o'clock by singing, II Will Tell The
Wondrous Story" after which prayer
was offered by Jas. R. Jones.
Prof. Albert Russell then gave the
fourth of his lectures on the Life of
Christ; The Public Ministry of
Chrust. Prof. Russell said the begin
ming Of Christ's ministry began with
the calling of the four disciples and
continued to grow. From among all
these, latter a night of prayer he Sc
lected twelve of these disciples for
| special work. These are known as
Apostles. These were divided into
four groups. Peter was spokesman
and leader Of the twelve Apostles. Jul
das was treasurer Of the company and
1t is more than probable that he ex-
pected to become first Lord of the
treasury when Jesus set up his earthly
kingdom and when he found that
Jesus was not going to set up this
earthly kingdom he decided to sell
out as dearly as possible.
Jesus work may be summed up as
thorough organization and definite
work. Jesus did not despise the hired
ministry for he said, "The laborer is
worthy Of his hire'' Jesus reached
the climax of his popularity when the
multitude offered him the crown. AT
ter this his public ministry began to
wane and the Pharisees were deter
mined to kill him. Only as long as he
was able to keep from the Pharisees
was he able to continue his preach
Ling. At THIS time most of the popu-
lace and his disciples had fallen away
from Him.
Jesus now returned to the Galilean
country, commenced His healings. La
ter he embarked and crossed Galilee
to the south shore and while here he
probably made his journey to Jeru-
salem.
1t was here at Jerusalem that he
healed the blind man He was at
tackled for working on Sunday and
defended his action on the grounds
that God works on the Sabbath. He
called the attention Of the Jews to
the fact that they performed the oper-
alton circumcision on the Sabbath.
Here Jesus saw that the Jews had
forsaken him.
Jesus and his disciples now crossed
the lake of Galilee to the north and
while on this trip warned the desci-
Piles against the Pharisees. Jesus now
moved on into the territory of Philip
and here he seems to first realize that
HIS work would only end with his
death.
Havinb become assured Of faith
fulness of His disciples he now told
them that he must go up to Jerusa-
lem and be rejected and that He
must die and after three DAYS rise
again.
His disciples were now prepared.
They could not conceive of Messiah
that must die but a triumphal one.
They could conceive of an earthly
Messiah who would WIN His people by
love.
Jesus hoped that he might be spar
ed the pain of being rejected by his
people and that they should be spared
the sin Of rejecting Him. For week
Jesusc ontinued to impress His disci-
pies of His death. But they did not
seem found erstand the resurrection
having an idea that Jesus would come
on the great resurrection day.
Jesus now took three of His disci-
pes and went up on Mt. Hemon.
They spent the night there and re-
turned the following day. Jesus charg-
ing the disciples not to disclose the
visions seen there. The time of feasts
had now arrived and at first Jesus de-
clded not to go up to the feast, but
after the disciples had gone He de-
cided that He must 60 as it was Gods
will. So He suddenly went up to the
temple and thought.
During this ministry Jesus had
spent large portion of His sme in
the preparation of His disciples. His
work was now done.
The session Of the institute opened
by singing one verse of "There is
Sunshine in My Soul.'' Graham Tay-
Tor of Chicago was then introduced
and spoke on "The Industrial Crisis
of Christianity" Mr.. Taylor said:
