mind you how he bore with patience
and meekness all the rebuffs of enemies,
all the falseness of friends, all he
harsh ridicule of those of his W blood
and kin. From the day that Nathaniel
inquired if any good thing could come
out of Nazareth to that dark Friday al
ternoon, when, as he hung on the cross,
the insulting multitude wagged their
heads and said, He saved others, him
self he cannot save" Jesus life was one
of every day toll, prayer, suffering, sac
rifce, service for others. Considered
merely as a man, he stands without a
peer. The world has never had an
other example even approaching this
man of Galilee. Worshipped as a God,
the wonder is all the greater. Scion OF
the house of David, only begotten son
of God, heir to both earthly and heaV-
emily thrones, he had no place TO lay his
head, no home to call his own, no prop
erty held in fee simple, no worldly pros
pect. Yes, giving himself UP wholly to
his divine mission, realizing that, as a
universal Saviour, all the men and wo-
men of all the races, all chimes, all con-
ditions, were henceforth to be his fam
ilv. his friends, he gave up the most
precious relationships the universe has
ever known when, refusing to obey the
call of his mother and brothers, he look
ed around on his followers and said:
Behold my mother and my brethren!
In those last hours of his earthly life
he might have prayed to his father and
the father would presently have sent
twelve legions of angels; but Jesus pray
ed alone in Gethsemane after all his
disciples forsook him and fled.

And he who endured the sufferings
and despised the shame; he who bore

Xxx :27, 28.
1t takes the world a long time to
grasp the full import of a new phil
osophy. Scientific discoveries, inven-
tons, new modes of living, pioneering
in the wilderness of frontier countries
all these are accepted, believed in, un-
derstood. But the man who comes
preaching a new gospel, teaching a new
system of ethics, introducing a new
p~hilosophy-such a man is mlsunder-
stood, even in the house of his most
intimate friends, and those who follow
him most closely frequently become pos
sessed of the most exaggerated notions
as to that which he is promulgating.
When Jesus Christ started his new
religion; when he called about him the
twelve and began to teach them the bas-
ic principles of what the world o
knows as Christianity, he met with op-
position, ridicule and persecution. Three
wears of this he endured, then found the
elimination of it in his death on the
cross.
1t was to have been expected that he
should be rebuffed, reviled and reject
ed. for, since the world began, it has
been the fashion of mankind so to treat
the prophets. In this respect, in spite
of our centuries of progress in religion,
civilization and culture, we are still at
it: and Jesus completely overturned the
old and substituted therefor the new.
His doctrines ard practices were SO
revolutionary, SO out of harmony with
that which the world then believed, SO
may | say it reverently-so Haunting,
so unconventional, that it is no wonder
the Pharisees were so indignant. the
scribes were so Jealous i'll persecution
and the whole Jewish nation so sur
prised.
But, in any case, one would think one
had a right to expect from the most
intimate followers of Jesus a cordial
reception, a ready cooperation, a com
plete understanding. Should not Peter,
James ana JOHl, eSpeCldly-lhCy u lhC
inner ~circle-should not these three have
understood what their great Teacher
meant?
That they did not, however, approx
innate to the great vital, fundamental
truths of his new religion is apparent
on every page of the four gospels. Ev-
cry time the Master talked with them,
it seems, he had to explain something,
to rectify misconceptions, to dispense a
cloud of misunderstanding.
Just now, two of those in the inner
circle are disputing as to who should
be greatest in Christ's kingdom, even
as Jesus is concluding his talk about his
approaching condemnation and death.

Nobility of Service
By J. H. LARIMoRE.

