When the wreck was inspected

After passing Pekin the plane

TOMORROW'S SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
THE GROWING
FAME OF JESUS
BY REV. EDWARD TABER

The spectacular career Of
Jesus of Nazareth is unrivalled
in history.
Altogether apart from His
divinity, aside from His mirac-
ulous power, He exerted influ-
ence and commanded attention
in q way that. was altogether
unprecedented.
| In the. career of the Teacher
/ of Galilee there was drama and
| tragedy, beauty and pathos. His
message aroused q response from
His own and all succeeding ages.
Others have won popular ac-
claim, and inspired men to fol-
low them with devotion. But
such men have usually been
political or military leaders who
were able to promise their fol-
lowers military glory or political
office.
Not only did Jesus promise
nothing to His followers in the
way of material reward; He
actually warned them Of the
consequences to themselves If
they were numbered among His
followers.
The great majority Of the
early disciples of the Master
met with violent death They
were prosecuted. beaten, impris-
oned, and usually, at the last,
put to death.
The authorities were not long
in taking alarm at the progress
made by the early church. The
prediction made by Jesus Him
self that His apostles would be
prosecuted was not long in full
fillment. The warning, IF any
man would be my disciple, let
him deny himself, take up his
cross and follow me-" was soon
seen to have q very real foun-
dation in fact.
Despite the fact that the
preachings Of Christ were on
matters that usually failed to
arouse men to great enthusiasm,
The Washington times., 1928-01-28

"the common people heard Him
gladly" For years the scribes
and priests had been teaching
on religion. The Pharisees be-
lieved in the immortality of the
soul, but they never succeeded
in making the kingdom of heaven
q reality to their hearers.
For years Jerusalem and the
temple had been the center Of
the religious life Of the nation.
But it was religion that was
formal and dead. The people
did not react to it with any en-
thusiasm.
Jesus made religion vivid and
real. The people thronRed to
hear Him. About His person
atty there was q magnetism
that was compelling in the ex-
treme. The miracles Of healing,
and the matchless beauty and
simplicity Of His teachings
caused the people to surge about
him. At one time The press was
so great that He told His dis
cipIes that "a small ship should
wait upon Him because Of the
multitude, lest they should throng
Him"
Vast crowds besought the
Master, "that they might touch
if it were but the border Of His
garment" His popularity was
construed by the religious au-
thorities Of the day as . menace
to the vested powers. Soon .
definite campaign against the
Savior was under way, spon-
sored BY the Pharisees and Sad
ducees.
But for many months the pop
ularity Of the young Teacher
was 50 great that they did not
dare to do more than mutter
their digapprovaI.
Jesus Of Nazareth is the most
spectacular figure Of all time.
Judged purely from the stand
point Of attention compelling
interest, Hnever man spake like
this man..
