SHARING CHRIST'S GLORY. Our Lord was on his way to Jeru- salem, where He was to die for the sins of the world,—sins caused in large ,measure by• the world's self- seeking: In the midst of"this sad add solemn journey He was confronted with a case of self-seeking among 1 -lis own disciples, and in the innercircle who were dearest. to Him and from whom He had hoped the most.

Salome,their mother, was with then and according to Matt. 20:20, she was their spokesman, "Saying unto ltina Teacher." It was not as a teacher that Christ was thus approa- ched, but as the coming king, the head of the kingdom of heaven about which Jesus talked so often. "We would that thou shouldst do for us what- soever we shall ask of thee." The dis- ciples expected Jesus to hake some such grant as Iain Ahasuerus made to Esther (Esth.5:3); but otir Lord was no Eastern despot, no barbaric monarch;. he exercises reason, when he gives. He promises to grant what- ever wedesire; but :only when He abides in us, guiding our desires, so that the issue may be happy (John 15: 7). would ye that I should do for you?" "And he said .into then, what Christ has spoken not long before (Mark 10:29, 3o), of the great things which his followers should receive, "with persecutions." Salome and Ja- mes and John had overlooked those two words, "And they said unto hint, Grant unto us that wei may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, fn thylory". The Jews thus des- cribed those who were next to the king in honor and authority. Christ had recently (Matt. 1g: 28) declared that 'in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory," the twelve apostles also should sit on thrones, judging ririERREISINIIMINIEr E TEE G Pa TV ES ON NAY 10th AT 8 P.

".Gut Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask" ,The actual issue lay clear in his view. and He knew what a tragic disillusionment awaited thein. A. week later, and they would discover the tragic reality. They would see him crowned—yes but with a crown of , thorns; they would see Him lifted tip, but on a cross, not a throne; and on His right hand and on His left --nut Purple -clad courtiers, but two bleed- ing wretches, writhixlg in agony and iiioaning out their lives, Would it al- ways be well for us if we got our prayers? "Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink?" A cup with its liquid con- tents symbolized to the Jews _-one's fate, whether sad or joyous.. Christ's' cup was to be full ` of bitternes and black woe. "Or to be baptized with the baptism that'I ain baptizer with?" The descent into the cold waters of baptism signified to the Jews a death to sin as well as purifying from its stain, "And they said unto him, We are able." How often, in the dark years that followed, the years ,made ter- rible by awful persecution,, must the two apostles have shrunk in shame as they recalled this 'boast! In a measure, it was justified, for they made abundant proof of their hero- ism, but in themselves they were not able; if they were strong, it was only because the risen Saviour and the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, gave them the strength they •• required. "And Jesus said unto them, The cup that T drink ye shall drink: .and with the baptism that I am baptized with- al shall ye be baptized." His words were thus fulfilled. John, the be loved disciple, lived •to be the last. survivor of the Twelve, drinking• long and often of that bitter cup of sorrow; baptized, though not unto death, with that baptism of blood, James, after his eleven years of ministry, drinks, and is baptized, even to the martyr's death. So their 'Lord's prophecy is fulfilled. That is His gift on earth to those who ask to be next to Hixn in glory. A poor gift, as the world might take it; and yet, was it not glory? "But to sit on niy right hand or an my left hand is not thine to give; 'but it is for them for whom it hath been prepared." Prepared, not by the human Jesus, but by His Father (Matt. 'n023); 'the Father is greater than I. Though He was one with the Father, Christ was wrapped about the casings of the- flesh; as He did not, while a pian, know all that God knew, so that portions of the future were hidden from Hint, so also He could not do all that God could. NOT TO BE MINISTERED UNTO, BUT TO MINISTER. "And when the tett heard it." Peter was one of the Inner Circle, but in this matter, naturally, he went with the rest of the apostles. ,They may have heard the request made, or some,,,one present e told theme of it;they would not learn it from the four immediatelyntayhavinvolved! "They began to be moved with indig- nation concerning, James and John." Perhaps before this they had been jealous of the sons of Zebedee, whose social positionseems to have been superior ter pes. Now they to werethat enrageofthed other at theiraostlbold attempt to put the others into an in- ferior station. "And Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them," It was vital for the success of Christ's mission that ap- ostolic band, in whose hands He would leave His church, should dwell at peace with one another, and work as a‘ unit without selfish strife for precedence. "Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the Gen- tiles lord it over them." Worldling -s, not animated by the spirit of Christ,. have the name of ruling, but they are without the loving and disinterested character which constitutes a real ruler of men. "And their great ones exercise authority over them." There is a leg- itimate authority for which the church has room, #or some are fitted to dir- ect and others to follow; but it must all be in the spirit of brotherhood. "slut it is not axnotig you." In the Roman kingdom the first was .em- phatically first, to be served in all things. In Christ's kingdom the last was to be first, th'e servant of: all was regarded as the chief of :all. "But whosoeverwould become great among you," Christ does not depre- cate the desire for greatness, but im- plies that it is commendable, and points •the ,way to satisfy it; only, let His followersseek the true great- ness, ; and not the false. "Shall be your minister." That is; your servant, ministering to your needs, which is the primary and original, sense of 'minister' meaning the head of the church, . "And whosoever would be first a- mong you." Some one must be first in .any iation, Every organize. SFr tion that would function, success- fully must have a bead. "Shall be servant of all." All the company a- mong whom he would be first. "Fpr the Son of man came not to be ministered unto) but to minister." Christ as the Son of man (His fav- orite name for Himself) was repres- entive to all men. "And to give his life a ransom for triany." Christ's first disciples had no question about the meaning of these words. "Ills own self," said Peter, "bare our sins in his body upon the tree (i Pet. 2:24), "Herein is love," said John, "not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitation for our sins" (z John 4s1o). "He loved xne," said Paul, "and gave himself up for rue" (Gal. 2:zo). • ".God' forgives our sins because Christ died for'. them." NOTED AUCTIONEER DEAD.

FISK Mr. Sam Fisk Walkerton hardware dealer, was quite severely injured last Thursday morning, when one of the large plate glass windows in his place of business was blown out by the high wind. His left wrist and forearm were cut by the falling glass, also his right ear. A doctor had considerable difficulty controlling the flow of blood,'as the main artery in his arm was severed, and eighteen stitches were required to close the wound. About eleven o'clock Mr. Fisk went outside to see about some articles on display which he thought were being rnoved by the wind. Realizing what had happened he lowered his head, and considers himself very for- tunate that his injuries were not very serious. He remained in the hospital a couple of days.
