T ?OLDEN TEXT?The Son of Man came * V . not to be ministered unto, but to minis- N t tor, and to five bis life a ransom for f many.?Mat. 20:2S. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL?Mark 10: Bbm. 12 Phil. 1:5-11; I Peter, " bdWL'? PRIMARY TOPIC?Jesus Washing: the Disciples' Feet JUNIOR TOPIC ?Jesus Taking the * Place of-* Serramt INTERMEDIATE TOPIC-The Edynlty ef Common Tasks. f. Christ's Amazing Love for His Own (vy. 1-8). Jesus was fully conscious of what was upon him. B[e knew that the cross with all its anguish was just before him. He knew that his disciples would shamefully forsake him in a few hours. He knew that one of that number would be the instrument in the hands of the devil in his betrayal. He knew that all things were in his hands; was fully conscious of his deity. Notwithstanding all this, he displayed patient and untiring love. He did not withdraw his love from them because of their weakness and the shameful fail, ure which he knew would soon be made manifest. II CKrict War.hinn H?? Discinlet* vr ; Feet (w. 4-11). This act is symbolic of his amazing love for his disciples. Jesus did not regard his hands as too holy to do this menial service. The true Christian does not allow his rank in society to keep him from acts of lowly service. 1. Steps in this service: (1) He rose from supper. (2) laid aside his garments, (3) took a towel and girded himself, (4) poured water into a k basin, (3) washed his disciples' feet, (6) wiped them with a towel wheref with he was girded. These steps symbolize Christ's entire work of redemption. His rising from supper repre\ oents his rising from his place of enjoyment in the heavenly glory: his laying aside his garments, his putting aside his vesture of majesty (Phil. 2:7, $); his girding himself, his taking the form of a servant (Phil. 2:7); the wa- <? ter in the basin, his cleansing blood; his washing of their feet, his actual cleansing of men through his Word p (John 15:3; Eph. 5:20); his taking his a garments again, his retc: n to his place b and position of glory. s< 2. Peter's impetuous ignorance. He s< ' goes, from one extreme to another. It y in his failure to understand the sig- a nificance of this service that caused r him to behave<so strangely. . 3. The significance of this service c to those who participate In it. (1) It y is a spiritual cleansing (v. 8). Fellow- ship with Jesus is only possible as we are continually cleansed from our sins. "He that is washed needeth not save , to wash his feet, but is clean every whit" (v. 10). The cleansing here is not the washing of regeneration, but that of sanctification. Even regenerate folks need the continual cleansing of Christ's blood in order to have fellowship with him. He that is regenerated?washed in the blood of Christ, symbolized by baptism?does not Deed a repetition of the act; he only needs the cleansing of sanctification, symbolized by the washing of the feet. As we go through this world after regeneration we are contaminated by its sins. He is willing always to< cleanse us of pur sins if we allow him. (2) A badge of brotherly affection. This - act showed his abandonment to the service of his own. This is a lesson that is ranch needed today. We need Q more and more the fulness of brotherly love. This love needs to be man- p Ifested so that It may be seen and re- " alized. True love can only be proved f by the service It renders. (3) A proof n of humility. This is a lesson much ?] needed by us all. The disciples had just been disputing as to who should be the greatest in the kingdom; their selfish ambition was expressing itself. Today, on every hand, we see expres sions of pride, vanity, and even arrogance on the part of those who are J professed followers of the lowly Jesus. ^ If the Son of God was not ashamed to stoop to lowly service his disciples should not regard it beneath their dignity to follow In his steps. (4) Equalization. As they would thus stoop to serve each other in the ijame of Christ i there would be sure destruction of i caste among them. The Spirit of ! I Christ in this service is the great lev- | ! eler of humanity. i0 111. An Example for Us (vv. 32-l<3). j P The disciples of the Lord are under jp< obligation to do unto each othef as j e< he did unto them. This obligation vests fj upon his Lordship (r. 14). All who p call him Lord In sincerity will obey him. To refuse to obey him is to put one's self above his Lord. fc BearinQ the Burden.* H As to the burden, be content to bear b; it, until thou come to the place of jS deliverance; for there it will fall from i B thy back of Itself.?Bnnyati. c] Our Troubles. is All our troubles come from our sense of sepnrateness from the infinite j f< source.?Orison Swett Marden.

Cannot Praise this Remedy too Highly THE WAY ONE LADY FEELS AFTER SUF7EKIII& TWO YEARS Judging: from her letter, the misery and wretchedness endured by Mrs. Charlie Taylor, R. F. D. No. 1, Box 144, Dillon, S. C., must have been terrible. No one, after reading her letter, can continue to doubt the great healing power of PE-RU-NA for troubles due to catarrh or catarrhal conditions in any part of the body. Her letter is an inspiration to every sick and suffering maii or woman anywhere. Here it is: "I suffered two years with catarrh of the head, stomach and bowels. Tried two of the best doctors, who gave me up. 1 then took PE-RU-NA and can truthfully say I am well. When I honrun tn -nco PF-TJTT-NA. T weighed one hundred pounds.
