Storni of wind -Greek, a great squall. Matthew calls it a "tempest" (8. 24). 38, The cushion -On the helms- man's seat. •The mention of the cushion and other little boats indi- cates the careful detail of Mark's narrative. 39. Peace, be still -Silence, be muzzled, We addresses the waves as though 'speaking to an unruly ox. The Greek word carries with it not only the meaning that the sea should become. quiet, but also that it should remain so. A great ealm-"In centrest with the great storm." 40. Have ye not yet faith i -This question seems to indicate the prin- cipal lesson which the incident is intended to teach. In view of all the preceding miracles it would seem that these men, who had been intimately associated with Josue, should have been confident of his power and disposition to care for then', yet the incident discloses a woeful lack of faith. The startled appeal to their sleeping Master be- speaks the distrust which possessed tbem when confronted with danger. The stilling of the storm is one more incident added to the long list of miracles which were designed to inspire the disciples with a constant faith in Jesus as the master of every situation. 41. Feared exceedingly -At first on account of their danger, later because of the mysterious power which Jesus exercised. Even the wind and the sea obey hint -Recorded in all three synop- tic Gospels, indicating the marked impression made, that not only were disease and demons subject to Jesus, but the natural elements as well. 51. Gerresenes-Luke 8. 26 gives this rendering, while Matthew 8. 28 reads Gadarenes. The city Ger- sa, or Kersa from which the proper noun Gera,sones is derived, was situated on the eastern side of the lake, about midway from north to south, and about a roile from the shore. The shore at the point op- posite is narrow and steep, drop- ping abruptly fromsthe high table- land to the water's edge. Here there is another heap of ruins de- signated by the same name. The proper noun Gaclarenes, on the other hand, comes from Gaelara, a city six miles southeast of the lake and south of the Hieroma,x or Yar- muk gorge. Gadara was fortified in ancient times and was one of the principal cities of Decapolis. Compare verse 20. Because of its importance it was known more widely outside of Palestine than was Germ, and this fact may have led to the substitution of Gado, - renes for Gerasenes by some an- cient eopyists. When we remmeber how often the manuscripts of our Gospels were copied and recopied during the many centuries preceding the invention of printing, the won- der is that more copyist's errors of this kind than actually do occur are not found in the Gospels. 2. Straightway -A 001/1111on word in Mark's rapid sketch of events. Tombs -Caves in the limestone cliffs in the vicinity of Gersa. A man -Matthew mentions two. Luke, however, mentions only one. It is not improbable thee there were twe of whom one was the fiercer and acted as spokesman. Unclean spirit -Compare Lesson Text Studies for March 10 for note on Demon Possession. 6. Worshiped him -Paid him rev- erence. This wasan act of obei- same which (lid not necessarily amount to the worship of deity, but Wail a common means by which one person acknowledged the superior- ity of another.

Theoretically the exeoutors were entire- ly 'correct in their attitude. Practically it would depend a great deal on the na- ture of the business in which the cern. pony was engaged. As a rule, however, their propoeed action was admirable. In- duetrial companies depend for their 5113' scan on a great many things which can. be altered by polities, nature, finance and the whim of the populace. ley politics through tariffs and teem; if the tariff on the products of certain of our industrial companies was lowered or wiped out the shareholders would find their securitice worth but little. The boudholders would alone use up most of the profits. Nature could affect industrial companies in many ways. Pulp and timber companies by fire could conceivably be wiped out. Floods might destroy mills, though this possibly is scarcely applicable th any but the smal- lest single plant indite -tries. Finance could affect an industrial company through its bankers and through the mar- ket for its securities, and finally, on the whim of the people many induetrial cone panics depend for their business.

Part should always be treated as capital and put by in a sort of sinking fund to reinvest as it grows large enough in this way -if the holding is large, two per cent. of each five receiv. ect in dividends should be sa,ved. Thus, from a ten per cont, dividend six per cent. could be spent and four per cent. put be to be treated as capital. If after ten or twelve years the company was still "in tbe ring" the sinking fund would have amounted to eufacient to offset a 'sere eubstantial depreciation in value and would, through reinvesting the income from the sinking fund, amount to the pan value of the investment in a few years more. Of course, where the mun in- vested ie email it is scarcely worth vrhile bothering about it in this way. It is wiser to sell tho stock if ono cannot an - ford to take any chincee with °nee' capital.

