A ' miracle wrought by Jesus is by some attri- htitedto the prince of- evil ,spirits. Verse 14. Demon that was dumb -So called because it made the man dumb. 15. Some of them said -Matthew says it was the Pharisees who made this remark (Matt. 9. 34). ,Beelzebub -This word occurs only about a half dozen times,in the New Testament and nowhere in the Old Testament. The form of the word here used is taken from the Vul- gate, or early Latin translation of the .13ible The Greek manuscripts have instead the word :''Beelze- bul whdeh may mean either "lord of the mansion" or "lord of the pit," It is uncereain whether the Jews identifiedBeelzebub with S a - tanor'beliaved him to be a subor- dinate evil power. 11. Sought of him a sign from heaven -A renewal of the third temptation (Luke 4, 9-12), in that Jesus is requested to.,sperform , a miracle, for the' mere purpose of Showing his power to unbelievers. 17, 18. Jesus shows the people the unreasonableness of believing that through the assistance, of an evil power he could crust out evil. If the power of Satan were used to east out one of his own subjects, then his kingdom would be divided and would surely fall. A ,house divided against a house --Better' "houge after house fall- eth." Here Luke apparently meant ee enlarge upon the desola- tion brought about by a divided kingdom, and did not' refer, as olid Matthew and Mark, to..:a divided house (sea Matt. 12. 25; Mark' 3. 12 5 19, 20. Your sons-Jewieh- exor- cists, who used charms and incanta l tions to drive away the spirits of diseaseand other spirits of evil. By the finger of God -•Matthew (12. 28) says "the spirit of God." 21, 22. This parable contains a suggestion of Isaiah 40. 24-20. The strong man 'would then refer to Satan guarding the entrance of his own court er mansion, and the stronger would refer to Jesus, who would overcome him and take from him his armor in which he trusted. 23, He that is not with me is against me -The contest between Christ and Satan is small that no one can remain neutral. Indiffer- ence here is equivalent to opposi- tion:. , 24-20. In reproving"the Pharisees for their baseless criticiser. of him and for their desire for a miracle' to test his power, Jesus depicts '+ their spiritual condition by using the parable of expelled demons, a subject foreign to our 'thought to,- da.y, but moving in the'regron' of popular opinion of his day. The point of the parable for r us is the fact of common experience which it emphasizes, that lie who has once experienced the goodness and mercy.of. God in the forgiveness of sin and thereafter permits the old habits to again take possession of his life is sure to sink steadily to lower and lower levels. The lana .gunge throughout is .figurative. and the details of the parable must not be forced.in their application. Waterless places -Deserts, ceme- teries, and places 'uninhabited ' by men were thought to be the haunts of demons. ' Seeking rest and finding none- The demon is seeking for a place of abode. T ]se MY house ha one has as tads -e n Possession of it, so he still calls it "my house." He findeth it swept and garnish- ed-, but empty. Evil can be per- manently overcome only by posi- tive good, a bad' habit by a good one, wrongdoing by right conduct,' selfishness by service. 33-36. In these verses Jesus ear ries the argument of his discourse one step farther,," Not only must individual allegiance to -the king- dom of heaven result in positive goodness; but that goodness must be helpful to aahers. It cannot re- main as a secreted personal pos- session. The two illustrations used by Jesus make this point perfectly clear.

FROM PAGE TO LEGISLATOJt. .fames David 'Taylor, Viember fel' Neu Westminster, B.C- A few times every generation things work out almost according to the novelist in his wildest flights of fancy. Now and then the poor boy walks into the bank and asks for' a jolt, picking up a pin the while, and thereby attracting the attention of grizzly steel -hearted bens, gets the job, and soon 'becomes president of the bank. It's bound to happen very often, of course, that the youngster is refused the job, and is rated; soundly for stealing the pin, but not always. Occasionally the brakeman gets_ to be boss of the road, and once in a blue moon the legislative page becomee the pow- erful statesman in the body where he once ran',errande. Nearly 40 years ago --37 to be ex- act -- a blue-eyed blonde haired youngster of 13 summers who bore the name of James David Taylor, applied for the position' of page in the Canadian Iiduse'of Commons. He got the job all right, and for the next five months of the session of "fa lightly answered' the beck and call of Mackenzie (who was the Prime, Minister), Macdonald, Blain, Thompson, Tupper, and incidental- ly Wilfrid Laurier, whose antago- nist in the same Commons in the years to come fate and decreed him to be. That was a stirringgsession, .as our political historians have not neglected to note, and the youthful page imbibed in large draughts a love for political conflict, and dreamed of the days when per- chance he, . too, would strike a heroic pose and declaim for the "plain people." Being a page, however exciting it may appear to the juvenile, is not very lucrative financially, and "Jimmie" Taylor, like the- majority of other mortals, needed all the loose change he could aocnhnulate. A printing press had that strange attraction for him which some noted men of letters seem to think it had for them, and the following year• he forsook the lir. J. D. 'Tayler,'111.P. paging game to become ea printer's apprentice in the office of the Ot- tawa Citizen, srad uating. as. a full- fledged Typographical Union man five years later. But'somehow or other politics and journalism seem- ed to call him with an irresistible form, and after four years at the printing business he went' down to Montreal as a reporteron' one of the big dailies. He had a habit of getting at the heart of things that naught the eye of the chief editor, and they soon sent him.. to Ottawa to record the proceedings of Parlia- ment from the Press Gallery, He was heartily 'welcomed by, met upon an equal footing, and even mildly - cidticized a t times, kings; by the same men for whom, not ten years before, he meekly ran errands. It was along stride upwards, but Tay- lor had no thought of making the Press Gallery his terminus, and now recalled his page boy dreams of some day becoming "a .member of Parliameo1 himself. Because an Editor. ' Tie went 'through the fierce cam- paign of 1891, and has vivid reports of solveof the spectacular meetings• of that stirring political struggle avers models of graphic and faithful reporting. His work attracted such favorable attention, indeed, that he received.- encs accepted a flattering cffee of a position on the editorial stet" of the Victoria Colonist. That was in 1892. By moo, 3. D. Taylor had become a foteo to reckon with in the somewhat tangled politica-1 situation on the coast. He moved to New. Westminster to become managing editor of The Columbian, and four years later he was chosen as the Coneervativo standard- bearer. Taylor's party was almost annihilated, but he 'himself tri- umphed, and three months later lie entered the House of Commons to fight ,with and against some of the men whose page -he had been in the sante .legislc tivo chamber twenty eight years before.

