Notes on the Gospel of Mark,
With a Revision of the Common English Version.
BY N. M. CRAWFORD.
Chapter X. 32 And they were on the way,
going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before
them’: and they were amazed, and as they fol
lowed they were afraid. And taking the twelve
again with himself, he began to tell them what
things would happen unto them, 33 saying,
Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of
Man shall be delivered up unto the chief priests
and unto the scribes; and they -will condemn 1
him to death and will deliver him up to the I
Gentiles; 34 and they will mock him and
scourge him, and spit upon him, and kill him : .
and the third day he will rise again.
35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, '
come unto him, saying, Teacher, we wish that <
thou wouldst do for us whatsoever we shall ask <
36 And he said unto them, What wish ye that t
I should do for you? 37 And they said unto ,
him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy
right hand and the other on thy left, in thy gio
ry. 38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not 1
what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I
drink ? and be immersed with the immersion f
with which lam immersed ? 39 And they said £
unto him. We can. And Jesus said unto them, *
Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink;
and with the immersion with which I am im- I
mersed, shall ye be immersed : 40 But to sit on
my right hand and»on my left, is not mine to €
give except to them for whom it has been pre
pared. 41 And the ten, hearing it, began to be *
much displeased with James and John. 42 But 1
Jesus called them to him and saith unto them, <
Ye know that they who are accounted rulers of
the nations, lord it over them; and their great ,
ones exercise authority over them. 43 But so
shall it not be among you; but whosoever would 1
become great among you shall be your servant. :
44 And whosoever of you would become first, i
shall be a slave of all. 45 For even the Son of ]
Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to (
give his life a ransom for many.
46 And they came to Jericho: and as he was I
going out of Jericho with his disciples and a i
great multitude, blind the son of ,
Timaeus, sat by the wayside, And
hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began (
to cry but and say, Jesus, Son of David, have '
mercy on me. 48 And many charged him to
be silent: but he cried out the more a great i
deal, Son of David, have mercy on me. 49
And Jesus stood still and commanded him to
be called: and they called the blind man, say- '
ing unto him, Be of good cheer, rise; hecalleth !
thee. 50 And he, casting away his garment, 1
rose and came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus answer-.,
ed and said unto him, What wilt thou that i
should do for thee ? And the blind man said
unto him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight. ,
52 And Jesus said unto him, Go; thy faith hath 1
made thee whole. And immediately he received
his sight and followed Jesus in the way.
NOTES.
32. Going up to Jerusalem.— This was to
be His last visit to Jerusalem, on which His
predictions about His own death were to be
fulfilled. Before them: being too busy
with I [is own thoughts and too full of His
great purpose to desire company. Amazed:
doubtless at the supernatural appearance of
the Saviour under the mighty impulse
which animated Him. Something of the
glory of the. transfiguration may have '
shone upon His person. Afraid: having '
dread of some undefined evil that might !
happen to them from from following Him.
See John xi., 8. But still they followed. ■
The indwelling Spirit will draw the believ
er after Jesus in spite of the natural pas
sions which cause him to fear. Took the
twelve: apart from the women and others (
who followed Him up to Jerusalem, xv.,
40. Began to tell. — -This is the third time *
that Jesus gives them instructions on this 1
subject. Now His teaching is more full
and minute than on former occasions.
33, 34. Ncoi of Man : n. 2: 28, also 8: '
31, 9:31, and notes. Delivered, dtv.—
Formally He had told them He should be *
delivered into the hands of men; now He
specifies into whose hands, as first of the J
chief priests and scribes, who represented (
the .Jewish nation, and secondly of the *
Gentiles, as represented by the Romans. '
that thus the whole world might concur in [
rejecting Him. Formerly, He had an
nounced simply that He was to be put to (
death; now He shows that His death is to ’
be accomplished under the forms of law — |
fust, in being condemned by the Jewish
tribunal, and second, in being executed un
der sentence from the Gentiles. Formerly ,
He had merely stated that He should suf
fer many things; now He specifics some of |
them: as mock, in derision of His claims
to royalty ; scourge, as a malefactor con
denmed ; spit upon, in token of their eon I*
tempt ot His person and abhorrence to Hi /
character. To spit in the presence of any
one is regarded in the Rast as an insult
how much more to spit on one! Kill him.
