and False Liberality.
i 1. Jesus Teaches True Qreat.ness
<yv. 46-48).
j 1. The occasion (v. 46). A contention
among the disciples as to who
should be the greatest. Jesus had just
announced his coming death on the
cross, admonishing them to let his sayings
sink down into their ears (v. 44).
They were disputing among themselves
as to who would be the biggest man
in the kingdom. The imagination cannot
depict a condition where rebuke
and teaching were more needed.
2. The method (v. 47). He "took a
child and set him by him." Teaching
by object is one of the best of methods.
In this Jesus showed himself to be the i
master teaches. Christ was qualified j
to meet the supreme need of all teach- j
Ing, namely to know the pupil and to !
translate knowledge into terms adapt- j
ed to the comprehension of the pupil, j
He perceived even the thoughts of the j
disciples and met their need. When j
x they were conscious of his knowledge j
of them they were ashamed (Mark
9:34).
3. The teaching (r. 43). (1) "Whosoever
receiveth this chiid in my name
receiveth me." So completely is
Christ identified with those who are
ch:.ldlike%n spirit that he regards treatment
of them as treatment of himself.
(2) "Whosoever receiveth me receivKim
tViot cant ma " Clirict nnrl tllP

Father are one, therefore whatsoever
attitude one has toward Christ he has
toward God. Rejection of Christ is
rejection of God. (3) "He that is
least amor^g you all, the same shall he
great." The one who in self-forgetful
service takes the lowest place is truly
the great one. This is the supreme law
of Christian discipleship. In Jesus we
see the one who was incomparably)
great identifying himself with humani- }
ty. - j
* II. Religious Intolerance Rebuked j
(vv. 49. 50).
1. The case cited (v. 50). The disciples
saw one casting out devils in
Christ's name, but because he refused
to follow them they forbade him.
This spirit is liable to seize those who
are "really zealous for Christ. It often
expresses itself against those who do
not belong to one's particular church
- or sect. In determining whom we
should admit to fellowship two guesti#is
only need be asked (1) Are devils
really being cast out? (2) Are they
being cast out in the name of Christ? ;
The plain implication of Christ's words
in Matthew 7:22, 23 is that one may
even cast out devils and be a stranger
to the Lord. There is a supernatural
work which is not divine, so unless the
mighty works are done "in the name" ;
of Christ a Christian Should not fel- i
lowship the miracle worker.
2. The principle declared (v. 51). "He
that is not against us is for us." This
truth is positively stated in Luke 11:23,
"He that Is not with me is against me."
When it comes to man's attitude toward
Christ there is no neutrality.
III. Resentment Rebuked (vv.51-56).
* 1. Farewell to Galilee (v. 51). As
the time had come for him to he received
up he set his face to go to Jerusalem.
The time of his sacrifice was
come ana Jerusalem was ine piuce |
where it was to be accomplished.
' * 2. The Samaritans refused to receive
him. (vv. 52,53). This refusal was
due to the impression that he was going
to Jerusalem. Their national prejudices
were-so strong that they re- j
garded his action as a national insult, i
therefore refused hospitality to him.!
3. James and John vehemently re- j
sent this action df the Samaritans j
(v. 54). They regarded it as an insult >
v' to their Lord. Their love was so vital !
that an affront to the object of their j
affection was most bitterly resented. I
4. The Lord's rebuke (vv. 55. 56). J
(1) "Ye know not what manner of j
spirit ye are of." He did not minimize j
the insult or question their motive. He j
who knew their hgarts was aware that
they were moved* by love for him. He
told them, however, that such insults 1
were not to be met by violence. Re- j
llgious persecutions are always wrong.
*' The spread of truth is not to be by ;
means of material weapons. (2) "For i
the Son of Man Is not come to destroy
men's lives, but to save them."
* '
A Fiction.
That God being good is the author j
of evil to anyone, that is to be strenuously
denied, and not allowed to be
sung or said in any well-ordered commonwealth
by old or young. Such a
fiction is suicidal, ruinous, impious.?
Socrates, in Plato's "Republic."

still planted tobacco, and raised a
big crop, the amount received from
it was only $2,765,372, the price having
fallen to the lowest figure recorded
since 1909, 7.02 cents per pound.
"The 1915 tobacco crop very nearly
discouraged the planting in this
state. The average price had drop- j
ped from about 11 cents to 7.28 and in
1916 the acreage was cut nearly half.
There was a considerable increase in
price in that year and there was an
anomaious situation. The number of
pounds sold in 1916 was 17,844,000
pounds short of the scales in 19In and
yet the gross receipts amounted to
an increase of $">2,500 over 1915.
"Tobacco has been a wonderful
crop for some counties in South Carolina,
for it is a cash crop and is
harvested between spring grain and
truck and cotton, thus bringing money

months.
