Mark 10: 1882.
| The lesson today relates to some of
! the words of Jesus to His disciples
while they were on their way up to
Jerusalem on the last journey. We all
admire the heroism of the great Apos-
tie Paul who could not be called back
from making the trip to Jerusalem al
though there were repeated warnings
that bonds, prison, pain awaited him,
but how much more worthy of admira-
ton and love was the case of Jesus,
who knew in all detail what He was
about to face, yet set His feet stead
lily toward that city.
| It was on this journey that Jesus
plainly told His disciples that at Je-
rusalem He would be taken prisoner,
condemned, Knocked, put to death.
There was added, however, the prom
Use After three days | shall rise
again" Despite the plain language
used the disciples refused to believe
what He told them. When Jesus said
that the disciples would scatter and
leave Him, Peter bold and confident,
announced he would never, even if all
other did, and was told that he would
in a short time deny Jesus three times
So little did His chosen ones under
Island what was in the immediate flu
ture that two of them, James and
John, made request that they be given
place on either hand when Jesus came
Sin glory" When asked whether they
were willing to suffer whatever came
to Him in the future they said they
were. They were told that suffering
did await them, but that to sit on the
right and left hand of Jesus was not
!. His to promise, but would be given tc
them "for VIII ON it had been prepared
: We now come to that part of the les
. son which has words which have made
, the chapter immortal. Here are the
. words:
1.-THE Son of man came not to be
ministercd unto, but to minister.
, and to give His life ransom for
many"

t one so often set forth and painted be

This thought of the mission of Jesus
was also given place by the worthy
pastor on the weekly bulletin ISSUED
by the church. -
: In making this declaration as tt
; Himself, Jesus told the disciples ant
, christians which were to follow after
, that they must take pattern of Him
l. Jesus also said "WhosOever would be
the first among you, shall be the ser
, want of ALL" How far indeed are the
standards of the world at variance
with these of Jesus? The spirit of the
world says in the words of David Har
UNI, do the other fellow as he'd like
to do you, but do it FAST" or having
succeeded in reaching up the ladder
of your ambition, it is right to push
away others, and when the heights are
reached kick the support aside. This
spirit of the world is now nightly
