FITZWATER, D.D., Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) ((c). 1928. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for April 1 JESUS THE SUFFERING MESSIAH LESSON TEXT—Mark 8:27-38. CrOLDSN 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 Je sus. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—The Cost of Beiner Loyal to Christ. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Jesus Interprets His Messiahship. 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 Rlijah, 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 acknowl edgment Had He been satisfied with this He would not have been molested in Jerusalem, for the Jews willingly acknowledged Him as much more than a human teacher. 2. “Who say ye that I am?” (vv. 29, 39). 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. Jesus’ Teaching Concerning the Cross (vv. 31-33). Ho charged the disciples not to make public His Messiahship as that would precipitate the crisis. The dis ciples had much need of instruction yet. to prepare them for the crucial hour of the cross. 1. What He taught (v. 31). (1) “The Son of Man must suffer many things." He sutTered physical weariness and hunger, ridicule and contempt and even misunderstanding. (2) “Be rejected of the elders, chief priests and scribes.” 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 His own and His own received Him not (John 1:11). (3) “Be killed.” This announce ment was startling to the disciple?. They had not yet come to realize that redemption was to be accomplished through the passion and the cross. (4) “Rise again.” Though this was utterly incomprehensible to the dis ciples, He showed them that this would be the glorious 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 later 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- tluence of the devil. III. Jesus Going to Jerusalem to Die (Mark 10:32-34). Jesus went to Jerusalem with the consciousness of the awful tragedy the cross before Him; the treachery of Judas, tiie fiery persecutions of the priests, the unjust judgment, the de livery to Pontius Pilate, the mocking, tiie 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 one’s back upon the world. To repudiate the -world means to incur the hatred of the world; to be Chris tians means to share Christ’s suffering. 1. There must be denial of self (v. 34). There is a wide difference between self-denial and denial of self. All people pra'cti<?£ self-denial, but only Christians deny self. 2. The croSs must be taken up (v. 34). This means the suffering and shame which lie in the pathway ol loyalty to God. To live the godly life means suffering (U Tim. 3:12). 3. Christ must be followed (v. 34) This means to have the mind ol Christ (Phil. 2: 5) and to perform the service of Christ The blessed issue of following Christ Is a life of free dom here and now, and eternal life hereafter. i>uy y rv *r ^r from us.

Kellogg In Favor Anti-War Treaty Secretary Expresses Hope Present Negotiations With France W'ill Result In Treaty Against War NEW YORK.—Placing the Amer ican government formally on record in favor of an unqualified anti-war treaty between the great powers of the world. Secretary Kellogg said in an address here March 16th, that if the principal nations are united ’n a sincere desire for such a compactv a formula could be devised acceptable to all. The secretary spoke before the Council on Foreign Relations and took for his subject the war preven tion policy of the United States and the treaties and proposed treaties wh'ch had been advanced ; n favor of world peace. He coupled his advocay of an an ti-war treaty with the emphat : c statement that the American govern ment “will not become a party to ar y agreement which directly or in directly, expressly or by implication, is a military all'ance.” Mr. Kellogg expressed the hope that the present negotiations with France which have as their object the conclusion of a general anti-war treaty would be successful ultimate ly. The common people of the world were of one mind, he believed, in j their desire to see the abolition of | was as institution, and he peldg- ed himself, both personally and of ficially, always to support and ad vocate the conclusion of appropriate treaties for arbitartion, for consol ation, and for the renuciation of war. “I must not claim ” he said “that treaties of arbitration and- concilia tion, or even treaties explicitly re nouncing war as an instrument of nr.t'onal policy afford a certain guar anty against those conflicts between nations which have periodically brok en out since the dawn of history. In addition to treaties there must be an aroused public conscience against the mi. . - . . T utter horror and frightfulness of , Th ’ nk hea™g-. *>n the way war.

THE SHOCK OF LOSS Fire does the unexpected. said, and treaties such as I have dis- 1 cussed, and the efforts of statesmen to advance the cause of woild peace can only be regarded as portion of the problem. I am not so blind as to believe that the millennium has ar rived, but I do believe that the world is making great strides toward the pacific adjustments of international deputes. Explaining that in the present treaty negotiations it was the pur pose of the United States in so far as possible to eliminate was as a factor in internat onal relations, Mr. Kel logg said the Un’ted States cannot obligate itself in advance to use its armed forces agjainst any other na tion of the world. The United States does not believe that the peace of the world or of Europe, depends upon or can be assured by treaties of mil itary alliance, the fut lity of which as guarantors of peace ; s repeatedly demonstrated in the pages of history, he said. The arbitration treaty with France recently ratified by the senate, as well as other tieaties, were discuss ed at length by Mr. Kellogg who said it was diff : cult for him to see by what claim a government could pro perly request arbitration of disputes covered by the four exceptions stip ulated in the treaty, including the Monroe Doctrine, since fewV if any, The Hartford Fire Insur ance Company is absorb ing these financial shocks daily.

It is this kind of treaty wh'ch people have in mind when they dis cuss treaties for outlawing war. and it is a novel idea in modern inter national relations.” Outlining the proposal of the French pienrer, Aristide Briand, for a bilateral treaty which would con demn recourse to war and renounce it as an instrument of national pol icy, Mr. Kellogg said this important and inspiring proposal was carefully and sympathetically studied. “While we might well have hesi tated to take the initiative in propos ing such a treaty to Europe,” he continued “the invitation from France afforded us an opportunity to examine anew the whole question of world peace and to determine in what practical manner we could best co-operate.” The secretary told of his sugges tion to Fiance that the treaty be an equivalent multilateral treaty con cluded among the principal powers, including besides France and the United States. Great Britain, Germ any, Italy and Japan. France has agreed in principle, he said, but sug- ge tcJ the treaty provide only for trouble, backache and constipation often caused by Rupture promptly disappear.
