Subject: Jesus at the Pool of Beth esda, John 5:1-18 — Golden Text, Matt, 8:17 — Commit Verses 8, 9—Commentary. TIME.—April, A. D. 28. PLACE. ^-“Pool of Bethesda, Jerusalem. EXPOSITION.—I. In Need of the Great Physician, 1-5. It was an oc casion of great rejoicing that took Jesus up to Jerusalem, but there was no joy in it for those whom the open ing of the chapter pictures to us. There is not much real jov in any feast without Christ in it. The com ing of Christ brought joy to at least one miserable man. Jesus went up to the feast because this was the re quirement of the Jewish law (Ex. 34:23; cf. Gal. 4:4). It was a wretched company that was gathered around this pool, this “multitude of them that were blind,halt, withered,” a picture of the multitudes of this world. Men soon found out that the best place to bring these afflicted ones was to Jesus Himself (Matt. 15:30). Wretched men sought the pool, but Jesus first seeks the men. Apparent ly the most miserable and helpless and hopeless case present was the one that Jesus specially noticed and helped. He had been there often (v. .7), and his case seemed to be beyond all hope; but it was not beyond hope because there is nothing too hard for the Lord (Gen. 18:14; Jer. 32:17). II. Made Whole by thoGrcat Phy sician, 6-9. Jesus saw this man in his wretched and hopeless condition. He always sees men in their wretch edness, helplessness and hopelessness. He was at once moved with compas sion (cf. Matt. 14:14). Jesus al- , ways has that feeling as He looks 1 upon the sufferings and misfortunes oi man meD. 13:8; 4:15, 16; Isa. 63:9). The fact that he had been a long time in his wretchedness espe cially awakened the sympathy of Jesus. The fact that any sinner has been in his present evil case for a long time is no reason for supposing Jesus will not take an interest in him, save, or help, or heal him, but a reason for supposing that He will take a special interest in him (Mark 9:21; Luke 8:43; Acts 3:2; cf. 4:22; 9:43; 14:8). Jesus apparently se lected this man from all the sad cases at the pool because it was the saddest and most hopeless case of all. He de lights in the hopeless cases. The question that Jesus put to the man (v. 6) implies that our being made whole depends upon our will. Jesus is ever willing and able. The only question is, are wre willing (Rev. 22:17). The only reason why any man does not obtain life in Christ is because He will not come to Him (John 5:40). To every one of us Jesus puts the question to-day, “Wilt thou be made whole?” Jesus does not ask the man if he would be made better but if he would be made wrhole. The trouble with the average sinner is that he wishes to be made better, but is not willing to be made w'hole. This man could not make himself whole. The man must first recognize how dire, was his need7 so it is with the sinner. The only way of being i made whole of which this man had any thought w^as through the efficacy of the healing waters of the pool, but Jesus spoke a wrord and by the power of that word he was healed. He must be divine in whose word there is so much power (Ps. 107:20). There is power in the word of Christ to-day to save all who will believe it (Rom. 1:16). All one has to do to live is to hear and believe (John 5:24). The cure was not only complete but in stantaneous (cf. Mark 1:31, 42; 5:29, 41, 42; 10:52; Acts 3:7, 8). III. Confessing the Great Physi cian, 10-15. The man used his Christ-given strength by doing what the Lord Jesus told him to do, but he found opposition in doing as Jesus oaae mm. bo will every one that obeys Jesus (2 Tim. 3:12). The ob jection raised was that he was trans gressing the Jewish law. His all sufficient answer was, “He that hath made me whole, the same saith unto me, etc.” It is a sufficient answer to any objection. The strength that Jesus gives us should be used in obedience to Him. The man did not tell them yet who had made him whole, because he did not know him self, but as soon as he found out who it was he told them without fear. He did not wait for them even to ask him. He himself sought an oppor tunity for witnessing. As soon as we know who it is that has blessed us, we ought to confess Him (Rom. 10:10; Matt. 10:32, 33). It took courage to confess Jesus to these men. The man did it because his heart was so full that his mouth must speak (Matt. 12:34). One truly saved cannot keep it to himself. Jesus found the man after He had healed him in the temple. Jesus ought often to find us in the house of God, after He has blessed us. Jesus’ counsel to the man, and to all whom He heals, is worthy of earnest medita tion, “Sin no more.” Evidently sin was the cause of this man’s p ’evious suffering, and Jesus to-day is ready to heal the misfortunes which are the result of our own sinning. If after He has healed us of the sorrows which ;tre the result of our sinning we go back to our sinning again a worse thing will befall us (v. 14). The Jews gave more thought to Jesus’ disregard of their traditions than they did to His goodness toward an unfortunate man. Many to-day so disregard their traditions that they quite overlook the beneficent, work God does through him. The hatred of the Jews toward Jesus for His dis regard of their tradition in perform** ing a good deed to the impotent man on the Sabbath went so far that they sought to kill Him (v. 18). We have not settled many of the problems of life, laments the Dallas News. In a vast majority of cases it has not been even determined just who shall wear the breeches. ■ « »• .— Briarwood is said to be very scare, notes the Omaha Bee, but so long as the supply of old apple trees holds out no smoker need be without a briar wood pipe.

The only departure we shall make from medical ethics in the conduct of Peruna affairs in the fixture, is the fact that we shall continue to advertise and sell our product TO THE PEOPLE. If we would agree to sell to doctors only, to advertise for doctors only, then the medical fraternity would be obliged to recognize Peruna as being entirely within their approval.

We shall continue to supply the people with free literature, teaching them how to use our medicine, teaching them how to avoid disease, teaching them many things of benefit to the home. We shall continue to do this, whether the medical profession like it or not. We are proposing from this time on to take the public into our confidence. Notwithstanding that some imitators and substitutes will be attempting to put up something which they consider just as good as Peruna, we are going to draw aside the veil of secrecy and allow any one who chooses to know exactlv OF WHAT PERUNA IS COMPOSED.
