by REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON,

Christ commenced His campaign in
Galilee by making the prosperous COM
mercia1 city of Capernaum His head
quarters. Jesus brought to this impor-
tant Roman center the four men who
had responded to His invitation to
learn from Him the greatest business
Of the age. "the taking of men alive"
for God. With them as the first stu
dents to be matriculated in His COL
lege of apostles. the Lord Jesus opened
up the training Of the twelve by wor-
Shipping In the famous synagogue,
possibly the one that had been donated
by the Roman centurian. upon the
Sabbath day. He inaugurated the ed
ucation Of men through whom He was
planning to revolutionize society by
utilizing the synagogue vhich was the
center of Jewish religious life away
of freedom and democracy.
The informal service of the syna-
gogue furnished Jesus the opportunity
to reach the people and give His stu
dents the fundamental principles OF
homiletics by teaching them by pre-
cept and example how to master men.
His methods were full of suggestions
to His students. as they have been
since to all teachers and preachers who
have gone to the Master for fnspira
ton and instruction. The theme of His
sermon was probably the kingdom of
God. His text may have been the same
one He used at Nazareth. when the
people rejected Him. The positive note
OF authority differed radically from
that of the customary traditional meth
