C, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 193l Famous Churches of the World ’ St. Michael’s Church, Marblehead, Massachusetts. | HE corner stone of the old church at Marblehead was laid on September 2, 1714, and to- day, after more than two cen- turies, St. Michael’s is still in |use, the quaint wooden structure but |little changed since the day when it was erected. Of the 33 persons whose names appear as contributors to the original building fund, 29 were sea cap- tains who were in the habit of coming to the port on trading trips. They sup- iplied not only most of the money, but brought from England most of the ma- Itl‘rial.& that were to be used in the con- struction of the building. The collector of the English port of Bristol presented the church with the brass chandelier which still sways from the same point in the ceiling, and one David LaGallais a silver communion service in still_in use. nary War caused trouble for St. Mickael's, inasmuch as the rec- tor and many of his flock were stanch loyalists, They fled to Nova Scotia to cscape the frenzied mobs who proceeded to occupy the edifice for the balance of the war period. During these trouble- some years one churchman, fearing that the mobs would destroy all copies of flagon of which, weigh- | the Prayer Book, distinguished himself by copying with pen and ink the com- plete contents of the Book of Common Prayer. The congregation diminished rapidly after the Revolution until 1818, when funds for the maintenance of the church were no longer obtainable. The church was closed and the globe sold to pay off the debt. In 1333, howaver, vigorous attempts on the part of the Congregationalists to sccure the church aroused the whole Episcopal Church in the United States, until parish after parish contributed financial aid and St. Michael's was once more set on its feet. The first organ set up in the church was a_purchase from old St. Paul's in New York City, an instrument on which the inaugural march was played when George Wash'ngton took the oath of office as first President of*the United States. During the great fire of 1877, when all the town seemed doomed to destruc- tion, the old church was s-ved only by the most heroic efforts of the popula- tion. It still stands, the most noble sort of moniment of the past, and the recent addition of a commodious chapel and parish house shows the continuing progressive spirit of its parishioners.

Hugh T. Stevenson. JESUS BEARING GOOD TID- INGS. Luke, vili.1-56. Golden text: “He went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing good tidins of the Kingdom of God.” Luke, viil.1. Washington dedicated his life upon freedom’s holy altar and became a missionary of liberty. In the records of his victorles as a soldier, one is impressed by his generosity to his foes. He revealed it when he asked his vie- torious troops to show a propeér spirit towards the forces of Cornwallis, whom they had defeated at Yorktown. When Peter Miller asked him to pardon his bitterest enemy, who was about to be hanged because he had been proven When informed by the aged man that “Jesus did as much for me” Washing- ton went into another room and soon returned with the pardon, which he handed to Miller. The American com- | mander thanked him for “this example | of Christian charity.” Washington's contribution to civilization has been a guide in America's most difficult mo- ments, because the great commander in his trying hours prayed to the Captain of his salvation for aid. Our Lord was a missionary, sent from heaven to bring liberty to men from sin. He left His headquarters at Caper- naum to carry the message of the good tidings to other places. He took with Him the apostles, who were students of His methods and ministry. A group of women and others went with thmi and helped through their contributions to maintain the Master and the 12 in| their missionary work. Crowds fol- | lowed Him wherever He went, so we find Jesus and His disciples at the sea- shore, where the Master was preaching to the multitude, using a vessel for a | Captain of our salvation in carrying| pulpit. | Parable of Soils. i While the Lord Jesus was speaking to the crowd upon the shore Christ saw back of the multitude & farmer sowing seed in a hillside farm. He could easily see “the hard-trodden path be- tween the bare ground, bare of fruit: the rocky hillside, with its scant soil and withered growth; the clumps of thorn bushes, choking all life but their own, but, best of all, the broad, un- broken fields of goodly grain, the faiti- ful sower's joy and reward.” Jesus made it the basis of His parable, com- monly called “The Sower” to instruct His disciples concerning the funda- mental truths of the kingdom. In His explanation of this parable the Master showed that its central trut) made it a parable of “The Soils,” be- cause the difference