Golden text — “Christ Jesus came Into the world to save sin- ners.”—I Timothy, 1.15. John In writing his gospel evidently designed balancing and alternating the emphasis with which he presented the ministry of our Lord in His relation to individuals and groups. Last week we considered the Master's conversation with the scholarly, spiritual leader and this week our lesson calls for us to con- sider His wayside ministry with the woman of Samaria, whose moral nature had passed through a process of disin- tegration because of her sin. Jesus had reached a turning point in His career, leaving His work in Judea, where the Pharisees had learned through their spies that the Master's ministry was resulting in larger numbers being baptized than under the work of John the Baptist. It was also about the time that the forerunner had been imprison- ed, when the Christ turned back to Galilee to face the dangers of preach- ing in the domain of Herod, and com- forting the disciples of John, whose thrilling message He had taken up, call- ing upon the people to repent for the Kingdom of God was at hand. Moved by the urge of the Spirit, Jesus | decided to take the direct route that‘ carried Him and His disciples through Samaria. Tired and wearied from the journey, the Lord decided to rest at Jacob's well, while His disciples went into & nearby community to secure food. It was noon time, when He heard the foot- steps of a woman approaching the well | that Jacob had dug so that he Would‘ not be drawn into conflict with other shepherds over the problem of se(‘urmg’ water. He had cut down through the | rock over a hundred feet. The well is | not so deep today, because stones have | been dropped into its waters through- | out the centuries. It is one place where | we can be reasonably sure we are at a historical point connected with Chr\sl's‘ ministry, when we reach this well or spring. There our Lord revealed the evidence of His humanity and His love for souls. It was a Samaritan woman that approached the well. Jesus recog- nized her character and surprised her by his request that she give Him a drink of water. The bitter racial spirit was of centuries' standing, dating back to the time when the leaders had been taken captive and the Babylonian ruler had colonized the section with people from other parts of his empire. Inter- marriage between the races had pro- duced a race that refused to accept the psalmists and prophets, clinging to the five books of Moses for their religious guidance. Frequent clashes and differ- ences had increased their racial an- tipathy and antagonism, until the Jews refused to have any dealings with them. | Jesus by His request cast aside the | prejudice of His countrymen and en- | tered upon an effort to save the poor abandoned woman, who had failed be- cause she had loved too much and on | wrong lines. Winning the Lost. Jesus never allowed a chance contact to pass without trying to save that soul. This fact probably explains why we find some of His greatest sayings | recorded in connection with His way- | side ministries. If we are to win the world for our Lord and His Church, we | will find that the most difficult problem that we face, not only in connection with disarmament and conquering the nations of the world for the Prince of Peace, is the one that Jesus faced in dealing with the Samaritan woman. He thought only of her need and decided to minister to her without any reference to the controversies that had marred the relations of her le and His countrymen for centuries. When she tried to arouse the old antagonisms, Jesus refused to be drawn Sunday School Lesson THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1932. Y. Hugh T. Stevenson. into the controversial questions by as- suring her that “If she knew the gift of God, and who it is that askest thee to give Him a drink of water, you would have asked of Him and He would have given thee living water.” She knew the differences between “living water” the waters that had been standing in cisterns. The water that comes from Jacob's well has the coolness and taste | like that of a mountain spring. The | Samaritan woman was surprised at the | Master's statement for she did not sec the evidence that He essed any | means to draw ghe water: probably one | of His disciples had it with him. Christ had aroused her interest and curiosity, | for she asked “How” He could give her | water. She had taken Him literally, when He was using water as a symbol of His personality, When she asked Him to give her the water, s0 that she would not be compelled to visit the well and draw the water, which was no easy task, Jesus revealed that He knew her real needs by telling her to call her husband. That command probed her conscience. Religlous Controversies. ‘The woman shamefully answered | Jesus that she had no husband. Christ | unmasked her lies by agreeing that she did not have a husband, but that she | had lived with five husbands: and the man she was then living with was not her husband. The Master had revealed her sin. She did not deny it, but tried to turn it aside by bringing up the reli- | glous dispute that had helped to in- crease the racial prejudice and antago- | | nism by acknowledging that she recog- nized that Jesus was a prophet, and asked Him to settle the controversy | concerning the place of worship. Christ was a patriotic Jew. He loved Jerusalem with an intense affection for the capital city and the temple. He did not have to decide between the rival claims. The Jews had worshiped in Jerusalem' for a thousand years and the Samaritans had conducted worship upon Gerizim, which was in full view, for about 400 years. Instead of settling the question that had been a subject of difference, Jesus delivered one of the | most startling and revolutionary prin- | ciples of His whole ministry—the doctrine of religious liberty. He pointed I out that worship was not a question of place or ritual, of mountains or temple, | but one of heart and spirit. Because worship was universal and spiritual, He | pointed out that although the Jews had the truth, the hour had come when neither Gerizim nor Jerusalem could claim to be the exclusive place of wor- |ship. It was a universal privilege and | any soul who sought to worship God in | spirit and truth would be welcomed as | 8 true worshipper -by the heavenly Father. Revelation of Messish. When the woman showed a different attitude by pointing out that when the Messiah would come He would teach them the truth, Jesus revealed to her that He was the Messiah. To this abandoned woman Christ revealed Himself in a clear-cut and definite statcment that He was the Messiah. She did not think about her purpose in coming to the well, for immediately she left her water pots, hastened into the nearby community and urged the people to come and see the man who told her all the things she had ever done. She had taken a drink of the living water. She proved her faith in His claims by inviting others to come. They came and believed Him on the evidence that they saw themselves. They came with an open mind and found the Messiah. ‘The Master's joy over the winning of the woman who had failed filled His soul. He did not wish food when the disciples returned and pressed Him to eat. He was thinking of the oppor- tunity of winning the members of a despised and hated people of His king- dom. This refreshment was all that He needed. Every soul-winner will find the same joy, if, like Christ, he seeks to save the lost. | | BENEVOLENT GIFTS WILL BE SOLICITED Opportunity to Be Given Church Members and Friends to Aid Its Work.

