t PI 3‘55; . In the Synagogue The four disciples who had been called from their fishing boats to the school of Christ that they might learn to be fishers pt men, went with Jesus on the Sabbath into the synagogue, and sat down with the audience. The service was equivalent to our usual Sunday services. If the present ruins of Tel Hum be the site of Capernaum, as the majority of scholars think, then the ruins of the synagogue discovered there are probably the ruins of the very synagogue in which Jesus preached. The walls were 74 feet 9 inches long by 55 feet 9 inches wide, and 10 feet thick. It appears to have been better finished than any other synagogue in upper Galilee, and to have been ornamented more protuselyl ;The interior was divided into five aisles by four rows of columns. l Jesus Preaching It was common to ask any suitable person, especially if he was in any Wayuprominent, to speak at the synagogue services, which Were more like our prayer meetings or Sunday School opening services than our more formal church services. They were‘astonished at his doc- trine, rather "teaching," including both what he taught and the manner and spirit of his teaching. For he taught them as one that had auth- ority, a not as the scribes, who were a,riiitt,isiictyal1is,'r,s; who dwelt on to , incidentals, and details, and not on principles; who argued and quoted, but did not know. Jesus preached to them what he had preached to his neighbors in Nazareth, from Isaiah's prophecy, .now being fulfilled. Golden Text-Jesus said unto him, INrday is salvation come to this house. “Luke 19:9;- The Teacher and His Class The teacher in the Sunday School ‘who stimulates interest in the scholars by connecting the lessons with the concerns of daily life will be the most effective in teaching the truths of the Bible and "will rise to ever higher levels of bodily vigor, mental capaci- __ty, and moral character." In a" recent article in the Atlantic =Monthly is the following paragraph: "Everybody agrees that power to ap- ply one's self, and to work hard men- tally is the main object of education, but nearly everybody also has come to know that inspiration or stimula- tion of interest in any mental Work will produce this power to work hard more quickly and more thoroughly than any driving process no matter what the means of compulsion." Jesus spoke as one who knew. He knew the way to heaven, for he had been there; he knew the principles ot the kingdom of God, for he was The teacher must, however, guard against hard and fast rules of con- duct. Jesus gave principles, not rules, and the teachers ot to-day can certainly do no better than follow his example. , His conduct and character gave him great personal power in his preaching. Both parts of the lesson for to-day are extremely practical: What would Jesus do on Sunday if he lived in the ‘midst of our' modern civilization? and What would we do if Jesus al- ways lived, visibly, in our home? tle always said the truth, without equivacation or reserve.

There is, no hint of this attitude in the audi- is no AAWAAV or “a -ee ence which watched him cast out the demon. TVhether the more bigoted portion of the Jews, the, Pharisees, were not present at this service, or whether the astounding nature of this miracle silenced them, We do not know. The record only says "And im- mediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about.” When they were come out of the synagogue, at the close of the, ser- vice just referred to, they, probably Jesus and "the Four," Peter, John, Andrew, and James, entered into the house of Simon and Andrew. It is possible that Peter's house was to Jesus in the north something like what the house of Lazarus and his two sisters at Bethany was in the south. Jesus in Peter’s Home The event here described occurred on the same Sabbath day as, and probably directly after, the synagogue, service which has just been referred to. Jesus rebuked the demon and com- manded him to come out of the man. After he "had torn him, and cried Wxth a loud voice, he came out of him." What is this? A new teaching! “One surprise following close on an- other provoked wondering inquiry as to the whole phenomenon. The words following state the twofold ground of their astonishment: a style of teach- ing new as to authoritativeness; ‘he commandeth the unclean spirits so that they (obey him.' Both equally un- looked for; the former a moral mir- acle, the latter a' physical, both re- vealing an imperial spirit exercising sway over the minds and bodies of He spoke with the authority of an ambassador from heaven. It is on think to speak as an individual, and quite another to speak-as the auth- orized representtive of a great gov- ernment whose whole power lies back of the. message. Note that all good teaching and preaching must have something of this quality of authority which char- acterized the preaching of Jesus. It must be the fruit ot experience and} knowledge. The power in preaching is the man behind the sermon. Jesus Healing Jesus was interrupted in his preach- ing by "a man with an unclean spir- it," a demoniac, who suddenly cried out in the midst of a paroxsym, "What have we to do with thee, thou Jesus ot Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God." This distinctly implies that Peter was married. That his wife had not died is probable from the reference to his wife by Paul in 1 Cor. 9:5. This makes it strange that the Ito- man Catholics should lay so much stress