Very gently father said to him: “If you have been misinformed, I presume that you would be perfectly will ing to know what the truth is.” He said he would. Then father, very gently and quietly, made a statement of the other side, and when he was through the man got up and said: “Forgive me, doctor. Forgive me.” Father had beaten him by his quiet, gentle way. Do Not Forget That—Samuel W. Beazley & Son, Chicago, 111., are leaders as hymn-book publishers.

Mariolatry Anticipated A REMARKABLE incident is re corded in the twelfth chapter of Matthew’s Gospel, wherein we see Mary, the mother of Jesus, seeking to interrupt Him in the midst of His earnest preach ing. “While he yet talked to the people, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. Then one said unt5 him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee” (Matt. 12:46-47). What had moved upon Mary that she should thus join in such a transaction ? Did she begin to believe what some of the friends of the family maintained, that He was “beside Himself” ? (See Mark 3:21, 23.) But Jesus was not to be distracted. The “Virgin Mary” had no authority over Him. Note His answer: “Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? , . . Whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother and sister and mother” (vs. 48, 50). He is not rejecting the ties of human nature, but He is putting them in their proper relationship—-the spiritual relation ship has precedence. Earthly relationships are nothing in comparison with this. Mary’s relationship to Him was but hu man. It is not Mary’s fault that a certain church has elevated Jesús’ earthly rela tionship above the spiritual. The Virgin is put up for worship because of her re lationship as the human mother of Jesus. By this incident Mariolatry was an ticipated. It shows that Mary derived no special advantage over others from the circumstance of being the earthly parent of Jesus. When once “a certain woman lifted up her voice and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee . . .” He said, “Rather, blessed are they that hear the Word of God and keep it.” The one command of Mary is recorded in John 2 :5: “Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it.” When Wrath Opposes Wrath When wrath opposes wrath wise ends are rarely served. A soft answer does turn away wrath. Henry Ward Beecher used to tell this story about his father, Dr. Lyman Beecher: I remember that once a man came to our house red with wrath. He was boil ing over with rage. He had, or supposed he had, a grievance to complain of. My father listened to him with great attention and perfect quietness until he had got it all out, and then he said to him in a soft and low tone, “Well, I suppose that you only
