the natuarl order; we first come to
him and find him as our Lord and
Saviour and then he comes to us
with his redeeming love. 1t is well
that there has been recorded in the
Bible, the teachings of Christ for
primarily he speaks to us today
through His word. To be good dis
ciples we must be on speaking
terms with Jesus, first, through
prayer which is our speaking to the
Lord; secondly, by Bible reading
which makes possible the Lord
speaking to us. The time has now
come when Jesus announces his au-
thority which he had demonstrated
on many occasions. We need to en-
phasize that his announced author
ity had special reference to his
kingdom and the work of the king
dom. 1t is by his power that men
enter that kingdom and as kingdom
citizens demonstrate the power and
authority of the Lord This is in
dicated in the following verse.
" 10. eco we therefore and
teach all nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father, the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost" Here is
Gods great program for his chill
dren who heard him say come" on
some previous occasion. The en-
duement of power on his disciples
was such as to make them mission
aries SO that the New Testament
from the book Of the Acts to the
end is a continuous missionary re-
port. If this pace had been kept up
by the church we would have a
Christian world, all living as one
big family of God. The teaching
function of the church is co-equal
with the preaching service of the
church. We must know the Will Of
God before we can do it. The ques-
tions of right and wrong call for
Christian teaching. Provision must
be made for adequate Christian ed
ucation at home and abroad Chris
ton profession must include Chris
tian confession accepting baptism
as a seal to ones acceptance and
loyalty to the Lord of salvation. In
this holy relation the triune God is
recognized.
v. 20. Teaching them to OBJ
serve all things whatsoever l have
commanded you; and 10, l am with
you alway, even unto the end of the
world" Christian teachers are not
to spend their time in giving their
opinions but to point to the vital
teachings of Christ.

The Continuing Task, Matthew
28:16-2O, for Sunday, March 81:
Following the directions of the
Lord, the eleven, with many others
(possibly 5000 went into Galilee to
a mountain designated by him. This
was the eighth appearance of Christ
after his resurrection.
V. 28. "Then the eleven disciples
went away into Galilee, into
mountain where Jesus appeared.
This was like going to the old home
where many sacred memories
abounded. Surroundings and cir
cumstances have an important part
in making Christianity real Note
how that again a mountain was
chosen which was done often before.
Jesus would have his disciples en-
joy mountain top experience.
There is a note Of sorrow in the
word "eleven" for one was worse
than dead The sorrow Of sorrows
will be the absence of any friends
or associates when meeting Christ
in glory.
VIZ. "And when they saw him,
they worshipped him; but some
doubted Too much emphasis can
not be placed on worship. Only
men can worship God and not to do
so is to place oneself in the class
with animals that live to eat. God
reveals himself in worship and it is
in worship that We grow our souls;
1t is in worship that we obtain
grace and strength and become re-
ceptive to divine instruction. That
some doubted shows the human side
of some of the disciples. Evident
ly it was honest doubling which
gave way to living faith as never
again was such a report recorded or
these disciples. They took their
doubts to Jesus who dispelled them.
In worship as we pray Lord help
my unbelief" divine confidence is
impaired. We have here also an
example of united fellowship. One
may be a Christian in isolation but
it is rare. God has planned that
his children should be closely asso-
ciated and out of this relationship
has sprung the Christian church
which can not be ignored without
spiritual loss One of the gravest
perils today is in the fact that only
one-third of the members Of the
Protestant churches of the United
States attend church services regu-
Iarly; then add to this the greater
number not church members that
pay no attention to the church SER
vices and the work of the church.
v. 18. "And Jesus came and
spake unto them, saying, All power !
(authority) is given unto me in
heaven and in EARTH In former
occasions the disciples came to Je-
but now he comes to them. This is
