Turning now to Mark, We ind
Him presented as
ii. The Servant mark IL, IA, 15).
A servant needs no genealogy, he
needs only to be able and ready to
work, and that is just what we find
In Mark. The account plunges at
once into the story of 1.-The gospel
of Jesus Christ, the Son Of God"
who is ready to serve-by life or
by death-yes, even by the death
of the cross.
The forerunner, John the Baptist,
bears his witness. Jesus is bap-
tized. John is imprisoned, and i'm
mediately Jesus begins to preach.
Repent ye, and believe the gos-
pel." The key verse Of Mark is
1O:45: For even the Son of man
came not to be ministered unto.
but to minister" The characteristic
words are "straightway," forth
WITH" and Immediately" The
Greek word thus translated appears
about 40 times in the book. The
Servant of God went quickly about
the Fathers business. Christians,
can we say the same for ourselves?
III. The Son of Man duke 1:1-4.
Luke undertakes to write, under
the control of the Holy Spirit, a
careful account Of the saving work
of Christ, but he makes it doubly
clear that he writes from tirsthand
knowledge. "Eyewitnesses" means
those who made personal investi-
cation, hence, those who knew
Christ as the Son of Man, the One
who became flesh and dwelt among
us. Ministers" means literally
those who served under Jesus, His
personal assistants; again empha-
sizing His personal ministry as 1.-The
Son of man who is come to seek
and to save that which was lost"
(as Luke 10: 10, the key verse of this
Gospel, expresses it,.
~. The Risen and Ascended Lord
(Acts 1:1-5.
Christ who was crucified arose
Victor over death and the grave,
and ascended to the Father, where
He now appears as our Advocate.
That does not mean that His work
on earth terminated, for we have in
Acts what DR.. Morgan fittingly calls
1.-The book of the continued doing
and teaching of the living Christ by
the Holy Spirit through His body,
which is the church"
The Gospels (Acts I'D told only
that Jesus began to do and to
teach" Acts continues, but does not
complete the story. Christ is work
ing today in and through surren-
dered believers. Will He have lib
erty to work through you and
through me- this year of 1912? If so,
it is sure to be a happy-yes, q
blessed-New Year.

A new year of God-given oppor-
tunity with the assurance of His
grace and strength for our daily
need. Such is the precious gift we
hold in our hands as we enter on
A. D. 1912.
With the new year, we enter upon
a new course of study-carefully
planned ahead through l947, if the
Lord tarries. We begin very ap-
propriately with a study Of the life
of Christ as presented in the first
three Gospels, known as the Synop-
tic Gospels.
"Synoptic" is combination Of
two words, meaning "a view to-
gether," and refers to the fact that
Matthew, Mark, and Luke give us
the same general view of Christ,
although differing somewhat in their
emphasis.
Matthew, writing his Gospel
especially to the Jews, presents
Christ as King. Mark, for the Ro-
mans, presents the Servant. Luke
presents to the Greeks the Son of
Mantle perfect Man, and John, for
the Christian church, reveals the
Son of God. But note that all the
Gospels are for us, and in them we
find the fourfold picture which pre-
sents the many-sided glory and
beauty of our Lord Turning to our
scriptures we see
l. The King Matt IL, I'D.
These verses come at the begin
ming and end of the kingly geneal-
ogy of Jesus. 1t is important that
the descent of a king be carefully
recorded and studied, for it alone
can prove his right to the throne.
We know that Israel rejected Jesus
as King, but we also know what
prophecy reveals that He will one
day take-the throne of David and

LONDON, Nov: "a - up -
The Netherlands government-in-
exile charged Germany today
with organizing q vast scheme
of extortion by selling exit per-
mits from occupied territory for
great sums and said 1t would
combat the traffic with every
means in cooperation with the
British and United States gov

be allowed to emigrate on con-
dition that q considerable sum,

country, be made available to

"In some cases the request
emanates from the prospective
emigrant. In other cases the at
tempt is made through associ-
ates of the enemy in neutral ter
ritory. The request is sometimes
accompanied by an open OF
yelled threat that those con-
cerned will be sent to q concen-

not be forthcoming.
ORGANIZED PLOT
Evidence which has reach

and the governments of the
United Kingdom and the United
