Sunday School Lesson

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Jan. 8: Jesus and the Slek—Mark 1:21-34. BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of the Congregatlonalist THE public ministry of Jesus is characterized in this first chapter of Mark with a quality that shows the great discernment of this writer of the simplest and most directly expressed of the four Gospels. Mark says that the people were astonished at his teaching, “for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.” Consider that statement for a moment and one realizes the real nature of the authority exercised by Jesus. The scribes were the people who professed to have authority and who possessed it so far as the conventional organization of religion was concerned. Yet here is an unofficial teacher who comes without the sanction of any organization or school or official, and by the sheer force of Ills personality, the truth of his words, and the beauty of his actions impresses the people as one who has real authority. By Sheer Truth What an ideal it presents to the Christian ministry for those who would exercise it either in its ordained or in its lay aspect! In actual fife, both in the church and in the world, we are always trying to bolster up things with an authority which is largely artificial, to influence the thought and faith and conduct of people more by outward and psychological forces than by the power of sheer conviction. This is one reason why in so many quarters today there is a decadence in the sense of authority and a falling away from standards of faith and conduct. We shall not recover lost ground until we come to follow more closely the way of Jesus, placing the supreme authority in right and truth themselves and not in what some may say about them.

City and State Will Honor Damrosch on His Sixty-Sixth Birthday While Playing at Murat

A N opportunity to honor Walter Damrosch, the one man in America, who has done more in the past forty years for the development of music, than any other, on the anniversary of his sixty-sixth year will be the privilege of Indiana and Indianapolis on Jan. 30. Fortunate for us the date of the concert of the New York Symphony Orchestra, the second of the series of orchestra concerts of the Indianapolis Symphony Society, Ona B. Talbot managing director, falls on the same day as Damrosch’s birthday. Upon acquaintance of this fact the board of directors ol the Symphony Society began plans for a real birthday celebration for Mr. Damrosch. Completed plans will be announced later. A notable program has been arranged by Mr. Damrosch for the New York Symphony concert in Indianapolis to please all musical tastes opening with a Brahms Symphony, and closing with the lovely “Vienna Woods” waltz of Johannes Strauss. Following is the complete program: —i—“Svmphsny No. 2 In D” Brahm* Allegro non Troppo. Adagio Troppo, Allegretto Graioao. Allegro con Spirito. —lift) “Flight of the Bumble Bee” Rimsky-Korsakoff (b) “Entrance of the Little Fauns”. .Pierne -11 - Symphonic Poem “The Spinning wheel of Omphale” Salnt-Satns —IV—"St. Francis Preaching to the Birds”..Liszt —V—"Adagio for Lekcu Waltz—“ Tales from the Vienna Woods" Strauss The third and last concert of the sixth annual season of the Indianapolis Symphony Society will be in the form of a great spring festival of music with the Dayton Westminster choir, John Finley Williamson, conductor and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Fritz Reiner conducting on Monday evening April 16.

All this it is very necessary to grasp as we approach the Master in his dealing with the people. Here in his early ministry we have the record of his power over the sick and those who in our modern day would be spoken of as the insane or mentally unbalanced. Perhaps many of these were not so much insane as nervously deranged. The number of miracles recorded is not very great, and it is significant that they all have some inner suggestion of the larger and deeper mission of Jesus. It does not become us to be dogmatic in our discussion of these intricate questions that concern the power of mind and spirit over matter. It is literally true that under the very power of science greater miracles of healing are wrought today than were ever possible in the life of the world before. Are not these things manifestations of the power of God? Under His Influence But back of all this question of the consideration of miracles can we not sense the marvelous power and Influence of the divine power of Jesus? Can we conceive of the sick and inflicted coming in contact with him without being quickened and stimulated? Can we conceive of those whose minds are unbalanced and whose spirits were deranged coming under the influence of Ills sanity and his goodness and his power to give rest and peace without inevitably having their whole attitude toward life altered? It is easy to believe what marvelous power Jesus must have exerted when we understand with any reality what Jesus was. It is from this standpoint that we must approach the whole ministry of Jejus, emphasizing the authority ar and the power and the health-givtrg Inherent in all that he was, in all that he said, and In all that he did.

THERE are two distinguishing traits in Madame Galli-Curci, prima donna of prima donnas, who will again delight her host of friends in Indiana with a recital of songs on Sunday afternoon Feb. 19 in the Murat Theater under the direction of the Ona B. Talbot Fine Arts Enterprises. ??hese traits are a marvellously retentive memory and a tender heart. Once she has been Introduced to people, no matter how great the niflnber at a time, she recalls in that magic way of hers both face and flame at a next meeting., As for her tender heart, it shows very clearly in sincere, deep expressions in the songs she sings, and it shows also in a multitude of other ways. For one thing she never lets a chance escape her to do an act of kindness. Quietly, unobtrusively she accomplishes it, then slips away, like a ray of sunshine peeping into a dark room to lighten it and vanish, leaving a cheering memory. The remaining Sunday afternoon concerts under the Ona B. Talbot Fine Arts Enterprises direction will present Feodor Chaliapin, famous basso. Feb. 26; Ossip Gabrilowitsch, pianist, Jacques Thibaud. violinist in co-artist recital, March 25; Ignace Jan Paderewski, pianist. April 1 and Jascha Heifetz, violinist, April 8. m n 0 MARY GARDEN, celebrated prima donna, who will sing at the Murat on Wednesday evening, Jan. 25. demonstrated some of the qualities that have helped to make her the famous person she is when she filled her Paris concert engagement in the face of seemingly unsurmountable difficulties. The singer was en route to the French capital from Monte Carlo, where she appears annually in opera, when her train was wrecked and the coach in which she was riding derailed. The baggage car containing all of the singer’s luggage was overturned and both her accompanist and personal maid injured. Undaunted, however. Miss Garden walked two miles to the nearest village, borrowed a motor car and drove the remaining distance to Paris, arriving there an hour after the scheduled time for the beginning of the concert. A telegram to the frenzied impresario had assured him of her eventual arrival and the great audience had remained en massi. Still in her traveling dress, Miss Garden came out on the stage and briefly explained litr predicament. There was no accompanist, nor even any notes, but the diva sat down at the piano, and, playing her accompaniments from memory, sang one song after another, completely rising about the harrowing experiences of the afternoon and her own somewhat disheveled state. The audience gave her a memorable ovation and next morning the critics of the Paris press declared her to be the "supreme genius of the stage.”
