Jesus Hebukes Self -Seeking ' Mark 9:23-43. After the transfiguration and the healing of the demoniac boy, Jesus and the twelve came south, through Galilee to Capernaum. This took place in the summer of the third year A. D. 29. Parallel accounts to be studied are found in Matt. 18:1-14 and Luke 9:46-50. On the way Jesus, for the second time referred to his passion that he must endure for the Bins of man. (See Mark 8:31). It seems this teaching was beyond their comprehension. He tried to prepare the disciples' mind for those great events that would soon come, and they did not understand the significance of his words, until the first Easter had placed upon them the stamp of glor ious reality. The sin of selfishness is shown in the first four verses of the lesson. This is the sin of all sins; it tried to dethrone God and the devil was the result; it tried to be like God and the fall of man was complete: its sister-sin, covetousness, has brought untold misery to the human race, such as war, murder, disease, drunkenness, divorce, hatred, malice, etc. The master had over heard their quarreling on the way. He hold his peace until they reach ed Peter's house, then he asked them, "What were ye arguing about on the way?" (Weymouth). Christ did not ask for information, but he was arousing their conscience, and pre paring their minds for what would fellow. As they did not answer, he called the twelve the class was called and given an object lesson. This is often necessary, as that seems to be the best way God can teach his children. In the following sentence: "If any man would be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all." note that Christ does not condemn pmbitfon, the desire to be first; only let it be the Christian ambition, the desire to excell In lowly service, in relf-forrretfulncss and self-sacrifice. (Use for illustration John 13:1-10). Following in His steps, we will learn cur lesson. Probably one of Peter's children was called, and how quickly this child would obey the call. A child must put the quarrel ing disciples to shame. A child is the eteranl token and symbol of love. Jesus put his arms around the child, holding it to his breast. We can only get the child's heart by drawing the child close to our heart, as Christ, the child-lover did. The great lesson that Jesus tries to Impress upon his disciples the church is to take good care of the children hence the Sunday school. ' The entire incident, so perfect in its tender beauty, should teach us the value of work for and with child ren, in the home, the school, the church. Nothing pays better than bringing children to Christ. Child ren not only serve as the best exam ple cf the purity, trust and teach ableness which should mark all Christians, but they are the church cf the future. As we guide and de velop them now, we are building the Kingdom of God that is to come. There is no sounder statesmanship than the loving leadership of a little child in the ways of the Savior. Now comes one of the sons of thunder, very much -excited, and proud of a deed done. "Teacher, we raw one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbade him, because be followed not us." O. the pitiful jealousy of some men and churches. Because others subscribe not to their creed, use not their methods, go by come other name, even though they cast cut the demons, lead men to Christ, bring joy and peace and hap piness Into the life and home of many; it is all for naught because "they follow not us," we will have nothing to do with them. This is an old cry: "Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holied than thou." (Isa. 65:5). John regarded the twelve as hav ing a monopoly cn miracle working. He quite forgot the misery of the sufferers, who were relieved, and so thought only of his own dignity. "True likeness to the Savior would lead to rejoicing that the kingdom cf Christ is advanced, whether by a Presbyterian, an Episcopalian, a Bap tist or a Methodist." (Albert Barnes). "Some are so outrageously wedded to their own creed that they would rather let sinners perish than suffer those who differ from them to become instruments of their salvation." (Adam Clarke). "Forbid them not " Jesus, for "he that Is not against us. 13 for us." Just take care not to cause anyone to stumble. Man will put obstacles and traps in the way of others. Strong drink is the world's worst stumbling block worse, even thr.n war. It results in the greatest injury to Christ's little ones, whom he sets before us so lovingly in this lesson, to cherish and lead aright. The "Cup of Cold Water" which Christ holds up as an emblem of lov ing, simple service is the very oppo site of the glass of maddening, bru talizing whiskey. What our nation now is sowing, that will bring a sure harvest of a lower morality, a weak er nation. Net a blesaing, but a curse. Murray on Tuesday, to some business matters. The Tidball Lumber company, of Plattsmouth, was hauling bridge plank from the lumber yard here, a3 they had run out of them and were able to borrow seme here.
