Seven Men A Boat Meet J Their Missing Master

When High Hopes Crashed, Friends of Crucified Leader Returned to Galilee and Its Fishing — A Marvel Befalls — Learning Love’s Lesson.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Many men who read this Lesson ! have said, with Peter, in a time of perplexity, exhaustion and anxiety, "I go a-fishing." Away from I the city with its cares, to the steadying quiet of familiar waters they have gone in search of refuge. peace and strength. E'or fish-1 ing is the recreation supreme: the one in which man gets closest to nature and to his own real self. It was natural that .when all his hopes had crashed in the death of Jesus, . Peter should return to memory- ■ i crowded Galilee, and to his old! calling. There were seven men in the boat that put out from the Northern shore of Galilee; where the fishing is mostly with nets. We can imagine the talk of this little group of disciples as they fruitlessly set their net throughout the long night. Their memories, their dyad hopes, were poignant and precious. Stranger by the Shore Day was breaking when a Stranger hailed the boat from the shore, and inquired as their luck. “Throw the net on the right hand side,” He said, “and you will find fish." Which they did. with results recalling an earlier miraculous draught of fishes. If may have' been that Jesus saw the school of I fish from where He stood; for 11 have often watched schocfls of Gal- ■ ilee fish breaking water. We may ' know that a fisherman wrote this ■ record, for he remembered the size of the catch — 153 fish. It was the love-anointed eyes of i John, the beloved disciple, that | first perceived the identity of the , Stranger. “It is the Master!" he 1 cried: whereupon Peter drew on his outer cloak and plunged over-] board for the hundred-yard swim to shore. To city folk it may seem surprising that Peter was naked in the boat. But I have repeatedly seen the Galilee fishermen unclothed, as they toiled in and out of the water. One day. as Milady and I strolled along the shore of Bethsaida, we saw a fisherman submerge up to his neck, amid the laughter and jeers of his companions. The scene reveals another aspect of the out-of-doors simple life of Jesus and His disciples. For He had a fire burning, with fish broiling on it. Jesus had caught the fish and made the fire and cooked the meal — three tests of a he-man. We do Him ill service when we etherealize the Man of Galilee, and rob Him of Hi* rugged manhood. One day last Spring some Arabs at the mouth of the Jordan, by a .beach, broiled over the 1 coals for us fresh-caught fish, which we ate from our fingers; thinking all the while of the lakeshore meal of our Lesson. The whole point of this study is the reality of the life of Jesus. One Word for Two Things John is sient about the table talk of that momentous meal; but we may be sure that somewhat of the old relationship between Master and disciples were reestablished. Perhaps we have had too much conjecture concerning the unrecorded life of Jesus; Hall Caine's new "Life" is a rasher horrible example of what I mean. High point of the interview was the Master's colloquy with Simon Peter, who was fully reestablished after his black betrayal. How much love always has to forgive! The whole meaning of the dialogue is lost in the English translation. When Jesus said. “Simon, lovI est thou me more than these?" He ' used, as also in the next question, the word "agape," which means ; love in its loftiest expression. Thus, the New Testament says, "God is agape"; and “God so agaped the world" This is the greatest word in the language for it is the best synonym of God. On Two Levels We all know what it is to speak on one plane and to be understood , only on another and lower.

when Jesus asked Peter, "Agapest thou me?" the disciple answered, “Yea, Lord. Thou knowest that I phileo Thee" using the lesser word for love which represents one man's kindly sentiments toward another, a mere human love. Searching out the depths of Peter. Jesus repeated His question, again using the high and holy word, agape. And again Peter answered with phileo; in effect, "I love you as one man lovea another." Still he did not understand. Then, with characteristic condescension, Jesus came down to Peter's level, and used his word, phileo — as if to say, “Do you even love me as one man loves another?” That cut Peter to the heart; "Peter was grieved," the record runs; and with deepest humility he replied. "Lord, Thou knowest all things: Thou knowest that I phileo Thee." Perhaps, in his new found humility, Peter was not willing to claim the higher form of love for himself. Certainly he later displayed it. At least he had thriced affirmed a love for the Lord whom he had thrice denied. Those Hungry Sheep With keenest interest the other six disciples had listened to this dialogue. They did not miss the meaning of it all, which Is that love is proved by service. Most men probably do not often reassure their wives and children of their love for them; but they the best possible livelihood. Words prove it by providing them with of love are a mockery unless supported by deeds of devotion. To Peter's first responce, Jesus replied. “Feed my lambs." Children first; the greatest Friend of childhood had ever uppermost in His heart the needs of the little ones. And we are most like Christ when we are serving the interests of children. His second response was. “Tend my sheep, ' and His third, like unto it, “Feed my sheep." That is the call of Christ wYiich comes ringing down the ages to all of His disciples: “Feed My lambs; tend My sheep; feed My sheep” — the hungry hearts that so piteously need sustenance, especially in these days. It was not any high counsel concerning His Church that the departing Lord gave to the men whom He entrusted with the task of carrying on His work; but a simple, repeated injunction to care for the welfare of the people.

