Rifles sloped in all directions
Solemn looking blokes.
Moving flies of khaki knickers
Bandoliers and rolled-up slickers
Glinting barrels, bayonet flickers
Solemn looking blokes.
Lean of jaw and lithe of muscle
Full of Yankee “pep” and hustle
Ready for a desperate tussle

Marching ’neath your starry banner
Solemn looking blokes.

Lesson for Sunday, March 3rd.
By A. B. Curry, Jr.

Golden Text: Jehovah hath
done great things for us
whereof we are glad—Psalms
126:3.
Lesson: Mark 4:35-41; 5:-15
20.
O~ —-O
(35) And on that day, when even
was come, he saith unto them, Let
us go over unto the other side.
(36) And leaving the multitude,
they take Him with them, even as
He was, in the boat. And other
boats were with Him. (37) And
there ariseth a great storm of wind,
and the waves beat into the boat,
insomuch that the boat was now
filling. (38) And He Himself was
in the stern, asleep on the cushion:
and they awoke Him, and say unto
Him, Teacher, rarest thou not that
we perish? (39) z\nd he awoke, and
rebuked the wind, and said unto
the sea, Peace, be still. And the
wind ceased, and there was a great
calm. (40) And He said unto them,
Why are ye fearful? Have ye not
yet faith? (41) And they feared
exceedingly, and said one to an
other, Who then is this, that even
the wind and the sea obey him?
* * * (15) And they come to Jesus
and behold him that was pos
sessed with demons sitting, clothed
and in his right mind, even him
that had legion: and they were
afraid. (16) And they that saw it
declared unto them how it befell
him that was possessed with dem
ons, and concerning the swine.
(17) And they began to beseech
Him to depart from their borders.
(18) And as He was entering into
the boat, he that had been pos
sessed with demons besought Him
that he might be Him.
(19) And he suffered him not, but
saith unto him, Go to thy house
unto thy friends, and tell them how
great things the Lord hath done
for thee, and how He nad mercy on
thee. (20) And he went his" way
and began to publish in Decapolis
how great things Jesus had done
for him.

eral movement. Note that in the first
chapter, after the preparatory events, we
are given one typical busy day out of
Jesus’ life; that 2:1-3:6 sets forth the
early opposition of the Jewish leaders,
issuing even thus early in a plot to de
stroy Him.; that Jesus then organizes to
meet this opposition by choosing twelve
chief helpers and beginning to train them.
This sifting and training process is fol
lowed up in chapter 4, where the Four
Kinds of Hearers and the Way the King
dom Grows are set forth by Jesus in par
ables.
Then comes our present lesson. It tells
of two mighty works of Jesus. This is
the beginning of a section, ending with
5:43, which recounts four mighty works
of Jesus. We study the first two of these
today. The significance of this "mighty
works” section is twofold: First, it shows
how Jesus impressed the public; second,
it shows how the Twelve came to think
of Him as they did. In other words the
process of sifting and training is still go
ing on here, and now by what Jesus does
rather than by what he teaches.
The key to this situation is found in the
question of the Twelve in 4:41, “Who then
is this?” Get this clearly before you.
On the one hand is Jesus trying his word
and by work to reveal to men who He is
and what His kingdom is. On the other
hand are these men, getting Him but dim
ly or not at all—the disciples dimly, the
Gerasenes not at all? There is a stand
point from which this is vitally interest
ing to us, for we stand today in their po
sition, trying to know Jesus. The ques
tion in our minds is the same as that in
theirs: "Who then is this?” Is he only
a prophet as one of the prophets, a teach
er among other teachers? If he ope who
■could speak beautiful sayings merely? Is
he a mystic, living too far above this
common world to care about such prac
tical matters as sailors who were losing
their boat or farmers who were losing
their swine? Who is He anyway, that we
should be called on to make the supreme
renunciation and follow Him?
This question is played up throughout
the remainder of the gospel. We should
not expect to get the full answer in the
lesson for this week. Yet even this lesson
helps much toward the answer. Its mes
sage is this: Whoever He may be, He is
surely Lord and Master of the forces in
both the world of matter arid the world
of spirit. He is one who can bring order
out of chaos, whether it be in the tem
pest on the sea, or in the tempest of
soul and mind which buffeted this man of
Gerasa.
What men seek in a leader or saviour
is one who can take conditions of tur
moil, stress and danger, and reduce them
to peace and safety and victory. Is it not
just this that you look for in your of
ficers in the army? Anybody can create
confusion. Some even can maintain or
der already existing. But we willingly
give our lives into the hand of Him alone
who can restore steady' poise when once
lost. Jesus proved to these followers of
His that they could safely rely on Him
when all seemed lost; that a legion of
demons could not create a hell in a poor
fellow’s life with which he could not cope.
“As soon as a soul trangresses,” says
Horace Bushnell, “it breaks out of order,
and its whole internal working becomes
mixed, confused, tumultuous, corrupt.
The passions are loose upon the reason,
the will overturns the conscience, the de
sires become unruly,, the thoughts are
some of them suggested by the natural
law of the mind, and some are thrust in
by the disorders of vitiated feeling, cor
rupt imagination, disordered memory and
morbid impulse.”
Is that a picture of the tempest raging
in your inner life. Then the message
of this lesson to you is that JESUES
BRINGS PEACE. Meet Him squarely and
try Him if this word be true. Then when
right-mindedness and order are restored,
go to thy tent unto thy mess-mates, and
tell them how great things the Lord hath
done for thee.
Do not leave this lesson without fixing’
vividly in your mind the picture of the
Christ as he stands out there before men
who want to know Him and follow Him,
but who still doubt Him End says to them,
"Why are ye fearful? Have ye not yet
faith?”

would be America’s right to dispute
the mastery of the seas. Reaching
out, farther and farther, who knows
how far! Pan-Germanism and the
world in subjection! Is this to be but
another chapter in the unfolding dra
ma, or is this to conclude the story?
America, must help to answer that.

When I was a little boy, my father 1
took me on his knee and he told me of '
that war for Alsace and Lorraine when '
he was an officer in the French army,
and he said, "You little boy, some day
you must fight because your father
fought and failed.” I want some day
to take on my knee, my little boy, as
you will want to take your little boys,
and perhaps their little boys and tell
them, “You little boys, you will not
have to fight because your father
won!”
