AT THE CHURCHES

JESUS WASHES THE ' DISCIPLES FEET , LESSON TEXT John 13:3-15. 34. 85. MEMORY SELECTION A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you. that ye ' ;also love one another. John 13:34. ; On the eve of his crucifixion our' Lord gave to his followers a striking example of how true humility shows itself in service to others. Almost in the shadow of the cross the disciples had fallen into an ar-; gument about which of them should be greatest Christ showed them .the way of true greatness by an act of menial service, giving them an 'example for their own lives, a pattern of love. : , I. Action (vv. 3-11). ! He who was about to wash his disciples feet was fully conscious who jhe was, whence he came, what his power was, and where he was going.; : Verse. 3 gives us a clear view of iour Load's knowledge of himself as divine, sent by the Father and to return to him. He was conscious that he was King of kings and Lord of lords all things had been put into his hands. What followed would seem to be a mistake a misfit in the pattern of the life of a being so great as the one described in verse 3 except for the fact that it was Jesus of whom it was said. . He' knew that real greatness proves itself in the ability to stoo,. if need be to minister to the humblest need. It was just like Jesus ft , take the place of the servant It it just like him to do the loving, thoughtful, compassionate thing for us today. Peter's impulsive refusal to be washed enabled the Lord to teach him, and us, a needed lesson. The one who had come clean and wellgroomed to the feast needed only to have the dust of the road cleansed from his sandaled feet. 'Just so the one who hag been cleansed from his sins by the blood of Christ returns daily for tht cleansing of the stains and soil of the journey through this wick3 world. We must remember that thU constant cleansing (I John 1:7) to necessary. It is not enough to ma? a decision for Christ and recelv. salvation; we need his" dally grac for daily living. j It. Example (vv. 1M5). i When he resumed his place at the (table, Jesus faced a humbled and lashamed group of men ready to' have driven home.to. their, hearts' the powerful meaning of the example which had been set before them. ' They called him Lord and Mas-: tcr, and he agreed that they were; right. Now he had set them a pattern of lowly service. They had already sensed the rebuke involved, so he stressed only the positive side, the need for them to do what he had done. It is one thing to understand what has been taught, it is another thing' to put it into practice. Jesus conditioned his blessing on the doing, rather than the hearing (see vv. 16, 17). . We are told in James 1:22 that the one who is a hearer of the Word and not a doer of it is selfdeceived. He is fooling himself about his supposed spiritual progress. God is not deceived by it, and usually his fellow men are not deceived by his profession of what he does ndt have. How sad then to go on deceiving himself and how foolish. III. Command (vv. 34, 35). It is really not a matter of choice for the believer whether he will live in the light of this great exampleit is a commandment of God. - Oh, yes, it is a commandment of love, but that makes it not les3 but more binding on us who believe in Christ By act and example he set before his disciples the great and new commandment of love, expressing itself in loving service. The measure of our love for our brethren is the love of Christ Jesus. That love, we all agree, was without limit, unbelievably great, inexpressibly tender, infinite in its purpose and power. ' ' ' - We cannot measure up to it. What then shall we do? Surely we must give to our very limit and beyond that limit by God's grace, of our love for one another. Nothing less will do, if we are to keep his commandment. Such love between Christian brethren has always been the most effective kind of testimony for Christ. As men see true and sacrificial love 1 shown between Christians, they are drawn to Christ and the church. The opposite is also true. Divisions and strife among believers quickly become known to the world, and are always a ground for scorn-, fill rejection of the truth which the church professes to believe and is asking the world to accept. We cannot effectively apply the gospel rem'-, edy (and it is the Only remedy I) to a strife-torn world while we are engaged in unlovely battles with one another. "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples." said Jesus, "if ye have love one for another." A material similar to coarse wool has been developed from ite fiber in India,

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES " "Man" is the subject of the Leg-son-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, March 9. The Golden Text is: "As many

! as are led by the Spirit of God,

they are the sons of God (Romans 8:14). ' Among the citations which com-' ' prise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying: rather than to. speak righteousness. God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the lining. Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness" . (Psalms 52:3, 5, 7). The Lesson-Sermon also includes thj following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Sin, sickness, and death must disappear to give place to the facts ; which belong to immortal man. . . , i When speaking of God's children, j not the children of men, Jesus said, i 'The kingdom of God is within you'; that is, Truth and Love reign in the real man, showing that man in

God s image is unfaiien and eternal " (p. 476).

Strange as it may seem to some, there is no stronger support for freedom than the Open Bible! Wherever its influence is strong, tyranny cannot thrive. Where it is read and loved and obeyed, selfishness in all of its forms finds it difficult even to exist. On its pages one finds God revealed in all of His beauty. And one finds Christ there! And the Churchl And all that is good and beautiful and true! The Bible plainly teaches that the individual is of supreme worth. Even the Sabbath was made for man, said Jesus, and not man for the Sabbath. This fundamental truth is denied by all ideologies that look upon man as a creature of the State. It is denied by those who would use man as a means to an end, rather than the end for whom all creation exists. To protect this doctrine of personal worth, which is fundamental in ourdemocratic way of life, there is no way quite so sure as to rely on the teachings ol this Open Book!,
