Mediterranean Ship-a bearded man
of about 80 years, with lustrous.
kindly eyes and smiling countenance,
who walked quietly amidst the tur-
bulent passengers and affrighted
sheep that crowded the deck, and
pacified both. He was a good shep-
herd who brought peace and fellow
ship to all.
So ordinary was .the Man who
moved ministeringly amidst His
time, that snobbish Pharisees felt
free to snub Him on a social occa-
sion. The learned scoffed at His
lack of letters. His neighbors
sneered that He was only a local
wcrkingman. The common people
heard Him gladly, because He was
one of themselves. The hands that
broke bread for the multitude. and
were laid lovingly upon the heads
of little children, before ever they
were pierced by hates cruel nails,
were the calloused hands of toiler.
Yet that Man was the sent Son
OF God. the supreme effort of the
Almighty to reveal His own mature
| to mankind. Jesus was God crowd
I ing close to mortal in the common
ways of life. There is profound
/ significance a greater meaning
/ than may be found in any of our
contemporary theorizing-in the
| truth that, as Van Dykes poem says,
THE Lord of Love came down
from above,
To dwell with the men who
work"
Ever since the earthly life Of
Jesus. the common people have
understood Him best and loved Him
most In our day, with the intel
lectuals" pursuing wordy theories. it
is the plain folk, the women in the
kitchens, the men in the workshops
and farms. who are standing
steadiest in their loyalty to the Lord.
The revival of religion which is our
one sure hope of remade world
will come from the bottom up, and
not from the top down. Jesus still
looks for His best friends where He
looked for them in the days of His
flesh, amidst the common people.
The Story's One Source.
Books about Jesus Christ are
countless. For two thousand years
they have been piling up the best
product of the best brains of all the
ages. Today He is the central
figure of the worlds thought. Right
here there is the need for an en-
phatic word. In our current specula-
tive mood we are prone to accept
theories about Christ, rather than
the clear facts of His life. Literally
all that we know of Jesus is con-
tanned in the Bible. There are a
few vague illusions to Him in con-
temporary, or near contemporary
secular literature. But for the actual
facts We must go to the Story's one
source, which is the Scriptures. Luke

xiv A, As is a good passage to read
here.
Other books, modern attempts to
portray Jesus, novels, poems, essays,
have been popular. A recent one
The Nazarene, has had vogue
due principally to its title; for it
is inaccurate, misleading, unbeliev-
ing, absurdly pretentious and deadly
dull. Let us get clear in our minds
the simple truth that the first and
last record of the life of Christ is
to be found in the Bible. That is
why we should be saturating our
minds with the Gospels. Only SO
may the cobwebs of misconception
be cleared from our brains.
Thus reading, with stern realism,
we shall be forced to accept one
OF two alternatives: Either Jesus
was what the Bible says He was,
or else He was the supreme impos-
ter of the Ages. We cannot accept
Him merely as good man: for He
was not a good man if His clear
claims for His own deity and savior
hood were false. If they were true,
then there is no other course left
than to cry, My Lord and my Cod:
recognizing Him as God incarnate,
and mans only Saviour
An Ambitious Mother.
Two Gospel incidents have been
chosen. out of scores pertinent, by
the Lesson Committee, as the basis
for this weeks study, Christ Oul
Saviour" The first is the story oi
the mother of James and John, ask
ing preferment for them in the new
kingdom, thus arousing the jeal-
ousy of the other disciples. Jesus
rebuked worldly ambition, remind
ing the Zebedee family that the
worlds way is not His way. But
it snail not be so among you; but
whosoever shall be great among you
let him be your minister; and who
soever shall be chief among you,
let him be your servant; even as the
Son of Man came not to be minis
tered unto, but to minister. and t
give His life ransom for many"
Our other lesson reference is to
the familiar story of Zaccheus, the
short, rich man of Jericho, who
| climbed tree to see Jesus: and who
stands forever as the type of the
prosperous person who, once his eyes
are opened to the lordship of Christ
lays his all on the altar of restitu-
ton and discipleship. Onlookers
grumbled at the Masters favors
towards Zaccheus, even to the ex-
tent of dining with him. for the
mans sharp practices had won him
notoriety as sinner. Jesus clinched
the situation with the priceless
words. The Son of man is come to
! seek and to save that which was
| lost"
No better quotation for this lesson
can be found than the familiar
words of Phillips Brooks:
Il am far within the mark when
I say that all the armies that ever
marched. and all the navies that
ever were built, and all the parlia-
ments that ever sat. and all the
kings that ever reigned, put to-
gether, have not affected the life of
man upon this earth as powerfully
as has that one solitary life; the
life of Christ"
