LESSON FOR JULY 12
i
GREATNESS THROUGH SERVICE.
LESSON TEXT?Mark 10:32-46.
GOLDEN TEXT?"The Son of men alio
came i.ot to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and to give bis life & ransom
for many." Mark 10:46.
This is a time in the life of our
Lord that vibrates with interest aa
we rapidly approach his laet tragid
week upon earth. At the beginning of
hlB Perean ministiy (Luke 9:51) we
, read that Jesus "steadfastly set his
face to go to Jerusalem." Now that |
Journey is nearly ended. He had i
reached a place near Jericho. Know- 1
ing the antipathy of the rulers, those
who Journeyed with Jesus were J
"amazed," and some as they followed
hint on this Journey were "afraid" j
(v. 32). Jesus, therefore, and for a
third time, plainly telle his disciples
what is about to take place in Jeru- I
salem.
The contrast of self is the dlstiu- I
gulshlng feature of the lesson of j
the self-seeking disciples over against ;
the Belf-renounclng Master.
Assurance of FaHh.
I. The Self-seeking Disciples, vv. 3241.
As JesuB clearly Bpoke to those
who In amazement followed him he
told of his condemnation and deliverance
to the Gentiles; his persecution,
death and resurrection (vv. 32-34). It
was then that James and John presented
their request. Matthew tells
us (20:20) that they made it through
their mother. It was an Ignorant request,
for they knew not what it involved
(v. 38), nor whose it wae to
grant it (v. 40). He had spoken with
great clearness about his suffering
and death and immediately they ask
a position in hlB glory. This may in
m iL i
uiluid uic ttDBuraiiLe 01 meir lauil
in him, but it certainly Intimates that
they did not comprehend the Buttering
of which he had been Bpeaking. We
need to remember, however, that they
believed in that approaching hour of
his glory. They deBired, though, to
have an association with him in his
power and authority, thus showing
their mixture of selfishness, though
Jesus seems to have Ignored it. Was
tliis request Incited by the mother?
Evidently not to a degree, for the Master
addresses his reply to the disciples.
In that reply he does say
that to occupy such a position was
denied them, or might be quite possible.
' What he does lay stress upon
was what was involved and that this
was not the time or place to lay emphasis.
in this new kingdom, upon any
other idea than that of equality.
Jesus then clearly declared all that
was involved lit his pathway of suffering
and propounds his question,
"Are ye able to drink the cup that 1
drink?" (v. 38). It was a heroic but
ignorant answer they made, "We aro
able." Their language reveals the
character, however, of those who did
enter into that fellowship with him
which eventually led them to martyrdom.
lie told them they should be
baptized into a strength to do and live
this life of abandonment, but thut such
a life could not command any preeminence
on that account. Their re- '
quest was otherwise a correct one. In
order to share with Christ in his glory
we must share his cup and his baptism
of shame and suffering; Bee 14:36;
Matt. 26:39; John 18:11; 11 Tim.
3:12; Horn. 8:17; Matt. 16:24. James
and John (v. 39) did not stop to measure
the meuuing of their request.
wanted Placet of Authority.
II. The Self-renouncing Master, w.
41-45. In answer to the indication
(v. 41) of the other ten dlHciples Jesus
without any manifeet impatience
culls the disciples "unto him" and sets
before them their absolute equality,
and yet at the same time a way of exultation.
v. 43. Jesus is ever calling
us "unto him," for he desires to le ?l
us out of lives of selfishness into
those of fulness and service. These
ten were not altogether without selfishness;
they wanted the places of authority
also. Once before, chapter
<?: 33-36. this same controversy had
arisen and was again manifested
(Luke 22:24) and that, too, at a solemn
occasion, as he announced his approaching
death and instituted the
Bupper. It was not till after Pentecost
that it became possible for a disciple
to write "in honor prefer one
another," Kom. 4: 10, Phil. 2:3. This
reply of Jesus to the indignation of
the ten is a teaching by contrast and
accurately describes the Gentile method
of self-advancement. Over against
it ho sets forth the method of the
"3on of Mnn." Till this present day
such are the methods of those who
are of this world only.
- In hie kingdom It is different, greatness
is inverse ratio until we And
the greatest is the one who serves
most perfectly. In emphasizing this
verse (v. 45) it is quite common to
omit the last clause, "and to give his
life a ransom for many." So to omit
it is to neglect his work of redempx
tlon and overly emphasizes the altruistic
aspect of Christianity. Men are
not saved by any such method. Jesus
is the greatest example of & perfect
servant because he did give his
life. \+\ us also remember that tie
gave that life sod that so net took

