PAGE FOUR mmMgnm UNITED STATES SENATOR | i mm?m?w muBirrr As we close the eventful year of | 1037 and look to 1938, it seems prop- : er to cite that political events as re- ! <XJ\ted in 1937- -a hundred years ago f heir a certain similarity to those | of the year now catling". This is true j <k.ppite the fact that the tempo of | living is now faster and everyday j happenings are tipder more complex j oond itioiis. Then we had, as now, in the White ; House a President of the people, j adored and followed. Then we had, ; -IE nay .-j rhi?^f AVAi'iifiw whntu PV- I ery effort was to improve the status j of the average man. Then we had, | as now, a head of our government j whose every ambition and every | move was questioned by the groups representing: so-called "big business.' Then we had. as now. a President whose dreams of peace were termed fljy a few as dresuhs of war. That we had, as now, in the "White House a man whose efforts to life the standards of the mass of citizens j were branded as designed to change \ our very form of overrunent. What has happened in the iJnif.cd ! suites during the last hundred \ years, is living proof that the crit- ] ?es of Andrew Jackson Were wrong,; Jts Lhote who qusetion the motives, j <and sincerity of President Roosevelt j today.

The parallel in the career of the ' l-.vo men are most significant, so , that it has after, been mentioned in j congress. This holiday season i3 a; timely occasion to mention it again, j On I he f loor of the senate, a notr ed senator of a hundred years ago said of Jackson: " where is there a chief magistrate of whom so nvuch evil has "oeeu predicted, and from whom so nvuch good has come? Never has any man entered upon the chief' magistracy of a country under such appalling predictions of ruin and woe! Never has any one been .-.o pursued with direful prognostications! Never has any one been so beset and impeded by powerful combinations of political and moneyed confederates!" Keeping in mind that the above words were uttered about President Jackson a century ago. it can be said that they could well be used today in : .speaking of President Roosevelt. ! Jackson was charged with endanger- ! ir.g the public peace with foreign j nations; with destroying do roes lie j prosperity at homsc, with ruining In-; dustry, commerce ami manufactur-! ers; destroying the currency and! what nor.. A hundred years later we find the same charges being made against President Roosevelt. Why? Because he dared to champion the cause of the average man. and has continued to champion that cause And time will prove his critics wrong as times has proven that the critics of Jackson were wrong. What has, transpired since the collapse of our country was predicted a hundred years ngo is evidence enough oi what we may expect ahead. Many things will he changed in tlie future as they have been changed in the past. But through it all cur great system of government wiil be maintained. New platforms, new programs, now -policies and perhaps even new parties will come as they have come in tiie past. Yet. they will not change the basic principles of government. 1 Those principles will stand as they ! now stand. Under them our couni try will move, ahead and prosper ; Upholding those principles is Frank ; iirt D. Hoosevclt.

Oii?;ln. Theme. Beginning a New Year is always j a thrilling experience. The thought j of an unwritten record is a pleasant j ! one and at the same time most sol | emnizing. We must take heed, you | and 1. what wc write upon thai page : which lies before us with the invitj ing caption?"1!>38." Next to having New Year's day j fall on Sunday, it is most appropri- j ate that the Lotd's day should come between the holiday of yesterday spent with our family and friends, ana the work-day on the morrow, when we begin the year's labors Today wc tarry in God's house to pray and counsel together in the ligiu or ills noiy ivora regaruiog the new year of grace and opportunity. We begin today a six-month study of the Gospel of Mark, which presents Christ as the Servant of God. It is the Gospe! of the mighty acts j of divine power, rather than of I words. It is characterized by | energy and spontaneity. It moves i rapidly. The characteristic words I are "straightway," "immediately," J and "forthwith." which are used | more than forty times, i Before considering our lesson for } today, wc would undoubtedly like to i "meet the author." John Mark was j the son of the Mary in Jerusalem in i whose home was "the upper room" ! where so many important events | took place. He was a cousin of | Barnabas and went with -him and j Paul on the first missionary journey. ; For some reason he lost heart and went home, much In Paul's distress, j Happily we find that Hie young mar. I redeemed himself in Paul's eslimsj tion and was later well spoken of by (tim tCoi 4:10, Plii'e. 24, arid I Tim 4:11). The lesson text chosen tor our "preview" of the Gospel is one which shows the weakness of human ambitions as contrasted with the true spirit of humble service which characterized Christ. I. Selfish Ambition Rebuked (vv. 35-41). Ambition is not in itself wrong, but when it becomes so extreme that it projects self forward at the j expense yi y.ners it necorries scinsn j and destructive. The fact that these ] men were evidently earnest and ] were, indeed, seeking a place with ' the Tjord in his glory does not j change the situation. They were ; selfish even in dealing with holy things. James and John had asked for a great honor in the kingdom, but had not sought to share in the suffering that preceded it. Their own ignorance of what was i involved, their own weakness, their ! observation of God's hand in the j carrying out of his own plans, i should have deterred them. There ; is such a thing as holy boldness, but there is also such a thing as unholy temerity. II. Sacrificial Service Defined (w. 42-45). Christianity is not organized after the manner of secular government (v. 42). Much of the mischief thai has come to pass in the church is the result of "running the church' as an organization, when it stioulc be allowed to develop as a living organism. Anyone who observes with even ; " little care knows that the church o Jesus Christ is hindered most seri ously by the presence of pride ant selfish ambition. Some people wil not work unless they can rule. Theii money is withheld unless it buys fo them a dominating interest. Thi pastor is persona non grata unles: he recognizes the desires of tin "right" people. None of these thing are done as obviously as our word would suggest. There is much care ful "fixing" and "wire-pulling" be hind the scenes. But it amounts t exactly the same thing, and it i all entirely foreign to the spirit c Christ. Are there then no Christians wh humbly serve the Lord? Yes, prais his name, there are many, and whei ever they are found they are the sal of the earth. God uses and blesse them to his own glory. They ma not be (and often are r.ot) in "pos tions of leadership," but they ar actually the leaders of the church i its true work on the earth. Man Man is by nature weak; he : born in and to a state of depeni ence; he therefore naturally seel and looks about for help.
