did not hear the conversation he

to heal the rift in their friendship. ,
Silence !
To the question that Jesus , asked
not one oi the desciples had the
courage to answer. Was it because
the Master had discovered then’
jealousy that they would 1 not ans
wer? While the twelve were silent
Jesus prepared himsely for action.
He sat down and called 1 them for
they were the disputers and Jesus
and 1 the twelve seem to have con- i
stituted the whole company. Jesus'
did not, as they might have expected ■
rebuke, but rather re proven, them i
and showed them the better way. He i
told them exactly what constituted I
greatness in the kingdom. He told I
them that “If any man would be 1
first, he should lie least of all. and,
servant of a".” Tn other words any
titan to halve first honor must .be first
in service. The kinedom of God is |
not s kingdom, of self-seeking but of i
sacrifice. I
Erample j
Jesus could) have offered no better I
model than the one he chose. He ]
took a little child probably the son |
of Peter and sat him in their midst i
and 1 threw his arms around him.

ox tne twelve aescipies. Jesus piaiiny
tells him to not interfere wain tne
man for there w no iman who shall
do a mighty work in my name and
be able to quickly to speak evil ol
me. He seems to have wished' to inn-
press upon the mind of John that it
was not for hi to pass upon the
.property or passing upon the acts of
others who were doing the will and
work of the Master. This man, who
ever he was, was doing a great work
He was already casting out demons.
Not only was he casting out the de
mons but he was casting them out in
the name of Jesus. It is very prob
able that he was a Jew .but he was
unknown. The miracle that ho per
formed seems to have been in pri
vate, .but for some reason John had
been a witness .to it. In reporting to
Jesus he said “ihe saw.” John did' not
wait to learn what kind' of man; that

only denied his right to work when
they should have welcomed as a
fellow workman, .but fonbm fvtm to
continue his work. Furthermore, they
were trying to destroy his faith.
They were jealous for their Master’s
honor. They thought that if the man
was to do work in the Master’s name
he should! confess him and ioin their
eircle. It must have wounded, their
dignity to th'nk that an 1 outsider
could db the same thing thev eould,
Their intolerance was not approved
by Jesus. They were to know the
difference between loyalty to Jesus
and arguing over their own narrow
prejudices.
The Rebuke
Very decisive and sternly did
Jesus say forbid him not. He was
doing a good work and it was cer
tainly needed. The only fault the de
sciples could find with him was that
he did 1 not belong to their group and
they felt that they had 1 a monopoly
upon work done in the name of
Jesus. In this assumption they were
entirely wrong. “For there is no man
who shall do a mighty woik in my
name and Ibe able to ouidkly tn
speak evil of me.” The mighty work
noun nets him to 'Christ’s cause. “For
he that is not against us is for us.
This man imav not have belonged to
their circle but be was on their side.
So the two utterances are in per
fect harmony if we only bear in mind
that there is no neutral zone. There
fore we are either for him or we
are against him.
