THE TEMPTATION.
And •Straights ay. The second of
Mark's uses of his favorite swift ad-
verb. The Spirit driveth him forth
into the wilderness. Why did the
third person of the Godhead, corn-
ing upon Jesus at his baptism, not
lead him forth at once and trium-
phantly'to the work which he had
conte to earth to perform, Because
our Lord was entering upon a new
experience altogether different from
that ,of Nazareth, and needed special
preparation for it.
And he was in the wilderness 40
clays. Jesus fasted simply because
of his intense preoccupation with the.
problems which he was facing. He
had no time to procure food, no de-
sire to eat. Tempted of Satan. Ev-
ery thoughtful soul must recognize
afarce within him and in the world
-warring against good, and must take
some comfort in the fact that not
all the evil in his own life and around
him is due to his own and other hu-
man agencies.
And he was with the wild beasts.
The Palestian desert was the haunt
of wild beasts; our Lord had no oth-
er companions during his temptation.
And the angels ministered unto him.
They gave food to his wasted frame,
as in the case of Elijah (I. Kings
1;9:5), and they gave comfort and
cheer to his worn spirit. He had
won his victory, but the temptations
,continued from time to time. The
devil left him, but only "for a sea-
son" (Luke 4:13).
THE MMIINISTRY BEGUN.
Now after John was delivered up.
I Marks rapid narrative omit'$ John's
� testimony to Jesus as the Messiah.
Preaching the gospel of God.
"Gospel". means, a$ we learned last
week; the good news, the "evangel,"
that God had sent: the long-prophes-
ied'Messiah in the person of his own
Son, who would deliver the people
from their sins and establish the
reign of righteousness: and peace. ,
And saying, The time is fulfilled.
The prophets had set no, definite and
clearly understood time for the corn-
ing of the Messiah and the last of
them( except John) was four and a
half centuries in the past. And the
Kingdom of God is at hand; repent.
ye, and believe in the gospel. This:
had been the Baptises message, and
by taking it up our Lord carried on
the work of the lonely prisoner in
Machaerus, and linked the Old Tes-
I tament with the New Testament era,
THE FIRST DISCItPLES CALLED
And passing along by the sea of
Galilee. The "sea"', is really a
lake, the largestbody of wat-
er in Palestine. He saw Simon. This
was the man who our Lord called
Peter, "a Rock," And Andrew the
brother of Simon. Andrew was a
quiet, modest man, but "he had one
specialty." He was an expert in the
gentle art of bringing other people
toer-
esus. He was the original
J per-
sonal worker. Casting a net in the
sea. Not a seine, which required
many to handle it, being sometimes
half a mile long, but a bag -net, shap-
ed like the top of a tent, flung into
the sea by a single fisher. For they
were fishers. Christ showed his deep
insight into human possibilities tiyhen.
he chose his disciples, those ;who
were to be nearest to him and to
carry on his work, not from the
great and; powerful, not from the
rabbis, and scribes who made up the
Sanhedrin, but from simple-minded
workingmen.
And ' Jesus said unto them. This
was the second call of these men, the
first being a summons to faith in
Christ given more than a year be-
fore, at the time of Christ's baptism,
by John (John I: 39-42). Come ye
after me. This was a call to the
following of Jesus in his work of
preaching and teaching; they were to.
go wherever Jesus might go. And
I will make you become fishers of
men.
And straightway. There was no
hesitation, no procastination. They
left the nets, and followed him, They
need not worry about provision, for
the body, attaching themselves to
such a Provider as Christ was!
And going on a little further. The
twosets of : brothers were close to-
gether always. He saw James the
son of Zebedee. Janes and John
were both of fiery temper. It was
this glowing spirit which made Jam-
es the first martyr among the ap-
ostles (Acts 12. 2), being beheaded
by Herod Agrippa I, about 14 years
after Christ's crucifixion.
And John his brother, who also
was in the boat mending the nets.
This John outlived all the other ap-
ostles, dying at the age of about one
hundred.
And. straightway. The fourth use 'patients."

of Mark's adverb thus far in the
chapter, and there are seven more to
come! He called them, giving them
the same summons to follow him and
become fishers of men that he had
already given to their friends, And-
rew and Peter, And they left their
father Zebedee in the boat with the
hired servants, and went after him.
Zebedee gave his sons ,freely to the
Lord, evidently approving their ex-
alted purpose.
An Irish Judge on circuit who had
to sentence a magi for bigamy in the
good old -days said: "The only pun-
ishment the law allows' me to inflict.
is that you be transported to parts
beyond the seas for the term of sev-
en years. But if 'I had my will you.
should not escape with so mild a
punishment, for I would sentence°
you for the term of your natural life
to live in the same house with both
your wives!"
At a college a professor met two
students outside the grounds during
one of the hours for study. He walk-
ed up to one of the students, and,
taking ottt his notebook to jot down
the reply, asked:
"Pray sir, what .might your name
be?"
"Julius Caesar," said the student.
"What, sir? Do you mean to say
your name is Julius Caesar?"
"Sir, you did not ask me what it
is, but what it might be."
The man and the girl were saying
good -night on the dorstep when a,
window above them was suddenly
thrown open, and a weary voice said:
"My dear sir, I have no objection
to your coming here and sitting up,
half the night with my -daughter, nor
even to your standing on the door-
step for two hours saying good -night
—but out of consideration for the
rest of the household, who wish to
go to sleep, will you kindly take
your elbow off the electric bell?"
Mrs. Brown: "I admire Dr. 'Yours
immensely. He is so persevering s'
the face of difficulties that he alwa
reminds me of Patience sitting on