—Matthew alone points out the method by
crucifying, xx., 19.
35. The request appears, from Matthew
xx., 20, to have been presented through
their mother, Salome, who ac<*ompanied
Jesus on this last journey to Jerusalem, n.
v. 32. The terms of the request seem toi
indicate a fear that, if presented definitely,j
it would not be granted. It is both unwise
and wicked to entrap any one into promises !
which would not otherwise be granted ; but
how supremely absurd to attempt thus to
entrap Jesus, who knew the thoughts and j
the heart !
36. Without rebuke, but without grant-;
ing the request, He requires a specification
of their desire. This is a lesson of pru-.
denoe for all. We should neither grant
nor refuse a request till we understand
what it means.
37. 77w right and the left hand are the
chief places of honor. In thy glory.—
Mark the confidence of His disciples which,
in spite, and perhaps in disbelief, of w hat l
the) had just heard of His death, still be :
lieves in His coming exaltation. It was|
faith, though unenlightened faith.
30. Kamr not, See.— How mild a rebuke, 1
for so audacious a request { see n. v. 42. — |
I he cup refers to the sorrow He was to feel >
in His own spirit ; the immersion to the
suffering which was to be inflicted on Him
by others.
39. H'» eao.— The reply was neither*vain (
nor presumptuous, for through the grace oil
their Lord they did it. James, first of the
a|x»stles, was "killed for his testimony to
the truth. Acts xii,, 2. John, longest of
all. endured the sorrows, the trials, and the
persecutions of earth.
so baj? slB s ba»a ba.
• 40. Except to them, t&c.—“ All power ”
indeed has been given to Jesus, but the
manner of its exercise was before agreed
upon, and the eternal councils of God had
first prepared the gift and designated the
receiver.
41. Much displeased: but their displeas
ure had in it as much selfishness as the am
bitious request.
42. Called them, dec.— lt is most affect
ing to observe that, as the Saviour drew
near to His death, His tenderness in rebu
king the sins of His disciples increased.—
He rebukes them now only by instructing,
and chides only by showing a better way.
Are counted, d’c.— God is indeed the Sov
ereign, but the kings of the Gentiles think
only of themselves as supreme. Because
they are great among men, they claim ser
vice and homage from their inferiors, and
measure their greatness by the exactions
they can extort.
43,44. A different principle is announced
for the disciples of Jesus. Among them
greatness must be achieved by services ren
dered, not exacted. Their ambition should
be to be useful.
45. This principle is derived from and
enforced by the example of Jesus, for if
even the Son of Man came not to be served,
but to serve, what else should the disciples
expect or desire? Give his life. — A life of
service was consummated by a death of
sacrifice. He gave His life, for it was His
own to lay down and take up again, (John
x., 17, 18,) and He gave it as a ransom to
redeem mamj from the curse of sin. The
redeemed are more precious in the sight of
the Lord than the ransom—their life more
precious than His blood. Herein is love,
indeed! Many: who were ordained to
eternal life. Acts xiii., 48.
46. Jericho: a large and flourishing city
of the tribe of Benjamin, about six miles!
west of the Jordan and twenty from Jeru ■,
salem. It is situated in a fertile district, j
which abounds in palm trees and roses,'
and produces large quantities of the Bal
sam of Gilead. The city was destroyed by
Joshua, (vi., 26,) but was afterwards re
built, (1 Kings xvi., 34,) and became the
seat of a school of the prophets. 2 Kings
ii., 5,15. Bartimceus. — Bar means son.
