One of his brethren, in writ- ing of him recently, spoke of him as the ‘nobles Roman of. us all’ His place in the heart of our whole church is made permanently secure. Somehow, I am bound to feel that my later intimacy with him in the gen- eral conventions establishes a bond of affection between me and the peo: ple to whom he so long ministered That I can share with the people of Epiphany affection for his blessed memory is a source of joy to me. “One of the things that has deeply impressed me in the consideration of the call to Epiphany has been the- unfailing loyaity of its members to their parish enterprise, and their de- votion to its ideals. I am bound to believe that the splendid leadership that has been afforded in this trying time, through the consecrated serv- ice of the Rev. Messrs. Hall, Brown- ing apd_Torrey, has contributed to the intelligent zeal and enthusiasm of the people of the parish. It is most fortunate that, in this critical time. this leadership has been as- sured.

The very thought of this should make ractor, clergy and people alike feel the greatness of their responsibility and the glory of their privilege.” CHURCH MEN’S CLUBS PLANNING TO COMBINE Plans for co-operative work by the brotherhoods of eight churches of dif- ferent denominations, located in and near Takoma Park and Brightwood, were discussed at the annual banquet of the Takoma Park Presbyterian Brotherhood last night.

Golden Text—The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a _ransom for many.—Mat- thew, 20:25. b By Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson. ‘Christ’s determination to attend the passover in Jerusalem in the year 30 of our own era was a more crucial hour in the life of the Lord Jesus than is apparent upon a cursory reading of the gospels. John tells us how the disciples tried to prevent His return- ing to Judea when the message of Lazarus’ iliness reached Him in Perea. Thomas proposed that they go along to Bethany that they might die with Him. Although He had fled from that village to Perea, where he could remain in’ safety and security, the Master turned toward Bethany and Jerusalem. He moved steadily south- ward into the very jaws of danger and death. The poise of Jesus, who walked alone ana apart from them as they journeyed toward Jerusalem, utterly bewildered the apostles, and they were afraid as they followed with His face set toward the holy city. It was during this final going up to the Lord's last passover that Jesus took them apart from the multitude, who also were going to attend the feast, and pointed out to the apostles the fact that He was going up to Jerusalem to complete His mission, which had been predicted by the prophets concerning His betrayal, crucifixion and resurrection. He was driven by duty to go up to Jerusalem “to give His life as a ransom for many.” Their ideas .were so con- fused and colored by their hopes for a { temporal kingdom that, although they ad recognized the Master's danger and He had revealed to them the duty that forced Him to make his last journey to Jerusalem, they did not grasp the meaning of His mes- sage. This was the third time that Jesus had tried to prepare them for His coming death and deliverance from the grave, yet they failed to com- prehend His revelation of Himself as pophet, priest and potentate. He had taught them as a prophet and predicted that the coming events were all in accordance with the divine of the Takoma Park Episcopal Broth- erhood, and H. K.

He had pointed out how, as priest, He was going to offer Him. self upon the cross to save them. He proposed to make a sacrifice that would make an atonement for the people’s sins. While He spoke to them of His coming end and clearly outlined coming events, the disciples did not comprehend the foresight of Jesus concerning His Jerusalem ex- periences. They mistook His assur- ance of coming triumph to be the commencement of His reign. The be- ginning of glory filled them with am- bitions for places in His kingdom. This caused two of the best beloved and honored of the apostolic band to Pulpit and Pew dinner committee: Mrs. Slye and Mrs. Forrest, chairmen; Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Dewhirst, Mrs. Harvey, Mrs. Leigh- {ton.

