deeply needed by the world today.
The first witness shall be the Prophet
Isaiah as in the fifty-third chapter of his
prophecy. as we have it. he points with
unerring finger to the nature and work
of the coming Messiah. Nowhere in
prophecy is there fuller setting forth
of that which is to be than Is found IN
this chapter. and nowhere is Gods word

gressions'' and bruised for our iniqui-
ties our peace Is born of His "chas-

The second witness is as reliable in his
sphere as is Isaiah in the realm of
prophecy. He is a sane and trustworthy
centurion, probably chosen because of un-
usual ability to handle the Infatuated
enemies of Christ. HIS testimony Is born
not of spiritual iexaltation or prophetic
insight. but of his plain observation of
Jesus dying love, and the disturbances OF
nature which accompanied the cructixion.

When we come to speak Of loyalty to

seems clear enough in the light Of nine

message of Divine love- Love that
cared enough for erring man to make
that mans redemption the paramount
business of heaven and God. All other
messages OF time are as nothing COM
pared to this one Of Dying love-
From the first moment Of mans turn
ing away from God and righteousness,
Jesus knew that finally He must die for
man; and when He came to teach His
wondrous doctrine of forgiveness and
loving sacrifice. there was only one ques-

In the service and exercise of prayer.
which is communion with God, we come
to know the meaning of our stewardship,
and cheerfully, joyously accept the doc
trine of giving to the Lord that which for
a time He has committed to our care.
1t is the praying Christian who is al
ways ready to give time. talents, money
and energy to Christ's service.
1t is through the prayers and conse-
Grated gifts of the church that the ra-
dance from the cross sheds its Hfe-g1ving
beams into the darkened corners or the
world.
The thought of the consecrated heart
is that

just as admirable for the preSent-day
citizen of Washington, D. c.. as it was in
David's time for the despotic government
Of a nation.
1t is worthy of note that the wording of
most current New Year resolutions differ
from that of the 1O1st Psalm in that while
the former tells what the signer is not
going to do for the coming year, the lat
ter recounts what is to be done. Too
many men nowadays pledge themselves
not to swear, not to lie, not to give them
selves over to vice, not to do this, that
and the other.
David, on the other hand tells just ex-
actly what he is going to do. Il will be-

set no wicked thing before mine eyes.

Ministry.

Jesus, with the exception of a few years
during His infancy, spent His life prepar-
ing for His ministry and commenced and
confined His work as teacher and dOer Of
deeds of love and mercy up to the Caper-
naum crisis to those provinces. which
could alone be reckoned as the land of
the old theocracy. He inaugurated His
ministry i'm Judea, gathered a group Of
disciples that were more numerous than
those of John, and departed for Galilee
after His rejection by the authorities of
the nation. The Masters ministry i'm the
eastern part Of Galilee, the more JudaiZed
portion, came to an end. after continuing
over two years. because Jesus failed to
meet the Jewish expectations Of Messiah.
Two prophesies were thus fulfilled. for
1.-The land of Zabulon and the land of
Nepthali,'' foretold In the Christmas les
son that we studied from Isaiah. were
blest with the glory of great light, and
as a result of over two and half years
ministry in Judea and Galilee Jesus was
"despised and rejected Of men,"
The changed aspect Of Christs ministry
occurred after the second lesson. when
the final break between our Lord and
the prosecuting Pharisees. priests and
politicians came as result of the Mas
ter's exposure of their hypocrisy during
the ceremonial cleansing controversy
when Jesus proclaimed the doctrine OF
religious liberty. He had prepared His
disciples for that event by His miraculous
appearance. coming to them in the stress
of the storm, demonstrating His love by
the succor that He brought and His power
by the deliverance that He wrought.
teaching them that Christ is never
really absent from His people and that
He would never desert them to the enemy.
1t was their fidelity to Jesus that gave
Him encouragement to change His min
istry by going among the heather with
His message.

But as we stand amid Christian nations,
which control the whole earth, and see
the cross as a worldwide emblem of
sacrificial love, we know that He could
not have finished His work without that
shameful death and passion which seemed
so strangely out of place to them.

David's manner of speaking is the eX-
preston of a wise psychology. \ man

things is pledging himself to mere life

out the New Year resolutions of reform
is to determine to supplant bad deeds
with good ones. Just as the pledge to re-

open to the attacks of sin, so the purpose
to develop the good in himself makes him
the aggressor against sin. Let every
Young man realize that the greater

problems.
Our fifth lesson brought us back to tho
scenes of former service. where the COM
bine sought to prevent Christ from har-
ing another popular hearing by their ma
licious proposals that Christ refused tn
grant, and rebuked them. Jesus took
advantage or the disciples failure to grasp
His message by a series of tactful ques-
lions that stirred their sluggish minds
and prepared them for the great ques-
ton that He asked at Caserea Phillip
Here He put the class that He had been

that tested their faith I'm the character
of their teacher.
Christianity differs from all other re-
ligions i'm that ii rises or falls with the
character of its founder. The disciples
had frequently wondered what sort OF

tate to reply to the Masters question

try of Jesus had succeeded, for the truth
of His greatness had dawned upon them.
From the ranks of Judaism that had
lost the power to appreciate moral value
Christ had trained a group OF men TO
appreciate spiritual values, to behold III
His human life the hidden deity.
Jesus, however. realized the weakness
of the apostolic band to undertake the
task of building up His kingdom. so He
commenced to teach them the message OF
the cross The necessity for the Masters
suffering and death caused check TO
their faith The two ideas of divine mes
siahship and death at the hands OF the
national leaders were irreconcilable, uhtil
after three of the apostolic band had re-

Methods would have to be changed. but

of PRAYER and faith was taught when the
Master returned from the Mount OF

that we have been studying has been one
of Christs humiliation, and also of His

Him as He set His face toward Jeru-

words of our golden text for the quarter.
The Masters teaching in the temple
brought a demand that He tell by what
authority He taught. as He was a la
man, without any letters or ordination OF
commentator from any of the great
teachers of theology. Jesus answered
their request for His authority, by the
claim that My teaching is not mine. but

the test by which all men could determine
