WHAT MANNER OF MAN is THIS?
A SUNDAY SERMON.


Christ when he taught multitudes by the lnland
sea Of Galilee with little boat for pulpit ana
the audience crowdng the seashore. Afterwards
exhausted BY his labors the Master slept III lile
boat and his disciples sought to cross with nm 20
the other side Mark goes on to tell "hae ilap-
nened as follows "And there arose great storm
of wind and the waves beat into the snip So lila0
it was now full And He was ~ the nlnoef par
of the ship asleep on a pillow Ana they a"ehe
him, and say unto him, Master, carest tnou ~
that we perish? And he arose and rebuked tne
wind and said unto the sea, Peace be still Ena
the wind ceased and there was great caihl. anu
he said unto them, Why are We SO fear1ul: floN
ie i that ve have no faith? And they feared
exceedingly and said one to another, Wha1 flal'-
ner of man is this, that even the Wlnd anu 1ise
sea obev him?' And if even his disciples nag ~
faith in the Master when his words or MS acts
went outside of the ordinary experience 'heS
had in their limited vision, it was even more 80
with his enemies the Scribes and Pharlsees. lhey
were continually asking What manner OF man
i tbisoo and continually answering their query
ont of the smallness Of their nature ana the
weakness Of their spiritual vision. They formed
4 sort Of Society Of Kickers,' and nothing the
ecrihes and Pharisees remind Us strongly OF the
kicking senator's who view with alarm aiia mug
nation everything that Noodro" WILSON uoes,

hetween-the-eyes partisan senator Inc ocfloes
and Pharisees accused the Master of Vloiatlng
the Jewish law by doing secular work on the SAD

make king Of himself and consplrlng against
the power of Rome as well as the JeWlsh fehgloh
and state They said he consorted with pup
Ecans and sinners and spoke kindly 70 errlng

neople heard him gladly, we are told
IF the savior Of mankind was to come to earth
and advocate league of nations, would oppose
Il " cried Senator Borah of Idaho, the other day
in the senate, while Lodge OF Massachusetts ana
Johnson of California, and Harding ot ONO ana
other prominent members OF the Amalgamaled
Society Of Senatorial kickers, we doubt not
hreathed deep amen in their hearts. we nave
nr doIht that Senator Borah rather recklessly
smoke the truth and if he had lived IN Judea
nineteen hundred years ago his voice would nave
ed the crowd in crying Cruelty him. Cruelty
him. But the fact that the senator from ldaho
tells the citizens Of the United States that ne
would not listen tO the Son Of God himself II nc
came to earth second time proposing and advls-
inq tho formation Of league Of nations IN order
TO eliminate war is no sign that the people OF the
I~n;+ad Gta+es feel that WaV about It'll In tact II
is no sign that the people Of Idaho feel that way
about I'LL At the last election they eliminated
Senator Borah's republican associate IN the sen
ate and sent democrat who will support Wood
row Wilson's league Of nations to take his place
The blasphemous announcement OF the senior
senator from Idaho that he would oppose tht
Savior himself if he came advocating league
of nations will not help him to return 70 the
senate from Idaho in our opinion. and it does no
ronresent public opinion in that state or have thf
anproval of the majority Of its citizens II WY
know the facts, as We think we DO
The fact seems To be that the tremendous sue
ross Of the president abroad in bringing tn
statesmen and peoples Of Europe to his view o
things seems to have driven the little men Of tn
senate who have been abusing and sanderln}
him with view to undermining his infuenc
abroad to the verge Of insanity. They are s.
furious at being shown UP in their puny statur
before j jeering world BY the presidents powe
"a still the storms of political strife at the Pari
neace conference that they have lost their reaso
and are ready to explode into bIasphemy, lik
Senator Borah, in order To give vent to thel
nent-up feelings Of rage and modification.
