So completely . commonplace he was, that as Mark shows us, the natives of Nazareth couldn't believe that one of James' ; brothers could amount to anything.

All bis childhood days be knew the care and love Of the same mother Mary that Jesus had. Through all those - "silent" years when Jesus lived and worked in Nazareth. James lived and worked beside him. And yet, the strange thing Is Oat when Jesus left the earpen : ter shoe and went about "doing geed" as Peter said, James did Bet believe la him. - It seems clear from the story la Mark S ' that both Mary and the broth : en (net James only) had the idea that Jesus was eat el Us mind.

John also mentions the ' fact that Jesus' own brothers i did aot believe la I in njiflW I I il fit seems strange, yet the reason may not be hard to find. Perhaps It was a case of the old proverb, Tamlllarlty breeds contempt" Perhaps James had a sort of in feriority complex about himself, maybe he agreed with the villagers' ; ,'low opinion about bim, so that he could not oeueve inai us oroiner eould be the Christ In any case it Is plain that if miracles could ever . have compelled belief, Jesus' mir acle would have convinced James . . . but be was an unbeliever right through the day of Calvary. , .

What we do know Is What Pau tells us: that sfter bis resurrection, Jesus "appeared to James." It may well be that James was convinced by the risen Christ as be bad never been by the Car penter of Nazareth. .Be that as It may, aa time ' Went ea and Christians began te mnltlply ta Jerasalem, James . appeared as the leader ef the Christians' Home Chareh. : At the hnpertant conference held tm Jerasatem te decide the 1 ekareh'a first great controversy, : H was James whose speech was' the "test ward" before the de- Quality ef Leadership JAKES was not an accepted lead er merely because he was a brother of Jesus. There, were other brothers who remained oulte ob scure. ' James was a recognized leader because of bis personal qual ities. The reader is Invited to study these out for himself. But there is one Interesting and unusual combi nation of qualities jn this mam strictness- with- himself, together with flexible generosity In. dealing With others."'

James did not wish his own con science to bind every one else. He did not expect every one to be bound by hie own pattern. He had nigh standards and N he lived by them.

Eiiuwt NOTICE OF EXECUTORSHIP 'rrnnd having quail INSPIRATION AN EDITORIAL ttA8T THOU HEARD r word against thy neighbor? Let It Ue there; bury It there. Let It lie there and go not out; It will not hunt thaa " Thus .does the Book of Eccleslastlcus counsel against defamation the sin of tnose wnom Scripture brands as "the abomina tion of men" and the "abhorred of God." ' Defamation means to speak wltn nnt ins pallia rtf the sins or crimes of another. It is not as "bad as slander, which means lying to in jure the good name of some per son. Nevertheless it can easily be as harmful to Its victim. It is pos sible to disprove a lie. But what defense is there against the detrac tor whose 4ips speak' the truth even though his heart lack charity. ; Reputation is' of paramount lm- nnrtanna tn a man's social and busi ness life. Religion teaches that God has given every human Being ine right to a good name. It also teach- u that aach man has the duty not to Injure his neighbor's reputation. The fact that a man has Deen guuiy of wrong actions does not give an other the right to make them known. The only exception is when a great er good, such as the protection of society or the vindication of the In nocent, demands it ' "'.''. Tha rlefamep ia a choul who ex- humes the buried evil in others' lives to spread its Infection. He is the man most eager to know secrets so that he can broadcast them. He creates wrong desires in others to hear what he has to reveal. He de stroys peace in the community, giv ing rise to bitterness and dissen sion, malice and revengefulness. Some detractors think to make themselves agreeable .to others by their tale-bearing, back-biting and malicious whispering. They make a great mistake. They will always fine eager listeners. But just as surely will they earn for themselve'a a reputation which not even their most deeply offended victims would envy. .; Ultimately no one is more despised than the detractor himself.
