TRAINING THE TWELVE
International Sunday School Lesson
For March 20
Memory Selection: "Every one
who asks receives, and he who seeks
finds, and to him who knocks, it will
be opened." Luke 11:19-.
Lesson Text: Mark 6:30-32; Luke
11:1-4, 9-13.
At. the time of this lesson, the
twelve disciples had just returned
from a preaching tour of the country
side and, full of enthusiasm for the
things which they had witnessed, they
were anxious to tell Jesus "all
things, whatsoever they had done,
and whatsoever they had taught."
Jesus, ever solicitous for their wel
fare, suggested that they go with
him to a quiet place, where they could
rest and have time for private con
sultations with him, for the popular
ity of Jesus had grown to such a
place that there was no time for lei
sure, or even time for them to eat.
The rest and quiet was not for
long, because the eager crowds, seeing
that the disciples had taken a boat
and gone over to the other side of
the Sea of Galilee, followed by land
and soon arrived where the little
group were. Jesus, moved with sym
pathy for the people, ministered un
to their needs and preached unto
them until the eventide and then fol
lowed the feeding of the five thous
and. Probably realising that their lives
lacked the power that was evident in
the life of Jesus and seeing the won
derful result which came to Jesus as
he prayed, the disciples asked Jesus
' to teach them to pray. While they,
as devout Jews, had been required to
recite daily eighteen sets of prayers
of considerable length, or if hindered
by press of business, a summary of
them, the followers of Jesus realized
that they did not know how to pray.
In reply to their request, Jesus tells
them how his followers ought to
pray. What we have come to call the
"Model Prayer," or the "Lord's
Prayer," is given more fully in the
sixth chapter of Matthew. After
warning against hypocritical prayer,
Jesus says, "When . ye pray, say:
"Father." This suggests a filial re
lationship of the believer with God,
an intimate father-son consultation.
"Hallowed be thy name" is a .request
that the name of God, his revelation
or our conception of God, is to be
.holy, reverenced, or so exalted on
earth as it is in heaven.
Charles Kingsley says if God's will
were done on earth as in heaven, "It
would abolish all . the vice of the
world, and therefore the misery which
-springs from vice. Ah, that God's
will were but done on earth as it is
in the material heaven overhead, in
perfect order and obedience, as the
stars roll in their courses, without
rest, yet without haste; as all cre
ated things, even the most awful, fire
and hail, snow and vapor, wind and
storm, fulfill God's word, who hath
made them sure for ever and ever,
and given them a law which shall riot
be broken. -But above them, above
the divine and wonderful order of
the material 'universe, and the. winds')
which are God s angels, and the

The Cross of Christ His
survived the ages. It has
stood the test of time; it
has weathered the storms
of adversity and oppres
sion always triumphant'
This" gives men hope.
For life travels in a strange cyclic
pattern of births and deaths. Little
in human relations is intelligible,
little shows progress. Nations rise
and fall, battles are fought and won,
only to be reenacted time and time
again across the stage of history
until the whole scheme of life seems
meaningless and futile.
But always there is the Cross I
Whether it be of massive stone or
delicate gold and silver, still it gives
men that courage and purpose
which are so necessary for success
ful living in this perplexing world.
You can find this strength of the
Cross in your church. Plan to at
tend worship services next Sunday,
and bring your family and friends.