x tninic we great event, tne nrst
flight of the young, is near at hand.
I go to dinner, and when I return
and am about to enter the barn, the
mother- swallow awwpe down toward
me and calls, ."Sleet, sleet," which 1
take to be her way of saying, "Scat,
teat," and 1 know something has
happened. Looking up to the roof I
see one of the young perched upon
it a few inches from the lower edge.
He looks scared and ill at ease. 1
rast a pebble above him and away he
goes into the free air, his parents
wheeling about him, and leading him
on in an evident state of excitement.
How well he uses his wings on that
tirst flight, swooping and soaring
with but little appearance of awkwardness
or hesitation ! After a few
moments he comes back to the barn
roof and lights on the other side beyond
by sight. During the afternoon
the other three ventured out at intervals
and flew about the interior of
the barn for some time before venturing
outside, their parents Hying
with them and cheering encouragingly.
SILK ORIGINATED IN PERSIA
Considered Fit Only for Women In Tlberiue'
Time and Forbidden
to Men.
Wrought silk was brought from
PerBia to Greece in 325 B. C. It was
known in Rome at the time of Tiberius,,
when the senate prohibited
the use of plate of massive gold, and
forbade men to debase themselves by
wearing silk, fit only for women.
Heliogabalus first wore a garment of
silk in 220 A. D. Silk was at first
of the same value with gold, weight
for weight, and was believed to grow
on trees. Silkworms were brought
from India to Europe in the sixth
century. Charlemagne sent OfTa, king
of Mereia, a gift of two silk vests.
The manufacture was encouraged by
Roger, king of Sicily at Palermo,
when the Sicilians not only bred the
silkworms, but spun and wove the
silk. The manufacture spread into
Italy and Spain, and also into the
south of France a little before the
reitrn of Francis L. ahrmt 1S10? nn.l
o - ? 7 ?
Henrv propagated mulberry trow
and silkworms throughout the kingdom
about 1G00. In England silk
mantles were worn by some women
of the nobility at a ball at f^enilworth
castle in 1'iBG.
MAKES FOR PERFECT DISPLAY
New Idea in Show Windows Seems to
Be the Thing Merchants Have
Long Been Seeking.
A show window which renders objects
on display as clearly visible as
though there were no glass at all has
recently been installed in one of the
big New York department stores,
savs Popular Mechanics Magazine in
an illustrated article. The new
"shadow-box" window eliminates all
reflection and thus avoids the common
and annoying fault in the ordinary
display window which reflects
sky, buildings, street traffic, etc.,
tnore brilliantly than it displays the
merchandise the store offers for sale.
The new type of window, which is
patented is divided into an upper
and lower light, the latter extending
to a height well above the head of a
very tall person, and each glass ia
curved inward. The curve, which
has been determined after careful

KING NOT A REAL BUTCHEF

Tradesman Is Taken for One of
His Subjects.
The king of Saxony is a man ol
democratic tastes, who likes nothing
better than to be taken for one of hn
own subjects. One hot afternoon
when he was out riding, accoinpaniei
by an attendant, he came, it is said
upon a butcher who was trying to re
pair the broken axle of his cart. Thi
king at once offered his assistance
and for over an hour the three men?