on the celibacy of the clergy. Peter and his family had none of that insipid nonsense about his mother-in-law which supplies so many would-be witty people with state jokes. Peter’s “Wife was a part ot himself; and he would not have been Simon's Wife's Mother D. A. DUNLAP. Treasurer ANDREW s. GRANT; Vice-Chairman and Secretary (100! Excelsior Life Bldg.. Toronto) worthy to be an Apostle, nor even the lowest disciple of Jesus, had he not cared for his Wife's mother as he would for his own. Lay Sick of a Fever Luke calls it "a great fever," one of a severe, malignant, and danger- ous type. The quantity of marshy land in the neighborhood, especially at the entrance of the Jordan into the lake, has made fever of a very malig- nant type at times the characteristic of the locality, so that the physicians would not allow Josephus, when hurt by his horse sinking in the neighbor- ing marsh, to sleep even a single night in Capernaum, but hurried him on to Tarichaea. . Jesus in the Home What Jesus did in Peter's house he. is now doing in all homes where he is welcomed, and where his spirit pervades the household. One other home in Palestine is named in the Gospels as the resort of Jesus,--the home at Bethany ot Mary and Mar- tha. Thrice blessed are those homes where Jesus makes his home, and the children who are .brought up in this atmosphere. . . Took her by the hand, to express his kindly sympathy and courtesy, and to make it evident that the miraculous cure came from him. Im- mediately the fever left her. This was the fiat of Omnipotence. She ministered unto them. The service would consist in supplying food and any other neeed attentions --a nat- ural Way for a' woman in her home to express her gratitude, Luke states more clearly what is implied in Mark, “Immediately she arose, and ministered unto them." Such a fever invariably leaves the patient weak. The period of convalescence is always long and trying, often full of danger. The fact that she ministered to them, i.e., served in the ordinary duties ot the household, shows that Christ in healing the disease also imparted health and strength; and it demon- strates the miraculous character of the cure. Sabbath Evening And at. even, when the sun did set, was setting, the evening of this same Sabbath. The multitudes came after sunset, because the heat of the day would have been too distressing to the sick; because they did not wish to violate the sacred rest of the Sabbath day. At sunset the Sab- bath ended, according td the Jewish custom, and the people were free to bring their sick to the Great Healer. By this time the news ot Jesus' mir- aculous power, .two examples of which are reported, would have had time to spread over the city. The people recognized both the power and the willingness ot Jesus to heal, He healed many that were sick. All of them, says Matthew. He laid his hands on every one of them as he did on the mother-in-law of Peter. And suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him. They knew that he was the Christ, the Son of God, and were tempted to proclaim the fact, and perhaps, to plead with him that he “torment them not be- fore the time." Jesus did not desire the testimony of demons even when they spoke the truth. Jo that all tho citl was gathered to- gether at the door of Peter's house. Jesus at the close of his life pro- mised his disciples that they should do greater things that he did in Palestine. And this promise, _ has proved true, not only in the moral changes from sin to holiness, from Matthew refers to this work of Jesus as fulfilling Isaiah's picture of the promised Messiah, so that the people could see that the picture was fulfilled by Jesus in every line. _ _ " the diseased to the healthy soul, but in the physical blessings which he is working through his disciples. Pub- lic and private institutions for the cure and comfort of the body spring up everywhere under the influence of Christia,nity as herbs and flowers under the genial influences of spring time. They do not work miracles, but are better than the power of miracles, as the prolonged sunshine is better than a flash of lightning. Blind asylums have taught people to see without eyes; hospitals have cared for multitudes ot sick and in- sane. We cannot raise the dead to life, but the average length of life has been greatly increased. As the'sun was setting. Jesus, standing at "the door T of Peter's house, healed all the, sick and suffer- ing who had come there from all parts of the city, or had been brought there' by relatives and friends: We can easily imagine how boys and girls went around the city telling of the good news, and offering to bring sick children to Jesus; just as to-day boys and girls can bring other children to church,pr Sunday'School, or to the Junior Endeavor meetings; or can help in many ways the neglected, the poor, the bashful, and the unfortun- ate. I We know not what early hours ot that busy Sabbath Jesus spent in prayer alone with the Father in hea- ven, as on other occasions. What do we learn trom this Sab- bath in the Life of Jesus, as to oiar Lord's manner of keeping the Sab- bath Day? Jesus went to the public service in the regular house ot worship, He taught in the synagogue from the Bible. He stopped his preaching to cure, in the church, some one, who needed his help. He healed the mother of the fam- ily of a dead1y~sickness, so that she could mingle With the family, grid Jesus their guest. , Can we not justly imagine