Former Murray Resident Writes
Chalk Butte, S. D., June 15.
Mr. M. S. Briggs,
Plattsmouth, Neb.
I want to write you a few lines on
a question that was asked by our t
minister in the adult class of our!
Sunday school of which I am teacher,
He asked the question for us to
answer and we have read a great deal
in the old Bible but so far have failed
to find the answer to the question.
The question was "Who was David's
Mother?" If you will kindly tell me
who it is I will greatly appreciate
it.
I will say I spent the most of my
life r.ear Murray, Neb., coming to
Nebraska when it was a territory. I
was baptized by Cyrus Alton of Elm-

Mark Testifies of Christ
Golden Text: "And they feared ex
ceedingly, and said one to another,
'Who then is this that even the wind
and the sea obey him.' " Mark 4:41.
What Say Ye of the Christ?
Prophets from the beginning told
of the coming of the Christ, the Son
of God, and many were the years and
ages that the people looked for his
coming.
The years and the ages
rolled away and the people of the
world grew very wicked, and - the
mode of conducting worship in the
temple savored only of commercialism
and was a mockery unto God himself.
While the Israelites were in the wil
derness on the long journey back to
the promised land, they maintained
tabernacle worship and looked to God
for righteousness and deliverance
from their oppression, and God smiled
upon them and they finished the
journey and crossed the river Jordan
into the promised land. Here, too, for
a time they continued the worship
of God, but as the years went on
and the magnificent temple was erect
ed, they gradually were drawn away
by the livery and pageantry of the
heathen nations that surrounded
them, and it was then they polluted
the true worship and permitted com
mercialism to enter. Thus the church
itself wandered away from the Lord
God, who led them out of the land
of bondage and gave them the prom
ised land a hind that flowed with
milk and honey and with restraint
thrown to tbe four winds the people
committed many iniquities and forgot
the graciousness of God. .
Reprimands and chidings were
cnl3T effective in reclaiming their al
legiance for a short time, when they
wo.uld wander away again.. Tdany
were true and followed the Lord in
all honesty of purpose, while others
did not, and error crept into the
temple, and form obtained more than
the spirit of the law, until in the
end the Israelitic worship was more
given' to form and commercialism
than to reverence or supplication.
The Coming of the Master
There was never a time in the his
tory of the Hebrews that they were
more religious than at the time of
the coming of Christ, and on the
ether hand, there was never a time
when they were less Christian. Now,
co not mistake, they were exceedingly
religious, but very poor when it comes
to true Christianity and observing the
spirit of God.
They stressed the letter of the law
and forgot entirely the spirit.
Now. comes the Master, in fulfill
ment of the law and the prophecies,
yet even those who were looking for
his coming did not understand, for
they had superficially studied the
prophecies and did not understand the
import of the things which they read
and were so concerned with the
letters and words that they could not
recognize the very things which were
to make them alive. They were look
ing for a temporal instead of a spir
itual savior and therein they erred
mo:.f grossly. '
The Disciples Were Elinded
John the Baptist has come preach
ing repentance and the observance of
the rite of baptism as indicative of
that repentence, and they thought
him the very Christ and were linger
ing on his words, for he had come in
I the style and form of Elijah, and so
J many came out into the wilderness to
see and hear him.
In his preaching he did not spare
to tell them the truth, and said un
to them in bis preaching. "O, genera
tion of vipers, who has warned you
to flee from the wrath to come; Ye
who have sioned the prophets and
killed those who came to tell you the
w ay of life." And as he was preach
ing, Jesus Christ crime and asked to
be baptised. While John the Baptist
would have been baptised of Christ
himself, at the command of the Mas
ter, he baptised Christ, and as he was
coming up out of the water, the Holy
Spirit in the form of a dove, came
own from hea'-en. and alighting cn
him. in a voices the voice of the
Father said: "This is my beloved
son in whom I am well pleased."
Here ia the direct testimony of the
Father to the fact thrt Jesus is the
Christ, the Savior of the world.
Then Mark in his very first sent-en-e
in the book which he has writ
ten, testifying that Jesus is the true
Christ, said: "In the beginning of the
gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of
God." This is Mark's first declara
tion in his gospel, and in the same
lesson we have the testimony of
John the Baptist, who said, "I indeed
baptise you with water, "but there
cometh after me one who shall bap
tise you with the Holy Ghost and
with fire." I
Later in the synagogue, a man
with an unclean spirit was among
the audience, and as Christ was
speaking the unclean spirit cried out
saying: "What have we to do with
thee, Jesu3 thou Nazarene; art thou
come to destroy us? We know whom
thou art: thou are the Holy one of
God." This testimony, mind you,
I came from tne very enemy oi me
! souls of men.
I Again, when Christ was preaching
and the people were crowded very
compactly about him. four neighbors

neither would disease or death) "Son.j
thy sins are forgiven thee." To this
remark the Jews objected and said in !
their minds. "This man is a bias-!
phemer." Their thoughts were known i
to the Master and he said unto them,!
"Which is easier to say, 'Thy sins pre!
forgiven thee' or 'Arise and walk?'
But, that you may know the Snn of
man hath authority to forgive sins.
I say unto thee. 'Arise, take up thy (

Master of Ocean, Earth and Skies
There was to be "a great feast at
Jerusalem and vest throngs of peo-,
pie were traveling thither and as
they v, ere on their way, the Masier
and his disciples had gone to the
shore of the sea of Gallilee, where he
was teaching the little band, but
when he looked up he saw a multi
tude gathered to hear what he had"
to say, and he remarked: "Behold a
field white unto harvest and the reap
ers are few." Then he preached to
them during the day and when even
ing came and they vere weary and,
hungry, he fed them by another mir-1
acle that demonstrated his power
o.er all things, and sent them cn ;
their way. As night was come. wilh.
the disciples, he entered a boat ar d !
as they were crossing the sea. a sud

was asleep in the rear of the boat,
and they hastily awoke him, saying.;
Teacner, carest not tnou tnat we
perish?"' And the all powerful man
of Gallilee Son of God spoke unto
the turbulent waters which were roll
ing high and threatening to engulf
the little boat. "Peace, be still." To
this command from the Master, the
elements were passive, and immecii-'
ately there was a great calm. Then
did the disciples inquire one of an-1
other, "Who then is this that even '
the wind and the sea obey him?" . j

where he was transformMl before the
disciples and his garments became
like the liht, the very mijesty of
the Castor shining throrgh t lie cloth
ing and body. He was talking with
Moses and Elijah about the cruci fic
tion that was to come. The glory of
the Lord shone with such splendor
that the disciples could not look upon
the Master and the t'vo who had come
down from heaven to converse with
him. This scene was one that testi
fied beyond ar.y doubt that Jetsus was
the Christ, the Son of God.
And so we ceuld go on enumerat
ing case after case where he per
formed miracles such as the worl 1
had never seen before, demonstrating
his ability and power given from on
i
high.
I'eier testified that when Christ
h.ad met them on their return from
a toir and was asking them what
the people said about him and many
answers were given the inquiry, that,
the Master to elieit an expression of
their understanding of his character,
asked of them: "What think ye of m".
the Son of man?" Peter, who seemed
enlightened beyond the others, said:
"Thou art Jesus, the Christ, the So:i
of God."
And so through the ages, down to
the present day comes that same
important question: "What think
you of the Christ?"
Thus ends the review lesson for the
second quarter, and with Ihe begin
ning of July we will go back to a
study of the Old Testament.
