Laval Concert

BY CHARLES GARRISON Jeanne Laval’s best group of songs presented at the Indianapolis Matinee Musicale at the Masonic Temple yesterday was her French group. Miss Laval is a contralto with as brilliant a tone as I have heard. An Aria, "Du Christ avec ardeur” from “La Mort de Jeanne d’Arc,” by Herman Bemberg, had the qualities that gave this woman her best opportunities. It was heavy, but handled with great ease and a marvelous tone quality. In this group were three old French Canadian songs that were of the light and airy kind. My knowledge of French is rather slight, but the enunciation of Miss Laval was perfect enough to enable me to follow her songs with more ease than I had thought possible. “Over the Steppes,” which was the first number of her group in English, gave Miss Laval opportunity to show what low tones she was capable of. And I want to say that she was far from disappointing. The program consisted of four groups in Italian, German, French, and English. In every case Miss Laval started her group with the heaviest number and finished with something light. It was a good concert.

Sunday School Lesson

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Jan. 29: The Secret of Jesus’ Fame. Mark 3:7-12; 6:53-56. BY WM. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of The Congregationalist THE Gospels deal with a very short period in the life of Jesus. We have the story of His babyhood, then a glimpse of His boyhood as He is found discoursing with the doctors in Jerusalem, and one brief reference to His normal growth as He increases in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with iGod and man. * Then there is a lapse of the record until He nears His thirties, when suddenly we have the story of the beginning of His distinctive ministry. The record would suggest that the name and fame of Jesus'were established with great rapidity. That He could not have been thought of as remarkable prior to the beginning of His ministry would seem to be implied in the great surprise with which those whom He first addressed listened to his teachings. They were amazed at "His wisdom and wondered whence He could have had the knowledge as they had thought of Him only as a carpenter. Story Spreads Along with this fame of His teachings there spread the story of His wonderful works. When one thinks of all that can happen in a modem city in the sudden emergence of someone into fame, one can begin to appreciate the nature and extent of the sensation that the ministry of Jesus caused in Galilee and Judea, which were small provinces and so thickly populated that they approached more the urban conditions of modern times than thetural

MllM

aspect which we have usually associated with the environment of- the ministry of Jesus. The name and fame of Jesus, however, are all the more remarkable inasmuch as He carefully and persistently sought to avoid all the methods and practices which are used to promote publicity. A leading advertising expert In America, who has written a popular book on the life of Jesus, emphasizes the advertising associated with His ministry; but it is worth while to point out that in the meet specific way Jesus sought to avoid the very things that a teacher or prophet in the modern world, seeking popularity and publicity, would the most studiously strive to develop. Here in our lesson we are told that Jesus charged those who were healed “that they should not make him known.” Again and again just at what seemed the very climax of His sensational place in the minds of the people He avoided the crowd and went off to the mountain or the desert. His Reasons? Why was Jesus so anxious to 5 avoid this undue publicity of a sort that so many other people who seek to be influential have been so anxious to secure? Apparently there were two reasons: First, Jesus wished the supreme emphasis to be upon His teaching and upon the spiritual truth He came to impart rather than upon Himself; and secondly, He was anxious that the emphasis upon all that he supremely represente din His mission and in His teaching should not be misplaced. He coveted not the adulation of the multitudes for Himself as a wonderworker, but the humble quest

' of the salvation that He had corns to I bring. I Hence it was that Jesus sought to avoid too much emphasis upon the mighty works or upon the material aspect of His ministry. When people came seeking signs and wonders He immediately suggested to them that the truth that He had to give was the supreme sign. I have heard ministers who have occupied a large place in the public mind say that they did not care what the newspapers said about them as long as they said something. I have known men who did not care how seriously their sermons were misrepresented in newspaper reports as long as a fair amount of space was given to them. All that would have been thoroughly repugnant to Jesus as it is thoroughly repugnant to every minister who is profoundly honest and whose concern is far more for accuracy in the statement of truth and for soundly spiritual influence, than for any mere aggrandizement of his own position or the extemc.i "success” of his church. The Nuisance of Noise We might all learn profoundly along this line from the methods of Jesus, both from His example in doing good and his zeal for doing good unostentatiously. Even good works are sometimes marred by the blare and flourish of trumpets with which th§y are accomplished, but all truly great saints have had in their lives an element of spiritual restraint. There are things that are influential because of an intense sacredness that keeps them from gross and calculated publicity. What a different world it would be if all name and fame were established upon the sound and holy basis upon which the name and fame of Jesus have been built through nineteen centuries into the fabric of huqaan life.
