Mark 9:30.37; 10:13-16. January 4, 1914. JESUS AND THE CHILDREN (The Story) The training of the Twelve mada large drails upon "the _ endurance of the Master. Their' radial miseoncepti on of his Kingdom wis the most diffi- cult of eradiction. He had just unveiled to them his wo of Sorrow'; First Quarter. hut, explicit though he had been, it seemed all to no so. They saw only a flower-strewn path to a glittering throne. And they /wanted it quick. ly decided how they should rela tively to that throne.' . . . Before we are harsh with the disciples for their tardy approach to the true ideal of the Kingdom, let it be remembered, they drank in their wrong notions with their mothers' milk. Eve, Jesus could not easily trai@ oat of them ideas which had been trained into them for thirty years. They were ideas, too, that were peculigrly consonant with their ambitions. . . . The Searcher of Hearts know very well the subject of the unseemly euitovemy in which his disciples had engaged on the way to Capunaum. . . . It was the master-stroke of the Master-teacher, the placing of the child in the midst of his self-secking disciples. The instant ebedi the child rendex- ed when called; the docility with which he stood where Jesus him: and, in the end, the swiftness: with which he receive and return the Saviour's embrace, and all with a self-oblivion to which the question, 'What shall I have for this ?" never so much a8 gecurred,~thers, as in a simple living tabléau, the characteristics of the approved disciple stood forth. .. And from the acted parable, as was his wont, the Saviour passed to practical discourse, in which the principles of his Kingdom were still further developed. The conspicuous position aceorded to childhood in the Chuech is emunciated. Ii those like children are eligible to membership, then children themselves are already in: cluded. Jesus is childhood's Defender. He puts himself in the child's place. What you do of good or ill to the child, you do to Him. The immediate sutrender of the dearest earthly ambitions inimical to the spirit of the hea- venly Kingdom is insisted upon in language of unsurpassed vigor. Better one hand, one foot, one eye, and--heaven, than two hands, two feet. two , and--hell | 'The vivacious discourse closes aptly with a picture of the Good Shepherd' going out with infinite 'sacrifice, pains, and persist- enice to seek for one lost sheep. . . The lovely tapestry of the homily to the Twelve is shot with the golden thread of the Master's particular love, vare, and provision for child-life. 'Not the will of the Father that one of these little ones should perish ?" "Do not despise one of these little ones'; "Their guardian angels stand uearest the Father'; 'The worst loath ivable would preferable to the penalty of corrupting a child"; "Whosoever takes a child under loving and helpful care takes the child and ~me." THE TEACHER'S LANTERN "Twould be out of place to criticise the schoolboy clutching his pen with inky fist or hesitating and blunering from his dog-eared reader. Time may be when from that same hand will come Spencerian calligraphy, or 'irom those lips periods an Everett would not disdain. So chide not the apostles in the bungling, short-sighted notions of their novitiate. The end crowns the work. . . True, they began with ambitions for seli.aggran- dizement; but they ended by giving the world the most sublime examples of seli-abnegation of all the ages. Not in vain did the Master set a little child in their midst that day. Some one said one day that we do not. réad that our Saviour, when on earth, was ever seen to 'wmile. A lit- tle girl heard the remark. "What," she said, "didn't Jesus say to the lit- tle children, 'Come unto Me ¥ and they would never have come unless He had smiled!" "I'm sure the Saviour smiled, Or else no little, trembling «hild Had dared to venture near; No darkening frown, no angry word, Was ever seen or ever heard While Jesus sojourned here." The two-Mesgiah idea prevailed toa considerable extent among the Jews. The Psalms and prophecies obviously pictured a suffering as well as a tri umphant Messiah. But it seemed im possible for the Hebrew mind to ap- prehend that the Sufferer and the Victor were one and the same person; in fact that 'the victor was such: through his suffering. he disciples, in their novitiate, were ready to attach themselves to the vie tor Messiah, but they wanted none of the sufferer. + Unhappily, hier- archical ambition and "écclesiastical polities" are not yet extinct. The more is the shame and pity, since .two thousand years have passed ia which to learn the spirit of the Kingdom. . The spirit of the little child who was willing to be employed by the Master--that is tha animating principle of his Kingdom. Not to be ministered unto, but to minister; not crown and jewelled crosier, but basin and towel, are badges of highest distinction. ANALYSIS AND KEY . The Training of the Twelve.