Salome, the mother of the sons of thunder, belonged to the group of women ‘who followed the Master and ministered unto Him and His disci- ples. They were members of the first Ladles’ Aid Society, who continued in their fidelity and service. as the Lord drew near to the cross. Her presence with this noble organization of wom- en enabled her sons to use her to aid them in their iniquitous scheme to secure for themselves the two prin- cipal places in the kingdom, which in spite of Christ's assurance to the con- trary, they expected would soon be established. This shows that they were dreaming of positions of power when Christ was speaking of His pas- sion; they were thinking of crowns when He was speaking of cups; they were* looking forward to glory when He was looking forward to the grave. In this unfavorable hour. Salome, who, besides being the mother of James and John, is considered by some authorities to be the unnamed sister of the Mother of our Lord, ap- proached Jesus with her selfish re- quest that her two sons be given the chief positions in the kingdom. The mother of the two apostles may have been the active agent, but Christ rec- ognized that the two, whom He had always admitted into the inner circle, were the ones who prompted her to make the request, so He directed His answer to them, His insight noted that the motive of her request was the desire for worldly pre-eminence. He saw their selfishness in seeking the places of power and glory so that others could see them in positions of honor and they would look down upon them. If Salome had asked -Jesus to help make her sons to be worthy to follow Him wherever He went prob- ably the answer would have been dif- ferent. Although both showed faith in the final outcome of the dark hour that overshadowed them and boldly claim- ed that they would willingly endure the sufferings suggested by the cups, yet Jesus did not answer their doubly Selfish request. They ignored the suf- ferings of the Master and by their re- quest for the two chief places they showed an indifference as to the wel- fare of the kingdom or the recogni- tion of their fellow apostles. This may have been due to the favors which Jesus had conferred upon them and the relationship existing between their family and the Matser's. It may have been caused by a mis- conception of the Lord's teachings. Gibson claims that this is apparent from Mark's gospel, where the two sons make the request direct: “Mas- ter, we would that Thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire,” as if to remind Him of His promise to any two of-them who should agree as touching anything they should ask, and to claim the fulfilment of it”*" If this view is correct, then the selfishness of the request 1s not mod- ified, for He did not teach that car- nal desires would be granted, for He forbids and vetoes all such requests by _His teachings. Phey never planned that their res quest should be heard by the others, for they were trying to Bet ahead of them In making their application for promotion in the kingdom. When !

Christ recognized the crudeness of their Christian chare acter and their misconception of the nature of the kingdom. He did not rebuke them, but he taught them that the way to the throne in His kingdom was not through partiality and po- litical pull, but through suffering, self-denial " and sacrificial service. They could only attain greatness by sharing His cup of suffering and service. While the Father had re- served.a place for all His children and Christ claimed that He had the right to_assign citizens to their places in His kingdom, It {s not in His power to dispose of places by partial- ity and patronage, or otherwise than In accordance with fixed principles of justice and the sovereign ordina- tion of Go He'tried to make clear~His teach- ings to them by two examples, 8o that they would understand the way to greatness was through tears, trials and trouble, as a_ result of service for others. He condemned the world's idea of greatness, that it exists in external position. and mere authority and power which enables those pos- sessing it to lord It over all those under them. The current estimates of men have run counter to Christ's teachings, for He claimed that service was the Dathway to greatness. We have seen the soldiers, scientists and selfish, sordid profiteers termed great because of the power of their wealth, Jesus did not recognize these men as standards of greatness, for He put His stamp of approval upon min- istry for the wellbeing of humanity and the glory of God. as being the way to greatness. Christ taught that the greatest thing in this life is to serve. It is in duty done, not dec- orations won or dollars accumulated, that He claims Is greatness. He claimed for Himself that He was a servant. It is due to the fact that Te has been the world's Prime Min- ister that He today is Supreme Ruler of nations and men. Ho came to minister because the greatest glory is attained onlyyin service. He that humbleth himself shall be exalted. TO SPEAK ON MISSIONS. Bishop Thurston of Oklanoma Comes Here Next Week. Rt. Rev.

The Cottage Bible Institute has opened its second semester with a 25 per cent increase in enrollment. A class in personal evangelism and Christian fundamentals, under the in- struction of Rev. Dr. C. C. McLean, brings the total of classes to twelve, and two home groups in the study of Philippians by the synthetic method are forming. A feature of the institute is the Friday afternoon class in exposi- tion of the Sunday school lesson, which meets at the Y. W. C. A., 1333 F street, at 4:45, and which is addressed in turn by leading Bible teachers of the Dis- trict. The temporary headquarters of the school are at the residence of the president, E. W.