Spite Wife By~ | Ann Forester | CHAPTER XXVIL big frame house filled with sun- shine and the rush of the sea, just a memory to Judy. Nick was gone. He had left early on the morning following their homecoming. Judy awoke from sleep to hear the car backing out of the garage to take him to the flying field. She lay there and thought about him in the early morning. Strange . . Jook up at the sky and wonder where Nick was. Something miraculous about Nick flying away like this. A sort of mimic death. Only, of course, Nick would return, flying out of the sky like a silver scale floating between Heaven and earth. But Nick never acted as though it were a miracle. He went at it in his matter-of-fact positive way. That sure, quiet way . . . Nick's way. And she was back here again—hem- | | | lonely.

Her head ached. Her throat felt queer. She pulled a silk robe about her shoulders and sat up in bed watching Stan tie his golf shoes. “But the office . . . I don’t see how you can get away so much.” Stan's eyes narrowed and he threw her an unpleasant glance. “Well, if you want the truth, I walked out on Thatcher and Crosswell two weeks ago. I don't need their lousy commissions!” “Oh, Stan! Why didn't you tell me?” “Because you'd beef so much about it.” Stan stood upright and stretched for his sweater.

Judy sald nothing. Nothing to do when Stan was in this black mood Besides her head hurt when she tried to think. She lay down and did not speak | when he gave her a hasty kiss. “I'll be back, honest—you know Eunice is giv- | ing a party at the end of the week.” Oh, yes—Eunice’s party. . . . Deco- rators and caterers from the city tre details had been chatted over Lock- wood telephones for a month accom- anying trills of jealous feminine aughter. Lying back in the pillows, watching the leaf play of shadows on the ceiling from the garden outside, Judy went over this morning’s scene. So that was why Stan was so savage about Nick. Nick wouldn't let Stan— and Amy and Vera and their mother— touch the principal of the estate. No sweet job, thought Judy with wry humor, managing the Carter estate. Nick, she knew, adored his dead fathe: He must have, to take on that ungrz ful job of executor. Judy’s uncomfortable dip in the ocean had ended in a cold.

Nick—who had brought to her one friend she valued most in Lockwood. A moment when Judy's grave blue eyes looked deep into Mary Lockerbee’s honest gaze. Then Judy had swept false pride and petty pretences aside and spoken out of her own sincere heart. “Nick's done a lot of nice things for me,” she said with a sweet earnestness which made Mary her friend for life, | “but, this is the nicest he's ever done.” That was the pleasant spot of the week. The unpleasant spot came at the end. Eunice Wilson's party was staged for Saturday night. the mistake of going.

The first rains of the season set in and for a week she was a prisoner in the house, wandering aimlessly from room to room, dragging through the endless days with an aching throat and watering eyes. Tony Wentworth—Judy's most in- timate friend in Lockwood, if the ad- jective could be applied to such a casual friendship—telephoned her re- grets—but Tony stayed away. Tony needed the excitement of bridge lunch- eons and dinner parties. A rainy after- noon with a sick friend held no allure. Mary Lockerbee, on the other hand, came and stayed almost until the din- ner hour. Judy had always admired the older woman, but she was a trifle ill at ease with her. Handsome, prac- tical Mary Lockerbee lacked the sooth- ing sirup of social flattery. Beside the more unctuous manners of feminine Lockwood, her manners seemed almost brusque, but Judy had always discerned her sincerity. On this rainy afternoon, seated on either side of the grate fireplace in the library, she discovered further qualities about Mary. A love and knowledge of books which Judy herself possessed. Not the current, wise- cracking book which happened to be the vogue of the moment around the bridge tables and country club veranda, but mellow, unfashionable books one did not talk about—the letters of Charles Lamb—Dicken's novels—Keat's poems—Kipling's_“Plain Tales"—Gib- bons’ “Rise and Fall.” Judy’s throat forgot to hurt. She forgot the lonely chill in her heart. A quiet afternoon, cozy with the fire within and the rain without—an after- noon magic with quiet friendship and the enchantment of books. Judy had known Mary Lockerbee before—had reached a certain casual friendship at teas or bridge luncheons, but it was not like this—eagerly inter- rupting each other with: “Oh, do you remember——?" Or “Have you ever read—?" It was almost dinner time when Mary rose to go with evident reluctance. “I'll have to thank Nick and tell him I've had the most pleasant afternoon in years—" she sald as she reached for her hat. “Nick?” Mary blushed in confusion. “What a dumbbell I am! Well, I might as well own up—Nick dropped by the house the morning he left and asked me to run in.
