DRIFTING FROM RELIGION. • THE UNEMPLOYMENT CRISIS. CALIFORNIA’S GOOD ROADS. Men are interested in . animal genealogies. Ants* wasps and other insects have developed marvelous in herited knowledge, which we foolish ly call “instinct,” because they were millions of years before men came. * Science shows that men will con tinue on earth, barring catastrophe, at least 100,000,000 years more. Some day babies will be born in heriting accumulated knowledge and ready to attack new problems. That will be a race worth while. +—— — Read Fabre’s account of surgical operations performed by mud wasps that never saw father or mother, took no lessons and were born tb know how. .

Our nation and race are threatened. He.is sure of it. S :rnc centuries ago earnest, Well-jneaniug priests of Greece and Rome were saying the same-thing. And when Christianity came along those ancients were sure the world was going to the dogs. They went, but the world improved. . 1 \ .

In the automobile industry today thirty- three met1 do as much as 100 could do in 1914. thanks to improved ma chinery and methods. Next year California will spend seventy-eight million dollars on good roads, and California has more good roads' than any other State already. In consequence, California leads in automobile ownership, which means family comfort. If other States, with good roads, could built up automobile ownership as California has done, there would be sixty million ii^Vle‘ati ~of-twenty- four million automobiles running' in this country. Other States might think that over. Improved Uniform International Lesson (By REV. P. B.'FITZWATER, D.D.. Dean _Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Oliver Wendell Holmes, able Supreme Court Justice, who realizes that The" Constitution was made by and for men, not men for the Con stitution, is seventy-eight years old. H(f continues working, obeying his motto, “rest is not the destiny of ward Justice Holmes if he could tell what the destiny of man really IS, how we got here, whence we carat, whither we go from here, what hap pens after we go.. But about such questions a learned Supreme Court Justice knows at little as an Eskimo watching for seals in the ice hole. * * * Science and religion are and most remain separate. Science gradually reveals to men that which they can explain and understand. Religion, which changes as men’s civilization changes, represents the effort to know and understand that which men can never know or understand. Reli gion, destined to remain a matter of faith, never to be proved, is at least as important as science. Science gives knowledge, safety and wealth. -Religion gives peace. Lesson for April 1 JESUS THE SUFFERING MESSIAH LESSON TEXT—Mark 8:27-38. GOLDEN TEXT—Whoever will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus the Great • Hero. __JUNIOR TOPIC—The Heroism of Ja- •ua. : INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP- IC—The Cost of Being LoyaU to Christ. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Jesus Interprets His Messlahshlp, I. Peter’s Confession of Christ (vv. 27-30). Two questions of Jesus provoked this confession.. 1. “Who do men say that I am?” (vv. 27, 28). This ques tion referred to the opinions of the people regarding Jesus. Some believed Him to be John, the Baptist, some Elijah, and some, one of the prophets. They all recognized Him to be a teacher or prophet with more than human ^authority and ‘power. Jesus was not content with this *ackpowl- edgment. Had He been satisfied with fids He would not have been molested in Jerusalem, foV the Jews willingly acknowledged Him as much more than a human teacher. 2. “Who say ye that I am?” (vv. 21), 30). Jesus per sistently claimed to be the God man, the very Son of God incarnate. He wanted the personal opinion of the disciples concerning Himself. II. JesusN^Teaching Concerning the Cross (vv. 31-33). He charged the disciples not To make public His Messialis-hip as that would precipitate the crisis. The dis ciples had much need of instruction yet. to* prepare them for the crucial hour of the ceoss. r - • 1. What He taught (v. 31). (1) “Tiie Son of Man must suffer many things.” He suffered physical weariness and hunger, ridicule and contempt and even misunderstnndinn. (2) “Be rejected of the elders, chief priests and scribe's.” These were the nation's official representatives. - the very ones who should have known and received Christ and recommended His reception on the part of the na tion. Truly He came to IBs own and Hijrown received Him not (John 1 :11). (3) “Be killed.” This announce ment was startling to the disciples. -ITtey had not yet come to realize that redemption was to .be accomplished jimjugh—Ute—pussum- and- the c’rosfc. (4) “Rise again.” Though this 1 was utterly incomprehensible to the dis- clples, 'He snowed them “Thai this would be the glorfous issue of His death., 2. How the disciples received His teaching (v. 32). So unwelcome was His teaching touching the cross that Peter, the spokesman of the disciples, rebuked Him. Peter Inter saw through this darkness the light of glory on the hilltops beyond (I Pet. 1:3, 4). 3. Jesus rebukes Peter (v. 33). He told Peter plainly that his attitude was due to his being under the in- lluence of the devil. HI. Jesus Going to Jerusalem to Die (Mark 10:32-34). Jesus went to Jerusalem with the consciousness of Urn. awful tragedy of the cross before HlmUTlie treachery of Judas, the fiery persecutions of the priests, the unjust judgment, the de livery to Pontius Pilate, the mocking, the Scourging, the crown of thorns, the cross between malefactors, the nails and the spear all were spread before Him. He moved on to His goal, not by external necessity but a fixed purpose. He had not only come “to minister but to give His life a ransom for many.” The joyous out look of the victory which was to be accomplished through the shedding of His blood led Him forward (Heb. 12:2). IV. The Cost of Discipleship (Mark 8:34). The law of the Christian life Is suf fering. To follow Christ means -to turn ODje'fr back upon the world. To repudiate the world meant to incur the hatred of the* world; to .tie Chris tians means to share Christ’s suffering. 1. " There must be denial of self (v. 34). There Is a widedifference between self-denial and denial of self. All people practice self-denial, but only Christians deny self. . 2. The cross must be taken up (¥* 34). This means the suffering and shame which lie in the pathway of loyalty to God. To live the godly life means suffering (II Tim. 3:12). 3. Christ must be followed (v. 34). This means to have the mind of Christ (Phil. 2: 5) and to perform the service of Christ. The blessed Irsue of following Christ is a life of free dom here and now, and eternal life hereafter.
