LESSON FOR JUNE 21
THE GREAT REFUSAL.
I.ESSON TEXT?Mark 10:17-31.
GOI-PEN* TEXT?"Ye cannot serve God
ml mammon." LeV? 16:13. (Read also
entire verse.)
The story of this rich young ruler
Is one out of the ministry of our I^ord
that has made an indelible impression
throughout every succeeding generation.
This is so because It is so vital,
vibrant and vivid a revelation of our
every day experience. The lesson natifrally
divides itself into two sections.
Read carefully the parallel accounts;
Matt. 19:1 H-30 and Luke 18:19-30.
Man of Courage.
I. An Eager Young Man. vv. 17-22.
This man Is an arresting figure. Much
may be said in his favor: (1) Me was
young (Matt. 19:221; (21 He was In
earnest, "came running" (r. 17); i3)
He was educated, "a lawyer." l.uke
18:18; (41 He was rich. Mark 10:32;
<r>> I!p was loved by Jesus. Mark 10:
21 That he had lived a clean life Is
revealed by the answers he made to
Jesus. Moreover he must have been
a man of some courage, belonging as
he did to the ruling class, the Pharisees.
yet he came running Into the
presence of Jeans and cast himself at
his feet. We need but to recall that
this class was at this time definitely
hostile to Christ, yet this young man
dared to speak the conviction of his
heart in this public way by calling
Jesus, "good." We feel that he was an
honest seeker after life. Ills question
reveals the unrest of the human heart.
It matters not what tnen may possess
of wealth or position, these things do
not bring lienrt rest. Great moral
cotirage. noble aapiratlons and benevolence
never will save nor fully satisfy
thrt human soul. Man does not ohtuln
life by doing. Gal. 2:16. I-ife is a gift.
Rem. 6:22. We must not misunderstand
the reply of Jesus (v. 181. Jesus
did not deny being good. John 8:4G:
ld:3ll; 8:28. but he saw that this
voting mun was filled with the idea
ot his^owu goodness To say that Jesus
wrs good was practically to say he
v s God. and this the young man did
nut mean Jesus sought to reveal to
lilm his cureless use of words. Jesus
undoubtedly here lays claim to deity
and subsequently he said. (v. 211 ' follow
me." i e.. for this man to yield
hi t Iff.- actually to the control of God.
Lust week we were taught to "make
friends by means of the mammon of
u* righteousness: that when tt -Jiinll
f 1 tltcv may receive you into the rtern
I tabernrcles." This Is exactly what
C'rist told this young man to do.
Tell . . . give to the poor." By thus
in nig he would store up treasure in
In-1veil. That he oould not stand the
v t is evident from v. 23.
Perils of Richea.
II. The Master's Exhortation, vv.
2 "-31. As a great teacher and philosopher
Jesus took this occasion to point
o:<t the perils of richea. Nearly every
man is willing to run the risk. We
hove. however, but to look about us
to see illustration after Illustration of
the truth of these words. "How hard
I " increased wealth, decreased piety
"'low hurdly"?men seek to tone down
tl Is picture, but have no right so to
d >. The only safety ts found In the ;
words of verse 27. "with Hod all tilings
r e possible." The most severe test
ptssihle to be given to a man's r-dig- 1
icus ext>erlence is for bini to be pros- j
pi red in wealth or position. The rich ;
y. ung ruler is an evidence of the fact
t'*at such a godless life is a restless
C'lC.
Notwithstanding his possessions, ills
refinement, the privileges of his poslt'
mi and n life so cleanly lived as to
leave no vulgar moral scar, yet he exclaims:
"What shall I do that 1 may
inherit eternal life?" It was easier
for the proverbial camel to have en- i
. red ihc city gate tor a literal
needle's eye as yon prefer) than for
this young man to yield to Clod the
control of liis life. Kvery life is under
control. A godless life Is a self-controlled
life. As men came to Jesus he
saw perfectly their individual needs;
their peculiar malady.
