ALL IN VAIN
The young lawyer had just hung
up his sign. That morning a strang
er entered. The man asked to be
excused as he hurried to his tele
phone.
1 Taking down the receiver, he said;
i“Yes, this is Mr. Whoosit. Yes, I
I will be ready for you at 2; 10 this
afternoon. But please be prompt,
for I am very busy. Two hundred
dollars? Yes, that was the estimate
I gave you.”
Hanging up the receiver, he turned
to the stranger, and, rubbing his
hands, asked: ‘‘Now, sir, what can
1 do for you?”
“Nothing,” replied the stranger. ‘T
came to connect your telephone.”
PAST TENSE
"You don’t think I look thirty,
dear?”
“Not now, darling. You used to.”
For the Duration
It was at Bordeaux after the
Armistice in 1918. One of a work
detail was a little slow about un
loading a box car. “All right, sol
dier, snap into it,” said the ser
geant.
"Aw, shucks, sarge,” he replied,
“I enlisted for the war, and it’s
over."
“Yeah,” replied the sergeant, "you
enlisted for the war all right. But
you enlisted for the duration, too.
The war’s over, soldier, but the
duration has Just begun.”
Take It Easy
A parrot lived in the bar of an inn,
and was accustomed to note the rush
of business every Saturday night.
One Saturday it left its cage to
explore the neighborhood, and was
eventually found in a field surround
ed by crows, who were busily de
priving it of its feathers.
When the rescue party arrived, the
parrot was heard ejaculating; “One
at a time, gentlemen, if you please.
One at a time; you’ll all be served."
Acid Test
The U. S. civil service commis
sion has a very simple and rapid
test for stenographers now.
The candidate for a job is ush
ered into a room which has three
things in it; a washing machine, a
typewriter and a machine gun.
If the girl recognizes which is the
typewriter, she's hired.
The Leavings
Man (leaning out train window)— !
Here boy—take this 50 cents and get
me a sandwich; get yourself one
with the change.
Boy (returning just as train is j
pulling out, chewing wildly on a ham i
on white) —Here’s your quarter, mis
ter. They only had one sandwich.
WITHOUT BENEFIT?
“There are times when benefit
may be derived from the advice of 1
a fool.”
“You certainly shouldn’t complain.
Haven’t I always listened to yours?”
Broadly Speaking
Jones—Have you seen Lem lately? I
Smith—No, what’s wrong with
him?
Jones—He’s gotten terribly thin.
I’m worried about him.
Smith—That’s nothing. Why, I’m
thin myself.
Jones—Yes, you’re thin and I'm ;
thin, too. But Lem is thinner than
both of us put together.
. Eavesdropper
Mother (to her small daughter,
saying prayers)—A little louder,
please. I can’t hear you.
Daughter—Yes, mother, but I'm
not speaking to you.
Modest Chap
"From his manner that man must
hold a very important position.”
"Well, no—that’s only the way he
feels about it.”

OUR LORD’S INTERCESSORY
PRAYER
LESSON TEXT—John 17:1-8, 18-28.
GOLDEN TEXT "Holy Father, keep
I through thine own name those whom thou
I hast given me, that they may be one, at we
are.”—John 17:11.
There are some times and places
so sacred that one is instinctively
hushed into reverent devotion. When
Christ prayed in holy intercession (as
recorded in John 17) on the night
before His suffering His disciples
must have been lifted into the very
presence of the Eternal One. It v?as
a holy experience.
He prayed for Himself, but even
more did He pray for His believing
followers. To know that someone
is praying for us is indeed an anchor
in a time of storm, a strong help i
in the hour of conflict or of service
for Christ.
But to know that the Master
prayed for you and me—that is
enough to send us, like the disciples
of old, out to face an unbelieving
world in His conquering name. He
prayed for Himself—and He prayed
for me!
I. Ho Prayed for Himself (vv. 1-8). ,
He looked up and said: “Father,”
and then He was ready to pray. So
close was He to God that there was
just this simple recognition of their
communion. In Christ are we not
as close as He?
What did Jesus ask for Himself?
At first thought it seems a little un
usual that He asked
1. For Recognition of His Divine
Glory (vv. 1-5).
Why would He who had just given
the disciples an example of and an
admonition to humility desire to
have His glory manifested? Be sure
it was not a matter of selfish pride.
He had finished His work (for He
counted redemption as complete
throughout His prayer), and now the
glory which He laid down when He
came to earth (Phil. 2:6-8) was to
be resumed.
He wants man to see Him now not
only as the compassionate Son of
man, but the glorious Son of God,
able to save. It is right that the
glory of Christ should be magnified
and recognized by the whole crea
tion. He is worthy!
2. For the Manifestation of His
Grace (vv. 6-8).
The Father had given Christ the
heart devotion of those who believed
in Him. Note that their faith rested
on the name of God (v. 6), and
upon His Word which had come to
them and to us through Christ.
He recognized their position and
standing in Him and established it
before God and man. He then
prayed for them (read vv. 9-17) that
they might be kept in an evil
world as a testimony to the grace
and power of God in the human
heart.
This leads to His intercession for
all believers.
11. He Prayed for All Believers
(vv. 18-26).
Christians are not simply the
avowed adherents to a particular
form of belief, they are "sent” ones.
As the Father sent Him into the {
world, "even so send I them into
the world,” said Christ.
Christ has gone to be with the
Father, but He has left those who
believe in Him as His witnesses, His
j representatives. For this they need
holiness. He prayed:
1. For Their Consecration (vv. 18,
I 19).
For their sakes He consecrated
Himself. Surely if He needed it, we
do far more. It is not only His will
for us, but His prayer. How won
derfully that prayer was answered
we see as we look back over the
intervening 19 centuries, from His
| immediate disciples on through the
1 martyrs, the missionary pioneers of
all ages, the faithful preachers and
teachers of the gospel, yes and "liv
ers” of the gospel too. He knew,
He prayed. God answered. Are you
in that blessed host of consecrated
j believers?
2. For Their Unity and Glory (vv. |
20-26).
There is a refreshing simplicity
about the Christian faith which is
} utterly different from all the com
plications which man has prepared
j and superimposed upon it. Essen
tially it is a matter of God having
I sent His Son into the world to be the
I Redeemer of men. He and the Fa-
I ther are one, He and His followers
are one, and so we are all one. We
I who today believe are included (read
! vv. 20-23).
This is an inward unity of the
Spirit, not an outward union of or
ganizations. The answer to our dif
ficulty is not the dissolution of de
nominations (although there do
seem to be far too many subdivi
sions, too), but the uniting of all
groups in a oneness of love and devo
tion to Christ, and a united emphasis
on the gospel.
There is something more here.
This unity puts Christ’s followers
into the place where His glory may
be revealed in and upon them. It is
| His prayer that we should behold
in our Saviour the glory which God
had given Him because He loved
Him before the foundation of the
world.
