This Is natural to an untrained mind and would seem to be apparent to all. Vet, oftentimes, parents forget this fact and expect the child mind to com prehend at once, and render Instant obedience. A la not at range that sometimes the little child instinctively prefers to do that with which It la already familiar, or acts slowly la do * Ing something new and unfamiliar. If we are patient and reasonable In our demands and‘extend to children the same courtesy which we ask for ourselves, we shall have much less cause for discipline. New Ms. of 8t John's Gospel. Among the recent Important discov eries of the archeologists, and to many the most Important of all, is an an cient papyrus manuscript with one of the earliest examples of the Gospel of St. John.

D., the date of the earliest copies of the Greek text that are known; it will have a deciding voice as to what was ac cepted as the authority In Egypt. It Is reported that It varies all through from the. known manuscripts In small details. Delights of Suspense.

Mark's Home Life (Acts 12:12). j He had the wholesome influence of u Christian home, for his mother was a godly woman. There is no heritage | to he compared to that of a godly i home. Nothing has uch a far-reach j ing influence upon the life of a young man as the memory of a praying motli I or. Even when it was so perilous to I he known as a follower of Jesus, she ! was not afraid to have a prayer rneet ! ing In her home. II. Mark With Jesus in Gethsemane j (Murk 14:51, 52). | At the eight of the Roman guard, I the disciples “all forsook Him and lied." This timid lad still followed the Lord till laid hold on by the young ' men. He then tied, leaving behind him his linen garment. This Geth semane experience doubtless had a decided effect upon his life. III. Mark a Servant of Paul and Barnabas (Acts 12:25-13:5). Murk was with the company when I’eter told of his wonderful release from prison. This, doubtless, made u great Impression upon him and was the beginning of his desire to accom pany the missionaries of the cross, i He was not a missionary on the same j footing as Paul and Barnabas, but an attendant upon them to look after i their needs. IV. Mark Deserting Paul and Barna bas (Acts 13:13) j We are not told the cause of this I desertion. Three conjectures, one or all of which hud a bearing upon his action, are offered. J 1. Homesickness. Ills home was of | easy circumstances if not wealthy. As they were carrying the gospel into the | rough, mountainous country, occupied ! by rough, half-civilized people, the | mettle of this young servant was tried. . We ought not to condemn him too j readily, for we know how trying it Is i to leave home when struggling against the rough world. While sympathizing with him. we must remember that duty Is stronger than the tender ties of life. The time comes when the sol dier must spurn the ties which bind him to father, mother, wife and chil dren, in response to the call of duty. The missionary must turn his back upon home, native land, and friends In Ills devotion to his Lord. 2. Disbelief In Foreign Missions. There was a common prejudice among the Jews against taking the gospel to the Gentiles. When he saw that these missionaries were going to the “re gions beyond," his prejudice may have cuused him to turn buck. 3. Cowardice. The dangers before them were not imaginary but real. The missionary today faces awful dan gers : climate, wild beasts, deadly ser pents and insects, and savage and can nibalistic men. However, fear Is no excuse for cowardice because we ure linked to the Almighty by faith; there is nothing in heaven or on earth that can harm us. Courage is required of those who would do the Lord’s work. V. Mark With Peter In Babylon (I Pet. 5:13). Some years after Mark’s desertion, when Paul and Barnabas were arrang ing for a second evangelistic tour, they had a sharp dispute over the question of taking Mark with them. Paul would not consent to Mark’s ac companying them, so “they departed asunder one from the other.’’ Mark went with his uncle. By this time he must have been cured of his cowardice for we see him associated with Peter In Babylon. VI. Mark Honored by Paul (II Tim. 4:11). Paul Is now an old man in prison. Mark Is a middle-aged man associated with Timothy at Ephesus. Mark had proved himself, for Paul gives the pleasing testimony that “he is profit able unto me for the ministry.” Mark Is an example of one who made good in spite of his early backsliding. Faith. A man Is often tempted to sink In faith, because he has not perceived that degree of warmth and confidence of feeling within him, the Inward answer of perceptible grace given to his prayers, which without adequate ground of promise he has expected. In such a case, he Is certainly (how ever little he Is himself aware of it) making his faithfulness of continued Cheerful belief and obedience depend upon ids receiving a sign of accept ance which God has never covenanted to ghe, and which may be, an J no doubt Is, withheld. What if It be withheld in trial of this very courage of spiritual faith in the unseen? What | if God be hiding for a little while the i light of His countenance, in order to ! test the strength and endurance of I that heroic faith which He will re- ! ward hereafter with the real vfslon of i bliss? ... If faith In the unseen can in God’s grace be strong ami brave In this day of trials then, no doubt, greater strength and greater peace shall be the blessed reward of so gracious victory.—Bishop Moberly. God's Blessing on the Church. And it shall come to pass In that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the Lord —Joel 3:18.
