Departed thence Lef(. the bettuti- ful smile), between libel and Gerleim. Went into Galilee. There ending his noi'tilward journey from Jerusalem, 44. This verse hardly fits 11310 the story. IL is indeed $trange that Jesus should go into his own country because a prophet bath no honor in his own vaunt 0,, and especially because he him- self 80 testified, \Tul'ious expluualions have been attempted. Dr. Churton re- gards this verse ae giving our Lord's reason for atayittg (lway from Neser- eth, the home of his youth, and going to Cana and other pltvoes i110tead; and believes It to be merely a duplication of Atutt, 13. 57; Mark 6,4; and Luke 4. 24, But in our text not Nazareth, but all Galilee is mentioned. A better ex- planation is reached by reading the nest verse before this, The Galiloans received him on account of their ob- servation of his miracles in Jerusalem, and Jesus had hitherto refrained from working miracles in Galilee, because it is easier to, gain honor at home al- ter one has gained it abroad. This pneauing Is at tense suggested by the Revision, "So when he came," etc. But Dr. Alford gives, perhaps, the cleae- eat definition of the whole passage, Publicity hid gathered around our Lord and his ministry in Judea—such wide and sudden publicity as to endanger his plans in general.; so ho went into Galilee to avoid premature tame, test- ifying that his own country was the place where as a prophet he was least likely to be honored, 45, The Gal(leans received him. Not because of memories of bis beautiful early life, nor because of any previous Galilean leachings or miracles, but simply because they .had seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem, thus illustrating the truth on the proverb our Lord quotes, as well as the truth of the statement of a, modern scholar: "Jerusalem set the fashion in Hebrew estimate of men and things," The feast. The great passover festival celebrated annually at Jerusalem. To this "feast" Men of Hebrew blood, from Judea, Cali - lee, and all foreign countries, gathered by the hundred thousand. The crowds overflowed Jerusalem's walls and filled the villages on surrounding hillsides. That our Lord attracted the attention of all Jerusalem in such a state of overflow indicates how wonderful ere the "things that he dict." They also went. "They" means the Galileans, Their province( was often called "Gal( - lee of the Gentiles" because of many Gentile cities within its; borders, but it yearly sent its male Jewish popula- lion to Jerusalem. This clause is one of many evidences that John's gospel was written for Gentile readers; for no Jew would require such an exphtna- tion. 40.

Tela "I Owe lVIy Life." defence has folly established the laot that all the nervous energy of our bodies is generated by nerve centres located near the base of the brain. 'When the supply of nerve foroe has been diminished either by excessive physical or mental labours, or owing to a derangement of the nerve centres, we are first conscious of a languor or tired and worn-out feeling, then of a mild form of nervousness, headache, or stomach trouble, which is perhaps sua- oeeded by nervous prostration, chronic indigestion, and dyspepsia, and a gen- eral sinking of the whole system. In this day of hurry, fret and worry, there are very few who enjoy perfect health ; nearly everyone has some trouble, an ache, or pain, a weakness, a nerve trouble, something wrong with the stomach and bowels, poor blood, heart disease, or siok headaohe; all of which are brought on by a lack of nervous energy to enable the different organs of the body to perform their respective work. South American Nervine Tonic, the marvellous nerve food audhealthglver, is asatisfying 81cees8, awondrous boon to tired, siok, and overworked men and women, who have suffered years of discouragement and tried all manner of remedies without benefit. It is a modern, a scientific remedy, and in its Vake follows abounding health. It is unlike all other remedies in that it is not designed to aot on the different organs affected, but by its direct action on the nerve centres, which are nature's little batteries, it vauses an increased supply of nerwsus energy to be generated, which in its Sold by G. turn thoroughly oile, as it were, the machinery of the body, thereby en. abling it to perform perfectly its dif. ferent functions, and without the slightest friction.
