MEMORIES
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

What if the years casting fear away, And entranced by waters in the sun, Unveil the face of hopes about to be Whose silver portals open one by one. I kiss the cheek of genius with grace, Contented that each morn made to bless, And rest my body in faiths sacred place Such is imagnations lovely dress -. Remembering the tenderness of youth; The vision of childs uplfted hands And then the silent hills where memory Walks in the night upon her golden sands.

Lesson a4Z3

Choosing Companions in Service,
Mark 3:719, 3135, for Sunday,
Feb. 20:
A tense, antagonistic atmosphere
as engendered in Capernaum seen
in last Sundays lesson caused Je-
sus to seek temporary retirement.
v. Z. ''But Jesus withdrew him
self with his disciples to the sea !;
and a great multitude followed him. :"
Jesus did not remain among his
critics to contend for his rights
nor to seek revenge We can avoid
many a quarrel and escape many a
temptation by quietly Withdrawing
v. 8. "a great multitude, when
they had heard what great things
he did, came unto him. Good news
spreads. There were mixed mo-
tives in those who sought Jesus.
Prominent among them was cur
iosity. Often an inferior motive
opens the way for higher ones, cul-
minating in Christian faith.
v. 8. "And he spake to his dis
ciples, that a small ship should
wait on him because of the multi
tude, lest they should throng him."
So eager was the multitude to get
close to Jesus that there was dan
ger of pushing him into the sea; a
boat nearby was for safety Good
judgment and foresight need to be
exercised though one has Chris
tian faith.
". II. "And unclean spirits
when they saw him fell down before
him, and cried, saying, Thou art
the Son of God" Evil spirits seem
to have known Christ better than
ordinary men. Sinners today often
discern true righteousness more
accurately than professed Chris
tians.
v. 12 "And he straitly charg-
ed them that they should not make
it known" Jesus wants his wit
nesses to consist of righteous men
and women, those on whose yerac
ity the public can depend. How.
ever, it is compliment to Christ
that the evil ones discern him and
know him as the Son of God.
v. 49, "And he goeth up into
mountain, and calleth unto him
whom he would; and they came un-
to him. Christ reached a point tn
his ministry when simple organ
ization was necessary. 1t was neces.
sary to begin with a small group
Drawing apart on a mountain away
from the crowd provided proper
can do much to provide environ
ment and conditions to carry on
Christian work
v. IA. "And he ordained twelve,
that they should be with him, and
