Sanity Il Issue
The fate Of the 'Fox" hangs

which forms the border between
sanity and insanity and yet iif-

By his plea Of "not guilty BY

LaUaL Concert
BY CHARLES GARRTSON


Jeanne Lavals best group of songs
presented at the Indianapolis Matt
nee Musicale at the Masonic Temple
yesterday was her French group
Miss Laval is a contralto with as
brilliant a tone as I have heard.
An Aria, 'Du Christ avec ardeur"
from La Mort de Jeanne dare" by
Herman Bemberg, had the qualities
that gave this woman her best op-
portunities. 1t was heavy, but han
died with great ease and a marvel
Gus tone quality.
In this group were three old
French Canadian songs that were
of the light and airy kind. My
knowledge of French is rather slight,
but the enunciation of Miss Laval
was perfect enough to enable me to
follow her songs with more ease
than I had thought possible.
"Over the Steppes," which was the
first number Of her group in Eng
lish, gave Miss Laval opportunity to
show what low tones she was cap
able of. And l want to say that
she was far from disappointing.
The program consisted of four
groups in italian, German, French,
and English. In every case Mis-
Laval started her group with the
heaviest number and finished with
something light. 1t was a good con-
cert.

aspect which we have usually asso-
ciated with the environment Of the
ministry Of Jesus.
The name and fame of Jesus, how
ever, are all the more remarkable
inasmuch as He carefully and per-
Sistently sought to avoid all the
methods and practices which are
used to promote publicity.
A leading advertising expert in
America, who has written a popular
book on the life of Jesus, empha-
sizes the advertising associated with
His ministry; but it is worth while
to point out that in the meet specific
way Jesus sought to avoid the very
things that teacher or prophet in
the modern world, seeking popular
ity and publicity, would the most
studiouSly strive to develop.
Here in our lesson we are told
that Jesus charged those who
were healed that they should not
make him known" Again and again
just at what seemed the very eli
max of His sensational place in the
minds of the people He avoided the
crowd and went off to the mountain
or the desert. r.
His Reasons?
Why was Jesus so anxious to
avoid this undue publicity of a sort
that SO many other people who seek
to be influential have been so
anxious to secure? Apparently
there we're two reasons: First, Jesus
wished the supreme emphasis to be
upon His teaching and upon the
spiritual truth He came to impart
rather than upon Himself; and
secondly, He was anxious that the
emphasis upon all that he supreme
ly representa- din His mission and in
His teaching should not be mis-
placed. He coveted not the adulation
of the multitudes for Himself as a
wonderworker, but the humble quest

of the salvation that He had come to
bring.
! Hence it was that Jesus sought to
avoid too much emphasis upon the
mighty works or upon the material
aspect Of His ministry. When people
came seeking signs and wonders He
Immediately suggested to them that
the truth that He had to give was
the supreme sign.
I have heard ministers who have
occupied large place in the public
mind say that they did not care
what the newspapers said about
them as long as they said some
thing. I have known men who did
not care how seriously their SER
mons were misrepresented in news
paper reports as long as fair
amount of space was given to them.
All that would have been thor
oughly repugnant to Jesus as it is
thoroughly repugnant to every min
lister who is profoundly honest and
whose concern is far more for &C
curacy in the statement of trl&&,.
and for soundly spiritual influence,
than for any mere ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of his own position or the external
success" of his church.
The Nuisance of Noise
We might all learn profoundly
along this line from the methods
of Jesus, both from His example in
doing good and his zeal for doing
good unostentatiously. Even good
works are sometimes marred by the
blare and flourish Of trumpets with
which they are accomplished, but all
truly great saints have had in their
lives an element Of spiritual re-
Straint.
There are things that are infiu-
entail because of an intense sacred
ness that keeps them from gross and
calculated publicity. What a diff
ferent world it would be if all name
and fame we're established upon the
sound and holy basis upon which
the name and fame of Jesus have
been built through nineteen centur-
les into the fabric of hupan life.

TIME Gospels deal with a very
Il short period in the life of Jesus.
We have the story of His baby
hood, then a glimpse Of His boy
hood as He is found discoursing
With the doctors in Jerusalem, and
one brief reference to His normal
growth as He increases in wisdom,
in stature. and in favor with God
and man.
Then there is lapse of the rec
ord until He nears His thirties,
when suddenly we have the story
of the beginning of His distinctive
ministry.
The record would suggest that
the name and fame of Jesus were
established with great rapidity.
That He could not have been
thought of as remarkable prior to
the beginning of His ministry would
seem to be implied in the great sur
prise with which those whom He
first addressed listened to his teach
ings. They were amazed at His
wisdom and wondered whence He
could have had the knowledge as
they had thought of Him only as
carpenter.
Story Spreads
Along with this fame of His teach
ings there spread the story of His
wonderful works. When one thinks
Of all that can happen in a modern
city in the sudden emergence Of
someone into fame, one can begin
to appreciate the nature and extent
Of the sensation that the ministry
of Jesus caused in Galilee and
Judea, which were small provinces
and so thickly populated that they
approached more the urban condi-
tons of modern times than the rural
