in our hand

;the most money will be crowned

The greatest service the leaders of
the white people of America can do
is to help them to see their duty,
overcome their prejudices, change
their attitude, to open their eyes and
se duty, justice, equity, philanthropy,
brotherhood, in the light of truth and
as they rightly concern all mankind,
rather than as they concern those
who, at this period are dominating
the world, and why by prejudice are
endangering the happiness and the
very destiny of the world!

I. The King Foretell* HI* Death and
Resurrection (tv. 17-18).
1. On the way to Jerusalem (▼. 17).
This was his last Journey to the be
loved city. He took tho twelve dis
ciples aside from the traveling pilgrims
to make knows tmto them what was
before them.
2. The betrayal and death foretold
(vv. 18. 19). He thus went forward
fully conscious of the awful tragedy
of the cross. This is the third time
since the transfiguration that he told
'he disciples of his suffering and death,
hut they were so filled with their am-’’
hitlous schemes that they did not un
derstand him. The treachery of Jd
■las, the fierce persecutions of the chtei
priests and scribes, the unjust Judd
lent, the delivery to Pilate, the mock
■ry, the scourging, the crown a
horns, the cross, the hanging betwee*
wo malefactors, the nails, the spear-*

2. Greatness among the heathen
(v. 25). The rule of the world has
llways been by the strong hand. Tbt

foday the reason one natioD rules an
other Is that the one possesses sharjmr
rwords and heavier artillery than thi

3. Greatness among Christ's dis
ciples (vv. 26, 27). The standard here
Is a sharp contrast- The way to the
place of prominence In Christ’s king

It la not wrong to be ambitious to be
great but the basis of true greatness
la that which human selfishness seeks
to avoid. There will he degrees of
rank In Christ’s kingdom, but this rank
will be character, not position or au
thority. The spirit of Christ substi
tutes the “greatness of love for thy
