. Ancient apostles. LESSON 19WITH THE REDEEMER Modesty is a shining light; it prepares the mind to receiveknowledge, and the heart for truth. Humility is the solid foundation of all the virtues. In the first chapter of the Gospel according to St.John, we read that two disciples of John the Baptistheard their master bear witness to the divinity ofJesus. Said the Baptist, referring to Jesus walkingalone in the distance, Behold the Lamb of God, thattaketh away the sin of the world. One of the twodisciples who heard this testimony is named; he was , Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.* The Al odcstv Other is not named. Indeed throughout theentire book, which, undoubtedly, was written by St.John, himself, the name of John, son of Zebedee, isnever once written. In the account of the Last Supper, we read of a disciple whom Jesus loved, who sat sonear the Lord that his head could rest on Jesus bosom. These two instances, and others that might be namedindicate to us a prominent trait in St. Johns char- John 1:40.. With the Redeemer 119 acter; viz., an unassumed modesty that won him therespect and love of all who knew him. But John was the son of Salome and Zebedee, andthe younger brother of James, with whom he was„ , called Boanerges, or son of Thunder. Fearlessness ™ • • t i • • i • i Ihis gives us a little insight mto anotherphase of his character. Like his brother James, hewas evidently fiery in his zeal in whatever he under-took to do, and fearless in doing what he thought wasright. A modesty that made him shrink ever from prais-ing himself or unduly pushing himself forward; aLove f^^^^^^^^^^^ defending what is right, and a lovefor his Master that gave him the highest place inthe Saviors heart—these are three traits of Johnscharacter which stand out distinctly in the fragmen-tary accounts of his life. He lived, and was probably bom in Bethsaida, thehome of Peter and Andrew and Philip. He was a fish-erman by trade, and worked with his father andbrother Jame
