Sunday School Lesson LESSON ill A NEW STANDARD GREATNESS Matthew 20 Printed Text: Matt. 20 : 17.28 Golden Text: "Weele we were yet sinners, Chirst died for Rom. 5:8. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time — All the events recorded in this lesson occurred in March, A.D. 30, the year of our Lord's crucifixion. Place — The events of the entire narrative took place in Peraea, with the exception of the healing of the blind men recorded at the end of the chapter, which took place near Jericho. The parable of the laborers in the vineyard, found first in our les- son, was intended primarily to ap- ply to the rewards to be given those who serve Christ in his king- dom. It taught the disciples that however, long continued their work, abundant their labors, yet without charity to their brethren, humility before God, they are noth- ing. The spirit in which work is performed is the important thing in the eyes of God. His Approaching Death Matt, 20:17. And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples apart, and on the way he said unto thein, 18. Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, 19. and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to cruelty: and the third day he sbail be raised up.Note the min- ute details which the Lord here foretells regarding his death. Je- sus -sus knew he came to dio for our sins, and he never attempted to es- cape the awful sufferings and the shameful death which this holy, glorious purpose involved. But whenever our Lord speaks of his death, he also speaks of his resur- rection. He did not contemplate the horror of the one without drawing encouragement from his confid- ence in the other. , Two Came Asking Favors 20, Theu came to him the mother of the eons of Zebedee with her sons, worshipping him, and asking a certain thing of him. (The moth- er of thew: two disciples is else• where identified as Salome). 21. And he said unto her, What would - est thou? She saith unto him, Command that these my two sons may sit,one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy kingdom. 22, But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask Are ye able to drink the cup that 1 am about to drink?? They say unto him, we are able. John's was a refuted and reserved nature, but pride was his besetting sin. In his• work for Christ be believes he pos- sesses a secret which the other dis- elples do not share; he criticizes their conduct from the height of his own ideal. The sons here, reply- ing to Jesus' question, showed a loyalty and devotion to him, but also a spirit of self-seeking and of pride, which' if allowed' to go on would be the repudiation of the very principles which Christ by hi* life and rleath would teach, 23. Ile saith unfo them, 1fy cup indeed ye aliall drink, but to sit an any right hand, and on my lett. hand, is net mine to give; but it. Is ler them for whom it hath been prepa4'ed of my Father. 24. And whin the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation concerning the two irrethren, Christ meant: Not upon the basis of favor will men get into office in my kingdom; they will be put into office accord- ing to fitness, and that within the will of God. When God prepares an office for a man, he prepares the man for the office; and there le perfect fitness, Service to Others 25, But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exer- cise authority over them. 26. Not so shall It be among you: but who- soever would become great among you shall be your minister; 27. and whosoever would be first among you obeli be your servant. The Lord does not reputdiet'e the desire of a man to be great, but only his desire to be great if it le a selfish one, by which he would obtain it position of lordship nd power over other men. True greatness, says the Lord, — and here is one of the moat revolutionary teaehings of the New Testament — is to be found is. serving others, not com- manding onmanding others; in spending upon others, not acquiring wealth by the service of others. 28: Even: as the' Son ai man came not to be minis- tered unto, but to minister, and to give his Hee a ransom for many. Christ came to earth to serve oth- ers; his ministrations took in all men. He is to be our pattern in this life, no matter how contrary to worldly ideals his teachings may be. In these days let us stand out firmly for the. things which Christ' exalted and manifested. Teething Not long ago Assistant Fire. Chief Frank Taylor of London, Ont., was having trouble with his teeth. So he had them yanked out and got in false ones. Last week Chief Taylor appear- ed on duty minus his "store teeth." Ile told his fellow firemen he couldn't wear them. "A third set of teeth :is grow- ing in," he explained.

FARM... COLUMN RAISE MORE LIVESTOCPP Increased livestock production in wartime was recommended by Hon, P. M. Dewan, Ontario min- ' ister of agriculture, in an address to '750 students taking shoat cours- es of study at the Ontario Agri- cultural College. "I venture the statement that whether' =or not a farmer succeeds over the next decade will depend almost exclusively on the farm set - ,or program which, he adopts and develops during the next two years," Mr., Dewan said. "It is safe to advise the greatei . production of livestock and live- stock products. I refer especially to hogs, sheep and cattle" "PURE-BRED" IN AGRICULTURE The pure-bred in ,agriculture re- presents the efficient animal ma- chine. It is the result of gener- ations of the most careful selec- tion and breeding. The pure-bred is the cumulative result of im- provemnent. In the pure-bred we find the present source of highly developed qualities in domes- tic animals. From no other source may we expect so great improve meat in so short a time. The more widely the blood of pure-bred ani- mals can be distributed and ming- led with the common blood of the Country, the more profitable will be all live stock operations. British Army's Mystery P.O. Somewhere in England is a sec- ret post office which serves the British Army and Air Force at home aild abroad. This mysterious "Army Post Office" is a convert- ed garage. To it letters to the men of the British Expeditionary Force and various home units are addressed. Sentinels keep guard outside and plainclothes amen watch civilians who enter the sorting office. From labels on a mailbag a spy might learn the whereabouts of nearly every unit of the Forces. Thous- ands of lettere, packages and par- cels- are sorted and sent away ev- ery day, according to the postal chiefs in London. See Cana chins Getting Taller Upper Canada College las to Buy Longer Beds for Stud- ents Recording of weight and measur- ing nmachines in Toronto schools. where 90,000 children were examin- ed, show that Canadian youths are growing taller and heavier, says the Kitchener Record. Toronto is so large a city and has such a vete resentative population that the re- sult of the survey may be taken as typical of the whole country. Upper Canada College provides practical proof of this upward trend, It has replaced the usual six - root.. bed by a seven -footer because the boys feet were hanging over the. ends. In a college dormitory proti'udiug feet can give rise to n "ticklish" situation.