in crops was de- termined by the variation in the soil. The wayside hearers represented the nominal religious class. whose hearts are so hardened by worldliness that they appear to be attentive to the services, but in reality are thoughtless and in- different to spiritual affairs. The rocky ground represents those whose religious natures are shallow and thin, like the ground over the rocky ledges. Fre- quently they are emotional and en- thusiastic, but they lack patience and perseverance in God's service. The thorny soil represented those who are trying to serve God and mammon. Their spiritual life is choked and smothered with the cares, riches and pleasures of this world. The good soil is the whole-hearted and loyal followers who have denied themselves, taken up their cross daily and followed the Lord Jesus. Our attitude toward the gospel determines what its influence upon our lives will be and to what extent we shall become like Christ in our conduct and character. Hearing and Doing. Following this parable He gave them warning as to their obligations as God's lighted lamps who are assigned the duty of helj guide souls by the light of their lives to the Lord. We need to be careful how we hear the gospel, for by "hearing and doing we establish our relation to the Master. During the storm that threatened their lives Jesus demonstrated that the winds and waves obeyed Him, just as we ought to prove our faith by doing His will and work. In the country of the Gadarenes, probably modern Kherea, where many rock-cut tombs exist today above the ground, and & steep precipice runs down into the sea, the Master was met by a man possessed by many demons. Jesus healed him and allowed the un- clean spirits to enter the swine. The citizens put material possessions and swine above Christ, who then left their Returning to Capernaum, He was met by & great crowd. Among these was a ruler of the synagogue. This officer had an only daughter, about 12, who was almost dead. The petition of the suffering father found a ready response in the Lord's love, for He as- sured the heart-broken father that she would live. He went along with him to help bolster up his weak faith. When messengers arrived telling the father to cease troubling the Lord, for his child was dead, Jesus aroused the broken-hearted father’s hopes by His comforting message. He ordered them to quit weeping when He reached the home, turned the mockers out of the house and then demonstrated the power of God by calling the little one to arise. In response to His command her spirit returned to her body and she “arcse and walked.” Faith was rewarded. If we trust Christ, by prayerfully listen- ing to His word and doing His will, our faith will be rewarded, just as Wash- mgtor;'x prayer at Valley Forge was an- swered. Carrying Good Tidings. ‘We ought to b encouraged to follow the example of Washington ond the “good tidings to all people” by recailing the fact that our Lord was supported in His ministry by a group of wemen whose contributions and work helped the Master to do His work. “They min- istered unto Him of their substance.” Throughout His ministry our Lord was dependent upon the ~hospitality of strangers and friends, who showed their appreciation of His work by their deeds of good-will, so that they became fellow workers with Christ Jesus. He discovered the possibilities of women. He knew them as well as He knew men. Seeley declared that “the female sex, in which antiquity saw nothing but in- -ferfority, which Plato considered in- tended to do the same things as the male only not so well, was understood for the first time by Christ.” ‘While en route to the home of Jairus to raise the daughter of the synagogue's official from the dead He realized that some unknown soul had touched Him and been helped. History records the success of many victories won by phy- siclans, who have toiled and risked their lives in mastering epidemics of the black plague, yellow fever, typhoid and many contagious diseases. Luke tells how Christ restored to life not only Jairus’ ‘daughter, but healed a woman who had spent years and a fortune consulting the medical authorities of that day in an effort to obtain health. She was afrald to stop the Lord and ask Him to heal her, but she timidly pushed her way in the crowd until she could touch the hem of His garment, and was instantly made wghole. Her timidity made her hesitate, but when Jesus asked “Who touched Me?” she made a bold confession. The Master tenderly made known unto her that it was her faith, not her touch, that had made her whole. She went away with her soul filled with love, because Jesus had healed her of her chronic disease that had baffled the physicians of that day. Let us join Him in carrying good tidings to all people, for this alone can destroy the dangers of war and promote liberty among all nations.
