I cured myself after suffering years of tor- | ture, The woman sald she had been a cripple, unable to walk until she heard of Coueism and that by the practice of autosuggestion she had cured herself almost entirely.

Golden Text—God raiseth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble. I Pe s Social 1ife presents tests that have | i proven to be pitfalls to many men. Persons who have mastered all other temptations have fallen under the in- fluence of the soclal lobby. The ene- mies of Jesus, having failed to over- come Him in their previous efforts, sought by means of a treacherous in- | vitatlon to gecure the prosence of the Master in the home 6f one of their chiefs, to break bread. Our Lord did | not ref to dine with the Pharise although He knew the malleious mo- tives hich prompted the invitation. “ The Phurisees watched Him c stantly with the hope of s i some damaging evidence wh 1d be used in bringing Him before the authorities, whom they controlled, so that the Christ would be legally’ si- d. The appearance of the drop- b 1 man standing in a prominent place appears to sustain the sugges- tion that he was intentionally placed there by the Pharisees ‘“to test ‘hrist's willingness to respect their Subbath prejudices, or to defeat His miraculous power by the fajjure to i cure u disease more inveterate and |t less amenable to curc than any |l other.” Jesus turned the tables upon them by asking, s it lawful to healfa th day?” The Pharlsees |t appear unfricndiy to | hey probably Lad per- the feast with the of being cured, and they appar- Iy were ashamed 1o reve heurtlessness, while at the they were 100 striet in their Sab P tarlanism to say that it was lawful |t to do humane act. Jesus turned to the man, who probably had been sin- cere in his coming, not realizing that the Pharisees were tryving to make a tool of him, and He “healed bim and let him go.” Christ always utilized every oppor- tunity presented to him to uplift mankind. When He marked” the un- seemly greed for soclal position and distinction which _was manlifested among th guests who had been in- vited to dinner in i home of wealth, | he turned upon the Pharisces and howed them their conceit and pre- sismption in matter of etiquette. Today we see the Pharisees of old in our modern socfal climbers, who punetillious and imperious on points f their own preference and, un- abashed, push themselves into fore- most places.
