Sunday School Lesson

BY WM. E. GILROY. D.D. IAHE incidents of this lesson are related to the parables of the last lesson concerning the growth of the kingdom of Heaven. It was on the day in which these parables were spoken and by the western side of the Sea of Galilee that Jesus suggested, apparently to get some relief from the multiude who had been listening to his teachings, that he and his disciples should go over to the other side of the lake. So the disciples took Jesus in a boat, ana, along with other boats, they started across the lake. The Sea of Galilee, or the Lake of Gennesaret as it is also called, is twelve and a half miles long at its greatest length and eight miles wide, and a lake even of those proportions can be subject to very serious storms and squalls, and it must be remembered that the boats of that day were small. This particular lake was accustomed to unusually violent storms because it was enclosed on all sides, except on the northwest, by steep mountains, and the wind sometimes sweeping down from these mountains with something of the force of a tornado made the onset of the storm frequently as terrible as it was sudden. This was what happened in this journey across the lake, though Jesus was so worn out with his dealings with the multitude that he had fallen alseep in the stern of the boat. This in itself is an interesting commentary upon the intensity of the ministry of Jesus and the severity of its constant strain. Could we think of a man even in ordinary weariness going to sleep under such circumstances? The terror-stricken disciples are amazed at his unconcern and they awake him with an open reproach, “Master, carest though not that we perish?” What a strange contrast in the peace that comes as Jesus rebukes the winds and waves and there arises a great calm! What was this power that Jesus exercised over nature? We are here in the presence of a miracle, and all that questioning in the mind of man concerning the fact and nature of miracle immediately comes to light. As I have often said, it does not fall within the function of these brief comments upon the lessons to deal with ultimate questions of criticism such as are involved in discussions regarding the nature and reality of miracles. I have, however, remarked upan the fact that the recorded miracles, practically all, have some definite rela-

tionship to the spiritual mission and ministry of Jesus. The evidence of the power of Jesus is not found today in the calming of stormy seas and of violent winds or in fact in any outward manifestation of physical power, but in that effectiveness with which he allays the storms of human life, quieting the violent and disturbed passions of men and bringing peace as blessed as that came upon the Sea of Galilee to the souls of those over wrought by sin and struggle. Not long ago we heard of a woman who made an ocean trip and was desperately seasick. She prayed earnestly that the return trip might be over a calm sea, and the minister who related the incident said that this woman almost' lost her faith when her prayer apparently was unanswered and the sea was as rough as ever. That sort of faith is not particularly deep or intelligent, and that sort of prayer is not prayer in its noble aspect as Jesus taught it If the life of in its literal record suggests his power over nature, we are reminded also that there were instances where Jesus just as clearly and definitely were subject to law and submitted himself to law. He was weary beyond measure, he suffered hunger, and in the last treat triumph of his life, though he prayed earnestly .there was no power to save him from death and the cross. The cup that he desired to pass from him was his to drink, and it was not in refusing that cup but in the depth of his submission. “Not my will but thine be done,” that Jesus revealed the power of his own prayer life and the divinity of grace effective for human salvation.

F. Keith’s before the beginning of the split-week policy, which will be inaugurated Feb. 19, will bring as the headline act on the vaudeville bill anew combinaticn that promises to become a vaudeville favorite, A1 Shean of the famous Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Shean team, and Miss Lynn Canter, prima-donna of the Greenwich Village Follies. Shean is too well and too favorably known as c comedian to need any introduction to the vaudeville public, while Miss Canter has just concluded an engagement with the Fellies, and has both the voice and looks requisite for feminine success on the stage. They will be seen in a skit, “Business Is Business,” that pays big dividends in fun and melody. It was written for them by William K. Wells, who has furnished much of vaudeville’s funniest material and is responsible for many of the comedy scenes in the present edition of George White’s “Scandals.” Bill includes: JED DOOLEY AND COMPANY— A comedian who has established himself on the stage and screen, and a pretty girl, Audree Evans, i who is an excellent foil for his

Not only does Jed get laughs for what he does, but for what he attempts and fails and the alibis he offers. He never does two shows alike, and it takes a clever “company” to keep up with his extemporaneous humor. THE THREE SWlFTS—Jugglers who arc as rapid as their name implies. They manipulate the most intricate and amusing revolutions. PACO AND JUANlTA—Spanish dancers of the famous Cansino family. They do such typical Castilian numbers as the Tambourine Dance, La Valencianna, La Mariposa and Malagna and Bolero. They are assisted by Rita Alexander. The act is costumed and staged with all the color and beauty characteristic of Spain. JACK LEE—Under the billing of “It’s the Old Boy Himself.” Jack Lee offers a ventriloquist act that is out of the ordinary. “THE MIDNIGHT FLYER”—A story of the mountain railroads in 1894, when trains raced ggainst time to gain a mail contract and comedy, romance and melodrama are intermingled. William Boyd of “Dress Parade” and “Two Arabian Nights” fame, is the star. Pathe News, Aesop's Fables, Topics of the Day and a Snookums comedy, four short film features that tep the list of short film fare.
