N4 m 4 t t GÂ¥T . Verses 35â€"42, The "School of Jesus," if on]f may use such a phrase in connection with the group of men so informally gathered together a@round the. person of the Great "Teacher, was an offshoot from that «of John the Baptist, Both schools were primarily formed to promote the Kingdom of God, They were based ‘wpon the idea that the timée for the ‘establishment of the Kingdom had arâ€" Tived. John, it is true, did notcease ®is work as soon as Jesus made his appearance. His gospel of repentâ€" ance was necessary after Jesus beâ€" gan his ministry as it had been beâ€" fore. Those who . remained . with John were, like himself, willing to continue in preaching the message of repentance. Those who joined Jeâ€" sus undoubtedly realized the advance upon John. ‘"Having found in John a clear radiance as of the morning star, they now â€" saw in Jesus all the glory of the rising sun.‘" The first step of the new disciples was to indicate their allegiance to Jesus by entering into his place of residence with him. It is a symboliâ€" eal expression of willingness to share with him the circumstances of his eutward life. This meant, of course, also that as he and they were to live in common their means of support were to be shared by him. If the disciple comes to live with the teachâ€" 3 a s er it is_in order also that he may eompensate the teacher for his laâ€" bor and time by giving him of his substance. Companionship lies at the basis of every fruitful relationship of teacher and pupil. The fundaâ€" mental feature of discipleship under Jesus was that those who grouped themselves around his person were first of all his companions. Jesus never was the disciple of _ John the Baptist or of any other huâ€" man leader. And yet his work hisâ€" torically affiliates itself with that of John, and he drew his first followâ€" eérs from among those of the Baptist When, however, those who. had been ‘attracted by the rugged prophet of ‘the Judean wilderness left him in orâ€" der to take their places beside Jeâ€" sus, it was not with the consciousâ€" mess of break that they did so; for from the beginning John declared to them the transitional character of his own work and gave them no 0Câ€" casion to think that.either 'personal loyalty or the nature of his work reâ€" auired them to remain with him perâ€" mamently. It was the chief glory, and the joy of John that he recogâ€" mized not only the possibility, but the certainty of further progress along the lines in which he had led men unâ€" der the divinec guidance. Many men who begin as progressives become conservatives in later life. They are able to. see the need for change in thought or life for thpir own day, but when the change | they propose has been achieved they can see noâ€" thing but danger . and harm When‘ younger men undertake to lead other equally necessary change. . While: itheir plea in. the beginning was for tolerance, in the end «~their attitude is that of intolerance. John the Baptist‘s attitude towards Jesus was the reverse of this He saw that his ewn work was being fulfilled and vinâ€" dicated by the more important deâ€" Â¥elopment under Jesus. f Upon cordpanionship was built the relationship of learner. Being with him must needs open his mind to them. This was what after all they sought and aimed at when they came to him. And they learned of him in two ways: First from the words which he spoke to them, and secondly from his example. In this particular,) too, it may be observed, that the ideal relationship of teacher and taught is rendered perfect as the channels between these two‘ are opened so completely that both what the teachâ€" er utters with his lips and what he acts with his whole conduct become means of selfâ€"revelation to his pupils. The fact in the case of Jesus and his disciples that Master and men lived together in an unbroken companionâ€" ship could not but produce the best results. Modern pedagogical methods may . excel ancient ones in many resâ€" pects, but they are defective at the point where they permit the teacher to consider his task ~done when he has met the pupil for an hour or so every day and has spoken to him of the special subject which brings them into their relationship. ‘ The method of the growth of the "School of Jesus" is also significant.. When a new disciple was satisfied that he had found a master worthy to be followed he proceeded to seek out and bring to him others. Andrew brought his brother, Peter, to Jesus. Later when Jesus had enlisted Philip among his followers, "Philip findeth Nathaniel and saith unto him. we have found him of whom Moses, in the law and the prophets, did write." Discipleship is like fire, it spreads by self communication to the unkindâ€" led mass. When those who have found Christ are eager to go and tell others of their discovery and to urge them to come and see for themselves, there is no difficulty in the dissemâ€" ination of the Gospel. Verses 43â€"49.. But when the:comâ€" panion and learner has gone out to bring others to his Master he has advanced another step and may now be properly called an Apostleâ€" i.e., "one sent," ‘"missionary." The first disciples of Jesus were later called apostles, and there may have a,t-l tached to their persons and office much that can never be duplicated by later adherents of Jesus. But the pith and point of their apostleship. was that they viewed themselves as commissioned to tell others the glad tidings which had come to them. Jesus spoke two cardinal words to his ‘disciples: the words "Come" and *‘Go". The perfect disciple is he who hears and heeds both. It is necessary to come to Jesus, in order to learn of him the way of life. It is necessary to abide with Jesus in order to beâ€" come familiar with his character and imbibe his spirit. But it is also neâ€" cessary to go from Jesus in order to witness to him and invite others to the privileges of discipleship. It may be that the Korean Church has gone too far in making it a condition for admission into its membership that the converts shall be able to bring ene another to the chumeh; but it has _ Golden text: "And Jesus saith unto Rim, Follow me.‘"â€"John 1:43.

The rest is done by Christ himself. When Jeâ€" sus spoke to Nathaniel the latter could not fail to recognize in him the one whom his heart was seeking. The charm of Jesus does its own work, all that the Christian evangelist needs to do is to give Jesus a chance by bringâ€" ing men to him. The verification of discipleship comes in every direct contact with Jesus. It is illustrated in the case of Nathaniel. This disciple was led to the master by Philip. But Philip only led him to the master. That is LARGERST PRIVATE SWITCHBOARD IN CANADA NE realizes the immensity of O the problems which confront the architect of a modern hotel when one sees the switchboard at which the "Hello" girls operate at the huge C. P. R. hotel in Vancouver. Here there are 600 guest rooms, 15 large public rooms and other rooms requiring interâ€"communication, so that the business man giving orders to his valet or making an appointâ€" ment, and the lady guest talking gossip to her friends in the city may get their connection with ease and celerity. The private branch exâ€" change switchboard at the Vancouver Hotel is the largest in Canada, and embodies interesting new features such as the Telautograph and the Maids‘ Signal Service. The Telautoâ€" graph is an ingenious instrument by which messages handwritten at one station are reproduced by electrical . means at one or more other stations.

On the telephone switchâ€" board are hundreds of small lamps bearing numbers corresponding to the numbers of the guest rooms.

From the lamps on ‘the â€" switchboard the operator knows where all the maids are to be found, and should a guest require the attendance of one she can be imâ€" mediately surmmoned by telephone message. The switchboard is 24 feet long, and all the exposed woodwork is of mahogany.