TIJRNING SORROW INTO JOY It• is the Discovery and Realization of the Truth • Which Brings This to Pass And ye shall be sorrowful hut your sorrow shall he turned into oy.-John, xvi.,'20. We seldom think of serroWs nt blessings, although many of our joys are but transmuted sorrows, Moral and spiritual values are learned only through the diseipline of sorrow, just as 'discriminating v sion is attained only by means of darkness and shadows, Some sor- rows are the product of a morbid temperament,and a brooding imagi- nation and are as purely artifikial as the fog in a kitchen from a boil- ing tea kettle. A cool breeze dis- pels the one and 'common sense will cure the other, Sorrows are the emotions whidh arise when we contemplate the fail- ure ef elieriehed hopes and expecta- tions, as miasma rises from the deadness and decay of summer's beautiful foliage, brought low by the windand rains of autumn. And yet, out of this dere of vital nutri- ment many a seed and plant blinds up new life, transforming death and decay into LIFE AND BEAUTY. In like manner, truth finds lodg- ment in the heart, absorbing the vital forces from ruined hopes and expectations, and turns the emo- tions of sorrow into those of joy. The enchantment of nature's laws, which turns the bitterness of the root and its environment into the sweetness of the fruit, is outrivalled by the higher laws of truth and grace which turn the bitterness of sorrow into joy. Ignorance and indifference to truth are continually producing great harvest:a of Sorrow in the lives of mankind, as ignorance and ne- glect on the fernier part produce noxious thhaervseeitlfithoa.tf owfegedfirain And y these must be ploughed back into be the richest; neren. as our mis- takes and sorrows may also make fuller and better the true and last- ing joy. , Truth and loyalty to it are the two forces which govern the destiny of man, The more of truth we grasp and the more thoroughly W8 Obe7 it the larger our realization of life and joy, SHALLOW GUESSES at great truths mean the turning of brief joys into sorrows, as surely as surface springs dry up in early sum- mer. Deep and earliest pursuit of truth will lead to fountains of light and joy which fail not, even as the deep cleft rock sends forth perpet- ual refreshment. Most of all vvill the religious life turn sorrow into jese because reli- gion. after all, is •simply a great passion for truth and an equal pas- sion for its realization. Anything less than this is not worthy the name of religion. Obedience to the truth will, step by step, turn our sorrows, born of ignorance and im- perfections, into enduring jeys. Truth will dissolve the very lest shadow, and we shall behold the Author of Truth Himself, and "the mystery of God shall be finished," and our final sorrow shall be turned into our greatest joy, for "eleatil shall be swallowed up in victory."

The idea of a leader of the Oppoeition taking his whole party on a trip through New Ontario was a novel one, and Mr. Rowell has been receiving a, good deal of non-partisan praise for conceiving and currying out hie dog -day jaunt. To take 116 representative old Ontario citizens, even if they are vote -bunting, into New Ontario, cannot help but be good ter both Old and New Ontario. The govern. ment, too, is getting credit for the spirit it showed in connection with tbe under- taking. A Terniskaming and Northern Ontario Railway private oar was placed at tee disposal of Mr. Rowell, and goy - eminent officials at varione point's were instructed to look after the comforte of the party. The growing interest in the hinterland is further evidenced ley the Toronto Board of Trade's second expedition into it in force. YAORT/NG HAS FEW CONVERTS. With international yacht races at To- ronto and at Chicago, the first week in August Bees the climax in the 'season's Interest In yachting.

There ie donbtlees much more money invested in pleasure boats in Termites than ever before, but that is be - 'muse every oneo in a while some million- aire takes it into hie head to spend 5100.- 000 on a steam emelt, and expensive motor boats also are increasing in number. But in the old-fashioned • dinghys and other sailing craft where every man works for his passage, there le not much advance. Possibly accidents have held popularity in check. An amateur in a Hellbent is about as awkward and as dangerous a combination so one ever sees, and the occasional fatal upset that happens always result& in a lot of sailboats being put on the market, (4nd maims a lot of other Pan ple decide to find snort Keno other way, deepite the many natural advantages of- fered by Toronto's bast. TORONTO SPREADS WESTWARD. There are many people living who re. member when it was quite an expedition to visit the Humber river, which flows in- to Lake Ontario some five mithe weet of the foot of Yonge street. In the old days excursion boats ran from the harbor to the Humber mouth.
