STEWART Deep aorrow pervaded the elegant home of Jairus. the proud ruler of the synagogue in Capernaum. Jairus' little 1 2-year-old daughter, his only daughter, lay near death.

In anguish he and his wife sat at the dying child's bedside in the darkened room. All their prayers and effort to heal her had proved futile. Helplessly they watched as she grew weaker and weaker." They had given up hope. Suddenly they heard a noise in the street, aa of large throng of people approaching. A servant whispered that it was Jesus, the Nazarene, with His disciple, passing through th city.

Jesas, the Feared and despised try Jairus and all the priestly class throughout Israel, who were Jealous of his great popularity with the masses, and fearful of their own future unless some way could be found to put a stop to Him. Jairus' face hardened. True, he could find no real fauk with the teachings or conduct of the Nazarene. True, too, whatever He was, Jesus did have great power of healing. This Jairus knew of a certainty.

He looked down his little daughter, breathing her last. Only for a moment did he wrestle with his pride. Quickly he left the room ami dashed into the street, his robes flying 41 bis sandaled feet pounded along the cobbled stone. Urgently, desperately he pushed hit way through the multitude that surrounded Jesus. Dropping to his knees at the feet of the Master.

Jairus implored, "My little daughter lieth at the point of death. I pray Thee, come and lay Thy hands on her, (hat she may be healed; and she shall live." In compassion Jesus agreed to go with him. But as they eared his house, a servant came running out and told Jainu It-was too late, his daughter was dead. Jesus looked at the proud ruler, his head now in grief. "Be not afraid," He said, "only believe." They proceeded on to the house, where the servants and others were already making a great tumult with their loud weeping and wailing.

"Why make ye this ado?" asked "The girl is not dead, but sleeps." The hired mourners laughed him to scorn. So Jesus put them out of the house. Then, with Jairus and his wife, and Peter, James and John, Jesus entered the grrl's room. Gently He took her by the hand. "Damsel.

I say unto thee, arise." To the overwhelming joy of Jairus and his wife, their little daughter opened her eyes, and got up from her bed, alive and well.
