with the same body Of facts. The
fourth gospel, written later, is more
in the nature Of spiritual interpre-
tation of the Life of Jesus.
Even in the synoptic gospels there
are seeming discrepancies; for each
author wrote after his own char
acteristic nature and viewpoint. In
one of the prewar years / was
teaching Bible and comparative
religions in Swarthmore College and
I hit upon an effective device for
dealing with this difficulty. President
Wilson was about to visit the college.
So had the class elect its four best
historians to write a report OF the
President, his personality, appear
ance, words and activities while In
Swarthmore. I cautioned them to
write as II theirs were the only
history that would survive for 1000
years.
On the following week the class
session was devoted to a reading
and discussion Of the four papers.
None Of the students has ever
forgotten that day One OF them,
himself now a university professor,
spoke to me about 1t recently. For
the four careful historical accounts
of an event with which all present
were personally familiar differ from
one another far more completely
than do the synoptic gospels. They
might have been dealing with
different occasions and a different
central figure. They demonstrated
that no two persons see an event
with the same eyes. We had a
merry time discussing the diver
gencies. but all the students saw
the point. There was thenceforth
no need to discuss the minor dis
agreements in the four gospels.
As DR.. James w. Stewart has
written in his Church Of Scotland
handbook upon the Life and Teach
ings of Jesus Christ: Inspiration
was not God magically transcending
| human minds and faculties: 1t was
God expressing His will through the
dedication of human faculties. 1t
does not supersede the sacred writer S
own personality and make him God
machine: it reinforces his personality
and makes him God S living witness.
Undergirding Our Times.
That most of the 10000, 900 OF
! Sunday school members in North

about the life and teachings of Jesu,
for the next six months Is a fact
of immeasurable social significance
In a time Of mental confusion they
will be confronting the great realities

appeal upon the days perplexities

most stabilizing force. As one has
recently said, 1T is the Christians
who hold the world together" Here
we have q foundation for the good
life. The manner in which the
gospel is inextricably intertwined
with current events is dramatically
portrayed In q new book by a
Canadian writer, James H. Hunter,
entitled 'The Mystery of Mar
Saba" The book is q mystery story,
an adventure story. "shocker," q
love story, Bible lands travel tale,
all eliminating in the discovery
Of manuscript. forged by the Ger
mans, to discredit faith in the
credibility of the Christian religion.
In a startling manner, the tale makes
clear the dependence of our civili-
zation upon the gospel record that
the Sunday schools are now study
ing.
Three Men: Three Viewpoints.
Oldest and shortest of the three
gospels is that written by Mark,
the romantic figure of the young
man who. as Paul's companion, fell
down and then came back. The date
was between IS and 10 A. D. He got
his facts mostly from Peter; SO that
his book is sometimes called "The
Gospel Of Peter" The other two
synoptists made use of Marks S
earlier book.
1t has been conjectured that Mark
was the son of the woman who pro-
vided the large upper room" for
Jesus and His disciples, and that
he himself was the young man who
had fled from the Garden of Geth-
semane, leaving his garments in the
clutching hands Of the soldiers. If
so, Mark had a first-hand knowledge
Of Jesus. Mostly, though, he re-
ported the testimony of Peter. His
narrative Is clear-cut, factual and
| objective, a series of memoirs ra-
ther than a symmetrical biography
Another of the gospels was written
by a man who had been reclaimed
by Jesus, and Of the three synoptists
the only one who was an apostle
Matthew was a renegade Jew, an
outcast, grating tax collector. who
had apparently grown rich out of
his nefarious calling. He wrote his
story for the Jews. He frequently
quotes the Old Testament and
stresses the Messianic hope. He
begins the genealogy of Jesus with
Abraham, whereas Luke, with his
more universal gospel, begins with
Adam. Matthew dwelt predomi-
nantly upon the teachings of Jesus
whereas Mark confined himself more
largely to events. Matthew modestly
tells of his own conversion in a
single verse and omits all mention
of the feast which he gave for Jesus
The only scholar and trained his.
torian of the three was Luke, the
cultured Greek physician, who basec
his gospel and the Acts upon careful
research. In the generation that haC
elapsed between the death of Jesu.
and the records of the evangelists
the Story of the Life had been tolc
by eyewitnesses, or by those whit
had it from eyewitnesses, and ther'
were doubtless many fragmentar,
writings af1oat. With his acute anc
trained intelligence, Luke perceived
that these should be reduced tt
order, for transmission to succeeding
generations. BY the beginning Of
the second century the four gospels
including Johns, were in general
use among the Christians. They
still are the power books for day
that needs light and leading.

January 4 is "The Life Of Christ:
