The plans of Jesus TO establish a king
dom spiritual in its nature and universal
in its sphere of influence awaited The still
larger revelation Of their Masters pas
sion. The parabolic teaching that marked
the change in Christ's methods that We
studied in four lessons outlined the pro-
gram Of the kingdom. During his Visit
to Nazareth Jesus proclaimed the pro-
gram of Christianity. He clothed in ia
miliar stories the message that concealed
the truth from His foes. but opened to
His followers. who appreciated spiritual
truths. the mysteries OF the kingdom
The seed i'm the four soils illustrated the
truth contained In our Golden Text The
words that 1 have spoken unto you are
spirit and are life.
This first parable Of His seaside minis
try revealed the source Of the Kingdom
to be the words of Jesus. but the power
of His gospel depended upon it's recep-
ton by the people for its development,
He depicted in the prophetic picture or
the growth of the kingdom that revealed
the naturalness of religion. the laws that
mark its expansion, which are found
working in the rural life that are familiar

ing them, and tl.Ose who quit because
of the shock of disappointment at the
ingratitude of others are no better than
those who turn back because there are
a few giants in the promised land.
1t was from the hour of such disap-
pointment that Jesus turned His feet to-
ward Calvary. Gethsemane seems less
keen to Him than if He had turned from
an enthusiastic following Of faithful
friends to seek its lonely shades. He had
not turned back in the keenness Of His
disappointment and loneliness; now He
goes on to triumph and to heaven.

This shock of disappointment" came
10 Jesus at the hour when the multitude
which He had just fed turned away from
iiim because He said: 'Ye seek me, not
because ye saw the miracles, but be-
cause ye did eat of the loaves and were
fed. Labor not for the meat which per-
isheth but for that meat which endureth
unto everlasting life" 1t was then that
they began To demand "a sign''-some
mrace-as though their personal life
would be better for seeing some wonders
wrought by Him. From that hour He
saw His popularity pass. and, pouring
forth His message of saving truth, He
started toward the cross.
Two thoughts come to us as we read
these Scriptures and try in some measure
t. fathom the depths of HIS disappoint-
ment.
J. THE LONELINESS OF LEADER
SHIP.
As We look down the long vistas of his
tory and note the towering characters
of those who have been leaders in its
great reforms, its teachers. prophets and
warriors against oppression, how lonely
they seem, Abraham stands outside the
gates of Sodom, pleading, alone. with
God for that doomed town. Moses tolls
mp the Mountain of the Law, alone, and
coming down, finds Israel gone astray
lie pleads for them, alone with God; and
during all those weary years OF wider
ness wandering how often do we see his
giant soul STEPPED in the mists OF soli-
tude. Nehemiah rides lonely round the
ruins of Jerusalem. laying his plans with
prayer. Elijah stands alone on Carmel: I:
Daniel sleeps solitary in that lions den,
John cries with lonely voice at Beth
abara. and VINO may paint the loneliness
OF Gethsemane and Calvary? John is
alone on Patmos. and Paul is often
Truth lone champion.
They were quite alone, except that God
was with them. and the high conscious
ness that what they did they did for Him
and for their felow-man. Yet how keen
the sense of base ingratitude. how sharp
the shock of disappointment, at the
thought that they must tread the wine

made the sacrifice thronged needless by.

But if the shock of disappointment Is

turn to Him for comfort and support
finding the comfort which else We had

This shock Of disappointment Is the su
preme test Of high purpose. 1t is Al
this very point that so many who have
started out, bravely enough II seemed
turn back to spend their after lives In
misanthropic outcry against the thank
