What is your standard of great-

Js.sus' idea of greatness is shown in His tribute to John the Baptist. He said: "Among them that are none greater than John: yet he that is but little in the Kingdom of God

born of women there is

is greater than he."

It is clear that "greatness" here is capacity for "service to the King- dom of God. John was great in this sense because he announced the advent of the King and identi- fied Him. He also "prepared the Prophets be- fore John had foreseen the King- dom from afar; John saw the Holy One who was to baptize with the Holy Then Jesus added that "the least in the King- dom of God is greater than John"; that is. he can do more for the Kingdom than John did. The pow- ers of the Kingdom came with the King. and are available to faith by

way of the Lord".

My own conviction is that when the full story of nineteenth cen- tury greatness ls told David Liv- ingstone and Abraham Lincoln will stand out in the majesty of

their devotion to the rights

men and in their fight for freedom. I am also confident that when the tale of the twentieth century is told the story of Albert Schweitz- er will shine as a star of the first in the firmament of

One of Albert Schweltzer's ex- periences illustrates the necessary connection betwen verses 24 and 25 of John l2. Referring to one of his visits to Europe. Schweitzer wrote: "How wonderful were the experiences vouchsafed to me dur- ing these years! When I first went to Africa I prepared to make three sacrifices. to abandon the organ. to renounce the academic teaching activities to which I had given my heart. and to lose my financial in- dependence. relying for the rest of

my life on the help of friends. "These three

"But now there nappenod to me what happened to Abraham when M Prepared to sacridoe his son. 1-. 111"-' him. was spared the sacri- fice. The piano, with pedal attach- merits. built for the Tropics, which the Paris Bach Society. had presented to me. and the triumph of my -own health over the trop- ical climate hsd allowed me to keep up my skill on the organ. During the many quiet hours which I was able to spend with Bach during my four and a half Jeers of loneliness in the jungle. I had penetrated deeper into the splrtt of his works. I returned to Europe, therefore. not as an artist who had become an amateur. but in full possession of my technique. and privileged to find that, as an artist, I was more esteemed than before.

"For the renunciation of my teaching activities in Strasbourg University I found compensation in opportunities for lecturing in very many others.

"And if I did for a time lose my financial independence. I was able now to win it again by means of organ and pen.

"That I was let off the threefold sacrifice I had already offered was for me the encouraging experience which in all the difficulties brought upon me, and upon so many others. by the fateful post- war period has buoyed me up, and made me ready for every effort and every renunciation."

Now. in the light of this record of God's compensations. read again John 12.24-25: "Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it boareth much fruit. He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal."

We might answer Jesus' call for self-sacrifice in this way: That in- dividual grain of wheat goes out of existence in order that its life may be productive; must I do the same?

Jesus' answer was to this effect. Do not press the parable too far. in human experience self-giving is the way to self-realization. Self- giving in this way is really not self-sacrifice but self-investment in the cause of God's Kingdom. and as the examples cited show, it is an investment which gives abund- ant returns.

The famous Robert E. Speer gave this reason for going into the work of Christian missions: "I had only one life to live. and I wanted to put it. where it would yield the largest returns."

Look at his life-story. and de- cide for yourself. The missionary we have been quoting adds this which I add as a message to youth seeking the meaning and purpose of life: "However much concerned I was at the problem of the mis- ery in the world. I never let my- self get lost in broodinga over it; I always , held firmly to the thought that each one of us can do a little to bring some portion of it to an end. Each one of us has to go his own way. but as one who means to help to bring about de- liverance.”

Then add this testimony from the same great heart: "The Ethic of Reverence for Life is the Ethic of Love widened unto universal- ity." -

According to Jesus' teaching, "13 is only through Love that we can attain to communion with God."

H muddy. or a psbbly shore. Their long, slender. toes are especially adapted for walking on beaches where they find mollusks. crustace- ans snd insects; their long, slen- der legs are very useful for wad- ing: their long slender bills can reach far down. '

It is fairly simple to learn which are shore birds, but quite difficult to differentiate among them, they have so many similar characteris- tics. This is particularly hard when we see them in the autumn as they are passing through southern Can- ads. because some of them have changed their suits, In summe the Spotted Sandpiper. which is un- doubtedly our most: prolific species. can more easily be recosnlzw than many others. About 75': inches long. including a very short tail. this bird is olive brown above. whitish below, with a white line over the eye and s white patch on the shoulder. It is the only Sand- piper with lots round spots on its breast, like a ood Thrush. But in the fall both adults and juve- niles luck this distintzuishinz mark.
