THE PROMPTNESS BORN OF
DECISION.
Sunday School Lesson For Jan. 20, 1918.
Golden Text: John 9:4 —"I must work
the works of him that sent me, while it
is day: the night cometh when no man
can work.”
Lesson Text Mark 1:21-31.
21 And they entered into Capernaum;
and straightway on the Sabbath day
he entered into the synagogue, and
taught.
22 And they were astonished at his doc
trine for he taught as one that had
authority, and not as the scribes?
23 And there was in their synagogue a
man with an unclean spirit; and he
cried out,
24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we
to do with thee, thou Jesus of Naza
reth? Art thou come to destroy us?
I know thee who thou art, the Holy
one of God.
25 And Jesus rebuked him saying, Hold
thy peace, and come out of him.
26 And when the unclean spirit had torn
him and cried with a loud voice, he
came out of him?
27 And they were all amazed, insomuch
that they were questioning among
themselves, saying, What thing is
this. What new doctrine is this?
for with authority commandeth he
the unclean spirits and they do obey
him.
28 And immediately his fame spread
abroad throughout the region round
about Galilee.
29 And forthwith, when they were come
out of the synagogue, they entered
into the house of Simon and Andrew,
with James and John.
30 But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick
of a fever, and anon they tell him of
her!
21 And he came and took her by the
hand and lifted her up; and imme
diately the fever left her and sh<
ministered unto them.
32 And at even, when the sun did set
they brought unto him all that wen
diseased, and them that were pos
sessed of devils?
13 And all the city was gathered to
gether at the door.
34 And he healed many that were sic!
of divers diseases and cast out man.’
devils; and suffered not the devils t<
speak, because they knew him.
Jesus at Work.
Jesus addresses himself to his m'nis
try with promptness and his mind is fixed
•with a marked decision and definiteness.
He shows no feverish haste, his mind ir
sst; he knows what is to be his ministry
tomorrow as well as of the day at hand
He comes to a definite decision quickly
and puts that decision into action with
the greatest possible dispatch.
Wa notice a freedom of tradition, an
originality, and directness which is in
spiring. His was no second-hand truth.
People were astonshed at his doctrim
“for he taught them as one having au
thority.” This was in marked contras 1
with the scribes who were inclined tc
adhere to established traditions.
Jesus exercised his authority; the au
thority of truth: the authority of right
over wrong; of good over evil.
This authority was not always public in
nature. John tells us that Jesus made
his beginning of miracles in a HOME
This couples Christianity very closely
with the home life.
Jesus’ fame spread greatly. A man
with authority and decision soon comes
to a place of recognition, in the above
passages Mark gives us a vivid impres
sion of the stir created by a clear
visioned. fully-decided man. who ad
dressed himself to the great task of hu
man ministry.
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
General Secretary—R. J. McGreevy, Jr.
Secretary Building No. I—John E.
Crowley.
Post Chaplain—Rev. Win. —Lallou.
Post Chaplain Rev. James Banahan,
The past week at the Knights of Co
lumbus Hail at Camp Hancock has been
an interesting one for several reasons.
Owing, mainly, perhaps, to the new feel
ing of the advertised “pep” which is being
inoculated unconsciously into the men of
the Twenty-eighth Division. The evening
entertainments have been unusually well
attended—the boxing shows and other
sports have been' well patronized and the
letter writing facilities of the building
have been taxed to the utmost. The
largest number of letters which were ever
written in the building were written and
mailed there this week. ’During this time
over 90,000 sheets of stationary were dis
tributed over the counter and nearly 25,-
000 letters were mailed at the building.
•On Wednesday afternoon and evening
5,800 pieces of mail w.er taken in at the
building, in fact, throughout the entire
week the writing tables have had a wait
ing’ list and the secretaries have been
kept busy distributing writing material.
On Thursday morning the ladies of the
Catholic Ladies’ Club of Augusta made
their weekly visit to the building to mend
the clothes of the soldiers. The people of
Augusta have responded nobly' to the
needs of the soldiers in all ways possible
but no work that they have' done has
elicited such appreciation from the men
benefited as the work of the ladies in tak
ing care of their clothes. If a touch of
home was necessary to convince the men
of Augusta’s interests in them, this work
of tlie ladies has added the touch.
On Monday evening, the 109th Infantry
Band rendered a concert that was much
enjoyed. This is the second time that
this band has played in the hall and it
fully upheld the reputation which it made
by its charming music 911 the first occa
sion It is a very good band that stands
out pre-eminently among other good
bands and the men who compose it are
masters of their instruments.
The boxing bill of Thursday evening'
was carried through with the exception of |
several bouts, the Participants of which |
were unable to be present owing to other j
duties. Eddie Keefe of No. 1 Company, I
Military' Police, officiated as referee arid ■
matchmaker.
On Sunday evening Miss Loretto King |
of New York city favored the building '
with her presence and for over an hour I
amused the men assembled there with her i
depiction of modern conversation and her :
imitation of famous personages. Miss
King is a very talented young lady, and
her efforts are appreciated wherever she
is heard, but she has never yet had an
audience that was so carried away by'
her charms and talent as the one'that
heard and enjoyed her work Sundav even
in jf.

will find in him a friend and counsellor in
whom they can unquestionably confide is
certain.
