lcSS every nome In Lne community
held some specimen of His skill. Be-
fore ever He became the worlds
teacher and healer, Jesus spent long
years at the lowly task of q working
man, thus forging a unique tie with
all workers everywhere. He is today
the toiler's Comrade Christ He knew
drudgery, and all the physical weari-
ness of labor, and the monotony of
routine tasks. There is no burden on
the back of the laborer that He can
not understand and lift.
This Is the gospel of\abor.
Ring it, ye bells Of the kirk,
The Lord Of love came down from
above
To dwell with the men who work."
Van Dyke.
From Marks story we learn that
Jesus was the Oldest son of a large
family. Tradition has it that Joseph,
the father, died while the children
were young, so the responsibility for
supporting Mother Mary and the
brothers and sisters devolved upon
Jesus. Like most other artisans, He
knew the acuteness of the bread-and-
butter problem. Familiar to Him were
the joys and cares of working mans
humble home. No cloistered scholar.
no remote ascetic, no child of special
privilege and opportunity was Jesus.
God placed His only Son in that best
of all schools, a family, with godly
mother. Yet even His brothers and
sisters did not understand Him, or
accept His mission, until after the
resurrection. Loneliness is the lot of
all great spirits.
Contemptuous-and contemplate
Nazareth lost much by its self-com-
placent stupidity and insularity. For
Jesus could do no mighty works there,
because of their unbelief. 1t would
have been changed Nazareth had
it only possessed a little more vision.
All, those poor communities which
miss their chance A profound and
a universal principle underlies the re-
mark Of Jesus on another occasion,
According to our faith, be it unto
you"
AS If to illustrate another saying
of its rejected citizen, about one gen.
eration's stoning its prophets and
anothers building monuments to
them, the city of Nazareth today, as
it nestles amidst its hills, is fanatically
Christian. There are practically no
Moslems or Jews among the residents.
The people now prize highly the honor
which once they spurned
To Wider Fields.
Whatever befell Him. the Great
Teacher ever kept His face forward.
When rejected at Nazareth, He made
healing and teaching tour of the
neighboring villages. Then, enlarging
the scope of His work, Jesus called
The IL disciples and sent them forth,
two by two, to carry the kingdom
tidings afar. He instructed them as
to equipment and procedure, both of
the simplest.
Our modern mood in the church is
for security first. We want big build
lngs. endowed if possible, to be cita-
dels OF religion. Something of the
spirit Of adventure and Of pioneering
and OF suffering hardship has gone
from the church. Even the brave
days OF the circuit riders seem re-
mote. Yet the Jesus method still
holds good, of simple, faith-f1lled
ltineration with the good news. And
all over the world. ministers. mis-
slonaries and laymen are carrying on
the great evanselizing.
The Sunday school lesson for March

the folk with whom He had grown up
Every achiever cares more for the rec
ognition of the little home town paper
than for all the plaudits OF the met
ropolitan press. God has made us that
way, to hold dearest that which Is
nearest. No symbol of success Is
sweeter than the appreciation OF fam
lily and old friends.
Although scorned and threatened at
His first appearance in the Nazareth
synagogue, at the outset of His minis
try, Jesus returned to the old town
after He had achieved fame and after
the reports of His marvellous ministry
were upon everybody's tongue. Surely
they would receive Him now.
1t is the innate littleness which
curses most of us that leads us to say
disparagingly, of an acquaintance who
has grown great, why, I knew him
when" The implication is that no
one who once lived on our level could
ever really amount to much. He has
grown beyond us; but we still persist
in our petty first judgments. Long
fellow expresses it:
The low desire, the base design,
Which makes another's virtues less"
Lying on the surface of Marks terse-
ly told tale of the Masters experience
in Nazareth is the admonition to keep
our eyes open for excellence in our
own familiar circle. Only the rare man
or woman perceives the potentialities
Of greatness in the youth Of the neigh
borhood. But these few have sped
many persons on to achievement. This
gift OF discovering hidden qualities of
worth in those nearest to us is really
Christ-like, for Jesus saw as diamonds
the rough pebble-men about the Lake
of Galilee whom He made disciples. A
quest for the best in every life We
touch is Christian service. There are
myriads all about us hungry for un-
derstanding of their higher selves and
Of their latent talents.
Opportunity, magnificent and
matchless, came to the Nazareth
neighbors when Jesus. forgiving their
earlier affront, returned to the home
town. What comfort and JOY it
would have been to Him had these
friends of lifetime welcomed and
understood Him! Few, indeed,
throughout His life were the discern
ing encouragers. Although amazed
by His words and works. the miser-
able. purblind Nazarenes only scoffed
at Jesus. The big world might be
fooled by Him. but they knew Him
when" Thus Nazareth, which
thought it was judging Jesus, rem
dered judgment upon itself.
rs Not This the Carpenter?"
Nazareth's sneer has become the
church's boast. Yes. Jesus was a
carpenter, and a good one. Doubt
