CONSIDER JESUS, HIS CONFIDENT
! EXPECTATION


(Read st. John 15:14-17; Cornth-
ians 5:14-15.)
The words spoken by Jesus in the
upper room reveal deep friendship
with the men whom He had trained.
In the great crisis of His ministry,
they remained firm III their allegiance
to Him. Their attitude registered
their confidence in Him. They did
not profess fully to understand Him,
but nevertheless, although sometimes
perplexed by His teachings, they felt
He must be right. Indeed, He re-
minded them that in the sequel they
would appreciatively understand Him
(St. johns 1920. Jesus had faith
in these men that they would re-
spcnd, and He was Justified by the
outcome Herein is the marvel, that
plain men with few qualifications
cbeyed the summons to partnership
with Jesus, and We're able to further
the task of world redemption.
This week Of meditation and prayer
has surely made clear to us Jesus
terms. of fellowship, that we are to
be drawn towards Him by, the con-
strafnts of love and of free will.
The appeal to history brings before
us a company of faithful souls who
followed His lead into light ana
liberty They heard the voice OF
their Redeeming Lord and obeyed
it. They took their stand by His
side and never rued it. Their historic
fa.thfulness is challenge to us to
Go likewise. Jesus must bring the
world OF mankind to His pierced
feet. Every realm of life and labor
must be made subject to His control.
He challenges us to make this pos
sible. Let us prove ourselves worthy
of His trust III US Consider Him

For the youth. of North America

Let us Pray
That all changes in policy and

purpose to constitute Jesus the de.

That the ardent impulses of youth
may be promptly and patiently iii
erected towards conservation TO Jesus.
That the year 1927 may register