Some think the name a synonim of Bar
tholomew. It appears from Matthew xx.,
30, that there were two blind men. Mark
mentions only o le, however, whom he
names probably oecause he was better
known than the other. Begging: because
he was poor and his blindness hindered
him from working. It is both a shame and
a sin for one to beg who is able to work.— 1
» i I
It was customary for beggars to sit by the'
wayside— a convenient situation for asking
alms of the passers.
47. Jesus of Nazareth. Note 1: 21. I
Jesus, Son of David: thus recognizing Him
as the promised King of Israel, and appeal-i’
ing to Him as such for the mercy of heal
ing. Notice especially the faith of the beg
gar : to others Jesus was the Nazarean, to 1
Bartimivus He was the Son of David.
48. Many charged him, <£’c.: unwilling to 1
be disturbed by the clamors of a blind 1
beggar. Cried out the more : the opposi
tion of the multitude rather increased than '
diminished his earnestness. So it always
is with genuine faith and true prayer.
49. Stood still.— Behold the goodness 1
and power of the Saviour! Os all present s
Jesus alone is willing to hear him; Jesus ’
alone is able to help him. Commanded, 1
dr. .• exercising authority over the by- 1
standees, as He had a right to do. Be of s
good cheer.— Those who had rebuked, now 8
encouraged him. As it is one of the vices f
of human nature to trample on the unfor- *
Innate, so it is characteristic of mankind to 1
change with changing fortune, and smile *
upon the prosperous.
50. Casting away his garment: i. e., his 8
outer robe or cloak, wh'ch, in the case of a c
poor blind beggar, was probably a coarse 8
blanket. He threw it off in joy and with I
a desire to obey the call.
51. Answered, i. e., the blind man’s cry ’
for mercy. The question of Jesus was not 1
for His own sake, but for those who heard. '
John ii., 42. Rabboni : equivalent to, My 1
great master; a title of highest honor *
among the Jews, and applied to only seven 1
of their most eminent scholars.
52. Thy faith, <f-r. —His faith led to his 1
being brought to Jesus, and thus was the 1
proximate cause of his receiving sight. The
efficient cause was in Jesus himself.
[Note. —From this narrative we may
learn the nature of the prayer of faith. It 1
i is earnest, tor he cried out in his distress.—
It is persevering, for when he was opposed
he cried out the more. It is successful, for
he received sight—the blessing he desired.'
We learn, moreover, how blessings received i
i from Jesus affect true believers; for, filled
i with gratitude, he followed Jesus. Let us
remember, too, that a consistent Christian
life is but the acting out of the spirit of 1
prayer. Every act that is tn the glory of'
I God is imbued with the same spirit. Chris
i tian lite is prayer in action.)
An Old Man's Kkbi ke. —A good old
man was once in company with a gentle
no, we mean a person, who occasionally
introduced into conversation the words
‘devil,’ ‘deuce,’ etc., and who at last took
the name of God in vain. ‘ Stop, sir,’ said
the old man, ‘ I said nothing while you only
used freedoms with the name of your own
'master, but I insist upon it that you shall
use no freedoms with the name of mine.’

MY MOTHER’S NAME.
My mother’s name, my mother’s name,
How hallow'd and how dear !
That sound, it fell like melody
Upon my list’ning ear.
What though a stranger spoke her praise,
So exquisite it came,
At once 1 loved him as a friend —
It was my mother’s name !
There was a fullness of the heart,
A glist’ning of the eye,
A sudden flushing of the cheek,
I can not tell ye why.
I probed not then the mighty throb
That shook my trembling frame ;
I only knew, I only felt,
It was my mother’s name !
And cloudless will I keep that name,
While God my life shall spare;
It never yet confessed a blot,
No stain shall enter there.
In weal or woe, unsullied still
By shadow or by shame,
Proudly my heart shall beat to tell
It is my mother’s name !
And when at length the Lord of all
Shall claim the breath He gave,
And by the grasp of death consign
Me to the peaceful grave,
Let but one line, one sculpture line,
Above my tomb proclaim
lie found it spotless—and unstain’d
Is still his mother’s name!
