told this sinful woman that He teas
the Messiah (or Christ) of the J'. -n, •
whieh means aleo the Saviour of the
world.
Was ehe reedy for this stommdtme
declaration and eaving truth? The
ri`it id the narrative leaves us in no
doubt. A Samaritan woman, whose
life and eharacter were of the lowest,
lemaints n evengelist to those who
. knew her at bee worst, and lar name
is now immortal in eat:red history.
She went back into her own city and
and uneonseiously used the Levies

mary etatentent, "Come, eee a men
which told me all thing:: that ever T
did"; and then elle asked the ques-
tion, leaving tilt, answer to be die•
coveeed by those to whom she ad-
dressed it: "Is not this the Christa"
She was arousing their curiosity, and
they went to look the matter up fur
themselves.
The result was a city-wide revival.
, First we read that "many of the
Samaritans of that city believed on
Ulm" because of this saved WOOlatl'S
testimony, and then these new
Hovers, who had gene out to find
' Jesus, brought 'Him into their city,
; pleading with Him to "tarry with
them." For two full days and nights
:He remained, and we can well Mint-.
Igine what sort of a Gospel campaign
I the evanvelist who Himself is the
' good news, must have been concluded
there. The climax of the marvellous
incieent is in these thrilling words:
"And many more believed because
of His own word, and said unto the
woman: "Now we believe, not be-
cause of the saving, for we have
heard Him ourselves, and khow that
this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour
of the world."
He is "just the same to -day"; and
we have the privilege that the Sam-
aritan woman had, remembering
as our Lord said to His disciples dur-
ing this experience: "He that reapeth
reeeiveth wages, and gathereth fruit
unto life eternal" (v. 36).
Sunday, January 24. --John 4:1-12.
Golden Text:
W'th joy shall ye draw water out of
the wells of salvation (Ise. 12:3).
In order to make the journey from
.Judo ts into -Galilee the Lord -"must
needs go through Samaria" t v. 1).'
Why "must needs"? There is a les-
son in these tw-o words for all of us.
The obligation that they stand fer
seems to refer to two things—tho
obligation of circumstances and .the
call of God's will, First, the onlin-
e/7 . geographical necessity of pale -
;rig from Judaea to Galilee took me
through Samaria. Bat deeper than
that, the Sanmritans "must needs"
have the Gospel directly from Christ
Himself: this was God's will -for His
Son and fos them.
And so in the ease of God's child-
ren to -day there is often a "must
needs" of ordinary circuinetances
which require us to do seemingly- un-
important things; but back of theso
:e God's will, using those eiremnstan-
aes to bring us a golden opportunity
and obligation. May we he sensitive
as Christ's diselples, to recognize the
real significance or every "most
needs" in our life.
This leseon, like that of two weeln
ng'o, gives us methods and principles
of soul -winning or "taking men
alive." As Jesus rested by Jacobs
. well, near Sychar, and a Samaritan
woman came to draw water, he arous-
ed her interest by asking her to do
Him a favor—"Give Me to drink."
- If we let others do 'something for tie,
it may be a first step in getting them
-interested in Christ,
Moreover, He had aroused het
curiosity, for she knew that Jews
have no dealings with Saritans," and
she wondered why He had asked het
for a drink. To at011SO curiosity is
good bait M fishing for souls.
Then the Lord followed up His
'opportunity by challenging her in.
tereet and curiosity still more, say-
ing that if she only knew enough to
ask, "He would have given thee liv-
ing water."
The conversation that :followed,
whith should be closely studied from
the Scripture, includes one of the
most 'precious discources that aver
.eatne from the lips of the Son
God. It sinews that He did not
tate to give lavishly of his best when
ni* audience was but one person, and
that an outcast woman. The true

Photography.
Photography is counted a creation
of last century, says the Toronto
Globe, but tt reader who has been
delving into London happenings
around the middle or the seventeenth
century hafs discovered what looks
like an early prevision of it. The
comment is made in Waiter G. Bell's
book "The Great Fire 01 London"
The,referenee to photography is made
in a note on the post office plant,
which was burned in 1666. It is
recorded that Sir Samuel IV/orland
was able to open letters, take a fac-
simile 0099' of their contents, and
close them again. The photostat of
to -day, a method Of copying docu-
ments largely used in archives and
other offices, seems to be a modern
example of the idea. The author of
the.book quoted concludes as follows:
"It is tantalizing not to know the
secret. 'Unless the process was a
chemical one ;toting upon the ink, one
is left to surmise that Morland must
have had some prevision of photo-
graphy two eenturies before its time."

the passengers of the Collard liner
Auranta recently. The liner was
hound from Montreal to Liverpool,
and ran into Inc. In eonseeenmce
tho -vessel was steaming dead slow,
much to the disgust of the passen-
gers, wbo were grumbling about
what seemed to there a waste of
time.
Then off Caps Race, Newfound-
land, a huge ieeberg loomed up
through the fog, right in the path
of the ship. It was only a hundred
to a hundred and fifty feet away
from the liner, and for a moment
those on deck must have thought a
collision was inevitable. It would
have been had the vessel's speed been
greater. But the situation was saved
by the splendid seamanship of Cap -
lain R. Y. • Peel, who was in com-
mand. The engines were reversed,
and the berg was cleared, and what
might have been a great disaster was
avoided.
Elmo after collisiot with an ice-
berg expert 'seamanship can some-
times ' work miracles. One night,
when the face of the waters was cov-
ered with the densest fog, the Gillen
liner Arizona ran into an Iceberg.
'Phe force or the impact was so great
that the fore part of the ship was
smashed in from stem to foremast.
The gap thus made -was entirely fill-
ed with great blocks of ice. The
deck, too, wee littered with Ice—
four huntired tons of it.
Then began a grim race with
death. The scene of the collision had
been the Grand Bank, 150 tulles
from Cape Race, and the nearest port
was St. John's. Foe St. John's, then,
the Arizona made, but she was sink-
ing all the way. When forty-eight
hours later, she did finish her night-
mare journey she was on the point
of going down. It was it terrible
experience for the six hundred pas-
sengers aboard. But the coolness,
courage, and skill of the ship's offi-
cers brought them through to safety.
A stilt more terrible ordeal fell to
the lot of fourteen men, the crew oil
the ship Hansa, which was crushed
in the ice. •They managed to escape •
from the vessel, but they were ma-
rooned on the Ice -floe on which they
had takeu refuge for about seven
months. During the period the floe
drifted south for a distance of 972
nines,
One of the most aniaaing adven-
tures vritb an iceberg was that which
befell the Intrepid during the search
for Sir John Franklin. A gale com-
pelled the ship te, make fast to a
land-iioe (lee attached to the land).
Suddenly this ice began to tuove, end

iceberg 260 feet high. , Nothing
could avert a collision, but instead
of a crash, the Intrepid was forced
up the face ot the berg, until her
bow was thirty feet out of the water,
The situation was still highly dan-
gerous, but after being suspended
thus for a moment or two, the intre-
pid slipped gently down Into the
water, not a bit the worse.
Icebergs have ttometimes produced
beneficient as well as harmful results.
They are usually formed on land as
glaciers, and so when they slip down
into the sea they have a large quan-
tity of earth, gravel, and stones at-
