A TRAVELER'S TALE OF GALILEE
Tlio International Sunday School Lesson For October 2# Is, "A
Lesson In Trust"—Matt. 11:22-33
By WILLIA
Storm-stayed on the Lake of Gal-
Bee, I have had an unusual oppor
tunity to understand the setting of
this present lesson. It was only a
few months ago. in the summer of
this present year, that I learned
from experience how this little body
of water, thirteen miles long by a
mile wide, could baffle the efforts
of sturdy boatmen. Naturally, for
me the long hours on the lake, de
spite the contrary weather, were a
Joy and a spiritual experience, rath
er than an ordeal: for was I sot
entering into fellowship wit hthe
Man of Galilee and his fishermen
friends?
The afternoon was drawing to a
close when two of us, Just in by
launch and rail from Jerusalem, sot
wut from Tiberias for the ruins of
old Capernaum. The boatmen as
sured us that we could easily make
the trip before dark, and the hotel
promised to save dinner for us. Big
and cumbersome, and equipped with
a salt and two oars that were really
heavy sweeps, one man to each, our
boat was not greatly different from
that which the sons of Zebedee
abandoned to follow Jesus. Our
three husky boatmen were Arabs,
speaking no English, yet quick to
comprehend signs. They were ia
high spirits, for foreign passengers
meant a big wage.
Wind was light as we set sail from
the rickety wharf of Tiberias, the
ever-present crowd looked on. As
we drew toward the center of the
lake, the wind grew stronger, and
the waves higher. But the wind
came from the northeast, and baffled
our progress, tack as we might. The