THE MODEL YOUNG LADY.
She who, in her youth, develops her in
tellectual powers in the search of truth and
useful knowledge, and refines and strength
ens her moral energies, by the love of vir
tue, the happiness of her friends, and the
welfare of m inkind ; whois animated by
rue feminine glory, exalted by sacred
friendship for social, and softened by virtu
ous love for domestic, life ; who lays her
heart open to every other mild and gener
ous affection, and who, to all these, adds a
sober and feminine piety, equally remote
from superstition and enthusiasm, can be
truly characterised as the Model Young
Lady, who lays up the richest fund for the
honorable action and happy enjoyment of
the succeeding years of life. The female
character is described by poets, oratoisand
naturalists ; and such as justly deserves the
epithet of model character, remains untaint
ed by the deceits of flattery, and though
surrounded by the vicious snares of the
world, yet there is that which should most
characterise the female sex, fascinating man
ners, such as prove the truth of the asser
tion, “ Modesty is the chief ornament of
the fair sex ” ; for does not one of the chief
beauties of a young lady consist in that
modest reserve, that retiring delicacy, which
avoids the public gaze, and is disconcerted
even at the gaze of admiration ? —showing
that “ Modesty when unadorned, is most
adorned.”
Dauntlessly, should woman brave life’s
tempestous tide to become an ornament to
the sex, a pride to her family, the being of
pleasure in a circle of companions, and the
institutor of domestic bliss at home. She
should be aware that to become the delight
of her companionsand the pride of her fam
ily, something more is required than to be
merely exempt from ill-temper and trouble
some humors. The sincere and genuine
smiles of complacency and love must adorn
her countenance; that ready compliance,
that alertness co oblige, which demonstrates
true affection, must animate her behaviour
and endear her most common actions.
If we could but soar with the wings of
an eagle in the midst of surrounding wastes,
desolation and death, and behold an earthly
angel administering to the wants of the op
pressed, softening the dying pillows of the
afflicted, when perhaps she had denied her
self the pleasure of attending some place of
amusement to fulfil the mission that her
better nature had dictated, for the happi
ness of others, we would gaze upon the
scene with never-ceasi«g admiration and
pleasure. Such as has been described, we
would be constrained to feel, is the true
miniature of a model young lady. As
different classes of society have different
views as to what constitutes the model
young lady, let the most fashionable circle
who imagine that to dance, play and sing
well, and quote a few passages of the differ
ent languages, constitute what should cha
racterise the model character, afford us an
, example. From such, you perceive, my j
I ideas are quite different. For a young lady
may excel in speaking French and Italian ;
I may repeat a few passages from a volume
of extracts ; play like a professor, and sing
like a siren; have her dressing-room deco-,
rated with her own drawings, paintings,
i flower-pots, screens and cabinets ; nay, she’
may dance like Sempronia herself, and yet
we can say she is far from being a model
young lady. All of these qualifications are
elegant, and many of them tend to perfect-'
ing an education, and in occupying time that t
would otherwise be idly spent, thus giving!
a recreation to the mind without loss of I
time. These arts should be in some degree
cultivated, but there are others which must
not be neglected ; for “ many things are
becoming, but one thing is needful.’
Woman should remember that she is edu-j
cated not alone for pleasure and gaiety, but
for eternity. Though reared amidst luxury
and wealth, the tide of life may change, and
I woman should therefore be trained with a
i view to the several situations of life, and
be furnished with ideas, principles, qualifi
| cations and habits ready to be applied and
r appropriated, as occasion may demand, to
reach respective situation. For though the
arts, which merely embellish life, must
claim admiration, yet, when a man of sense
t comes to marry, it is a companion that he
wants—not an artist. It is not merely a
creature who can paint, play, sing, dance,
and dress, but it i« a modest young lady.
• who can comfort and counsel him—one who
can reason, reflect, feel, judge, discriminate,
(and discourse—one who can assist him in
his affairs, lighten his cares, soothe his
sorrows, purify his joys, and strengthen his
, principles.
