MANY A STORY has, been writ ten around the theme of a man . wh kjiow: & nly fhort while to live. But the best of Ahese It "theVstory of Jesu. ft. Is the best . not only because it: I ,true;vlKls tfie story of the , best man known to his tory. We Christians go further than IHat.' We believe he' was Perfection' In all hit i human III .. J t u t way of f acini death is the fade itvthe way his (olloweri will chooie., . , Heart at Leisure F'OR ONE thing, Jesus did not try to conceal from himself or others the fact that be would' shortly die. Through all that happened, he wat wire of hit death. Ha neither thut hit ayet to the inevitable, doc mourned over It. k ri-,: ; . ! J New In our sad "timet, with ' l death to near ta all of as, the ' approach of death It not some i thing to Ulk about at if It wera an event af the 21st century. ; Death may eome ta any of aa toon; death la very likely to eome to many of as soon; and : sooner or later, death la eer-..,' tain ta come to all of as. Facing death may bring out all a maa'a hidden selfishness. From the moment be knows his days are limited, he may think of noth ing hot himself and his "chanc es" to escap. ' '," Jesus, on the contrary, ' under ho I accepting I Illusions about escape. death quietly, day by day thought of others rather than of. himself. His Friend's and God '? rANY PERSONS, ta the felt Dresence of death. : witnaraw Into themselves. They cut "the" ties that have bound them to other, they set their facet "outward' bound." Not so with Jesus. While it was still day. be would not act as If It were night So we find Mm tightenirig up the bonds of friendship. , 'j- It Is aa InteresUng fact that . f all Jesus' living dayjftyose . which were remembejfidrbeat ) were those which caae :Jkist be fore his death. Part-iMhe- . on fee this may be -that hi ... Mends came closer to Mm la those day; there was J b Mm ey, a greater warmth, be tween Mm and hla eld friend than there had ever been. Evea when he prayed la Gethteman he waa not content to pray alone. If there waa none to watch with Mm and In some dim way share hi agonle, It wa -. because hi friend were not awake to Ma need, not beeaase he In any way turned Ma back on them. .' ',: ." Again, we find Jesus' prayer-life growing Intense in those last days and nights. Nowhere else from Jesus' whole life is such a- long prayer recorded as the one John puts Into the story Mark tell so briefly of the last supper (John 17). Not in Jesus' whole life before, though he prayed early and Often, do we hear of such agony of prayer as that in the garden before Judas came. He not only turned to his friends, and turned to God, but it is plain that he wished of all things most to bring hit friends nearer to God., .'. ' ''; t Yet how many ' Christiana - are there who, It they knew death would be coming for them within the week, would think of others' spiritual wel fare rather than their own? How many would help to prepare others for God, and hot themselves alonet. :.''( . '"';. '"'": ' '!',:'(' ' '".' . First, a Good Life . THE CHURCH has always been a bit suspicious about "death ' bad repentance." WelwtfW It can be real; but over a period, of two thousand years it hat'eervtlced that most people who fiKjdeWjr'Aurn good in the presence of death are likely to be just as bad a ever if death postpones his visit.
