.One of the interest.'.ng aspects
of the clash between India and
Red China is that such a war
pits the one count y which must
be the world's two most highlv
populated countries against each
other. ,
Red China contains approxi
mately 700,000,000 pesons. In.
dia's population is estimated at
438,000,000 as of 1961. Thus to
day's accurate figure for Indi?
might be nearer 450,C00,C00.

is sparsely populated. The es-J

220,000,000. And because Russk
contains many times the total

geopolitical . experts who say
Russia is come a target for fu

of these countries.

Memory Selection: "The Spirit
of the Lord is upon me, because
he has anointed me to preach
?ood news to the poor. He has
ent me to proclaim release to
the captives and recovering of
sight to the blind, to set at lib
erty those who are oppressed,
to proclaim the acceptable year
of the Lord." Luke 4:18-19.
Lesson Text: Mark 1:14-45.
The puipose of our study to
day is to show how Jesus be
gan his work and to indicate the
need for disciples to carry on his
ministry today.
The Gospel of Mark is an at
tempt to proclaim the message
that Jesus is the Christ. Our
last lesson introduced Jesus' pub
lic ministry with the stories of
his baptism and temptation.
Now we move quickly beyond
these events and encounter Jesus
4 as he preaches, invites men to
jecome his disciples ana neals
3 V,,.,... ciV
As Jesus began his ministry
in Galilee, he spoke the same
message that John the Baptist
had spoken earlier . . . "The
time is fulfilled, and the king
dom of God is at hand; repent,
and believe in the gospel."
(Mark 1:15).
What is this Kingdom? What
are the signs of its coming? The
kingdom of God means, prim
arily, the reign, or the rule, of
God. There can be no kingdom
without a king. Where God
reigns, there is his Kingdom.
Lot us note hew Jesus' King
dom mission is unfolded in the
Gospel. First, Jesus preached
that the Kingdom was at hand.
Then he invited some fisher
men to become his followers.
Finally he showed that the mo
tive behind the Kingdom's com
ing and the meaning of its com
ing was the grace of Gcd. which
heals and restores men to whole
ness. Jesus called his first four fol-
S' lowers using a personal invita
tion: "Follow- . me.". But -note
that Jesus did not at this point
ask who they thought he was.
This same later. He asked only
that they go with him, to be
with him in fellowship and
service.
To be called to discipleship is
to be called to a life of discip
line. To be a disciple is to be
disciplined for some cause. Thus
discipleship is always the cen
tering of life around some domi
nant conviction. Jesus called
for commitment to the Kingdom.
This was to be sought first,
above all else. And with his
disciples, Jesus proceeded to his
Kingdom tasks. He preached
and he healed. The people were
amazed at the authority with
which he preached, and were
astounded at the wonders he
performed. The Kingdom was
breaking into their lives, and
awe and wonder were the only
appropriate responses.
Jesus' mission ' and achieve
ment stand as continuously im
portant events. He announced
for all time the kingdom of God.
He forces us to decision and
calls every man even men to
day to follow him. Christ does
not ask first of all: Who do
you say 1 am? He asks prim
arily that we come and go with
him, that we be with him. Per
haps through this living, per
sonal relationship we shall come
to know who he is and can con
fess with the disciples, "You are
'the Christ."
Tc say this is all that Christ
asks of s i to understate mat
ters, for this is to ask a great
deal. This invitation caused the,
early .disciples to leavfe their
homes, families and jobs. One
who reads the New Testament
is often surprised to see that,
of the great multitude who
came to watch and listen, only
a few really followed. What
Jesus demands is difficult to
give, and only a few respond.
And yet Christ comes to us
and calls for disciples. We may
be required to leave our past-
our old ways of thought and ac
tion, our cherished idols, our ow.n
personal, ambitions. He asks us
to acknowledge , the kingship of
God; to say, "Jesus is Lord,"
and to follow him resolutely.
Indeed, perhaps one of the great
failures of the church today is
that we do riot present Christ
(with the true radicality of his
dema.nd. We do net want to of
fend, people. We -make , it easy
for them to become "Christians."
We want, to present a ; Christ
who is acceptable to everyone,

THE CHURCH FOR ALL...
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest fac
tor on earth for the building of
character and good citizenship.
It ii a storehouse of spirit u al val
ue!. Without a strong Church,
neither democracy nor civiliza
tion can aurvive. There are four
aound reasons why every person
should attend services regularly
and aupport the Church. They
are:- (1) For his own sake. (2)
For his children's sake. (3) For
the sake of his community and
nation. (4) For the sake of the
Church itself, which needs his
moral and material support.
Plan to ro to-church regularly
and read your Bible daily.

.Timmv was so fascinated bv his now jroMfish
that we thought he'd forgotten about the other one.
Then, suddenly, he looked up and asked, "Jlommy,
will this one die too?"
I tried, as gently as I could, to tell him that, in
time, all things die. And as I did so, I realized how
valuable it is for a child to have even as small a,
pet as a goldfish. For in observing a pet even in
suffering the loss of one a child begins to learn
a great deal about life, in a natural and understand
able way.
But I warned myself, it is important to realize
that he is learning only the visual, material part cf
the lesson. In order to understand what he is seeing,
and what he is feeling, he must be taught its
spiritual meaning. This is why religious education
is so important. That is why Jimmy attends church
with us . . . and he'll start church school, next fall.
