Historic Hero’s High Hours Os Helpfulness And Honor Overlooked Aspect of Career of Christ, ‘‘The Man of Sorrows”—Memories of the Days When Needy Multitudes Thronged Him.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS By WILLIAM T. ELLIS “If you can meet with triumph and disaster. And treat these two imposters just the same” are the lines from Kipling s- “If” that mean most to public men. Has ' there ever been a great figure in the affairs of mankind who has not had both his ups and his downs, his periods of popularity and his | periods of disfavor? God pity the man whose philosophy is fitted only to guide him through golden ! hours. As in most things else, the life ■ of Jesus was represented in this . also. He knew how to be exalted I and He knew how to be abased. In. | both experiences He maintained i the steady mind of one bent only i upon doing His work and upon fulfilling His mission, regardless of ' the attitude of the people toward Him His was an inner peace which no outer storms could ruffle. High Hours of a Lowly Heart I Nevertheless, pulpit and printed page have been somewhat less than fair in their presentation of the career of Christ. He is nearly always represented as “The Man of Sorrows,” "despised and reject- ( ed of men.” Books have been writ-1 ten about Him as “The Great Failure." The figure that has been : oftenest portrayed is that of the i misrepresented, maligned, tnisun- ' derstood Victim. The casual commentator would almost be warranted in declaring that Jesus walked a solitary way of suffering ito the Great Repudiation at CalI cary. In truth, though. His brow wore ! the chaplet of laurel before it bore j the crown of thorns. By common ' standards, Jesus was a great sue ' cess before He became a great apparent failure. He heard the huz- ‘ zahs of admiration before ever I His ears were smitten with cries : of "Crucify Him!” Jesus tasted all I the sweets of success: popularity, power, adulation. Our Lesson deals with the period when His world was going wild over the Master. His name was upon everybody's lips. He was the i topic of talk everywhere.

' marvelous works. People made pilgrimage Just to sec and hear Him. Even when He sought soli-, I tude in the wilderness, “they came to Him from every quarter.” As His disciples said, "All men seek for Thee." A City of Many Memories In the old lakeside city of Cappernaum, where Jesus lived at this time, he was the season's sensation. "All the city was gathered together at the door." The whole varied assortment of human needs fairly mobbed this new Healer. It must have been a comfort to Christ in His bitter hours of rejection to i recall the days when He was the ! center of a tumultuous, outreach- : ing throng whom He helped. Few spots make the earthly ministry of Jesus seem so real and near as the impressive Capernaum ruins. Amidst these desolate pillars and marbles, one's imagina- ; tion recreates the scene when this long-dead city was vocal with acclaim of Chrikt; when its streets, now buried or deserted were thronged with tumultous multitudics all bent on getting a glimpse of the new Healer-Prophet. | There is no better place in the world to muse upon the popular i Christ, whom this eity so signally i honored for a season; and to contrast the present universal praise 'that is accorded to Christ Getting Away From Crowds Actors and actresses who are in I the limelight acquire almost a mania for more limelight. Most theatrical quarrels are over this question. A passion for publicity poss- ' esses them. Note how differently the really i great behave, as shown by the con- ■ duct of Christ. At the apex of His prestige He fled from the crowds into the desert places. He knew the spiritual perils of praise and pop- ' ularity: so He was true to His own invariable spiritual standard: “The Father Who seeth in secret.” He | could treat both triumph and disaster as imposters; in the serene knowledge that, "He that judgeth me is the Lord.” Woe to the worker who has no surer test of success than the fickle multitude s applause! And doubly woe to the busy and successful person who knows not the art of retreating far from the world's noisy echoes to from the worlds noisy echoes to the quiet of communion with God. Another noteworthy fact about thc behavior of Jesus in the midst of His popularity, with a city going wild over Him. was that He deliberately turned His back on it all and made a healing tour of the towns and villages of Galilee. True there were all the sick He could serve in Capernaum, but His mission called for the creation of foci

of interest and service in as many places as possible. Ills call was to the whole world- Had He waited I until all the need in Capernaum was met, He would never have j passed outside the city gates. This ! whole phase of the life of Jesus | is a study in efficiency and statecraft. Afoot, in the lowliest fashion moving from village to village, and dependent upon local hospitality always, the Master made a model ’ medical missionary itineration. He Couldn't Help Helping At home in Capernaum, or abroad throughout Galilee at this time, Jesus gave Himself without stint to a ministry of healing. This i He did, not merely to advertise His mission, but also because of His unwearied compassion for individuals Matthew quotes, In this connection, the fulfillment of Isaiah's word, “Himself took our infirmities and bare our diseases.” Freely translated, that means that He suffered with every sufferer He ' met. A sort of audacity of helpfulness marked thc manner of the Masti er Thus. He even touched the un- ! touchable leper with His own hand. To get the force of that, one must have had personal observation of the repulsiveness of lepers. I have I seen leprosy in Palestine, in India, in China, and in Japan; and I ask no diviner token of the character ■ earthly Christ than that He touch- ' ed the leper, and healed him. Not until later did His world . really understand anything of Jes-1 us as a Redeemer and Messiah; all they knew of Him was His helpfulness and His words of wisdom. Because He ministered to them, for a period the populace crown- ' ed Him with all their crowns. SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS After crosses and losses, men i grow humbler and wiser.—Franklin.
