TOMORROW'S SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Christ s Standard
of Greatness
BY REV. EDWARD TABER

into His glory. They believed
Christ would soon overthrow
His enemies and set up an
earthly kingdom. They were
anxious they should receive
the most desirable offices when
the patronage was dispensed.
The answer of the Master is
classic: whatsoever of you
will be the chiefest shall be
the servant of all. For even
the Son of Man came not to
be ministered unto, but to
minister"
Repeatedly the disciples
failed to understand the teach
ings of Jesus. He spoke of
the Kingdom of Heaven and
they believed Him to be speak
ing of an earthly kingdom.
He spoke of the bread of life,
and they thought Him to be
speaking of food and material
comfort. Their appreciation
of His teachings was decidedly
modified by their environment
and intellectual background.
Be it said to the credit of
these same apostles that after
the resurrection they became
as men TRANSPORTED. The old
petty ambitions vanished. The
old contentious passed away.
The teaching of the Savior
was interpreted in its spiritual
beauty. The apostles preached
their message of cheer and
faith without regard to per-
sonal comfort or welfare.
The supreme giver of all
time is Jesus Of Nazareth.
His name is the greatest name
of history. Written above
that of Caesar, Alexander or
Napoleon, of Shakespeare,
Goethe or Milton, of Raphael,
Michelangelo or Leonardo, is
the name Of Jesus of Naza-
reth--who had not where to
lay His head, whose life and
death constituted the supreme
sacrifice.

The makers of history have
been givers, not getters. If it
is objected that this is a plati-
tude, it may be answered that
all brief statements conspicu-
ously true are platitudes.
The greatest men and women
of all time have been those
who have given lavishly of
their energies for the advance
ment of the common good.
The old prophets were CIV
ers. They preached what they
believed to be true regardless
of consequences. Often they
were prosecuted, sometimes
killed.
The great scientists have
been content to give their dis
coveries to mankind; financial
reward has usually been an
after thought.
Joan of Arc, peasant girl of
France, will be remembered as
long as history endures, though
she was burned when still in
her teens.
In modern days the praise
of what is called service has
been a bit overdone. Sinclair
Lewis, in a recent novel, has
satirized the business man
who talks much of service.
1t is true enough that there
has been a considerable pre-
tense in the PHILOSOPHERS Of
many of those who have talked
much of serving their fellow
man.
And yet it is as true today
as ever that enduring success
must be built upon the render
ing of a genuine service, the
filling of a real need.
The ideal as taught by
Christ was the opposite Of
selfish ambition. There came
to the Master James and John,
the sons of Zebedee, beseech-
ing Him that one should sit
on His right hand, the other
on His left, when He came
