christiana at Thessqlonica a-tendency to-' Idleness. Some* vyere neglecting their lawful earthly callings—even to the, extent that they were becoming a charge fo the churehT From the cou- Jeit of the ThessalOHIan epistles it would seem that this serious condi­ tion. was (he result of wrong views concerning the second coming of Christ. Such as this lb wholly wrong and absolutely contrary to the signifi­ cance o f "the blessed hope;” .The at­ titude of those possessing an intei: llgent View of the Lord’s coming as taught by Christ and the apostles, is earnest attention to the present duty. “Occupy till I come,” , 1$' Christ’s charge. Speculative star-gazers have brought this precious ,doctrine into disrepute. Unceasing fidelity to all the responsibilities of the present- la the correct attitude of those who are waiting for the Son from heaven. To correct this wrong, Paul— 1. Asserts his ' authority to' com­ mand (v. 6 ). This authority was given him by Christ. . . . 2 . Commands them to withdraw from those who' thus walk disorderly (v. 0 ). 8 . Paul’s example (vv. 7-9). Paul pressed With great earnestness the doctrine of the Lord’s return, and yet consistently continued in his lawful 'calling. In order to not be chargeable unto them lie labored with, great earnestness night and day. !.« Those who Will not work should not eat (v. 10).. This Is the right principle upon which to base all Works of charity. It Is the efficient cure for pauperism. The right economic order has as its foundation principle; Work In order to eat. This should apply to all dosses, rich add poor. 5, Busybodies exhorted (vr. .ll(,12). Idle men and women always become busybodies.

Saw Value of Good Roads. The first man to recognize the Im­ portance of roads in relation to civic progress was Lord Francis Bacon. He wrote 300 years ago that three ele­ ments were necessary to* the growth of a community-—fertile sail, busy workshops and easy conveyance of men and things from one place to another.