CHAPTER XIX | “Listen,” Rosa said. “Two years, seven and a half months ago, you ] and yuur master and the usual cir-eus-like troop of retainers left' Southampton on official business.” "With the exception that the ex- ] pedition was not official and that our retinue consisted of one gunmaker, who was going out to look over his lordship's sporting guns, the state-1 ment is correct," Mr. Henry Yates acquiesced. “During those two years and seven and a half ..icnths you did not ] visit this country—or here,” she added, tapping the blue patch upon the chart. “You icver crossed the boundaries —no? That is what you j must tell me. If you do not answer ; there is no t,-o thousand, five hurdred pounds. And I—l am not for | you.” “I eannot tx.* that it matters,” he pleaded. “I e» answer every one of those questions and my answers will tel! you all that you want to know.” “I am tyin/ you down to a definite yes or no,” she persisted. "During this last expedition of yours, lasting between wo and three years, you either did or you did not visit this country.” “We did,” Henry Yates assented, “but we were not there all the time. We visited also Persia, India and Beluchistan. I don’t see why you lay so much stress upon this. What difference should it make to our bargain? Every scrap of information you require I itr. able to pass over to you,” t Os a sudden, R > P drew him into her ix-tns. Th-, she turned away with a slight shrug o the shoulders. She 'it a cigarette and commenced her second glass of sherry. “Well, I suppose it is all right,” she said, patting his cheek. “Tonight I will talk with van Westrheene. He will tell me whether what you say contents him. If he is satisfied you had better get to work at once.” Yates leaned back and looked out of the window. The wind had changed and the little center board leaning oh her side was half way home. “I shall be able to work for myself tonight and perhaps tomorrow night,” he confided. “When I have answered, say, forty of the ques-1 tions and the center board is on the other side of the bar, I will come. ] “To find me in the right mood,” she warned him, “they will have to be well answered. I will tell you now, little man,” she added, patting his cheeks, “you could have had all you wanted more easily—money, love and everything -if you aad come straight from that little blue patch there.” She tapped it once more .nth her finger as she rolled up the map and glanced out of the -window. "lie is coming in very quickiy,” she poihted out. “The first thing he will do is to come over or send the dinghy for me." Henry Yates finished his whiskey •nd soda, took up his hat and stick •nd accepted a polite salute. "You will excuse?” she begged. “Always as he draws nearer I am afraid." In his fancies—although there was nothing in his outward demeanor towards the world to indicate that he had any—Matresser had always pictured Elisabeth in the clinging robes which a fashionable portrait painter had that season immortalized, a beautiful lady of the salon depending for her cbsrfn upon her exquisite fragility rather than net more Diana-like qualities.

Late in the afternoon, i ice cream and cake were served.

