®HE BIRTH OF

F -fer this Gospel; so tp

^Gospel through at a sitting more than
<once,. Then let us make our own an-
■.alysisor outline of the Gospel, decid
ing on its leading theme, its key-
vei'se and a theme or subject for each
-of the twenty-four chapters. Members
-of the Sunday School class can be-
■ottme interested in master-study
■of this sort with the teacher, so
that the results .of the slx-months
study will remain with them through
’life.
Each of the four Gospels has, by
inspiration, a different emphasis
..and significance. “In all,, alike is
revealed the one unique personality.
’The one Jesus is King in Matthew,
.Servant in Mark, Man- in Luke and
, God in John.. But not only so; for
Matthew’s King is also Servant,\Man
■.and God, and Mark’s -Servant is al
so' King, and Man and' God; Luke’s
Man is also King, and Servant, and
«God; and John’s eternal Son is also
King, Servant and Man.”
Dr. J. M. Weddell, in the Sunday
School Times, suggests a useful out-*
line for the Gospel of Luke, which
"he calls “Six Times Four,” -based on
Luke 4: 18, 19. In that passage the
’iJord at Nazareth quoted six points
from Isaiah; »
1. He Jiath quoted Me to preach
• the Gospel to the- poor.
2. He hath sent me- to heal
'broken-hearted.
3. To- preach deliverance to
-.captives.'
4. And recovering sight to
' blind.
5. To set at liberty them
.•are bruised.
6. To preach the acceptable ;
■-of. the Lord.
Dr. Weddel notes that the six
statements of purpose; here given-.-
furnisli six divisions, of four chap-'
ters each, covering the entire Gos-
pel of Luke. That is the first state
ment, “He hath annotated me to
■preach the Gospel to the poor,’’
(.-characterizes the first four chapters
-of Luke. Similiarily the second
■sta^mixrnft, " “to “heal the broken^
"hearted,” characteristics the second
“four chapters, and so on through
• the entire twenty-four:. ■ This is a
, -valuabe study for the class to work
-.-out, both in advance and' through
'.the six months.7 •>
Another interesting1, charafe’terist-
■ic of the Gospel as a whole, to be
moted during the course, arises from
•the fact that Luke was a physician.

class can have an interesting time
looking out for these as the lessons
go on.
John the Baptist’s birth was a
miraculous preparation by God for
the coming and earthly ministry of
His Son. An aged priest named Zach-r
arius and his wife Eilzabeth were
righteous and consecrated Jews 40”

"they were both old. Evidently,, they

WHICH WAY?
IS'ome good people think we are heading for the bow-wows. They
tell us that young people are far from what they ought to be. They
insist that the church folk' are a bad lot. While non-church goers
are painfully near a well-deserved .perdition. They tell you without
a blush that business is on the downgrade and that it deserves to be.
Let us admit that all that the crepe hangers and dolefull idill-
ies say is quite time. Let us not profess to' be what we’re not
Then what of it? By far the great majority of us are doing our
level best. We‘re honestly earning our own way.
“But things can’t be right! Note the army of unemployed!”
our waiters tell us. Did it ever occur to some people that we have
these days a genius for statistics and that we now know pretty .well
how many unemployed there are. This information was not avail
able formerly. Then it must’be rememlbererd that no machine
runs without friction. Democracy is in the same case.
Interest is the real -test of individual or national well being.
It is what a man or a nation or a village or a town is. really inter
ested in that counts. The dude objects to the noise of a, machine.
The Workman hears; in the whirr of belts and in the -grind of gear
ing and the jolly clamour of the hammer the hum- of industry.
The one hears noise; the other hears the call of prosperity.. The
dawdler and the thumb twiddler and the croaker have their inter
ests and no,one envies them. On the other hand there are the go-
getters who never say fail but who roll up their sleeves a little
higher and dust a little faster to outwit the fleeting but' nimble
dollar. There’s ipleny of business for the man who bids better
times a hearty good, m-orning. Prospertiy dogs the footsteps of the
man who has interesting words on his tongue or attractive goods in
his ■shelves'’"and1 his windows and dn his counters.

What Ambition Did for Joe
«. 1 ■ '
Joe had a job In a factory. Thoujrh
it was hard, he worked cheerfuDjr
early and late, because he wanted to
be a foreman with larger pay in or
der that he might give his wife and
children a better home. Then he be
gan to feel extra tired, couldn’t sleep, was weary all day long and his chest
pained him. One day he fainted at
his job. The doctor said he had only
one chance of recovery from his trou
ble— consumption — and that was to
be treated at the Muskoka Hospital
for Consumptives.
So ill was Joe that it has taken,
almost two years to build him up to
. anything like normal, but he hopes to
be able to return home soon and tako
up once more the duty of supporting;
his family. ■
For work such as this, your sub
scription Is asked. Will you pleaso

Keeps Poultry Free f romWORMS
Mr. Wm. Jarrott, of Brigden, wrote us a year ago stating that his poultry had
become badly infected with worms. We advised him to use 2 lbs. of Royal Purple
. Poultry Specific in each 100 lbs. of Laying Mash for two weeks and continue
throughout the Winter with 1 lb. After-using it for three weeks lie wrote us stating
that in three days he noticed blood streaks in the droppings, and that his egg pro
duction had gone up 100%. During the Fall, Winter and Spring months he pur
chased 600 lbs. of this Potiltry^Specific. We received a letter from him the latter
■ part of August, stating that he was amazed at the results he obtained, that his poultry
Were entirely free from worms, and that during August of this year his production
was 100% larger than last year.
It will pay every poultryman, no matter what feed he is using, or if he mixes his
own, to add one pound of Royal Purple Poultry Specific to each hundred pounds
of feed during the whole season the poultry are shut in. While this great tonic de
stroys the worms, it at the same time tones up the birds, keeping their digestive
organs active the same as if they were on range, compelling them to take from 15%
to 20% more good from the feed they eat. This is naturally reflected in increased
egg production.
. Worms in poultry is often mistaken for other diseases. The birds become very
thin and show symptoms of diarrhoea. When badly infested they will die.
Put up in 30c. and 60c. packages, $1.75 and $6.00 tins,
also 100-lb. air-tight bags—$14.00. For sale by 4,600
dealers in Canada. If your dealer cannot supply you,
write direct.
We can supply you with Royal Purple Laying Meat with or without the
Poultry Specific mixed in. Mr. T. L. Matheson, Innerkip, Ontario, tells us that he
fed Royal Purple Laying Meal to 600 pullets last year with the Royal Purple
Poultry Specific and got an average of 74% production from the middle of Decem
ber until the middle of March. He also states that he has received the largest pro
duction of eggs he has ever had during the twelve months he has been using Royal
Purple Laying Meal, arid that it keeps his poultry healthy during the entire season.
If your dealer cannot supply you we will be pleased to quote you a price, freight
