BAPTIST CHURCH.
In Jesus answer to the wife of Zebe
dee, and his subsequent talk to the dir
ciples, indignant at the self seeking
spirit manifested in their request to be
gwen the place of honor on Jesus right
and left hand, there was given the
CHRISTIAN world, the law of christian
service. the key note of all true great
ness.
Mat 20 26 %: "Whosoever will be
great among you let him be your minis
ter; even as the Son Of man came rot to
be ministered unto; but to minister and
to give his life ransom for many"
Thus he controverted all the maxims
OF his times. ALI the empires OF the
past, with Rome mistress of the world;
all heather religions doctrines and
castles; all pagan PHILOSOPHY, had been
teaching the world that the great desl-
deratum; the highest honor, lay in being
served. How beautifully shines this
teaching; from out the darkness of
eighteen centuries ago it cut c.san off,
the nerve of selishness.
Three things show conclusively that
this law of service ls obligatory: (a) 1t is
| the plain positive instruction OF Jesus
| (b) Christ's plan for saving the world as
exemplitied by his life sustain it. &c
His followers are to be his colaborers.
They, like him are to, 'go," disciple,
serve.
| This law carried out into christian
living does not do away With serving, 1T
rather insures that all shall be served,
even ourselves.
The practical application OF this law
to christian life, forbids thinking that
christian service consists simply in Sun
day sanctuary going; in family worship
on Sunday; or in giving one tenth. 1t is
"daily taking up" crosses. And this not
as matter Of obligation or of duty, but
from love of God and man. 1t means
16 ounces to the pound; 36 inches TO the
yard; paying 100 cents on the dollar, in
short, honesty, purity, charity, sym
pathy, loyalty to God and man in action.
It settles the question of occupation;
| i. Q. only such as will benefit both others
and ourselves; Of ofamusements, only such
as are mot calculated to tempt the
weaker brother. Such services result in
gfonth, spiritually, Intellectually,
physically. 1t lifts the world up to
| wards God.
Strange, isn't it, that Christians should
offer and urge every excuse for not
doing service 80 beneficial, SO much
needed. That pastors, Sunday school
superintendents, leaders in >womens
work for Jesus should SO often be cast
down and discouraged by refusals to
serve. Let us resolve that we will be
like our master, who, "came not to be
| ministered unto but to minister. Sc
shall the world be blessed by OIL
fChristian living. and dur, memory shall
be blessed"
