A NEW CALL
A new note of urgency sounds
in your song.
Bold mocking-bird home from
vacation:
No rollicking roundelay—all day
long
You seem to be telling creation
To wake up and hear,
call on the air,
There’s a job to be done, and
you’re at it;
Vacation is ended and summer j
is gone, !
It’s time to be working —is
that it?
Your silver-streaked wings
must have borne you afar,
Was it out o’er the ocean, (who’ll |
doubt it)
That you have seen something
that keyed your voice high,
And now you are telling about it?
You seem to have business with j
bird, beast and man,
You dart in demanding attention,
There’s a fire in your throat, like
a wild bugle note,
With variations needless to men-:
tion.
Deep down something clicks to
your insistent call,
No matter who’d like to subdue it;
There is a job waiting for loit- j
erers all,
Who must roll up their sleeve j
and go to it!
—B. H. N. !

chool Lesson
By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D.
Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for October 11

LOYALTY TO CHRIST
LESSON TEXT—Mark 2;li-17; John 6:66-
69; Philippian* 3:7-11.
GOLDEN TEXT—What things were gain
to me, those I counted loss for Christ. —
Phlllpplans 3:7.
Loyalty is undoubtedly one of the
finest traits of mankind. Because
of its strength, its fidelity to duty,
etc., shrewd men have learned to
play upon man’s loyalty, making it
serve evil and ignoble ends. Un
worthy causes, having thus gained
the interest of man by fair means
or foul, have demanded blind loyal
ly. Even in the carrying out of
crime there has been the suggestion
that there is some kind of a code
of honor, a loyalty among thieves.
All this does not change the fact
i that there is a high and holy im
| pulse in man to stand true to the
i right; and in the Christian, to be
[ found ever loyal to the Christ, whose
j we are and whom we serve. Faith
in Christ (our lesson of last week)
[ is rightly followed by loyalty to Him.
j It manifests itself in three ways.
I. Following Christ (Mark 2:14-
i 17).
I Without obedience there is no use
talking about loyalty. When Jesus
said: “Follow me,” Matthew (Levi)
, arose and followed. He was a sin
. ner (v. 17), a man of the despised
| calling of tax-gatherer (v. 14), but
he was ready for the call of Jesus.
Notice also that following Christ
i carries with it the privilege and ob
ligation (it is both) of making Him
j known to our friends. Matthew did
j not wait until he had made a new
| circle of friends and then invite
! them to a feast. He celebrated his
entrance upon the new life of faith
by a friendly and effective testimony
| before his friends who were publi
j cans and sinners.
Notice the words of Jesus in verse
17. It is not good people, satisfied
in their own self-righteousness, who
get to heaven. It is sinners, saved
by grace, who will there magnify
the Saviour’s name.
11. Faithfulness to Christ (John
6:66-69).
It is one thing to begin, but quite
another to persevere in well doing.
Jesus had been doing many miracles
and a host of followers had flocked
to Him. He had not only done great
deeds, but had spoken beautiful
i words about the Fatherhood of
j God, the power of the Holy Spirit,
etc. He had fed the five thousand,
and they liked that too.
I But now He had talked about a
broken body, about partaking of
I His flesh and His blood, and they
did not like it. This reached too
deeply into the necessity for a per
sonal spiritual experience, and one
that spoke of sacrifice, and many of
the disciples “walked no more with
him” (v. 66).
How perfect a picture of the “re
ligious experience’’ of multitudes of
men and women in our day.
The true disciple, however, stands
truest in just such an hour. “We
believe,” said Peter, and he spoke
better than ever before in his life.
“We don’t understand everything
(that’s the thought back of “To
whom shall we go?’’), but we be
lieve, and we will stand fast.”
Blessed word of loyalty!
Observe that Peter and his breth
i ren recognized Christ as the “Holy
| One of God," that is, God’s Son in
j a unique and intimate sense, One
| close to and participating in the
; holiness of God. Loyalty will not
! hold on any lessor concept of Christ,
j There is no incentive to real service
and sacrifice in the watered-out re
j ligic’.is faith of the modernistic lib
-1 erai!
I 111. Forsaking All for Christ
(Phil. 3:7-11).
There were a number of things in
the life of Paul as a natural man
of which he was justifiably proud,
but which in the light of his relation
! ship to Christ paled into insignifi
cance. The best this world can of
j fer looks like rubbish (v. B)—which
; it really is—when one catches a
glimpse of Jesus Christ.
} Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look lull In His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely
dim
In the light of His glory and grace.
However, that experience of
! Paul’s was only the beginning of a
life of devotion to the Lord, which
j is expressed in words the depth of
which we cannot fully plumb. What
| does it mean to know “the power of
! his resurrection, and the fellowship
1 of his sufferings, being made com
j fortable unto his death”? We do
, not fully know, but certain we are
j that it speaks of a fellowship with
Christ that is very deep and inti
mate; a life of power, because He
lives in and works through the be
liever; a sharing with Him of the
hatred and bitterness of the world,
yes, of death, if need be, for Him,
in the assurance of resurrection.
This is an “all out” Christian ex
perience, nothing held back, nothing
thought to be too difficult or trying—
everything gladly given in unstinted
love and devotion to Christ. Now
i the Christian church is languishing
for the want of those who will for
sake all to follow Him in complete
j faithfulness.
