SHOWER OF SILVER
Loving Wife—Now that you are.
ruined, Henry, I will disclose my se¬
cret. For years I have been saving
up, and now (ponring a shower of sli¬
ver coins into tils hat) this may tide
you over.
Husband—Oh, my darling, how did
you manage to do It?
Wife—Easily enough. Every time
you said an unkind tiling to me I put
a shilling into a box.—Weekly Scots¬
man.
Bad Audience
“I understand you intend to make a
talk over the radio."
"I have given up the Idea,” said
Senator Sorghum. “I've heard some
of those radio talks. Just when a
Speaker thought lie was making a hit,
tiie audience at our house was going
Into h doze.”—Washington Star.
Competition
American dramatic critics are noted
for their devastating frankness. An
alleged comedy was produced In New
York a short time ago, and one criti¬
cism concluded:
‘‘Laughter coming from the rear
rows Indicated that somebody was
telling a Joke back there.”
Modest
“Remember,” said the serious man,
“that money Is not the only thing to
he striven for.”
"Maybe not,” answered the other,
“but a whole tot of people think it is,
and I’m not egotistic enough to try
to set any new fashions,”
NONE TO SPARE

Passerby (Irritably)—Spare one of

With more dependence on the stump
Than on the family tree.

of Man came not to be ministered unto
but to minister and to give hie life

Jesus with His disciples was on Hfs
way to Capernaum for the last time.
He was soon tozleave for Jerusalem
where lle was (o die on the cruet
cross for the sins of the world. He
sought retirement in order to make
clearer to the disciples the meaning
of the cross. They were yet unable
to understand Him. It was a most
pitiable sight to behold the Son of
God facing humiliation and death ir
man's salvation and even the dis¬
ciples failing to understand the mean¬
ing of Hfs suffering.
I. The Disciples Disputing as to
Who Shoul_ Be the Greatest (Mnrfe
9:33-37).
1, Jesus’searching question (v. 33).
His omniscience enabled Him to dis¬
cern their secret thoughts. The fact
(hat Hie disciples were wrangling
about official position while Jesus was
facing humiliation and death shows
how completely He was alone la tiie
world.
2, The silent disciples (v. 34). The
revelation of the selfishness of their
hearts made them ashamed In His
presence. The realization that the.
eye of the omniscient Lord Is over
us Is the sure and only cure for self¬
ish wrangling among Christians,
3, The slinging rebuke (vv. 35-3T).
(!) “If any man desire to he first
the same shall be last of all and Serv
alit of all.” True greatness expresses
itself in being willing to take the last
amt least place and to he a servant
of others.
(2) His teaching illustrated (vv. 3d.
3T). This He did by an acted parable
of ((lacing a little child In their midst.
A little child is a symbol of depend
ance and Ignorance. By word and
example fie showed that true great¬
ness is expressed In willingness to aid
lfie weak, instruct the ignorant, and
serve the needy.
II. The Ambitious Request of
James and John (Mark 10:35-43).
1. What it was (vv. 35-37). ft was
for the positions of pre-eminence In
tiie kingdom. Christ had told them
of the awfu! agony of tiie cross and
also of tile glory which should fol¬
low. Wiille their request reveals
pride and selfish ambition yet faith
in their Lord and n right desire were
not wholly lacking. It was not en¬
tirely for their personal glory that
they made this request, but because
of their personal desire to be with
their Lord.
2. Jesus’ reply (vv. 38-45).
(1) To James and .lofm (vv. 38-40),
a. Their misconception rebuked,
“Ye know not what ye ask.”
in Positions of glory in Ciirist's
kingdom are earned, not obtained
through favor or arbitrary assign¬
ment. The way to honor is through
suttering. The cup which they were
to drink was all that was embraced
in the agony of Ihe cross. Christ con¬
that the positions which they
craved were obtainable, but in a dif¬
ferent way from what they thougbr.
The way to places of glory in
Ciirist’s kingdom is through lowly,
service and suffering.
(2) To the ten disciples (vv. 41-45).
a. Their displeasure (v. 41). The
ten disciples were displeased with the
request of James and John. Their
was because they were not
free from the same selfish ambition;
their action wag not prompted by
righteous indignation.
b. True greatness declared (vv. 42
To ndnlster to others is great¬
than to be ministered unto (v. 43).
Among the Gentile nations, greatness
conceded to those who exercised
over others. This is the
conception today. Among the
of Christ a different stand¬
prevails. The standard of Christ's
is to forget seif in devoted
to others, even to the giving
one's life. The supreme example
be followed by all is Jesus Christ
Hts whole life was spent In
about doing good, and on Hie
of Calvary He made the su¬
sacrifice in providing a ransom
many.
