SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
BY DR.. MARION McH. HULL
For Sept. 9.-Mdrk

Mark s, under the guidance of the
Holy Ghost. The Spirit brought to
Peters remembrance the things of
Christ, and guided Mark in record
ing them.
The story differs from the others
in these respects-sometimas he eX-
plains terms which Romans would
not otherwise understand. The
things that interested Romans
would be manifestations of power,
and thus we find more miracles than
para bles, and only two quotations
from the Old Testament except
where Mark is reporting the words
of Jesus as He quotes from the Old
; Testament. Fa pitches right into
the active ministry of Jesus, and
presents Him as an indefatigable
Worke", but a Worker who was
also a Teacher. He is often inn
pressed with the crowds that follow
Jesus. and the multitude that
presses about Him. He has a great
many very graphic details as he de-
scribes incidents which other eVang
elists also told about.
There are certain details as to
time OBS, 81. 11I9,. 1922 as to
names Q29, Sc, 1873, 15:2D, as to
numbers Sis, 60, and as to places.
2:13, SIS. 7:31, 12:41, 1873, 1868, and
1880 which are peculiar to Mark.
OF course the servants word
''strightway" sometimes translated
Immediately is characteristic OF
Mark. 1t occurs AZ times in this
short writing. 1t is a bit of a word
that you would do well to learn
by heart. Think this through as
you read Marks use of it.
There is no genealogy of Christ
In Mark; we never ask for the pedi-
gree of a servant, what we want to
know is can they do the work we'll
and will they do it straightway, Civ
ing implicit and immediate obeai-
ence. The ending is very abrupt
some think that the verses 800 are
an appendix. The servants work
is done and we are not concerned
about what becomes OF aim. Isaiah
spoke of the Coming One as the
Servant Of Jehovah and also as the
Reigning, King. Matthew tells
about the King; Mark about the
Servant.
And the significant thing about
Marks story is that it is of the Ser
want who never failed. Perhaps the
fact that Mark was a, servant who
did fail and then made good, made
him a better cnronicler OF the Ser
want who never failed.
And here is the good news that
he brings to you, who have failed.
Gods grace is wonderful. He is
waiting to forgive you, to forget the
past, and by His Spirit within you
to enable you to live the life of Him
who gave Himself for you that you
might live.

QIo23 REPUBuc STkp
THE NEW WITCHCRAFT


Thou shalt not suffer a witch to
live.-Ex. 22:1S.
This was the text by which our
forefathers in England and New
England foolishly tried to justify the
persecution and killing of supposed
witches in the 18th and 18th CEN
turtles.
The latest execution of this kind
in Great Britain was in 1922.
But Witchcraft, the practice of
@orcery, magic, and necromancy,
was not thereby suppressed.
1t has existed in every age known
to man; and in our own it seems to
be flourishing with cXuberance.
It's name is changed, but not its
nature.
In every city you may see the
signs of the practitioners Of the
ancient profession.
They. call themselves clairvoy-
ants, psychic mediums. telepaths
soul-ahalysts, Metaphysical seers
and even psychologists-as if their
craft were real science and not a
black art.
l do not include here those people
who are earnestly and reverently
seeking and testing evidence of ex.
istence after death. I include those
who for pay profess to reveal the
future, foretell destiny, discover
hidden secrets, and call up departed
spirits.
These are the new witches.
The old command, Thou shalt not
suffer them to live, is out of date.
The new command should be,
Thou shalt not help them to make
living.
1 think that would put the Witch
of Endor out of business.

Our inability to learn from eX-
perience is at the bottom of the di
vorce question. When a young, un-
dispicllned man and woman, who
come of different blood, and who
have been brought up in a different
environment and have different
ideals, get married, it is inevitable
that they should have many clashes
and disagreements. If, however,
they had sense enough to learn
from experience, they would never
have q disag reement on any subject

Christian Homes In India? The
Christian pastor of a Non Christian
town, Rath, India, and the annual re-
port of work accomplished in India,
which was very gratifying. Perhaps
the most significant sign of PROCESS
is in the large number of Christian
boys and girls being sent up for some
form of higher education and train
ing. The number of Missionaries on
the field is sixty-six, with eighteen on
furlough, making a total of eighty
four. The total staff of Christian Co.
workers in the regular departments
of work is 306. Considerable disap-
pointment was felt because of the
absence of Mrs. Van Dolah who was
to talk on the early work done in
India, and of her personal acquaint-
ance with some of the pioneer work
ers in that field. A special "India's
Sunset Song" was sung very sweetly
by Miss Geraldine Sparks. Mrs. Mar
tin gave a brief history of the COM
poser of this song-Miss Adelaide
frost, who for many years labored
as missionary in India and who now
lives in Los Angeles, California. Fol
lowing the program pleasant social
hour was spent during which time
the hostess served dainty refresh
ments.

Mrs. M. G. Schuman of Marshall
was the chief speaker at the meet
ing of the Home Missionary Society
of the Methodist Church last Wednes-
day afternoon. The meeting was well
attended and very pleasant and pro-
fitable session held with Mrs. A. j.
White, the president, presiding. Mrs.
Schuman who is Corresponding Sec
rotary of the Marshall District Home
Missionary Societies has a wealth of
information relative to work in the
home missionary field and the first
part of her talk was on the ideals
and methods of home missionary So
cieties. She also gave an interesting
report of several phases of the recent
conference at Hamline. Mrs. Lillian
Hall gave report on DR.. NewhalFs
address at the Hamline conference.

ing little pageant illustrative of Junior

accompanying her, and several ap-
propriate hymns were sung during the
devotional period which was in charge
of Mrs. G. B. Root. Following the
program salad, sandwiches, cake and
coffee were served by the refreshment

Thank Offering meeting and the am
cunt received was approximately forty
dollars.
