> (VHEN CHRISTIANITY BECAME ORGANIZED The International Sunday School Lesson For January 13 Is "Jesus Begins His Work."—Mark 1:12-20 By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Jesus identifies himself with thei big crowd of plain people. Ho wasi one of "the masses." A toiler and the son of a toiler: He was in such i lose fellowship with the working man tnat He was called "the car penter." Dr. Van Dyke has written truly: -• "But I think the King of that coun try comes out from His tireless host. And walks In ♦his world of weary, as if loved it the most; He meets again the laboring men who are looking and longing for Him." Xo Buddha immured in lonely and ascc-tic contemplation was He, but a real man, touching lite on all levels, and yet closest to the dust-grimed and sweaty crowd of common peo ple. The modern fashion of preach ing Christ as the best Brother of all mankind, who loved them up to the leVel of life and the limitless meas ure of death, is as near to "the sim ple gospel" as preaching can get. Lining With the Crowd A snob wants to emphasize the differences between himself and the n:ass of mankind; a Saviour stresses the points of likeness. This lesson (ipon the baptism and the temptu-1 tion of Jesus, has one great message: the identity of the Master with tliej lite and lot of people. He was ati constant pains to associate himself, with the sorrows and toils and joys and hopes and religious aspirationa j of the big crowd of us. , John's preaching was not perfect: | it was only a preparation; none the; less, Jesus insisted that He be pub-| licly enrolled as one of John's crowd. A lot of conceited persons | think the church is not perfect and j not quite up to their standard: and so refuse to unite with it. To ail j such may be commended the ex-1 ample of Jesus; He joined John's: ehurch. He found the best crowd and stood with it. Xo idle, carping! critic He. Each in his place standing for the j best he knows and not withholding! open allegiance to the best and most, hopeful organization God has pro vided, is the program of progress. Open and public confession by; church membership is the counsel } conveyed by the example of Jesus in His Baptism. He wanted to be counted among the friends of, God on earth. That way comes Chris tion solidarity. \ Real Man's Battle- After exaltation comes depression; the ecstatic experience of baptism, j when the heavens opened and thej Father attested His approval ot j the Son, was succeeded by the temp- j tation in the wilderness. Jesus went j apart awhile; to take the measure | and meaning of Himself, His new. • y■!. •■Hnce and His mission. Every j i • person understands the- I Jesus wants to get away 11 'he crowd; to be alone with j liii.'.self and God. But lie did not get away from the 1 devil. Modern philosophy is lnclin- ; ed to ignore the devil; substituting; devilish tendencies in humanity, j Personally I prefer to think better, of man and accept Satan. Every-1 body w'ho has lifted his eyes six! inches from the rim of a book ! | knows that there are forces in the | ' world which make for unrighteous- ! r.ess. The ugly thing called sin Is no mere theological term; it is a fact! of life. A successful businessman sat op- I posite me and said, "I tell you, I Know men and I know myself and! it is only the grace of God that keeps j me from tumbling over into the vol cano." That man was not talking about any metaphysical or subjec-j tive errors; he meant gross sins, i such as the law of the land recog-1 nizes as crime. Yet he is a good! man, made such, he avows, only by j the religion of the tempted Christ. I No Sliam Fight Into st ch battles as this—the kind j ' which most upright men know as! more real experiences than anyj struggle in business—Jesus went, i He fought the fight that no good! man can escape; and He fought it with no weapons that may not be ours. It was no sham battle that Jesus j waged. He could have fallen even | as we may fall. It was possible for Him to sin; otherwise the experience of the Temptation would have been "as idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean." Sturdy words need to be spoken cn this point, to meet the miscon ception of those who would amas culate the Temptation; and Rev. Dr.j J. H. Jowett has spoken them: I "Whatever else my Lord shall be toj me, He shall not be a counterfeit; man, exposed to counterfeit