sunday school lesson january 19 lesson iii j begins his ministry matthew 4 1725 golden text repent for the king dom of heaven is ot hand mar thew 4 17 analysis l the call of the first piscifle 1722 ji the becinninc of hie mission 2325 introduction in order to follow the movements cf jesus after the temptation we nust turn to the first ehaptvr of john evident he did not return at once irto galilee and when he did como back he did not go to nazareth but went to capernaum on tho north side of the lake of galilee which now becomes his headquarter i the call of the first 1722 discifle v 17 this cal of the disciples a matter of grvat significance there are four accounts of this call in the gospels and all agree in showing that this was one of tlva list things to which jesus gave his attention the evidence for this diseipleship is very fall ho felt uk need of having help ers who would com to know him per sonally who could ern of tho true nature of his teaching and to whom ho could entrust the future of his kingdom it is only i the case of great men that wo find disciples ordinary peopk- do not have followers jesus gavo a great dial of his time to the training of the band f intimate followers ho took them with him wherever he went and acted like teacher to them the four here men tioned belonged to the odinary folk thoy were fishermen who earned their living with physical tal they were resourceful and courageous and the icsult justified the choice of jesus we may be astonished that he did not call men of more influence vho had wealth and fame but perhaps this class was not willing to come after jesus and only a few rich men joined his cause v 19 jesus does not shrink from asking these men to give up their calling in fact there was no sacrifice that jesus would noi ask his disciples to make- if necessary he demanded of all those who were to follow him that they should take up heir cross and follow jesus did not expect them to do this with any recompense for he held out to them a much finer kind of life than that which they were giving up they were to be fishers of men and were therefore to be concerned with a much nobler and more interesting duty v 20 tho response is immediate there seems to be a capacity for sacri fice in our nature which is one of our jioblest qualities every age tells us of the many men and women who have surrendered wealth and comfort to follow the call of jesus into the most lemote and difficult work v 21 these four men formed the first group of the twelve and they continued to have the first place in the development of the church v 22 perhaps we can understand the immediate acceptance better if we read john 1 33 ii the beginning of the mission 2325 learner preaching was more formal and appealed more to the mind end emotions of the hearers the subject of the preacher is given here as the gospel or good news of the kingdom and this introduces one of the common words of the new testament the term kingdom of heaven or tho kingdom of god occurs very frequently in the four gos pels though it is found very seldom in the rest of the new testament it occurs m the old testament and means the sovereignty or rule of god jesos takes a term that was known to tho people of his time and gradually reads new meaning irto it v 24 it was no wonder that the fame of this preacher spread quickly through the land especially when we think of these marvelous cures which he wrought on the sick we should notice in this verse the great variety cf his miracles and reccgnie the fact that tho healing of tho sick was a distinctive part of the work of jesus in this the church has tried to follow his example in the founding of hospi tals and in all the efforts to care for the necessities of the body v 23 this vere shows the extent of his mission including not only galilee but the lands that lay both south and east one ceremony the boys all enjoyed called menace to all eskimos a french view of stresemann i wo must not fail to grasp the prin- 111- n wkif c clples and sentiments that determin v t el herr stresemann in adopting the attitude he assumed in leading ger many along the path she has followed for the past five years the chief diplomat in germany had nothing of tho mystic about him on tho con trary ho was a complete realist in the full meaning of the word and tached himself only to immediate possibilities being german in heart mind and soul he had no other thought than german interests in spite of certain general formulas that he loved to repeat his actions lacked that generous enthusiasm for a great idea that characterizes the efforts of such a man as briand in spite of his evolutions stresemann remained absolutely himself hut he did have the merit though he was a former imperialist

verse giving an outline of the work of jesus we picture the active movements of jesus and his disciples as they go from place to place in galilee they go first to the town near the lake of galilee then they go to the village in tho interior and afterwards make longer trips always returning to capernaum in each village there was a synagogue this was the meeting place of the jews and it was built in somo conspicuous place on the hill top -51- beside a river it was the most important building of the village like the church today in some countries hero services were held every sab- hath and also on two weekday there was fit reading of tho old testament and exposition the syna gogue was also a school for the chil dren where they learned 1 i read and write and to know the law it was natural that jesus should go first to these places of religious influ ence and he never neglected tho ser vices in these places we are told in iuke ch 4 of the time when he went lo tho synagogue in nazareth where he had been brought up but we have no account of a full sermon preached in tho synagogue most of the ser mons reported were delivered out-of- doors his work is divided into teaching and preaching tho first of these was more informal and would include an swer and question and repetition jesus made much of teaching am was called the teacher while his fol lowers were caller disciples or

ance said j a paulbus former pre sident of the canadian fisheries as sociation and one o the leading wholesale ssb merchants of montreal when asked what he considered to be the major problems of the fisheries of eastern canada canadas oyster production 5s hardly onefourth what it was years ago and the quality of canadian oys ters we get in this market grows less satisfactory mr paulhus added of course it has been said before even before the war that the industry was declining and threatened with ruin some efforts have been made to save it by replanting some beds and en forcing closer restrictions on fishing but these have not been successful of occupation i the production grows less andnthe hown leaving product sent to this market in the last few years have not helped the reputation of the canadian oyster ouiy the superior reputation of the canadian oyster iuherited from the j past has kept it on the market at all and the producers apparently dont think their business is worth keeping alive as they send all sizes of shell oysters in the same barrel and the dealer never knows just what he is getting u s oyster producers the american oyster producers aro taking possession of this market and going the right way about it if you went into a leading hotel in montreal today 1 doubt if vou could get a canauian oyster tho hotel trade an important trade has been lost to the canadian oysters because when the chefs order american oys ters they know just what they are getting americans market practice the americans grade their oysters carefully and when you order a bar rel of a certain standard you know there will be so many dozen oysters in it all of uniform sze some firms sell oysters under special brands one firm has a machine which puts its trade mark on every oyster it sells of a certain grade others bore a hole through the shells of every oyster and attach a tag that certifies to its grade and quality the dealer and the purchaser at retail has something to go on and is more and more buy ing american osters instead ot tak ing a chance on a barrel of canadian oysters and why not the average consumer nowadays seldom tastes a succulent canadian oyster and few- ask for them politics in the way the trouble is at the producing end and politics stand in the way of the development of oyster fisheries on a business basis there is con flict of jurisdiction between the fed eral and provincial authority a man may go to the government of new- brunswick and obtain a lease of bot toms suitable for the cultivation on tho understanding that he will plant so many oysters a year on beds that have been depleted it might be thought that that man when his oys ter ranch had become ripe to take off a crop would be allowed to decide when he should dredge his surplus oyster and offer them on the market but no the federal government fixes tho fishing season necessarily short if all the public beds are not to be depleted right off and the pri- ivato oyster ranches has to dump his crop on a glutted market at sacrifice prices in competition with dredgers of public beds who have made no capital investment most if not all tho attempts to establish oyster ranches off the shores of new bruns wick have been failures pei farmers own ocean in princo edward island under some old law or custom the farmers who are usually fishermen at certain seasons claim the right to fish for oysters in waters lying off tho fore- shoro of their farms and they aro not inclined to surrender that right in order to permit a private firm to start oyster planting they hold on to it even after the beds oft their lands have been depleted hoping that naturo will restock them some time to tho benefit of their heirs if rot to themselves mutt and jeff by