Largely /lade Up of the Scraps of Time, Shreds of Energy and Odds and Ends of Devotion. a "And 1)`'10' remnant thereof he malceth.1 god, ,even this graven im- age."-isaiah xliv., 17. It is .a striking portnayal' which Isaiah gives us, in the passage from which 0021 text is taken, of the an- cient process of idol -making. He pictures a man going •out ilto the forest arid cutting down a great ce- (lea and bringing the fallen tree toi h s home.. Most of the wood is speedily chopped up and used in the fire, but a small residue ie put aside, to be fashioned into an idol and .set up and worshipped. The man "burneth a part in the firs," says the prophet; "with a part he eateth flesh, he roalsteth meat and is satisfied; yeas he 'warmeth him- self and earth, Aha, I am warm. And the remnant thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image." Human Nature' Repeats Itself. It is obvious from this statement of the prophet that elle people of primitive times took religion about as 'seriously and gage to it about as much of their lives as the people of our clay. Human nature, and not merely history, repeats itself. The deity of the idol -maker wag a'rem- nant 'god. ' He was fashioned only after the tree had yielded all the timber that was desirablefor cook- ing food and warming the house- and probably, in a good proportion of cases, cut of wood that would not burn very well, anyhow I And so with us to -day 1 • Our reit 'on, when we have any at all in this age, is a remnant religion, largely made up of the scraps of time, shreds of energy and odds and enols of clew- tion, which seem to be unusable in any other direction. We give to religion ,the hour or two on Sunday Holmes. morning for which no other engage- ment seems to wall. We contributes •. to its work the few dollar9 which may be left when we have satisfied every fop food, dines:,ss. travel and entertainment." We 'praectise its precepts only when such practise does not seriously interfere with the excitements of • pleasure and the conditions of business, ' We serve its 'emancipating' causes only; so long .as such 'service does not threaten our physical 'comfort or, • shake our reputation for sanity, re- spectability and geed taster • Our Religious' Life, in other words, is not the whole of our lives, but a remnant of the whole. As the idol -maker fashion- ed his image out of that piece of •" wood which was left after he had built as big a fire es was necessary to warm, his limbs' and roast his• roasts, so we give -unto Gott only that part of our lives which is left after we have given as much of our- selves to the world as is necessary in order to win and hold the prizes ' of the world. It would be as strange to most of nes to give oureelves wholly to God and eacrifiee every- thing in His behalf as it would have been strange to the idol -maker to use the whole tree for his god. And yet it is just this, and not one whit less, which construes religion in the true sense of the word! The re- ligious life can rightly be uo rem- nant en-nan't thing. It is all or nothing! Mases ande. e Jesus are in specific agreement \vhen 1±hey say : ''sire first of all the commandments is this :-Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with ,all thy heart, and all thy soul, unci all thy_ mind, and all thy strength 1'' -Rel*.

As she came down the Morgans' steps, Mita Mitchell, paused a mo- ment irresolutely, "Four calls and three teas are as much as any e n- stitution can stand in one after- noon," she, decided, "I'm going to reward myself . by . running hi at Anne's. Besides, I want to know why she wasn't at the Hamilbons'." Anne was at home. She looked up with a start at the sound of Rita' -a step in the doorway. Rita's gay glance, took in Anne's shirt waist and the gloiwing mass of embers in the fireplace. "You shirk !" elm pried. "Yeti haven't been out to -day. Aren't you ashamed!

"It began," Anne replied, obedi- en•tly, "by my getting mad." • "I've known one or two things to begin that 'way before," Rita murmured. • ".E,eactly.

It was a brilliant piece of elo- quence,'' "I have no .doubt of it," Rita said, laughing. Well, I came upstairs in as glow of virtuous indignation, Then I be- gan to think over the past ten days. And then the revolution began. Rita` Mitchell, have you any xleia how much time you spend on your clathes 7" • "Not in the least," Rita m011502 ed, frankly.