DO yS Sill lOOh III a lSiipoAoi mis-
dom wherein one shall sit on the right
hand and the other on the left of the
King of the Jews? Listen, then, to his
gentle rebuke: (Text).
Nineteen centuries have passed since
Jesus uttered these words and still he is
misunderstood i'll the house of his
friends. His gospel is m~isapplied and
his church misdirected. Shall we blame
James and John because they, ignorant
peasants of Galilee, in their dim and
darkened day, did not fully compre-
bend? And, blaming them, shall our
w cheeks be free from the blush of
shame?
Often do we near IN these latter days
that the world is in need of plain, prac-
teal preaching of a plain, practical Cos
pei, and, if this be true, we must come
to emphasize the foundation principles
of our holy Christianity. We must
come the more clearly to see the very
life and essence of our religion as the
Founder lived and taught it. Doing so
we shall find that Love is the whole
structure of it and that Love is mani
fest only in service and sacrifice.
Indeed, this is the mark of divergence
between the religion of Jesus and all
other religions or moral systems. The
Grecian mythology, the Chaldean, Egyp-
ton. Confucian and other systems hold
no such element, nor, indeed, do the
n~inety-and-nine non-Christian beliefs of
modern times. The gods of the heather
were to be propitiated, their anger
turned aside the systems of modern
times teach the salvation of oneself
through the doing of certain things and
the refraining re do of certain others.
Even the Hebrew religion was lacking
in those ~all-important essent1als-ser-
vice and sacrifice for others. One
brought bulls, goats and doves for the
cleansing of himself and his family.
The ancient Jew was taught, indeed, to
be just to his neighbors, to be merciful,
under certain considerations, but the
law of service as Christ enunciated it
was not known to him. All the rel1g-
ions of the world, ancient and modern,
have told of mans relationship and
duty to the gods, but have been silent as
to his duty and relationship to his fell
lowmen. 1t remained for Jesus to
preach the doctrine that there are two
great commandments, thou shalt, etc.
Service acceptable to God through ser
vice to ones fellows, is. then, the key
note of the gospel. That idea was en-
bodied in the life of Christ himself,
and, when they had come to see his
meaning, it was manifest in the lives
and teachings of his followers. 1t stands
out on every page of Holy Writ if men
will but read it. Changing the figure, it
is the very cornerstone of the church of

-NSANITARY conditions in Chihuas
huita, with their resulting sick
- nesses that have TO be cared for
by the charity association, were dis
cussed Thursday afternoon at the gem
eral meeting Of the Charity associa-
ton. held at the home Of the president,
Mrs. T. w. Lanier. on Montana street
In summing up the situation, Mrs.
I.anier said that as long as the inhabi-
tants Of that district of town lived
I'm dwellings without sewers and drank
seor.pa water from pumps, typhoid
dipththeria and other contagious or IN
fictitious diseases would continue ana
mat inc Charity association would con-
tfnue having to care Tor the effect
without I'm any way betJerlng OF pre-
venting the cause. She emphasized the
fact that the unhealthiness, unsanitary
and disease breeding CONDITION OIL Inat
quarter Of town must inevitably aIIecI
the health Of the rest Of the city. she
urged a general agitation among the
wOmens organizations OF the CITY 70
work for better enforcement OF the
sanitary laws of the city.
AIRS Olga KOhlberg suggested that
as il was very difficult to train the
older foreigners in the ways OF clean
Ifness that the only hope lay in work
as a remedy, that a model apartment
might be started in connection with
the school work, in which chIdren
might be taught the use and care OF the
modern conveniences of the home, with
which in their own homes, they are
absolutely unacquainted. She men
toned the laundry work that had been
started in the public schools in the do
nestle science work for the Mexican
children.
Kohlberg reminded the women Of the
association that the city public school
lzindergartens were started by three
women % years ago and that after the
first difficulties Of their beginning,
The zindergartens had become so sue
cessful that now every one took them
for granted as a part Of the school
work. Mrs. KOhlberg also suggested
the need of better pure food law en-
forcement and suggested bringing to
El Paso the woman member of the
state pure food inspectors.
Mrs. Lanier spoke of the way in
several cities by which the inspectors
grade the stores for their general clean
Illness and sanitary handling Of the
food sold and said that this had pro-
duced very beneficial results.
As a result Of the discussion con-
corning these topics a committee Of
three, composed Of Mrs. Olga Kohl
berg, Mrs. Horace ". Broaddus and
Mrs. Charles B. Stevens was appointed
by the president to confer with the
WOman's club the Civic league and
other organizations of the city to see
what cOOperated movement might be
made to better these conditions.
The meeting opened with the presi-
dent, Mrs. Lanier, reading the report
of the work done by the association
during the month. She spoke while
the members sewed garments of warm
materials for children Mrs. Lanier
explained why these garments were
necessary. When the association ap-
