MCLACHL.AN, Principal, CAPE STRIKERS BEATEN. South African Government Won a Victory. A despatch from Capetown, South Africa, says: Despatches from all parts of the union report that the strikers everywhere are returning to work and that the vic- tory has been won by the govern- ment in the struggle with the fed- eration of trades arising originally out of the strike of the railroad em- ployes against the retrenchment' policy of the companies. The iron grip of the premier, Gen. Louie Botha, was still in evidence on Friday morning at Johannesburg where 62 members of the Typogra- phical Union were arrested' while meeting. The charge against them was cont'tavetition of the provisions of martial law. Then' men had Jugs passed a resolution to resume work. At Salt' River railroad work shops ;just outside Capetown all. the nen have •returned, their lead- ers having declared the strike end ed. The.

INTERNATIONAL LESSON, • JANUARY 25. Lesson. TV. Serving Je8us. Luke 8. 9..07:02; 10, 38.42. Golden' Pcxt,; Matt. 2i. 40. Grouping's . Events Acco-rdin'g .Subject Mtter'. 'Elie materialfor. our present lesson .comprises three separate events taken from. differ- ent portions,of Luke's longer, nar rative and'having no direct chrono- logical connection with `each other. They have been 'chosen rathei on the basis of a relationship in thought and teaching, a principle of selection permissible in all our study of the Bible, and quite in harmony with a 'method followed by the gospel writers themselves in various parts of their several nar- ratives. In the lesson outline we have sequence indicated theaq uence of thought which this grouping of our lesson outline presents. I Verses 1-8. Soon afterward—Fol- lowing the events which transpired in the home of the Pharisee and which are recorded in the closing verses of•the preceding chapter. Good tidings—This is the literal meaning of our word gospel; also of the word evangel, from which the words "evangelism," "evan- gelical," etc„ are derived. Mary that was called Magdalene —Meaning probably that her home was at Magdala, a village which is commonly identified with the mod- ern village of Mejdel, on the west- ern shore of the Sea of Galilee. It -was customary 50 to distinguish from each other persons having a very common name. The afflictions from which this woman had been freed by Jesus were doubtless such as affected the brain and nervous system, since it was these -ailments that were com- monly attributed to demon posses- sion. Unless Mary Magdalene is to be identified with. the sinful wo- man mentioned in the preceding chapter, and there is no sufficient ground for such identification, de- mon possession is nowhere in the New Testament associated-ith low moral character. Both igattry Magdalene and Joanna aromen- tioned again in connection with the events of resurrection morning. Chuzas, the husband of Joanna, is nowhere eIse mentioned unless we identify him, as Godet suggests, with the nobleman mentioned in John 4, 46-53, "Who believed with his whole house," As the steward of Herod .Antipas, tetrarch of Gali lee, he would be manager of the letter's large estates, a man who exercised much influence in Her- od's household. Susanna is not mentioned elsewhere. As they went on the way—An al- together different occasion and doubtless much earlier than the events above mentioned. Compare Matt. 8, where this certain • man is referred to es a scribe. Hath not where to lay his head—The pub- lic life of Jesus was one of constant activity and travel, so that ho had to forego entirely the usual corn - forts of home life. Leave the dead to bury their own dead—Let those who are so engrossed with the af- fairs of everyday life that they have not heard and responded to the call of the gospel attend to such. matters as you put forth as an ex- cuse for not immediately proclaim- ing the kingdom of God. Evidently the man had either offered a ficti- tious excuse for not following Jesus immediately or by his entire manner manifested a flippant and superficial attitude toward the in- vitation extended, thus calling forth the Master's stern reply, which he Himself would hardly make a rule for everybody to fol- low literally, What jostle would have all excuse makers understand he makes very plain in the next sentence, in which ho makes stead- fastness and fidelity the test of fit- ness for the kingdom of God. As they went on their way—At this point we resume the narrative of our last lesson, though here too we must remember what was said in the paragraph on "chronologi- cal sequence" in connection with that lesson, The passage which follows may or may not be related closely in time with what imme- diately precedes. A certain village—Bethany, near. the Mount of Olives (John 11, 1, 18), In Mark 14. 3 and Matt. 20, 0 we read of a feast prepared for Jesus in the house of Simon the leper, Martha serving and Mary anointing the. Master's feet. It has been con- jectured that perhaps Martha was Simon's daughter or even his wife. In either case Simon would. not be present, since the law de- manded the •separ•at'%on .of lepers from other people. Cumbered about much serving— Marthe evidently had gone to much trouble in order to do due honor to their distinguished guest. In centering her mind' wholly upon the external service and hospitality she lost, in part at least, the deeper joy of sfellowehip .with. the Master which the occasion of his visit made possible and of which her more spiritually minded sister eagerly took advantage. But one thing is needful—Splen- did and appropriate' as was the service which Martha rendered, it was not ,absolutely .essential, and when permitted to rob her of the. greater blessing which the occasion afforded, it became an : enoum branco rather than a source of blessing, A .new rifle union has been form- ed for orm-ed''for British a•iflemen.

