SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC-How Je sus faced his task. I. Introduction (vv.12,13). Mark de votes little or no attention to the early incidents of the life of Jesus, and only suggests the events immediately fol lowing his baptism. Indeed, for the record of the Temptation and the Ser mon on the Mount, we have to look to the other Gospel writers. In teach ing the lesson we must not, however, overlook making some reference to these two outstanding events in the life of our Lord. i. John the Baptizer (vv. 14, 15). This section not only disposes of John as having been put into prison, but immediately plunges Jesus into his public ministry. Jesus' entry into Galilee was a part of his connection with John, inasmuch as he withdrew himself to that place (See John 4:1-3), and made Capernaum his headquar ters (Matt. 4:18). The message here recorded as proclaimed by Jesus was the identical summons which John the Baptizer had uttered. Jesus speaks of this new kingdom as beirg already come, referring, of course, to his own person and ministry, but in its actual establishment it was not really "at hand" until he shed his blood upon the cross and the Holy Spirit descended on the day of Pentecost, when there was opened the fountain for sin and un cleanliness for the world at large. iii. His Helpers Called. (vv. 16-29). In this record, we have the call of four of his helpers: Simon, Andrew his brother, James and John his brother, the latter being the sons of Zebedee. Luke tells us (5:3) that Jesus was teaching. Those called were certainly at work and God al ways issues his call to those whose time and effort are being occupied, even though perhaps for selfish pur poses. There is no place for an idler in the spiritual kingdom. This call was to "come ye after me" (v. 17), the purpose being that they might be come "fishers of men." Notice he be gan upon the common, familiar ground of fishing, something mutually and thoroughly understood, an(1 led them from that to a spiritual truth. In this we see a good pedagogical hint and a wise suggestion to. the preacher and teacher, viz., that we must begin to teach our lessons through the medium of past experience and of present in terests. Simon (Luke 5:5) appears to have been a doubter wyhen Jesums called him. Nevertheless, he was will ing to try Christ at least once, and so at his word, he let down the net. The evidence of obedience is found in.verse 19, andl Matthew (4 :8) also Luke (5: 11) tells us that when they left their nets. "they left all." IV. His Helpers Trained (vv. 21, 22). The result of this call was (see v. 21) that as they wvent into the city they enteredl into the synagogue, wvhere Jesus taught them. The infer ence, of course, -lia. plain. Whenever God calls a man into his kingdom, he begins at once to teach him the du ties and responsibilities of the king dom. Notice that in becoming fishers of men, then began close at home. Brother sought brother. This was not the first time that Jesus had called these brothers. (See John 1:40, 41). In the call, as accorded by St. John. we are led to believe that John (the unmentioned disciple) first sought an interview with Christ. The question of harmonizing the. various calls which Jesus gave to his disciples is an In teresting one and one which has given rise to a good deal of discussion, The one recorded in the first chapter of John occurred in Judea; this one oc curred in Gallee. As to whether this is the one recorded in the fifth chap ter of Luke, there seems to be a gen eral opinion that it is not the same, though we can with profit compare the twvo cnlhings in teaching this les son. The probabilities are that there were three calls: First, the one re corded in John 1 :35:42; second, that one recorded in Matthew 4:18 :22; and the third and last was that which oc curred just before their appointment to become apostles, the one recorded in Luke five. Conclusion. When Jesus faced his great task, he did not face it alone, le had first of all the approval of God the Fiather. He also had the annoint ing of God the Holy Spirit, and be called in the co-operation and help of human agents. Jesus met his tempta tion and his tasks not in his own strength, but in the strength of the Spirit of God. At the same time be ing God, he called to his side those who in turn were to become fishers of men, leaders of others. His call to these disciples was three-fold; (a), to discipleship, (h), to fellowship, (Phil. 8:10); and (c), to service. Interesting Coat Dress Ti it The lady in the picture has on one of those coats (or is it a dress?) which leaves us in doubt as to its identity. "Will you remove your coat?" might bring the answer: "I cannot, this is also my dress,," without surprising anyone. The coat-dress proved a con venience to the tourist who wished to travel light, especially when designed to allow an extra undergarment upon need of warmth, and a coat-dress like that pictured is a thing of beauty and distinction. If you are looking for a garment versatile enough to play this double role, be assured you will not find any thing handsomer than the model shown here. It is of plain, smooth-faced cloth, and will appeal to good taste if we imagine it in gray or tan, or in darker colors. It is lifted into the ranks of the exceptional by its decora tion. This is a bordered scroll in which cable cord, covered with cloth like that in the dress, is used instead of braid. The large covered cord, wound with a small silk cord in a darker shade of its own color. The coat is simple in design with straight. Milinry Bird Hats for winter resort wvear', along with other apparel for tourists that journey southward, are all ready for the companies of women that will loon turn their backs upon the lands of snow. A glimpse of them is allur ing enough to fix a wavering purpose and determine those who may to fol low them to the ends of the earth ; that is to those ends that pro ject themselves into the Gulf of Mex ico, or the South Atlantic, or the Pa cific in California. Wherever they go they must vie with the best efforts of millinery designers. Many of the models prepared for tourists are not so distinctly summer like as to bar them from wyear in the north, but the greater number belong only in lands of th'e sun. At the top of the group pictured, there is a fine turban of black sipper straw, with crown-top of black satin. It is a typi cal southern tourist model, beautifully shaped and simply trimmed. Its broad spread of black, glossy wings suggests flight in a happy course-southward. The black hat at the left, of ma. lines and panne velvet, bows to edict for simplicity in millinery and makes us marvel at the style and beauty of its lines. It belongs to no section or climate, being an adaptable hat for afternoon wear anywhere; and dress hats of this kind now extend their usefulness to evening wear also. It could hardly be simpler, with its fin ishing touch merely a pin that cannot even be classed as "fancy." Its head is a long coil of panne velvet, and that is all there is of trimming, and no one wh<, sees the model wishes for more.
