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.

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?"