Jesus and his disciples and Peter's , wife and his disciples and Peter's wife and her mother in sweet and beauti- ful and heavenly converse with Je- sus during the afternoon hours? Football, in my opinion, is the best and most upbuildlng sport in which a boy can participate, and I believe that after peace is declared it will again take its place as the leading college sport. Its virtual eclipse dur- ing the war was not due to any weak- ness of the sport itself, or to mis- management such as brought some other sports into temporary disfavor, but resulted solely from the fact that college men, almost as a unit, went to war. Indeed, the hold of football on young men was given a striking illustration by the very fact that Bev- eral colleges, including my own alma mater, Fordham, had good tedms re- cruited among the students too young to go to war. . HOW TO BECOME AN ' EXPERT FOOTBALL PUNTER With the return of football to nor- mal conditions, I hope to see a fur- ther'development of the art of kick- irur--both punting and drop-kicking. It has always seemed to me that toot- ball men have not devoted enough at- tention to this important phase of the game. Of course, no team is complete without a good kicker; but there would be more experts to call upon if every man-even the tinesmen--devel- oped himself in this respect. When I was halfback on the Ford- ham eleven of 1909, and during my prep school days, I observed that very few of the men paid any atten- tion, to kicking, being content'to let one, or two fellows do it all. Now, that seemed to me to be wrong, tor among those who did no Punting there must have been one or two who could be developed into stars. Even when I was a youngster in the High School of Commerce, New York City, I gave considerable time and thought to the kicking end of the game. I remember I used to go up to South Field every afternoon during the season and watch Harry Weeks, the old Columbia star, practise punt- ing, and in that way I picked up a great deal of information. Another famous player from whom I learned a great deal was Frank Hudson, the old Carlisle Indian half- back. In fact, from him I got a trick which enabled me to make a much greater distance on my drop kicks. _ Most drop-Kickers, I think, drop the ball to the ground straight in front of them. ‘I found that by dropping it a foot or two in front, at the same time inclining the ball so that its axle pointed over my head, I could get from ten to twenty yards more distance. _ The reason tor this is ob- vious: With the ball a foot or so further in front, the toe strikes it farther along in the are of its swing, with a consequent increase in force andpower. . ' But this trick alone will pot make a good kicker-albeit I averaged from fifty to sixty yards on my drop kicks. Practice-long, continuous, and con- stant praotice--is the only thing- that can make a successful punter or drop-kicker. Every afternoon after signal drill and the scrimma e with the Fordh'am scrub team I got tile pig- skin and remained on the field,‘punt- ini; and drop-kicking, as long as I could see the goal posts. It was hard work, and it required a lot of patience; but I was rewarded by dis- tance and accuracy in my kicking. There is a‘general impression abroad that the total amount of money in- vested by any one subscriber in the Victory Loan, 1919, will be subject to taxation. This impression is erron- eous. It will be the interest from the investment that will be taxed, not the principal invested. . _ FEW' BOND BUYERS It is Interest that will be Taxcd- not the Principal As a matter of fact very few invest- ors in the new loan will bebrought within the scope of the Income Wat' Act by reason of investments in Vic- tory Bonds. With small estates and investors the law does not become ef- fective under $2000 in the case of married persons or persons with de- pendents, and $1000 in the. case of married persons without dependents. Municipality and fraternal societies will not be subject to taxation in their investments in the_loan at all. The interest from the ponds will not be more taxable than ordinary income, subject to the general law of the land. (By Geo. Walsh) AFFECTED BY TAX MONEY IS NEEDED A large portion of the proceeds from the Nelson Day Campaign to raise half a million dollars will be devoted by the Navy League ot Canada to the purpose of the Naval Brigades. These brigades have been established in the principal cities of the Domin- ion for the training of Canadian boys for service on the sea. Navy League's Nelson Day Campaign is to Promote Great Object Canada's future is bound up in its export trade and depends much upon merchant marine. It is vitally ne- cessary that the Dominion should pro- vide qualified sailors. The Navy" League of Canada is giving the young- er generation of Canadians the op- portunity for free training in seaman- ship, and business men are agreed that the value of this work over es- timated. In addition to the demands of the Naval Brigades the Navy League has to finance its sailors' homes and insti- tutes in Canadian ports. All the moth ey raised through the Nelson Day campaign will be spent in Canada. The success of the Boys' Naval Bri- gades hangs on the generosity of pub- lic support. It is important to every Canadian that this movement should not be handicapped by lack of funds. Public spirited citizens are, called up- on for a generous response to the Na- vy League appeal through the Nelson Day Campaign.
