1 - ~ -"■■■ — - Lonely Leader’s Program For A Successful Life I - - Misunderstood By His Closest Friends, Jesus Patiently Proclaimed the Principles of the Good Life.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS ‘‘What terrible loneliness!” cried Carlyle after meeting Queen Victoria. The truth is as old as the existence of great men in great places. Our present Sunday School Lesson sets it forth graphically and rather tragically. To be patient with petty people, to acquire their viewpoint, to accept them as they are, and gradually to help them to become what they ought to be—that is the Jesus way, as set forth in this Lesson. It is he program of true greatness, which is forever tinged with the compassionate father spirit. » When You Are Not Understood Strong men do not often pour out their souls in search of sympathy. Yet to share the burden of one’s spirit with a sympathetic friend is, at some time or other, the desire of everybody. And that is one office of friendship. So Jesus, after the Transfiguration, opened the floodgates of His innermost being to the little group closest to Him. They were His dearest friends, His intimates who would deny Him this boon of friendship, the confessional of camradeship? Therefore He unveiled to them the vision that was ever before His own eyes of Gethsemaue. the judgment hall, Golgotha and the tomb. This was His passion, the supreme and engrossing concern of His life. He must share it with His friends, for His own sake and for theirs. The very deeps of that great Soul were opened up to the vision of the twelve. But they did not understand! This was, indeed, treading the winepress alone. In extremest degree, then was repeated the experience of all great spirits, when they speak on one plane and are Interpreted on another; when the finest that is in them is received in the coarsest fashion. Nothing is commoner than this experience of being misunderstood. Observe how well Jesus behaved. The overwhelming burden on , His soul, and the unappreciativeness of His soul, and th ness of His friends, did not embitter Jesus, nor blind Him to the life about Him. Our sorrows and onr joys may not be permitted to eclipse our neighbor’s needs. Nothing can be an excuse for forgetting other people. The Squabbling Saints If in all Capernaum that day i there was any really good society, any spiritual perception, any Chris- . likeness, we surely would expect i to find it among the Twelve. Their leaders were still under the spell of the Transfiguration. All of them , had heard the agonized self-revela-tion of their Leader, as He had j talked of His approaching deatli and resurrection. He turned to them for sympathy — and found them squabbling over their relative greatness! There are few scenies in the New Testament more tragic than this. This is the supreme heresy of our day. None of the doctrinal errors with which the ancient Church Councils dealt is comparable to it. i A layman or a minister of a ' church, setting himself up to have the preeminence — what else is this than he repudiation of the j life and words of Jesus? No schism caused by belief or disbelief is half i so hurting o the kingdom. Thus to deny the sovereignty of the Lord Jesus over our own spirits is worse than to deny His divinity. Those contentious, ambitious, self-seek-ing, Christ-forgetting disciples were the first exponents of religi ion's greatest heresy. A prescription for Success Nothing is more needed in a de- ' mocracy than the ideals of Jesufl. His counsel is fundamental: If any man would be first, he shad I be . . . servant to all.” There we I have the soundest advice upon "success” ever given. That teaching works. In fact, like all the other truths He sets forth, Jesus embodied this in His own life before He put it into words. He proved it. That door is open to everybody. There is literally nobody who can- »»»»***** The Sunday School Lesson for May 8 is "Cooperating in Service.” —Mark 9:30-41. »»**♦**•* ««»*»»*•* not serve, jye may "lift lame dogs

over stiles” — and get after those who lame them. We may remove r banana peels from the sidewalk, ’, and help keep folks from throwing ' them there. There are always the hungry of body and spirit to be fed. I know a man who always givan extra penny to the newsboy, , and another who is careful to ’• i write letters of condolence. For a ’ person with a passion for service , every day is full of glorious opporf tunities. Never mind about recog- " niion; that was the microbe that * I troubled the twelve. Just to be > ; helpful is to walk the way chartB i ed by Jesus, and hallowed by His l own footsteps. , I The Indignation of Holiness | Let nobody suppose that the f | simplicity and gentleness of the ideals of Jesus mark Him as a weakling. In this Lesson we find ’ that the gentle Jesus, whose patience seemed limitless, and who could endure neglect and even int suits to Himself, flamed forth and ( “was moved with indignation” when He saw His stupid diaciples turning children away from Him. i Look out for the holy wrath of a great saint. Jesus opened the vials of His intense feeling, and pour- ' ed them upon the heads of His blundering friends. 1 Then it was that He declared, in ’ deathless terms, the fundamental law of His kingdom: "Suffer the little children to come unto Me; forbid them not; for to such be- , longs the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in nowise . enter therein. And He took them in His arms, and blessed them, I laying His hands upon them.” That law still runs. The child's ■ 1 kingdom is coming. The preeminence of our schools, and the multiplicity of laws attuned to child wel- . fare, and the marvelous growth of , he Sunday School, all are indica- ’ tions of the present fulfillment of the words of Jesus. The parent and the Sunday School teacher have a great and noble part in working ' out this Christ-ideal. They are factors in the kingdom of heaven and in the kingdoms of earth for they ' are dealing with the stuff of which I states are made. ’ SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS A good conscience is a soft pillow.—German Proverb. » • • ' He that has character need have ■ no fear of his conditions: charac- ' ter will draw conditions after it. — Beecher. • * * And I smiled to think God’s greatness flowed arouiid our incom- ’ pleteness, ; Round our restlessness His rest. 1 —Elizabeth Barrett Browning. 1 * ♦ ♦ Cheerfulness and content are ’ great beautifiers and are famous preservers of youthful looks. ■ Dickens. * * * Where there is no vision, the people perish. — Proverbs 29:18. ♦ * * We are writing a gospel, A chapter each day.
