Q-The. statement in Matthew liza
which reads, while he yet talked to the
people, behold Ids mother and his bretn-

these brethren not the sons Of Mary also!
"a. c. Co.
Answer-We read in the Scriptures re-
specting ''brethren'' Of Jesus. This natur-
ally suggests that they were children of
mary because the word brethren is used
in this restricted sense at the present
time. But the word brethren was not
SO restricted in its use in olden times

The opening verse of this Study fur
nishes the key to all Jesus preaching,
so far as recorded. His one Message
of God. Any Christian who has not
learned. that Gods Kingdom is the
very essence of the Church's hope and
the worlds hope has not profitably
read and believed the Bible.
The Jews. not being ready for the
Kingdom, were as a nation rejected
from being Messiah's associates in
that Kingdom. But not all were re-
jected; hence We read that to as many
as received Him gave He power to
become sons of Colby the begetting
and amounting of the Holy Spirit at
PentecOst.
While thus declaring the Kingdom.
Jesus was not begging His way. We
have no suggestion that he ever took
up collection or IN any manner solic-
tied money. Many think this a sug-
gestion that His followers should like
wise make no appeals for money. but
merely use of their own substance and
whatever is voluntarily given into
| their possession. However, each must
decide for himeslf.

pitality were fulfilled in that Bethany
home. A guest was not an occasional
event, upsetting the household routine
and creating an abnormal life. These
two gracious women ministered con-
stantly by means of their home. a
form of Christian service which will
come again to its own one OF these
days. A woman can do more for the
world and for religion by the right use
of her home than by making speeches
or writing articles or serving on COM
mittees.
Two types OF women were hostesses
In the Bethany home. Both were be-
loved friends of Jesus and honored by
Him. Martha was the practical
woman, of the housekeeper type, with
a deep sense Of the importance OF
dinners; her husband would have
heard from her had he been late to
meals. She was somewhat under the
tyranny Of pots and pans. Means of
hospitality had imperceptibly taken
the place of the object of hospitality.
We may make all excuse for Martha
when we consider the crowd of men
Jesus and the twelve, not to mention
others-who were to be fed that day.
But she had allowed herself to be dis
tracted by her task. She was rat
tied" as an expressive colloquialism
has it.
A Wise Woman's Way.
Now hospitality is more than the
giving Of dinners; it is a sharing of
self. Everybody knows the type of
hostess who is too f1ustered to enjoy
her guest or to let her guest enjoy
her. The criticism that may fairly
be made of Martha is that she had
forgotten the old word of Eccle-
SiaStes. There is a time for all
things" Mary. with keener spirit
ual intuition, saw that a great hour
had come. This was no time to pot
ter about the kitchen when a great
Teacher awaited companionship in
the guest room. Mary was the sort
of woman who perceives the loneH-
ness Of the life Of the publicist and
understands that the applause of the
crowd is no balm for the WEAKNESS
and loneliness OF the spirit seeking
sympathetic fellowship.
bit petulant Martha spoke ir-
ritably to her sister and her guest;
thus it usually comes about when we
let mere things master US. Tenderly,
and with the freedom Of a privileged
friend, Jesus himself made answer
in Mary's behalf Martha, Martha,
thou art anxious an( troubled about
many things, but one thing is need
full; and Mary hath chosen the good
part, which shall not be taken away"
That was as if He had said, You
have let yourself come under the
yoke of mere transitory things. Mary
has put first things first, and has
chosen the permanent values. Din
ners are daily affairs; when a great
spiritual opportunity comes, it is
unique and all else must stand aside
for it,
After all has been said would it
not help more than anything else
toward the solution Of the woman
question" and a hundred other ques-
tons that trouble our times. If more
OF us were to learn the art of quiet
contemplation in the company of Je-
sus. viewing life's values as nearly
as possible from his standpoint?

Ierse Comments for January rs, THE
Perils That Threaten Our Nation"
-Jer. 2: 1-5, 1918.
(BY WILLIAM T. ELLISD
A new mood is mastering the minds
of men. All real observers perceive
this. Some name it, in political terms,
progressiveness and liberalism; others
call 1t democracy; others human free
dom; still others see it as worldwide
quest for righteousness and justice;
while yet again others discern in it
the beginnings Of a reign Of interna-
tional peace aid brotherhood. What
over the nomenclature and the diagno-
sis, the thing itself is a fresh sense of
spiritual values. 1t is concerned with
the fundamental issues, and it's object
is a better world for all men and wo-
men. The program for it is laid down
in this passage from the prophet Jere-
miah: Execute We Justice and right
eousness, and deliver him that is rob-
bed out of the hand of the oppresser;
and do no wrong do no violence, to
the sojourner, the fatherless, nor the
widow; neither shed innocent blood"
The newest Of the political parties has
no more modern or succinct statement
of its social program than this.
This way lies strength and safety.
The nation buttressed in the integrity
OF, its people, and Of it's dealings with
all men, is better defended than the
one with the monster army and navy.
The whole Is never greater than the
sum Of it's parts. A great nation can
never be made up of ignoble men.
But the country whose people are de-
voted to justice and good will cannot
be kept from greatness by any for
eign power.
The old story from Sparta. which
explains a modern bit of slang, is
pertinent. Where are the walls of
Spartan a visitor asked. There are
! the walls of Sparta replied the
king, pointing to his army: land every
man is brick" A noble citizenship
is the one sure and final bulwark of a
nation.
The new times create new perils.
What means the popularity of these
moving picture scenes of wild west
life? Obviously they signify that,
lacking the excitement of personal
endeavor and activity and the primi-
tive tasks Of mankind, people are seek
ing adventure by proxy. Just as the
highly civilized Romans, needing no
| longer to engage in war and the chase
and the active pursuits Of conquest,
satisfied this innate appetite for ad-
venture by the contest of the gladia-
torial arena. so our steam heated CIV
ilization is catering to the taste for
strife and achievement and out-of-
doors-life by the moving picture dra-
mas. What we need to counteract this
unwholesOme tendens y. is more open
air life for young and old, more OF
big. hard tasks to fill peoples lives,
and more of guidance in public recrea-
ton. The craving to be amused is q
real peril threatening our nation.

our country which inheres in the traf-

broader and deeper every day.
Perils proceed from personality. Bad
men and women are the spring of ma

menace. Only as individuals learn the
New Testament standard of chastity
can this evil be blotted out. Thus we
see that the help of the nation in the
hour of need is to be found in re-
ligion.
Sane and searching study Of the
problems involved in our enormous i'm
migra ton is showing the way out from
this peril, which is also a power. Mean

step to be taken is TO act in a brother