The very sight of her swinging! down one of the rides of Otley Wood ( in her heather colored tweeds, her , face uplifted as though to catch a glimpse of the sky between the overhanging trees, was a revelation to him. She walked with the loose and easy gait of some vild creature of the woods, except that in her movements she shewed no signs of suspicion or fear—the natural habitude of all free animals Her slight start of surprize as she recognized Matresser and his companion Hun. phreys, was in itself a beautiful gesture. Her eyes, the color of the autumn leaves on which she trod, flashed out a welcome. “Do I go to prison for this?” she - asked. “I read your very severe trespass notice and I almost turned back.” “You go co prison and I am your jailer.” he declared, taking her lightly by th«- arm. "That will do Humphreys,” he went on. "W e have marked ail the trees, I think, and remember to trim the holly bu«hes on the left of Flottan’s Comer.” “I will get to work on them this afternoon, your lordship, ’ the man replied, touching his hat and turn ing away. “And now, young lady,” Matres ser asked, as they moved slowly on, side by side, “what are you doing in my woods?” “Seeking solitud ” she confided. “The house Is full o- people this afternoon. There is a sort of squash tournament goin„ on and all the young men in the neighborhood seem to have turned up.” "Thank heavens you've earned me,” he sighed fervently. “Ar you tired ?” She smiled in derision. “I have only walked down from the house,” she said. "Then we will go round the bottom of the wood," he proposed, “and come out on the pier.” “So long as we do not meet your terrifying Dutchman," she laughed. “This is an occasion,” he declared after a few moments pause. “Do you realize. Mademoiselle Elisabeth Stamier. that I have never, practii rally, talked to you except when you have been making magic with your | fingers and reducing my thoughts i to pulp, or in our rather overheated j drawingrooms ? I like to be out of 1 doors.” “I, too,” she agreed. "Tell me what you have been doing with your gamekeeper.” He indulged in a slight grimace. “The fates, coupled With the fact of my advancing years, seem to have agreed that I shall now settle down —whatever that means. I am taking an interest in my belongings and, like all -selfish people, I am beginning with the things that I like best' Next week I shall ride sround to call on svme of the tenants. Just now I am planning out the work for Humphreys and the other keepers to start upon directly we have finished shooting.” There was a lack of enthusiasm in her demeanor which he could scarcely fall to notice. “I suppose you think I ought to leave my property to itself and look further afield for occupation,” he remarked. “T would not presume," she said gravely, “to criticize m any way, but—” She hesitated. “Well?” “One sort of feels,” she went on, “that much of the practical side of managing estates eould be done in an office and that the hrains of the world, the knowledge and experience which you must have gained in all •’•our travels, even if they have been chiefly for sport, might be better employed-"

Tickets Are Still Available For Play Decatur theater patrons still have a chance to get good tickets for the performance of "Shadow and Substance" at the Shrine Theatre tu Fort Wayne, Monday night. This assurance conies from the theater mtnagement, who realizes that out-of-town patrons have held oft purchasing their tickets because of the conditions of the roads and now that the condition of the highways is improved, many from Decatur will, no doubt, want to attend, and they can make their reservations by culling the Shrine Theatre in Fort Wayne, and tickets will be held tor them. “Shadow and Sustance" is what may be termed a triple attraction, namely, the popularity of the play with its long run in New York; the prestige of Sir Cedric Hardwicks, famous on the English stage as an actor and in America, a screen favorite; and Julie Haydon, who although appeared in a few of the big movies, is acclaimed by many as a candidate for America’s sweetheart honors. o Quill Pens of 1790 Found Gallipolis, O.- (U.R)—Quill pens belonging to Francois Creuzet, one of the original French settlers here in 1790, have been found stored in an old chest.

| “You think that, do you?” he I meditated. • “I do indeed,” she said firmly, i “Y’ou have been away from Europe I for so long that it must be hard for you to realize, but to me and many others who think about our countries at all, it does seem as though a sort of chaotic paralysis were creeping over the world. If it is not lethargy , it is disaster.” “You are in a serious frame of > mind,” remarked Matresser to Elisabeth. I “1 am a serioua person.” she told ' him. “I have every predisposition towards frivolity. I want to play all the time. I would love to find . myself in a world in which there . was no work to be lone ard only music to trouble one’s senses, but it is not possible. These are the days , to quote our enemy Hellstern—- . when a man's hand must rest upon the sword.” “And a woman’s?” Her manner stiffened a little. “That was only allegorical, of course. I think that all humanity,, all the nations —men, women and 1 children—should be training themselves to do something in life to I restore the lost balances.” “Tha- sounds very depressing." he ..dmitted, “especially coming , from the daughter of one of the gay- ’ est nations in the civilized world.” “Once perhaps the gayest,” she nsisted. “Not now. Even you. if , you were to spend a few months traveling closer at home .. . through . my country, for instance . . . might see things a little differently. It is the cities and crowded places where I human beings still I've that are i worth rediscovering. . . . And now." she concluded, with a laugh, “I have been almost rude to my host.

You do not seem to approve cf me at all.” She made no -eply.

She looked up i at him questioningly. I “Admiring your property?” -he : inquired with gentle sarcasm.
