Luke 9: 51-56. The Lemon of Pa- tienee 1 In every age and in every move- ment for human betterment, the same intolerant spirit appears. It would forbid all activity but its own. It (would make itself and its agencies the only true representatives at Jesus Christ. The words of Jesus lift us out of the strife of parties and of sects. We learn tolerance and gen- erous appreciation of the good done by those who differ from us. We learn in every forward movement to co-operate heartily with all other peo- ple and institutions which have the same end in view. We learn that God's workmen are in many (ite.?,,) and that name, or form, or party feeling should never hinder the fullest and freest co-operaticn in every good work. Of this passage, W. N. Clarke writes: "Jesus expressly"'told His fol- lowers to recognize as their brother! the man who was doing His work, though he might not follow with them . or dig it in their way.

The Lesson of Co- operation. A "The little ohildren." The disciples had a high sense of their Master's importance and of the value of His time. He should be occupied only with important people, people of rank and station. Women who brought little children to Him were not to be en- couraged. They rebuked them. Jesus did get angry sometimes, and this was Chg of the occasions of His anger. "Let the children come," He said, "for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The simplicity, the truth, the trust- fulness, the opcn-mindedness of little ehildren-these are the qualities which shall mark those who are to enter in and possess the kingdom. How much the words of Jesus in there lessons must appeal to those who have the care of children, whether in the home, the school, the Sunday school, the orphanage, or the children', hospital! Jesus pronounces highest eulogy upon all such service. None shall be greater"m the kingdom‘ of heaven, none rank higher in the) new social order that in yet'to be, than the mother, the teacher, and the nurse. The new age is to be an age of faith, and it is children who show; us the way of perfect faith. I l, "Who was the greatest'." When 'questioned about it they were ttsham.., ed of their debate and did not answer] They had, no doubt, been thinking of that kingdom of material aplendori and power which they still expected! Jesus was going to set up. Which all them should have first place.' Who’ should be greatest? They were iii? of widely different gifts and qualities and they may have discussed the! question of what gifts and qualities!, would be necessary for greatness inl such a kingdom. Jesus answers their) question, and His answer is complete! and ttnal. Greatness is through service, even through lowliest service. "If any man would be first, he shall; be last of all, and minister of all." For: example, Jesus took a little child ini His arms. To receive, care for, pro- tect such a little one is to receive the Lcrd Himself. To minister to one of the least .is to minister to the King.‘ To do good to a human soul is to tender high and holy service to God. Compare Luke 9: 46-48. Mark 10: 13-16.
