The twelve formed an inner ter*, but there were many others. Their asso- ciation with Jesus Christ and their following hien brought them within the saving influence of His life and P came afterward His most attached and devoted followers. "One of the two" was Andrew, the brother of Peter. Who was the other'? There is no doubt that John, the writer of this Gospel, was one of the earliest disciples, and it is thought by many that he was the other dis- ciple, and that he found and brought his brother James, but that through modesty he refrains from mention- ing his own name. He says of An- drew, "He frndeth first," as though there were a second, and it is at least probable that he himself was the sec- ond, in finding his brother and bring- ing him to Jesus. "Simon." Jesus gave him the name "Cephas," whieh.is the Aramaic equi- ness and capacity for leadership of this man, one of the greatest men of history, and one of the chief apostles of the Christian faith. Andrew, him- self comparatively unknown, did the greatest work of hie Life when 'he brought his brother 10 Jesus. from the way of service upon which Ile had entered, because He persever- ed in spite of the opposition and hatred of evil men everywhere who were in places of power, and because IIo would do the will of God at what- ever coat.

Bob came. • He looked different in every way; more stalwart and selfereliant, an outer change that might have warn ed Mary of an inner change had she been discerning enough to see it. But she was not. She had not been thinking, deeply enough or far ahead enough for that. She had expected Bob would give all his time and attention to her that first day; he wanted to share the first joy of his home coming with every one he knew. Then Mary was' hurt because he did not notice the new dress she was wearing; sire could not understand that to a man who had faced death not once but many times, such a de- tail might at first fade into the whole general background of his home coming. He was not half as interested as she thought he would be in the Mills - Bangs feud which had been the fay. orite. topic of the countryside when he went away, nor the gossip about the new school teacher nor the rumor that the village sawmill was about to change bands. The climax came when Mary men- tioned, the name of Bud Hill. Bud, suspected of being a trifle foolish at times and the butt of everyone's ridicule, had gone to training camp with Bob. Bob had written home of remarkable change in him and of a warms friendship that had sprung up between them but Mary had not opened her mind to these miracles of wartime. When Bob caught the uncharitable half sneer in her voice, he became almost angry. And he certainly had reason, for Captain Hill had worm the Distinguiehed Ser- vice Medal for hes service in France. There were other incidents, other little jangling notes that spoiled the harmony of that bore coming and all because -- Mary had not toned her life to meet the stronger, deeper note that now pervaded Bob's. While he had been filling his mind with new impressions and larger ideas and facing the great founda- tion experiences of life, she had let herself drift along in idleness and • dieeontent, taking to herself none of the lessons of the great war. Letting her eorrifices and renunciation em- bitter and not sweeten and deepen her nature. While he was at war she had not tried to put herself in Bob's place, to see life from his new angle in order that she might under- stand him better and fully sympa- thize with hive when he came back to her. Sire could not realize that his whole mental horizon had broadened and along with it his love and sympa- thies; that the first joy of his home- coming had to include his mother; that he had formed new standards by which to judge people and that petty and unpleasant things w'ke gossip and •scandal did not loom as big in his in•tere.ts as they had done before.
