I which grew up under oar economic I have long felt that the Christian body with the most satisfactory name is that small group of devoted, practical mystics who call themselves the Society of Friends. Most denominations have long and awkward names. The Quak ers, however, have a perfect -title. For the comrades of Christ’s way are primarily the friends of Jesus, men and women who aim to live in the spirit of our Golden Text, “You are my friends, if you do w r hat I command you.” Now the lesson gives us glimpses of Jesus in the midst of His friends. We see Him seated on the Mount of Olives. It is daytime, and He is conferring privately and earnestly with Peter, James, John and Andrew. In thirty-three verses Mark summarizes the remarks of Jesus. What he gives is a composite, condensed discourse, a vivid apocalypse or de tailed description of the future. To interpret this colorful chapter is difficult. Scholars do not agree in their findings. But the differences of viewpoint on critical questions need not dim our appreciation of the passage. It sounds, first of all, the note of tragic catastrophe. Jesus warns of the coming of war, treachery, murder, hat red, of the triumph of falsehood, and the dissolution of the universe. His words, of course, must not be taken literal ly, as a mechanical prophecy of definite events in history. But when understood poetically, with the eyCs of the imag ination, they are abundantly true. Secondly, this discourse reveals a profound urgency. Note the seriousness of the Master. “Take care, be on the alert, and pray,” He cries. “Moreover, what 1 say to you I say to all Be wakeful.” But our lesson presents a further picture of Jesus in the House of Friendship. Under a friendly room at Beth any, in the home of Simon the leper, we see Him resting, and witness the striking devotion of Mary, who had come to pour precious ointment u|>on His head. Here, sheltered from a hostile world. He receives his friends, love.
