Lesson for January 16
BEGINNING A LIFE OF SERVICE
LESSON TEXT Mark 1:14-28.
GOLDEN TEXT The time is fulfilled, and
the kingdom of God Is at hand: repent ye,
and believe the gospel. Mark 1:15.
PRIMARY TOPIC Jesus' First Helper.
JUNIOR TOPIC Why the Fishermen Fol
lowed Jesus.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC
Serving Now.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
Adjusting Life to Service.
The public ministry of our Lord
was not begun with any great fan
fare of publicity. Leaving Judea
where the entrenched forces of
formal religion had joined the
forces of sin and degradation in op
position to him, and which had
brought about the imprisonment of
John, our Lord appears in his home
country, Galilee.
I. Prea chins the Gospel (vv. 14,
15, 21, 22).
His first activity is worthy of
careful note, for it is not exactly
what one might expect in this Gos
pel of Mark, which wc have already
characterized as the Gospel of
mighty deeds rather than of words.
Jesus came to work miracles, and
he did work them, and continues to
do the miraculous oven in our day.
It is therefore sisfoant that his
first recorccd work was that of
preaching, his second that of calling
and preparing fellow workers, and
last of all the miraculous healing
of the demoniac.
From a human viewpoint one
would think that the opposite order
-would prevail. First let the Mas
ter do some mighty miracle to catch
the attention of the people, then or
ganize a great "party," and then
preach. Much of the so-called evan
gelistic effort in our day follows that
human formula and fails of lasting
results. Observe the man who mag
nifies preaching and gives the Word
of God pre-eminence, and you will
see real spiritual accomplishments.
Jesus preached faith and repent
ance, or perhaps one should say
repentance and faith (v. 15). They
go together in our Lord's preaching.
Let us follow his example.
We read in verse 2 that the hear
ers were nr'onished because he
spoke with authority. They had been
accustomed to hearing the law
yers dispiit" on the basis of the
authority of the law, now the law
giver himself stood in their midst.
He did not set aside the law, but he
gave it an interpretation and direc
tion which surprised them.
II. Calling Disciples (vv. 16-20).
The orderly development of any
work calls for the choosing and
training of associates. Moody is
said to have observed that "it is a
greater thing to put ten men to
work than it is to do ten men's
work." Our Lord was no mere hu
man leader, but he desired and
used fellow-workers and he commit
ted to them the carrying on of his
work after he departed.
God still calls men into his serv
ice. Would that grace might be
given to each one to whom such a
call may come to respond "straight
way," as did the disciples. The
writer has just read the letter of a
heart-broken man who has refused
to answer God's call for four long
years, and now comes with a broken
body which may hinder his useful
ness for life. Such tragedies may
be averted by prompt and willing
obedience.
III. Healing the Demoniac Cvv.
23-28).
Three things stand out in this
fury. The first is that the Son of
God has power over the demons of
Satan. Any effort to "fight the Dev
il" in our own power is foredoomed
to failure. But in the name of Jesus
Christ we may bid him depart from
us. Thank God, it works!
The other thought is also of vital
import. The demons recognized
Jesus, they knew that he was "the
Holy One of God" (v. 24), and they
bore public testimony of that fact.
And yet they were demons, the ene
mies of God. Saving faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ is more than a
knowledge of his claims, a pious
repetition of his name even though
it be done in public. Let us mr.'-e
sure that we have a living faith jn
the Son of God.
Our final observation is that our
Lord did not permit the demons to
testify concerning him. Christ end
his church do not need the flattering
words or the financial support of
unbelievers. Every time we accept
them we weaken our testimony and
make ourselves ridiculous before
the world. If unbelievers think well
of Christ let them show their sin
cerity by seeking him as Saviour
and Lord. Then both they and their
gifts will be acceptable and to his
glory.

Brown: "But if we stick by the
program, production will be kept in
line with demand, prices will be at a
fair level, and we will have a chance
to take care of our land like we
ought to."
Smith: "That's what we've been
needing for years. We'd be a lot
better eff today if this program had
been started a long time ago."
SMITH & BROWN
Physical Handicaps
The failure to overcome our phys
ical handicaps is only one of many
indications that few of us ever dis
cover ourselves.
Seeing Ourselves
We see time's furrows on anoth
er's brow; how few themselves, in
that just mirror, see! Young.
(Editor's note: This is the fifth
a series of articles in which two
farmers discuss the agricultural
conservation program.)
John Brown: "Under the program
they don't want you to go over your
soil-depleting goal, but they do want
you to plant all the acreage of soil
depleting crops that are allowed in
your goal."
Bill Smith: "Why?"
Brown: "If we don't plant enough
cotton, tobacco, corn, wheat and the
like, there won't be enough to sup
pi;, the demand. That will make
pikes go up too high.
" That will be h?vd on the con
sumer, and it will mean that this
countt y wil have to .spend money to
buy agricultural comodities fro;u
other countries.
"In other words, the United States
wil be seeding money abroad to buy
crops that we farmers here should
be growing and selling."
Smith : "You're right. I haJn't
thought about that. We don't want
to go hungry here, and we want to
keep our money at home."
Brown: "And if we grow too much
we will be wasting a lot of hard
work, and wasting our land too. But
if we don't want to wear out our
soil growing a lot of stuff nobody
will buy at a decent price."
Smith: "I've had enough of that.
Look what I've done to my land. It's
plumb worn out in places. And I
haven't made a decent living in

Stuff celery with chopped ham
mixed with relish salad dressing.
To prevent peeled apples turning
dark while standing, cover them
with salt water.
Tightly box candies and confec
tions. Sprinkle nuts, candied fruit
peels and stuffed dates in corners
of box.
Rub the rope in window cords
once or twice a year with well-oiled
cloth. This preserves cord and al
lows window to slip up and down
more easily.
If boiled frosting does not thicken,
place in a bowl in a basin of hot
water and allow water to boil
around the bowl for five minutes,
stirring constantly.
When poinsettia leaves start to
turn yellow, it is probably be
cause they are in a room where the
temperature is below 70 to 80 de
grees and plant has become chilled.
Set pot in a pan of water of room
temperature until soil and plant aro
warmed.

Light Measuring Unit
A parsec is the unit of meas
urement, like an inch or a yard,
which denotes space in terms of
"light years." A parsec is equal
to three and one-quarter light
years. Light travels 186,000
miles per second. Therefore the
distance of one parsec from
us would equal 186,000 X 60 X 60
X 24 X 365 X 3'4 miles.
