I-aM-iftl Wisdom * I** * 00 ” ■ Qualifications of a Preacher — on the bulletin board of the Toronto Baptist Seminary: WANTED: a young preacher — with the experience of a parrot, the sagacity of an owl, the strength of an eagle, the grace of a swan, the gentleness of a dove, the friendliness of a sparrow, up with the lark, at work with the hawk, and when they get him caged they expect him to live on the feed of a canary. CLERICUS SAYS: Clerlcua says: “How comforting the assurance must have been to the disciples, when Christ was about to depart from them, that he was riot really leaving them, but in the future world he would abide with them in a new and wonderful way. With those who love him and show their love by keeping his commands, he will make his home, beginning this relation, in this lite on earth.” Go To Phil L.

fcreatnedpii I CommentsrJjM F on Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson, the New Commandment, John 13:12-17; 34, 35; John 14:21-24, for Sunday, March 21The new commandment of love to God and man may well be called the eleventh commandment; it is all comprehensive and covers the ten commandments of the Old Testament. V.lt. “So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to youl" The disciples were too ambitious for self-ap-praisal and they needed an object lesson of humility. *• V. 13. “Ye call me Master and Lord; and ye say well; for so I am.” His washing the disciples’ feet was not a repudiation of his Lordship. Though we may have a different position of recognition, in service, all men are equal. V. 14. "If I then your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.” Same interpret thia verse as a church ordinance, a second memorial. All need to see In it Jesus’ example of humble service. Every occasion for loving devotion to a fellow being is an opportunity for fulfilling the spirit of Jesus’ example and command. V. 15. “For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done.’’ Jesus demonstrated true greatness. Care needs to be taken that it is the spirit rather than any form that affords the experience of true greatness; of course, whop the spirit is within, it will naturally express itself; otherwise, it is lost. V.lg. ’Verily, verily, 1 say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord: neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.” Her* is reached the high point of Jesus’ teaching. While true greatness is seen in service, there is to be no self-exaltation because of imputed greatness. V. 17. “If ye know these things, happy ire ye if ye do them.” "A.

man is not happy,” said Wesley, “because he knows much but because he receives much of the divine nature, and is, in all his conduct, conformed to the divine will.” V. 34. “A new commandment, I give unto you, That ye love one another; as 1 have loved you that ye also may love one another." This commandment was new because of Jesug’ emphasis on love as an inward principle about which the Old Testament law had little to say. V. 35. “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples." It was a mark of discipleship that they loved eack other. This is one of the marks of a Christian witness. V. 21. “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me; and be that loveth me shall be loved by my Father; and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” Christ had set forth iove as a test of discipleship, and now ha sets forth obedience to his words as a test of his love. A man must be in perfect harmony with Christ before he obeys him gladly; this harmony comes with “being born again.” V. 22. “Judas saith unto him. not Iscariot. Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us and not unto the world-V’ The manifestation of Christ is spiritually apprehended so that those of the world can not understand Jesus. V. 23. “Jesus answered and said unto them. It a man love me he will keep my words; and my Father will love him and we will come unto him. and make our abode with him.” Where the Spirit dwells, there the Father and the Son dwell. Here is the secret of God’s abiding presence. This is a grqat Christian victory. V. 24. "He that loveth me not, keepeth not my sayings; and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.” We must highly i regard God’s word. Christ was God’s ambassador and spoke in the language of his Father. We must handle his word reverently as seekers after the truth. —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the division of Christian education, national council of the Churches of Christ in the U. S.

Deep convictions, a trustworthy conscience, profound loyalty to the highest ideals, are produced by Christian fellowship and a life surrendered to God. Just how much one desires such convictions, such a conscience and the highest loyalties is determined by voluntary Christian fellowship and paying the price of being willing to be unselfish in all things.
