ing of the character and work of
their Teacher and Friend with whom
these men had companied intimately
for three years. This astounding re-
quest makes clear that they had not
for moment really apprehended the
nature of their Lord and His mis-
sion. All His efforts to enlighten
them had fallen upon closed and
carnal ears. For what James and
John asked entered tito the very
councils of eternity and sought to
overlap the plans of the Infinite
Had blistering and excoriating words
of rebuke fallen from the lips of the
Leader, we would feel that Justice
was being done. Yet with consid era
tion and compassion, as parent
deals with the childishness of little
children Jesus said gently, "Ye
know not what ye ask Are We able
TO drink the cup that / drink? or
to be baptised with the baptism that
l am baptised with? And they said
unto Him, We are able. And Jesus
said unto them, The cup that | drink
ye shall drink: and with the baptism
that 1 am baptised withal shall We
be haptised; but to sit on my right
hand or on my left hand is not mine
to give; but it is for them for whom
it hath been prepared"
The two did not comprehend at
all what they were about. much less
what Jesus designed. My thoughts

are not thy thoughts, neither are
your ways my ways" Our place in
this life and in the next is not the
one for which we ask, but the one for
which we are fitted.
A Split in the Ranks
Carranza and Villa down in Mex
leo have been separated by rivalries.
Political parties have been torn asun-
der by individual ambitions. The
Temperance reform presents divided
front for the same reason. This
tendency is as old as human nature
It threatened the little group of
twelve followers of Jesus. When the
ten learned of the secret ambition
and scheme of the two, they were
incensed. Their silent discomfort

doomed to die. There was no escape
for Him. He knew that He must suf-
Ter and die in ignominy. The cross
was fixed on the retina of the soul
of Jesus. Hear Him describe what
lay before Him: Behold. we go UP
to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man
shall be delivered unto the chief
priests and the scribes; and they
shall condemn Him to death, and
shall deliver Him unto the Gentiles;
and they shall mock Him, and shall
spit upon Him, and shall scourge Him,
and shall kill Him; and after three
days He shall rise again"
Striking a False Note
That is the background of this
lesson. 1t lends meaning to the in
cidents which the Sunday Schools are
now studying. The latter can be un-
derstood only in the light of their
setting. The words are those of a
man about to die. The parting coun-
sci is the exalted admonition of a
Friend and Teacher who was more
than a father to the group about
Him. The scene was as sacred as a
death chamber. The atmosphere
was surcharged with the spirit of
the approaching tragedy. In this
hour if ever. any little souls might
ests To intrude trivial or ignoble
themes into this occasion, would be
like talking millinery over a mothers S
bier.
Nevertheless, the opportunity was
seized by the nearest disciples of
Jesus to gain honors for themselves.
Here again, and in the other most
sacred hours of the Masters life, am
bition thrust its ugly head forward
The disciples who should have been
the most tender and sympathetic
sharers of His passion, We're using
this hour to assure their own future
positions. Whatever the nature of
the kingdom that the Lord meant to
round, they wanted the chief seats.
The Politicians Petition
Shortly before President Wilson'S
election, a well-known politician told
me that he was an applicant for an
office under the administration, and
when l asked him concerning the
particular post, he said, well, any
thing from place in the Cabinet to
position in the internal revenue
service" The man saw no absurdity
in his statement. He thought he
was fitted for the highest post. His
ambitions outran his ability. He did
not realize what he asked. In like
manner these disciples, James and
John, made a preposterous request of
their Master. Selfish interests had
blinded their judgBent-as it COM
monty does. What they asked was
nothing less than this: Grant unto
us that we may sit, one on Thy right
hand and one on Thy left hand in Thy
glory"
Amazement at this vaulting ambi-
tion is obscured by the thought of
how slight was the real understand

broke into open protest They were
probably no better than the others
and equally ambitious. Simply the
two had got ahead of them. Such
was the material out of which the
early church was made. We marvel
that such common men as these
should have been transformed into
the apostles of a later day.
How was this crisis met by Jesus?
Did He answer by thunders of au-
thority and denunciation? No. In
stead, He opened school and held
a kindergarten class in His philoso-
ply of greatness. He gathered the
twelve close to Himself and patiently
taught them: "Ye know that they
who are accounted to rule over the
Gentiles lord it over them; and their

great ones exercise authority over
them. But it is not so among you:
but whosover would become great
among you, shall be your minister;
and whosoever would be first among
you, shall be servant of all. For
the Son of Man also came not to be
ministered unto, but to minister, and
to give his life a ransom for many"
Mastering by Ministry
In the middle ages there was a
widespread belief in the power of a
talisman. Sir Walter Scott wrote a
book about one such, whose touch
was supposed to heal and to extract
poisons. In the few lines just quoted
we have talisman for most of the
ills of church and the time. IT takes
the danger out of every possible po-

church, assailed by an infuriated con-
gregation, battled with food which
apparently means inevitable death.
In this hour he played the man so
splendidly with no thought of fear or
of self, but only of his work, of his
loyalties and of his love, that the
time of sentiment was completely
turned. The highest heroism shows
itself in the presence of clearly per-
ceived and inescapable death. The
galleries of memory hold as treasures
the pictures of the brave men

gentlemen, rather than seek life like
cravens. And now we come upon
"a picture of the greatest Hero of ALL
