' The situation had become tense and dangerous. The sturdy and courage- ous Galilean would have formed no contemptible fumy, and Jesus' own disciples 'would have been eagerly chosen as leaders. Tho Man who could feed the multitudes with a few loaves and fishes seemed the ideal King, and many were already prepared to ac- cept Hint as the long-prornised Saviour. Jesus' first step was iro get rid of the twelve, and then He sent away rile multitudes, He Himself "went up into a mountain apart to pray." Evening came, and night, and "IIe wall there alone," "The ship" or rather ":boat," Con- taining the disciples wlas crossing the northern end of rho lake toward Bet11- snidn, or Capernaum, where the dis- ciple's intended to await the coming of Jesus. But 'progrces was slow, the wind wee contrary and the waves high, "In the ?otrbh watch," that is between three and six o'clock in the morning, Jesu-s there to them.

W'.l. a ghostly apparition, and "they cried out for fear." Out of the .darkness, over the troubled waters, came the voice o1 the" Master: "Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid." Only halfebeliaving, still afraid, the disciples looked and waited. Peter, the most daring -and impulsive of them all, answered with the request, "Bid or come unto Thee." Jesus said, "Cone." But confidence quickly gave way to fear 'when he found himself sinking, and et took the strong hand of Jesus to bring him back again into the boat. "Of a truth," the disciples said, "Thou art the Son of God." These men had come to Jesus as to -a great Teacher. They are now learn- ing that I•Ics as more than a teacher— that He is divine. In tho end He takes for them the :place of God; they find God in Him. The sneraele of the sea is more than a miracle. It has the value of a great parable. It conveys one -of the pro- foundest truths of life, the truth that faith has conquest over fear. What- ever the doubt, or peril, or darlcnosa, or trouble of life, it is faith in God that gives courage to endure. Faith look's calmly out upon the storm. Faith holds steadfastly onward in the clerk - nese. Faith will not entertain a doubt of God's goodness or of Hie power to save. Faith triumphs and brings The lesson of trust in God was one which Peter could never fooget, If! his faith was ever afterward obscured,] as when he denied his Lord, it fl'amecl! up again with renewed strength and! brightness. In the midst of the aea.I of persecution he walked firmly. 32! was long afterward that he wrote tot hie fellow-Olnrstians in Asia Minor,! saying, "Who is he that shall harm you, if ye he zealous of that which is geode Balt and if ye shonlcl euffcr'for, righteousness sake, blessed are ye: and fear not their fear, neither be troubled." Seo 1 Peter 8: 18-14. Whatever the seeming danger ot•' calamity, we are safe in God's hands. The safe way is the way of duty and of service wherever that way mayj lead. " Those only are in peril who seek selfish ,end:s, and whose eyes aro fixed on materiri'1 gain. In the things: of the Spirit, which Jesus leans taught, as to value eeprcmely, we shall suffer no kbss nor irhall we lose our way.

It usually begins through accident by eggs being broken or frozen. It is well, therefore, to see that the nests are properly supplied with straw or other nesting material and have them darkened, -so that if an egg is accidentally broken the fowls will not be likely to discover it. Supply plenty of lime in the form of oyster shells, bone or similar substances to ,insure •a firm shell. As $OOH its it ie discovered that a fowl has formed the habit the fowl should be removed in order to prevent the spread of the vice. Once formed it is difficult to eradicate, and the safest remedy is the death penalty. Fowl sometimes pluck feathers from themselves and from each other, which is often caused by too close confinement, by the presence of insect pests or by improper feeding. A wide range with a change of diet, including a plentiful supply of animal feed and freedom from insect pests, will usually correct the evil. Above all, sec that the fowls have plenty of inducement to exercise. If the habit becomes well formed it is very troublesome and may neceeelktate the killing of seine of the fowl in order to stop it. The covers of fruit jars will readily yield to tho presauz_e• of a strip of every board. This should be about one inch wide an'd eight inches long.

Each performer roost keep account of the number of spoons at which the first performer points. When that number le the same as the number of the spoon in its order on the table, the second performer knows that it is the chosen sl n. For example, if the au iierwe choos- es middle one,the ineid erform- esthe tep er will indicate it the third time she asks the question, "Is it this one?" If the chosen spoon is the :=ecoid from the right, the performer may point at one other spoon before pointing at it, or she may consider at the fourth from the left az point to three others first, without confusing her pa tner. In the same way, the spoon one either end may be indicated either the fest or the fifth time. The double counting makes it very difficult for the com- pany to guess the solution. The trick requires a little practice, for it is easy to -confuse your partner and give her a wrong lead; but it is really very simple if the double count is kept in mind. Comacy-Come. There is a twilight game well suited to Hallowe'en frolics, called by the inexpbicable name of comacy-come, with which all households should be familiar, It is played to best ad - 'vantage round an open fire with the leader in a rocking chair arid the other players on hassocks, and it is always started by some one's proposing sud- denly, "Let's play Comacy-come." The next stepes a story, told by the leader, concerning some character' or event in history, mythology 0r *eine. For example, "This person's namebe- gins with N," she says—and proceeds to tell about the young man whet looked so long at himself in the pool that he finally turned into a flower. No names are mentioned, of course, since mentioning names would disclose the secret, and no :one may speak until, at the end, the leader lehns forward and says quickly, with lifted finger, "Comacy-comet Who as' it?" Then those who know ay, "Narcissus!" and those who do not lenow settle back and :hope for better luck next time. The hero of the second story may be Phaet'hon, the fabled boy who drove hie father's fiery steeds and had a rut?,- away; or the boy "beginning avith A" who was a king in disguise and burned the peasant's cakes. A certain ad- ventu3'e bearing the initials G. F. will nearly always be recognized as the search for the Golden Fleece; agreat historical event, the P. T., ars the signing of the Peace Treaty; arsd 3•, a hero of the war, who defeated the Germans at the battle al the Maxie, as Joffre. Even songs and nursery rhymes can leo used. A few easy guesses should be scat- tered through the game to encourage the younger players. Always, of course, the great moment is just at the last, when the story stops short with a thrilling, "Comacy-come! Who is et?" After a while the children theme selves will tell the stories, and the more they tell the more they will read in search of materiel. Comacy-come offers a fine opportunity ibr- getting alequainted 01(11 pr03ni1ient ohmmeters of the past and of the present. Tho best of it is that the ganlo makes them real Itch -and -blood people.
