I was so poor; not a penny had I Clothing or food for the journey to buy; One came and whispered, “Leave that to My care; Wealth o f a kingdom with thee will I share.” Jesus Himself. I was so lonely for lack of a friend; One came and offered me love without end, Love that is mighty to strengthen and save, Love that can triumph o’er death and the graye—- Jesus Himself. What though the valleys be many and deep; What if the pathway be stony and steep; Mountain, or moorland, or valley of death: “ I will be with thee,” my Comforter saith— . Jesus Himself. —Edith E. Trusted. “From first to last, Jesus is the same; always the same—majestic and simple, in finitely severe and infinitely gentle.”—Na poleon Bonaparte. “ God be thanked fqr the good and per fect gift, the gift unspeakable: His life, His love, His very self in Jesus Christ.”— Maltbie Babcock. “Unlike all other founders of a religious faith, Christ had no selfishness, no desire of dominance.”—William Howitt. “Those who have minutely studied the character o f the Saviour will find it diffi cult to determine whether there is most to admiré or to imitate in it—there is so much o f both. “All the glory and beauty of Christ are manifested within", and there He delights to dwell; His visits there are frequent, His condescension amazing, His conversa tion sweet, His comforts, refreshing; and the peace that He brings passeth all un derstanding.”—Thomas a Kempis; “No other fame can be compared with that o f Jesus. He has a place in the hu man heart that no one who ever lived has in any measure rivaled. No name is pro nounced with a tone o f such love and veneration. All other laurels wither be fore His. His are ever kept fresh with tears o f gratitude.”—W . E. Channing. “I find the life o f Christ made up o f two parts; a part I can sympathize with as a man, and a part on which I gaze; a beam sent down from heaver) which I can see and love, and another beam shot into the infinite, that I cannot comprehend.”—Barr. —o— M a r c h 4 XVhat is it in Jesus that Attracts Young People? (Consecration Meeting) John 12:20-32 “On Thee alone my hope relies, Beneath Thy cross I fall; My Lord! my L ife! my Sacrifice!" My Saviour ! and my A ll! —Anne Steele. T h o u g h t s o n t h e T opic What was it in Jesus, as He rode into Jerusalem on the foal of an ass, that at tracted “certain Greeks” unto Him, as given in the portion of Scripture for our study today? Doubtless they had heard of His many miracles and especially >of the one He had just performed in the
raising o f Lazarus from the dead. They had heard the Pharisees murmuring among themselves that “ the world is gone after Him.” (v. 19). They probably had heard something about His fearless teach ing and o f the greatness o f His claim to be the Son o f God. All of this with the beauty of His character strongly appealed to the cultured Greeks who were inter ested in the highest type of manhood. Their coming must have brought gladness to our Saviour who realized that this was the beginning o f the wider fruits of His mission, namely, the spreading o f the Gos pel to the Gentiles. Seeing these Greeks standing among His disciples, He sees be yond the realm o f Judaism to those of every kindred and every tribe for whom He came to “give His life a ransom," and His first words to them were, “ The hour is come, that the Son o f man should be glorified .” ;;;' Referring to His sacrificial death on Calvary for the whole world, He pictures to them in parable form His coming de cease. What a message for these cultured, refined Greeks to hear 1 They who banked everything on this life were shown a new life entirely, which came by death. “E x cept a corn of wheat fall into the ground I Offer \bu Make $15 a day selling this won derful new household article that has taken the country by storm.

and die, it. abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.” . What is it in Jesus that attracts the young people today? Is it not all that the Greeks found in Him plus the,new life of service made possible by His death upon the cross? By our acceptance of Him as Saviour we, too, die and are made new creatures in Him to “ live in newness o f life” (Rom. 6:4, 9, 11; Gal. 2:20; Rom. 12:1, 2). With this new life comes the true friendship of One who has traveled life’s journey just as we are traveling it: O n e. who knows the temptations and problems o f youth better than any one else. He is the only One to whom we can go in seasons o f distress and grief- and_ be assured of relief. He is the “Friend who sticketh closer than a broth er” (Prov, 18:27; Heb. 2:11). . •-o-— C h o ice N uggets Moody’s Idea o f the World “ I look on this world as a wrecked ves sel.