tire, a| mere stage fire, a man played upon i by harmless sheet lightning and! never moving amid the dread bolts | and forked flame. His shall not he| the sham fight and mine the' real j struggle, or He can be no leader to \ me. He himself suffered being j tempted. He felt the real heat of! the tire, and felt the fascination of i I the real seduction. Jesus of Xaz- I areth had the real devil to meet and! the real battle to wage, and the gar- ! lands on His noble brow were nobly j won." A Three Battle War To the mind of the lonely, spent, i MUSTARINE Better Than a Mustard Plaster, Kills All Pain and Kills It Faster Big Box Only 25c RHEUMATISM i( you will just try Begy's Mustar- j ine once for the agonizing pain, the ! gnawing, the twinges and swollen joints you will have no use for plas ters. poultices, liniments or pink tea ! "Hurrah! Bas.v'n Mustarine Has Itawd All My llhrumnlic l'ulna Away." < Don't send a boy to do a man's A'ork If you are tortured with rheu matic pains let good, old powerful Mustarine ease the pain in 5 minutes. It will not blister; but oh, the blessed relief It brings to thousands of suf ferers front neuralgia, lumbago, gout, sore throat, chest colds, backache, chilblains, frosted or Inflamed feet. Ask for Befrv's Mustarine—the orig inal substitute for the mustard plas ter, made of real, yellow mustard— no substitutes. FRIDAY EVENING, HAMUSBURG tSSB* TELEGRAPH JANUARY 11, 1918 and hungry young man, worn >vlth his long vigil of forty foodless days, the Temptation appeared. There is no need to apparel him in horns and hoofs; the devil wears evening clothes ottener rtian the rig of red. A well fed man may not be tc-mpted by food; but a starving man may. It is amazing how the elemental wants, food, shelter, warmth, appeal to eve'n the highest reason. And Jesus was hungry. So Satan had him turn the stones into bread. Now it surely was God's will that his Son should be fed — but not in Satan's way. Better hun ger than dishonor. Allegiance to evil is too high a price to pay for life. More subtle was the second on slaught. When Jesus would not re spond to a physical allurement, He was attacked in His faith. These spiritual temptations are usually more powerful than those of the tlesh. "Prove yourself and God by casting yourself down from the pin nacle of the temple; the angels will bear you up," said the Evil One glib to quote Scripture. Faith exercised needlessly and at sin's be'hes'. is felly. The third allurement was to take a short cut to his dominion and kingdom by compromising with the devil. "I'll sjgree to let you have the world if you will acknowledge yourself feudatory to me. Let nte be overlord and you may be King of kings." This was nothing else than the common temptation to compromise: "the end justifies .the means." By the devil's program, Jesus would escape shame and sor row and and Calvary. But He knows that God's crowns are to be earned in God's way, so he cried: "Get thee hence, Satan, Thou shult worship the Lord thy God." The Hills of Home Nearly a year elapsed between the temptation of Jesus and His calling! of the first disciples. Jesus had I turned his face back to Galilee, Hisj boyhood home. Amid the excite ment of life in Jerusalem His hu-| man heart often turned longingly | toward the sweet hills over which he had ranged in boyhood. He longed for a sight of the wild-flow- ' ers that lie loved, and for the fresh! breezes that blow over Galilee. The! heart of man is hungry for home;! no other spot on earth seems quite! so attractive as that in which he 1 spent his boyhood. The big heavy boats of Galilee—! T have ridden in them, and I have I seen them half filled with fish—l tould not be handled by one man;! they needed team work. Jesus! called to his service men who were' used to working with men. That is! a first quality for success in organ ized service. The ability to * get along with fellow workers, and to help and be helped, neither over rating nor underrating an associate,' is a talent which often counts for' more than genius. What if James and John, with approved business sagacity, had re plied to the invitation of the Mas ter: "Can't you see that it is ob viously impossible for us to leave our nets. Business is business and it must come first." They certain lv did not realize the uniqueness of the opportunity tha* had come to them in the voice of Jesus. They 12 lb.