Preparations for War in Canada.
Ammunition and Arms for 200,000
, Troops.
The Cincinnati Enquirer learns from a
gentleman recently from Canada, that the
British Government have, during the past
summer, sent to Quebec, arms, cannon and
equipments for two hundred thousand men.
Every detail for a very large army in the
field has been attended to. The cannon of
small calibre in the fortifications at Hali
fax, Kingston and Quebec, have been re
moved, and Armstrong guns of the largest
size put in their place. It adds:
About the time of the Trent affair, when
considerable bodies of troops were sent to
Canada from England, a commission of na
val officers was sent over to examine and
report as to the best means of defending
the lakes. They recommended that sixty
strong iron-clad gunboats should be built,
such as could pass the locks through the ca
nals from the St. Lawrence into the lakes.
By the treaty with England and the United
States, neither Power is to have more than
one vessel of war on either of the lakes,
and that istocarry only one gun—the vessels
intended only for revenue purposes. But
England has prepared quietly, and has now,
lying in the islands of Bermuda, all the
materials’ready to put forty iron-clad gun
boats, together forthwith, suitable for ser
vice on our lakes.
The engines, guns and equipments, as
well as the other materials for these ves
sels, have been sent for this purpose, during
the past year, to their naval station in Ber
muda, and could be put together and sent
into service on our lakes on the opening of
navigation, in the spring, on the St. Law
rence. English officers in Canada say that
one hundred thousand regular British troops
could be sent to Canada very soon by send
ing volunteers and militia to garrison forts
in their colonies, and that arrangements
will be made by the Canadian Parliament,
the coming session, to call out two hundred
thousand volunteers when necessary. This
was objected to last winter; but the objec
tion arose from political considerations,
which have been arranged, the home gov
ernment agreeing to pay the volunteers, &c.
This information, if true, is important, and
it comes through a respectable source. It
behooves our Government to give attention
to it.
The Exemption Law.
The constant changes in the laws which
vitally affect the personal and pecuniary
welfare of the people, is a great evil—one
that we had hoped we shouldliave escaped
under the new regime. It should be a cause
of shame to legislators that they confessed
ly are unable to make laws that can stand
two or three years without repeal or
amendment. It amounts to an acknowl
edgment that they are incompetent for the
business they have undertaken, and are un
fit for the positions they hold.
It is notorious that the conscription and
exemption laws have caused much mur
muring in the Confederacy. The dissatis
faction has not been so much caused by the
laws themselves, as by their arbitrary con
structions and partial executions. If the
people had the rule, which they are called
on to obey, plainly laid down, they would
cheerfully have submitted to the evident
necessity which caused their enactment.—
But these indispensable laws have been
brought into bad odor by the vacillations
of law makers, and the various interpreta
tions put upon them by officers. It is im
possible for the people to know what they
are required to obey, and it is not surprising
therefore that dissatisfaction should ensue.
If Congress had devoted the time and at
tention to these laws which their impor
tance demanded, and had laid down a well
digested set. of rules for their execution, so
that their operation would have b ?en uni
form and invariable, bearing equally upon
al! classes of persons throughout every
State of the Confederacy, there would have
been no cause for complaint, and the peo
ple, knowing their necessity, would have
cheerfully seconded the efforts of the Con
federate Government to recruit the army.
Congress is now engaged upon a new ex
emption act, and it is to be hoped that the
members will have the time and industry
to perfect it, so that it will need no amend
ment, except such as exigencies require,
' and no interpretation hereafter. Make it
| bear equally upon all subject to it, and
there will be ah end of complaint. Con
■ scription is likely to be the policy of the
Government as long as the war lasts, and
therefore it is the more necessary that the
■law shall be so well studied and perfected j
’ that there can be no excuse for fault-finding
on account of inequality—so well establish-1
ed that there may be no excuse for igno-,
| rance—so plain that there may be no cause
j for explanatory orders.
