Dreamers of a re- made world feel that if only they could enlist enough followers, they would carry out their great schemes almost overnight. Political candi- dates are likewise all of this mind. Almost anything in the world be got together to do it. So in the midst of a time tha' is clamorous with propagandas, it is well to sit down for a quiet con- templation of how the largest and most successful organization In history managed to get so wmwany men and women together for the prosecution of a common pro- gramme. Who can explain .he mar- vel and mystery of the Christian Church, with her growth and power throughout nineteen centur- les ? One Man's Way. So simple and natural as to need no explain ag were the begimniugs of Caristianity, The contrast be- tween the procedure of the Master and the vast aud costly ecclesiastical machinery of our day is well-niga incredible. "Once upon a time there was a man." His name was John. He was an original, a personality, a "character." He had eomathing vital and fresh to say to an ener- vated and stale time. Crowds thronged him: but. a rare few fol- lowed him. These were choice young men, questing after the best, who saw that John was the one real figure of his era. 8o they identified themselves with him and his work as the noblest cause of their gen- eration. Then, upon a wonderful day, there came to John Another, whom the Baptist promptly acclaimed as as, indeed, the expected Coming One. *"Be- hold !" cried the Herald.. And his followers had so caught the in- wardness of John's spirit, which subordinated the better to the best, that they unhesitatingly quit their old leader, at his own suggestion, and attached themselves to Jesus. For there is no other secret of spiritual success than this: to go from good to better, from bétter to best; and to follow after the high- est truth that God reveals. No "stand-patters" were these two young men quietly walking the shores of the Jordan in eager, ex- pectant conversation with the Bap- tist. He had taught them the for- ward faith, the hoping heart. And the Baptist was as glad to see John and Andrew go trom him as » higy school teacher is to have his favor- ite pupils successtully enter the uni- versity. ' Three Brands of Leadership, Ere we look into the fellowship of the followship--the marvel of the multiplication of the companions of sider the nature of léadership; for ours is often called a leaderless day. Roughly classified, leadership/ is ot three kinds; the leadership of offi- cial position; the leadership of per- sonality, and the leadership of ideas. Occasionally, one man combines all three qualifications. Mostly, dur so- called leaders are of the first group, mere officials, holders of salaried po- sitions, gaudy drum-majors, march- ing at the head of a procession which would go along almost as The International Sunday School Lesson for August 3rd ls: . "The First Disciples of Jesus."--John 1:35-51. By WILLIAM T. ELLIS jclesiasticism, and THERHOOD Let him live joyously And not too soberly, As if of saint's degree; The world's best saint is he Who makes good company!" We are trying to get back to the warm, winsome, human individual- ity of Jesus, who attracted to Him- self rough out-of-doors men of His day. His character has been over- laid with the thick plasters of ec- traditional art, quite as some of the mediaeval mas- terpieces on the walls of old churches ' have been covered up with tawdry, commonplace decora- tions. A real wrong has been done to mankind by the religious pictures which represent him as a pale, anemic, dehumanized creature wear- ing a halo. Ezra Pound, who is as- suredly not a hymn writer, has caught the reality of the Christ bet- ter than many e plous poet: IIa! we lost the goodliest fere o'all For the priests and the gollows tree ? Aye lover he was of brawny men, O'ships and the open sea. When they came wi' a host to take Our Man His smile was good to see, 'First lot these go!" quo' our Good- Fere, "Or I'll gee ye damned," says he. Aye he sent us out through the crossed high spears And the scorn of his laugh rang free, "Why took ye not me when I walked about Alone in the town ?" says he. Oh we drank his "Hale" in the good red wine When we last made company, No capon priest was the Goodly Fere. But a man o' men was he. I ha' seen him drive a hundred men W1' a bundle o' cords swung free, That they took the high and holy house For their pawn and treasury. They'll no' get him a' in' a book, I think, Though they write it cunningly; No mouse of the scrolls was the Goodly Fere, But aye loved the open sea. It they think they ha' snared our Goodly Fere, They are fools to the las* degree. "I'll go to the feast," quo' our Goodly Fere, "Though I go to the gallows tree." "Yeo ha' seen me heal the lame and blind, And wake the dead," says he, "Ye shall see one thing to master all: "Tis how a brave man dies on the tree." A son of God was the Goodly Fere That bade us his brothers be, I ha' seen him cow a thousand men, 1 have sean him upon the tree. He cried no cry when they drave the nails And the blood gushed hot and free, . The hounds of the crimson sky gave tongue, But never a cry cried he. I ha' seen him cow a thousand men well without them. Broadly speak- ing, organized Christianity to-day; has too many officials and too few!' leaders; in truth, many natural lead- ers lost their qualities of leadership when they become officials. Official- dom is timid; leaders are bold. Of- ficlals dare not outrun their organ- ization, or alienate supporters; real leaders stride forward, never stop- ping to look back over their should- ers. Other men lead by their gifts of personality. They are not necessar- ily men of ideas; we call them "born leaders." The priceless gift of at- tracting men to themselves is theirs. They have qualities that inspire con- fidence. Men trust them, and 'loyal ly follow their initiative. Happy is the community that has its share of such. sway the world by the sheer power of their ideas. They do met need tho adventitious aids of office, or the cheers of a crowd of adherents: their strength is in the inherent 'weight of their thoughts. Only the leadership of ideas ever becomes uni- versal and: immortal; for the other Other men, and the mightiest, | i H On the hills o' GaHlee, They whined as he walked out calm between, Wi his eyes like the grey 0' the sea.

A master of men was the Goodly Fere, A mate of the wind and sea. It they think they ha' slain our Goodly Fere ~ They are fools eternally.

But we are only awakening to the pres- ent possibilities of building on the basis of the best, a Bible fellowship of followers of Christianity, Passwords, grips, mnecognition signs, ritual, badges, secret oaths-- these have built up many a mighty organization. Bit a greater society than they all, the brotherhood of believers, has grown without any of them, on the one clear, simple, open basis of- following the leader whose name is Jesus. This fellowship--and history has no parallel for this won- der--quickly grows to partake of the character of its head. Life becomes big and serious and purposeful +to every man who enters heartily into the divine order of the Companions of Christ. ~ ELGINBURG.

The name of those who seek a new cure for old diseases of the human spirit is legion. All the while the real remedy is no different from that which worked two thousand years ago beneath the Syrian blue, when a group of commonplace men of the most ordinary sort, lifted their Ives above pettiness and drab routine, and became great with immortal greatness simply by following Jesus Christ.
