MARKS OF A Character, and not colorlessness, is the consequénce of Christianity, "Pet- ty and pious," are words that do. not bracket well, Saintliness is more of strength than of sweetness. Friends of Jesus develop strong personalities, like His. It is only*when we are half-way into the Christian religion that we are slaves of the passive virtues, rather than jubilant exponents of the Gospel of the strong Son of God. Characters who count, will, like Him, have both friends and foes. The craving to be popular, rather than the purpose to be right, is a sign of immaturity. Also it is a sure road to unhappiness, A truer standard than the praise of any crowd--ifor all crowds are fickle--is the approval of God. Jesus set himself thjs rule: "I do | always those things whith please the Father." As a consequence, while he had strong friends and bitter foes, as has every other virile person also, he became ultimately the fairest Figure in history; the admired and adored of the rage, The surest road to real and' lasting popularity is to be loyal to a great and permanent standard of right. That Enviable Home. Flapperism is already a failure, be- | cause it quickly became apparent that, | despite all its surrender of reticencies and reserves, it does not lead to the marriage altar, It misses the goal which every woman, however "mod- | ern" and "radical," deems most desir- | able. To smoke, to drink, to defy | conventions, to be a "pal" to men in | their less noble qualities, may seem clever and "advanced" for a period, but it seldom results in standing up | before the minister to listen to the | solemn words which every true wo- | man wants to hear. The old-fashioned | woman, who was strong in the me nally feminine qualities of home-mak- ing and idealism, is the ultimate 2 fuge of every man. v | Three women in all the history of | the world are most honored--the moth | er of Jesus, and Mary and Martha oN thy gave true hospitality to this home- less Teacher. Today Bethany is only | an insignificant village of mud houses, just around the shoulder of the Mount | of Olives from Jerusalem, but every pilgrim to the Holy City visits it as a shrine; for here was the most enviable | home, where Jesus was a familiar guest, It fairly startles us to think | what Mary or Martha and Lazarus would have missed if they had not been "given to hospitality" True, Martha was the kind of hos- tess who let her hospitality show, The wheels of her domestic ' machinery she overlooked the Guest Himself. She even grew irritable, and let the shadow of a family disagreement fall athwart the serenity of the Presence; for she called upon Jesus to r&buke Mary, who was giving the Master what he most coveted from this family of dear friends--an understanding fel.

It is poor hospitality to bes- tow, lavishly upon a guest fine food, but scant friendship. "Don't fret!" is the Lesson's mes- sage to the whole world of priceless Marthas--and we must not forget that it was Martha's efficiency which made this Bethany home a restful refuge for the tired Son of man. She merely forgot, on one occasion, the relative importance of things; and that the spi- rit of Jesus needed refreshment more than his body needed food. Mary is not loved of all women; but she had an understanding heart, and minister- | ed to the deepest desire of the Mas-| ter. We can never forget that the sub. | sequent record runs, "Now, Jesus loved Martha, and her sister Mary." "Out of the Depths."

We have cauglhit 4 glimpse of Christ in company | with his friends at Bethany; and we | are given a look at him in commun- [ ion with the best Friend, His Father {in heaven, Life was stormy for Jesus; | he had to turn for refuge to the very { heart of God. His power was some- | how mysteriously linked with prayer, So one day, discovered by his dis- ciples, in the act of praying, one of them cried impulsively, "Lord, teach | us to pray." In answer he gave them the Model Prayer, which we call "The { Lord's Prayer", and further illustrated { the characteristics of prayer by par- j able and precept. This is not the oe- | casion for a discussion of prayer, save ! to remark that every strong life knows | that it has needs beyond all the power of friends or things to satisfy. | -- Speaking Worst of the Best. Because he was always helping peo. ple--a characteristic of Christians that is" surer a test of their discipleship than any theological formula--Jesus incurred the criticism of the slaves of convention: Religion, like politics, eas- ily petrifies into "regularity"; and the rigid ecclesiastics did not approve of _. | this outburst of vital ministry. They could not deny the good works of Jesus, so they insinuated that he |cast out demons in the name of Beelzebub, the prince of demons. The logic of the critic was bad, as it usually is when spleen poisons judg- ment; for Jesus pointed out that Satan divided against himself could not re- tain his power. A recent illustration, for the reader so minded, is the col. lapse of the allies in Constantinople because of the lack of unity. In this connection Jesus laid down a principle which should be memorized by every Christian in a day that tends to schism and impotence: -- "He that is not with me is against me." of this last year of the life of the Lord are the scheming, plotting, relentless enemies 'of the ecclesiastical establish- ed order. They wanted to entangle him in his words, and they wanted an ex- cuse to destroy his life. Once a din- her host of the Master so fat forgot himself as to sneer at the failure of "| Jesus to go through the customary ceremonial cleansing rites. Stung to answer, the gentle Guest replied, "Now ye the Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter; but your inward part is full of extor- tion and wickedness. "But woes unto you Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and every herb, rand pass over_justice and the love of God: but these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Woe unto you Pharisees! for ye love the chief seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the market-places. | Woe unto you! for ye are as the | tombs which appear not, and the men | that walk over them know it not." | Foes Christ had, and "right man- J fully he dealt blows upon them. The commentators who depict Jesus as a weakling are simply uninformed. But all his foes were also foes of truth and justice and love. They were his ene- mies not because of any defeat in him, but because of his virtues. In a word, his enemies were also the enemies of | human welfare and of God. it By Juanita Hamel Posture Service Toke ncn dl owe - to gain--liks th sy?
