WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Jesus Washes the Feet of the Disciples

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for March 7: Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet.—John 13: 1-17. By Wm. E. Gilroy, D. D. Editor ot The Congregationalist The title of this lesson, as a topic for young people and adults Is, "The Spirit of Christianity Illustrated.” There could not be a better title, for though the lesson takes us far oft into the distant eastern scene and into customs widely removed from our daily life, the incident that it records illustrates the teaching and practices of the Master as these must be manifested In the modern environment. Just because modern customs differ so widely from those of the time of Christ, arid because modern life has become so much more complex there is all the more reason that we should • perceive with clearness the elemental nature of the Gospel In Its ideals of meekness and lowliness, love and service. Note how this lesson begins In love, and In love as tested by the most crucial of all experiences. Jesus is facing his last hour. He knows that a way of tragedy and trial lies before him, and it Is in this crisis that love Is his siystaiijing power. Nor Is It only the love that others bear to him; chiefly it the love that he bears to them. How often we seek the love of others to uphold us without realizing what sources of strength are found In giving our hearts to the power of love. Jesus "having loved his own that were In the world, loved them unto the end*” He is conscious that Judas Is about to betray him; but conscious likewise of the divinity of his own mis sion, he gives to the disciples an unforgetable lesson In the divinity of service. The record Is that “rising from supper be laid aside his gar ments, took a towel and girded him self.” Then, pouring water Into a basin, he began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel. Question by Peter Peter, always ready to question what Jesus did if it did not fall in with his own conceptions of what was right and seemly, raised objection. “Lord,” he said, “dost thou wash my feet?” The reply of Jesus is very enlightening in view of what happened to Peter in later years “What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter.” But Peter is still obdurate. He will not allow his Master to assume will preach in the morning on “The Mastery of Small Things,” and at night, ."Knowing God.” * * * THE REV. ELMER JONES will preach Sunday morning on “With One Accord,” and at night Mrs. C. R. Gannaway of New York City, representing the Near East Relief, will speak.

the Indignity of washing his feet. But the Master points out that this is a symbol of unity with him. Then Peter's reply Is as impulsive and surprising as his former protest, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head." How beautiful Is the word of Jesus in reply! “He that is washed needetli not save to wash his feet,’ but is clean every whit.’’.How richly these words lift us above all symbolic purification into the reality that the humblest rite signifies. The washing of the feet may symbolize the purging of mind and heart from all evil through the power of God. Enforces the Lesson And then when Jesus had gone about the company performing for each this lowly service, he enforces the lesson that he has sought to inculcate. Hfre were these disciples who but a short time before had been quarreling about questions of precedence and which of them should be the greatest when they came into the Kingdom.

Keith’s to Have Special Movie

Because Lester Carlyle, a big game hunter, en route to Africa aboard the "President” Roosevelt, happened to have a moving picture camera along, the thrilling and daring rescue of the British ship “Antinoe” has been filmed and preserved for posterity. Throughout tne four days of valiant rescue work, Carlyle took views of the proceedings, and his films have been Incorporated In a reel especially compiled through the combined efforts of the United States lines and the International News Reel, depicting the entire and historic voyage from the time the “Roosevelt” sailed from New York, showing the rescue of the “Antinoe,” the arrival in England, the triumphant return to New York and the accompanying celebration. It is unquestionably one of the most dramatic and important pictures ever made, and through the efforts of the Keith-Albee vaudeville circuit, the American public is to be given the chance to see the film, which will be shown at Keith houses throughout the country. It was initially presented as a special feature of the gala welcome accorded Captain Fried and the Roosevelt crew at the New York Hippodrome. It was the outstanding attraction of that memorable occasion, and the interest which It's presentation aroused determined Keith-Albee officials to present the picture to the entire country. It Is the only authentic movie record of the rescue extant, and the Keith-Albee circuit renders the country an Incalculable service In bringing the film in reach of the American people.

The Kingdom Itself was for them not so mucfT*a Kingdom of love and service as a Kingdom in which they were going to rule under their chosen Lord. The mother of Zebedee’s children had sought for her sons, James and John, the highest places in the Kingdom, and the ten had been “moved with indignation.” as they had beheld the ambition of this mother and her forceful sons. It is a theory of many that Judas himself was moved to the betrayal of Jesus because of disappointment In not realizing the material rewards of the Kingdom. The kindliest judgment of him has suggested that he was by his act forcing the hand of Jesus, hoping that Jesus would be compelled to commit himself and reveal his power. We do not know about that, but we do know the ambition and the selfishness that consumed these dls ciples even at the very time when they had left all to follow Jesus. They needed this lesson in humility and -service, and few are the modern Christians who do not need it.