But they were willing to follow the best that beck, oned. They put religion above rev enue, belief above business, the Prophet above profits. They saw ti gleam of new life, and by following it they became transformed and transformers. Christians to-day are being confronted with a crisis which means as much to them as the call means to the Galilean fishernien. New summonses to new service in new ways are being sounded -by Providence. The man who lets His cwn material entanglements liold now is deaf to the higher call of the hour. Many a man of affairs drops his business and puts him self at the disposal of the Y. M, C. A. for service at home or abroad. Thousands of young men are turn ing away from office and farm and factory and college life to lay down their lives in defense of righteous ness. TNT Had a Perfectly Innocent Ancestor Trinitrotoluene, the trotyl of the Germans and the TXT of the Amer icans and British, is the most power ful and the most commonly used ex plosive of to-day. High explosive shells are loaded with it. It is the force which makes the torpedo ef fective. or which endangers subma rines when, in depth bombs, it is ex ploded in their vicinity. It was trin itrotoluene which caused the recont disaster in Halifax. And this substance, holding 3ueh great potential powers of destruction in its seemingly innocent pale yel low or white crystals, is a product of our harmless domestic coal tar. Or rather it is a grandson, as it were, of coal tar. Toluene, more common ly known as methyl benzine, is the base of trinitrotoluene, and toluene is derived through a process of dis tillation from coal tar. Toluene contains much hydrogen, and in the process of manufactur ing trinitrotoluene these hydrogen atoms arc replaced by nitro groups. This process of nitrosubstitution per mits many variations in the arrange ment of the nitro groups, and hence chemists are able to produce twelve) different trinitrotoluenes, each vary ing from the others in boiling point, i melting point, solubility, specific j gravity and sensitiveness to detona tion. Trinitrotoluene in its natural state is in the form of pule yellow or white crystals, but in loading shells or bombs these crystals are melted, and in a fluid state the explosive is poured into its case, where it is sealed under pressure. In the form: most commonly used its sensitive- j ness to detonation is so slight that it j is necessary to use a detonator of | mercury fulminate. Because of this, lack of sensitiveness it is one'of the safest explosives to handle, but a t < the same time its explosive force, oc-1 casioned by the rapid expansion of! a small quantity of the solid into a] greater volume of gas, is than that of any of its cousins, such j as the dynamites and nitroglycerin, j —Kansas City Times.

SPROUL SAYS HE IS A CANDIDATE Not Man of Any Faction, De clares Delaware Senator, in Announcing Ambition Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 11.—Senator William C. Sproul, "Father of the Pennsylvania Senate," announced here last nfght that he 1 would be a candidate for Governor. The Sena tor's announcement came after nu merous conferences with Western Pennsylvania Republican leaders and when the Senator appeared at the dinner to Ex-Mayor Armstrong, he received an ovation. In announcing his aspirations Sen ator Sproul said: "I am going to run for Governor. I am not being urged to run by any body. 1 am the candidate of no fac tion. It happens that yesterday I met Theodore Roosevelt. Perhaps I am like him. Without waiting to discuss the situation I will simply say that I am a candidate for Governor and will make the run. Governor Brum baugh has issued a statement in which he has discussed the political situation. I am sure that the Gov ernor did not have me in mind when he made that statement." Senator Sproul's announcement, of course, was the big feature of the conference of the day. It was made just before the opening of the dinner to Joseph G. Armstrong, the retiring Mayor of this city. Although Senator Penrose declined to commit himself publicly on the question of the Gov ernorship, it was plain among his allies that Sproul was the candidate. Sentiment on the Governorship, Senator Penrose said, not only has not "crystallized," but that it was not Intended that it should, the purpose of his visit here, the first he has been able to make in over a year, was, he said to learn the sentiment of the party leaders to have it expressed openly and freely, and then to have the party prepared to go into the spring primaries to put forth its best effort. Admitting he had found some sen timent in western counties for State Chairman Crow for the nomination for Governor, Senator Penrose, an swering a question put immediately afterward, said also he had not yet been informed that Senator Crow had reconsidered his declination to run for Governor made some time ago. Crow himself laughed away the talk to-day, but made no state ment. Senator Penrose gave the following as candidates suggested to him in the conferences: For Governor, W> C. Sproul, State Chairman William C. Crow, of Fayette; State Senator E. E. Beidleman. of Dauphin, and Auditor General Charles A. Snyder. For Lieutenant Governor, Senator Beidleman, former Speaker George E. Alter, and Chairman J. F. Wood ward, of the House Appropriation Committee, both of Allegheny. For Secretary of Internal Affairs. J. F. Woodward, of Allegheny, and Ben Williams, of Wilkes-Barre. For Congress-at-large, Joseph Mc- Laughlin, M. M. Garland, T. S. Crago. present members; Isadore Stern, of Philadelphia, and Anderson H. Wal ters. Johnstown. Aside from State Representative Stem, who may oppose John R. K. Scott for one of the Philadelphia places, for Congress-at-large if Stern decides to make the race, the new de velopment in that situation was the possibility that former Representa tive Anderson 11. Walters, of John stown, may be one of the four picked by the Penrose forces if Represen tative-at-Largo M. M. Garland or T. S. Crago retire from the state fight to become candidates In their local Congressional districts. Garland is being urged to oppose M. Clyde Kelly in the Thirtieth district here.
