Sunday School Lesson

in elaborate arguments and as
surances. What he does is to SET
forth the life and let it speak Tor
itself: and this he does with great
simplicity and directness.
ST. Marks Gospel is nara
tive of action. He brings us right
on the scene, and as much as
anyone could do through writing
he makes everything happen right
before our eyes. He sets the man
Christ Jesus before us in all the
strength and beauty of His earthly
life and teaching, and he persuadess
us concerning the divine life OF
the Master, by what He is, and
not just by what Mark says about
Him.
Is not that the ideal way to know
the Master and feel His power
not by hearsay, not by what 9th
ers say about Him, but by dis
covering Him for ourselves? Here
in the beginning of the story, fol-
lowing the baptism OF Jesus IS
the simple record u LoW JESUS
began to preach and OF what He
said. Then follows the evidence
of the effect of His message upon
the fishermen who left their nets
to follow Him-the first evidence
of the amazing drawing power OF
the Master.
Here, too, we come upon word
that almost marks the character
of Marks Gospel. It is the word
''straightway," and it is an inter-
esting project to count the num-
Der of times that Mark uses the
word in the Gospel. It is indica-
tive of the inmediacy of every
thing he tells. Nothing is happen
ing at second hand; we are right
on the scene. Was there ever a
more wonderful narrative than the
is chapters of this Book of Mark?
What privilege to study it! And
what an experience if we come
to know and see Jesus as Mark
| knew Him and saw Him!

Text: Mark 1:1-22

The lessons for the first quarter
of the New Year consist of studies
in the Gospel of Mark, under the
dominant theme of that Gospel,
the Gospel of the Son of God.
The Gospel of Mark is well
adapted for such study, though
it is not the best Gospel for a
study of the entire life of Christ.
For that we need all four Cos
pels, for each supplies something
that the others leave out, and each
has it's distinctive quality.
The Gospel Of Mark begins with
John the Baptist and his work OF
preparation for the coming and
ministry of Jesus. From that we
come at once into the adult min
istry of the Master, without a
word concerning His miraculous
birth, and the wonderful story of
His babyhood and childhood. There
is no picture of Jesus in the Tenn
pie, and no record of how He grew
up in the normal life of boy,
increasing in wisdom and in stat
ure and in favor with God and
man."
The Gospel of Mark was prob
ably the first of our Gospels to
be written, and these things were
undoubtedly so well known among
those for whom Mark wrote that
he felt it unnecessary to go into
matters which Luke, for instance,
felt it necessary to relate in detail
at a later time.
Marks explicit purpose was to
set forth the fact of the divine
life of the Son of God, as mani
fest in the earthly life of Jesus
of Nazareth, and his method was
to do this by portraying that life
in all the wierdness of mas
ter's own acts and words. He does
not philosophize, as does the Cos
pei of John. He does not engage

active buying, packers were I'M
able to absorb the fresh supply OF
hogs on hand today, and 1000
head remained unsold at the end
of the session. Cattle supplies
were well cleared, with the best
choice lambs sold steady at the
steers bringing $3.50. Good to
top of $3.50.
Good and choice hogs weigh
ing 200 to 300 pounds held within
the support price of $13.75, but
lighter weights showed gains up
to Is cents. In view of the posi-
bility that marketings next week
might be heavier than could be
readily processed, the VIA urged
farmers to withhold shipments un-
til they are assured of market
for their hogs.
The cattle market was active,
with she stock and weighty bulls
in broadest demand. Nothing choice
was included in the 700 arrivals.
Shippers took the choice lambs
at top price, but lower grades
were dull to Is cents off.

Many long and tedious hours spent in arguments this subject between the Management and the Union Executive Committee No settlement could be arrived at that the Tesettg work had previously been done by outside contractors before negotiations for the contract and this work had not been set up listed in the con- tract wage rates that went before the WLB Shpbudng Commission, for approval.
 The AFL produced evidence of Tlesetters rates both from other shpyards and in Civil Service Yards where the wage rates nOtOriOusy low. In the comparison the all time low in Tesetters wage rates established by the Electric Boat Company when they placed Tlesetters in the classification painters.
 With additional information this subject the Man agemen always anxious to establish good labor relations agreed inasmuch the Tlesetting work being done with B. personnel that they would agree at this time to 1Oc an hour premium increase for Tilesetters.
 The 10 cents hour increase will be made retroactive to June 22 1914.
 This is another victory for the AFL and illustrates just what be done and is being done for the workers when just and equitable relations exist between labor and agement
