Dividing Old Comrades.
If the failures Of youth involved
only themselves they would be less
disastrous. But they usually affect
their betters. So 1t was with Mark.

Mark had had his lesson. And Paul

Testament, we find Marks name re-

great prisoner in Rome writes to
Timothy to bring Mark to him, "for
he is great help to me in my min

Rome, Paul lists Marks name first
among his associates as sending
greetings. We may we'll imagine how
the memory Of his first failure stirred
Mark to even greater zeal in service
OF Paul and OF their common Master.
Later, Mark became the helper Of
Peter. who writes Of him as Mark,

The Man Who Couid Write.
Mark had one outstanding gift: He
could write. Peter could preach. but
he could not write, any more than
can most preachers. Those calloused

So it came about that Mark. the