Wheeler, now in his 72nd year, and living in Ivanrest; Mich., has a notable history. He experi- enced the sensation of dying and says it was delightful; be has spent 40 years of his life walking from place to place delivering lectures, accepting only food and clothing as recompense; he gives all the money he receives to charity and lives on the charity of his friends; he looks like Alexander Dowio and John Burroughs, and has often been mis- taken for one or the other of them; he walks fourteen miles daily to get reading matter in the public li- brary; he believes in reincarnation and says he is not a fanatic. "I believe I have had the most wonderful experience of any human being living," he said. "I have practically died and lived again. Not long after graduation I was swimming with a number of com- panions when I suddenly went down. It was several mihutes be- fore my friends missed me, and when they finally located my body I was unconscious. A doctor was summoned from half a mile away, and when he arrived he pronounced nye dead. I was taken to my board- ing-house and another doctor who lived a mile away was sent fora He, too, pronounced me dead. "While the fact that I regained consciousness after so many hours ie not iso remarkable, it is remark- able that while apparently dead I was never more fully alive in my life. But I was a part distinct from my body. I could tell the persons about me everything that happened while I lay unable to move. During those hours I discovered many things. Much was revealed to me that would sound preposterous to relate. But the one thing I do re member is the queer sensation of. dying, "Dying is delightful; of that I ani sure. After losing consciousness my body, I am told, sank to the bottom of the lake, but the other self seemed ea float away from my body and soar above the water, 1 looked down and could see my body. I saw the rescuers find it, and place it on the bank, I then seemed to return to the fleshy prison and again become a part of it, but was incapable of giving it volition. I exerted all my strength, but could cause no, movement of the muscles: Finally, I seemed to secure a firmer grasp on things, and almost instant- ly regained consciousness. In that fleeting moment between the con- scious and the unconscious state the thought of returning to life was repugnant. It seemed like a re- turn to prison after a tour of the outside, "Prior to that experience I had been an agnostic, disbelieving in a hereafter or a spiritual state of ex- istence, but now my whole point of view of life changed. I have never since doubted the spiritual exist- ence. A Dian is double, ,and the body is not a part of him. I don't want to be classed as a Spiritualist; in fact, don't care to be la'beled at all, although theosophy conies near- est to my belief. I believe in a re- incarnation, and that death simply turn a man inside out." 'NOTED FINANCIER DEAD. Hon. George A. Cox Passed Away in His 74th .Year. A despatch from Toronto says Senator George A. Cox, for ,years rated one of the' greatest frnanoiers in Canada, and always a oitizen of whom the Dominion was justly' proud, died just before. daybreak: en Friday morning at his home in Sherbourne Street after en illness of nearly a year.

