very beautiful as well as perfectly true statement, "Whosoever will be
chief among you, let him be your servant; even as the Son of man came
not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a
ransom for many."

There was another time, when Jesus sat at supper with his disciples,
wishing to show them, by example, the utter worthlessness of station,
for station's sake, rose from the table, took a towel and basin, and
began to wash the disciples' feet. Peter objected, but when he
understood, he said, "Not my feet only, but also my hands and my head."
At the last Jesus said, "Verily I say unto you, the servant is not
greater than his Lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent
him."

Girls and boys, if you desire a high place in life, begin low. If you
want to occupy a leading place you must be willing to serve in the
least. It always has been so, it will never change, this great law of
life, that he who would be first must be willing to be last. It is the
eternal law of service.

MEMORY VERSE, _Mark_ 10: 31

"... But many that are first shall be last; and the last first."

MEMORY HYMN [402]

_"Hark, the voice of Jesus calling."_
