story If the four gospels are alike,
why repeat? And if they are diff
ferent, which is right? Most of the
problems involved cannot even be
raised here. But there is room to
set down a few notes on that one
question: What is the point of hav-
ing four gospels?
Gospels and Gospel
The conclusion to which the early
church came, and for which we
may well be grateful, is that there
is only one Gospel, but four Cos
pels. Adopted at a very early date
were the headings we still read:
The Gospel: according to Matthew,
according to MARYLAND so on. The
gospels tell different stories. but
the story is still the same. They
all bear witness to the same Christ
Just as in a courtroom trial it is
important if possible to have more
than one eyewitness report of an
accident, it is valuable to have
more than one report Of the life,
character and teaching of Jesus.
But just as, in court, it would
raise suspicion if all the eye-wit-
nesses agreed on all details, so it
would raise suspicion and be Of no
help if all our gospels agreed on
details. The essentials of the four
gospels are all the same; and the
variations add to our knowledge.
1t is plain that the early church
must have thought that each gospel
had something indispensable, or

Four Gospels
Lesson for January 6, 1857

It HE story of the Wise Men who
L came to see the baby Jesus is
so familiar that this column will

the background of all study of the

next three months. The existence
of four gospels raises a very an

else they would never have kept it.
1t should be remembered that our
four gospels were not the only ones
in existence. The early church did
a good job of sitting. as any one
can see who will take the trouble
to read some of the fantastic or
dull productions the church re-
iected. (See The ApOcryphal New
Testament, in any large libraryD
Portraits
Not one of the gospels is what in
modern times would be called a
"defnitive biography" of Jesus-a
story so complete that no one
would ever bother to investigate
further. They are not biographies
at all. They are not photographs,
they are more like portraits. A
commercial photograph is neu-
trail sort of thing. A portrait is an
Interpretation. Mark interprets
Jesus as the mighty Son of God
with power. Very little teaching is
reported by Mark-it is all action.
and rapid action too. Luke'S por-
trait is of the broad humanity Of
Jesus. his sympathy with all men,
with women and children too He
gives us Jesus, the ideal human be-
ing. Johns portr ait interpretS
Jesus as the divine Son of God, in
constant touch and harmony with
the Father on high. doing the
works of God and teaching the
truth of God. In other gospels
Jesus teaching is, so to speak, in
his own name In John the reader
is never allowed to forget that it
is all the teaching of God. Matthew
combines the wonder-worker and
the teacher in one portrait; Jesus
appears as the One with Authority.
From the very beginning, where
Jesus is presented as the scion of
kings. to the end where he is given
"all authority in heaven and
earth" he moves with majesty and
power.
Viewpoints
Not only are the portraits diff
ferent. but the viewpoints of the
four gospels are varied. Two fea-
lures of Matthew's point of view
will be evident all the way along.
One is that he tries to interest
Jewish readers. He quotes the Old
Testament more often than any
other gospel; he traces Jesus fam
lily tree back to Abraham through
the Hebrew kings quite a contrast
to the family tree given by Luke.
To this day it remains one of the
best gospels for interesting Jews
in the life of Jesus. The other fea-
ture is that while Matthew begins,
as it were, on the small stage OF
the Jewish people, he does not re-
main there. The Christ who comes
first only as heir to the throne OF
David. is at last seen to have the
very authority of God himself. AL
ready in the gifts of the wise men
Matthew hints his truth: Christ is
Lord of all men everywhere.

Fire Prevention is forcefully

Mr. Favinger declared. I'VE must
place more emphasis on year-round
safety in the home, in schools and
at work if we want our program to

disasters over the country in the

caused by carelessness and inn
proper checking of facilities
