THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY Jesus' Choice of Apostles ran morrow. Rev, Walter E. Relmana will be the speaker. LUTHERANS HONOR CHILDREN'S BUREAU 519.000 ESTATE AIDS CATHOLIC CHARITIES i Made by Sea of Galilee By REV. JOHN GRANT NEWMAN, D.

D. 23-30 giv us a "debate" that Jesus had with His This controversy, this throng, and His busy hours with no time to eat, distressed His closest friends; His mother and his half-brothers thought He was insane! (See 21.) They came to take Him home! Somebody told Jesus that His "mother and brethren sought for Him." HIS REPLY "Who is my mother and my brethren?" He, looking at that eager throng, asked this question. The answer to it taught them of a friendship that "eclipses all others." Jesus loved His mother and His brethren. But the telling point is. that any one who "does the win of God," is His mother, sister and brother.

He loves all who love Ood. REFLECTIONS 1. "We are here a apprentices to learn the art of service." 2. "Expect great things from God; then sttempt great things for God." A PRAYER Leader VM W. Jililiill ML The theme of this lesson Is, Choosing Companions in Service.

The Scripture text is Mark and 31-35. The Golden text Is: "For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same la my brother." (Mark 3:35.) The general theme of our lessons throughout this Quarter is "Service." CHOICE OF APOSTLES This lesson Is about the choice of companions In service that Jesus made. He chose twelve apostles, or disciples, to be His helpers. "Apostles" Is the more meaningful name. That word means those "sent out." The word "disciples" means "learners." The apostles had all been "learners;" but when they were "sent out" to preach, they became "apostles." Every "apostle" had been a "disciple;" but by no means were all disciples apostles.

You will see this distinction If you read John 6:66. Those who "went back and walked no more with him" were "disciples," but not "apostles," (See also Matt. 23:1.) The word "disciples" may mean many; or it may mean the "twelve" only. When the word "twelve" is used we know exactly who are meant; or when the word "apostles" is used, we likewise know. The "twelve" are mentioned by name several times In the New Testament: Look at Matt.

at Luke and Acts 1:13, (In this last passage Judas Iscarlot does not appear, of course.) Wherever the full list does appear. Peter is always mentioned first and Judas Iscarlot last. THIS LESSON In the presentation of this study let us come at it thus: I. The increasing popularity of Jesus. (Mark II.

The appointment of "the twelve." (Mark III. The "twelve" named, (Mark IV. The one friendship that eclipses all other friendships. I. INCREASING POPULARITY In these opening verses one detects the wide-spreading fame of Jesus.

He lived in Capernaum; by the sea of Galilee. He loved that Lake, and hence often resorted to its shores. On this particular occasion the people had thronged from every where to see and hear this Great New Teacher. Not only from Galilee and Jerusalem had they come; but also from Idumea, in the far South; also from east of the Jordan; and from Tyre and Sidon, far to the North. His fame had spread everywhere.

And His popularity with the common people equaled His fame. They had never seen or heard such a kind, generous, helpful friend. That is what He is yet. The greatest friend men have ever known, or shall know. He is that both to the rich and the poor; to the learned or to the Ignorant.

He is our Immanuell "God with us." The reason for this popularity was that Jesus had "healed many." Hsd even cast out evil spirits, who, by the way, acknowledged Him as "the Son of God." Devils all know Him! II. "TWELVE" CHOSEN Five of these "twelve" had been "called" before this. These were Religious Notices ANGLO-SAXON FEDERATION ANGLO-SAXON FEDERATION 1421 Arch St. Room 214-M.

The announcement, which terms lynching "an unspeakable evil," was made by Dr.

Charles J. Turck, general director of the board's Department of Social Education and Action, who was born In the South and has lived there practically all his life. "I feel that the filibuster is largely the effort of politicians who realize that their supporters, such as sheriffs and other police officers, would be penalized if this law were in effect when a lynching took place," Dr. Turck said. "I do not believe any large number of Southern people are afraid of Fed eral action," he continued.

"The board's support of the anti-lynchlng bill is in accordance with an action regarding the right of the Negro to trial Dy jury adopted by the 1937 General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America." Dr. Turck said he had sent letters to this effect to President Roosevelt, Vice President Garner, and Senators Barkley, McNary, Guffey and Davis.

Dr. Poling's Subjects Dr.

Daniel A. Poling, pastor of the Baptist Temple, Broad and Berks will preach tomorrow morning on "Fight the Inevitable" and In the evening his, subject will be "Why Men Fail." Lafayette Choir Here The Lafayette College Choir, of 45 male voices, will present the choral service at St. Paul's Reformed Episcopal Church, Btoad tnd Venango Peter. Andrew, James, John and Matthew. This "earlier call" was to become "dlsolples." Now they, and seven others, were called to become "apostles." 4 The mounfcln where this apostolic call was given, was probably somewhere Just west of Capernaum and this lake.

"That they might be with him, and that he send them forth to preach, and to have authority to cast out demons," was the reason. NOW WHAT? To this same Jesus; to tills "call" and "sending" of these "twelve," (poor and unlearned as they were), the Christian church in the present world owes Its glorious origin. We do not have to be rich, or learned, to be effective, To live with Jesus, and for Him, is to possess His Blessed Spirit. And that Spirit empowers us. The greatest man In this world right now is he who lives closest to Christ.

III. THE TWELVE NAMED Here Is one of the places where these apostles are enrolled. In all lists where they are named in full, Peter cornea first, and Judas the traitor, last. Dr. Joseph Parker of London once said that he had never met a man who could name the "twelve apostles" In their order! Certain it Is that very few can do it.

You might learn this list. IV. THE ECLIPSING FRIENDSHIP This section of this lesson (Mark 3: 31-35) follows, by some little time, the former part. Jesus was now bick in Capernaum.
