The twelve then asked: "Why could we not Cast out that spirit, pray?" He said: "Because your unbelief Stood boldly in the way. "For, verily, if ye have faith As a small, mustard grain, Then shall unto this mountain say, 'Remove to yonder plain.' "It shall remove. Nothing shall be Impossible to you; Yet these foul spirits go not, save By prayer and fasting, too." Jesus Teaches Humility. ONE day while Jesus sat at rest He asked the twelve to say What was it they disputed, as They walked along the way. But they replied not, for they had Disputed which should gain The greatest rank and power, when Their Lord should come to reign. Then Jesus said: "If any man Desire the highest place, He shall be last, and servant, too, Within the realm of grace." He set a child in midst of them, Then took him in His arm, And said: "Whoso receiveth such, And shieldeth him from harm, "Receiveth me, if, with true love, He does it in my name, And not only receiveth me, But Him from whom I came." The Young Lawyer. AND now behold a lawyer rose With tempting question vain, And said: "Master, what must I do Eternal life to gain?" Jesus addressed His questioner With manner frank and kind, And by a parable He taught His keen and doubting mind; Told of the good Samaritan Who succored a poor Jew; Then, in conclusion, counseled him: "Go thou and like wise do." At Bethany. AND as they went, He and the twelve, Along the public road, They entered into Bethany, Where Martha, kind, abode; Who hospitably welcomed Him Into her house to rest, Then hastened to provide for Him Refreshments of the best. Meanwhile her sister Mary, Who long had wished to meet The gracious Lord and hear His voice Sat meekly at His feet. But Martha, cumbered and perplexed With anxious, household care, And wishing for her welcome Guest A banquet to prepare, Entered the room where Jesus sat, And said: "Lord, dost Thou know My sister lets me serve alone? Bid her some help bestow." And Jesus answered in a tone Of grace yet kind concern, "O, Martha, Martha, good and true, Thou something hast to learn. "Thou careful art, and troubled much All good things to enjoy, And that thy friends may feast full well Thy time and means employ; "And yet there's but one needful thing, Worthy thine utmost thought, And that good part is Mary's choice, Which from her take thou not." The Lord's Prayer. AGAIN, did Jesus journey on, When, in a certain place, He lifted up His voice in prayer With unction, power and grace. When He had ceased one of the twelve Said: "Lord, teach us to pray, As John taught those who followed him, "We wish to do as they."
