We have spoken of the prophets as deficient in humor; but what they lacked in the amenities of life they made up richly in vision. Each one of them brought to the world a revolutionary idea, and we can not understand truly the significance of the work of Jesus unless we remember that he began where they left off, building on the firm found ations they had laid. Let us glance at them a moment, starting with Moses. What a miracle he wrought in the thinking of his race. The world was full of gods in his day male gods, female gods, wooden and iron gods it was a poverty stricken tribe which could not boast of a hundred at least. Along came Moses with one of the transceifdent intellects of history. ‘'There is one God,” he cried. What an overwhelming idea and how magnificent its consequences. Moses died and the nation carried on under the mom entum which he had given it, until there arose Amos, a worthy successor. > “There is one God,” Moses had said. “God is a God of justice,” added Amos. That assertion is such an elementary part of our con sciousness that we are almost shocked by the suggestion that it could ever have been new. But remember the gods that were current in Amos’s day if you would have a true meas ure of the importance of his contribution. It was the high privilege of Amos to proclaim a God who could not be bought, whose ears were deaf to pleadings in judgment be tween the strong and weak, the rich and poor. Years passed and Hosea spoke. His had not been a happy life. His wife deserted him; heartbroken and vengeful he was determined to cast her off forever. Yet his love would not let him do it. He went to her, forgave her, and took her back. Then in his hours of lonely brooding a great thought came to him. If he, a mere man could love so unselfishly one who had broken faith with him, must not God be capable of as great, or greater for giveness, toward erring human beings? a God so strong that he could destroy, yet so tender that he would nott One God. A just God. A good God. These were the three steps in the development of the greatest of all ideas. Hundreds of generations have died since the days of Moses, of Amos and Hosea. The thought of the world on almost every other subject has changed; but the conception of God which these three achieved has remained in control of men’s thinking down to this very hour.

J. MAYSON, Superintendent. l>y Rfv. diaries E. Dunn, ^ THE GROWTH OF THE KINGDOM Lesson for February 19th. Mark 4:21-34 Golden Text: Isaiah 11:9. Our lesson deals with the spread of Christianity, an expansion that Jesus described in terms of the Kingdom of God. This divine Realm is future, and is to come by the direct, miraculous action of God. But the forces promot ing it, as the lesson makes clear, are even now present. This truth the Master makes evident in two gracious little par ables. The first is the parable of the seed that is cast into the ground and mysteriously springs up by itself into lovely grain. The sower does not need to worry after the seed is cast. He can relax with an easy mind knowing that nature will act of her own accord. But when the corn is ripe, he must act. Now you and I can wait when we have sown our seed. We can allow the influences we have set in motion to slow ly fructify. We can trust in God to finish what we have begun. But when the harvest in due time appears, then we must act. The second is the parable of the tiny mustard seed that becomes a powerful tree, shooting out great branches as a restful, shady lodging-place for the birds. What Jesus means ,of course, is that you cannot judge the success of God’s Kingdom by its humble start. The Cause of God, though inconspicuous at first, is enduring. It has the lat ent capacity of the mustard seed to become a mighty tree, stedfast, hospitable, solid, a continuing joy. This homely parable is a symbol of the amazing growth of the Christian movement. Launched by an ob scure Galilean who was cruelly crucified, it quickly expand ed into a world-wide society to which both Rome and the barbarians who conquered her paid deference. And at the present time it is estimated that the disciples of Christ now equal, if they do not exceed, a third of the human family.