The disciples were amazed at the
master's words and thought If a rich i
man cannot be saved there is hope
for none. Such is not the meaning. I
This is revealed in the reply to Peter's '
cucstion. Men are saved Irrespective 1
cf position or of possessions for Clod
loves them all. Those who turn the \
of their lives over to his keepIn.?,
those who. 110 matter what their j
condition or position In life, follow 1
Mrn. leaving all. or bringing all as the
rase may be. will have their reward
hero In this life and In the world to t
comv, eternal life.
The one tiling people most dread Is
poverty, so did Jesus and he saw that
the possessions of this life ao occupy
the time and attention of men aa to
Impoverish their souls. Wealth Is a
trust Cod looks upon every man. as
J. sus beheld this young man. endowed
with great possibilities and covet*
that life for high service. Are we
more anxious to be rich than to be
good? Is it not an evidence of selflshn<
8s to let those come after us distribute
our wealth? To enjoy it, gloat
over It ami to use It for yourself, then
dictate w bo. why. or how others aaa#

WANTED TO ADVISE CAPTAIN
Cranky Paaaongar Thought He Knew
Mere About the 8hip Than Did
the Chief Officer.
"Panic, more or less suppressed,
seizes man)' passengers on an ocean
liner when anything out of the ordinary
happens/* said the ship's oitieer.
"Often they are cranks who
seem to he obsessed with the belief
that their opinions will help navigate
the ship, and who pursue the engineer
or the captain with incessant
advice.
"On our last trip, which was very
rough, one old gentleman tried to
reach the bridge \^iere the captain
was, and bad to be halted by force.
"'Hut I want to ask the captain
al>out the crew/ lie fumed. *ls the
crew trustworthy? What shall we
<lo if we sink? What shall 1 tell my
nnr .
' Two sailors wore detailed to take
liirn below with instructions to remain
and answer his questions."*
"When we reached ]?ort his first,
act was to call on the president of
ihe steamship company for the purpose
of giving notice that he would
never travel on another ship of their
linos. Said he:
"'It was only by a miracle that
any of your passengers reached port
at all. In the midst of all that
storm, with the soa threatening to
swallow us all, your captain slunk
away where not a soul could reuclt
him.
"'I call that negligence!'"
FIRST GREAT NAVAL BATTLE
Overwhelming Victory of the Greeks
Over the Persians Marked Sea
Conflict Centuries Ago.
The first great and decisive naval
battle in history was fought at Salainis,
between the Greek and Persian
fleets, 2,31)3 years ago. J SO B. C.
Thomistocles, the Athenian commander,
had ."? >(> vessels to oppose
the Persian fleet of nearly 2,000 sail.
Pacing such a superior force, most of
the Greeks wanted to sail away, but
Theniislorlos was ilcli>rmiiimt mwin
immediate battle. He sent word to
Xerxes, the Persian king, informing
him that the Greek Heet would attempt
to eseape, and advising him to
guard both ends of the strait. The
Persian monarch followed this advice,
and the Greeks, "bottled up,"
were forced to tight. The battle began
early in the morning and continued
throughout the day. The Persian
king, who hoped to make Greece
a province of Persia as the fruit of
the conflict, "sat on the rocky brow
which looks o'er seal?orn Salamis,"
and gazed down to "where ships by
thousands lay below." Bvron continues:
"He counted them at break
of day, and when the sun set where
were they?" The Greeks were completely
victorious, and on the day
after the battle the hay was covered
with the wrecks of Asia's fleet.
GORILLA AIRSHIP PASSENGER.
A gorilla flew as a passenger in an
aeroplane from Strasburg to Metz
(he other day. The animal is the pet
of a German military airman, who
acted as pilot. The ape at first refused
to l>e tied into the machine,
but submitted after some pcrsua-ion.
Throughout the flight he screamed
ami trembled, and when the machine
landed he was so paralyzed from
fright that he had to be helped out of
the passenger's scat.
POINT OF VIEW.
" 'Tis onlv a goat," murmured the
man, as he strode into the strange
farm.
" 'Tia hutt a man," retorted the
goat, as he went at it in a business

GETTING BEFORE THE PUBLIC.
"That rude person had the assurance
to say that they never read
your books," said the admirer.
"I shall speak to the publisher
aliout it," replied the author, complacently.
"lie will insist on advertising
my works in the literary columns
instead of on the sporting
page."
