'there went with The route taken by Jesus from Ca pet•naum to Jerusalem was a cir cottons one: See Luke 13, 22 17. 11 ; 1.8. 31 ; 19. 11, 28. '.Chejourney seems to have occupied several months, ending with leis triumphal entry. Here, as in other` places, it is 'mentioned that great multitudes followed him. Some did ed from delle curiosity, others with more or less interest, 'ant with little under- standing of what discipleship. meant. .Believing that they should. know what was involved in casting their lots with :him,• he" turned 'to themand delivered the discourse contained in our lesson. 20. If any man hateth not - hi own -Jesus here refers to cases in which a choice must, be made be- tween love of kindred and loyalty to Christ (compare Matt:'6. 24; 10. 37), Jesus often thus -stated a prin- ciple in a startling way: 27- Whosoever cloth not bear his• own cross-Hdaring the cross is mentioned only twice , in . the New Testament; here, where it is used figurativelyr and in John 19. 17, where it is used liberally.: ,Jesus meant thatthe disciple must be willing to suffer martyrdom if ne- cessary. Putting to death by cruci- fixion was so common in Christ's time that his hearers had no doubt often 'seen men `carrying the' cross," By two illustrations Jesus points out that becoming a disciple is a serious matter not to- be entered into thoughtlessly or without con- sidering the probable outcome. 28. Desiring to build a tower -An estimate of the building material is equally essential in character -build- ing. It is first of all a question of. what a person can put into the ser- vice of Christ. 31. King -Local princes, though subject to the Roman empire, bore tile'title of kings. Whether he is able with ten thou- sand to meet him that cometh against trim with twenty thousand - This was an age of reckless war- fare. A king with a smaller force might poseibly win a battle, but the case manifestly calls for careful de- liberation. In the Christian life, power of endurance is as important as the building material, . 33. Renounceth net all that he hath -Through all the history of the Christian church there have been those who have been called upon to actually renounce all their posses- sions for the sake of the gospel.' All Christians aro asked to be ready to do so, that is, to subordinate earth- ly claims to triose of Christ when the twe are incompatible. - 34. Salt, --Discipleship, or the 'spi- rit of self-sacrifice and: service, re- ferred to in the preceding verses. Salt which has lost its savor is here the discipleship ;which has lost the spirit of -self-sacrificeand service for Christ's sake. 35,- Cast it out -Tasteless salt would be absolutely worthless, Disciples without the spirit of self- denial. and service cannot exert a helpful influence in human society.

Bttte when there were' only a few minutes' more to run before the adjournment for the 'week, Sir Ii:ich'ard arose, and the new bill came like a thun- derbolt from the clear brae: And thereby hangs a tale: .

Sir Richard McBride. treated it -so Much as a matter of course that they wavered between the beliefs 'that it had alwaye been intended and that it Was all an accident. It was not until llater. that some of the sophisticated fre- quenters of the House assigned a cause. How It Happened. It was learned that the bill had been definitely fixed for tthe'closing hours of the session, but, so that it would be ready in ample time, the text had been sent early to. the Ring's Printer. In gathering up the printed bills for distribution to the members of the House that day, some member of the Ding's Prin- ter's staff heel unwittingly picked up and included in the lot copies of the Canadian Northern hill. Thus when the Premier and the other members strolled into the Chamber to bake their• -places they found copies -of the Gaemelian Northern bill on their desks. ' That was bad enough: in all .conscience, but the Premier was to learn that an even more horrible Chang had happened. Copies had also been dutifully ]eft on the, desks in .the press gallery. That ended it all. Every bridge and everything that could do duty for a bridge, had been burned, • a.ncl there was no retreating. Almost before the members had taken their emits, the details of the mach - speculated -open bill had been rush- ed 'civet' the telegraph, wires, and the whole secret was on t. It was them that Sir Richard look ed the''faols in. the face and quite clearly realized that something heroic must be done: There was no .way out of the dilliculty but to ad- vance: Once again .he called upon hie Gargantuaal•urbanity, and this tine he used the precious saving greee to the very uttermost sheen, for. greaib was his need,.

There is probably no speculation which has been more popular in all periods of Christian history than that. as to what Jesus ,would do if He should. return to !the earth and live again` . among ,''mans In., the, Middle Ages this took the form of certain legends as 'to 'actual' re- appearances, of Which the narrative of St. Christopher at the ferry ie 'a familiar and supreme example: In our time we-- have not so much stories es serious discussions of jest what kind of. life Jesus would live, just where He would -place Himself amid the infinite complexities of modern existence a,nd just what causes He `would espouse for the betterment` of society in the. event of a second Doming. And if any- thing is more amazing than the surety with which people give an- swers to these questions it is the conflicts which are involved in these answers. The uncertainty of the record, the remoteness of time and place, the richness and variety of Jesus's teaching, the, many sided- ness of His character, the wideness of His sympathies and the indis- eriminateness of His pere+ona•-i asso- ciations -all these foots unite to make it possible for almost any as- sertion about the Nazarene to final substantiation. With the result that The Priest and the Prophet, the conservative incl the radical, the individualist and the socialist, the non-resident and the direct actionist, the champion of law a,nd order and'the sponsor of anarchistic violence, all find in Him a fere- runner, and declare that Ile would join with them should IIe retu-en 1 That such assertions as these are at the best doubtful is manifest to anybody who really nuclei -stands the nature of the problem involved. Je- sus was bhe.last person in the world to be tagged or typed or poured into a mould o 1. And what circum- eltance of His d•ay has been pre- served to our own, so unchanged in character as to enable us to draw any analogy or make any prophecy? •To argue that the cat -painter of the Palestine of 30 A.D. would in the world of 1914 A.D. halts oapitaliets,. or support trade unions, or espouse the economic doctrines of socialism, or urge the Church to avoid politi- cal and industrial entanglements, or countenance -almsgiving, or op- pose divorce, is as ridiculous as to argue that He would not do any one of these things. Amid all anoer'tainties, however, one thing at least is sure. We know the spirili in which Josue would live to -day, just as we know the spisib in which He lived yesterday, fee the spirit is a thing which is the same ,'estterday, to -day and foi,ever. What opinion of our industrial. or-- - der Jesus would hold, what mea- sure of political reform He would advocate, what church or panty or social group He would joint may be doubtful. But what epirit He would show • in this ' "Great Task of Life" is .nott at all doubtful. Love would be the watchword of His days -love of nature, love of ohil.dtren, love of nic'n, Love of humanity, love of God. He would -destroy prejudice, suspi- cion, bitterness, hatred, -and foster understanding, trust, sympathy, good -wild. He would comfort sor- row and consecrate joy, pity weak- ness and humble strength. Ho would help everything which unites and hinder nothing but what fLi- vides. He would hail men as His brethren and serve them without distinction of eolo,r, creed or elites. He would yearn for a better world, strive for a nobler race and gladly lay down His life for the kingdom. Whittier has summed it all up :- "Tile letter fails, and systems fall, And every symbol wanes; The spirit overbroodin-g all, Eternal Love, remains. -Rev. John Haynes Holmes. Yard Luck.
