Mary hath chosen the good part which
shall not be taken away from her
Luke 1O:42.
THE HOME GIVER
God began the world with home.
Bowered in garden and crowded.
with love, it was His idea Of the foun-
dation of world life. But sin enter
ed and His dream was married. Thru
all the centuries the shattred bits OF
it were found here and there, but 1t
was impossible that when Christ came
into His world that He should not
once more attempt to show the Sc
cret of Gods plan. Somewhere 1t
was certain that a home would be
lifted into the light as carrying with
in it the spirit of what the Father
meant. The Nazareth home? Love
was there but Jesus was not Lord to
that group until after lie came back
from the dead and only where He IS
admitted as Lord can a real home be
found. And that was true in Beth
any. Mary and Martha and Lazarus
all bowed the knee to this Lover OF
them all. Lazarus, the silent, Is the
pivot upon which it revolved, for they
all loved him, and for man to be
taken into the heart Of Jesus as a
friend is honor sufficient for any one.
Martha ruled the house that Mary
managed. Martha did the busting
and the proposing and was continu-
ally in the foreground Of all its af-
fairs. But the provision belonged to
Mary and out of a dropped hint Mar
tina would manufacture her plans all
unconscious that any other mind than
her own had been at work. Such were
the persons out of which Jesus sought
to restore for the world the picture
God had placed in that early garden.
The material was not perfect which
becomes our own ground Of hope in
the making of our own attempts at
the thing God dreamed. Take that
picture of day when Jesus suddenly
