GOLDEN TEXT: Hebrews 2:18. among the wild beasts, with- devise ~~ the time.--Mark BIBLE LESSON Mark's Account Good Reporting By N. SPEER JONES One of the world's most fa- mous tourist attractions is the great Cathedral of St. Mark in Venice, It stands on the site of a@ small wooden church built about 828 A.D. to house the relics of St. Mark, who, tradi- tion says, died and was buried in Alexandria, Egypt. When the Moslems demolished the Alex- andrine church where he was buried, his remains were trans- ferred to Venice, where he re- placed Theodore as patron saint of the city. This Mark, whose full name was John Mark, author of the second gospel, will be the sub- ject for the entire first quarter of this year's lessons. He was apparently a native of Jerusalem. His mother was such a devout Christian that Peter, after his miraculous es- cape from prison, went to her home immediately to tell the faithful of his delivery (Acts 12:1-17). It may have been at this time that the young Mark was first drawn strongly to his mother's faith--for two reasons. First, Mark was so strongly influenced by Peter that his gospel record almost nothing except those events to which Peter could have been an eye-witness. Sec- ondly, it is immediately after this midnight visit of Peter's to Mark's home that he joins Barn- abas and Saul, returning with them to the centre of the church at that time, Antioch (Acts 12:25). Despite the fact that Mark was most strongly influenced by Peter, he spent much time as a companion of St. Paul, as did Luke, the other Gospel author who was not an apostle. I may have been that the young Mark found it difficult to get along with Paul in the early days of their association; Paul was strong-willed and extremely missionary journey with Paul. (Acts 13:13). Time, experience and their mutual devotion to the Chris- tian cause eventually mellowed both Paul and Mark, however, so that Mark was very close to Paul at the end of that great apostle's life. (See If Timothy 4:11). Mark's Gospel is not only the briefest of the four, but the most dramatic, He omits the entire life of Christ up to the Cardinal Leger Suffering From Heart Fatigue MONTREAL (CP) -- Paul- Emile Cardinal Leger is suffer- ing from coronary insufficiency, a statement quo' his doctors said Wednesday. The statement, issued by the archbishop's palace, said, how- ever, that the condition "is not very grave." The cardinal, 58, entered hos- pital Monday night after can- celling all outside activity be- cause of what a spokesman de- scribed as "heart fatigue" brought on by many months of uninterrupted work. A Montreal heart specialist, point of His ministry, opening his story with Christ's baptism; thereafter, he devotes lean ministry 1:14-9:50 the Passion Week 11:1-16:8. He writes like a reporter, re- peating remarks verbatim, re- cording gestures and move- ments, using specific details tersely. The major point in Mark's story is the power of Christ--not His judgment, His genealogy, His miraculous birth, etc. He relates new parables, but many miracles. two quotations from the Old Tes. tament, Malachi 3:1 and Isaiah 40:8--the only two he uses in the entire Gospel. The fact that he introduces John by name only indicates that his work was written for those familiar with the subject matter. Possibly the most interesting paint in the lesson in terms of subject matter is the question of why Christ should be bap- tized. Baptism is an acknowl- edgement of confession of sins, yet Christ had no sins to con- fess of His own. What He con- fessed were the sins of man-- the prelude to His sacrifice for us on the cross. GOLDEN TEXT "Because He Himself has suf- fered and been tempted, He is) able to help those who are) tempted."--Hebrews 2:18. independent, and Mark's writing gives evidence of a personality of considerable boldness, terse- mess and directness. It may have been for this reason that Mark turned back on his first REVERED BOOK The Koran is the sacred book of Islam, on which the basis of the reli: of millions of Mo- hamme is founded.

He said the minority Progres- Sive Conservative government avoids bringing basic issyes be- fore Parliament because it can not count on support, even from Social Credit MPs whose votes so far have kept the govern- ment in office.

His filmed message was ries the Nation's Business, "Our experience since June has proved beyond question that the present government in the present Parliament, where every party is in a minority, cannot conduct the nation's business efficiently, constitu- tionally, or with the long term purpose that the national inter- est so desperately requires.

BARCLAY WARREN On entering a new year we know that our physical, men- tal and spiritual resources w: be taxed in ways of which we have not dreamed. As our age increases we have to admit that our pnysical strength wanes a ttle, Mentally, we are not quite so keen at learning. How- ever, we like to think that our experience has so: added to our wisdom as to more than make up for any slowing of the learn- ing process. Spiritually, we can keep going from strength to strength. 'Though our outward humanity is in decay, yet day by day we are tien: | re- newed," (2 Cor. 4:16 NEB). There must be a beginning. For Saul of Tarsus, it. was on the Damascus' road when he said, "Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" We need to dis- cover our own spiritual bank- ruptcy before we are willing to humbie ourselves and apply for spiritual strength through faith in Jesus Christ. The publican prayed, "God be merciful to me a sinner." Nicodemus saw that a new birth was necessary. The Inward Renewal Found In Faith prodigal son came to himself i, |we are sinners. But Jesus came and started for home. Let us admit that by nature to save sinners. We may come to Him just as we are, confess- ing our sins. He will receive us and give us power to become the sons of God. This is just the entrance to a great inheritance of strength. He will give to those who obey Him, the Holy Spirit, the. S| er, We shall be witnesses for Jesus. The Psalmist said, "Blessed . the man ---- ~ : ath thee; ... they go from stre to itrength." (84:5,7). This advance! from strength to strength is promoted by prayer, study of the Scriptures and dail: witnessing to others. In these ways, in particular, we de- velop more stringth. Then our} service to God and our fellow- men becomes more fruitful.
