lesson as a whole approach to the lesson just as a masterartist can with a few bold suokes so depict a human countenance that we can recognize it at once so has the holy spirit in a few brief pas sages in the new testament out lined for us the characteristic features of the life and ministry of john mark the nephew of barna bas the onetime wealthy cypriote- levite acts 435 mark was the son of mary a rich woman of jerusalem who had a house large enough to be used as a prayer- meeting place for many of the church in that city acts 1212 he was as we say born with a silver spoon in his mouth used to a life of ease and comfort he found it hard later on to accept the trials and difficulties that were inseparably linked with mission ary service so after a short exper ience in that line he returned to his mother much to the disgust of paul who later refused to give him a second chance to make good but in after years recognized him as a true servant of christ his stovy should be a source of encour agement to others who because of early failure might feel unworthy to be trusted again the god who enabled mark to succeed when he launched out with his uncle a second time stands ready to strengthen every earnest soul no matter what vacillation may have been evidenced in the past the historical setting of marks birth or death we know nothing although tradition says he became an outstanding missionary to egypt where he founded what is known as the coptic church and that he there laid down his life as a martyr for the gospels sake it is generally supposed that he himself is the young man mentioned in his gospel who was close to jesus when he was being led away by the soldiers from gethsemane and who fled when they sought to arrest him leaving his cloak in their hands just when he wrote the gospel we cannot be sure but it was evidently one of the earliest records of the life ministry death and resurrection of jesus he was peters companion at one time and probably wrote in conjunction with him verse by verso acts 1212 the house of mary the mother of john whose sur name was mark many suppose this to have been the same house in the upper room of which the disciples gathered for prayer while waiting for the coming of the spirit whether this be true or not it is evident thai marys home was a large house and that mary her self was a woman in comfortable circumstances how little she realized that in years to come her chief claim to remembrance would be the fact that her son was chosen of god to write one of the inspired records of the saviours life verse 25 barnabas and saul took with them john whose surname was mark probably barnabas and his companion were entertained in his sisters home and so had opportunity to note the desire of mark to have a part in the work of the lord they arrang ed to have him accompany them on their return journey to antiocti thus giving him an opportunity to learn something more of what was involved in fulltime service for the lord thornhill signs for incorporation a petition seeking the incorpora tion of thornhill as a village has been signed by more than the required number of citizens a meeting of ratepayers learned last week l g jackson chairman of the petition committee said the docu ment would be forwarded to york county council for consideration during the fall session thornhill with an area of 695 acres would have an estimated population of 900 after incorpora tion while some opposition to incor poration was voiced the majority were in favor of immediate action j w carter department

john mark was not as yet conscious of the divine call but accompanied them in order to assist in any way in which he was capable verse 5 they had also john to their minister that is as their attendant unquestionably there were many responsibilities he could take upon himself particu larly in regard to temporal things which would relieve the older men and leave them free to prosecute the great work of evangelization verse 13 john departing from them returned to jerusalem was it an attack of homesickness that led the young man to leave the work and return to his mother or had he become discouraged and felt himself unfiitted for such ser vice we do not know but from pauls attitude toward him later on it seems clear that he at least felt that john mark had proven himself an untrustworthy servant acts 15 36 paul said unto barnabas let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached this was the proposal for a second missionary journey having in view primarily the establishment in the truth of those already saved but for paul it proved to be to a very large extent another pioneering cam paign reaching out to many places hitherto untouched by the gospel verse 37 barnabas determined to take with them john whose sur name was mark desiring to give his nephew another opportunity to prove himself as a servant of christ barnabas proposed that the young man should accompany them again no doubt family affection played a considerable part in this decision but it was also as later events proved the leading of the lord who is ever gracious and would not reject mark because of his former unfaithfulness verse 3s but paul thought not good to take him with them himself prepared to go to any lengths for the gospels sake paul had no patience with one who did not seem to realize the importance of the great work in which they were engaged he therefore stern ly refused to agree to barnabass proposal p verses 39 40 barnabas took mark and sailed unto cyprus and paul chose silas and departed being recommended by the breth ren unto the grace of god unable to agree on this matter the two eminent servants of christ parted company so far as we know never to labor together again barnabas and john mark went back to cyprus and paul chose silas who had already become highly esteemed by the brethren as his companion and so started off on ids second missionary tour the antiochian church seemed to side with paid in the controversy for they commended him to the grace of god as he left them we do not read of any commendatton for barnabas in after years paul wrote kindly and approvingly of barnabas 1 cor 96 and when in prison at rome asked timothy to bring mark with him saying he is profitable unto me for the ministry 2 tim 111 see also colossians 1 10 tho heart of the lesson it is a great mistake to suppose that because one has failed once in some particular aspect of christ ian life and service he has proved himself utterly unlit for a position of trust and confidence marks early failure and later successful service have been recorded by the spirit of god for the comfort and encouragement of ail who either through timidity or lack of deter mination have turned aside from the path of wholehearted devotion to christ it was mark the one time unfaithful servant whom god took up in grace and inspired to write the gospel which portrays christ as the faithful servant of god in this world peter had a special affection for mark and speaks of him as his son 1 pet 5 13 which may mean that it was he who led him in early days to become a follower of the lord jesus ana yau fetttiuf tap priced at uousi poultry arnold farms pay top prices for live or dressed poultry plant grading station on no 7 highway at don mills road for
