Disciples Who Dared.

The misfortune was that they were
wrong in their premise and consequent
~ they were wrong in their conclusion.
They had utterly misconceived the ma
ture of the kingdom of heaven, and they
could have no idea of the means by
which its subjects were advanced TO its
positions Of honor. But they had one
element Of greatness They were heroes
both. They knew not what difficulties
lay along the path that they would tread,
but they knew and they trusted their
Lord. II was a blind faith, but il was
also sublime. That answer to the Mas
ter's question when He had told them
that they knew not what they asked
and when He demanded of them if they
could drink of the cup that He would
drink of. and be baptized with the bap-
tism that he would be baptized with
will ever stand as type of the heroic
and daring. I've are able
1t is quite true that the disciples
did not understand their Lord. The
cup and the baptism of which He spake
were quite other than they supposed.
But they had fully expected that there
would be a conflict The upheaval and
the overthrow of the existing order, they
well knew, could not be accomplished
without "A struggle. And for this they
were prepared. We may remember that
they possess nature so warlfke and
fiery that they were called by Christ
himself '.Thc Sons OF Thunder. Mark.
s:I7o And once when the Samaritans
were unwilling to receive them, these
disciples were ready to call down fire
from heaven to destroy them They
were ready, these disciples, for forced

be demanded by the new position. But
such were not the cup and the baptism

place where We should remember the
warning. that 1.-The last shall be first and
the first shall be last"
The incident might have been closed
here had not the other disciples been
aroused by il to Indignation. To them 1t
seemed that James ard John had some
how obtained an advantage over them.
Had not the Master promised that they
should drink of the same cup and be
baptized with the same baptism with
Himself? Why should they be excluded
from this honor? Doubtless it carried with
it emoluments in which they should
equally share. This made a fuller ex-
PLANTATION necessary upon the part of
Christ.
Calling them to Him He shows the
difference between the earthly and the
heavenly kingdom, and lays down the
rules by which we may attain greatness
i'm the kingdom of God. How complete is
the reversal Of the heavenly from the
earthly. The princes of the Gentiles exer-
else authority over them. and they that
are great exercise dominion over them.
There is in this no condemnation of
earthly government. or of the authority
But in those days. and to a degree in all
days. dominion and authority are in
separately connected with tyranny and
oppression. They mean servitude upon
the part of the people. They imply the
abnegation of rights upon the one hand
and limitless and uncontrolled power on
the other And this was the thought in
the minds of the disciples. It was the
only one with which they were familiar
Through the wide world there had never
been any other standard or code.
But Ii shall not be SO among YOU"
The pyramid is to be reversed. Hereto

after which they are to strive. AS the
Son of Man came not to be ministered
unto. but to minister and give His life

standard. and that is the limit Of serv-
ice. No wonder the disciples of Christ
have been the study Of the church. We
have become familiar with the doctrine.
byrt even yet we are unable to grasp 1t.
Service to all. to the limit of our
strength. and even. If needs be. to the
sacrifice of our life. This Is the lesson
taught by Christ's life and sacrifice The
disciples must wait until they had drunk

His baptism before they could understand
the Masters meaning. Is 1t not SO with
US?

JESUS NEARING JERUSALEM.
Matthew, 20:i1-34.
The Gathering Shadows.

IN his first letter to Timothy 1:l5,,
Paul tells us with much emphasis
that Christ Jesus came into the
world to save sinners" and the
apocalypse represents Christ as a
lamb slain from the foundation of the
world n3:S,. These. and other passages
Of Scriptures, teach us that the entire
scheme of redemption was planned be-
fore ,he first fiat of creation was utter
ed. From this il follows that the con-
seriousness OF Calvary must have rested
upon the heart Of Christ from the first
hour that He awoke to the realization OF
His mission.
Al first II was in the dim distance.
Sure. but far off But now the shadows
were gathering, the tragic hour was
drawing near Next to himself. Christ

Blind Eyes Opened.

After the great lesson that We have
been studying there is but'little time for
this closing miracle. 1t is only one Of
many others which showed the matchless
power and the unfailiness sympathy of
Christ. They were leaving Jericho. Just
outside the gate were two blind men. They
had heard OF this wonderful Healer; and
doubtless they had long hoped that they
might meet Him and by Him be restored
to sight. Hearing now the tramp of the
multitude, and being told that Jesus was
passing by. they began earnestly TO cali
upon Him to have mercy upon them. The
people sought to silence them, but it was
the one opportunity of their lives. and
they cried out the more vehemently,
Have mercy. on us. Jesus bade them
come 10 Him. He knew their need. hut ne
would have them tell their desire. Jesus
had compassion on them; He touched

Conditions of Spiritual Greatness.

Is the desire for spiritual greatness
wrong? supposing that saiome and her
sons had understood the nature of the
kingdom of heaven, would their request
have been contrary to the spirit of the
kingdom? This question cannot be an
severed by a monosyllable. The ambition
to make the most of ones self. to make
stepping stones Of our dead selves to
higher things" is unauestionably of God !;
but the ambition to be chief, to rule over
others. to be regarded by the world as
supreme. is utterly foreign to the spirit
of the gospel. This fact is pointed out by
our Lord; but we must notice first
