HUGH T. STEVE! THE GROWING FAME OF JESUS. Mark 3: 7-12; 6: 53-56. Golden text—The common peo- ple heard him gladly.—Mark 12: 3n. Our lesson opens with the events that marked the turning point in the Mas- ter's ministry. His growing popularity had increased His fame until the Phari- sees and Herodians_joined forces in an alliance to destroy Jesus, whose preach- ing and healing had won for Him in- creasing congregations. *“The common people heard Him gladly.” Crowds, at- tracted by His ministry, followed Him when He sought rest and retirement. Recognizing His danger and knowing that He must prepare the men who would be intrusted to carry on His work after His death, the Lord had sought a secluded place on the sea coast of Galilee, planning to call His apostles. | Before He could prepare them for the greatest spiritual adventure in all his- tory, the multitudes appeared. Christ was a master of crowds. He never looked at a large assemblage with- out His heart moved with compassion for them. He knew the danger that He would face from a crowd, but He loved them and welcomed the opportu- nity presented by them to minister unto the multitudes. He saw them, not as a great mass of men, heedless, inconsi erate, always selfish and sometimes cruel. He knew the feeling of the crowds that flocked ta Capernaum from Jerusalem and all Galllee, He saw them, | not as a mass but as individuals, and read their secrets. He knew why they had come to Judea from beyond the Jordan and even from the Gentile cit- fes of Tyre and Sidon and the country surrounding them. the individual to become merged into the mass. He saw the burden that each person carried. He understood their | part in His popularity and fame. He never allowed | meeting of the C! social ostracism and financial losses.

Many in their eager- ness to touch His clothing were forget- ful of the others needing His attention From the boat the Lord could warn them concerning their spiritual ills, which men are apt to overlook in their zeal to obtain healing for their physi- cal ailments. Christ healed many, in- cluding some with plagues. “for power went out of Him and healed them all.” The danger of being crushed by the mob was nothing compared to the sub- tle one that was presented by the un- clean spirits who recognized the Lord's vower and personality. Those possessed by the unclean spirits kept falling down fore Him, and the demons confessed that “Thou art the Son of God.” Jesus silenced one that acknowledged Him to be the “Holy One of God” and rebuked others because their testimony did not come from the heart. The demons compelled to recognize Christ's power. but He refused to allow them to testafy. Our Lord was unwilling to build up Hl kingdom with the assistance of th® devil's testimony.