FRIDAY EVENING,
,M T. ELLIS
boatmen used all their skill, but so
contrary was the wind that they
early suggested a return to Tiberias.
They dared not give up entirely, ex
cept on my request, for to do so
would imperil the fee they expected.
And truth to tell, I enjoyed the
struggle more than a straight, swift
passage.
A Night Ride on Galilee
Meanwhile, the glory of a Galilee
sunset enwrapped the lake. Over
the plain of Magdala and the hills of
Hattin, where the Sermon on the
Mount was delivered, the sun sank
luxuriantly to rest in the Mediter
ranean. His departing smile was re
flected upon the empurpled hills of
Gndara, and glinted gloriously upon
the surface of the water. All the
landscape was softened until it
semed to have ben breathed upon
by the peace of God. The sky itself
became silk—watered silk, in striped
pattern, and of softest colors.
Through these riea curtains an
evening star shone out In brilliance
and the sea had grown calm. The
struggle with contrary winds was
over. After waiting for a time for
favoring breezes, and a sign from
us that We would hasten back to our
belated dinner, the boatmen bent
their backs to the oars, and the long
pull toward Camernaum began. Re
conciled to their task, the men sang
as they rowed, to the music of the
subsiding waves against the boat's
sides. Darkness settled down upon
the lake, except for the stars, and
the grass fires on the hills. It was
a time for memories and meditation.
We reached Capernaum, as told
last week; and the wind still failing
our Arabs undertook the long row
back to Tiberias. The night proved
cold, and for shelter we lay in the
bottom of the boat, its protruding
ribs affording a poor mattress.
There the long day's travel had its
way, and we slept, awakening only
when Tiberias was reached, shortly
before midnight.
Old Memories Anew on the lake
That night we had traveled in
our boat over a great part of the
Lake of Galilee; but we had also
traveled across the centuries, and
through the experiences of the Mas
ter and his fishermen friends, who
have made this the best loved body
of water in the world.
"Over and over it comes to me.
The thought of Christ on the stormy
sea."
Here Jesus revealed himself, on the
waves and by the shore. Near this
lake most of his life was lived. And
the Christian thought of the ages
has gone homing to this lake, cry
ing. as in the poet's words,
"Break thou the Bread of Life,
Dear Lord to me,
As thou didst break the loaves,
By Galilee."
The siprit of, Galilee, and of this
I-rfssson, has been well caught by Jo
seph Addison Richards in the poem,
"The Master of My Boat:"
"I owned a little boat a while ago
And sailed a Morning Sea with
out a fear,
And whither any breezes might
blow
I'd steer the little craft afar or
near.
"Mine was the boat.
And mine the air,
And mine the sea.
Not mine, a care.
"My boat became my place of night
ly toil,
I sailed at sunset to the fishing
ground,
At morn the boat was freighted
with the spoil
That my all-conquering work
and skill had found.
"Mine was the boat, *
And mine the net.
And mine the skill,
And power to get.
"One day there passed along the si
lent shore,
While I my net was casting In
the Sea,
A Man. who spoke as never man be
fore;
I followed him—new life began
in me.
"Mine was the boat.
But his, the voice,
And his the call,
Yet mine, the choice.
"Ah, 'twas a fearful night out on
the Lake,
And all my skill availed not at
the helm,
Till him asleep I wakened, crying,
'Take,
Take thou command, lest waters
overwhelm!'
"His was the boat.
And his the Sea,
And his the Peace
O'er all and me.
"Once from his boat he taught the
curious throng.
Then bade me let down nets out
in the sea;
I murmured, but obeyed, nor was
it long
Before the catch amazed and
humbled me.
"His was tVie boat,
And his the skill,
And his the catch,
And his, my will."
Walking the Waves
The Lesson Story followed the
feeding of the five thousand, and the
attempt of the multitude to make
Jesus king by force. The narrative
itself is better reading than any
(Comment, especially in the Wey
mouth version:
"But towards daybreak he went
to them, walking over the waves.
When the disciples saw Him walking
on the waves, they were greatly*
alarmed.
" 'lt is a spirit,' they exclaimed,
and they cried terror.
"But instantly Jesus spoke to
them, and said,
" 'There is no danger; it is I; do
not be afraid.'
" "Master," answered Peter, 'if It
is you, bid me come to you upon the
water.'
" 'Come,' said Jesus.
"Then Peter climbed down from
the boat and walked upon the water
to go to him. But when he felt the
wind he grew frightened, and begin
ning to sink he cried out,
" 'Master, save me.'
"Instantly Jesus stretched out his
hand and caught hold of him, saying
to him,
" 'O little faith, why did you
doubt?'
"So they climbed into the boat,
and the wind lulled; and the men
on board fell down before him and
said,
" 'You the indeed God's Son.' "
A Miracle's Message
Sidney Lanier was taught by the
"gospelling glooms" and "luminous
dark" of the trees that
"haply we know somewhat more
than we know."
So the disciples learned on the lake
that the Jesus they followed was
more than the Jesus they followed:
he was greater than their thought
of him. Even when afar, he was
near: for the electric call of their
need brought him to their side when
help seemed most Impossible. He is
the helper for a crisis.
Even now he would come in visi
ble form to this storm-tossed world,
were it not that his representatives
and helpers, in the pulpit and school
room and home and halls of legisla
tion, are standing in his stead,
speaking his word, doing his work,
extending his help. Such is the sug
gestion that comes to me from a New
York businessman, whose name is
known the nation over as a financial
force, though his interest in reli
gion is understood only by a limited
circle. This optimistic idea, that
Jesus is so well represented on earth
to-day that his personal presence is
not essential for the carrying out of
his program, is one to hearten all
who are endeavoring to keep the
trust which has been eommlttod to
them.
What of Peter's presumption?
Should not his audacity have been
rebuked? Well, Jesus did not re
buke, but encouraged him. In ad
ventures of faith. God is never the
first to say "stop." He encourages
initiative in all affairs of trust. His
reserves are greater than our most
daring drafts. Did not Jesus con
tinually stress the preeminence of
faith in his training of his desci
ples His prayer for them, and for
the Church, was "Lord," increase our
faith." When the Son of Man re
turns, we are told, his first interest!

in the earth. Every exhibition of
confidence In God is met more thau
half-way by God himself.
"Who goes a step toward God,
through doubtings dim,
God goes a mile, through blazing
light, to him."
When One Is "All at Sea"
If I were looking into the eyes of
all the vast company of dtvesrlfted
folk who are reading this lesson,
and could ask, "What is the gravest
sin of to-day " I should receive a
wide variety of answers. Really,
though, the sin of sins in our own
times is simply lack of faith. It is
what sent Peter sinking beneath tho
waves, until rescued by the out
stretching hand of the Master—Peter
who had begun to think of himself
.and his difficulties, when heshould
have thought only of his sufficient
Eord. "O little faith, why did you
doubt." ts the divine rebuke that
pierces to the core of most of our
difficulties.
When "all at sea," take Christ
aboard. Therein is the sovereign
remedy for the distresses of indi
vidual lives and of the world at
large. Had Jesus been given a place
at the Peace Table, think you the
quick-ripening harvest of selfishness
would have been sown? To-day
wore the nations to seek first the
kingdom of God and his righteous
ness, how quickly real peace would
come to this suffering world. Bhip
of state, and tiny lifecraft, alike
need to take aboard the Master
whose power is equal to the quelling
of all storms.

A boom in building sclioolhouses Is
now on throughout the province. New
settlers are bringing new areas under
cultivation and the authorities are hard
put to keep the school building pro
