TOUNO PBOPL.K AND ADUI.T TOPIC Mark's Contribution to Christianity. I. Mark' Home Life (Acta 12:12). He had the wholesome Inlluenco of a Christian home, for his mother was godly woman. There Is no heritage to be compared to that of a godly tome. Nothing ha nt- !i a far-reach-'!; Influence upon the life of a young man as the memory of a praying moth .r. liven when it was so perilous to be known ns a follower of Jesus, she vviib not afraid to have a prayer meet ing In her home. II. Mark With Jesus In Gethsemane (Mark 14:01, 52). At the sight of the Roman guard, the disciples "all forsook Him and fled." This timid lad still followed the Lord till laid hold on by the young men. He then lied, leaving behind him his linen garment, This Geth semnne experience doubtless had a decided effect upon his life. III. Mark a Servant of Paul and Darnabas (Acts 12:25-13:5). Mark was with the company when Peter told of his wonderful releaso from prison. This, doubtless, made a f,reat Impression upon him nnd was the beginning of his desire to accom pany the missionaries of the cross. He was not a missionary on the samo footing as Paul nnd liarnubas, but an attendant upon them to look after their needs. IV. Mark Deserting Paul and Barna bas (Acts 13:13) We are not told the cause of this desertion. Three conjectures, one or all of which had u bearing upon his action, aro offered. 1. Homesickness. Ills home wna of easy circumstances If not wealthy. As they were carrying the gospel Into the rough, mountainous country, occupied by rough, half-civlllzed people, tho mettle of this young servant was tried. We ought not to condemn him too readily, for we know how trying It Is to leave home when struggling against the rough world. While sympathizing with him, we must remember that duty Is stronger than the tender ties of life. The time conies when the sol dier must spurn the ties which bind him to father, mother, wife and chil dren, In response to the call of duty. The missionary must turn his back upon home, native land, and friends In his devotion to his Lord. 2. Disbelief In Foreign Missions. There was a common prejudice among the Jews against taking the gospel to the Gentiles. When he snw that these missionaries were going to the "re gions beyond," his prejudice may have caused him to turn back. 3. Cowardice. Tho dangers before them were not Imnglnury but real. Tho missionary today faces awful dan gers: climate, wild beasts, deadly ser pents and Insects, and savage and can nibalistic men. However, fear is no excuse for cowardice because we nro linked to the Almighty by faith ; tlicro Is nothing in heaven or on earth that can harm us. Courage la required of those who would do tho Lord's work. V. Mark With Peter In Babylon (I Pet. 5:13). Seme yoars after Mark's desertion, when Paul and Darnabas were arrang ing for n second evangelistic tour, they had a sharp dlsputo over the question of taking Mark with them. Paul would not consent to Mark's nc compnnylng them, so "they depnrtcd asunder ono from the other." Mark went with his uncle. Dy this time ho must Iinve been cured of his covvurdlco for we see him associated with Peter In Dnbylon. VI. Mark Honored by Paul (II Tin?. 1:11). Paul Is now an old man In prison. Marl; Is a middle-aged man assoclnteA with Timothy nt Kphesus. Mnrk had proved" himself, for Paul gives tho pleasing testimony that "he Is profit able unto me for the ministry." Mark Is an example of one who made good In spite of his early bacL'slldlng. Heroism. The world's battlefields have been In the heart chlelly; more heroism has been displayed In the household and ihe closet than on the most meuiorablo batllellelds of history. 11. V. IJeecl.er. You Must Be Calm. The language of excitement is at best but picturesque merely. You must be calm before you can utter oracles. Thorcau. Little People. I love these llttlo people and It Is not a slight thing, when they, who nro so fresh from (Sod, lovo us. Dickens. Qreatness and Truth. If nny man seeks for greatness, let him forget greatness and ask for truth, nnd he will Und both. Horace Mann. y j a Wl I'l H i? 1
