not a leader because you are IN a

In answer to the question put to
Jesus as to who was the Greatest,
He took a basin of water and grid
ed himself with a towel and began
to wash the disciples feet, which
was an eloquent answer, but that
might not fail to get the slgnifl-
eance Of his acts, he called lit
tie child unto him and set him in
the midst of them and said, "Ex-
cept you be converted and become
as this little child We shall not en-
ter into the kingdom, whatsoever
shall humble himself as this little
child, the same is the greatest in
the kingdom Ct heaven" Now he
would be great let him serve, The
greatest in the kingdom accord
ing to Christ's philosophy IS the
one giving the greatest service. So,
il you desire to know how great
you are, review your service, II a
layman, you are great if you work
and loyalty to the cause warrant
it. Ask yourself how much sen

tributed to the advancement of his

Savior? And your greatness can
clearly be seen. If minister, re.
view your life, how many hearts
have you made lighter? How many
souls have you brought to Christ?
How many ediiices have you built

any footprints of service left be

Of greatness aside from some big
place some one has placed you out

Mr.. Pinder saw the problem the
farmers faced and shortly after
his appointment as farm agent, he
called several of them to his Of

possibility of pooling their pro-
dues and selling them together.

fer receiving daily quotations from

Pooling their eucumhers, egg

toes, lima beans, watermelons and
other vegetables, the truck grow
ers soon saw their sales increase
from 25 packages day to some
times more than five truck vans

the many seeking to enter but not
able to do so, Enter in by the mar
row door" (2l "Tae unsaved."
Pursuing the thought that many
will not be able to enter, Jesus
explained why they must at last
hp SHUT out of the kingdom. The
invitations have been extended and
closed at the appointed time, the
door of hospitality and Of hope is
shut, and the latest callers plead
in vain for entrance. They may
persist that they were nominal
Christians calen performing the
external acts of piety and there
fore, they might claim, entitled
TO the ultimate bliss. The Master,
however, can but call them work
ers Of iniquity, declaring that he,
never knew them as his disciples,
and leaving them in their despair
to the weeping and crashing OF
teeth. Let everyone be warned
against such a fate, GU The
Saved Lifting now his eyes to the
contamination Of the age, Jesus
predicts hat the kingdom will en-
brace not only believing Jews, but
also all others who accept Christ
from whatever roint of the COM
pass they may CONF. Indeed, he
declares that they shall come from
east and west, from north and
solth, and shall sit down in the
kingdom of God to the privileges
and the joys and the larger life
and ever that feast Of the redeem

Another important point III regard
to the saved is that some who &C.

the oarth-life will he finally out

who are socially or finacially be-

stone the woman to death upon
the charges of adultry. as the law
required, he directed those with
out sin to cast the first stone
but no stones were cast, and under
the same circumstances, but few

All of these questions were set
tied with infinite ease, but this
question by his disciples: "Who is
the greatest in the Kingdom ?"
must have been somewhat disap-
pointing, as he had given so much
time in teaching humility. And
not only did they question Jesus
az to who was the greatest, but
there was strife among them at to
who was the greatest man among
them. However Jesus was and is a
