Ok tf the Pharisees.
Four times In the story refer-
ence is mode to the feet that
Jesus' host was a Pharisee. Luke
makes s point of It tor at least
two reasons: It reseated the In-
quisitive half-friendly attitude of
some Pharisees, and Jesus’ readl-
to dine with publicans and
ainnere. Luke gives two other in-
stances of Jesus dining with Phar-
isees (lljlf and M:l). “Set down
to meat”, literally reclined. It is
literally reclined. It la nsceamry
to keep this custom of reclining
at the table In mind If wa are to
understand how tha women could
stand "behind at hla feet,” versa
Hi, and Janus turning to look ot
her. One reclined on o low cuuoh
extending book from the table,
resting on bis left side and el-
bow, thus leafing tha right haiitfl
free to sat with. This cuetotu ex-
plains also Johu'a leaning took
upon tha Ha flour's bosom at the
last supper. "A woman in the city,

oatas that aha was wen known as
a woman living In eln, such aa
would to spoken of today aa a wo-
man of the streets. We do not
know what other contact ahe had
had with Jaaua, hut evidently eho
had heard and believed and found
pesos in hla gracious smile.
A Friend of PuMleans and Sinners.
Iu quoting the charges made
against him by his critics, Christ
quoted one that waa hla chief
glory: he waa said by them to to
Mt friend of publicans and sinners''
verse H4. "I do net wish you to
understand that Christ la a friend
to the good and pure alone, nor
to those who are correct In their
deportment, whose virtue walks In
to men's acknowledgement unquee-
tlond. No, I leunch the friendship
of Christ out among you as men
launch a life-boat among a etrug
gling mass of drowning men, and
there la not a hand beating the
briny water, awarth or white, tlmt
may not selie It; and there la not
a sinking soul that may not ap-
propriate the friendship of the
Lonl.”—William U. U, Murrey.
Thla glory of our Master should
beome the glory of hla church—
is the glory of any ebur'-h that
has caught hla vplrit and is true

The new Ford
an
economical car

THE NEW Ford is a splendid car to own and drive
because of its attractive lines and colors, safety, com-
fort, spend, reliability and long life.
Thar® are, in addition, three other features of
iaaportanee to every far seeing automobile owner .. •
low first cost, low cost of operation and up-keep, and
yearly depreciation.
During tho life of the ear, the day-by-day economy
of owning a Ford will amount to considerably more
than the earing on the first cost. You save when you
buy the Ford and you ear# every mile you drive.
The reasons for thio economy are simplicity of
high quality of materials and care in manu-
facturing and asaemhling. Many eital parte are made
to lixaita of one ooe-thouaandth of an inch. Some to
three ton-thousand tha of an inch. Throughout, tha
new Ford le an ou to landing example of fine crafta-
aut erne bile engineering.

A Man Who Loved Little,
Huch a tiuui was Hkuon the Phar-
lace. It wna cuetouutry In that day
and land to greet the gucata with
the tokens of affiH-tlou, to have a
servant, or even on self, to wash
the dust from ttolr tired feet,
and to give them a fragrant oint-
ment for their hair. Hut all these
things Hliuon omitted. With de-
liberate and stinging words Jesus
had to auy to hhu: "Thou gavasi
me no water for my feet . . Thou
gavost me no klm . . My head
with oil thou dldat not anoint,”
He loved little. It le not ao much
what men do aa what they fell
to do that reveals the heart We
may profess to he friends of Jeaua
and share onf tables with him,
hut if there be little love be will
know It through our failures to
do what genuine love never omits.
He searches the heart. He aecka
our love. He Is not asking for
men’a endorsement, he seeks no
social recognition, be la not flat-
tered by our patronage. What be
wanta is love and the tokena of
love. And at the table of Him on
be did not And them. Hlmon loved
little.
A Woman Who Loved Much.
The dinner had in it pro* ceded
far when one came In who loved
much. It was the unfortunate und
despised woman, known In the city
as a "rtlnfu! woman”. If not a har-
lot In a public house she was one
whom everybody knew atiout und
whose unsavory rcjKjt.itIon afford-
ed foul-inouthed gossips many a
pleasant hour. It was site who
slipped in without an Invitation
and went immediately to Jesus.
Hhe had in her hHiid an alabaster
<-nise of ointment, such as might
he presented to a king. Evidently
idie was going to anoiut hla feet,
hut as she stooped down a flood
of tears rolled down her cheeks
and dropped upon his feet. Hhe
readied I sick and {Milled her flow-'
lng hair around to use a* a towel
and as she dried them ahe kissed
hie feet over and over again. Hhe
loved much.
Jesus’ Marvellous Insight.
Jesus did not Interrupt the wor-
ship of the woman—at which the
Pharisee -was greatly shocked. This
was a woman of the streeis. Per-
haps he had crossed the street to
avoid her many times. Hhe was an
intruder at the feast. And yet
Jesus ja-ruiitted her trllrute of de-
votion without remonstrance. He
missed altogether what Jesus saw.
and said to himself, "Well, I know
now that this man Is no prophet.
If he were he would know the
kind ef woman this is." He waa
wrong a tou t both the w«iman mid
Jesus. He thought of the woman
as one to be rebuffed ami avoid-
ed. Jesus saw her heart hating her
old sin, awl «*omlng to him for
grace, awl now paying tdlhute to
his mercy.
The Two Debtors.
We notice the coHtrust Is-! ween
Jesus and Hliuon. Jesus noticed the
j*ontrast tot ween Hliuon and the
woman in relation ts» himself. Hl-
mon omitted all tile tokens «rf
loye, was «u|M>rlor and critical;
the woman multiplied the tokens

“History tells ua that the Are

akhes were cairrled away, unsus-
pected veins of silver. ... It la
as If Hlmon had looked upon thla
sinning woman’s life aa upon a
garden filled with weeds, thorns
and thistles, while the Lord of
the garden, with all-ecelng eye,
Pierced through the crust and saw
beneath the soil with Its mire-,
hidden veins of gold and crystals
waiting to to cut Into diamond*—
as If all flashing rubles and sap-
phires were waiting to to uncov-
ered."—Newell Iiwlght HHHm,
“Him sat and wept, and with her
untroMH<<d hair
HUH wljied the feet she w«n m
blessed to touch;
And he wiped off the soiling of
despair
From her sweet soul, because she
loved so much,
I am a sinner full of doubts and
fears;
Make me a humble Udng of love |
and teara.”—Hartley Coleridge.'

Natural
Gas
A plentiful, dependable supply of
Natural Gas-the cheapest industrial
fuel available anywhere. Taking the
country over, there are comparatively
few places that can offer natural gas
—SO it is a real advantage.
To attract industries—it means a
steady growth for the community,
more people, more huainesa, more pros-
perity, increased property values.
And, not to be overlooked, is the
convenience, cleanliness ami cheap-
ness of Natural Gas used in >»ur
home for besting and cooking.
