. ..With this lesson we begin another
quarter's consideration of the Gospel
of Service (according' to Mark), the
i aim of which ia to lead us to appre
ciate how Jesus in his life and teach
ing emphasised service to all men; to
help us devote our lives to the task
of building a new world in accordance
with the ideals of our Lord.
In order to get away from the mill
ing throngs which accompanied him
and his disciples everywhere they
went, and also to seek a place of re
tirement and rest in order that he
could instruct his faithful twelve,
Jesus left Capernaum and went to
the borders of Tyre and Sidon and
entered into a house, probably that
of a friend where he thought he could
find seclusion. This was not to be,
however, for as Hark declares, "he
could not be hid."
Hearing that Jesus was in the
neighborhood, a distressed mother a
Syrophoeniciaa by race sought him
out,, and falling at his feet, besought
him that he east out a demon which
had possessed her little daughter.
In order to test her faith, Jesus gave
-what seems. to be a scornful reproach
to the woman, when he said, "Let the
children first be filled; for it is not
meet to take the children's bread and
cast it to the: dogs." Matthew, in
recording the same incident, quotes
Jesus as saying, "I am not sent but
unto the lost sheep of the House of
Israel." In other words, Jesus want
ed to see Just how this woman, a
Gentile, would respond to the news
that the blessings, both physical and
spiritual, which he came into the
world to bring, were meant primarily
for the Jews God's chosen people.
;:.,Jlany of us would have turned
away m indignation from such a re
tort. But . not so this mother. She
acknowledged everything that Jesus
aid to be true, that the Jews were
entitled to the bread, but that no one,
no matter how proud or selfish, would
deprive a dog of the., crumbs which
fall from the table.. So great; was her
faith1 in the healing power and the
compassion of Jesus, that she was
willing to humble herself in the dust
if by so doing h" oold obtain the
bjessing she requested." '
Jesus was aw completely won to
her upon her reply that he " said:
"For this saying, go thy way; the
When she arrived 1 home she found
her child healed. Through this mira
cle, Jesus taught his disciples that
faith and healing and works of mercy
are not a matter of race, nor family
nor tradition,' .that even the hated
Gentiles were the children of God,
and as such were entitled to be served
by him. This was a truth that was
very hard for the disciples to under
standa truth that many of us stum
ble over even today. ' We cannot
seem to grasp the fact that all men
are. God's children, whether . their
skin is black or white, red or yellow,
and that their souls are equally pre
cious in his sight .
Upon leaving the borders of Tyre
and Sidon, Jesus went through the
midst of Decapolis. While passing
through, some friends brought to
Jesus a man who was deaf and who
had an impediment in his speech,
asking that Jesus lay his hand on the
man. Taking the man aside from
the multitude Jesus did everything
possible to arouse the man's confi
dence and expectancy. About all the
man could do was to see, so Jesus
used sign language. He put his
fingers into his ears, and he spat and
touched the man's tongue and then,
looking up to heaven, he sighed and
said unto him, "Ephphatha, that is,
Be Opened." Immediately his ears
were opened and the bond of his
tongue was loosed. Knowing that
the publicity attached to such a mir
acle would deprive him of any oppor;
tunity for seclusion, he charged those
about him that they should tell no
man, but they, probably through
natural enthusiasm, could not hold
the good news. And everyone who
heard about it was astonished, de
claring, "He hath done all things
well; he maketh even the deaf to
hear, and the dumb to speak."
What wonders could be wrought in
the name of Christ if we,, like the
Syrophoenician mother, could display
such wonderful faith, or if we could
have our deaf ears opened and our
dumb tongues loosened. Robert
Stuart MacArthur declares, "In all
congregations there are those who
are dumb so far as concerns the giv
ing of testimony for Christ.. How
many there are who have powerful
impediments in their speech! They
are voluble in the marts of trade;
they are eloquent in speaking of
politics; but they are pitifully silent
when called upon to give testimony to
the healing power and redeeming
love of Jesus Christ." ...v.

By WILL ROGERS
TTHE other day Junior came honw
from school with a new boob

"A prise," his mother replied,