HOURLY NEED AICD DANGER Story of the Israelites' Wanderings Applicable for Our Own Age and For Every Age 'Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.—Exodus 15, When W n rho Israelites were wander- ing through the 'wilderness to , the promised land they encountered all sorts of vicissitudes: Day after clay they web brought face to face with privations and disasters, un- til it seemed as though flesh rand blood could endure no more. What shall we do 2 they cried. Where- upon "the congregation" divided, in answer to this question, into three distinct and mutually` antag- onistic parties. First, there were the people who looked back to the good old days in Egypt and clamored to return. Theyy had been 'i in slavery in those days, to be sure, but they had had plenty to eat and had'beensecure from the perils of trackless wastes and the attacks of unknown ene- mies. "Would that we had died in the land of Egypt," thy said, "when we diel eat bread to the full, for yo have brought us forth into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger." -Set up the Golden Calf. Next there were the people who, at rho end of each clay's journey, were well content and desired therefore to go no further. Tho manna and quails were abundant, the water gushing from the rocks- was sweet and the heavenly por- tents seemed propitious. "This is the promised land," they said. `LLet us remain right here 1" It was this party, we may believe, which set up the golden calf at the foot of Mount Sinai and worshipped at the new made shrine. Lastly, there were the people, few in number but mighty in cour- age and spiritual insight, who were willing neither to return nortore- main but insisted always upon pushing ahead. They realized that they were wandering in an unfamil- iar country and were beset by the perils of the desert and its savage inhabitants. But they also realiz- ed that to "return to Egypt was to go back to bondage, to stay here at I the .uieht's encampment was to re - mein in a peipot110l1y insecure Pos citron and that, above all things alae, ,to do either of 'these threes s g was to miss the promised. land. Therefore, under the leadership of Moses, did they insist upon moving on! -And in so doing, ` we are told, significantly enough, .they obeyed the woad of God. Forlit is written, "Jehovah said unto Moses, Speak tints) the children :of Israel, that they go forward," Now here, in *his story, do we have a parable for our own age and for every age, Always, in the critical periods ..of 'history, are there the men whotalk about "Tire Good Old Times" and fin e find an escape from present dangers in the traditions of the elders and the customs of the fa- thers. Always are there the men also who are well satisfied with things as they are and therefore de- precate any agitation for move- ment, •either backward or forward. But with neither of these two parties, in the last analysis, is tlier"e true wisdom. For this we have to go to those lonely and valiant spit - its of every age who see with per- fect clearness the needs and clan- gers of the hour, and see with equal clearness that +these can be success- fully : met not by retreating, nor yet by standing still, but only by advancing boldly into the unknown future—the prophets, apostles, martyrs, seers, who behold the pro- mised land in the far distance and speak unto men the will of God, that they "go forward!" To -day, as in the days of Moses, these aro the counsellors who must be heeded if the race is to be saved. At no time more appropriately than at the beginning of this new year can we remind ourselves that - "Nein occasions teach new duties, Time makes ancient good un- couth; ncouch; We must upward still aricl onward. Who would keep abreast op' truth," —Rev, John Haynes Holmes. CARGOES OF MAIL. Immense Postal Traffic Between Great Britain and Canada. Some idea of the tremendous postal trade between Great Britain and Canada is given in the figures secured from the General Post- offiee and published in a London paper, During the week before Christmas, 8,500,000 letters for Can- ada were sent out, The figures are: Parcels, Letters. Australia 19,500 2,500,000 China, & Far East 10,000 — India and Ceylon. 48,000 — India and the whole of the Far East — `5,000,000 New Zealand 19,000 620,000 South Africa 10,000 3,125,000 Canada — 8,500,000 The figures concerning .the par- cels sent to Canada were not pro- curable, along with the rest, be- cause such parcels were sent en- tirely from Liverpool. Altogether, the G. P. O. reported that 50,000,- 000 letters went out during the Christmas rush and ten thousand extra employees were engaged in London alone to handle the work, and twenty-one - buildings were pressed into service, including drill halls, public baths, and auction rooms. It will be noted from the above figures drat more letters were for Canada than for South Africa, Aus- tralia, and New Zealand combined, and more for Canada than for China, India, all the Far Best, with either Australia or South Africa thrown in. There has, in fact, been a tre- mendous increase in the mail busi- ness between Canada and Great Britain in the past fifteen years. Anybody who has seen the Cana- ,dian mail put off the ship at the other side of the pond, or the American mail put off such a boat as the Lusitania, never fergets the sense of unlimited bulk that com- munication between this continent and Great Britain assumes. He sees thousands and thousands of fat mail bags shooting down the sides into the waiting mail boat. He is aware that from unseen and unexpected nooks in the ship he has traveled on, a cargo of mail is being put forth that the ship of a century ago would scarcely have had space to accommodate.
